Description

The present invention is mainly used to eliminate a level difference between an end surface of an existing floor material and the existing floor surface and make it barrier-free when a new floor material is laid on the existing floor surface. It relates to slope materials.

For example, if the existing floor is made of tiles and a new wooden floor is laid on top of it, the new floor will be placed between the end of the new floor and the existing floor. A step corresponding to the thickness of the film will be generated. For the purpose of eliminating this level difference and making it barrier-free, a slope material is used on the existing floor surface in a state of being brought into contact with the end surface of the new floor material. According to this, since it becomes possible to go back and forth between the existing floor surface and the floor surface by the newly installed floor material with a gentle slope surface of the slope material, it is possible to prevent tripping and ensure safety during walking and Driving is possible.

However, even if a commercially available slope material is used, if the height does not match the level difference of the step, the step cannot be completely eliminated, and the end surface of the slope material and the end surface of the new floor material There will be a slight step between them. Even such a small step is dangerous for elderly people and infants because it hinders walking and makes it difficult to run a wheelchair. In order to solve this, a dedicated slope material having a dimension corresponding to the difference in level of the step must be produced, which takes time and inevitably increases the cost.

In such a background, in Patent Document 1, a plurality of adjustment plates (divided bodies 2 and 3) having a triangular cross-section main body (divided body 1) and a tip surface inclined at the same angle as the upper surface of the main body are disclosed. By preparing and connecting and laminating an arbitrary number of arbitrary adjustment plates below the main body through fitting of the convex portions (protruding portions 23, 33) and concave portions (concave portions 12, 22, 32), A slope material that can be adjusted in height is disclosed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-14080

However, according to the prior art described in Patent Document 1, the connection between the main body and the adjustment plate and the connection between the adjustment plates are performed through the fitting between the convex portion and the concave portion, and the connection is easily removed through the fitting. In order to firmly connect the projections and the recesses, the protrusions and the recesses are required to have a certain size. Therefore, the main body and the adjustment plate in which the recesses are formed on the lower surface are required to have a certain thickness. . For this reason, even if the height adjustment is performed by combining the main body and the adjustment plate, it must be a combination of those having a large thickness, and as a result, the total thickness of any combination can be reduced to the floor. It is difficult to perfectly match the height of the material and still produce a small step.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel slope material that can eliminate the disadvantages and disadvantages of the prior art. Specifically, it is laid on the floor surface and the floor surface. It is to provide a novel slope material configured to change the dimension (height) according to the height difference of the level difference between the floor material and the floor material and to eliminate the level difference.

In order to solve this problem, the present invention according to claim 1 is a slope material used to eliminate a step between a floor material and a floor surface, and a main body having a substantially triangular section having an inclined surface. The adjustment member is attached to an attachment portion formed at the rear of the main body so as to be movable up and down.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the slope material according to the first aspect, the attachment portion of the main body has a main body side fitting portion, and the adjustment member protrudes below the surface portion and the surface portion. And the adjustment member can be moved up and down with respect to the main body in a state where the adjustment member side fitting portion is fitted to the main body side fitting portion. In this state, the front end edge of the surface portion of the adjusting member is provided at a position substantially the same as or lower than the rear end edge of the inclined surface of the main body.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the slope material according to the first or second aspect, the rear surface portion of the adjustment member protrudes rearward from the rear end surface of the main body in a state where the adjustment member is attached to the main body. It is arrange | positioned so that the flooring surface of the end side may be covered.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the adjustment member is attached to the main body so as to be movable up and down, the adjustment member can be used corresponding to the height (step) of the flooring, and used when renovating. Different thickness flooring can be accommodated. Therefore, if one slope material consisting of the main body and the adjustment member is prepared, it can be shared even if the level difference between the flooring and the floor is different, and the level difference is substantially eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the elderly and infants from walking, and the wheelchair can be safely run.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a suitable configuration for attaching the adjustment member to the main body so as to be vertically movable is provided. According to this configuration, when walking from the inclined surface of the main body to the adjustment member, it is transferred to substantially the same surface or a slightly lower position, so that it is possible to prevent tripping during walking or wheelchair running and to be safe. The effect which improves property is exhibited more notably.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the rear surface portion of the adjusting member is arranged so as to protrude from the rear end surface of the main body and come into contact with the floor material surface in the attached state, so that it can be moved up and down with respect to the main body. The height position of the adjusting member can be defined. Further, even if a gap is generated between the floor lug surface and the rear end surface of the main body, the gap is concealed by the rear portion of the surface portion, so that dust can be prevented from entering.

Hereinafter, the slope material of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to some examples with reference to the accompanying drawings.

