Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a floor tile unit suitable for laying on a rooftop, a balcony, or the like, and more particularly, to a floor tile unit comprising a synthetic resin base and a plurality of tiles fixed on the base. . More specifically, the present invention relates to a floor tile unit including a shielding member for preventing wind from flowing into the lower side of the base.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, floor tile units capable of easily laying tiles on rooftops, balconies, verandas, terraces, dirt floors, and concrete corridors have become popular. This floor tile unit usually includes a square synthetic resin base and a tile fixed to the upper surface of the base with an adhesive.
[0003]
The base has a large number of penetrating portions penetrating in the thickness direction for light weight and flexible flexibility (followability to unevenness of the ground). In this base, a plurality of tile attaching portions formed in the size of one tile and a tie portion that connects the tile attaching portions in a bridge shape are integrally formed of synthetic resin. The tile attaching portions are usually rectangular, and the tile attaching portions are arranged in a grid.
[0004]
Projecting pieces are provided on a pair of adjacent two sides of the base, and receiving portions on which the protruding pieces are engaged are provided on the remaining two sides. When a plurality of floor tile units are laid on a balcony or the like, adjacent floor tile units are connected by coupling the projecting piece and the receiving portion to form an integrated sheet-like floor tile unit connection body.
[0005]
If a strong wind blows under the floor tile unit laid on a balcony or the like, the floor tile unit may rise. In order to prevent this drooling, a shielding member for preventing wind inflow may be provided on the side surface of the floor tile unit. As this shielding member, a U-shaped section having a vertical piece applied to the side end surface of the floor tile unit and an upper piece and a lower piece covering the upper edge and the lower edge of the floor tile unit, respectively, is known. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-115074).
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a U-shaped conventional shielding member, since the upper piece also covers the upper surface of the side edge of the floor tile unit, the upper piece is considerably conspicuous when viewed from above, and is unsatisfactory. In addition, the upper piece exposed on the upper surface of the floor tile unit has a disadvantage that it easily receives a force in the separation direction from the sole, and the shielding member is easily detached.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a floor tile unit that overcomes such disadvantages and is excellent in aesthetics because the shielding member is not conspicuous and the shielding member is difficult to be detached.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The floor tile unit of the present invention is a floor tile unit comprising a base made of synthetic resin and a plurality of tiles fixed on the base, for preventing inflow of wind to the lower side of the base In the floor tile unit in which the shielding member is attached to the side surface of the floor tile unit, the shielding member is inserted into a joint portion between the tiles and is inserted into the base and is locked to the base, and the floor tile And a plate extending along the side surface of the unit.
[0009]
In such a floor tile unit, the shielding member is composed of a plate along the side surface of the floor tile unit and an insertion piece inserted into the joint portion, and there is no portion covering the upper edge of the tile. The material is inconspicuous and looks good. Further, it is prevented that the foot is pushed and removed.
[0010]
By providing a hook portion on the insertion piece and locking the hook portion to the base, the shielding member is more difficult to come off.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a perspective view of a floor tile unit according to an embodiment, FIG. 2A is a plan view of the floor tile unit, FIG. 1B is a view taken along line BB in FIG. 4 is a rear view of the floor tile unit, FIG. 4A is a perspective view of the shielding member, and FIG. 4B is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG.
[0012]
This floor tile unit has a base 10 made of synthetic resin, a tile 20 bonded to the base 10 with an adhesive, and a shielding member 30 provided on a side surface of the floor tile unit.
[0013]
The base 10 has a square shape in this embodiment, and a plurality of tile attaching portions 11 are provided in the vertical and horizontal directions (in this embodiment, three in each of the vertical and horizontal directions, nine in total). Each tile attaching part 11 is arranged in a grid shape, and the tile attaching parts 11 are connected to each other by a tie part 12. In addition, as for the tile sticking part 11, between straight-bar-shaped or cyclic | annular parts 13 penetrates in the thickness direction.
[0014]
A plurality of projecting pieces 14 project from two adjacent sides of the base 10, and the remaining two pieces are provided with receiving portions 15 having a shape to which the projecting pieces 14 can be coupled.
[0015]
When a plurality of floor tile units are installed in parallel, the protruding pieces 14 of the floor tile units are engaged with the receiving portions 15 of the adjacent floor tile units, whereby the floor tile units are connected to each other to form a series of sheets. .
[0016]
The tiles 20 are arranged on the tile attaching portions 11 and are fixed to the base 10 with an adhesive such as epoxy. The tiles 20 are arranged in a grid pattern, and joint portions 21 each having a predetermined gap are formed between the tiles 20. The joint portion 21 is arranged corresponding to the position between the tile attaching portions 11, and therefore, the tie portion 12 exists below the joint portion 21.
[0017]
The shielding member 30 is formed by integrally forming a plate 31 extending along the side surface of the floor tile unit and an insertion piece 32 projecting vertically from the plate 31 with a synthetic resin. A hook-shaped hook portion 33 projects downward from the distal end portion of the insertion piece 32.
[0018]
In this embodiment, two insertion pieces 32 project from the plate 31. The plate 31 has substantially the same length as one side of the base 10. The upper end of the plate 31 is positioned lower than the upper surface of the tile 20 by a required distance. The upper end of the plate 31 is positioned higher than the lower surface of the tile 20. On the lower side of the plate 31, a recess 34 for allowing the protrusion 14 to pass therethrough is provided.
[0019]
The shielding member 30 is mounted by inserting the insertion piece 32 into the joint portion 21 and locking the hook portion 33 to the tie portion 12 so that the plate 31 is applied to the side surface of the floor tile unit.
[0020]
The floor tile unit provided with the shielding member 30 is prevented (remarkably reduced) from blowing air downward, and the floor tile unit connected body is prevented from rolling up.
[0021]
Moreover, since the shielding member does not cover the upper edge of the tile 20, it hardly stands out, and the appearance of the floor tile unit is good. Also, the sole of the foot will not come off.
[0022]
In the above embodiment, the floor tile unit is square, but may be other shapes such as a rectangle.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the floor tile unit of the present invention has a good appearance because the shielding member for preventing the floor tile unit from rolling up is inconspicuous. Further, the shielding member is also very difficult to come off.
