Definitions
- the present invention relates to a floor assembly wherein each floor unit has two bottom grooves and two side grooves, and any two adjacent floor units are connected by inserting a connection member in the bottom grooves and the side grooves.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 A conventional way to assemble a floor is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and generally includes a plurality of floor units 10 each is shaped as a rectangular board. A groove 12 is defined in one side of the floor unit 10 and a protrusion 11 extends from the other side of the floor unit 10 . Any two adjacent floor units 10 are connected with each other by sliding the protrusion 11 of one floor unit 10 in the groove 12 in the other floor unit 10 . Each floor unit 10 has to be machined two times to shape the protrusion 11 and the groove 12 . Besides, the whole length of each of the floor units 10 is completely machined so that the floor units 10 are able to be connected with each other one by one. Besides, the assembling process requires a lot of time to insert the protrusions 11 in the grooves 12 .
- a floor assembly which comprises a plurality of floor units and each floor unit has two side grooves and two bottom grooves. The two bottom grooves are located close to the two sides of each of the floor units.
- a plurality of connection members each have a base plate which has two engaging portions extending from a top surface thereof. An upright portion extends from the top surface of the base plate and a horizontal plate extends horizontally from the upright portion. Two ends of the horizontal plate are engaged with two respective side grooves of two adjacent floor units. The two engaging portions are engaged with the two bottom grooves of the two adjacent floor units.
- the primary object of the present invention is to provide a connection member that is engaged with sides grooves and bottom grooves of any two adjacent floor units so as to connect the two floor units together.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view to show a conventional floor assembly
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view to show the connection of two conventional floor units
- FIG. 3 is an exploded view to show a floor unit and a connection member of the floor assembly of the present invention
- FIG. 4 is an exploded view to show the floor assembly of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view to show the connection of two floor units of the present invention.
- the floor assembly of the present invention comprises a plurality of floor units 20 and each floor unit 20 includes two side grooves 22 defined in two sides of each of the floor units 20 and two bottom grooves 23 defined in a bottom of each of the floor units 20 .
- the two bottom grooves 23 are located close to the two sides of each of the floor units 20 .
- a plurality of connection members 30 each have a base plate 33 which has two engaging portions 34 extending from two ends on a top surface thereof.
- An upright portion 32 extends from an intermediate point the top surface of the base plate 33 and a horizontal plate 31 extends horizontally from the upright portion 32 .
- Two ends of the horizontal plate 31 are engaged with two respective side grooves 22 of two adjacent floor units 20 , and the two engaging portions 34 are engaged with the two bottom grooves 23 of the two adjacent floor units 20 .
- a cushion pad 40 is adhered to the bottom of the floor assembly so as to provide proper cushion feature.
- connection members 30 are made from plastic material so that they have proper flexibility to engage with the side grooves 22 and the bottom grooves 23 so that the ridges of the grooves 22 , 23 are not easily to be broken when assembling the floor units 20 together. Besides, the length of the grooves 22 , 23 can do not necessary to be made in the full length of each of the floor units 20 .
