Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] 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.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] 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.

wood floor assembly, and thereby enhancing the versatility of the
wood floor assembly.
[0006] 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,
[0007] 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;
[0008] 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;
[0009] the soft pad is a soft foamed pad that is bonded on a bottom
face of the joint base; and
[0010] 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.
[0011] 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
[0020] 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.
[0021] 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.
[0022] 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.
[0023] 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.
[0024] 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.
[0025] 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.
[0026] 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.
[0027] 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.
[0028] 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.
[0029] 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. |
