Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative floor material to be laid on a floor such as a veranda or a balcony exposed outside a building.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, in the outdoor part such as a veranda of a building, the floor surface is sometimes covered with a floor decorative material for the purpose of protection of the floor surface, aesthetics, and comfort. A plurality of the formed square unitized floor decorative materials are arranged and arranged on the floor in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0003]

However, since the tiles and the wood itself do not have water permeability, when rain is applied to the floor decorative material laid on an outdoor veranda or the like, rainwater is applied to the upper surface of the floor decorative material. Will remain for a long time. When a building is a house, humans often walk barefoot on a veranda or the like, and if the upper surface of the floor cosmetics is wet with rainwater, the feeling is poor.
In order to improve the drainage of this remaining rainwater, the size of the floor cosmetic material unit may be reduced, slits for drainage may be formed in the unit, or a large number of grooves may be formed on the surface of wood or the like. However, some rainwater remains on the upper surface of the floor decorative material. For this reason, the feeling is poor and the manufacturing cost and the construction cost are high.

[0004] In addition, by applying a pattern or color to the surface of the floor decorative material, various patterns, figures, characters, and the like can be formed in a state of being laid, and an aesthetic effect may be exerted. However, in the case of a floor decorative material composed of conventional tile units, the entire unit can be made the same color or the like, but it is difficult to form a pattern or the like in one unit. Although it is possible to divide one unit into smaller elements and color-code each element, it is necessary to connect the divided elements, which complicates the structure of the unit.

[0005] For this reason, conventionally, when it is desired to form a pattern or the like, the size of one unit cannot be increased, and the production and construction costs have been increased. Further, in the case of a floor covering material made of wood, there is a problem in durability since it gradually corrodes under rainwater. When connecting parts for connecting the units protrude outward from the outer peripheral edge of the unit, the connecting parts hinder the handling such as transportation.

[0006] As a technique related to the present invention, the present applicant has mixed resin and aggregate in a container-like box body composed of a bottom plate having a drainage function and a frame provided on the periphery of the bottom plate. A decorative board with a water-permeable decorative member inside was proposed. However, since this decorative panel is used for approaching a building or laying on a pavement, no consideration is given to a configuration for laying on a floor such as a veranda.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and even if rain is applied to a floor covering material spread on a floor surface of an outdoor part such as a veranda exposed to the outside of a building, rainwater is not removed. An object of the present invention is to provide a floor decorative material that can be quickly and positively flowed downward without leaving it on the upper surface of the floor decorative material, and can always maintain a good feel on the upper surface of the floor decorative material.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a floor decorative material according to the present invention is a floor decorative material which is constructed and arranged on a floor surface of an outdoor part which is exposed to the outdoors and is laid out. Further, in a concave portion formed on the upper side of a main body member having a drainage function molded of a synthetic resin having a predetermined rigidity, a granular aggregate is fixed to each other with a resin and a decorative member having water permeability is accommodated. The main body member includes a bottom plate having a first flow path, formed in a polygonal shape and arranged substantially parallel to the floor surface, and a frame provided on the entire periphery of the bottom plate, The upper portion of the frame and the upper surface of the bottom plate form the recess, and the lower portion of the frame and the lower surface of the bottom plate form a lower space, and a space between the lower portion of the frame and the floor surface. Has a second flow path formed therein.

In the floor decorative material, the first flow path is a plurality of through holes formed throughout the substantially flat bottom plate, and has a height substantially equal to or lower than the height of the lower portion of the frame. And a plurality of reinforcing members provided over the entire bottom plate are integrally formed so as to protrude downward from the bottom plate while being positioned in the vicinity of the through hole, and the second flow path is formed by the frame body. It is preferably formed by a cutout provided at the lower edge of the lower part.

[0010] In the floor decorative material, a partition plate of a predetermined shape having substantially the same height as the upper portion of the frame body and partitioning the recess is provided on the main body member, and the decorative member having the different types of aggregates is provided. It is preferable that the partition plate is used for partitioning so that it can be stored in the recess.

In a preferred embodiment, the floor decorative material is a square or a rectangle having a side length of about 250 to about 450 mm, and a material of the main body member is a bulk molding compound, a sheet molding compound, or a stampable sheet.

7 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line VII-VII of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, a building 1 such as a house is often provided with a veranda 2 as an outdoor part which constitutes the building 1 and is exposed to the outside. There is provided a window 4 for exiting to the location 2. A substantially flat floor surface 3 is formed on the veranda 2 made of concrete, and a plurality of unitized floor decorative materials 5 are laid out in the vertical and horizontal directions on the floor surface 3. The floor surface 3 to which the floor decorative material 5 is attached is a hard surface, for example, in a concrete state or in a state in which the surface of the concrete is covered with a waterproof sheet such as rubber, polyethylene or soft vinyl chloride for waterproofing. ing. In the present embodiment,
Although the veranda 2 is shown as an outdoor part, a balcony, a terrace, a rooftop, or the like may be used as long as it is an outdoor part that constitutes the building 1 and is exposed to the outside and has a substantially flat floor surface 3. .

