The upper edge of the plate is parallel to the upper edge of the two sides facing the two sides, bends at a right angle, has the same thickness as the protruding edge, and is flush with the upper surface of the plate. A thickness obtained by subtracting the thickness of the two protrusions from the thickness of the plate on the upper surface of the edge, upward along the outer edge, on the lower surface of the protrusion of the upper edge, and downward along the outer edge, A protrusion having a width substantially half the width of the protrusion is provided, and a groove is formed between the side wall of the plate and the protrusion, and both ends of the groove are opened outside the protrusion. The plate member is formed by the projection of either of the two projecting edges of the other plate member. The are opposed, and allows to couple by fitting to each other ridges in the groove.

  The plate member is made up of two plates that are square or rectangular in plan view, with the two sides connected to each other being shifted in parallel and facing each other up and down, and the opposite surface of the plates is covered between the two plates. Adhering and solidifying these three plates across the plate of the size, projecting from the upper plate to form the collar, on the protruding edge of the upper plate and the intermediate plate, on the two adjacent sides of the lower plate A lower plate that cuts an intermediate plate at substantially half the width of the protruding edge to form grooves that open at both ends of the protruding edge, and protrudes from the lower plate to form a shelf portion; At the projecting edge of the intermediate plate, the intermediate plate is cut to a width substantially half the width of the projecting edge along two adjacent sides of the upper plate to form a groove that opens at both ends of the projecting edge. You may comprise.

  The plate member can be formed by integral molding.

  The plate member according to the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to join and connect to each other. When a plurality of plates are connected, their joints appear as straight lines, and when four plate members are connected in a square shape. However, the corners of the plate member need not have a special shape. Moreover, it can connect by changing a joining direction and front and back. In the state where a plurality of sheets are connected, if the surface of one of them is stained or damaged, the plate member may be turned over.

In addition, the plates 2, 4, and 3 are bonded and fixed with the plate 4 covering the opposing surfaces of both plates interposed therebetween.
Although the thickness of the plate 4 is not limited, it is preferable to make it thinner than the thickness of the plates 2 and 3 so that the plate member 1 does not become so thick.

And in the plate 4 which overlaps with the protruding edge bent at a right angle formed on the two adjacent edges of the plate 3 appearing to be shifted from the two connected sides of the plate 2, it is shifted along the two sides of the plate 2. Removes a width that is substantially half of the existing width. By this deletion, the deleted portion forms the groove 5 having the upper surface of the plate 3 as the bottom surface and the deleted width as the width, and the edge portion of the plate 4 remaining without being deleted forms the protrusion 5.
Both ends of the groove 5 open to the outside of the edge of the plate 3.

Further, on the back side of the plate 2, the edges of the two sides of the plate 2 and the plate 4 other than the two sides are shifted from the edge of the plate 3 to form a protruding edge. In the portion of the protruding plate 4, only a substantially half width of the shifted width is deleted along the side of the plate 3. By this deletion, the deleted portion forms the groove 5 having the upper surface of the plate 2 as the bottom surface and the deleted width as the width, and the edge of the plate 4 remaining without being deleted forms the protrusion 6.
Both ends of the groove 5 open outside the edge of the plate 2.
The grooves 5 on either side of the plate 2 and the plate 3 intersect at corners of the plate 2 and plate 3, and the protrusions 7 remain at the corners. This protrusion 7 may be deleted.

  Due to the formation of the grooves 5, the corners of the plates 2 and 3 that do not have the corner protrusions 7 are cut off when the grooves 5 are formed. It is the removal part 7 from which the angle | corner displayed with the dotted line of FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 was cut off.

The connection state of the plate member 1 is shown in FIGS.
