DEFINITION

Classification: 52/384

(under the class definition) Structure including thin, sheetlike, nonload-bearing facing elements which have their hidden faces attached closely adjacent to or in contact with the opposed surface of a preconstructed barrier by means comprising preformed components which together form a sheetlike retainer means (backer) for the elements, e.g., a grid with tiles in its openings.

(1) Note. See "Glossary" in class definition of "load-bearing".

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

127.1+, for a tile attached to a handling sheet or strip which is removed before the tiles are applied at site of use.

311.1+, for a construction wherein a desired effect is obtained by color, thickness variation or dissimilar elements forming a pattern.

390+, for a facing of tiles held by an adhesive (mastic) and

tiles, per se, having structural features for such use. 415+, for facers, e.g., bricks, bonded to each other by a settable material, e.g., mortar.

474+, for a facer, e.g., panel, supported by a sustainer, i.e., elongated load-bearing structural component, particularly subclasses 484+, for a suspended ceiling of edge abutted panels (sometimes called tiles).

506.01+, for another construction having facers attached to another in situ erected substructure.

518+, for lapped multiplanar (shingle type) facing.

, DIG 16, for a tie or shingle with cover means for adhesive on it.

156, Adhesive Bonding and Miscellaneous Chemical Manufacture, appropriate subclass for processes of bonding discrete lamina to a single face of another lamina, particularly

71, for bonding lamina to a previously erected building structure.

428, Stock Material or Miscellaneous Articles, appropriate subclasses for a single or plural layer stock material product which does not have a physical feature or a mechanical connector for cooperation with a panel or a supporting substructure.