With particular reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the slope member 10 according to this embodiment is composed of two members, a main body 20 and an adjustment member 30. Both the main body 20 and the adjusting member 30 are formed from materials such as wood, synthetic resin, natural rubber, and synthetic rubber, and the materials are not particularly limited. Further, the main body 20 and the adjustment member 30 may be formed of the same material or different materials. The main body 20 and the adjustment member 30 are both long members that are long in the direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG.

First, the adjustment member 30 will be described. The adjustment member 30 has a surface portion 31 and an attachment portion 32. The surface portion 31 has a substantially flat plate shape, and includes a central surface portion 312 having a central upper surface 311, a front surface portion 314 having a front inclined surface 313, and a rear surface portion 316 having a rear inclined surface 315. The central upper surface 311 is formed as a gently inclined surface such that the rear side is slightly higher than the front side (as employed in this embodiment) with the adjustment member 30 attached to the main body 20. The front inclined surface 313 is formed as an inclined surface that gradually increases from the front end toward the central upper surface 311, and the rear inclined surface 315 is formed as an inclined surface that gradually decreases from the central upper surface 311. The inclination angles of the front inclined surface 313 and the rear inclined surface 315 may be the same or different. When the central upper surface 311 is formed as an inclined surface, the inclination angle of the front inclined surface 313 is generally larger than the inclination angle.

Although not shown, it is preferable that uneven surfaces for preventing slip are formed on the surface of the surface portion 31, that is, on the front inclined surface 313, the central upper surface 311 and the rear inclined surface 315. An antiskid sheet, an antiskid tape, etc. may be stuck instead of forming an uneven part, or using together with this.

A notch 317 is formed on the lower surface of the rear surface portion 316. When the adjustment member 30 is attached to the main body 20 and used as the slope member 10, the corner portion between the floor surface 3 and the surface 4 of the floor material is abutted against the notch 317. The adjustment member 30 is prevented from shifting backward when walking on the member 30. The surface of the rear surface portion 316 is formed as a gentle inclined surface that gradually decreases from the substantially horizontal plane or the central surface portion 312 side toward the rear end. When the sloped surface is the latter, when the slope member 10 is attached, the lower surface of the rear surface portion 316 is horizontal in a state of being in strong contact with the floor material surface. It becomes difficult to produce a gap between them. This will be described later with an example. The rear surface portion 316 is preferably formed of a soft material, and when the adjustment member 30 is formed of wood or the like, it is preferable to attach the soft material to the rear end portion to form the rear surface portion 316.

The attachment portion 32 of the adjustment member 30 in this embodiment is formed as a fitting convex portion 321 that protrudes vertically downward from the lower surface 318 of the surface portion 31 and is formed in a solid shape or a hollow shape. The fitting convex part 321 is fitted to a fitting concave part 254 (described later) of the main body 20 so as to be movable up and down, and therefore, an outer diameter shape and an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter shape and the inner diameter dimension of the fitting concave part 254. Have dimensions. In order to facilitate the insertion into the fitting recess 254, the front end edge of the fitting protrusion 321 is chamfered 327. In addition, a plurality of protrusions 322 having a triangular cross section are formed on at least the front and rear side surfaces of the fitting convex portion 321. When the adjustment member 30 is combined with the main body 20, the protrusion 322 causes a frictional resistance between the front and rear side surfaces of the fitting convex portion 321 and the front and rear side surfaces 255 of the fitting concave portion 254 of the main body 20. After moving to a predetermined height position, the height can be maintained.

This fitting convex part 321 may be formed as a long member continuous in the longitudinal direction of the adjusting member 30, or may be provided with a plurality of fitting convex parts 321 intermittently in the longitudinal direction. Further, a plurality of rows of fitting protrusions 32 may be provided in the short direction (the left and right directions in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the adjustment member 30 so as to be fitted into the fitting recesses 254 formed in the main body 20. . Further, instead of providing the protrusion 322 to provide frictional resistance, the fitting convex portion 321 itself is formed of an elastic material or a soft material, or the periphery of the fitting convex portion 321 is formed of an elastic material or a soft material. As a covered configuration, the frictional resistance may be given by forming the front and rear width of the fitting convex portion 321 slightly larger than the front and rear width of the fitting concave portion 254 of the main body 20.

