JPH0359247A - Block or tile-shaped module member - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To mold a member which is lightweight and hardly cracked by forming a block or tile-shaped basic shape with rubber or a plastic material, and integrally forming a carving-tone undulating pattern on part or whole of the surface. CONSTITUTION:A basic shape 1 of a block is formed by injection-molding AES resin, and a carving-tone undulating pattern 2 is integrally formed on two mating surfaces by the undulating pattern on the inner face of a mold. Members 1 are stacked by utilizing upper and lower smooth faces 3 of the block-shaped member 1, and the right and left smooth faces 4 are arranged in parallel to construct a block wall with the preset undulating pattern. A module member harmonized with decoration and environment can be molded.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to modular members such as blocks or tiles used as building materials or elements of furnishings such as furniture, and particularly relates to modular members of this type with excellent design. It concerns the provision of goods.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in areas of buildings that are easily visible to the public, it has been most common to apply paint prepared in colors close to natural colors to bring out the design.

In addition, for example, the blocks used for curbstones and block walls are colored concrete blocks, which are made by pouring a mixture of mortar, colored pigments, sand, gravel, cement, etc. into a formwork and hardening it by heating with fresh air. ing.

On the other hand, tiles that are often used as interior and exterior materials are generally made of ceramics, linoleum, or the like.

Furthermore, decorative sheets made of vinyl chloride and sheets with patterns transferred thereto are used as decorative sheets for furnishings.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Paint processing relies on the skill of the coating worker, so it is not reproducible and takes a long time. In many cases, it became impossible to maintain the beautiful appearance.

In addition, colored concrete blocks take a long time to heat and dry to become a product, and are also heavy and difficult to handle.
9. It was difficult to handle, and furthermore, it had disadvantages such as being weak against impact and easily breaking. Furthermore, even if an undulating pattern with a three-dimensional effect is formed, there is a problem in that it is easily chipped.

Furthermore, since tiles and sheets are basically patterned on a flat plane, they do not look natural, and cannot fully meet the demand for decorations that harmonize with or approximate the natural environment. It was difficult to say that I was there.

The present invention was made in view of these circumstances, and can be mass-produced, is lightweight, does not break easily, is easy to construct, and is excellent in terms of decoration and environmental harmony. It is an object to provide a modular member.

[Means to solve the problem]

The means of the present invention, which is distantly related to the above object (problem), has a block or tile-like basic shape formed of rubber or plastic material, and a sculptural undulation pattern is integrally formed on part or all of the surface. It is the same thing.

Such an undulating pattern is integrally formed with the basic shape of a block or tile by the undulating pattern engraved on the mold itself during injection molding of the rubber/plastic material 4.

The undulating pattern formed as described above should have a maximum height of no more than 3 degrees from the bottom of the deepest groove to the top of the highest ridge, so that it can be removed from the mold. In addition, the undulating pattern can be made so that it does not easily chip.

The rubber/plastic material to be applied is suitably a so-called engineering plastic such as weather-resistant ABS resin, ABS resin, or AC3 resin. especially,
ABS resin (a weather-resistant rubber grafted with styrene and acrylonitrile) has excellent impact resistance and is effective in increasing the strength of undulating patterns.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the module member according to the present invention, and is an example of a block.

In this example, the basic shape 1 of the block is formed by injection molding from ABS resin (a material made by graft copolymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile to weather-resistant rubber), and the undulating pattern is engraved on the inner surface of the mold. As a result, sculptural-like undulating horizontal patterns 2, 2 are integrally formed on two opposing surfaces (surfaces that appear on the front and back sides of the paper).

Such block-shaped module members can be prepared in large numbers and stacked using the upper and lower smooth surfaces 3.3, and arranged side by side using the left and right smooth surfaces 4.4. , it is possible to construct a block wall with a predetermined undulating pattern.

This undulating pattern has a maximum height from the deepest groove part 2a to the highest raised part 2b as shown in FIG.

1. , should not exceed 3u, and all the side surfaces from the groove to the protuberance should be sloped surfaces that can be seen outward, making it easy to pull out from the undulating pattern of the mold.

Also, according to the undulating pattern shaped as above,
In particular, it is possible to increase the shearing force of the raised portion 2b, which is likely to break due to external force.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the module member according to the present invention, and is an example of a tile.

In this example as well, the basic shape 5 of the tile is formed by injection molding using ABS resin (a material made by graft copolymerizing weather-resistant rubber with styrene and acrylonitrile), and the undulations engraved on the inner surface of the mold are also used. Depending on the pattern, a sculptural undulating pattern 6 is integrally formed on one wide surface. The opposite wide surface 7 is finished smoothly as a surface for installation on the ground or a wall, and the four side edges 8 are finished smoothly as abutment edges when many of these are laid down.

In addition to the unidirectional flow of linear grooves and linear ridges that resembles wood bark as in the above embodiments, for example, fine irregularities such as the surface of natural stone, a satin pattern, or a stone grain pattern can be used. It may also be due to the ups and downs of the area.

Furthermore, considering the examples to which the above-mentioned modular members can be applied, there are
Examples include roof tiles, decorative panels for doors, furniture such as chests of drawers and sideboards, bathtubs, curbstones, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the module member of the present invention as explained above,
The original purpose of providing modular components that can be mass-produced, lightweight, resistant to cracking, easy to construct, and excellent in terms of decoration and environmental harmony is more than distantly related. It is of great practical value.
