Description

  The present invention particularly relates to a decorative plate for piping installed around a piping of a piping inserted through an opening formed in a bottom plate of a cabinet or the like.

  Conventionally, in construction work where water supply, hot water supply, drain pipes, etc. are started up from the opening holes formed in the bottom plate inside the cabinet, such as sinks and vanities, and connected to faucets and drain traps, The gap with the piping is covered with a decorative plate for piping.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a mounting state of a conventional decorative plate for piping. As illustrated, an opening hole 120 is formed in the bottom plate 100 of the cabinet at a position where a pipe 110 for supplying water or hot water is inserted. There is a slight gap between the pipe 110 and the opening hole 120. This gap is blocked by using a decorative plate for piping 130 so that water leaked from the piping 110 does not flow from the opening hole to the floor or cannot be seen.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a conventional decorative plate for piping. FIG. 1A is a plan view of the plate. FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the plate. As shown in the figure, the decorative plate for piping 130 has a notch 132 formed in a part of the annular disk in the diameter direction. The piping decorative plate 130 is made of, for example, a hard vinyl plate. It is possible to insert the pipe 110 installed in advance through the notch 132 into the opening 134 of the annular decorative plate 130 for pipe by retrofitting. An adhesive layer is formed on the back surface of the decorative plate for piping 130 and bonded to the bottom plate.

  Since the opening hole 134 of the piping decorative plate 130 is slightly larger in diameter than the diameter of the piping 110, a gap is formed between the piping decorative plate 130 and the piping 110. Therefore, it is necessary to close (seal) this gap in order to prevent water leakage of the piping. As this sealing method, there is a method of using a sealing material having water blocking properties.

  In the method using a sealing material, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the piping 110 is inserted into the opening of the decorative plate for piping 130 and bonded to the bottom plate 100. A sealing material 140 is applied along the outer periphery of the pipe 110 in the gap between the pipe 110 and the decorative plate for pipe 130 to close it.

  However, when a conventional decorative plate for piping is used, a cut portion is formed in the decorative plate for piping, so if water leaks in the piping, the water falls down under the floor of the bottom plate along the outside of the piping, It was not known that water was leaking, and it was detected after a large amount of water accumulated under the floor, which could lead to a serious water leak.

In addition, since the conventional decorative plate for piping uses, for example, a hard vinyl plate as the material, if the plate surface of the bottom plate is uneven, a gap is generated between the decorative plate for piping and the plate surface. If it does so, there existed a possibility that the water which transmitted the outer side of piping might be flooded from the clearance gap. Therefore, if the bottom plate is not flat, the plate-shaped decorative plate for piping and the bottom plate cannot be brought into close contact with each other.
In order to improve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a decorative plate for piping capable of easily closing the periphery of the piping of the piping inserted through the opening hole in the plate surface.

The decorative plate for piping according to the present invention is characterized by comprising an elastic plate-like elastic body having a through-hole having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the piping through which the piping is inserted.
In this case, the plate-like elastic body may be an elastomer. Moreover, the said plate-shaped elastic body is good to provide the taper part which thickness becomes thick gradually toward the outer side from the said through-hole side around the said through-hole. Furthermore, the plate-like elastic body has a thick portion formed at the edge of the through hole.

  According to this invention by the said structure, while providing the thick part in the opening edge of the through-hole which piping penetrates, the opening of a through-hole is made smaller than the diameter of piping. Thereby, since a thick part closely_contact | adheres along the outer periphery of piping, a clearance gap does not arise between a through-hole and piping. Therefore, there is no need for complicated sealing work.

  In addition, the elastic plate-like elastic body allows the elastic plate-like body to expand and contract along the irregularities even if the bottom plate has irregularities, and closes the gap between the pipe and the bottom plate. . Therefore, no gap is generated.

  Embodiments of a decorative plate for piping according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Drawing 1 is a figure showing the composition outline of the decorative plate for piping concerning an embodiment. The figure (1) shows the top view of the decorative plate for piping. FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. Drawing 2 is an explanatory view showing the attachment state of the decorative plate for piping concerning an embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the decorative plate 10 for piping according to the embodiment includes a plate-like elastic body 30 that can be expanded and contracted, and a through-hole through which a pipe 50 such as water supply, hot water supply, and water pipe is inserted in the center of the plate-like elastic body 30 20 is the main component. The decorative plate 10 for piping is made of a stretchable elastic body, for example, rubber, synthetic rubber such as ethylene propylene, or elastomer such as thermoplastic elastomer.

