It has been provided in the form of being continuously disposed and installed in the concave steps 3a, 3a formed at the upper end. This conventional metal-made sunk-like overflow groove has disadvantages and problems such as weight problems, corrosion resistance problems, poor color, and complicated transportation work. have.

On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses an overflow groove lid having technical contents that is a predecessor of the present invention. In this overflow groove cover described in Patent Document 2, the groove cover substrate member 1 having a T-shaped cross section is held at a constant interval so as to be in parallel with each other, and is connected with a flexible material. The connecting member 8 is connected. The overflow groove cover described in Patent Document 2 is such that a slip stopper 4 is formed on a T-shaped top surface 3 of a groove cover substrate member 1 having a T-shaped cross section, and the overflow groove cover is used as an overflow groove. Since the non-slip surface is formed in a sawtooth shape in a direction orthogonal to the length direction of the overflow groove, the gap is expanded when an external force is applied between the adjacent groove lid substrate members 1 and 1. As a result, there was a big problem in terms of safety.
