Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connecting device for decking materials used for longitudinally connecting decking materials used as flooring materials for verandas and balconies, as shown in FIG.

It is often necessary to connect the decking materials in the longitudinal direction on balconies and balconies, but in the past, because the longitudinal ends of the decking materials were simply butted together, a gap was created at the butted part.
In addition to spoiling the aesthetics, they also had the disadvantage that they were dangerous for people to get their feet caught in, and that rainwater could seep in through the gaps.

The present invention provides a connecting device for decking materials that can overcome these drawbacks. Therefore, the connecting device for decking materials according to the present invention consists of a cover plate that covers the upper surface of each opposing longitudinal end of two left and right decking materials installed in parallel in the longitudinal direction; and insertion portions provided below both sides in the transverse direction of the decking material, and each of the insertion portions includes:
The gist of the device is ``a connecting device for deck materials, which has bifurcated clamping pieces on the left and right sides that can clamp the corresponding left and right side pieces of the two left and right deck materials.'' be.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows a connector for connecting single type decking materials as an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the single-type decking material refers to a decking material that does not have a connecting portion on both sides 2, 2 of the decking material 1 with a decking material adjacent in the transverse direction, as shown in FIG. 5A.
In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 3 denotes a cover plate 4 that covers the upper surface of each of the opposing longitudinal ends a and a2 of the two left and right decking members 11 and 12 arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction; , 4 are insertion portions provided below both sides of the cover plate 3 in the transverse direction of the deck material.

This insertion part 4 is connected to the two left and right decking materials 1.
1 and 12, respectively corresponding left and right side pieces, i.e. 21
22 or 23 and 24 are provided on the left and right sides. The insertion portion 4 also has a connecting member 5, and these clamping pieces 41 to 44 are connected to the cover plate 3 via the connecting member 5, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. .

According to the connector having the above configuration, the deck members can be connected by inserting the right end of the left deck member 11 from one end of the connector and the left end of the right deck member 12 from the other end of the connector. This can be done by In this case, the corresponding left and right side pieces of each decking material 11 and 12, that is, the side piece 21 is between the clamping pieces 41 and 41, the side piece 22 is between the clamping pieces 42 and 42, and the side piece 21 is between the clamping pieces 42 and 42, Since the piece 23 is inserted between the clamping pieces 43 and 43, and the side piece 24 is inserted between the clamping pieces 44 and 44, they can be easily connected without any looseness. , 12 are covered with the cover plate 3, so that the aesthetic appearance is improved. This also has the advantage of reducing water leakage.
Furthermore, if the connecting tool is made of a soft plastic material, the adhesion to the decking material will be further improved, and the effect of preventing wobbling and water leakage will be enhanced. However, it is preferable that the cover plate portion of the connector be made of hard resin.

Next, FIG. 6 shows a connecting tool for connecting connecting type decking materials. Here, the connection type decking material refers to a decking material that has connecting parts 6, 6 on the decking material side piece 2 for connecting to the decking material adjacent in the transverse direction, as shown in FIG. 5B. . This connection type connector for decking material has the following points: the length of the cover plate 3 in the transverse direction of the decking material is slightly longer than the connector shown in Fig. 2, and a stepped portion 7 is provided on one end side. , basically has the same structure as the one in Fig. 2, except that the step 7 overlaps the end of the cover plate 3 of the connecting device that connects adjacent decking materials. ing. Therefore, it is desirable that this connector be made of soft plastic material.
In that case, the cover plate 3 is also preferably made of hard plastic. Incidentally, in common with the connectors shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, it is preferable that the lower surface of the cover plate at a position corresponding to the depression 8 in the center of the decking material 1 is bulged out by the size of the depression 8. In this way, water leakage can be further prevented.

Since the deck material connector according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the space between the connection ends of the plurality of deck materials arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction is hidden by the cover plate, so that the aesthetic appearance is improved. This prevents the foot from getting hit while walking, water leakage can be prevented to some extent, and the operation of attaching the cover plate to the connecting end of the decking material is easy, improving the efficiency of decking material construction.
