Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a floor slat made of soft synthetic resin that is installed, for example, in a washroom, poolside, shoe-shoeing area, or indoor floor surface.

(Conventional technology) Slats are generally installed in washrooms, poolside areas, shoe removal areas, etc. to improve drainage and mud removal. Recently, there has been a trend toward the use of hard resin materials, which are resistant to rot, have excellent durability, are lightweight, and are easy to maintain. Specifically, for example, Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-107495;
As described in Publication No. 52-144152, etc., a rod-shaped hard resin connecting member is arranged perpendicularly to the lower surface of a plurality of strips arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals, and the strips are connected to each other. It has been proposed that a connecting member and a connecting member are fitted or joined.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned hard synthetic resin drainboards have the following problems because the entire structure is hard.

In other words, it cannot be deformed and must be moved or transported in its original form.Also, when removing and cleaning dirt, sand, etc. that has accumulated under the slats, lifting one side edge will cause the entire slat to collapse. It is very inconvenient to handle, as it requires a large amount of force to support it when it is tilted, and cleaning work is not easy. This inconvenience is especially noticeable when the size is large.

Also, it doesn't feel good when you put your feet on it.

Furthermore, although it is sufficient if the floor surface on which the grates are laid is completely flat, there is a drawback that if the above-mentioned grates are laid on a floor surface that has some unevenness or steps, it will cause wobbling.

Furthermore, if chips or cracks occur, there is a risk of injury to the user due to the sharpness of the chipped or cracked parts.

In addition, although the above-mentioned slats can be made to have a certain width, there is a limit to their length due to their hardness and manufacturing and transportation reasons, so it is difficult to increase the size. There is also a drawback that there is no

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a resin floor grating that can solve the above-mentioned problems all at once.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, this invention consists of a large number of rod-shaped vertical members 2, 2... made of thermoplastic soft synthetic resin, horizontal members 3,
A soft synthetic resin flooring grating characterized in that 3... are arranged one above the other in a lattice pattern, and both members are welded and integrated with each other at each intersection part 4, 4... The main points are as follows.

(Example) Hereinafter, the configuration of this invention will be described with reference to an example shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

The flooring grates 1 according to this invention include a large number of bar-shaped vertical members 2, 2... and horizontal members 3, each having a substantially square cross section.
3 are arranged one above the other in a grid pattern, and these members are welded and integrated with each other at each intersection portion 4, 4....

The vertical member 2 and the horizontal member 3 are both made of soft synthetic resin such as soft vinyl chloride, and are generally formed by extruding these resins. Further, since the vertical member 2 and the horizontal member 3 are welded at each intersection portion 4, they are required to have thermoplastic properties. Although it is of course possible to make the vertical members 2 and the horizontal members 3 different in thickness, using the same member is advantageous in manufacturing since only one type of member is required. Furthermore, the intervals between the vertical members 2 and the horizontal members 3 can be set arbitrarily, but generally the intervals between the members located on the floor side (the horizontal members 3 in the illustrated embodiment) are larger. It will be done.

In the illustrated embodiment, on the upper surface of the vertical member 2,
A protrusion 21 extending in the length direction is formed at both ends and the center, and a notch 2 in the width direction is formed.
2 are formed in large numbers in the length direction. Similarly, a protrusion 31 and a notch 32 are also provided on the lower surface of the horizontal member 3.
is formed. The protrusions 21 on the vertical member 2 function as anti-slip while walking, and the protrusions 31 on the horizontal member 3
The slats themselves act as a non-slippery against the floor surface. On the other hand, the cuts 22 and 32 in both members serve to improve the bendability of the members. Incidentally, the protrusions 21 and the notches 22 of the vertical member 2 are visible to the public, so they also exhibit a design effect.

(Effect of the invention) Based on the above, the slats of this invention have vertical members,
Since all of the horizontal members are made of soft synthetic resin, the whole can be flexibly deformed, and for movement and transportation, the whole can be compacted by winding it into a spiral shape. be able to.

Moreover, such winding operations can be carried out smoothly due to the flexibility of the entire structure, and even when unrolling from a rolled state, the operation can be carried out smoothly by utilizing inertia force. It also has excellent durability, as there is no localized high load when it is rolled up.

In addition, even if the side edge is lifted when removing and cleaning dirt, sand, etc. that has accumulated under the slats, only the lifted part and its vicinity will come up, and no great force is required to support it. Cleaning work etc. can be easily performed.

In this way, handling is very convenient.

Also, it feels very good when you put your feet on it. In other words, the cushioning effect due to the softness of the member on the side the foot rests on, and the cushioning effect due to the softness of the floor side member, combine to produce a cushioning effect greater than the sum of the two, and the cushioning effect is greater than the sum of the two. It feels especially good when you put it on.

Furthermore, even if the floor surface on which the product is to be laid has some unevenness or steps, the product can be laid while fitting to such a surface, and no wobbling or the like will occur.

Furthermore, it is less likely to chip or crack, and
Even if this happens, the user will not be injured by touching that part.

In addition, since the entire structure is flexible, there is no longer any restriction on length due to manufacturing or transportation reasons as in the past, and the device can be manufactured into a large size.

Furthermore, since the vertical and horizontal members are welded together at their intersections, this combined with the fact that both members are made of soft synthetic resin means that the joint strength is strong and the joining work is easy. It is possible to improve efficiency and productivity.
