Abstract

A combination structure of a quick assembly Do-It-Yourself (DIY) wood flooring each unit of which having a plastic base and a wood panel. Both of them are fitted together to form a whole. Two adjacent sides of the plastic base include a plurality of female portions while the other two adjacent sides thereof contain a plurality of male portions for fitting into the corresponding female portions thereof. By taking advantage of the flexibility of the plastic material and the tight connection between the concave portion and the convex portion of the wood panel, the invention may achieve a stable configuration without using nails for fixing purpose, ensure a quick and convenient assembly, and is especially applicable for DIY assembly.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A combination structure of a quick assembly Do-It-Yourself (DIY) wood flooring, each unit of the wood flooring comprising: 
 a) a plastic base made of plastics by an injection molding process, the plastic base having hooks facing each other on both of the longer sides of an upper surface thereof with their ends directed inwardly, the bottom side of the plastic base being hollowed out and having a plurality of legs for supporting the plastic base on the ground, two adjacent sides of the plastic base each having a plurality of female portions with the opening directed upwards while the other two adjacent sides of the plastic base each includes a plurality of male portions extending downwards for fitting into the corresponding female portions, the male portions at the longer sides having a smaller length than the supporting legs so as to create a gap to allow the attachment of the female portions of one wood flooring in an inclined position to the male portions of another wood flooring in place; and    b) a wood panel having two parallel grooves formed at both longer sides of the wood panel and left to match the hooks of the plastic base, thereby permitting a smooth insertion of the wood panel into the upper surface of the plastic base to form a whole, a concave portion and a convex portion being correspondingly formed above the two grooves of the wood panel, respectively.    
   
   
       2 . The combination structure of a quick assembly Do-It-Yourself (DIY) wood flooring as recited in  claim 1  wherein the bottom side of the plastic base includes a plurality of laterally and longitudinally extending grooves for receiving cables.  
   
   
       3 . The combination structure of a quick assembly Do-It-Yourself (DIY) wood flooring as recited in  claim 1  wherein the female portions are disposed at the left and the front side of the plastic base while the male portions are positioned at the right and rear side thereof.
