Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to connecting various kinds of plate materials such as floor cut-off materials, sill materials for sliding doors, and joiners for connecting wall materials and ceiling materials provided at abutting portions of floor materials. It relates to a connecting member used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to conceal a gap generated at a butt portion between floor materials, to prevent dust from entering the gap, or to prevent a step from being generated at a butt portion between floor materials. A floor parting material is constructed between end portions of the floor material to be abutted.

A sill material on which the sliding door runs is laid on the upper surface of the opening where the sliding door is constructed, and floor materials constructed in two rooms separated by the sliding door are provided on the side surfaces of the sill material. The sill material is constructed so as to cover the edge of the floor material and conceal the gap with the floor material.

[0004] More specifically, these floor cut-off materials and sill materials (since they are used to connect plate materials such as floor materials, etc., hereinafter, they are collectively referred to as "connecting members" in this specification. Has a brim extending horizontally on its upper surface, and it is installed with enough space to fit the connecting member. It is fixed on the floor base between the floor materials so as to cover and cover the edge of the floor material.

[0005] In these connecting members, since there is no mark indicating the width of the connecting member when the floor material is applied to the floor substrate, the butt interval between the floor members is adjusted to match the width of the connecting member. In order to accurately determine the size, it was necessary to measure the dimensions of the connecting member using a measure or the like, and to mark the floor substrate based on the dimensions.

In order to solve this problem, the connecting member is divided into an upper member and a lower member, and the upper member having a brim at the longitudinal end is fitted and mounted on the lower member. The construction is performed so as to cover the butted portion between the lower member and the floor material. According to this connecting member,
First, the lower member is fixed on the floor substrate, then the floor material is constructed by abutting the edge of the floor material against the longitudinal edge of the lower member, and then the upper member is placed on the lower member to place the lower member in the longitudinal direction. The brim portion provided at the direction edge extends on the floor material, so that the gap between the floor material and the connecting member can be concealed and the edge of the floor material can be concealed.

In the case of using this connecting member, the edge of the flooring is abutted against the edge of the lower member of the connecting member, so that the position of the edge of the flooring is not shifted and the flooring is not shifted. The positioning is facilitated, the workability is improved, and the work positions of the respective flooring materials can be aligned, so that there is an advantage that the joints are not displaced and the work can be performed with good appearance.

[0008]

However, this connecting member is constructed in such a manner that the edge of the lower member and the edge of the flooring material abut against each other and there is no space between them, so that the flooring material is constructed after the construction. When trying to cause deformation such as warpage or expansion due to moisture absorption, the lower member is pushed from the lateral direction by the deformation of the floor material and rises from the floor base, or the lower member is firmly fixed In some cases, the flooring material sometimes floated up from the floor base and was warped in a mountain shape.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and has the function of positioning the flooring material when the flooring material is constructed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel connecting member having a function of being able to follow a later deformation of a floor material.

That is, in the connecting member according to the present invention, a brim material extending outward from the base material over its entire length in the longitudinal direction is provided on the base material provided with the elastic positioning piece on the longitudinal side edge. It is characterized by being provided detachably.

The positioning piece is preferably provided so as not to protrude outward from the brim material.

The connecting member of the present invention is composed of a base material and a brim material, and these constituent members are made of solid wood, plywood, laminated wood,
Wood material such as laminated veneer, wood fiber board, particle board, oriented strand board, synthetic resin molding material obtained by molding various resins such as hard vinyl chloride resin, soft vinyl chloride resin, ABS resin, stainless steel And a metal material such as aluminum or any other material. The base material and the brim material may be made of the same material, or may be made of different materials. Further, the surface of these constituent members can be subjected to optional makeup by coloring, printing a pattern, or attaching a decorative sheet such as a decorative veneer, a decorative paper, or a decorative synthetic resin sheet.

[0013]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a connecting member according to the present invention is configured as a floor parting material provided at an abutting portion between floor materials, and FIG.
Is shown in

The floor parting material 10 comprises an upper member (brim material) 1
1 and a lower member (base material) 12. Upper member 11
Are provided on both side edges thereof with a brim portion 13 extending outwardly over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. The brim portion 13 is used by fixing the upper member 11 to the lower member 12 by fitting a fitting projection 15 and a fitting recess 16, which will be described later, on the floor base (not shown) as the floor parting material 10. The lower member 1
2 conceals itself and conceals the butted portion between the floor materials F, F, eliminates a step caused by the exposed portion of the butted portion, and dust enters a stumbling block or a gap when walking. To prevent that.

