Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pedestrian deck installed on a walking path, etc., and more specifically, to a deck system incorporating a non-slip anti-static member that ensures safe walking for pedestrians by preventing static electricity from being generated on the railing in advance by safely discharging static electricity that naturally occurs while a pedestrian walks on a deck made of wood, etc., and prevents the pedestrian from slipping when walking on the deck by applying a non-slip structure. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, a deck refers to a floor structure constructed from materials such as wood or composite wood, installed on walkways, building exteriors, and particularly in gardens or terraces. Resembling a ship's deck, it connects indoor and outdoor spaces and provides areas for relaxation and activity. It is made from various types of wood, including natural wood, pressure-treated wood, and composite wood.

[0003] Decking is primarily used as a flooring material because it is not only eco-friendly compared to other materials but also has the advantage of efficiently absorbing vibrations to create a quiet environment, and provides a visually soft and comfortable feel.

[0004] In addition, the deck has excellent durability and is easy to maintain. It also has the advantage of reducing fatigue due to its good elasticity and shock absorption capabilities when walking.

[0005] When such decks are installed on outdoor walkways, railings are generally constructed together with the decking (flooring), which is typically made of wood or composite wood.

[0006] However, when a deck is installed together with a metal railing or a railing using metal as connecting fittings, the following problems arise.

[0007] When a pedestrian walks on the deck and comes into contact with or rubs against the human body, electrons move from the human body to the deck. As a result, the side that loses electrons becomes positively charged, and the side that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. In this state, if they separate from each other, the charges become unbalanced and remain on the deck, causing static electricity to be generated.

[0008] As such, static electricity is inevitably generated naturally when pedestrians walk on the deck; consequently, if pedestrians grab or come into contact with the railing, the resulting static electricity may cause discomfort or, in some cases, lead to safety accidents.

[0009] Due to these problems caused by static electricity, temporary measures were being taken in areas where people walked on the deck, such as attaching warning signs to the railings to prevent them from grabbing or touching them.

[0010] Meanwhile, in order to solve this problem, an "antistatic structure of a synthetic wood board using a grounding member for electrostatic removal (Republic of Korea Registered Patent No. 10-1201801)" has been proposed in the past.

[0011] The above-mentioned 'antistatic structure of a synthetic wood board using a grounding member for electrostatic removal' is characterized by being able to protect pedestrians from static electricity by simply installing it in a wedge shape between existing synthetic wood boards without changing the structure of the synthetic wood board.

[0012] The above 'antistatic structure of a synthetic wood board using an electrostatic removal grounding member' is a structure in which the lower grounding portion of the electrostatic removal grounding member electrically contacts the support steel member at the bottom of the deck, and when a pedestrian steps on and comes into contact with the grounding member while walking, the electricity generated from the human body travels through the grounding member and is finally discharged to the support steel member.

[0013] However, these 'static discharge grounding members' have a problem in that they fail to properly perform their static discharge removal function during long-term use because the end of the grounding member merely makes contact with one side of the support steel section, resulting in low electrical connection reliability. Furthermore, in the case of the clip-type deck mentioned as an example, the deck surface separates from one side of the support steel section during installation, a point that was not taken into account at all. Consequently, although the installation of deck clips is essential for connecting deck roads, the grounding member extends far down where the deck clips should be inserted, effectively rendering the deck road non-existent. Since the deck road cannot exist, the static discharge member is meaningless.

[0014] Furthermore, although this 'static discharge grounding member' is equipped with an anti-slip ridge on the upper step, the small surface area of ​​the step and the minimal irregularities of the ridge make it insufficient to effectively prevent pedestrians from slipping. Additionally, as previously explained, the claim that the clips will not come loose is based on barbs at the installation points, as the installation of clip decks was not considered; this is a significant contradiction. Even when standard non-slip surfaces are installed using screws at both ends, the screws break and the material detaches within a few months. Therefore, there is a high probability that it will come loose due to friction with the grounding member. Prior art literature

[0015] Republic of Korea Registered Patent No. 10-1201801 The problem to be solved

[0016] The objective of the present invention is to solve these problems by providing a deck system equipped with a non-slip anti-static member that prevents the generation of static electricity on the railing by safely discharging static electricity naturally generated while a pedestrian walks on the deck, thereby ensuring safe walking for the pedestrian, and prevents the pedestrian from slipping while walking on the deck by applying a non-slip structure. means of solving the problem