As an example, the dimensions of the adjusting member 30 in this embodiment are 5 mm for the horizontal length of the lower surface of the front surface portion 314 (left and right direction in the figure, the same applies hereinafter), 10 mm for the horizontal length of the lower surface of the central surface portion 312, The horizontal length of the lower surface of the side surface portion 316 is 7 mm, the horizontal length of the entire surface portion 31 is 22 mm, and the height of the front edge of the front surface portion 314 (vertical direction in the figure, the same applies hereinafter) is 2.1 mm. The height of the rear end edge of the rear surface portion 316 is 0.8 mm, and the height of the mounting portion 32 (the dimension from the surface portion lower surface 318 to the lower surface of the fitting convex portion 321) is 6.8 mm. is there.

Next, the main body 20 will be described. The main body 20 is a solid or hollow elongated body having a substantially triangular cross section, and has a horizontal lower surface 23 continuous from the front end portion 21 to the rear end surface 22 and gradually increases from the front end portion 21 toward the rear side. And an attachment portion 25 formed on the upper surface side between the inclined surface 24 and the rear end surface 22. Anti-slip irregularities are formed on the inclined surface 24, or instead of or in combination with this, an anti-slip sheet, anti-slip tape, or the like is attached (not shown).

The front end portion 21 is a portion connecting the lower surface 23 and the inclined surface 24 on the front end side of the main body 20 and is a substantially vertical flat surface in the illustrated embodiment, but may be an inclined surface or a curved surface. The height of the tip 21 is high enough not to be easily damaged during transportation and construction, and it does not become excessively thick so as not to interfere with walking or running in a wheelchair in use. It is preferable to set appropriately. In addition, when the tip portion from the inclined surface 24 to the tip portion 21 is inclined at a slightly steep inclination angle than the inclined surface 24 as shown in the figure, or gently curved downward (not shown), the height of the tip portion 21 is increased. Since the thickness can be lowered, a preferable shape excellent in the effect of preventing tripping is obtained. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower surface 23 of the main body 20 is shown as a horizontal plane up to the tip portion 21, but the bottom surface of the tip portion 21 is strongly brought into contact with the floor surface in a state where the lower surface is horizontally deformed. A shape that makes it difficult to form a gap between the main body 20 and the main body 20 may be adopted. This will be described later with an example.

The mounting portion 25 includes a stepped portion 253 formed by a stepped portion side surface 251 cut out substantially perpendicularly from the rear end of the inclined surface 24 and a substantially horizontal stepped portion bottom surface 252 extending rearward from the lower end of the stepped portion side surface 251. And a fitting recess 254 formed further rearward of the stepped portion 253. The fitting recess 254 fits the fitting projection 321 of the adjustment member 30 so as to be movable up and down, and has a shape and a dimension that enable this. When one fitting convex part 321 is formed continuously in the longitudinal direction, the fitting concave part 254 is similarly formed as one fitting concave part 254 that is continuous in the longitudinal direction. When a plurality of fitting convex portions 321 are formed intermittently in the longitudinal direction, a plurality of fitting concave portions 254 are formed at corresponding locations, and one fitting convex portion 321 is fitted into one fitting concave portion 254. You may make it match | combine, you may make it form one fitting recessed part 254 continuous in a longitudinal direction, and may fit the some fitting convex part 321 here.

In the illustrated embodiment, protrusions 322 are provided on the front and rear side surfaces of the fitting convex portion 321 so as to give a frictional resistance for maintaining the height position of the fitting convex portion 321 fitted to the fitting concave portion 254. However, instead of this or in combination with this, protrusions may be provided on the front and rear side surfaces 255 of the fitting recess 254 (not shown).

The depth of the step portion 253 (the height of the step portion side surface 251) is formed to be approximately the same as the thickness (maximum thickness) of the surface portion 31 of the adjustment member 30, and the fitting convex portion 321 is fitted to the main body 20. The surface portion 31 is accommodated in the stepped portion 253 in a state of being fitted in the mating recess 254. The stepped portion bottom surface 252 and the rear end portion upper surface 256 are horizontal surfaces having substantially the same height, and can contact the surface portion lower surface 318 of the adjustment member 30. Further, in order to facilitate the insertion of the fitting convex portion 321, a chamfer 257 is applied to a corner portion between the front and rear side surfaces 255 of the fitting concave portion 254 and the step bottom surface 252 and the rear end upper surface 256. .

The dimension of each part of the main body 20 is determined according to the dimension of each part of the adjustment member 30. In this embodiment, when each part of the adjustment member 30 has the above-described dimensions, as an example, the length of the step portion 253 (the length of the step portion bottom surface 252) and the height (the height of the step portion side surface 251) are obtained. 5 mm and 3.4 mm, respectively, the length and height of the fitting recess 254 are 5 mm and 7.2 mm, respectively, and the length of the rear end upper surface 256 is 5 mm.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a use state when the main body 20 and the adjustment member 30 are combined and used as the slope material 10. The slope member 10 is combined with the adjustment member 30 attached to the attachment portion 25 of the main body 20, more specifically, by fitting the fitting convex portion 321 of the adjustment member 30 into the fitting concave portion 254 of the main body 20. The lower surface 23 of the main body 20 is constructed on the floor surface 1, the rear end surface 22 of the main body 20 is abutted against the wooden surface 3 of the flooring 2, and the rear surface portion 316 of the adjusting member 30 is connected to the wooden surface 3. It is constructed so as to cover the surface 4 of the nearby flooring.

