Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wood floor assembly, and more
particularly to a wood floor assembly that may be assembled and
dismantled quickly and easily.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional wood floor assembly in accordance with the prior
art comprises multiple base plates secured on the ground, and multiple
wood floors bonded on the base plates by glue, adhesive or the like.
However, the base plates combined with each other by nails, and
the wood floors are bonded on the base plates by glue, adhesive
or the like, so that the conventional wood floor assembly cannot
be assembled quickly and easily, thereby wasting time and manual
energy, and thereby increasing the cost of work. In addition, the
joint structure between the wood floors is subjected to the action
of a heat expansion or cold contraction, so that the wood floors
are easily deformed or distorted during long-term utilization, thereby
adversely affecting the function of the conventional wood floor
assembly, and thereby decreasing the lifetime of the conventional
wood floor assembly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a
wood floor assembly that may be assembled and dismantled quickly
and easily, without having to provide nails, adhesive, glue or the
like, thereby facilitating the user assembling and dismantling the
wood floor assembly, and thereby enhancing the versatility of the
wood floor assembly.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a wood
floor assembly, comprising wood floors, joint bases, soft pads,
and U-shaped clips, wherein, the wood floor has a first elongated
side protruded with an insertion flange, and a second elongated
side recessed with an insertion groove, the insertion flange has
a bottom edge recessed with a first insertion snap groove, the insertion
groove has a bottom edge recessed with a second insertion snap groove,
the wood floor has a bottom face defining a securing groove; the
joint base is a hollow joint base made of plastic material, and
has a first side protruded with an insertion block and a second
side recessed with an insertion recess, the joint base has a top
face having a central position that is protruded with a first locking
plate and a second locking plate, the first locking plate of the
joint base has a top edge having two sides extended with a first
locking hook portion and a second locking hook portion; the soft
pad is a soft foamed pad that is bonded on a bottom face of the
joint base; and the U-shaped clip is a metallic elastic snap clip
structure, and may be clamped and positioned in the hollow joint
bases of two adjacent joint bases.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become
apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with
appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings, a wood floor assembly in accordance
with the present invention comprises wood floors 10 joint bases
20 soft pads 30 and U-shaped clips 35.
The wood floor 10 is a substantially rectangular plate made of
wood material, and has a first elongated side having a central portion
protruded with an insertion flange 11 and a second elongated side
having a central portion recessed with an insertion groove 15 so
that any two adjacent wood floors 10 may be correspondingly combined
with each other integrally. The insertion flange 11 has a bottom
edge recessed with a first insertion snap groove 12. The insertion
groove 15 has a bottom edge recessed with a second insertion snap
groove 16. The wood floor 10 has a bottom face defining a securing
groove 18 formed at a proper position thereof.
The joint base 20 is a hollow joint base made of plastic material,
and has a first side protruded with an insertion block 21 and a
second side recessed with an insertion recess 23 so that any two
adjacent joint bases 20 may be assembled and combined into an elongated
rail-shaped floor fixing structure as shown in FIG. 8. Thus, a close
insertion snap structure is formed between any two adjacent joint
bases 20 so that the two adjacent joint bases 20 will not displace
or slide relative to each other, thereby preventing occurrence of
detachment.
The joint base 20 has a top face having a central position that
is protruded with a first locking plate 25 and a second locking
plate 28. The first locking plate 25 of the joint base 20 has a
top edge having two sides extended with a first locking hook portion
26 and a second locking hook portion 27. The first locking hook
portion 26 is snapped on the first insertion snap groove 12 of the
wood floor 10 while the second locking hook portion 27 is snapped
on the second insertion snap groove 16 of another wood floor 10.
The second locking plate 28 of the joint base 20 has a top edge
extended with a locking hook portion 29 that is inserted and secured
in the securing groove 18 of another wood floor 10 so that if another
wood floor 10 is mounted on a side wall and the width thereof needs
to cut, the wood floor 10 after being cut can still be inserted
and closely secured between the first locking plate 25 and the second
locking plate 28 on the top face of the joint base 20 as shown in
FIG. 7. Thus, the side material of the wood floor 10 after being
cut needs not to be bonded with glue or adhesive.
The soft pad 30 is a soft foamed pad that is bonded on the bottom
face of the joint base 20 thereby providing the shock-absorbing,
anti-skid and noise damping effects.
The U-shaped clip 35 is a metallic elastic snap clip structure,
and may be clamped and positioned in the hollow bases of two adjacent
joint bases 20 as shown in FIGS. 4 6 and 7 so that an elastic
snap action is formed between the joint bases 20 so that the joint
bases 20 may be assembled and dismantled quickly and easily.
The multiple joint bases 20 are combined with each other by the
U-shaped clips 35 thereby forming multiple elongated rail-shaped
floor fixing structures as shown in FIG. 8. The multiple wood floors
10 are then inserted and secured on the top faces of the joint bases
20 respectively.
In assembly, each joint base 20 is bonded with a soft pad 30. Then,
the multiple joint bases 20 are inserted and fitted with each other,
and may be integrally combined with each other by the U-shaped clips
35 thereby forming multiple elongated rail-shaped floor fixing
structures as shown in FIG. 8. Thus, a close insertion snap structure
is formed between any two adjacent joint bases 20 so that the two
adjacent joint bases 20 will not displace or slide relative to each
other, thereby preventing occurrence of detachment. Subsequently,
the multiple wood floors 10 are serially inserted and snapped on
the top faces of the joint bases 20 respectively, whereby the first
locking hook portion 26 of the first locking plate 25 of the joint
base 20 is snapped on the first insertion snap groove 12 of the
wood floor 10 and the second locking hook portion 27 of the first
locking plate 25 of the joint base 20 is snapped on the second insertion
snap groove 16 of another wood floor 10 while the locking hook
portion 29 of the second locking plate 28 of the joint base 20 is
inserted and secured in the securing groove 18 of another wood floor
10 thereby forming the wood floor assembly in accordance with the
present invention as shown in FIG. 7.
Accordingly, in accordance with the present invention, the wood
floor assembly may be assembled and dismantled quickly and easily,
without having to provide nails, adhesive, glue or the like, thereby
facilitating the user assembling and dismantling the wood floor
assembly, and thereby enhancing the versatility of the wood floor
assembly. In addition, the wood floors and the joint bases of the
wood floor assembly are combined in a snapping insertion manner,
thereby preventing the wood floor assembly from being raised or
bulged due to a heat expansion, and thereby increasing the lifetime
of the wood floor assembly. Further, the wood floor assembly may
provide the shock-absorbing, sound-proof, and ventilation effects.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred
embodiment as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many
other possible modifications and variations can be made without
departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore,
contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications
and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
