【Example】

 1 is a partially cutaway front view of a translucent block 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway side view of the block 1. The transparent block 1 includes a hollow block body 2, a transparent substance 3 that fills the entire inner space of the block body 2, and a block body 2 at the central portion of the block body 2 in the bulk thickness direction A. It has a collar body 4 integrally provided in a form surrounding the periphery.

The outer wall 21 of the block body 2 is made of a synthetic resin and is a synthetic resin having a light-transmitting property such as colorless and transparent or colored and transparent, for example, a polycarbonate resin having excellent transparency and excellent impact resistance. Made As a method of manufacturing the block body 2, injection molding or blow molding techniques can be preferably adopted. In the case of injection molding, the left half and the right half of the collar body 4 are separately molded with the central portion in the thickness direction (which is the same direction as the bulk thickness direction A) as a boundary, and the molded products are combined. It is also possible to adopt a method of joining by using means such as adhesion or heat fusion. In this embodiment, the block main body 2 has a square shape in which a front view has a corner as shown in FIG. 1, and a side view has a substantially rectangular shape with a radius in a corner as shown in FIG. . Further, the outer wall 21 of the block body 2 has a front surface portion 21a and a rear surface portion 21b which are slightly bulged outward as shown in FIG. The outer wall 21 may be provided with an uneven pattern or ridges so that light is scattered. In such a case, it is necessary to provide the above uneven pattern on the inner surface of the outer wall 21. It is preferable in that dust adhesion can be suppressed. The block body 2 is not limited to the above-described shape as long as it is hollow, and may have a polygonal shape other than the above.

The collar body 4 has a protrusion 41, a recess 42, and a semicircular recess 43 at portions corresponding to the four side surfaces of the block body 2, and the protrusion 41 has a lateral width. B1 and the protrusion width C1 from the collar body 4 are the same, and the lateral width B2 and the inlet width C2 from the collar body 4 are the same in all the recessed portions 42, and are the same as the lateral width B1 of each protrusion 41. The lateral width B2 of each recess 42, the protrusion width C1 of each protrusion 41 and the recess width C2 of each recess 42 are the same or substantially the same, and the protrusions 41, 41 adjacent to each other around the block main body 2 and The recesses 42, 42 and the recesses 43, 43 have the same angular interval.

The translucent substance 3 that can be used is a liquid such as water, a sol-like substance which is a colloidal dispersion type substance having a relatively high fluidity, or a colloidal dispersion substance which is rich in elasticity or viscoelasticity and has a low fluidity. It is selected from gel-like substances and water-absorbing polymers, but the selected substance is required to have translucency.

The transparent substance 3 is filled in the internal space of the block body 2 at a factory or a construction site of the transparent block 1. In particular, if the translucent material is filled at the construction site of the block body 1, the extremely lightweight block body 2 is separated from the translucent material because it is hollow and made of synthetic resin. Can be carried.

When the block body 2 is filled with the translucent substance 3 at the construction site, a predetermined portion of the outer wall 21 of the block body 2, for example, the collar body 4 is formed as shown in FIG. A through hole 5 is formed at a location so as to penetrate the collar body 4 and open at the surface of the recess 43. By doing so, it is possible to easily inject the light-transmitting substance 3 made of a liquid or sol into the internal space of the block body 2 by utilizing the through hole 5 at the construction site. The through hole 5 is closed by a tight plug (not shown) after the work of filling the transparent material 3 is completed. In order to close the through hole 5, it is possible to use not only a tight plug but also a sealant or the like. In FIG. 2, through holes 5 and 5 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the block body 1, one through hole 5 is used for injecting a translucent substance, and the other through hole 5 is used for venting air. is there.

When a gel-like material or a water-absorbent polymer is used as the light-transmitting substance 3, an opening (not shown) having a size that allows the gel-like substance or the water-absorbing polymer to be filled in the internal space of the block body 2 is provided. It is formed on the outer wall 21 and the opening is closed with a light-transmitting material after filling the light-transmitting substance 3, or the light-transmitting substance 3 is placed inside the block body 2 during the manufacturing process of the block body 2. It is possible to adopt a strategy of confining and filling the space.

Since there are many known substances for the sol-like substance and the gel-like substance as the light-transmitting substance 3, it is needless to mention a concrete example. However, in the present invention, only those having light-transmitting property among them are used. It is possible to employ it, and among them, it is preferable to add water and alcohol to silicon alkoxide or tetraethoxylane because they hydrolyze and lose fluidity with time to cause gelation. When a water-absorbent polymer is used as the translucent substance 3, after a predetermined amount of the water-absorbent polymer is put into the inner space of the block body 2, the water-absorbent polymer 2 is supplied with water to swell it, By doing so, the entire inner space of the block body 2 may be filled with the swollen water-absorbing polymer. As the water-absorbent polymer, a sodium polyacrylate crosslinked product is suitable. Such a light-transmitting substance 3 is easy to fill the internal space of the block body 2 and gels or swells therein, so that the through hole 5 does not need to be particularly sealed.