Although the construction of the slope material 10 will be described in detail below, not only the slope material 10 according to this embodiment but also various slope materials 10 according to other embodiments described later are similarly constructed. Also, it should be understood that the following construction methods are examples and are not intended to exclude other construction methods.

After fixing floor material 2 (new floor material laid on existing floor material in the case of renovation) to floor surface 1 (floor surface using existing floor material in the case of renovation), it is placed on floor lug 3 The main body 20 is fixed in a state where the rear end face 22 of the main body 20 is abutted. If the main body 20 is formed of a material that expands due to temperature changes, such as wood or metal, it may be installed with a slight gap corresponding to the extension between the floor lug 3 and the rear end surface 22 of the main body. good. The main body 20 is fixed to the floor surface 1 when the floor surface 1 is made of concrete or the like and cannot be fixed with nails, screws, staples, etc., only with an adhesive, and when the floor surface 1 is made of wood or the like, it is bonded. Fix it with nail, screw, staple, etc. in combination, or fix with adhesive alone. When a fixing material such as a nail, a screw, or a staple is used to fix the main body 20, it is driven into the bottom surface of the fitting recess 254 of the main body 20 (see the staple 7 in FIG. 13). In the use state in which the mounting portion 32 (fitting convex portion 321) is fitted, it is hidden and cannot be seen, and the appearance is not impaired.

Next, after the adhesive is applied to the inner surface (particularly the bottom surface), the stepped bottom surface 252 and the rear end upper surface 256 of the fitting recess 254 of the main body 20, the adjustment member 30 is fitted into the fitting recess 254, and the notch The height is adjusted so that the lower surface of 317 is in close contact with the floor material surface 4, and the slope material 10 is installed. Instead of or in combination with applying an adhesive on the main body 20 side, surfaces corresponding to these surfaces on the adjustment member 30 side (the outer surface (particularly the bottom surface) of the fitting convex portion 321, the front surface portion 316). The lower surface 318 and the lower surface of the central surface portion 312) may be coated with an adhesive.

Since the adjustment member 30 is attached by adjusting the height so that the lower surface of the notch 317 is in close contact with the floor material surface 4, depending on the height of the floor material surface 4 to which the slope material 10 is attached, the main body 20 and the adjustment member A gap is generated between the terminal 30 and the terminal 30. More specifically, the gap is between the step bottom surface 252 of the main body 20 and the lower surface of the front surface portion 314 of the adjustment member 30, the bottom surface of the fitting concave portion 254 of the main body 20, and the fitting convex portion 321 of the adjustment member 30. It occurs between the bottom surface and the rear end upper surface 256 of the main body 20 and the lower surface of the central surface portion 312 of the adjustment member 30. These gaps are filled with an adhesive, and the adjustment member 30 is bonded and fixed to the main body 20, and the adhesive is solidified, so that the shape of the adjustment member 30 can be obtained even when the adjustment member 30 is stepped on. Further, the height can be maintained, and the adjustment member 30 is prevented from being damaged. When connecting a plurality of slope members 10 in the lateral direction, the main body 20 and the adjustment member 30 are fixed to each other by an adhesive.

A urethane-based adhesive or the like can be used as the adhesive. If only urethane adhesive is used, it takes time to solidify and the slope material 10 may float or peel off due to weak initial adhesive strength. It is preferable to use an adhesive in combination and use an instantaneous adhesive at least at the tip portion 21 of the slope material 10 where it is likely to be lifted or peeled to supplement the adhesive strength until the urethane adhesive or the like is solidified. .

