Combination structure of a quick assembly do-it-yourself (DIY) wood flooring

Abstract

A combination structure of a quick assembly Do-It-Yourself (DIY) wood flooring each unit of which having a plastic base and a wood panel. Both of them are fitted together to form a whole. Two adjacent sides of the plastic base include a plurality of female portions while the other two adjacent sides thereof contain a plurality of male portions for fitting into the corresponding female portions thereof. By taking advantage of the flexibility of the plastic material and the tight connection between the concave portion and the convex portion of the wood panel, the invention may achieve a stable configuration without using nails for fixing purpose, ensure a quick and convenient assembly, and is especially applicable for DIY assembly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to an improved structure of a solid wood flooring, and more particularly, to a combination structure of a quick assembly Do-It-Yourself (DIY) wood flooring each unit of which includes a solid wood panel and a plastic base so as to have the advantage of quality of the actual solid wood and the advantages of moisture-resistance, anti-deformation and rapid assembly of plastics. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Wood flooring, including solid wood flooring, combination type wood and composite type wood, provides a durable surface that is widely received by house owners for its natural warmth, beauty and protection of children against injuries in falling over to the ground. [0005] As shown in FIG. 1, solid wood flooring is, however, made up of separate wood panels 10 laid side-by-side. The connection between the separate wood panels 10 requires nails. Otherwise, an instable connection ...

Benefits of technology

[0009] It is a primary object of the invention to provide an improved structure of a DIY wood flooring each unit of which a plastic base and a wood panel. Both of them are fitted together to form a whole. Two adjacent sides of the plastic base include a plurality of female portions while the other two adjacent sides thereof contain a plurality of male portions for fitting into the corresponding female portions thereof. By taking advantage of the flexibility of the plastic material and the tight connection between the concave portion and the convex portion of the wood panel, the invention may achieve a stable configuration without using nails for fixing purpose, ensure a quick and convenient assembly, and is especially applicable for DIY assembly.

[0011] It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved structure of DIY wood flooring in which the bottom side of the plastic base includes a plurality of laterally and longitudinally extending grooves for receiving and handing cable so as to have an aesthetically pleasing contour for the whole flooring.

Problems solved by technology

Otherwise, an instable connection will easily cause deformation or detachment of the wood panels 10.

Because of this, labor costs are often much higher than the cost of the wood material, resulting in higher overall construction costs and additional financial burden to the user.

Furthermore, floor panel layers are often hard to hire if the construction project is small or for only partial interior decoration.

This increases, however, the construction cost and duration.

Once replacing the wood panels 10 is required, material of the house itself may be damaged.

In addition, if the nails are used for fixing purpose, the wood panels will be fixed side by side so that the local replacement is not possible, but an overall dismantling is required even for a small-area replacement.

This may bring difficulties and cause waste.

This kind of clamp is scattered at the lower edges of the wood panels, and represents the following deficiencies: Wasting the construction time, failure to guarantee the grip of the assembled flooring to the ground, bringing people walking on it an unstable feeling and making noises caused by walking on the uneven surface from time to time.

However, the disadvantage of this kind of clamp rails lies in the following aspects: 1) laying in parallel must be guaranteed; 2) only suitable for the floor in shape of square or rectangle other than those with irregular shape edges such as round and inclined edges; 3) in addition, what the clamp rails 20 provides to the wood floor 22 is only the linear support so that a gap S between two clamp tracks 20 exists, thereby bringing an unstable feeling to people and causing fracture at the gap S.
