Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a connector for parallel plate bodies suitable for connecting parallel plate bodies at their longitudinal ends.

(Prior art) Long plate-shaped bodies made of synthetic resins, metals, etc. have been used for various purposes such as flooring materials, bench materials, and drainboard materials. are used in parallel.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, since the plate-shaped bodies for parallel installation have a certain length, they do not necessarily fit the installation location, and therefore the dimensions of the installation location When installing a plurality of side-by-side plate-shaped bodies close to the longitudinal ends in order to match the length, or when installing plates cut into short lengths close to each other, it is necessary to Because it needs to be fixed on the top, an extra crosspiece is required, and there is also a disadvantage that the feel is not good due to the slight gap or misalignment that is formed between the ends when they are installed close together. Ta.

The present invention solves the drawbacks of the conventional technology, and allows for connecting a plurality of side-by-side plate-shaped bodies at their longitudinal ends, or for connecting plates cut into short lengths at their longitudinal ends. , can be adapted to the dimensions of the installation site, and
It is an object of the present invention to provide a connector for side-by-side plate-shaped bodies that can prevent detachment.

(Means for Solving the Problem) Next, the configuration of the connector for parallel plate bodies of the present invention will be described based on one embodiment with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the connector for parallel plate bodies of the present invention.

The connector 1 has plate-like bodies 2, 2 whose upper surfaces are substantially flat arranged in parallel, and hanging walls 3, 3 are formed on both side edges of each plate-like body 2, 2.
The lower ends of adjacent hanging walls 3.3 are connected by a bottom wall 7 to form a groove 8.

9 is a locking protrusion, and the longitudinal direction of the bottom wall 7 of the groove 8 is S.
``It is formed in the center in a direction perpendicular to the side edges.

The locking protrusion 9 is formed by raising the bottom wall 7, and the bottom wall 7 is provided with a through hole 6.

Projections 4, 4, . . . are formed on the outer surface of the hanging wall 3.

The protrusion 4 is provided in the shape of a tongue on at least one of the hanging walls 3, 3, with the tip 5 facing toward the center of the plate-like body 2.

In order to increase the connection strength, it is preferable to provide it on all hanging walls 3.3.

(Function) Fig. 2 shows an example of the use of the connector for parallel plate-shaped bodies of the present invention.

The side-by-side plate-like body 31 is a typical side-by-side plate-like body used for flooring and the like.

The side-by-side plate-like body 31 has leg plates 3°3 formed downward from both side edges of the surface plate 32, and a concave groove 34 extending in the longitudinal direction in the central part.
are formed, and locking pieces 35, 35 bent inward are formed at the lower ends of the leg plates 33, 33.

The groove 34 is used for inserting a fixing tool when fixing the side-by-side plate-shaped body 31 to the crosspiece.

That is, the surface of the plate-like body 2 of the connector 1 is brought into contact with the back surface of the surface plate 32 at the end of the parallel plate-like body 31, and the hanging wall 3°3 is brought into contact with the locking piece 35 of the leg plates 33, 33. Insert it along the .35,
Insert until the locking piece 9 abuts the longitudinal end of the groove 34.

At this time, if it is difficult to insert the connector 1 because the parallel plate-shaped body 31 is fixed to a crosspiece or the like, the connector 1 may be hammered in with a tool.

Next, another parallel plate member 31 to be connected is attached to the half of the connector 1 protruding from the end of the parallel plate member 31.
Insert and connect in the same way.

In the connecting device of the present invention, the width of the plate-like body 2, the height of the hanging wall 3, and the degree of protrusion of the protrusion 4 are determined according to the shape of the parallel plate-like bodies to be connected. Preferably, the connector 1 is made of a metal plate so that the tip 5 cannot be pulled out.

When the side-by-side plate-like bodies connected by the connectors of the present invention are used as flooring materials, permanent bench materials, and drainboard materials, rainwater and cleaning water tend to accumulate in the grooves 8, but water flows from the through holes 6. The strips will dry soon.

The plate-like bodies for parallel installation connected by the connector 1 in this way are used as flooring material, bench material, drainboard material, etc., which are arranged in parallel on the horizontal beams.

(Effect of the invention) The inventive coupling tool for side-by-side plate-like bodies has the structure as described above, and can be used for side-by-side installation by simply inserting it into the longitudinal end of the side-by-side plate-like bodies. The plate-like bodies can be connected to each other, and the protrusion whose tip faces toward the center of the plate-like body in the longitudinal direction is inserted into the side-by-side plate-like body, so that it will not come off.

Therefore, in cases where the length of the installation site is large and it is necessary to connect parallel installation plates, or when short lengths are used in conjunction, the appropriate length of parallel installation plates may be wasted. Construction can be carried out without excessively increasing the number of fixed beams.

Furthermore, by providing the locking protrusion, it is possible to connect the side-by-side plate-shaped bodies without imbalance in their insertion lengths.
The through holes formed to provide the locking protrusions serve as drains from the grooves where rainwater and the like tend to accumulate, and are not noticeable from the surface of the plate-shaped body for parallel installation.