Since the adjustment member 30 can move in the vertical direction within the range of the fitting length in which the fitting convex part 321 is fitted into the fitting concave part 254, the step between the floor surface 1 and the floor material surface 4. It can be installed according to the height. Further, in this installed state, a slope surface substantially continuous with the inclined surface 24 of the main body 20 is formed on the rear end side of the slope material 10, so that when walking or running a wheelchair, the floor material 1 is passed through the slope material 10. And can smoothly ride on the flooring surface 4. Further, since the floor material surface 4 near the mouth end surface 3 is covered with the rear surface portion 316 of the adjustment member 30, even if there is a gap between the main body 20 and the floor material mouth end surface 3, the gap is concealed, You can prevent garbage from entering. In this installed state, a state where the corner portion between the front end surface 3 and the surface 4 of the flooring 2 hits the step surface 319 (FIG. 2A) between the notch 317 and the lower surface 318 of the adjustment member 30. Therefore, even when a load is applied by walking on the adjustment member 30 or the like, the fitting state of the adjustment member 30 is stably maintained and is prevented from coming off. The step surface 319 is formed as a vertical surface that is flush with the rear end surface 22 of the main body 20 when the adjustment member 30 is attached to the main body 20.

The slope material 10 can be shared for floor materials having different heights. This point will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4A shows a state in which the slope material 10 is used to eliminate the step of the floor material 1 having the maximum thickness (for example, 13 mm thickness) that can be handled. At this time, the front end edge of the front inclined surface 313 of the front surface portion 314 of the adjustment member 30 attached to the main body 20 through the fitting of the fitting convex portion 321 and the fitting concave portion 254 is the rear end of the main body inclined surface 24. Provides a substantially continuous slope surface that is substantially flush with the edges and without any step between them, and further provides a walking surface that leads to the central upper surface 311 and the rear surface 316 of the adjustment member 30. Therefore, tripping during walking or wheelchair traveling can be prevented. In this state, the fitting convex portion 321 of the adjustment member 30 is at the height position where the fitting convex portion 321 of the main body 20 is fitted to the middle, but the front and rear side surfaces of the fitting convex portion 321 and / or the fitting concave portion 254 The height position can be held by the protrusion 322 formed on the adjustment member 30 even when a load is applied to the adjustment member 30. Further, an adhesive (not shown) applied to the attachment portion 25 (the step bottom surface 252, the inner surface of the fitting recess 254, the rear end upper surface 256, etc.) when the adjustment member 32 is attached is stepped on the surface portion lower surface 318. The gap 11 between the bottom surface 252, the gap 12 between the bottom surface of the fitting convex portion 321 and the bottom surface of the fitting concave portion 254, and the gap 13 between the bottom surface 318 of the surface portion and the top surface 256 of the rear end portion are filled. Therefore, the height position can be held immobile.

FIG. 4B shows a state in which the slope material 10 is used to eliminate a step of the floor material 1 having an intermediate thickness (for example, 12 mm thickness). At this time, the front end edge of the front inclined surface 313 of the front surface portion 314 of the adjustment member 30 attached to the main body 20 through the fitting of the fitting convex portion 321 and the fitting concave portion 254 is the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24. A slightly lower level (1 mm) is formed between the lower and lower positions. However, when a person walks, he or she walks on the slope material 10 from the floor surface 1 toward the floor material surface 4. When walking down (when walking on the slope material 10 from the floor material surface 4 toward the floor surface 1), since the toe walks slightly upward, the level difference is not tripped. At this time, since the central upper surface 311 is located higher than the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24, a slope surface that gradually increases from the main body inclined surface 24 is provided even if there is a slight step. Therefore, in many cases, it is possible to walk smoothly without being distracted by the steps. It will not interfere with wheelchair travel.

FIG.4 (c) shows the state used in order to eliminate the level | step difference of the floor material 1 of the minimum thickness (for example, 11.5 mm thickness) which this slope material 10 can respond | correspond. At this time, the front end edge of the front inclined surface 313 of the front surface portion 314 of the adjustment member 30 attached to the main body 20 through the fitting of the fitting convex portion 321 and the fitting concave portion 254 is the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24. A slightly lower level (1.5 mm) is formed between them at a slightly lower position. When a person walks, the slope material 10 is moved from the floor surface 1 toward the floor material surface 4. When walking down (when walking on the slope material 10 from the floor material surface 4 toward the floor surface 1), since the toe walks slightly upward, this level of step is not tripped. At this time, since the central upper surface 311 is substantially at the same height as the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24, a slope surface substantially continuous from the main body inclined surface 24 is provided even if there is a slight step. Therefore, in many cases, it is possible to walk smoothly without being distracted by the steps. It will not interfere with wheelchair travel.

