Abstract:
A tile laying gauge and leveling assembly comprising:a plurality of elongated side members; a leveling assembly having extension arms extending outwardly from opposite sides of a central panel, each of said extension arms being positionable to rest on an edge of a respective one of said side members when said side members are positioned generally parallel with respect to each other whereby said central panel is positioned to extend between said side members; said central panel having a first longitudinal side having a straight edge extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of said central panel; and said central panel having a second longitudinal side having a plurality of notches adapted for facilitating preparation of a recipient surface for laying tile; said central panel having a plurality of threaded connection rods extending outwardly from a first face of said central panel; each of said extension arms having a pair of connection slots, each of said plurality of threaded connection rods being insertable through an associated one of said connection slots, each of said rods being slidable within said associated connection slot for adjustably coupling said extension arms to said central panel; and a plurality of connection members for engaging said connection rods for frictionally engaging said extension arms to said central panel such that each of said extension arms is selectively holdable in a static position relative to said central panel.
