Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a deck material connector.

Conventionally, when the main bodies of decking materials laid on the floors of balconies and the like are connected in the vertical direction, the joints have not been subjected to any appearance treatment. Therefore, the joints were visible, which not only spoiled the aesthetic appearance, but also posed the risk of tripping or getting injured at the joints.

In view of these circumstances, the present invention provides a deck material joining tool that is aesthetically pleasing by closing the vertical joints of the deck materials and is safe without causing injury to feet or the like.

The gist of the present invention is a decking material jointer comprising a plurality of fitting fixing bodies provided at the lower part of a closure body made of a flexible material.

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

In Fig. 1, A is a jointing tool for decking material, 1
is a closure made of a flexible material such as soft vinyl chloride. This flexible material should be made of a material with high watertightness. The closing body 1 is long and has a slightly thick cross section in order to close the joint of the decking material. As shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the cross-sectional shape is preferably circular, a substantially rectangular shape with the head slightly bulging left and right, or a T-shape. Reference numeral 2 denotes a fitting fixing body made of a hard material such as hard vinyl chloride and provided at the lower part of the closure body 1. This fitting fixing body 2
It is preferable to have a shape that can be fitted and fixed into the cavity 11 on the back surface of the convex portion of the deck material main body 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the side shape of the fitting fixing body 2 is T-shaped,
It is not limited to a rectangular cylindrical body as long as it has a shape that can be securely fixed within the cavity 11 when inserted into the V-shaped cavity 11. Further, the position where the fitting fixing body 2 is provided is not limited to the lower part near both ends of the elongated closing body 1, but may be provided as appropriate depending on the structure and dimensions of the deck material main body 10 and the position to be fitted. The fitting fixing body 2 is preferably provided so as to be orthogonal to the elongated closure body 1, but it may also be provided so as to protrude only in one direction, or so as to protrude alternately in different directions.

To construct the decking material joining tool A of the present invention having such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, one end portion 2a of the fitting fixing body 2 is fitted into the cavity 11 of the decking material main body 10. This insertion is performed until the closure body 1 comes into contact with the end surface of the deck material main body 10. Next, in this state, the cavity 11 of another decking material main body 10 to be connected is fitted into the other end 2b of the fitting fixing body in the same manner, thereby completing the joining of the decking materials. That is, the top plate portion 1 of the deck material bodies 10, 10 to be connected
2 and 12 press and hold the closure body 1 to close the joint (see FIGS. 4 and 6).

In the above description, the deck material main body 10 having a plurality of cylindrical cavities is used. However, the deck material main body 10 may have repeating unevenness as shown in FIG. It is sufficient to form a fitting fixing portion that matches the hollow portions 13, 13.

The present invention is as described above, and although it is an extremely simple task of fitting each of the fitting fixing bodies of the decking material connector into the cavity of the decking material body, the fitting fixing bodies do not fit into the decking material body. Since it is fixed by the inner wall of the cavity, the mounting position of the closing body does not shift, and it can be quickly and securely mounted. Since the closing body is made of a soft material, it is possible to seal the gap between the decking materials, and therefore, it is extremely safe without causing tripping or injury. Furthermore, since the joints of the decking materials are not visible, the aesthetic appearance is not compromised.
