As a structure for laying the deck material, there is a technique described in, for example, JP-A-11-229486. In this technique, a connecting member is arranged at a joint portion between adjacent deck members, and the deck member and the connecting member are connected by male and female engagement. Therefore, in the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-229486, a connecting member is also required to lay the deck material, and since the deck material and the connecting member are engaged with each other, these deck materials and The shape of the connecting member was relatively complicated. Therefore, there has been a demand for a technique that uses a deck material having a simple shape and that can easily connect the deck materials. One example of this is the technique shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b). In this technique, a plurality of deck members 15 are attached to a floor unit main body in which the long deck members 15 are arranged with their side surfaces abutting each other, and the long members 16 are assembled in a rectangular shape from the back surface thereof.

It was difficult.
Also, in the connection between the deck materials 15, 15,
The long member 16 is screwed from the back of the floor unit body
The work had to be troublesome, because it had to be attached at any time with nails and nails. Further, the deck material 15
Since the elongate member 16 is fixed by being attached to the back surface, in order to change the size of the unit-type flooring 17, the elongate member 16 corresponding to the size must be prepared as appropriate. The size of the unit flooring 17 could not be easily changed. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can easily change the size while easily connecting floor materials (deck materials) with each other.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a unit-type floor material that can be reliably laid on a floor surface, a method of manufacturing the floor material, and a laying structure of the unit-type floor material.

The floor member 10 is formed by a side plate 10 of the floor member 10.
Since a plurality of b and 10b are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval so as to face each other, a gap 10c is formed between the side plates 10b and 10b of the floor material 10. Therefore, since rainwater or the like flows through the gap 10c, drainage is improved and air permeability is also improved.

At both ends of the lower surface of the floor material 10 in the width direction, legs 11 which are parallel to each other along the longitudinal direction of the floor material 10 and are formed continuously with the floor material 10 are provided. As a result, a gap is formed between the floor surface 2 and the center of the lower surface of the floor material 10, and rainwater or the like flows through the gap, so that drainage is improved and air permeability is improved.

Further, the hollow members 9 are formed by extruding hollow members 12 provided in at least two rows in parallel, and then the hollow members 12 are divided into at least one cavity 9 in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, unlike the related art, the leg 11 can be easily formed without driving the long member 16 into the back surface of the floor material (deck material 15) with a screw 18 or a nail. Furthermore, since a plurality of the floor members 10 can be formed at one time, the production efficiency is high and the cost can be reduced.
