Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a connecting tool for connecting slatted boards to form a slatted board, and is particularly for connecting slatted boards having longitudinal grooves on both sides of the lower surface. be.

Conventionally, plastic grating boards used in bathrooms and the like are made of styrene resin, etc., and the connections are made by welding similar materials together or incorporating notches, or by fixing them with connectors made of semi-hard resin, etc. There were many things.

For this reason, slatted slats are sold in the form of fixed-sized sheets, and the purchaser must cut them according to the size of the area in which they will be used. Also, when cleaning under the slatted boards during use, the entire slatted board must be cut. Had to lift and clean.

Moreover, since the slatted boards are connected in a fixed manner, if the connections are not good, they may creak or shift, making it uncomfortable.

The present invention takes into consideration these inconvenient processing, delivery, installation, maintenance, and sanitary aspects, and has been devised to make each of them easier to handle.The following describes one implementation example shown in the drawing.

1 is a connector, and 2 is a slatted board. The slatted board is made of styrene resin, etc., and has a flat upper surface, and grooves 3 are formed on the lower surface along the longitudinal direction on both left and right edges. This groove is constituted by a rising edge 6 having a pair of left and right protrusions 5 so as to sandwich the opening 4.

The connector 1 is made of a bendable material such as soft rubber or plastic, and is hollowed out from a base 7 and a locking part 8, and the locking part 8 is inserted into the adjacent grooves 3, 3 of the two grating boards 2, 2. The intermediate portions 9 of the base portion 7 are provided with a predetermined interval spaced therebetween so as to fit together, and the intermediate portions 9 of the base portion 7 are made of a bendable material as described above, so that they are thin enough to be bent.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a non-slip member located on the lower surface of the base 7, that is, the surface opposite to the surface on which the locking portion 8 is provided, and is formed by protruding a large number of independent or continuous small protrusions.

The shape of the locking portion 8 is not particularly limited as long as it fits into the groove 3 of the grating board 2, but in this embodiment, it is made up of a pair of symmetrical legs having a wedge-shaped portion 11 on the upper side. The interval 12 between the two wedge-shaped portions 11 allows for secure fitting within the groove 3.

The coupling device 1 configured as described above and the slatted plate 2 can be connected by simply inserting the locking portion 8 of the coupling device 1 into the groove 3 on the lower surface of the adjacent slatted plates 2, 2. It is possible to obtain slats.

In this case, it is preferable to use the connectors 1 at several locations depending on the length of the grating board 2.

The manufacturing method for connectors is usually injection molding, but if you want to be able to change the size of the connector depending on the application, you can mold it by extrusion molding and cut it to the optimal size for the application. If you use it under the same conditions, you can get it at a cheaper price.

Furthermore, the connecting device of the present invention is not only used as a connecting device, but also because it is made of light rubber or plastic, the anti-slip 10 cut out from small protrusions etc. becomes a ground surface when in use, and provides an anti-slip effect. In addition, since bendable soft material is used, it has the strength to fold or roll up while the slatted boards 2 are connected, which saves labor during storage, transportation, and delivery, and makes cleaning easier. In this case, the slats can also be rolled up and placed in a corner.

The slats of this invention are conventionally used in bathrooms, but since the embossed pattern on the surface can be freely applied to the thickness and color of the slatted board, it can also be used for flower stands, closets, balconies, etc. It is.
