Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoji-type interior item, its assembly parts, assembly kit, and assembly method. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, fewer homes are being equipped with Japanese-style rooms, but the appeal of shoji screens remains strong, and various studies are being conducted on how to make easy use of them. (Patent Document 1)

[0003] However, there are still issues that need to be considered regarding the easy use of shoji screens. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-163874 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Blinds or curtains are usually used to shade windows in Western-style rooms or to protect privacy. On the other hand, the traditional shoji screens used in Japanese-style rooms have a certain charm that is hard to give up, and it is thought that using them as interior decorations for windows or hanging them as tapestries on the wall to create a Japanese taste is useful not only in Japan but also overseas. However, there are many obstacles to using shoji screens as interior decorations in Western-style rooms that do not have thresholds or lintels for them.

[0006] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to make it possible to easily use shoji screens as interior decoration items in rooms where their use is not assumed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a shoji-type interior item that is assembled with a frame, horizontal bars, vertical bars, and shoji paper and is hung in a room. This allows the shoji to be used as an interior item in Western-style rooms that do not have a threshold or lintel for a shoji.

[0008] According to a specific feature of the present invention, the shoji-type interior item is hung on a curtain rail of a window, so that an existing curtain rail in a Western-style room can be used to install the shoji-type interior item.

[0009] According to a further specific feature of the present invention, the shoji-type interior product is hung by directly utilizing the curtain hanging parts that can slide on the curtain rail. According to another specific feature of the present invention, the shoji-type interior product is hung by an auxiliary hanging part that is separately attached to the curtain rail. According to a further specific feature of the present invention, the auxiliary hanging part for hanging the shoji-type interior product is separately attached to the upper surface of the curtain rail. According to a further specific feature of the present invention, the auxiliary hanging part is attached to the upper surface of the curtain rail by double-sided tape and has an attachment part that hangs down. Then, the shoji-type interior product is hung from this attachment part.

[0010] According to another specific feature of the present invention, the horizontal length of the frame of the shoji-type interior product when installed is smaller than the width of the shoji paper provided in a rolled form. This makes it possible to create a shoji-type interior product using ordinary shoji paper provided in a rolled form. According to a further specific feature of the present invention, the vertical length of the frame of the shoji-type interior product when installed is shorter than the horizontal length. This makes it possible to use the shoji-type interior product as a blind or curtain for waist-high windows in Western-style rooms.

[0011] According to another specific feature of the present invention, the frame of the shoji-type interior product has two horizontal frame members and two vertical frame members, which are assembled to form the frame. According to a further specific feature of the present invention, these horizontal frame members and vertical frame members are respectively formed by laminating a first member having an assembly groove and a second member having no assembly groove. In this way, in the process of manufacturing the frame, the first members are stacked in multiple sheets, the assembly grooves are cut all at once using a trimmer or the like, and then the individual first members are separated, and the second members having no assembly grooves are laminated to each of them, thereby making it possible to create the necessary horizontal frame members and vertical frame members. This manufacturing method makes it possible to create horizontal frame members and vertical frame members having the necessary mortise holes without tools such as chisels or skilled techniques, and is also efficient in manufacturing, contributing to cost reduction and making it easy to provide shoji-type interior products. According to a further specific feature of the present invention, the length of the first member of one of the horizontal frame members and the vertical frame members is longer than the second member, and the length of the first member of the other of the horizontal frame members and the vertical frame members is shorter than the second member. This makes it possible to simultaneously make tenons when combining horizontal and vertical frame members to create a frame body.

[0012] According to another feature of the present invention, the shoji-type interior product is provided to the customer as an assembly kit, which includes horizontal frame members, vertical frame members, vertical bars, horizontal bars, and shoji paper. This allows the customer to create the shoji-type interior product through simple DIY. According to a specific feature of the present invention, the assembly kit is accompanied by an assembly drawing depicting a full-scale shoji screen in an assembled state. This allows the customer to assemble the kit by placing each component of the kit on the drawing depicting the full-scale shoji screen, and thus allows the customer to accurately set the vertical and horizontal angles without making a mistake in the selection of components. According to a further specific feature of the present invention, the assembly drawing is provided with a margin around the full-scale shoji screen in an assembled state, and the assembly drawing can be used as a base to prevent the room from becoming dirty due to dripping of adhesive during assembly. For the above purpose, according to a further specific feature of the present invention, at least one surface of the assembly drawing is coated with a liquid-proof coating.

[0013] According to another feature of the present invention, the horizontal frame member of the frame in the kit for assembling shoji-type interior goods, the vertical frame member of the frame, the vertical rails, the horizontal rails, the shoji paper, and the assembly drawing are provided in one box. According to a specific feature of the present invention, the assembly drawing and the shoji paper are stacked with different vertical and horizontal orientations when being packed together. Further, according to a more specific feature of the present invention, the assembly drawing and the shoji paper are made into a roll and packed in the one box. As described above, since a sufficient margin is provided around the full-size shoji drawing in the assembled state in the assembly drawing, it is slightly larger than the shoji paper. Therefore, when both the shoji paper and the assembly drawing are rectangular, if the short side of the assembly drawing is aligned with the long side of the shoji paper and made into a roll, it can be packed in the box without the ends of the roll becoming larger than the long side of the shoji paper. According to a more specific feature of the present invention, the horizontal frame member of the frame, the vertical frame member of the frame, the vertical rails, and the horizontal rails are dispersed and packed inside the assembly drawing and the shoji paper made into a roll as described above, outside the roll-shaped assembly drawing and shoji paper, and in the space inside the corners of the box.

