Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a member that closes the gap between the sill and the tatami that is created when the tatami is laid.

When laying tatami indoors, the difference between tatami and tatami may vary depending on the number of tatami buildings, differences in the shape of the room and the dimensions of the tatami, and even by placing tatami of different standards, such as the size of a housing complex, between Kanto or Kansai. Gaps may occur between the sill, between the tatami and the wall, and between the tatami.

This gap not only spoils the beauty of the tatami mat, but also causes problems such as small items falling into it and dust accumulating in it, so it is necessary to close it.

As a means to do this, for example, as shown in Fig. 1, the tatami mats 1 are laid in a certain direction, the gaps are concentrated at the sill 3, and the gaps 2 are filled with long crossbars of approximately the same width ( It is conceivable to plug it in (not shown) and close it.

However, with this method, when working on tatami flooring, the crossbars must be processed to fit the gaps, which makes the work complicated.

In addition, in recent years, with the spread of aluminum sash,
They are increasingly constructed from extruded materials such as aluminum.

In such a case, blocking the gap with the above-mentioned crossbars would cause an imbalance with the aluminum members, which would significantly impair the aesthetics.
Development of other components is required.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and is composed of a closing member that closes the gap that occurs between the sill and the tatami mat, and a holding member that is attached to the sill and holds the closing member within the gap. , a new component that can be mass-produced in advance at a factory, is easy to install, and does not impair its beauty,
An object of the present invention is to provide a daytime gap closing member for a sill that is suitable for being attached to a sill made of an extruded material.

In order to achieve this objective, the daytime gap closing member for the sill of the present invention has the following configurations:
a holding member that is attached to the sill and holds the closing member within the gap; (c) The holding member is in contact with the top and side surfaces of the sill frame, and the installation allows the vertical part of the closing member to be inserted into the gap. The holding member has an inverted cross-sectional shape, and 2) a pair of engaging portions are formed on the holding member for inserting and engaging the vertical end of the closing member within the gap.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state in which a gap closing member constituting an embodiment of the present invention is attached to a sill.

In the figure, the gap closing member of the present invention is composed of a closing member 5 and a holding member 6.

The closing member 5 is made of an extruded material such as aluminum, and consists of a plate-shaped horizontal portion 7 and a vertical portion 8 that is integrally hung from the lower surface of the horizontal portion.

The horizontal part 7 has a width wider than the gap 2, and in its cross section, one end is a sill overlapping part 7a, the middle part is a gap closing member 7b, and the other end is a folding part 7c.

The sill overlapping part 7a is placed on the end of the sill 3, for example on the gutter end 3b in the case of a sill 3 with a groove 3a as shown in FIG.

The tatami stacking part 7c is formed by bending its side surface downward, and the bent part is placed on the end of the tatami 1 to cover the tatami 1.

Of course, the sides do not necessarily need to be bent.

The horizontal part 7 is placed on the sill 3 and the tatami 1 by this tatami stacking part 7c and the sill stacking part 7a, and the gap closing part 7b in the middle part is placed on the sill 3 and the tatami 1.
covers gap 2.

In addition, by making the width of the folded tatami portion 7c wide, it is advantageous to be able to cope with the different widths of the gap 2.

The vertical portion 8 is configured as partially hanging pieces 8a and 8b, and a first locking piece 9 that projects obliquely upward is provided at the tip of the hanging piece 8a on the left side in the drawing. A second locking piece 10 that projects diagonally downward is provided at the tip of the right hanging piece 8b.

Further, the base of the hanging piece 8b is provided as a fitting portion 11 perpendicular to the horizontal portion 7, and the second locking piece 10 is connected to this fitting portion 11.

The appropriate contact portion 11 is configured in a plate shape, and the side end surface of the tatami 1 comes into contact with it.

Incidentally, the vertical portion 8 may be configured in a T-shape as shown in FIG. 3 instead of having two hanging pieces as in this embodiment. Contact part 11
will be set up consecutively.

The holding member 6 has, for example, a rectangular cross-section, and includes first and second locking receiving portions 12 corresponding to the locking pieces 9 and 10,
13 and constitutes the sill 3 or a part of the sill
mounted on.

The first locking receiving part 12 is provided above and consists of a protrusion or protrusion that projects obliquely downward, and engages with the first locking piece 9 to restrict upward movement of the horizontal part 7. do.

The second locking portion 13 is provided below, prevents from a protrusion or protrusion projecting diagonally upward, engages with the second locking piece 10, and restricts the downward movement of the horizontal portion 7. At the same time, the proper contact portion 11 shares a part of the lateral pressure received from the tatami mat 1.

This holding member 6 can be formed by extrusion of aluminum or the like, press working, etc., but unlike the horizontal part 7, it does not necessarily have to be long.

It is sufficient to arrange a plurality of short pieces on the threshold 3 at appropriate intervals.

To attach it to the sill, screw holes are provided at appropriate locations and it is fixed with screws 14, or it is fixed with adhesive.

Note that the holding member 6 may be integrated with the threshold 3, for example, as shown in FIG.

In this case, it is constructed of extruded material such as aluminum along with the sill, and can be conveniently attached together with the sill.

Further, the holding member 6 can be attached not only to one side of the sill but also to both sides, and therefore, the gap closing member of the present invention can be attached to both sides of the sill.

The gap closing member of the present invention can be installed by screwing or gluing the holding member 6 to the sill before laying the tatami 1 indoors, or by attaching the holding member 6 between the sill 3 and the tatami 1 after the tatami 1 is laid. Insert the holding member 6 into the gap 2 and attach it to the sill in the same manner as above.

Then, in the former case, a tatami mat is laid, and in the latter case, the closing member 5 is fitted into the gap 2 as it is.

Fitting is carried out by engaging the first and second locking pieces 9 and 10 with the first and second locking receiving parts 12 and 13, respectively, and
and the tatami stacking part 7c are placed on the sill 3 and the tatami 1, respectively.

Note that removal can be more easily carried out by lifting the folded folded portion 7c with a screwdriver, nail puller, or the like.

In addition, although the above-mentioned embodiment showed an example applied to a sill with a groove, the present invention can be similarly applied to a sill with a rail.

Moreover, it is not limited to a sill made of extruded aluminum or the like, but can also be attached to a conventional wooden sill.

The gap closing member of the sill tatami volume according to the present invention is as explained above: (a) Not only the closing member but also the holding member can be installed after the tatami is laid, and no special processing is required on site. (b) The closing member can be easily installed by pushing it in, and it can be engaged securely, improving the ability to close the gap. Moreover, it has the effect of harmonizing the design with the thresholds of extruded materials such as aluminum, which have become popular in recent years.
