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 distortion, it is known that one of the tiles of the floor tile unit is omitted and a mesh having the same size as the tile is provided in that portion (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-317135).
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Such meshes are made of the same synthetic resin as the base, although they have the same dimensions and the same arrangement as the tiles, and have the disadvantage that the texture of the surrounding tiles does not match and the appearance is poor.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a floor tile unit which overcomes such disadvantages and has an uncomfortable feeling in the ventilation portion for removing air and is excellent in beauty.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The floor tile unit of the present invention is a floor tile unit comprising a base made of a synthetic resin and a plurality of tiles fixed on the base. The base has joint portions that enter between the tiles. And an opening for allowing the air blown to the lower side of the base to flow upward from the joint portion is spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of each side portion at the joint portion between the side portions of the tile. A plurality of them are provided.
[0009]
In such a floor tile unit, the wind from the openings provided in the joints between the tiles prevents the floor tile unit from rolling up. This joint is made of a synthetic resin that is integral with the base, but the joint is generally made of a material different from the tile (for example, cement or synthetic resin filler), and the texture is different from that of the tile. But there is no particular sense of incongruity.
[0010]
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 the embodiment, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the floor tile unit, FIG. 3 is a back view of the floor tile unit, and FIG. 4A is a line IV-IV in FIG. FIG. 4B is a partially enlarged view of FIG.
[0011]
This floor tile unit has a base 10 made of synthetic resin and a tile 20 bonded on the base 10 with an adhesive.
[0012]
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.
[0013]
In addition, joint portions 17 that rise so as to enter between the tiles 20 are provided between the tile attaching portions 11 and the base 10 by integral molding of synthetic resin. An air vent opening 19 is provided on the upper surface of the joint portion 17. The upper surface of the joint portion 17 is substantially the same height as the upper surface of the tile 20.
[0014]
A half-width joint portion 18 having a half width of the joint portion 17 is provided around the floor tile unit 4, and an opening 19 is also provided on the upper surface of the half-width joint portion 18. The height of the half-width joint portion 18 is the same as that of the joint portion 17. When the side surfaces of the two floor tile units are abutted, the joint portions similar to the one joint portion 17 are generated by arranging the two half-width joint portions 18 in parallel.
[0015]
In addition, as for the tile sticking part 11, between straight-bar-shaped or cyclic | annular parts 13 penetrates in the thickness direction.
[0016]
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.
[0017]
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. .
[0018]
The tiles 20 are arranged on the tile attaching portions 11 and are fixed to the base 10 with an adhesive such as epoxy.
[0019]
In the floor tile unit provided with the joint portion 17 with the opening 19 and the half-width joint portion 18, the wind blown downward is quickly removed from the opening 19, so that the floor tile unit connected body is prevented from rising.
[0020]
Moreover, although the joint part 17 and the half-width joint part 18 are made of a synthetic resin, even if the joint part itself is made of a different material from the tile, there is no sense of incongruity, so the appearance of the floor tile unit is good. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the joint part 17 and the half-width joint part 18 are substantially the same height as the tile 20, even if it touches the sole of a bare foot, it does not hurt and is excellent in usability.
[0021]
In this embodiment, since the tile 20 is arranged in the space surrounded by the joint portion 17 and the half-width joint portion 18, the attachment durability of the tile 20 to the base 10 is good.
[0022]
Instead of providing the half-width joint 18 over the entire circumference of the floor tile unit, a full-width joint may be provided only on two adjacent sides.
[0023]
In the above embodiment, the floor tile unit is square, but may be other shapes such as a rectangle.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the floor tile unit of the present invention can prevent the floor tile unit from rolling up and has a good appearance.