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG.
Has a configuration in which a concave portion 7 is formed on the upper side of a main body member 6 having a drainage function and molded from a synthetic resin having a predetermined rigidity, and a decorative member 9 is housed in the concave portion 7. The decorative member 9 has water permeability because the granular aggregates 8 are fixed to each other with a resin. The main body member 6 includes a bottom plate 10 having a first flow path, formed in a polygonal shape, and arranged substantially parallel to the floor surface 3, and a frame 11 provided on the entire periphery of the bottom plate 10. ing. Although the case where the bottom plate 10 and the frame 11 are integrally formed is shown, a configuration in which separate members are combined may be used. Also, the bottom plate 10 is shown as being formed in a substantially flat plate shape, but may be formed in a shape other than a flat plate.

The frame 11 is provided with a bottom plate 10 which is oriented substantially horizontally.
Are formed substantially perpendicular to and integrally with each other, the bending moment when a load is applied to the upper surface of the floor decorative material 5 is increased, and the rigidity of the entire main body member 6 is increased. In the main body member 6, the upper portion 12 of the frame 11 and the bottom plate 1
The lower surface 14 of the frame 11 and the lower surface 15 of the bottom plate 10 form the recess 7.
6 is formed, and a second flow path is formed between the lower frame portion 14 and the floor surface 3. Apply floor decorative material 5 to floor 3
When laid on the top, the frame upper part 12 corresponds to the joint.
The main body member 6 can be almost used as long as it is a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin and has high rigidity. Preferably, BMC (bulk molding compound) or SMC is used.
It is preferable to use a reinforced plastic molded product such as a sheet molding compound (MC) or a stabbable sheet.

The decorative member 9 has water permeability by mixing the granular aggregate 8 and a resin, and fixing and combining the aggregates 8 with each other. That is, the decorative member 9 is
By making the granular aggregates 8 point-contact with each other with a small amount of resin, a large number of voids are formed inside, so that water can quickly pass through these voids. The decorative member 9 is a natural pebble having a diameter of about 2 to about 6 mm (hereinafter referred to as a natural stone).
Preferably, the natural stones 8 are fixed to each other by using a resin having a mixing ratio of about 3 to about 10% by weight using Ag as an aggregate. The mixing ratio of the resin is a ratio of the weight of the resin to the weight of the aggregate, and is appropriately determined depending on the type and size of the aggregate, the type of the resin, and the like. When the mixing ratio of the resin is less than about 3% by weight, the bonding strength is weakened, so that the aggregates are not sufficiently bonded to each other. When the mixing ratio of the resin exceeds about 10% by weight, the resin cannot be used. By filling the voids, sufficient water permeability cannot be exhibited. Therefore, the mixing ratio of the resin is preferably about 3 to about 10% by weight.

The material of the resin may be any as long as it functions as a binder for binding and holding the aggregate. For example, unsaturated polyester, acrylic resin, epoxy resin and the like are generally used. As the aggregate, natural stone 8 having a round shape as a whole is preferable in terms of feel, but inorganic particles such as crushed stone, sand, gravel, and crushed ceramic may be used. When the aggregate is natural stone 8, if an acrylic resin or an epoxy resin is used as a resin mixed with the natural stone 8, the natural stone 8 and the resin can be mixed and fixed at room temperature. Therefore, the heating operation is not required at the time of mixing, the handling is simple, and there is no fear that the synthetic resin body member 6 is deformed by heat. Means for storing the decorative member 9 in the concave portion 7 of the main body member 6 is to fill the concave portion 7 at a stage before the natural stone 8 and the resin are mixed and hardened, or to insert the decorative member 9 previously molded by another mold. This is performed by fitting into the recess 7.

The main body member 6 having a drainage function can discharge rainwater or water that has flowed down the gap inside the decorative member 9 having water permeability to the outside without accumulating in the concave portion 7 of the main body member 6. Configuration. For this purpose, the bottom plate 10 has a plurality of through holes 20 as a first flow path.
Is formed throughout the bottom plate 10, a lower space 16 is formed below the bottom plate 10, and a notch 21 forming a second flow path is provided at a lower end edge 23 of the lower frame portion 14. I have. When the rigidity of the bottom plate 10 is sufficiently high, the bottom plate 10 may be formed in a lattice shape instead of the through hole 20 as the first flow path provided in the bottom plate 10.

