1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a water retaining gate board and more particularly to a packing set that can significantly reduce the gaps existing between the water retaining gate boards.
2. Description of Related Art
Whenever the weather, such as a typhoon, hurricane, and storm, brings vast amount of rain, residences may be flooded and suffer losses financially or damages of belongings and household items, as a result of construction excavation, a low-lying area, poor drainage, an area below sea level. Or, the residents have to relocate and move their belongings to a higher ground in order to prevent items from soaking in the rain, flood or sea water.
There is a conventional tightening device of grids of water-retaining wall which indicates that a plurality of insertion slots are set up on both sides of the water retaining columns in multiple preset heights and in pair. A packing unit can be freely installed onto or removed from the insertion slots wherein each packing unit has two legs of a U-shaped frame that can perfectly insert into the insertion slots on both sides of the water-retaining column, In addition, a pressure-retaining element is installed on the U-shaped frame and has a retractable pressure-retaining arm. Inserting the legs of the packing unit into the insertion slots of the water retaining columns at a proper height, and adjusting the length of the retractable pressure-retaining arm of the pressure-retaining element in order to generate packing pressure against the water retaining gate boards, the sealability of the gaps between the water retaining gate boards can be improved.
However, although the aforementioned disclosure packs the water retaining gate boards from the top, the water indeed flows in a horizontal direction into the residential houses. When the rain lasts too long or a vast volume of rain downpours within a short period of time, it may easily result in permeation of rain through the gaps between the gate boards and the columns.
Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
The invention is to provide a structure that solves the aforementioned problem by reducing the gaps between the water retaining gate boards and increasing the sealability of the water retaining gate boards.
In order to solve the aforementioned problem, the invention reveals a packing set comprising a stop block and a packing, wherein the stop block is penetrated by and installed with an abutment device, and the packing comprises a main body and a packing kit wherein both ends of the main body extend downward with a protruding part individually; each protruding part has a transverse rib stretching outward from the side thereof; the other end of the transverse rib has a vertical rib extending therefrom perpendicularly; the main body has a screw for placing the packing kit; the packing kit comprises a stud that penetrates the screw; the stud has an operating rod installed in one end and an abutment board installed in the other end whereas the operating rod penetrates the stud and is in a perpendicular setting therewith, wherein the vertical ribs can be located on both sides of the transverse rib to form a T-shaped setting; wherein the abutment device is a bolt and the end of the bold has a holding item.
The main features of the invention are that the stop block of the invention can be installed on the water retaining gate boards (including the water retaining columns and the water retaining boards) of any specifications available in the market. Besides, there is no limit as of the height and quantity for installation. Through the use of stop blocks installed on the water retaining gate boards, the stop blocks and the packing can engage with each other tightly. Next, the packing packs the water retaining gate boards from the top down to reduce the gaps between the water retaining gate boards and thus to decrease the possibility of permeation of water.
The secondary feature of the invention is that the stop block is penetrated by and installed with an abutment device and can further pack the water retaining gate boards horizontally from either side of the water retaining columns. In addition, the water retaining columns available in the market nowadays all come with waterproof rubber strips. Through the packed water retaining gate boards and the use of waterproof rubber strips, the gaps can be further reduced thus to further enhance the water-resistant effect.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
Furthermore, the abutment device 111 is a bolt 1111 and the end of the bolt 1111 has a holding item 1112.
The invention can be installed on the water retaining gate boards 200 (including the water retaining columns 210 and the water retaining boards 220) commonly used and sold in the market. The invention mainly is to reduce the small gaps more or less exist in the water retaining gate boards 200 during operation; prevent water from permeation through the gaps; thus further enhance the water-resistant effect of the water retaining gate boards 200 during flooding.
Referring to
Next, once the aforementioned steps have been completed, use the abutment device 111 installed on the stop block 110 to further pack the water retaining boards 220 along the horizontal direction to reduce the gaps between the water retaining boards 220 and the water retaining columns 210. In addition, the water retaining columns 210 sold in the market nowadays all come with waterproof rubber strips. Through the use of flexible waterproof rubber strips, the gaps between the water retaining columns 210 and the water retaining boards 220, which have been packed already, can be further reduced wherein the holding item 1112 that penetrates the bolt 1111 can be adjusted to left or right by users for the convenience of operation.
Referring to
While the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modifications within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
