Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a square panel for panel-type floor construction.

Panel-type flooring is preferred when installing congested wiring bundles and cables under the floor, such as in electrical computer rooms, as well as in gymnasiums and martial arts halls.Such panel-type flooring is The construction is advantageously simplified by the vibration-proof support of the panel.

Conventionally, in floor assemblies that provide vibration-proof support for rectangular panels, the floor supports are supported by trapezoidal vibration damping bodies made of rubber or rubber-like elastic materials, and these floor supports are often adjustable in height using screws, so that the floor panels can be adjusted in height. The four edges of the floor panel, which is generally made in a square shape, are in close contact with the edges of the adjacent panel, in a so-called edge-to-edge condition. Since we took the example of arranging the square panels side by side, it is easy for the sides of the edges of the square panels to rub against each other, causing floor noise, and even if you try to avoid this by leaving a gap between the edges of the square panels, it will cause problems during construction. Alternatively, rectangular panels that shift during use may come into contact with each other, causing floor rumbling, and it is difficult to maintain a constant gap.

In order to create such a gap, attempts have been made to install spacers protruding from the sides along the edges of square panels. During transportation or installation, the spacers that protrude from the sides often come off due to minor collisions, and if they are nailed down, the nail heads can cause the floor to rumble.

Therefore, this idea was devised to securely mount the buffer spacer, which can be made of rubber or rubber-like material, so that it does not make a sound even if it rubs directly against the side surface of the square panel. The present invention proposes a rectangular panel for panel-type floor assembly, which eliminates disadvantages and makes it possible to easily secure a constant gap width between the edges of adjacent panels.

That is, this invention provides a rectangular panel for a panel-type floor assembly in which rectangular panels are laid as a floor base, and at least two of the side surfaces of the rectangular panel are provided with positioning tongue pieces along the back surface of the panel. A buffer having a rising height from a tongue piece that does not protrude to the top surface of a panel, a thickness corresponding to the gap between adjacent panels, and a length that is in direct contact with the side surface of an adjacent panel over a dimension much shorter than the side length of the panel. This is a rectangular panel for panel-type floor assembly that requires spacers, and the square panel allows for easy construction of panel-type floor assembly that does not cause floor noise.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a rectangular panel for panel-type floor assembly according to this invention, and also shows an example of a panel-type floor assembly structure using this panel.

In the figure, 1.1' and 1'' are rectangular panels of this invention, which are made in advance with the same dimensions in a rectangular shape using any compatible material such as plywood, composite plywood, particle board, wood wool cement board, veneer, or sandwich plywood. 2 is an anti-vibration support, 3 is a trapezoidal vibration damper, and 4 is a pedestal screw-fitted with the anti-vibration support 2.

In this invention, the square panel 1 has at least two sides,
In the illustrated example, at least one buffer spacer 5, in the illustrated example, a pair of buffer spacers 5 that directly contact the side surfaces of the adjacent panels 1', 1'' are fixedly attached to the side surfaces 1a, 1b that sandwich one corner, thereby making it possible to A constant gap g is uniformly formed between them.

As shown in FIG. 2, the buffer spacer 5 has an L-shaped cross section as a whole spanning the side surface, for example, the side surface 1b, and the back surface of the rectangular panel 1, and forms a rising portion along the side surface and a positioning tongue piece 6 along the back surface. , a rising height from the positioning tongue piece 6 that does not protrude to the upper surface of the square panel 1, a thickness corresponding to the gap between mutually adjacent panels, and direct contact with the side surface of the adjacent panel over a dimension much shorter than the side length of the panel. The length is as follows.

This buffer spacer 5 can be fixedly mounted along the side surfaces 1a and lb of the rectangular panel 1 using adhesive or other fixing means, but the positioning tongue piece 6 can also be glued to achieve this fixed mounting. In addition to serving to strengthen the structure, it is particularly desirable to provide the positioning tongue 6 with nails to the back surface of the rectangular panel 1.

The buffer spacer 5 may be hollow, or the hollow portion may be filled with a sponge cushion, and the sponge cushion 7 may be filled as shown in FIG.
By pasting it on the outer surface of the L-shaped spacer 5, or using the horizontal slit 8.
It is also preferable to carve on the outer surface of the L-shaped spacer 5 as shown in FIG. 4 to enhance the elasticity.

A floor assembly structure using square panels of this invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1, square panels 1, 1' and 1'' are all square panels of this invention and are similar to square panel 1.

Place a buffer spacer 5 on each rectangular panel 1.1' as shown in Figure 1.
, 1" on the sides 1a and 1b sandwiching one corner of the adjacent panel 1' to one square panel 1.
Or 1'' does not have the buffer spacer 5 on the side facing the buffer spacer 5, so they do not overlap, and when the side surfaces 1a and 1b correspond to the opposite edges of the rectangular panel. However, it is obvious that the relationship is exactly the same as above, and when the buffer spacers 5 are provided on three or all sides, each of the rectangular panels 1 and the adjacent panels 1' and 1'' facing each other. It is necessary to arrange and securely mount the buffer spacers 5 on the side surfaces in a staggered manner, but in any case, the floor assembly construction is such that the outer surface of the rising portion of the buffer spacer 5 is brought into direct contact with the side surface of the adjacent panel that faces it. Therefore, the total panel 1.1'
, 1", it is clear that a constant gap g can be ensured between the edges of the two sides.

As described above, this invention makes the entire rectangular panel 1.1' including the case where buffer spacers 5 are also provided on the remaining two sides of the rectangular panel other than the side surfaces 1a and 1b.

In order to form a uniform gap, it is essential to arrange the rectangular panels so that at least one buffer spacer 5 is interposed between the edges facing each other. be.

Therefore, as shown in the example, a rectangular panel 1.1', 1" la
, lb. When no buffer spacers 5 are provided on the remaining two sides of the panel 1, two buffer spacers 5 are provided on the opposite sides of the adjacent panels 1' and 1'' of the rectangular panel 1. Needless to say, all the panels arranged in a rectangular panel are interposed with such buffer spacers 5 to be laid out on the floor.

In this manner, according to this invention, the buffer spacer 5 only partially interposes its rising portion between the vibration-isolated and supported rectangular panels, thereby ensuring a constant gap between the edges of adjacent panels, and In addition to effectively preventing floor noise caused by the rubbing of the sides of the buffer spacer, it also has an L-shaped cross section that easily controls the positioning of the rising part in the height direction, so the rising part of the buffer spacer can be easily positioned on the rectangular panel. It does not protrude to the upper surface and interfere with floor finishing, and is especially useful for solid installation on rectangular panels, making it easy to install panel-type floor assemblies and preventing it from coming off or coming off during construction.
