Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of slats with protrusions used in bathrooms, balconies, etc.

1 and 2 are a plan view and a sectional view showing a conventional structure of the drainboard manufactured and sold by the applicant company, and in these figures, a drainboard member 1 having an appropriate length is shown on both sides in the longitudinal direction. Legs 2 formed on the edges
are connected by a plurality of connecting members 3 made of synthetic resin material, and by interposing the protruding strips 4 that project laterally on the legs 2, irregular loads are applied to the upper surface of the slat member 1. Even when the drainboard members 1 are placed in the same position, a predetermined distance 5 is maintained between adjacent drainboard members 1, and it is possible to eliminate the drawbacks that occur when feet, fingers, etc. are caught between the drainboard members 1. however,
According to this conventional structure, the end surfaces of adjacent protrusions come into close contact with each other, making it easy for water to accumulate on the upper surface of the protrusions.
It was discovered that there was a problem with water drainage, which caused mold.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional structure of the slats, and to make the end faces of the ridges protruding from the legs of the slat members uneven, thereby improving the end faces of the adjacent ridges. To provide a drainboard configured to prevent water from accumulating on the upper surface of a ridge by forming a drainage channel between the end face of the ridge or the ridge and the leg.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the specific structure of this invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated Example.

The drainboard of the present invention is a drainboard formed by connecting a large number of drainboard members 11 each having leg portions 10 formed on both sides in the longitudinal direction in parallel via connecting members 12 made of a flexible material. 11
A horizontal protrusion 13 is formed on at least one of the leg parts 10, and the end face of the protrusion 13 is formed into an uneven shape so that the end faces of adjacent protrusion parts 13 or the protrusion A drainage channel 14 is formed between the end face of the portion 13 and the leg portion 10.

The drainboard member 11 is made of synthetic resin, preferably synthetic resin foam, wood, or a material with the same properties as these to an appropriate length, and both longitudinal edges are bent downward to form leg portions 10 that serve as ground contact portions. It forms. A connecting member 12 for connecting the drainboard members 11 at their leg portions 10 is made of a flexible material such as rubber or soft synthetic resin and has an appropriate shape so as to be bendable.

Leg portions 10 formed on both side edges of the drainboard member 11
is provided with a protruding part 13 facing outward, and the end face of the protruding part 13 abuts the end face of the adjacent protruding part 13, and the protruding part 13 is provided between the slat members 11.
A distance 15 corresponding to the protrusion length of 3 is maintained. In addition, this protrusion part 13 is attached to the drainboard member 11.
It is not necessary to protrude from both leg portions 10 of , as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the end surfaces of the protrusions 13 come into contact with the outer circumferential surfaces of the leg portions 10 of the adjacent grating members 11.

By forming the protruding stripes 13 on the legs 10 in this way, a predetermined distance is maintained between the slat members 11, and the problem of fingers being pinched can be solved. However, the protruding portion 13
Since the end surfaces of the protrusions 13 or the end surfaces of the protrusions 13 and the adjacent leg portions 10 come into close contact with each other, water accumulates on the upper surface of the protrusions 13.
3 is formed into an uneven shape (FIG. 3), and the size is such that water can fall between the end surfaces of adjacent protrusions 13 or between the end surfaces of the protrusions 13 and the legs 10. A drainage channel 14 having a diameter is formed.

Note that the uneven portions formed on the end face of the protruding strip 13 may be provided continuously along the protruding strip 13, or may be formed at appropriate intervals. The unevenness is not limited to the wave-like unevenness shown in the drawings, but may have an appropriate shape such as a rectangular shape.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, adjacent protrusions 13,
13 is formed with concave and convex portions of approximately the same pitch to form a drainage channel 14 of a required size on the abutting surface. In the embodiment shown in FIG. It is constructed so that a relatively large drainage channel 14 can be obtained on the abutting surface by changing the structure. Furthermore, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, it is also possible to form an uneven portion on only one of the adjacent protrusions 13 and leave the end face of the other protrusion 13 flat. A drainage channel 14 of a required size is formed on the contact surface. As shown in FIG. 7, even when the protrusion 13 is formed only on one leg 10 of the drainboard member 11, if the end surface of the protrusion 13 is made uneven, it will be possible to Leg part 1 of drainboard member 11
A drainage channel 14 is obtained between the outer circumferential surface of 0.

As described above, in any of the embodiments, the protrusions 13 are interposed between the plurality of grate members 11 connected via the connecting members, so that the predetermined interval 15 is maintained, and the protrusions A drainage channel 14 is formed between the end surfaces of the sections 13 or between the end surfaces of the protruding ridges 13 and the legs 10, and water that has entered the upper surface of the ridges 13 falls downward through the drain 14. , it is possible to eliminate the drawback that water accumulates on the upper surface of the protrusion portion 13.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the danger of feet, fingers, etc. being caught between the slat members, and to provide a slat with protrusions that has extremely good water drainage. It is.