The flange 13 preferably has an inclined surface that becomes thinner toward the tip. Thereby, the step between the brim portion 13 and the floor material surface is gradually eliminated, and the effect of preventing stumbling during walking is further enhanced.

The collar portion 13 is generally formed integrally with the upper member 11, but the tip portion 14 of the collar portion 13 is preferably made of a soft material such as a soft synthetic resin.
In the case where the upper member 11 including 3 is made of a hard material such as a wood-based material, a distal end portion 14 made of a soft material is fixed to the distal end of the brim portion 13 by an arbitrary method such as bonding. Since at least the distal end portion 14 of the brim portion 13 is made of a soft material, the distal end portion 14 can be deformed in accordance with the unevenness of the floor material, and the gap between the distal end of the brim portion 13 and the floor material surface can be obtained. Since a gap is prevented from being formed, it is possible to prevent stumbling and dust from entering during walking, and to improve the appearance.

The upper member 11 is provided detachably with respect to the lower member 12, and as a means for making this possible, in the embodiment shown in FIG. A fitting projection 15 is provided on the rear surface side, and is fitted to a fitting recess 16 formed on the front surface side of the lower member 12 in the widthwise central portion.
It is configured to fit with. In this embodiment, two fitting projections 1 extending downward in parallel at intervals.
5, 15 and a large number of small protrusions (no reference numeral) extending in the longitudinal direction are provided on the outer surface of each fitting projection. A large number of small protrusions provided on the outer surfaces of the fitting protrusions 15, 15 are provided on the inner wall surface of the fitting recess 16 when the fitting protrusions 15, 15 are fitted to the fitting recess 16. Engagement with the small projections (no reference numeral) makes it possible to strengthen the fit between the upper member 11 and the lower member 12.

Further, two fitting protrusions 1 are formed so that the fitting protrusions are parallel.
In the case where the protrusions 5 and 15 are provided, the groove spaces 17 formed therebetween provide elasticity that allows a slight deformation in a direction in which the protrusions 15 and 15 approach each other. There is an advantage that the work when fitting the fitting 15 into the fitting recess 16 is facilitated, but it goes without saying that one fitting projection 15 may be fitted into the fitting recess 16.

The fitting projection 15 is preferably formed so as to extend in the longitudinal direction on the rear surface side of the center portion of the upper member 11 in the width direction, but may be intermittently provided at intervals. It may be provided.

The lower member 12 has a substantially U-shaped cross section and functions as a base material for fitting and integrating the upper member 11 having the brim portion 13 and serves as a base material as described above. A fitting recess 16 is provided on the front side. The fitting recess 16 is preferably formed so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the lower member 12, but the shape and configuration thereof can be any as long as the fitting projection 15 of the upper member 11 can be fitted. Optional, for example, when the fitting projection 15 is provided intermittently, the intermittent fitting recess 16 corresponding to this may be used. Further, as described above, small projections can be provided on the inner wall surface of the fitting recess 16 to engage with small projections on the outer surface of the fitting projections 15 and 15.

Further, on the bottom surface of the fitting concave portion 16, there is provided a nail groove 18 extending in the longitudinal direction which indicates a nail or screw driving position for fixing the lower member 12 to the floor substrate.
Instead of the nail groove 8, a nail hole may be provided intermittently in the longitudinal direction.

Positioning pieces 19 are provided on both side edges of the lower member 12 extending in the longitudinal direction. Positioning piece 1
Elastic materials such as a foamed synthetic resin obtained by foaming a synthetic resin such as polyester, polyurethane, or polypropylene, a synthetic resin piece formed by molding the synthetic resin, and a rubber piece formed by molding rubber or synthetic rubber are used for 9 and 19. It is fixed to a side edge of the lower member 12 with an adhesive, a double-sided tape, a screw, or the like. The positioning pieces 19, 19 may be used as long members extending over the entire length of the lower member 12 in the longitudinal direction, or may be used with a predetermined length intermittently fixed in the longitudinal direction of the lower member 12.

The positioning pieces 19, 19 are used for abutting the edges of the floor material for positioning the floor material F when the floor materials F, F are applied on the floor substrate, thereby enabling the floor material F to be applied at the beginning. The position can be easily determined, and after the construction, when the flooring material is deformed due to moisture absorption or the like and is going to expand, the positioning pieces 19, 19 made of the elastic material are deformed, so that the flooring material is stretched. It has a function of absorbing the part and preventing the floor parting material from being pushed up and the floor material from warping.

