DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a first preferred embodiment of a combinable floor board in the present invention includes a body 10, which is made integral of soft plastic easy to be cut. The body 10 is provided with an L-shaped upper connectable side 11 extending out from an upper section of two adjacent sides of the body 10, and an L-shaped lower connectable side 12 extending out from the lower section of the other two adjacent sides of the body 10. The upper connectable side 11 is provided with a plurality of female fitting members 111 spaced apart equidistantly thereon, and the lower connectable side 12 is provided with a plurality of male fitting members 121 spaced apart equidistantly thereon to correspond to the female fitting members 111. In this embodiment, the female fitting members 111 are round holes, and the male fitting members 121 are round projections possible to fit with the female fitting members 111. Further, the width of the upper connectable side 11 is the same as that of the lower connectable side 12, with the thickness of the upper and the lower connectable side 11 and 12 being half the thickness of the body 10. In addition, the body 10 has an upper tread surface 13, and a plurality of small projecting grains 131 regularly spaced apart on the tread surface 13, with a cutting line 14, 15 formed respectively at the connecting line of the body 1 with the upper connecting side 11 and the lower connecting line 12 for easy cutting, and with plural rectangular recesses 16 formed in the bottom side of the body 10.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the floor boards in the invention are to be combined with each other, the upper connectable side 11 of one floor board is overlapped on the lower connectable side 11 of another floor board, letting the female fitting members 111 fitted with the male fitting members 121, finishing the two floor boards. In this way a certain area of the floor boards can be assembled, and redundant upper connectable sides 11 and redundant lower connectable sides 12 can be easily cut off at the cutting lines 14 and 15, making the whole floor boards look decent and beautiful.

It is important to mention that if a very large area of the ground is to be laid with the floor boards, a number of the floor boards can be assembled together as a module by fusing or adhering the upper connectable sides 11 with the lower connectable sides 12 by means of high frequency or glue. Thus this kind of module formation of the floor boards can benefit for laying floor boards on a considerable large area of the ground, and upgrading anti-tension force and weight-enduring strength.

Next, a second preferred embodiment of a combinable floor board is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, including a body 2, which is provided with an L-shaped upper connecting side 21 extending from an upper section of two adjacent sides of the body 20, and an L-shaped lower connecting side 22 extending from the lower section of the other two adjacent sides of the body 20. The upper connecting side 21 is provided with a plurality of female fitting members 211 spaced apart equidistantly and a plurality of projecting tenons 212 respectively located alternately between every two adjacent female fitting members 211. The lower connecting side 22 is provided with a plurality of male fitting members 221 respectively corresponding to the female fitting members 211 and a plurality of round mortises 222 respectively corresponding to the round tenons 212. Then the male fitting members 221 of one floor board can fit with the female fitting members 211 of another floor board and the round mortises 222 of the first floor board can be inserted by the round tenons 212 of the second floor board. Further, the body 20 has an upper tread surface 23, which is provided with a plurality of projecting grains 231, and cutting lines 24 and 25 are formed between the upper section of the two adjacent sides of the body 20 and the upper connecting side 21 and between the lower section of the other two adjacent sides of the body 20 and the lower connecting side 22, for easy cutting. Moreover, the bottom surface of the body 20 is provided with a plurality of rectangular recesses spaced apart.

Next, FIGS. 8 and 9 show a third preferred embodiment of a combinable floor board, which includes a body 30, which is provided with an L-shaped upper connecting side 31, an L-shaped lower connecting side 32, a plurality of female fitting members 311 on the upper connecting side 31, a plurality of round tenons 312 extending downward from the bottom of the upper connecting side 31, a plurality of male fitting members 321 corresponding to the female fitting members 311, and a plurality of round mortises 322 corresponding to the round tenons 312. So the male fitting members 321 of one floor board fit with the female fitting members 311 of another floor board, and the round tenons 312 of the former floor fit in the round mortises 322 of the latter floor board. Further, the body 30 has an upper tread surface 33, which is printed with a pattern thereon. So the floor boards have a flat upper surface before assembly, and are tightly stabilized after assembly.

The invention has the following advantages, as can be understood from the above description.

• • 1. The floor boards can be assembled quickly and conveniently, only by overlapping the upper connecting side of one floor board on the lower connecting side of another floor board and then the male fitting members fitted with the female fitting members.
  • 2. The assembled floor boards laid on the ground can completely seal up the ground, having an advantage of blocking the moisture or dirty water of the ground.
  • 3. The round tenons and the round mortises added on the upper connecting side and the lower connecting side can upgrade the force of resisting tension.
  • 4. The recesses formed in the bottom of the floor board function as hollow spaces, enabling the floor board to have elastic buffer so that a person may feel comfortable in treading the floor boards, which then have the effect of enduring shocks and heavy weight.
  • 5. The material of the floor board is soft plastic easily cut, so the whole appearance of the floor boards assembled may look decent and beautiful after the redundant outermost upper and lower connecting sides are cut off.
  • 6. The floor boards can be made into modules, which can be formed by fusing together the upper and the lower connecting side by means of high frequency or adhered by glue, so a large area of the ground can be quickly laid with the modules of floor boards at the building site, speeding building process, reinforcing anti-tension strength and weight-enduring force.
  • 7. The projecting grains provided on the upper surface of the floor board can function to resist slippery, and heighten visual appearance.

While the preferred embodiments of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claimed are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