[0017] A deck system having a non-slip anti-static member applied according to an embodiment of the technical concept of the present invention for achieving the above objective comprises a deck road formed by combining a plurality of decks, a handrail installed on one or both sides of the deck road, and an anti-static member installed on one side of each deck to discharge static electricity generated between a pedestrian and the deck road or between the handrail and the pedestrian, wherein the anti-static member may include: a friction surface portion installed to contact the upper surface of the deck and frictionally contacted when a pedestrian walks; and a connection discharge portion that fixes the friction surface portion to the deck and is simultaneously connected to a metal joist installed on the lower part of the deck to discharge the charge generated by friction to the joist.

[0018] In addition, one side of the friction surface can be inserted into the space between each deck.

[0019] Additionally, the friction surface may include an insertion part that is vertically arranged and inserted into the space between each deck; and a friction part that is horizontally arranged to be connected to the insertion part and contacts the upper surface of the deck.

[0020] In addition, the insert may be formed with protruding fitting projections on its inner and outer surfaces so as to be fixed in a state where it is inserted into the space between each deck.

[0021] Additionally, the friction portion may include a lower surface that contacts the upper surface of the deck; and an upper surface opposite the lower surface that a pedestrian steps on while walking.

[0022] In addition, the above lower surface may be formed such that only a portion of the entire surface contacts the upper surface of the deck, while another portion is spaced apart from the deck.

[0023] In addition, the lower portion may be formed with a protruding seating projection at each set position to contact the upper surface of the deck.

[0024] In addition, the upper surface may be formed so that only a portion of the entire surface protrudes to be stepped on and frictionally rubbed by a pedestrian while walking.

[0025] In addition, the upper surface may have irregularities formed at set positions to prevent a pedestrian from slipping while walking.

[0026] Additionally, the above irregularities may include: a first irregularity formed near the end of the upper surface portion and formed such that the height of the protrusion gradually decreases as it extends outward; and a second irregularity formed to protrude on the upper surface portion between the first irregularity and the insertion portion.

[0027] Additionally, the height of the highest part of the first irregularity (H1) is the same as the height of the second irregularity (H3), and the height of the lowest part of the first irregularity (H2) is lower than the height of the second irregularity (H3).

[0028] In addition, the above-mentioned seating projection may be formed to protrude at the position of the lower surface opposite to the first irregularities.

[0029] In addition, the lower portion may be further provided with a lifting prevention projection near the end to prevent it from easily separating from the deck and lifting up.

[0030] Additionally, the above-mentioned anti-lifting projection may include: a first projection protruding from the lower surface, protruding inwardly in a diagonal direction and having a sharp end; and a second projection protruding adjacent to the first projection, protruding outwardly in a diagonal direction and having a sharp end.

[0031] In addition, the above-mentioned connection discharge portion is screw-coupled to the joist by penetrating the friction portion, and is formed lower than the height of the irregularities formed on the upper surface, so that when a pedestrian walks on the upper surface, the pedestrian's foot does not come into contact with the connection discharge portion. Effects of the invention

[0032] In a deck system to which a non-slip antistatic member according to the present invention is applied, the member is installed between the decks and a direct connection piece is directly connected to the joist at the bottom of the deck, thereby safely discharging static electricity that naturally occurs while a pedestrian walks on the deck, thus preventing static electricity from being generated on the railing in advance and ensuring safe walking for the pedestrian. Additionally, the surface bonding strength between the antistatic member and the deck can be increased through the direct connection piece, thereby ensuring high durability. Furthermore, by applying a non-slip structure to form irregularities on the surface of the antistatic member, the effect of preventing the pedestrian from slipping while walking on the deck is achieved.

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below by explaining preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the attached drawings. Identical reference numerals in each drawing indicate identical components.

[0036] A non-slip anti-static member for a deck according to one embodiment of the technical concept of the present invention is a non-slip anti-static member for a deck that ensures safe walking for pedestrians by preventing static electricity from being generated on the railing in advance by safely discharging static electricity that naturally occurs while a pedestrian walks on the deck, and prevents the pedestrian from slipping when walking on the deck by applying a non-slip structure.