The positioning pieces 19, 19 preferably have a hardness suitable for effectively exerting the above functions. If the floor material is too soft, the floor material is positioned by positioning pieces 19,
It is deformed only by abutment with 19, and the positioning function is impaired. On the other hand, if it is too hard, it will not be able to elastically deform following the deformation of the floor material after construction, and the function of preventing the floor parting material from being pushed up and the floor material from being warped will not be sufficiently achieved.
Therefore, when the positioning pieces 19, 19 are formed of a foamed synthetic resin, it is preferable to use one having a foaming ratio of 5 to 50 times.

The method of applying the floor parting material 10 constructed as described above will be described. First, the lower member 12 is fixed on the floor base using nails, screws, adhesives, etc., and then the fixed lower member 12 is fixed. The work is performed while positioning the edges of the floor materials F, F against the positioning pieces 19, 19 provided at both ends. After the floor members F, F in the vicinity of the lower member 12 have been constructed in this way, the fitting protrusions 15, 15 of the upper member 11 are fitted into the fitting recesses 16 of the lower member 12, whereby these members 1
The floor parting material 10 is obtained by unifying the materials 1 and 12. At the time of fitting, not only the fitting protrusions 15 and 15 are fitted into the fitting recess 16 but also an adhesive may be applied to the joining surfaces of the fitting protrusions and / or the fitting recesses as necessary. Alternatively, it may be fixed using nails or screws after fitting.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show an embodiment in which the connecting member according to the present invention is configured as a sill. 3 includes a base material 21 and a pair of brim materials 22 and 22. The base member 21 is a long material, and flange receiving portions 23, 23 extending over the entire length in the length direction are formed on the upper surfaces of both side edges. Each flange receiving portion 23 has a cutout portion 24 formed by cutting out the upper surface of the side edge of the base material 21 by the thickness of the horizontal portion of the flange material 22, and a cutout at the bottom end of the bottom surface of the cutout portion 24. The groove 25 is formed.

The collar member 22 has a horizontal portion 26 having a substantially constant thickness, and a fitting projection 27 protruding downward at a deep end of the horizontal portion 26. It is mounted on the notch 24 of the portion 23 and is attached to the base 21 with the fitting projection 27 fitted in the groove 25 of the collar receiving portion 23. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal portion 26 of the brim member 22 projects outward beyond the outer surface of the brim receiving portion 23 of the base member 21, and the length of the projection is determined by the positioning piece 29 described later. Greater than the thickness.
Note that at least the tip of the fitting protrusion 27 has a size substantially equal to the inner diameter of the groove 25, but in order to make the fitting of the fitting protrusion 27 into the groove 25 firm, the fitting protrusion 27
Small protrusions (not shown) that engage with each other may be provided on the outer surface of the groove and the inner surface of the groove 25.

The horizontal portion 22 of the brim 22 has an inclined surface which is inclined downward toward the tip, and when the sill 20 is constructed adjacent to the floor, the step between the sill 20 and the floor is reduced. It is desirable to be configured to eliminate it. Furthermore, it is preferable that the tip of the horizontal portion 22 is formed of an elastic material such as a soft synthetic resin or various rubbers. Since the elastic tip portion 28 is deformed following the shape of the floor material surface, it is always in close contact with the floor material surface, thereby preventing dust from entering through the gap.

Positioning pieces 29, 29 are provided on both side edges of the base 21 extending in the longitudinal direction. Positioning piece 29,
29 is substantially the same as the positioning pieces 19, 19 provided on both side edges of the lower member 12 in the floor parting material 10 described above, and is made of a foamed synthetic resin obtained by foaming a synthetic resin such as polyester, polyurethane, polypropylene, or the like. An elastic material such as a molded synthetic resin piece, rubber or a rubber piece molded from synthetic rubber is used, and an adhesive or a double-sided tape is provided on the side edge of the base material 21 over its entire length in the longitudinal direction or intermittently. It is fixed with screws, etc., and is used to position the flooring at the time of flooring construction, and it is elastic when the flooring is deformed due to moisture absorption and stretched after construction It has the function of absorbing the elongation of the floor material by being deformed and preventing the sill material 20 from being pushed up and the floor material from warping.

On the surface of the substrate 21, two rail grooves 30,
30 is provided extending over the entire length in the longitudinal direction.
The number of rail grooves 30 is arbitrary. A door rail 31 (see FIG. 4) can be fitted into the rail groove 30.
In the configuration shown in FIG. 3, those without the rail groove 30 can be used as floor parting materials.

