Abstract:
A device for leveling and aligning tiles and method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling device includes a body and two spaced and parallel strip members extending transversely from the body. Each of the spaced and parallel strip members extend to the front and rear of the body. Two opposing lateral open windows are formed in the body. A breakaway section is defined along the body. A wedge device is provided for penetrating one or more of the two opposing lateral open windows and exerting a force on the tiles for leveling them relative to each other.

Claim (Index 5):
A tile leveling device and tile combination comprising:\n a leveling device comprising:\n a body defining an open window, \n a base orthogonally coupled to the body, the base extending to the front of the body and the base extending to the rear of the body, \n a base to body coupling including a frangible breakaway section, the base and body being integral prior to frangible separation, the frangible breakaway section, upon breaking, frangibly separating the body from the base, \n a first notch formed at the base extending to the front of the base, and \n a second notch formed at the base extending to the rear of the body; \n a first tile over the base to the front of the body, the first tile having a first surface opposite a second surface, the first tile having contact with mortar at the first notch, wherein the first surface faces the base and the second surface is farther from the base than the first surface; a second tile over the base at the rear of the body, the second tile having a third surface opposite a fourth surface, the second tile having contact with mortar at the second notch, wherein the third surface faces the base and the fourth surface is farther from the base than the third surface; and the frangible breakaway section being located between the first and second surfaces of the first tile and the third and fourth surfaces of the second tile.