[0037] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a deck system having a non-slip anti-static member applied according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a non-slip anti-static member for a deck according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a non-slip anti-static member for a deck according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a non-slip anti-static member for a deck according to one embodiment of the present invention installed on a deck, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a non-slip anti-static member for a deck according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 to 8 are exemplary diagrams of a deck system in which various types of railings are combined according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, a deck system to which a non-slip anti-static member according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied may be composed of a deck road (1), a railing (4), a non-slip anti-static member (10), etc.

[0040] A deck road (1) is a structure generally installed on a walkway, walking path, etc., for the comfortable walking or strolling of pedestrians. Such a deck road (1) may be composed of multiple decks (2) made of wood or composite wood, etc.

[0041] The handrail (4) is a structure installed together with the deck to prevent pedestrians walking on the deck from going outside the deck or to assist pedestrians walking on the deck. As shown in FIG. 6, it can be installed at one end or both ends of the deck, and if the deck road is formed in a curve, it can be formed in a curved shape.

[0042] As previously mentioned, static electricity generated by pedestrians walking on the deck road remains on these railings, causing inconvenience to pedestrians. In order to prevent such static electricity generation, a non-slip anti-static member (10) according to the present invention is installed on one side of the deck.

[0043] A non-slip anti-static member (10) is installed on one side of each deck (2) to discharge static electricity generated between a pedestrian and the deck or between the railing and the pedestrian.

[0044] At this time, the non-slip anti-static member (10) for a deck according to one embodiment of the present invention may largely include a friction surface portion (100) and a connection discharge portion (200).

[0045] First, the friction surface (100) is installed to be in contact with the upper surface of the deck (2) and is a part that is in contact with the pedestrian when walking.

[0046] One side of the friction surface (100) can be inserted into the space (3) between each deck (2).

[0047] That is, the above deck road (1) can be installed such that a plurality of decks (2) are arranged in a continuous sequence, and each deck (2) is installed such that a gap is formed at regular intervals, and the friction surface (100) can be installed to be inserted into each space (3) between these decks.

[0048] The friction surface portion (100) may include an insertion portion (110) that is vertically arranged and inserted into the space (3) between each deck (2), and a friction portion (120) that is horizontally arranged to be connected to the insertion portion (110) and contacts the upper surface of the deck (2).

[0049] The above insertion part (110) may be formed with a protruding insertion projection (111) on the inner / outer surface so as to be fixed in a state where it is inserted into the space (3) between each deck (2).

[0050] The friction surface portion (100) is a structure formed such that the side cross-sectional shape extends in the longitudinal direction in the same manner, and the friction surface portion (100) may be formed as a plate-shaped structure extending in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0051] The above-mentioned fitting projection (111) may be formed in a shape that protrudes from one side and the other side of the insertion part (110), and may have a protruding band shape with a cross-section that extends in the longitudinal direction equally, and the above-mentioned fitting projection (111) may be formed in multiple numbers at regular intervals.

[0052] Additionally, the thickness of the insert part (110) may be formed to be equal to or smaller than the space (3) between the decks (2), and the total thickness including the height of the protruding fitting projection (111) may be formed to be equal to or larger than the space (3) between the decks (2), so that when the insert part (110) is inserted in a way that forces it into the space (3) between the decks (2), it can be fixed without being easily separated.

[0053] Meanwhile, the friction part (120) may include a lower surface (120a) that contacts the upper surface of the deck (2), and an upper surface (120b) opposite to the lower surface (120a) that a pedestrian steps on while walking.

[0054] The friction part (120) is a part that is horizontally arranged to be connected to one side of the insertion part (110), and can be formed with a width that is relatively wider than the width of the insertion part (110).

[0055] Additionally, the lower surface (120a) may be formed such that only a portion of the entire surface contacts the upper surface of the deck (2), while another portion is spaced apart from the deck (2).

[0056] That is, the lower portion (120a) is not a completely flat plate-shaped structure, but has a curved shape with curves formed at regular intervals, so that it does not bend easily and can maintain rigidity.

[0057] Meanwhile, the lower portion (120a) may be formed with a seating projection (121) protruding at each set position to contact the upper surface of the deck (2).

[0058] That is, the lower portion (120a) may have a curved shape due to the seating projection (121), and the protruding seating projection (121) may come into direct contact with the upper surface of the deck (2).

