Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a block floor material mainly made of rubber, which is used as a floor material for balconies or the like and constitutes a floor surface by laying an appropriate number of the materials vertically and horizontally.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a block floor material formed mainly of powdery rubber, those disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 6-47033 or Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-107654 are known. In the former publication, powdery granular rubber is solidified with a binder and molded into a rectangular plate having a predetermined thickness. In the latter publication, a rubber chip molded body is integrally attached to a synthetic resin base material using an adhesive. A large number of these block floor materials are laid side by side in the vertical and horizontal directions to form the floor surface. It is difficult to integrally form a dense connecting part in a molded body mainly composed of powdery rubber,
The block floor materials described in the above publications do not have means for interconnecting them.

Therefore, a block floor material in which the planar shape of the molded body is formed into a planar shape having an uneven portion so that adjacent ones are connected to each other by fitting the uneven portion,
A block floor material is also known in which a frame material having an interconnecting mechanism is prepared as a separate component, and a rubber molded body is assembled to the frame material so as to be interconnectable.

[0004]

By the way, the block floor materials described in the above publication do not have means for connecting them to each other, so that they cannot be connected to each other, and the integrity of the adjacent block floor materials is not improved. It was scarce and there was a problem that rattling was likely to occur due to unevenness of the floor base surface and expansion and contraction due to heat.

Further, since the block floor material formed in a planar shape having a concavo-convex portion so that adjacent ones can be connected to each other can be connected to each other by fitting the concavo-convex portion, the block flooring has a certain degree of integrity. Although it can be secured, since it is a concave-convex fitting made of a rubber molded product, the connecting strength cannot be sufficiently enhanced, and there is a problem that rattling is likely to occur when there is a large unevenness on the floor base surface.

[0006] Further, a block floor material in which a molded body is assembled to a frame material as a separate component so that they can be interconnected can obtain satisfactory results in terms of the connection function, but it requires a component cost and an assembly cost. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to firmly connect adjacent members to each other, improve the integrity of the floor surface, and manufacture at low cost. The purpose is to provide a possible block floor material.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a block floor material that constitutes a floor surface by arranging a plurality of them in a line in the vertical and horizontal directions on a floor base surface, and a rubber is used. And a connecting member that is inserted into the floor material main body when the floor material main body is molded, is integrated with the floor material main body, and connects the adjacent floor material main bodies to each other. I am trying.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the block floor material according to the first aspect, a surface finishing material is attached to the upper surface of the floor material body by heat fusion during molding of the floor material body. It is characterized by that.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the block floor material according to the second aspect, the peripheral edge portion of the surface finish material recedes inward from the peripheral edge portion of the floor material main body, whereby a step portion is formed on the upper peripheral edge portion. Is formed.

[0011]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the separately prepared connecting member is integrally provided to the floor material main body formed mainly of rubber, the block floor materials adjacent to each other when they are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions. Can be connected to each other by a connecting member.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the surface finishing material is attached by heat-sealing the floor material main body, the step of adhering the surface finishing material after molding the floor material main body can be omitted. .

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the step portion is formed in the peripheral portion of the upper surface, when the two are placed adjacent to each other, the step portions of both the block floor materials are used for drainage between the peripheral portions of the surface finish material. There is a groove.

Have a relationship that just fits. Also,
The projecting size of the male-side connecting member 5 is set to a size that fits securely into the connecting hole 3a of the female-side connecting member 3 and does not protrude from the lower surface of the flooring body 2.

Next, the operation will be described. When constructing the floor surface, when laying the block floor material 1 having the above-mentioned configuration on the floor foundation surface, the block floor materials 1 are sequentially laid while being arranged vertically and horizontally. In that case, when the next block floor material 1 is placed adjacent to the previously placed block floor material 1, one side of the previous block floor material 1 should be in contact with one side of the next block floor material 1. , The next block floor material 1 is lowered from above substantially horizontally.

At this time, the plate portion 3 b of the female side connecting member 3 is housed in the recess 4. Then, by repeating this step by step, a floor surface having a two-dimensional spread is completed.

As described above, the block floor materials 1 and 1 which are adjacent to each other can be connected to each other only by sequentially placing the block floor materials 1 from the top. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the integrity of the floor surface only by performing a simple work, and thereby to reduce the rattling of the floor surface. In addition, the block floor material 1 includes the floor material body 2 in which the connecting members 3 and 5 prepared separately from the floor material body 2 are incorporated into a molding die.
Since the connecting members 3 and 5 are integrated with the flooring material main body 2 by insert molding, it is not necessary to attach the connecting members 3 and 5 at the time of manufacturing, and the connecting members 3 and 5 can be freely attached. It can be easily selected and integrated. Therefore, unlike the case where the connecting portion (for example, the concave-convex fitting portion) is formed on the flooring material main body 2 itself, the connecting portion having a precise structure can be configured. Further, the connecting portion having the required specifications can be easily constructed.
