Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fitting structure of blocks, by using connecting tools as a member separated from the blocks and fitting the connecting tools between the blocks put in order and fixing them. SOLUTION: In a fitting structure of blocks such as tiles to a base through connecting tools, edges 3 of blocks 1 along the periphery thereof are made lower than the top face 2 thereof to form a step 4, and the connecting tool 10 is composed of a fixing part 11 hooked between the steps of adjacent blocks and a pin 15 extended from the fixing part 11, and the pin 15 is put into the gap between the steps of adjacent blocks to fix the blocks to the base. Since blocks such as tiles can be restrictively positioned easily in the state that a number of these blocks are arranged, a number of blocks can be easily fitted. And as steps are formed at the periphery and recessed grooves are formed between adjacent blocks, these grooves can be used as passage ways of rainwater or the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a mounting structure of a block such as a tile used side by side on a base without any gap.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, blocks, such as tiles, which are used side by side on a base without any gap, have a structure in which one and the other of the connecting members are attached to opposite edges, for example. Locked and connected. Therefore, the structure of the peripheral portion of the block is complicated, and the cost has been increased.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main problems are as follows.
An object of the present invention is to provide a block mounting structure in which a connecting tool is separated from a block, and the connecting tool can be mounted between the aligned blocks and restrained.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in a structure in which a block such as a tile is attached to a base via a connecting member, an edge of the block is attached to a top surface of the block. A step portion is formed at a lower position, and a connecting member is provided between the step portion of the adjacent block and a hook portion extending between the step portions, and extends from the hook portion and enters a gap between the step portions. And a pin fixed to the base. According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a technical means in which a step is formed continuously along the outer periphery of the block. Further, in the invention according to claim 3, the hooking portion is set to a size that can be fitted with almost no gap in the width direction of the recessed portion formed by the step portions of the adjacent blocks. Have taken strategic steps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the block mounting structure of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The mounting structure of the block includes a block 1 and a connector 10.

The block 1 is made of a tile having a rectangular shape in a plane, and the step 3 is formed by setting the edge 3 of the block to be lower than the top surface 2 of the block. Here, the planar shape of the block 1 is rectangular, but the shape is not particularly limited in the present invention, and may be polygonal, circular, elliptical,
Any other shape can be used, but it is preferable that the shape be such that blocks having the same shape can be arranged almost without gaps when they are arranged vertically and horizontally.

Next, the step portion 4 formed in the block 1
A step portion 4 is formed in series along the outer periphery of the block 1, and the lower edge portion 3 is formed so as to have the same horizontal plane over four sides. In the illustrated example, the step is formed annularly along the outer periphery, but may be a part of the outer periphery. For example, one side, or two opposite sides, another 1
Alternatively, steps may be formed on a plurality of sides.

As described above, the blocks 1 can be arranged on the base 8 continuously in the vertical and / or horizontal direction with almost no gap. Here, the base 8 is not particularly limited in the present invention. In the illustrated example, the base 8 is the ground itself, but a base made of plastic or other material may be used.

Next, the connector 10 comprises a hook 11 and a pin 15 hanging at the center thereof. Hook 11
Are fitted between the step portions 4 of the adjacent blocks 1 and formed so that the bottom portions abut against the upper surfaces of the edges 3 and 3 of the respective blocks 1 so that they can be restrained. In the illustrated example, the shape is a plane circular shape, but the shape can be set to a plane square, a rectangle, or any other shape.

At the center of the hook 11, a pin 15 is integrally fixed and hung. The pin portion 15 is inserted between the outer ends of the edges 3, 3 of the adjacent blocks 1, 1 and locked to the base 8. In this embodiment, the pin 1
5 has a sharp tip, so that it can be inserted as it is when the base 8 is the ground such as soil. A hook-shaped stopper may be provided at the tip of the pin portion 15.

Further, a separate plate or frame may be used as the base 8. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the pin 15 may be fixed by cutting the tip into the base 8, or may be a locking component 9 that locks the tip of the pin 15 at a corresponding portion of the base 8. And the pin 15
A corresponding locking component 16 may also be provided at the tip of the connector, and both may be locked to hold the connecting tool 10. For example, it is possible to use a known structure in which a dovetail groove 9 is formed at a predetermined location of the base 8, and the tip of the pin portion 15 is fitted into the dovetail groove 9 as an elastic hook 16 and locked. it can. Further, the outer periphery of the base 8 may be a constraining wall protruding so as to constrain the outside of the plurality of blocks 1, 1,.

In this embodiment, the blocks are arranged vertically and horizontally without any gaps, and their positions are restricted to be used as a treadle. However, the use of the blocks in the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. In addition, it goes without saying that various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0013]

According to the present invention, since a large number of blocks such as tiles can be easily restrained and positioned in a state of being arranged, a large number of blocks can be easily attached. Also, since a step is formed on the outer periphery and a concave groove is formed between adjacent blocks, it can be used as a flow path for rainwater or the like.
