Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide an end cap that does not warp or accidentally fall off. [Structure] The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing bar 2 provided on the back surface is substantially L-shaped or T-shaped. [Effect] Since the rigidity of the reinforcing bar 2 is relatively improved, it is possible to prevent warpage due to contraction of the material due to the years of use. Also,
Since the adhesiveness between the adhesive 4 and the reinforcing crosspiece 2 is improved, firm attachment is possible, and careless disengagement does not occur.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an end cap that conceals an end surface such as a decorative edge.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The end cap 101 of the conventional example shown in FIG. 3 has a reinforcing bar 102 integrally formed on the back surface and is fitted to the end of a decorative edge (not shown) via an adhesive (not shown). It was a thing. The reinforcing crosspiece 102 has a cross-shaped rectangular cross section.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the end cap 101 of the conventional example, warpage due to shrinkage of the material and careless detachment due to deterioration of the adhesive are likely to occur as the years of use increase. The purpose of this invention is to provide an end cap that does not warp or accidentally fall off.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the end cap of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing bar is substantially L-shaped or T-shaped.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the end cap of this invention, since the reinforcing bar has a substantially L-shaped or T-shaped cross section, the rigidity of the reinforcing bar is relatively improved. Further, the close contact between the reinforcing bar and the adhesive applied to the end face such as the decorative edge improves the firm mounting.

[0006]

【Example】

 As shown in FIG. 1, an end cap 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises an end face 1a and a flange 1b which is provided along the peripheral edge of the end face 1a and protrudes to the back surface side. A reinforcing bar 2 is integrally formed on the rear surface of the end surface portion 1a. The reinforcing bar 2 has a cross shape and a cross section of a substantially L shape.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the end cap 1 is attached to the end of the decorative edge 3, the adhesive 4 is applied between the back surface of the end surface 1 a and the end surface of the decorative edge 3 to attach the flange 1 b. Insert the end of the decorative edge 3 inside. In this state, part of the adhesive 4 in the vicinity of the reinforcing bar 2 flows into the groove 2a formed between the reinforcing bar 2 and the back surface of the end face 1a, and the adhesive 4 and the end cap 1 The adhesion with is improved. This allows for a firm attachment and prevents accidental removal. Further, since the reinforcing bar 2 has a substantially L-shaped cross section, the rigidity of the reinforcing bar 2 is relatively improved, so that the warp due to the contraction of the material due to the years of use can be prevented.

The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing bar 2 may be substantially T-shaped, and in this case, the same effect as that of the embodiment can be obtained.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 In the end cap of this invention, the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing bar is substantially L-shaped or T-shaped, so that the rigidity of the reinforcing bar is relatively improved and warpage due to shrinkage of the material due to the years of use can be prevented. In addition, since the adhesive and the like applied to the end surface such as the decorative edge and the reinforcing bar are improved in close contact with each other, a firm attachment can be achieved and the careless detachment does not occur.
