DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an end-end structure of a floor material laid on a floor surface such as a balcony and an end-end member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the number of families who enjoy gardening by laying synthetic resin flooring on a floor surface such as a balcony and placing potted plants or outdoor tables on the flooring has increased.

[0003] Many flooring materials laid on the floor surface of a balcony or the like have a tile-like or natural wood-like decorative surface material mounted on a base material, and the overall thickness is large. When partially laid on the floor, there is a problem that a large step is generated between the floor and the surface of the floor material, so that pedestrians are likely to stumble, and there is also a problem that the appearance is not good.

[0004] As a means for solving such a problem, for example, there is known a technique of trimming a flooring material disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-30020. In this end closing technique, an engaging protrusion is formed on two adjacent sides of a flooring material, and a U-shaped engaging portion is protrudingly provided on the other two sides. A floor material of a type laid while being engaged with and connected to a part is closed. That is, as an end closing member, an engagement protrusion identical to the engagement protrusion of the floor material is formed at one end of the frame portion having substantially the same height as the floor material, and a U-shaped engagement of the floor material is formed at the opposite end. A connecting member formed by projecting the same U-shaped engaging portion as the portion and a cover member formed by projecting a horizontal covering plate from the tip of a slope portion having an inclined upper surface are used, and the engaging protrusion of the floor material is used. Is connected to the U-shaped engaging portion of the connecting member, or the connecting member is attached to the floor member by engaging the engaging protrusion of the connecting member with the U-shaped engaging portion of the floor member. The cover material is attached by attaching a horizontal cover plate of the cover material to the frame-shaped portion of the connection material, and the end of the floor material is performed.

[0005] In such an end closing structure, the slope of the cover material eliminates the step at the edge of the floor material, so that the possibility of a tripping during walking is eliminated, and the appearance of the edge of the floor material is improved.

[0006]

However, as described above, the cover is formed via a connecting member having an engagement projection formed at one end of the frame-shaped portion and a U-shaped engagement portion projected at the opposite end. In the end-closing structure where the flooring material is installed, the frame width of the connecting material is interposed between the edge of the flooring material and the slope part of the cover material, so that the width of the protrusion from the flooring material edge is limited. Get bigger,
When the space around the floor material is small, there is a problem that the construction becomes difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to address the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object to provide an end-finished structure of a flooring material which can be easily constructed even when a surrounding space is small due to a small width of an output. An object of the present invention is to provide an end member used for the same.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, there is provided a floor end structure in which a slope material is connected to at least one side of the floor material via a connecting material.

It has a hollow structure, and the height of the front end side with the connecting legs is substantially the same as the height of the floor material, and the upper surface is inclined so as to decrease from the front end side to the rear end side. ,
The connecting member has a dual-purpose hole into which both the male leg and the female leg of the floor material can be inserted, and a hole through which the connecting leg for the slope material can be inserted. A male leg or a female leg of the floor material is inserted into the combined hole of the material,
The connecting leg of the slope material is inserted into the hole of the connecting material,
The slope member is connected in a state where the connecting member is substantially accommodated therein.

[0009] In this end trimming structure of the floor material, since the slope member is connected to the end portion of the floor material via the connecting member, the end material of the floor material is formed by the slope material similarly to the conventional end trimming structure. The step is eliminated, so that the fear of tripping when walking is eliminated, and the appearance of the floor material end is improved. Moreover, the connecting member is attached so that the male or female leg of the floor member is inserted into the combined hole so as not to protrude greatly from the end of the floor member, and the connecting member is substantially connected to the slope member. Since the slope material is connected to the floor material without any gap in a state of being housed inside the floor material, the width of the protrusion from the floor material end portion is reduced, and the construction can be easily performed even when the surrounding space is narrow.

[0010] Further, according to a second embodiment of the present invention, a male member is formed on two adjacent sides.
A female leg having a male leg receiving portion is a member used for finishing the floor material formed on the other two sides, has a hollow structure having at least a lower end opened, and has a front end side provided with a connecting leg. Slope material whose height is substantially the same as the height of the floor material and whose upper surface is inclined so as to decrease from the front end side to the rear end side, and both male and female legs of the floor material can be inserted. And a connecting member having a hole into which a connecting leg of the slope material can be inserted, and having a size that can be substantially accommodated inside the slope material. Things.

[0011] In the end closing member composed of such a slope member and a connecting member, the male leg or the female leg of the floor member is inserted into the combined hole of the connecting member so that the connecting member protrudes greatly from the end of the floor member. The slope material is inserted into the hole of the connecting material, and the slope material is connected to the floor material without any gap in a state where the connecting material is substantially accommodated inside the slope material. By the end of the flooring,
The operation and effect described in the end closing structure are provided.
