[Solution] The installation kit includes a magnetic sheet 6 with a magnetic layer on the bottom and an adhesive layer on the top, a carpet tile 5, and installation instructions, eliminating the need for special installation tools or techniques.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the floor construction of tile carpets, and more particularly to an adhesive magnetic sheet and a construction kit that enable construction on a steel OA floor panel without the need for special construction tools or advanced construction techniques.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, when installing a tile carpet on a steel OA floor panel, the peel-up method has been generally adopted for ease of replacement and maintenance. However, since a steel panel with a metal base has low adhesiveness, a primer for a metal base may be applied as a base treatment. In such a conventional method, in addition to the application and drying process of the primer, it is necessary to manage the open time after applying the peel-up adhesive and ensure the waiting time until the adhesion becomes stable. These series of processes greatly depended on the skill level of the constructor and the construction environment (temperature, humidity, etc.).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] However, the peel-up method had problems such as the need for a primer application and drying process, and the delay of construction due to drying (open time) and curing after applying the adhesive.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] Therefore, the present invention is configured to use an adhesive magnetic sheet having a magnetic layer on the lower surface and an adhesive layer on the upper surface, and by directly adsorbing it to a steel OA floor panel, it is possible to eliminate the primer process and the drying process. Furthermore, a construction kit is provided that features this magnetic sheet as its core and does not require special construction tools or advanced construction techniques.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] This eliminates the need for surface preparation, shortening construction time. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for waiting time for primer and adhesive drying, as well as for the bond to stabilize. This means there is no need to leave gaps between applications, allowing large areas to be covered in a short amount of time. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0006] [Figure 1] This figure shows the cross-sectional structure of the adhesive-backed magnetic sheet of the present invention. [Figure 2] This diagram shows the installation in use on a steel raised access floor panel. [Modes for carrying out the invention] The magnetic sheets of this invention are laid out in multiples and partially attached to the four corners on the back of the carpet tiles, and then attached to the steel raised access floor panels. [Examples]

[0007] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the cross-sectional structure of the adhesive-backed magnetic sheet 6 for carpet tiles according to the present invention. The adhesive-backed magnetic sheet 6 for carpet tiles has a two-layer structure consisting of an adhesive layer 2 and a magnetic sheet 3 from the top. Before use, it is covered with release paper 1, but this is removed before use. The release paper 1 is made of silicone-treated release paper or the like to protect the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer 2 and to allow for easy removal during installation. The adhesive layer 2 can be adhered to the back surface of the carpet tiles 5, and a re-peelable acrylic adhesive or the like can be used to allow for replacement of the carpet tiles 5 as needed. The magnetic sheet 3 is made of a magnetic material that is attracted to the steel OA floor 4 by magnetic force, and is made of, for example, a rubber magnet sheet containing ferrite-based magnetic powder.

[0008] Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which tile carpet 5 is laid on a steel OA floor 4 using the installation kit including the adhesive magnetic sheet 6 for tile carpet of the present invention. The steel OA floor 4 is a typical OA floor structure in which multiple panels are supported at a predetermined height by support legs, and tile carpet 5 is laid on its upper surface according to a predetermined layout. The adhesive magnetic sheet 6 for tile carpet is attached to the back side of the tile carpet 5, and the tile carpet 5 is fixed to the steel OA floor 4 by magnetic attraction of the magnetic sheet 3 to the upper surface of the steel OA floor 4.

[0009] During installation, first remove dust and dirt from the surface of the steel OA floor 4, Remove the release paper 1 from the adhesive magnetic sheet 6 for carpet tiles, and attach the exposed adhesive layer 2 to the back of the carpet tile 5. Possible attachment locations include the four corners, the middle of the four sides, and the center of the carpet tile 5. One or more sheets can be placed in positions where the required holding power can be obtained. Subsequently, the tile carpet 5 is laid on the steel OA floor 4 according to a predetermined layout, and by lightly pressing it down, the magnetic sheet 3 is attracted to the steel OA floor 4, and the tile carpet 5 is held stably in place.

[0010] When replacing the carpet tiles 5, they can be removed by lifting one side of the carpet tiles 5 and raising it, thereby releasing the magnetic attachment between the magnetic sheet 3 and the steel raised access floor 4. In this process, the adhesive layer 2 remains on the tile carpet 5 side, and no adhesive or primer remains on the surface of the steel OA floor 4, allowing for repeated replacement without staining the floor surface.

[0011] In this embodiment, the planar dimensions of the carpet tiles 5 can be the same as those of commonly used carpet tiles. For example, square carpet tiles with sides of approximately 500 mm can be used, but are not limited to this. Furthermore, the planar dimensions of the adhesive-backed magnetic sheets 6 for carpet tiles can be configured such that, for example, one rectangular sheet is placed at each of the four corners of the carpet tiles 5, and the size and number of sheets can be appropriately changed according to the required holding power. Furthermore, the thickness of the magnetic sheet 3 can be appropriately set within a range that provides the necessary suction force while minimizing the height difference on the top surface of the OA floor 4, and is not limited to a specific value.

[0012] As described above, with the adhesive-backed magnetic sheet 6 for carpet tiles of this embodiment, carpet tiles 5 can be fixed to the steel OA floor 4 without applying a primer or peel-up adhesive. This eliminates the need for primer application and drying, as well as open time and curing time after adhesive application, which were previously required. This significantly reduces construction time and ensures consistent construction quality that is not dependent on the skill level of the contractor or the construction environment. Furthermore, by combining the adhesive magnetic sheet 6 for carpet tiles and the carpet tiles 5, and including installation instructions as needed, it is possible to supply an installation kit that does not require special installation tools or advanced installation techniques. [Industrial applicability]

[0013] This invention is a support material used when laying tile carpet on steel OA floor panels, and is actually usable in industrial fields such as construction work, interior finishing work, renovation work, and restoration work. By eliminating the need for a primer step, construction efficiency can be increased, making it applicable to a large number of facilities, mainly office buildings, and extremely useful industrially as a construction technique for floor finishing materials.