FIG. 3 shows a usage state of the translucent block 1. In this case, between the translucent blocks 1 and 1 arranged in the vertical direction Y, as shown in FIG. 4, the collar bodies 4 and 4 are provided at the sides corresponding to each other of the adjoining translucent blocks 1 and 1. The projecting piece 41 and the recessed portion 42 are fitted together by abutting the end faces of each other. With this configuration, displacement of the translucent blocks 1 and 1 adjacent in the vertical direction Y in the horizontal direction X is prevented. The translucent blocks 1 and 1 arranged in the lateral direction X have the same configuration, and the translucent blocks 1 and 1 adjacent to each other in the lateral direction X have a similar configuration in the longitudinal direction Y. Is prevented from being displaced.

As shown in FIG. 3, a horizontal rail 61 is arranged at the butting position of the collar bodies 4, 4 of the translucent blocks 1, 1 which are adjacent in the vertical direction Y, and are also adjacent in the horizontal direction X. A vertical bar 62 is provided at the abutting position of the collar bodies 4, 4 of the translucent block 1, 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the horizontal rails 61 are arranged on both sides of the butt portion between the collar bodies 4 and 4, respectively, and the horizontal rails 61, 61 are screwed together by fastening bolts 7. It is tightened by that. In this case, the fastening bolt 7 is inserted through the bolt insertion hole 44 formed by abutting the collar bodies 4, 4 with each other and aligning the recesses 43, 43 with each other, and the bolt insertion hole 63 formed in the one horizontal rail 61. And is screwed into a screw hole 64 formed in the other horizontal rail 61. The vertical rails 62 are arranged between the adjacent horizontal rails 61, 61, and are arranged on both sides sandwiching the abutting points of the collar bodies 4, 4 like the horizontal rail 61 described above. The vertical rails 62, 62 are fastened by screwing and fastening them with fastening bolts (not shown). A block group constituted by arranging a predetermined number of light-transmitting blocks 1 ... Vertically and horizontally as described above is integrated by a frame member 8 arranged around the blocks to form a light-transmitting block unit U. The sex block unit U is attached to the wall W (FIG. 1), for example.

When such a translucent block unit U is mounted on a partition of a wall or a room, an outer fence (fence), a roofing material, a skylight, etc., as shown in FIG. It is possible to attach the joint material 9 in the gap between them to form the joint. Since the joint material 9 in the figure has the bifurcated clamp portion 91 and the joint portion 92 integrally formed, the clamp portion 91 is engaged with the engaging protrusions 65, 65 provided on the horizontal rails 61, 61. As a result, the joint portion 92 is held in the above-mentioned gap, and the joint portion 92 is elastically contacted with the corner portions of the block bodies 2, 2. It is needless to say that the coupling structure of the translucent blocks 1 and 1 when the translucent blocks 1 and 1 are arranged vertically and horizontally is not limited to the example shown in the figure.

Since both the outer wall 21 of the block body 2 and the substance filled in the inner space of the block body 2 described above have a light-transmitting property, the light-transmitting block 1 constituted by them is naturally It has translucency. Therefore, it can be suitably used in a place where daylight is required. In addition, even though the block body 2 is made of synthetic resin, the transparent space 3 is filled in the internal space of the block body 2, so that it may be described as "bumpy" even when hit. No sound is produced and dents due to pressing force are less likely to occur.

[0023]

[Effect of device]

 Since the translucent block of the present invention has translucency, it can be used in a wide range of applications such as walls and interior partitions, fences, roofing materials, skylights, etc., which are required to have lighting in buildings. Is.

The translucent block according to the first aspect of the present invention has the effect of not producing a sound that is described as “bumpy” even when tapped, so that it is equivalent to a glass block even though it is made of synthetic resin. It is possible to have a profound feeling. Also, by selecting the shade of the translucent material appropriately, a translucent block with a different shade can be obtained, or by adding a pattern by scattering foreign substances in the translucent material, the patterned translucent light can be obtained. There is also an advantage that it is easy to obtain a sex block.

Further, in the translucent block of the invention of claim 2, since it is possible to carry the lightweight block main body to the construction site separately from the translucent material, not only the transportation cost is low, but also It is also easy to handle during construction. Nevertheless, there is an effect that no sound, which is described as "bumpy", is produced even if it is hit in the usage condition after construction, that is, in a form in which the inner space of the block body is filled with a transparent material. There is also an effect that the hollow synthetic resin block body can be easily and inexpensively manufactured by a general technique such as injection molding, blow molding, or laminating.