As described above, in the case of FIG. 4A, the front end edge of the front inclined surface 313 and the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24 are “substantially the same height”, and FIG. ), It is preferable that the central upper surface 311 and the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24 are “substantially the same height”, but this “substantially the same height” is exactly the same. It is not intended to be height, but is intended to allow a certain amount of deviation (step). In other words, in the “Act on the Promotion of Facilitation of Movement of Persons with Disabilities, Elderly People, etc.” (so-called barrier-free new law), a height difference of 5 mm or less in the construction state is treated as no difference in height, and a step that does not hinder walking Therefore, even if there is a step of ± 5 mm between the front end edge of the front inclined surface 313 and the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24, these are “substantially the same height”. More preferably, the step between the front end edge of the front inclined surface 313 and the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24 is within a range of ± 0.5 mm. That is, it is inevitable that a slight deviation occurs due to the situation of the floor surface 1 on which the main body 20 is installed (flatness, etc.), the influence of expansion and contraction when the main body 20 and / or the adjustment member 30 are made of wood in particular. However, if the deviation is about ± 0.5 mm, it is a very small step with respect to the size of the toes, and there is almost no possibility that the toes will be caught during walking. This means that the slope material 10 can be used for a floor material that is about 0.5 mm thicker than the floor material (thickness 13 mm) that is the maximum thickness that can be handled in FIG. It suggests. If such a slope material 10 is used, even if consideration is given to the fluctuation factors during construction and after construction, a step that is significantly lower than the standard value (± 5 mm) in the new barrier-free method can be easily obtained, and safety during walking Can be ensured to the maximum.

The horizontal distance from the rear end edge of the front inclined surface 313 to the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24 is preferably within 20 mm. If this horizontal distance is within 20 mm, even if there is a step between the front edge of the front inclined surface 313 and the rear edge of the main body inclined surface 24 as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, When walking from the adjustment member 30 to the main body inclined surface 24, the tip of the toe is unlikely to enter the stepped portion, and is not caught by the step and tripped on the stepped portion. When the surface of the front surface portion 314 is formed as an inclined surface (front inclined surface 313), the processing is difficult unless the horizontal distance from the front end edge to the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24 is 0.5 mm or more. Therefore, the practical lower limit of the horizontal distance is 0.5 mm.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a configuration different from the first embodiment is adopted as a specific configuration for attaching the adjustment member 30 to the main body 20. In this embodiment, elements / portions that are the same as or correspond to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. Unless otherwise specified, the configuration, action, construction, and the like are the same as in Example 1 (the same applies to the following examples).

In this embodiment, the mounting portion 25 formed on the upper surface side between the inclined surface 24 and the rear end surface 22 of the main body 20 is cut out substantially perpendicularly from the rear end of the inclined surface 24 as in the first embodiment. Although it has the step part 253 formed by the step part side surface 251 and the substantially horizontal step part bottom face 252 which goes back from the lower end of this step part side surface 251, it differs from Example 1 in the back of the step part 253 further. Thus, a front fitting concave portion 261, a fitting convex portion 262, and a rear notch portion 263 are formed. On the other hand, the surface portion 31 of the adjustment member 30 has the same surface shape as that of the first embodiment, but the front fitting convex portion 323, the fitting concave portion 324, and the rear fitting convex portion 325 are formed on the lower surface thereof.

And the front fitting convex part 323 of the adjustment member 30 is fitted into the front fitting concave part 261 of the main body 20, the fitting convex part 262 of the main body 20 is fitted into the fitting concave part 324 of the adjustment member 30, and the adjustment member The adjusting member 30 is attached to the main body 20 by accommodating the rear fitting convex portion 325 of the 30 in the rear notch 263 of the main body 20. Each of these parts is formed in a shape and a dimension so as to obtain the above state.