A reinforcing member 22 is formed in the vicinity of the through hole 20 and is formed integrally with the bottom plate 10 so as to protrude downward. The reinforcing member 22 has substantially the same or slightly lower height h ₁ to the height h of the frame bottom 14, which and provided in a plurality across the entire bottom plate 10. Therefore, even if a person rides on the floor decorative material 5 and a load is applied to the bottom plate 10, the bottom plate 1
Zero deflection can be suppressed to a predetermined value or less. In addition, since the reinforcing member 22 has a shape in which the base portion is thick and gradually becomes thinner toward the tip, it exhibits a large strength, and at the time of manufacturing and forming a mold for forming the body member 6. The mold is easily detached. Reinforcing member 22
, Four (or two, three, etc.) sets of elongate through holes 20 are radially arranged. Since the strength of the portion where the strength is reduced due to the formation of the through hole 20 is increased by reinforcing the reinforcing member 22 at the center thereof, even if a load is applied to the bottom plate 10, cracks or the like may occur in the portion of the through hole 20. Can be prevented from occurring.

The overall planar shape of the unitized polygonal floor decorative material 5 is, for example, a triangle, a quadrangle (square, rectangle, rhombus, etc.), a pentagon, a hexagon, or the like. Has a side length B of about 250 to about 45.
A square or rectangular shape of 0 mm (square in this embodiment) is preferable in that workability when laying on the veranda 2 is good. The natural stone 8 having a depth d of the recess 7 of about 2 to about 6 mm, a diameter of about 2 to about 6 mm and a depth d of the recess 7 or less.
Is preferable because the decorative member 9 can be stored in the concave portion 7 without protruding above the upper portion 12 of the frame.

The material of the main body member 6 is BMC, SMC.
Alternatively, the thickness e of the bottom plate 10 is set to about 3
When the width t of the frame body 11 is set to about 2 mm, the frame body 11 has a sufficient bending moment, and the bottom plate 10 is reinforced by the plurality of reinforcing members 22. The plate 5 exhibits sufficient rigidity even when a load such as a human weight is applied. The height h of the frame body lower portion 14 (that is, the depth of the lower space 16) is about 2 to about 2 in consideration of the amount of rainwater flowing into the lower space 16 through the through hole 20 of the bottom plate 10. Preferably it is 10 mm. The notch 21 formed at the lower edge 23 of the lower frame 14 is formed at least two on each side of the frame 11. As a result, rainwater or water can be quickly drained from the inside of the lower space 16 to the outside of the frame 11, and the notches 21 allow the unevenness of the floor surface 3 to escape to some extent. The material 5 is stabilized.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, in the floor decorative material 5 of the present invention, an engaged portion 31 is formed on the lower surface near each top 30 of the polygonal main body member 6. Connecting the floor decorative materials 5 on the floor surface 3 with elasticity in a state where the tops 30 face each other with the floor decorative materials 5 arranged side by side.
By engaging the second engaging portion 33 with the engaged portion 31, the floor decorative materials 5 are connected to each other. When the planar shape of the floor decorative material 5 is a square (or a rectangle such as a rectangle or a rhombus) as in the present embodiment, the connecting member 32 connects the four engaging portions 33 regularly arranged at predetermined positions. Have.

The lower surface 35 of the connecting member 32 is formed in a flat shape so as to be in close contact with the floor surface 3. The engaging portion 33 of the connecting member 32 is formed in a convex shape so as to removably engage with the engaged portion 31 of the main body member 6. The elastic connecting member 32 is formed of rubber, a rubber-based synthetic resin, or the like in order to exhibit a function as a cushion material.

Since the main body member 6 is supported by the connecting member 32 and is lifted from the floor surface 3, a gap 43 is formed between the main body member 6 and the floor surface 3. Therefore, the gap 43 together with the notch 21 also constitutes the second flow path. The engaged portion 31 of the main body member 6 is formed in a concave shape on the lower surface 34 of the main body member 6 so as not to protrude outward from the outer peripheral edge of the main body member 6. The engaged portion 31 does not interfere. In addition, the engaged portion 31 of the main body member 6 is formed in a convex shape,
The engaging portion 33 of the connecting member 32 is formed in a concave shape,
3 may be detachably engaged with the engaged portion 31.

FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view of a decorative floor material showing a modification of the present embodiment. Note that the same or corresponding parts as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. FIG.
In the floor decorative materials 5a to 5d shown in (A) to (D), the partition members 40a to 40d having the same height as the frame body upper part 12 and partitioning the recessed part 7 are provided with the main body member 6. Are provided on the main body members 6a to 6d, respectively. The partition plates 40a to 40d function as joints, and can partition decorative members 9, 9a having the same or different types of natural stones 8.

