ABSTRACT:
A tile 14 to be parted along a pre scored parting line is grasped between a pair of elements 36 which contact one surface of the tile on either side of the line, and a further element 30 which contacts the opposite surface of the tile on the line itself. Downward pressure on a handle member 26 then causes a jaw member 28 on which the element 30 is mounted to pivot about a fixed axis 18 to apply a parting pressure to the tile. In order to adjust the starting position of the element 30 to suit different thicknesses of tile, the member 28 is carried on a cam member 20 so that it can be rotated about a second axis which is eccentrically disposed relative to the axis 18.
