Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a level adjustment plate for concrete products that is installed on the installation surface of a concrete product when laying the concrete product on site. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, when concrete products such as gutters and box culverts are laid on site, they are laid on top of a mounting surface constructed by pouring concrete. However, because the mounting surface is uneven, the level of the concrete product needs to be adjusted. For this reason, the level is adjusted by stacking one or more rectangular plates underneath the concrete product to the required thickness.
[0003] Examples of this level adjustment plate material include a level adjustment plate for concrete products that has a pair of positioning protrusions on the surface of the plate body and mating holes on the back surface of the plate body that correspond to the positioning protrusions, so that when stacked, the positioning protrusions fit into the mating holes, making it easy to position the upper item (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 7-40912 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, since a fitting hole is formed on the back side of the positioning protrusion, there were problems that had to be solved, such as the fact that the upper surface of the upper item cannot be brought into contact with the upper surface of the lower item when in use unless the thickness of the plate body is made thicker than the height of the positioning protrusion. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In view of the problem based on the above-mentioned prior art that the thickness of the plate body is limited by the height of the positioning projections, the present invention provides a plate body having a rectangular shape, at least two hooking projections protruding from the surface of one side portion of the plate body with respect to the center line, hooking holes formed to penetrate the plate body in the other side portion with respect to the center line, the same number as the hooking projections, at least two pins protruding from the surface of the other side portion of the plate body, and pin holes formed to penetrate the one side portion of the plate body, wherein the hooking projections have hook portions formed at the tips of elastically deformable rising portions, and hooking protrusions that engage with the hook portions are formed to protrude inwardly from the lower portions of the hooking holes, and the heights of the hooking projections and the pins are lower than the thickness of the plate body. 、 The positions of the hooking protrusion and the pin are set so that when rotated 180 degrees around the center of the plate body, they can be positioned within the area of the hooking hole and the pin hole.By doing this, when stacking two plates, the upper plate is rotated 180 degrees horizontally relative to the lower plate, and the hooking protrusion and pin of the lower plate are inserted into the hooking hole and pin hole of the upper plate.This makes it possible to stack and use the plates with the top surface of the lower plate in contact with the bottom surface of the upper plate, regardless of the thickness of the plate body, thereby solving the above problem. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] In short, the present invention provides a plate having a rectangular plate body, at least two hooking projections protruding from the surface of one side portion of the plate body with respect to the center line, hooking holes formed in the same number as the hooking projections and penetrating the other side portion of the plate body with respect to the center line, at least two pins protruding from the surface of the other side portion of the plate body, and pin holes formed in the one side portion of the plate body, wherein the hooking projections have hook portions formed at the tips of elastically deformable rising portions, and hooking protrusions that engage with the hook portions are formed inwardly at the bottom of the hooking holes, and the heights of the hooking projections and the pins are made lower than the thickness of the plate body. 、The positions of the hooking protrusions and the pins are set so that they can be positioned within the areas of the hooking holes and the pin holes when rotated 180 degrees around the center of the plate body. Therefore, when stacking for level adjustment, the upper one is rotated 180 degrees horizontally relative to the lower one, and the lower hooking protrusions and pins are inserted into the upper hooking holes and pin holes. This causes the upper surface of the lower one to come into contact with the lower surface of the upper one, making it easy to position the upper one relative to the lower one. In this stacked state, the upper one is always stacked tightly relative to the lower one without shifting, and the concave when hung down is Since the stacked state is not easily disturbed by the use of shingled products, level adjustment work can be easily performed, and even if the thickness of the plate body is thinner than the height of the hooking protrusions and pins and the tips of the hooking protrusions and pins protrude from the top surface of the upper plate body, they can be used without any problems because they are lower than the hooking protrusions and pins of the upper plate, and when stacking for boxing, if the hooking protrusions and pins of the lower plate are abutted against the underside of the upper plate, they can be maintained in a parallel state, allowing for smooth boxing.
[0008] The plate body has escape holes for the hook projections on both sides thereof and escape holes for the pins on both sides thereof, and the center distance between the hook projections and the escape holes for the hook projections and the center distance between the pins and the escape holes for the pins are the same. Therefore, the upper one is shifted widthwise relative to the lower one, and then the upper one is shifted to the opposite side relative to the lower one, and this is repeated to stack them in a zigzag pattern, and the lower hook projection is inserted into the one on the opposite side to the shift direction of the upper hook projection escape hole, and the lower pin is inserted into the one on the opposite side to the shift direction of the upper pin escape hole. This allows the upper one to be stacked neatly without shifting relative to the lower one, and therefore has great practical effects such as allowing for smooth boxing.