A method of applying the sill material 20 to the floor substrate shown in FIG. 3 will be described. First, an adhesive is applied to the back surface of the base material 21 at the place where the sill material 20 is to be installed on the floor substrate. The base material 21 is fixed to the floor substrate by driving nails or fixing screws from the outer surface of the base material 21. Next, the substrate 2
The floor material is abutted against the positioning pieces 29, 29 provided on both side edges of the work 1. The construction of the flooring material can adopt a generally used method. Positioning pieces 29, 29
Since the floor material is abutted against the side surfaces of the floor material, the troublesome positioning operation of the floor material becomes unnecessary, and the floor material can be easily constructed.

After the work is performed while positioning the flooring material as described above, the brim material 22 is attached to the brim receiving portion 23 of the fixed base material 21. The attachment of the brim member 22 is performed by fitting the fitting protrusion 27 of the brim member 22 into the groove 25 of the brim receiving part 23 as described above.
An adhesive may be applied to the joint surface in advance, or may be firmly fixed using nails or screws after fitting. As described above, the thickness of the horizontal portion 26 of the brim material 22 is
Since the cutout depth of the cutout 24 is substantially equal to the cutout depth of the cutout 24, the surface of the brim member 22 attached to the brim receiving portion 23 is substantially flush with the surface of the base material 21. Also, since the height from the upper surface of the floor base to the back surface of the horizontal portion 26 of the brim material 22 is configured to be substantially the same as the thickness of the constructed floor material,
The back surface of the horizontal portion 26 is in close contact with the surface of the flooring material without any gap, thereby preventing stumbling and dust from entering during walking.

At least at the time of factory shipment, the brim material 22 is detachable from the base material 21. Therefore, when the brim material 22 is fitted to the base material 21 and packed, the After being separated, the base material 21 is fixed on the floor base as described above, and after the floor material is butt-bonded, the brim material 22 can be attached to the base material 21 again. After fitting the brim 22 to the base material 21 after the floor material is applied, it is not always necessary to make the brim 22 detachable, so that the brim 22 is formed by using an adhesive, a nail or a screw as described above.
May be fixed to the substrate 21.

The brim material 22 and the brim receiving portion 2 shown in FIG.
3 is only an example, and for example, may be configured as shown in FIG. The brim material 22 shown in FIG.
6 is provided with a fitting projection 27 protruding downward at the rear end portion, and the fitting projection 27 is configured to fit into the groove 25 of the collar receiving portion 23, as shown in FIG. Collar 22
a further has a pressing piece 32 protruding downward from the substantially central rear surface side of the horizontal portion 26, and correspondingly, the pressing piece 32 presses the side edge surface side of the brim receiving portion 23 of the base material 21. The protrusions 33 are formed between the groove 25 and the groove 25 by notching by the thickness of. With such a configuration,
The brim material 22 not only fits the fitting projection 27 into the groove 25, but also forms the base material 21 between the fitting part 27 and the holding piece 32.
Are fitted together, the fitting state of the two becomes stronger, and even when a force is applied to the tip of the brim member 22, the fitting protrusion 27 is lifted up. The brim material 22 does not come off from the base material 21.

Although the concrete construction and operation of the floor parting material 10 and the sill material 20 have been described above as embodiments of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to these, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Various configurations are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, in a joiner for connecting a wall material and a ceiling material, an elastic positioning piece is provided on a longitudinal side edge of the base material, and a brim material extending outward from the base material over its entire length in the longitudinal direction is detachable. May be provided. In such a configuration, similarly to the above-described floor parting material and sill material, positioning can be easily performed by the positioning piece when the wall material and the ceiling material are butt-jointed, and the gap between the butt portions of these plate materials is sharpened. By concealing with a material, it is possible to prevent dust from entering the gap, and furthermore, it is possible to exhibit a buffer function of preventing waving due to deformation of the plate material after construction.

[0036]

According to the connecting member of the present invention, since the positioning piece made of the elastic material is provided at the portion where the plate material such as the floor material abuts, the butting work of the plate material is easy and the plate material can be easily used. Even when deformed due to moisture absorption or the like, the deformation can be absorbed by the elastic deformation of the positioning piece, so that the floating of the connecting member and the mountain-shaped warpage generated in the plate material itself are effectively prevented.

The brim material provided on the side edge of the base material protrudes outward to conceal the butted portion with the plate material, so that a good-looking construction state can be obtained, and the gap generated at the butted portion causes the pinching during walking. And dust is prevented from entering the gap.
