Abstract:
A tile leveling and alignment system for use in aligning and leveling a plurality of tiles, comprising a tile leveling and aligning device, a vertical leveling hand device, a horizontal leveling device and an optional slip ring/spacer device. The tile leveling and aligning device comprising a base portion integrally coupled to a stem portion projecting upwards from the base portion. The base portion adapted for engaging a bottom surface of a number of tiles to be leveled and aligned. The stem portion comprising a central aperture and one or more spacer legs or fins, each spacer leg extending transversely from the central aperture. Each spacer leg defining a joint width between adjacent tiles to be leveled and aligned. Each spacer leg dividing the tile leveling and aligning device into equal sized areas of common shape and defining a joint width between adjacent tiles to be leveled and aligned.

Claim (Index 16):
A tile leveling and aligning system, comprising:\n a tile leveling and aligning device comprising a main body comprising a base portion integrally coupled to a stem portion, the base portion adapted for engaging a bottom surface of a number of tiles to be leveled and aligned, the stem portion projecting upwards from the base portion and having one or more spacer legs extending transversely from a center aperture of the stem portion, one or more spacer legs having a series of external threads integrally formed on an outer face of the one or more spacer legs, the one or more spacer legs dividing the base portion into equal sized areas of common shape, each of the equal sized areas adapted to receive a corner of one of the tiles to be leveled and aligned, each spacer leg defining a joint width between adjacent tiles to be leveled and aligned, a first horizontal leveling device for engaging a top surface of the number of tiles to be horizontally leveled and aligned, the first horizontal leveling device adapted and configured to engage the series of external threads integrally formed on the outer face of the one or more spacer legs formed on the outer face of the stem portion of the tile leveling and aligning device, the engagement resulting in a single connected assembly comprising the tile leveling and aligning device, the horizontal leveling device and the number of tiles to be leveled and aligned, a vertical leveling hand device comprising a ring-shaped element including four integrally connected vertical legs having an equidistant relative spacing on the ring-shaped element, the vertical leveling hand device adapted to be placed over the first horizontal leveling device, and a second horizontal leveling device for placement over the vertical leveling hand device, the second horizontal leveling device adapted and configured to engage a top portion of the spacer legs formed on the outer face of the stem portion of the tile leveling and aligning device, the engagement resulting in a single connected assembly comprising the second horizontal leveling device, the vertical leveling hand device, the first horizontal leveling device and the number of tiles to be leveled and aligned.