For example, a plurality of decorative members 9 and 9a having different types of natural stones 8 such as colors and diameters are partitioned by the floor decorative materials 5a to 5d of one unit by the partition plates 40a to 40d and stored in the concave portions 7. And a partition plate 4
A joint pattern can be created by making 0a to 40d various shapes. This makes it possible to freely and easily form a predetermined pattern, figure, character, or the like based on a joint pattern in a single unit with a simple structure. Cost can be reduced. In addition, since it is possible to freely express patterns and the like as the whole floor decorative material laid on the floor 3, it is possible to provide a floor decorative material that is rich in change and exhibits an aesthetic effect.

1 to 8, a floor decorative material 5 (including floor decorative materials 5a to 5d; the same applies hereinafter) of the present invention is applied to a floor surface 3.
When performing the construction work of laying on the floor, a plurality of floor decorative materials 5 are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions and the tops 30 face each other, and the engaging portion 33 of the connecting member 32 is connected to the main body member 6 (the main body members 6a to 6d are The same applies to the following.) The floor decorative materials 5 are connected to each other by being engaged with the engaged portion 31). Thereby, the plurality of floor decorative materials 5 are spread on the floor surface 3 in a state where they are firmly connected to each other via the connecting members 32. Since the width of the joint formed by the frame upper portion 12 is narrow, it is as if the natural stones 8 are laid all over the veranda 2 and the aesthetic effect is sufficiently exhibited.

The connecting member 32 which is placed on the floor 3 and supports the floor decorative material 5 has a cushioning function. The lower side space 16 is formed below the floor decorative material 5 and cut off. Since the notch 21 is also formed, even if the floor surface 3 has irregularities, the floor decorative material 5 can be laid in a stable state without rattling. When attaching the floor decorative material 5 to the floor surface 3, an unnecessary portion of the connecting member 32 protruding outward from the side surface of the main body member 6 located at the end may be cut and removed.

When a person rides on the floor decorative material 5 thus spread, the floor decorative material 5 bends to some extent. However, when the reinforcing member 22 contacts the floor surface 3, the floor decorative material 5 does not bend any more. Does not break. If the main body member 6 is formed of a material having high rigidity, the reinforcing member 22 can be omitted.

Since the veranda 2 is exposed outside, the floor decorative material 5 may be rained 41 in some cases. In this case, the rainwater 42 passes through the interior of the water-permeable decorative member 9, falls through the through hole 20 of the bottom plate 10, and falls into the lower space 16,
Notch 21 and gap 43 between main body member 6 and floor 3
Spills out through In this way, even if the floor decorative material 5 is wet by the rain 41 or the like, the decorative member 9 has water permeability and the main body member 6 has a drainage function. It can be flown down quickly and positively without leaving. Even when a large amount of rainwater 42 flows into the lower space 16 through the decorative member 9 due to bad weather or the like, since the notch 21 is formed, the rainwater 42 can be externally supplied from the notch 21 in addition to the gap 43. Can be discharged.

This makes it possible to keep the upper surface of the floor decorative material 5 dry and smooth so as to maintain a good feel.
You can walk comfortably barefoot on the. As described above, since the floor decorative material 5 itself is well drained, the unit size of the floor decorative material 5 can be made larger than before, and
The drainage slits and surface groove processing that have conventionally been provided become unnecessary. Since the depth d of the concave portion 7 can be reduced while the height f of the main body member 6 is set to a required predetermined size, the amount of the expensive natural stone 8 can be minimized. Therefore,
Manufacturing and construction costs can be reduced.

In the decorative floor material 5 of the present invention, since a space containing a large amount of air is formed inside the decorative member 9 and the lower side space 16 is also formed, for example, the floor decorative material 5 is exposed by the summer sun. Even if the surface is heated, the temperature rise of the floor 3 is suppressed by the heat insulating effect of the floor decorative material 5 itself. as a result,
The temperature rise in the room of the building 1 can be reduced, and when a waterproof sheet is affixed to the floor 3, the waterproof sheet can be protected. Also, since the entire floor decorative material 5 is made of synthetic resin and natural stone 8, etc.,
It does not corrode even in the event of rainwater and has excellent durability. In addition,
The same reference numerals in the drawings indicate the same or corresponding parts.

[0034]

As described above, the present invention is constructed as described above, so that even if rain is applied to the floor covering material laid on the floor of the outdoor part such as a veranda, rainwater does not remain on the upper surface of the floor covering material. The surface of the floor decorative material can be always kept in a good feel by flowing quickly downward.
