JP 2000-1229897 A

  However, the conventional connecting member for the flooring unit is fixed to the plate member by using a nail, a screw, an adhesive, etc., and it takes time when assembling the flooring unit. It was. In addition, since the wooden plate member is fixed to the connecting member with nails, screws, etc., when the plate member expands due to moisture, the adjacent plate members are pressed against each other and the flooring unit is distorted by the force, or dried. When the plate member contracts due to this, there is a problem that a gap between the plate members is widened.

  Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a connecting member that can easily connect wooden plate members to form a floor unit and prevent the floor unit from being distorted. It is what.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the connecting member of the present invention is “a wood having a plurality of grooves formed on the back side thereof at substantially equal intervals in the direction of the mouth and extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the mouth. A connecting member for connecting a plurality of the plate members to each other in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the mouth by the grooves to form a floor covering unit having a substantially square shape in plan view, wherein the grooves are formed. The bottom wall portion is a thin plate having a width wider than the interval between the two, and is substantially the same as the width of the floor unit, and the two adjacent adjacent ones that are erected on the surface side of the bottom wall portion. A pair of upright wall portions each insertable into the groove, and a locking portion having a saw-like cross section formed on both side surfaces of the upright wall portion to make it difficult to pass through the upright wall portion inserted into the groove; A rubber non-slip part provided on the back side of the bottom wall part, the bottom wall part, the standing wall part And the locking portion is characterized "that is made of resin which is integrally formed. Here, the “head direction” is a direction in which a tree that becomes a timber extends, and is a direction in which annual rings appear at the ends.

  According to the present invention, after arranging a plurality of plate members in substantially the same state as the floor unit, by inserting the standing wall portion of the connecting member into two adjacent grooves formed in each plate member, The desired floor unit can be easily formed by simply connecting the plate members. In addition, since both sides of the standing wall portion are provided with saw-like locking portions, it is easy to insert the standing wall portion into the groove, and after insertion, the saw-shaped acute angle portion is locked to the groove inner wall and the standing wall It becomes difficult to remove the portion, and the connection of the plate members can be firmly maintained as a floor covering unit.

  Moreover, since the standing wall portion is only inserted into the groove of the plate member, the standing wall portion can be moved along the groove of the plate member. In other words, since the plate member can slide along the standing wall portion of the connecting member, even if the plate member expands due to moisture, the plate member can slide on the connecting member to release the force caused by the expansion, It is possible to prevent the floor unit from being distorted. Moreover, when a board member shrink | contracts by drying and the clearance gap between board members becomes large, a board member can be slid so that the clearance gap may be lost, and a flooring unit can be made into a favorable state.

  Further, since the rubber non-slip portion is provided on the back surface side of the connecting member, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the floor unit laid on the veranda or the floor from slipping. In addition, since the connecting member is provided with a pair of standing wall portions, by inserting and connecting the respective standing wall portions to the two grooves formed in the plate member, the connecting member can be connected to the connecting member in plan view. It becomes difficult to turn the plate members, and it is possible to form a floor unit that is hard to be deformed by firmly connecting the plate members. Furthermore, since the pair (two) standing wall portions are inserted and fixed in the grooves of the plate member, the connecting member can be more difficult to come off from the plate member.

  In addition, the groove of the plate member into which the pair of standing wall portions are inserted is formed at a predetermined interval with respect to the direction of the mouth, and there is almost no expansion or contraction due to moisture or drying, so the interval between adjacent grooves does not change. Even if the use environment of the flooring unit changes, it is difficult to apply a load from the plate member to the pair of standing wall portions, and the flooring unit and the connecting member can be prevented from being distorted.

  Further, depending on the length of the plate member and the interval between the grooves, a plurality of connecting members may be used for one flooring unit. Further, the size of the floor unit in a plan view can be set to an arbitrary size, and for example, the size of the floor unit may be a fraction of an integer with respect to the size of the tatami mat. When laying the floor, it is possible to satisfactorily cover the entire floor surface with only a single flooring unit. Furthermore, the thickness of the floor unit may be substantially the same as the thickness of the tatami mat, so that the tatami room can be easily changed to a floor room in which the floor unit is laid out.