The slope material 10 according to this embodiment can also be used in the same manner as the slope material 10 according to the first embodiment, and can be shared for floor materials having different heights (see FIG. 4). FIG. 5 shows a state in which the slope material 10 is used to eliminate the level difference of the floor material 1 having the minimum thickness, and the front edge of the front inclined surface 313 of the adjustment member 30 and the main body inclined surface. Although a slight level difference is generated between the rear end edge of 24 and this level, as described above, this level of level difference does not interfere with walking or wheelchair running. At this time, the central upper surface 311 of the adjustment member 30 and the rear end edge of the main body inclined surface 24 are positioned at “substantially the same height”. When this slope material 10 is used to eliminate the level difference of the maximum thickness floor material 1 that can be accommodated, the front edge of the front inclined surface 313 of the adjustment member 30 and the rear edge of the main body inclined surface 24 are “ It becomes “substantially the same height” to prevent tripping during walking. “Substantially the same height” is as described in detail in the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, the rear side surface 326 of the rear fitting convex portion 325 of the adjustment member 30 is formed as a vertical surface that is flush with the rear end surface 22 of the main body 20 when the adjustment member 30 is attached to the main body 20. Then, the rear side surfaces 22 and 326 are applied to the floor surface 3 of the flooring 2 while being abutted.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a configuration further different from the first and second embodiments is adopted as a specific configuration for attaching the adjustment member 30 to the main body 20. In this embodiment, the attachment portion 25 formed on the upper surface side between the inclined surface 24 and the rear end surface 22 of the main body 20 includes a fitting recess 264 formed in the front and a fitting protrusion formed in the rear thereof. Part 265. On the other hand, the surface portion 31 of the adjustment member 30 has the same surface shape as in the first and second embodiments, but on the lower surface thereof, a fitting convex portion 327 is formed on the front side, and a notch portion 328 is formed on the rear side. Has been. Then, the fitting convex portion 327 of the adjustment member 30 is fitted into the fitting concave portion 264 of the main body 20, and the fitting convex portion 265 of the main body 20 is accommodated in the notch portion 328 of the adjusting member 30, whereby the adjustment member 30. Is attached to the main body 20. Each of these parts is formed in a shape and a dimension so as to obtain the above state.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is a modification of the first embodiment, and prevents slipping on the inclined surface 24 of the main body 20 and the upper surfaces (front surface 314, central upper surface 311 and rear surface 315) of the adjustment member 30, respectively. Concavities and convexities 241 and 33 are formed, and a plurality of recesses 231 are intermittently formed on the lower surface 23 of the main body. The magnitude | size of the unevenness | corrugations 241 and 33 will not be specifically limited if it does not interfere with walking or wheelchair running. As described above, an anti-slip effect may be given by attaching an anti-slip sheet or anti-slip tape instead of or in combination with the formation of the irregularities 241 and 33. The concave portion 231 formed on the lower surface 23 of the main body provides a space for an adhesive used when the main body 20 is fixed to the floor surface 1 and can be fixed more firmly.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is a modification of the first embodiment, in which the notch 317 is not formed in the adjustment member 30, and the lower surface 312a of the central surface portion 312 extends to the rear end 312b as it is (FIG. 9). 9 (a)). FIG. 9 (b) shows a use state when this is combined with the main body 20 and used as the slope material 10, and the construction is made such that the lower surface 312 a extending to the rear end covers the floor material surface 4 near the end 3. Is done.

As already described with respect to the first embodiment, when the lower surface of the rear surface portion 316 is horizontally in a state of being in strong contact with the floor material surface during construction, there is a gap between the floor material surface 4 and the adjustment member 30. Is preferable since it is difficult to occur. The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 adopts a shape in consideration of this point as a modified example of FIG. 1, and has a protrusion 312 c having a triangular cross section protruding downward from the tip 312 b of the rear lower surface 316 a of the adjustment member 30. Since it is formed (FIG. 10A), when the corner portion of the notch 317 is placed against the corner portion of the floor material surface 4 and the end surface 3, the projection 312c is a solid line from the initial shape indicated by a dotted line. The lower end 312b is strongly brought into contact with the floor material surface 4 to prevent a gap from being formed as shown in FIG. 10 (b). In particular, in this embodiment, since the tip 312b of the protrusion 312c is positioned below the corner of the notch 317 in the normal state (FIG. 10A), the bottom tip 312b is surely placed in the flooring surface 4 in the construction state. The effect of not contacting with and generating a gap is more remarkably exhibited.

Or it is good also as a shape as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the rear lower surface 316a of the adjustment member 30 is not horizontal, but is formed as an inclined surface inclined downward from the corner of the notch 317 (FIG. 11A). As shown in the solid line from the initial shape in which the rear part is indicated by a dotted line, as in Example 6 of FIG. It is deformed by being pushed up, and prevents substantially the entire surface of the rear lower surface 316a, particularly the tip 312b, from coming into strong contact with the floor surface 4 (FIG. 11 (b)). In this embodiment, since the lower surface tip 312b is positioned below the corner of the notch 317 in the normal state (FIG. 11A), the lower surface tip 312b is securely placed in the floor in the construction state as in the seventh embodiment. The effect of contacting the material surface 4 and causing no gap is more prominently exhibited.

