SLIDABLE CONSTRUCTING PLATE

Abstract

A slidable constructing plate comprises a protrusion and a notch on its peripheral surfaces. The protrusion is corresponding in shape to the notch. Furthermore, one groove is recessed between the top surface of the plate and the protrusion. Another groove is recessed between the bottom surface of the plate and the protrusion. One rib protrudes between the top surface and the notch, and another rib protrudes between the bottom surface and the notch. The grooves are corresponding in shape to the ribs. Two adjacent slidable constructing plates can be connected and fixed by mutual sliding through the protrusion sliding into the notch and the ribs sliding into the grooves. Slidable structures are provided to connect two adjacent slidable constructing plates to easily and firmly construct diversified products such as floors, ceilings, cabinets, and drywalls.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, an example of a slidable constructing plate 10 in accordance with the present invention is rectangular. The slidable constructing plate 10 is made of aluminum, tin, and other light metals or alloys. Each slidable constructing plate 10 comprises: a top surface 11, a bottom surface 12, and four peripheral surfaces 13. The four peripheral surfaces 13 respectively connect the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12.

[0020] A protrusion 14 is formed on one of the four peripheral surfaces 13. A notch 15 is formed on another one of the four peripheral surfaces 13. The protrusion 14 is opposite the notch 15. The protrusion 14 protrudes from the peripheral surfaces 13, and the notch 15 is recessed into the peripheral surfaces 13. The protrusion 14 is corresponding in shape to the notch 15. The protrusion 14 of one slidable constructing plate 10 can be connected with the notch 15 of another slidable constructing plate 10.

[0021] Furthermore, a first groove 161 is recessed between the top surface 11 and the protrusion 14. A second groove 162 is recessed between the bottom surface 12 and the protrusion 14. The first groove 161 is opposite the second groove 162. The first groove 161 and the second groove 162 longitudinally extend along the extending direction of the slidable constructing plate 10. A first rib 171 protrudes between the top surface 11 and the notch 15, and a second rib 172 protrudes between the bottom surface 12 and the notch 15. The first rib 171 protrudes toward the second rib 172. The first rib 171 and the second rib 172 are hook-shaped and longitudinally extend along the extending direction of the slidable constructing plate 10. It is worth mentioning that the first groove 161 and the second groove 162 are corresponding in shape to the first rib 171 and the second rib 172. Two adjacent slidable constructing plates 10 can be connected together through sliding the first rib 171 and the second rib 172 of one slidable constructing plate 10 into the first groove 161 and the second groove 162 of its adjacent slidable constructing plate 10 and sliding the protrusion 14 of said adjacent slidable constructing plate 10 into the notch 15 of the slidable constructing plate 10. Two adjacent slidable constructing plates 10 can be fixed together by the above grooves and ribs. Then two connecting slidable constructing plates 10 are not easy to separate.

[0022] With reference to FIG. 3, products such as floors or drywalls can be formed by connecting and extending multiple slidable constructing plates 10.

[0023] With reference to FIG. 4, roughened structures 141,151 are respectively formed with multiple zigzag lines on the outer surface of the protrusion 14 and the outer surface of the notch 15. The zigzag lines that form the roughened structure 141 longitudinally extend along the protrusion 14, the first groove 161, and the second groove 162. The zigzag lines that form the roughened structure 151 longitudinally extend along the notch 15, the first rib 171 and the second rib 172. Before connecting the two adjacent slidable constructing plates 10 through mutual sliding, adhesives are coated on the roughened structure 141 of the protrusion 14 and the roughened structure 151 of the notch 15. Then the adhesives would not be detached from the roughened structure 141 of the protrusion 14 and the roughened structure 151 of the notch 15 by mutual sliding between the two adjacent slidable constructing plates 10. The adhesives effectively enhance the firmness and durability of the products constructed by the slidable constructing plates 10.

[0024] The slidable constructing plates 10 have been described as having the rectangular shape and four peripheral surfaces 13, but the present invention does not restrict the shape of the slidable constructing plate 10 and amount of the peripheral surfaces 13. For example, when the slidable constructing plate 10 is triangular, three peripheral surfaces 13 are formed around the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12. When the slidable constructing plate 10 is circular, one peripheral surface 13 is formed around the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12. When the slidable constructing plate 10 is hexagonal, six peripheral surfaces 13 are formed around the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12.

[0025] In summary, the present invention mainly utilizes the protrusion 14 and the notch 15 to connect two adjacent slidable constructing plates 10 by mutual sliding. Furthermore, the present invention further utilizes the grooves and the ribs to fix two adjacent and connected slidable constructing plates 10. In addition, the present invention also utilizes the roughened structures 141,151 to enhance the adhesion between the protrusion 14 and the notch 15. The above structures of the slidable constructing plates 10 effectively enhance the firmness and durability of the products constructed by the slidable constructing plates 10.