[0059] Additionally, the above-mentioned seating protrusions (121) may be provided in multiple numbers on the lower portion (120a) and may be provided to protrude with various widths.

[0060] Meanwhile, the upper surface (120b) may be formed so that only a part of the entire surface protrudes so that it is stepped on and frictionally rubbed by a pedestrian while walking.

[0061] That is, the pedestrian steps only on the protruding part of the upper surface (120b), thereby reducing the friction area compared to a completely flat shape.

[0062] The above-mentioned upper surface (120b) may have irregularities (122) formed at each set position to prevent a pedestrian from slipping while walking.

[0063] That is, the protruding part that the user steps on while walking becomes the above-mentioned unevenness (122), and the shape of the unevenness (122) prevents slipping.

[0064] The above-mentioned protrusions (122) may include a first protrusion (122a) formed near the end of the upper surface (120b) and formed such that the height of the protrusion gradually decreases as it extends outward, and a second protrusion (122b) formed to protrude on the upper surface (120b) between the first protrusion (122a) and the insertion part (110).

[0065] At this time, the height of the highest part of the first irregularity (122a) (H1) is the same as the height (H3) of the second irregularity (122b), and the height of the lowest part of the first irregularity (122a) (H2) can be lower than the height (H3) of the second irregularity (122b).

[0066] That is, the height of the first protrusion (122a) can be formed so that the height of the end side is lowered, thereby preventing a pedestrian from tripping over the protruding first protrusion (122a) while walking, and the height can be formed to gradually increase from the end.

[0067] Meanwhile, the seating projection (121) of the lower portion (120a) may be formed to protrude at the position of the opposite lower portion (120a) between the first irregularities (122a).

[0068] Next, the connection discharge part (200) is a part that fixes the friction surface part (100) to the deck (1) and is simultaneously connected to a metal wire (5) installed at the bottom of the deck (1), thereby discharging the electric charge generated by friction to the wire (5).

[0069] The above-mentioned connection discharge part (200) is a type of fastening means made of a metal material and can be screw-coupled to the main line (5) by penetrating the friction part (120).

[0070] The above connection discharge part (200) may largely include a bolt head (210), a body (220), and a screw thread (230).

[0071] In this way, the above-mentioned connection discharge part (200) is screw-coupled to the main line (5) in a state of direct contact with the friction surface part (120), thereby increasing the reliability of the electrical connection and enabling smooth discharge.

[0072] In addition, the connection discharge part (200) is installed so as not to protrude lower than the height of the protrusion (122) to prevent wear. Furthermore, the connection discharge part (200) is positioned lower than the height of the protrusion (122) to prevent direct contact with a pedestrian's foot.

[0073] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a non-slip anti-static member for a deck according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] Referring to FIG. 5, the non-slip anti-static member (10') for a deck according to another embodiment may further be provided with an anti-lifting projection (123) near the end of the lower portion (120a) as a measure to prevent the deck (2) from being easily separated and lifted.

[0075] The above-mentioned anti-lift projection (123) is a part that can be fixed to one side of the deck (2) to compensate for the fact that the opposite end of the insertion part (110) is not relatively fixed.

[0076] The above-mentioned anti-lifting projection (123) may include a first projection (123a) that protrudes on the lower surface (120a), protrudes inwardly in a diagonal direction, and has a sharp end, and a second projection (123b) that protrudes adjacent to the first projection (123a), protrudes outwardly in a diagonal direction, and has a sharp end.

[0077] In this way, the first projection (123a) is fixed to the deck (2) by protruding to the left in the drawing, and the second projection (123b) is fixed to the deck (2) by protruding to the right in the drawing, so that the friction part (120) can be maintained in a fixed state without lifting up even if frictional resistance occurs in various walking directions of the pedestrian.

[0078] The non-slip antistatic member for a deck applied to a deck system according to various embodiments based on the technical concept of the present invention is installed between decks and has a direct connection screw directly connected to the joist at the bottom of the deck, thereby safely discharging static electricity that naturally occurs while a pedestrian walks on the deck, thus preventing static electricity from being generated on the railing in advance and ensuring safe walking for pedestrians. Additionally, the surface bonding strength between the antistatic member and the deck can be increased through the direct connection screw, thereby ensuring high durability, and a non-slip structure is applied to form irregularities on the surface of the antistatic member, thereby preventing the pedestrian from slipping while walking on the deck.