Or it is good also as a shape as shown in FIG. This embodiment is the same as the fifth embodiment in FIG. 9 in that the notch 317 is not formed in the adjustment member 30, but the rear lower surface 316a is formed as a curved surface curved downward (FIG. 12 ( a)) For this reason, when the corner portion of the notch 317 is placed against the corner portion of the floor material surface 4 and the end surface 3, the rear portion is the same as in the sixth and seventh embodiments of FIGS. Is pushed up from the initial shape indicated by the dotted line and deformed as indicated by the solid line, and the entire surface of the rear lower surface 316a, in particular, the tip 312b is strongly contacted with the floor surface 4 to prevent a gap (FIG. 12B). )). In this embodiment, since the lower surface tip 312b is positioned below the lower surface of the central surface portion 312 in the normal state (FIG. 12A), the lower surface tip 312b is reliably in the construction state as in the seventh and eighth embodiments. The effect of not contacting the floor material surface 4 and generating a gap is more remarkably exhibited.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 13 is a modification of the embodiment 4 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and the entire surface of the inclined surface 24 of the main body 20 and the front inclined surface 313 of the adjusting member 30 to the front half of the central upper surface 311. Anti-slip irregularities 241 and 33 are formed, and the main body lower surface 23 is common in that a plurality of recesses 231 are intermittently formed, but the rear inclined surface from the rear half of the central upper surface 311 of the adjustment member 30. The difference is that concavo-convex 33 is not formed over 315. That is, the latter half part of the central upper surface 311 and the rear inclined surface 315 are each formed as a smooth surface. This considers the following. That is, when the front portion of the adjustment member 30 (the surface portion from the front inclined surface 313 to the front half of the central upper surface 311) is stepped on and a load is applied, the rear surface portion 316 faces upward with the floor material corner P as a fulcrum. The power to break works. Further, when trying to remove the adjustment member 30 from the main body 20, a thin blade or the like may be inserted between the rear lower surface 316 a and the floor material surface 4 and pushed up. Furthermore, when the adjustment member 30 is handled, if the rear surface portion 316 is picked and worked, stress concentrates near the boundary between the rear surface portion 316 and the central surface portion 312. From these factors, when the unevenness 33 is formed over the entire surface of the adjustment member 30, it is easy to break at the cross section of the recess having a small thickness. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to avoid this, the unevenness 33 is formed only on the front portion of the adjustment member 30, and the rear portion (the surface portion from the rear half of the central upper surface 311 to the rear inclined surface 315) is uneven. By making the flat surface free from damage, the thickness of the rear portion is secured to increase the strength and prevent breakage.

In addition, the flooring 2 shown in this embodiment is shown as a flooring such as a soundproofing flooring that can be deformed by a compressive force or a shock absorbing floor provided with a cushioning material 5 on the back surface, and when a load is applied. In order to suppress the excessive deformation (sinking) of the flooring 2, the floor joist surface 3 is provided with a thick joist 6 on the bottom surface. Thereby, when walking from the flooring 2 side, the sinking of the flooring 2 is suppressed by the joist 6 and no gap is generated between the flooring surface 4 and the rear lower surface 316a of the adjusting member 30. It is possible to prevent the toes from being tripped by being caught in the gap. Further, when the rear surface portion 316 of the adjusting member 30 is stepped on, the floor material 2 is prevented from sinking by the joist 6 and the rear surface portion 316 is not deformed, so that the rear surface portion 31 is broken or damaged. Is prevented.

As described above, in the slope member 10 of the first embodiment, the lower surface 23 of the main body 20 is shown as a horizontal plane until reaching the tip portion 21, but the floor is strongly pressed in a state where the lower surface of the tip portion 21 is horizontally deformed. You may employ | adopt the shape which is made to contact a surface and it becomes difficult to produce a clearance gap between a floor surface and the main body 20. FIG. This embodiment is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, since the projection 211 having a triangular cross-section projecting downward from the lower surface 23 is formed on the distal end portion 21 of the main body 20 (FIG. 14A), when this is installed on the floor surface 1, The tip 21 is pushed up from the initial shape shown by the dotted line and deformed as shown by the solid line, and the tip of the projection 211 is prevented from coming into strong contact with the floor surface 1 (FIG. 14B). In this embodiment, elements / portions that are the same as or correspond to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

Or you may employ | adopt a front-end | tip part shape as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a shape in which the lower surface 23 is bent downward at the front end side portion of the main body 20 is adopted (FIG. 15A), so that this is the same as the embodiment 10 of FIG. When installed on the floor 1, the tip 21 is pushed up from the initial shape indicated by the dotted line and deformed as indicated by the solid line, and the tip 232 of the lower surface 23 strongly contacts the floor 1 to prevent a gap. (FIG. 15B).

Or you may employ | adopt a front-end | tip part shape as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a shape in which the lower surface 23 is curved downward is adopted at the front end side portion of the main body 20 (FIG. 16A), so the embodiment 10 in FIG. 14 and the embodiment 11 in FIG. Similarly, when this is installed on the floor surface 1, the tip end portion 21 is pushed up and deformed as shown by the solid line from the initial shape shown by the dotted line, and the tip 232 of the lower surface 23 strongly contacts the floor surface 1. The generation of a gap is prevented (FIG. 16B).