  The outer diameter of the decorative plate 10 for piping is larger than the diameter of the opening 42 of the plate surface 40, and the plate-like elastic body 30 can be installed on the plate surface 40. The plate-like elastic body 30 is formed with an adhesive layer 32 on the back surface that contacts the opening edge of the plate surface 40. In this embodiment, the adhesive layer 32 before use is covered with release paper. The adhesive layer 32 is not limited to this as long as it has an adhesive function such as a double-sided tape and an adhesive.

  The through hole 20 is an opening formed at the center of the plate-like elastic body 30 through which the pipe 50 is inserted. The diameter of the through hole 20 is set slightly smaller than the diameter of the pipe 50 to be inserted. In the present embodiment, when the outer diameter of the pipe is 18 mm, for example, the diameter of the through hole 20 is set to 16 mm, and is set to be 1 to 3 mm smaller than the outer diameter of the pipe 50 in consideration of an error in the outer diameter of the pipe 50.

  The plate-like elastic body 30 is formed with a tapered portion 34. As shown in FIG. 1B, the tapered portion 34 is formed so that the thickness gradually increases from the through hole side toward the outside around the through hole 20. For this reason, since the thickness of the taper portion 34 becomes thinner toward the center of the opening and is made thinner than the thickness t of the outer peripheral portion of the decorative plate 10 for piping, it is easy to expand and contract with a slight force.

  A thick portion 36 is formed at the edge of the through hole 20, that is, at the opening edge. The thick portion 36 is formed at the opening edge between the tapered portion 34 and the through hole 20, and has a width larger than the thinnest thickness width of the tapered portion 34. For this reason, while being able to enlarge the contact area of the piping 50 and the thick part 36 which penetrate the through-hole 20, the edge part of the through-hole 20 can have a certain amount of strength.

  In the present invention configured as described above, when a pipe 50 such as water supply, hot water supply, or a water pipe is inserted into the opening 42 of the plate surface 40 serving as the bottom plate in the cabinet, the through hole 20 of the pipe decorative plate 10 is also inserted in advance. Keep it. Then, after the pipe 50 is connected and fixed to the faucet and the drain trap, the pipe decorative plate 10 disposed at a position higher than the plate surface 40 is pushed down to approach the opening 42 of the plate surface 40. At this time, since the diameter of the through hole 20 is set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the pipe 50, the thin taper portion 34 is easily expanded and contracted with a slight force and is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 50. When the piping decorative plate 10 is pushed down, the periphery of the through hole 20 is easily rolled up as shown in FIG. 2 due to friction with the piping 50, and the adhesion with the piping 50 can be enhanced.

  Next, the release paper on the back surface of the decorative plate for piping 10 is peeled off, and the adhesive layer 32 is adhered and fixed to the opening edge of the plate surface 40. At this time, since the plate-like elastic body 30 can be expanded and contracted, even when the plate surface 40 has irregularities, it can be expanded and contracted along the irregularities and elastically deformed to be brought into close contact with the plate surface 40.

  In such a decorative plate for piping, the opening edge of the through hole through which the pipe is inserted is provided with a thick portion, and the opening of the through hole is made smaller than the diameter of the piping. Further, the elastic plate-like elastic body is in close contact with the plate surface. For this reason, the pipe periphery of the pipe inserted through the opening on the plate surface can be easily blocked. Therefore, the troublesome work of sealing with a sealing material or the like is not required for the gap generated between the conventional decorative plate for piping and the piping. Also, when water leaks in the piping, the water that falls along the outside of the piping flows from the thick part of the decorative decorative plate for piping that touches the piping to the plate and flows to the outer periphery of the plate, so it leaks under the floor. It is easy to detect water leakage.

  In the present embodiment, the shape of the decorative plate for piping has been described using an annular disk, but the shape of the plate is not limited to this, and the through hole and the pipe can be in close contact with each other, and the gap between the pipe and the plate surface is closed. If so, various shapes such as an ellipse, a rectangle, and a polygon can be used. Moreover, it is good to form the opening size smaller than a piping diameter beforehand for every piping according to the various diameter of the piping to penetrate. Furthermore, you may form so that the center of the through-hole of a plate-shaped elastic body may become a position eccentric with respect to the center of a plate-shaped elastic body.
