Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention covers the ends of decking materials used for flooring of balconies, balconies, etc., especially the ends of the decking materials between the decking materials and the wall surface or support frame,
This invention relates to an end cover device for decking material which is effective in improving the beauty of this part, preventing dangers such as toes getting caught, and has excellent water-stopping properties and workability.

Conventionally, various means for treating the ends of decking materials have been proposed. For example, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-100937, as shown in FIGS. A floorboard end storage device is constructed by fixing a draining material body 3 with a weir board 2 at the bottom to a horizontal member 4, and placing an end 6 of a decking material 5 on the draining material body 3. It is shown. Also, Utsukai Showa 56-100938
The publication describes a draining material main body 7 as shown in Fig. 2.
and a covering 8, and the floorboard 5 is placed on the supporting piece 9 of the draining material main body 7, and the floorboard 5 is attached to the horizontal member 4.
A floor board formed by placing and fixing the covering body 8 on the upper surface of the end portion of the flooring material 5 by fitting the covering body 8 into the engagement groove 11 provided inside the rising piece 10 of the draining material body 7. An end closure device is shown.

However, in the former case, since the floorboard (corresponding to the decking material of the present invention) and the draining material body 3 are fixed to the horizontal members 4 at the same time, it is not possible to install the draining material body 3 after the floorboard is installed. In addition, since the weir plate 2 provided at the bottom of the drain body 3 is bent from its base by the flooring material, the water return part 1 provided at the top of the drain body 3 and the top surface of the floor plate are There is also the problem that the water-stopping properties are poor because there is a possibility that gaps may be formed between the layers. In addition, in the latter case, there is a risk of getting your toes caught because there is an opening between the bent part formed at the upper end of the rising piece 10 of the draining material body 7 and the cover 8; Similarly, since the draining material body 7 cannot be installed after floorboard construction, there is also a problem in workability.

This invention was devised to solve all the problems mentioned above, and its gist is as follows:
It consists of a fixture that has a locking protrusion on its upper part and is fitted and fixed in a groove of the decking material, and a cover material that has a locking piece formed on its lower surface that engages with the locking protrusion of the fixture. It consists in an end cover device for decking material.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 12 denotes a fixture having a substantially U-shaped cross section and having locking protrusions 13 on the top plate.
4 and 14 are formed with locking protrusions 18 and 18 that engage with engagement grooves 17 and 17 formed on both side walls of the deepest part of the groove 16 of the decking material 15. The fixture 12, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section, is made of synthetic resin or metal, and both leg pieces 14 are slightly opened downward. The fixture 12 configured in this manner is used to narrow the open leg pieces 14 inward to attach the decking material 1.
5 into the groove 16. After fitting, the fixture 12 can be reliably fixed in the groove 16 by the restoring force of both leg pieces.

In the fixture 12, it is desirable that the height from the lower ends of both leg pieces 14, 14 to the upper surface of the locking protrusion 13 be approximately the same as the depth of the groove 16 of the decking material 15.
If the fixture 12 is at this height, when the fixture 12 is fitted and fixed into the groove 16 of the decking material 15 and a cover material 19, which will be described later, is attached, the lower surface of the cover material 19 will come into close contact with the top surface of the decking material 15. . Therefore, it is excellent in water-stopping properties and in preventing the above-mentioned dangers. Further, the width and length of the fixture 12 are not limited to the illustrated example. Although not shown, if the end of the long groove cover material used to close the entire groove 16 of the decking material 15 is processed into the shape of the fixing tool as described above, the groove will be closed and the end of the decking material will be closed. The installation of the cover material can be done in one step, which greatly improves work efficiency. The shape of the fixing tool 12 is not limited to a substantially U-shaped cross section, but may be any shape that can be securely fixed within the groove of the decking material.

Next, reference numeral 19 in the figure is a cover material, and a locking piece 2 that engages with the locking protrusion 13 of the fixture 12 is provided on the lower surface of the cover material.
0, and flexible watertight materials 21, 21 are attached to both ends in the longitudinal direction. This cover material 19 is formed of a synthetic resin material or a metal material,
The watertight materials 21, 21 attached to both ends are made of a flexible material such as rubber and excellent in water-stopping properties. The watertight materials 21, 21 are overlapped with the watertight materials of adjacent cover materials, respectively. When stacked together, the top surface of the watertight material must be flush. Therefore, the plane of each watertight material is inclined so that the tip becomes thinner (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The width of the cover material 19 only needs to be wide enough to cover the ends of the deck materials arranged in parallel, and its length depends on the width of the deck materials and the distance between the grooves of adjacent deck materials. It may be determined as appropriate.

Note that if the cover material is made of a highly watertight material, the watertight material described above is not necessary.

Next, to explain the construction method, the ends of the decking materials 15 are placed and fixed on the support parts 23 of the horizontal members 22 such as girders, and then the cover materials 19 are attached to the fixtures 12 and then fixed. The tool 12 is forcibly fitted into the groove 16 of the decking material 15 and fixed (see FIG. 5).
Note that the fixing tool 12 is installed in the groove 16 of the decking material in advance.
Of course, the cover material 19 may be attached to the fixture 12 after being fitted and fixed therein.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the locking protrusion 13 of the fixture 12 is
are formed toward the length direction of the fixture 12.
On the other hand, the cover material 19 has a U-shaped cross section as a whole, and watertight materials 21, 21 are attached to the outside of the base and the tip of one piece in the longitudinal direction, and the other piece is A locking piece 20 is used. If this cover 19 is formed into a long piece, it can be cut and used according to the length of the ends of the decking materials arranged side by side.

Figures 7a and 7b show the construction state of this embodiment,
In FIG. 7a, the tip of the locking protrusion 13 of the fixture 12 is directed toward the horizontal member 22, and the watertight material 21 with the cover material 19 provided on the outside of its base is brought into contact with the horizontal member 22. Fig. 7b shows the installed state of the fixture 12.
This figure shows a state in which the locking protrusion 13 is constructed with the tip thereof facing in the opposite direction to the horizontal member 22. In the case of this embodiment, as can be seen from FIGS. 7a and 7b, the height of the fixture 12 is such that when the fixture 12 is inserted and fixed into the groove 16 of the decking material 15, the height of the locking protrusion of the fixture 12 is 13 is the thickness of the locking protrusion 13 itself and the locking piece 20 of the cover material 19
It is necessary to set the height so that it protrudes from the upper surface of the decking material 15 by the thickness of It adheres closely to the surface and has very good water-stopping properties.

The present invention as described above has the following effects.

a Since the cover material is attached to the edge of the deck material using a fixture that fits into the groove of the deck material, the end of the deck material can be covered with one touch even after the deck material has been installed, making it extremely workable. good.

b. Since the covering material can cover up irregularities in the edges of the decking material, the edges of the decking material are smooth and beautiful, such as verandas and balconies can be created.

c. Since the cover material can close the gap between the end of the decking material and the wall surface or support frame, it is possible to prevent the danger of toes getting caught in the gap.

d) Providing watertight material at appropriate locations around the cover material will further improve water-stopping properties.

e If a flexible material is used as the watertight material, it can fit tightly even if there are irregularities on the wall, support frame, or top of the decking material, and rainwater, dust, etc. will not enter through the edges of the decking material. can be reliably prevented.

f Since the cover material and the fixture can be attached by simply engaging each locking piece, handling is easy and work efficiency is high.

g. Both the fixture and the cover material have a simple structure, so they can be mass-produced at low cost.
