Embodiment Construction

[0029] Preferred embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "embodiments") will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the configuration of a compressed wooden product including a wooden piece formed by compression (compressed wooden piece) and a shape retainer of a first embodiment of the present invention attached to the compressed wooden piece. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of compressed wood of the compressed wood product shown in Fig. 1 . A compressed wood product 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a substantially bowl-shaped wooden piece 2 (wooden piece), and a metal shape holder 3 attached to the wooden piece 2 . Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the compressed wood product 1 of Fig. 1 viewed from its bottom side. The configurations of the wooden member 2 and the shape retaining member 3 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 .

Abstract

Provided is a shape retaining member for an easy attachment while realizing a precise suppression of the deformation of the wooden piece and a stable shape retention. A shape retaining member includes a main frame portion (31) that has a contact face (36) which has substantially the same shape as that of the closed loop end face (2d) of the wooden piece (2), a protruding strip (33) that protrudes from an edge of an inner periphery of the main frame portion (31) in a direction substantially perpendicular to the contact face (36), a first tapered protruding portion (34) that protrudes from a tip end portion of the protruding strip (33); and a pair of second tapered protruding portions (35) each protruding from the contact face (36) near a proximal end of the protruding strip (33) in a direction substantially perpendicular to the contact face (36), and being arranged symmetrical about a plane perpendicular to the contact face (36) and passing through the tip end portion of the protruding strip (33) and the apex of the first tapered protruding portion (34).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a shape retaining member and a shape retaining structure for retaining a predetermined three-dimensional shape of a wooden piece. [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-137855 filed on May 10, 2005, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Cases covering electronic equipment such as cameras and cellular phones are mostly made of synthetic resin or metal. The shape of such a case is held by a shape retainer for preventing the case from being deformed by external force so as to maintain the shape of the case. The shape retainer is fixed to the case by screws, caulking, or the like. [0004] At the same time, the technique of forming the wooden shell is attracting attention. Wood, which is a natural material, has a variety of grain patterns, and wood products made from the wood exhibit individual characte...