Advantages of the Invention

[0014] As described above, according to the present invention, in a room that does not assume the use of shoji, it is possible to easily use shoji as interior goods.

[0016] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shoji-type interior item according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The shoji-type interior item 2 is hung on a curtain rail 4 of a window. This allows the existing curtain rail 4 in a Western-style room to be used for installing the shoji-type interior item. The shoji-type interior item 2 of the first embodiment is assembled with two horizontal frame members 6 and two vertical frame members 8, five horizontal bars 10, four vertical bars 12, and shoji paper 14, which constitute a frame body, and is hung in a room. This allows the shoji to be used as an interior item in a Western-style room that does not have a threshold or lintel for a shoji. In the first embodiment, the shoji-type interior item 2 is hung by directly utilizing the curtain hanging parts 16 that can slide on the curtain rail 4.

[0017] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, the shoji-type interior item 2 is hung not by the curtain hanging part 16 that can slide on the curtain rail 4, but by an auxiliary hanging part that is separately attached to the curtain rail. This allows the curtain hanging part 16 that can slide on the curtain rail 4 to be used to hang a curtain as usual.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the auxiliary hanging part 18 and the like used in the second embodiment. The auxiliary hanging part 18 has an L-shaped cross section, and the back side 18a of the upper part is attached to the upper surface of the curtain rail 4 with double-sided tape. The attachment part 18b that hangs down in the auxiliary hanging part 18 has a hole 18c for hanging the YO-TO 20. Therefore, the YO-TO 20 can be attached to the upper horizontal frame member 6 shown in FIG. 1 and hung in the hole 18c to hang the shoji-type interior product 2 on the curtain rail 4. Three sets of auxiliary hanging parts 18 and YO-TO 20 with similar structures are shown in FIG. 2. The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment except for the hanging structure of the shoji-type interior product 2 on the curtain rail 4. The present invention will be described below based on the second embodiment, but FIG. 1 will also be used for the explanation except for the hanging structure of the shoji-type interior product 2.

[0019] As will be described later, the shoji-type interior item 2 of the present invention is constructed by utilizing ordinary shoji paper provided in a rolled form. The horizontal length of the frame of the shoji-type interior item 2 when attached (i.e., the length of the horizontal frame member 6) is smaller than the width of the shoji paper provided in a rolled form. Furthermore, the vertical length of the frame of the shoji-type interior item when attached (i.e., the length of the vertical frame member 8) is shorter than the horizontal length, which is the length of the horizontal frame member 6, as can be seen from Figure 1. This allows the shoji-type interior item 2 to be used as a blind or curtain for waist-high windows in Western-style rooms.

[0020] The shoji-type interior product 2 of the present invention is provided to the customer as an assembly kit consisting of the horizontal frame member 6 of the frame body, the vertical frame member 8 of the frame body, the horizontal rails 10, the vertical rails 12, and the shoji paper 14. This allows the customer to create the shoji-type interior product through simple DIY.

[0021] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing each part in such an assembly kit, and parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are given the same numbers. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the assembly kit includes normal shoji paper 14 provided in a rolled form. The assembly kit also includes an auxiliary tool 22 for temporarily fixing an end of the shoji paper 14 to one of the horizontal frame members 6 (e.g., the upper horizontal frame member 6) when attaching the shoji paper 14 to the assembled shoji using glue or double-sided tape. By first temporarily fixing the end of the shoji paper 14 to the upper horizontal frame member 6 using such an auxiliary tool 22, the shoji paper 14 that has become curled can be easily attached while being spread out onto the assembled shoji toward the lower horizontal frame member 6.

[0022] As shown in Figure 3, the frame of the shoji-type interior accessory 2 of the present invention has two horizontal frame members 6 and two vertical frame members 8, which are assembled to form the frame. Next, the manufacturing process of these two horizontal frame members 6 and two vertical frame members 8 will be explained. Since the manufacturing process is basically the same, only the horizontal frame member 6 will be explained.

[0023] FIG. 4 is a perspective view for explaining the manufacturing process of the horizontal frame member 6. As shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal frame member 6 is formed by bonding a first member 6a and a second member 6b together. The first member 6a has an assembly groove 6c, but the second member 6b does not have such a groove. FIG. 4(A) shows the state before bonding, and FIG. 4(B) shows the state after bonding. In this way, in the manufacturing process of the frame, the first members 6a are stacked in multiple sheets, and the assembly grooves 6c are cut all at once with a trimmer or the like, and then the individual first members 6a are separated, and the second members 6b are bonded to each of them, respectively, to create the required horizontal frame member 6. This manufacturing method makes it possible to create a horizontal frame member having the required mortise hole 6d without tools such as a chisel or skilled techniques, and the manufacturing efficiency is good, which contributes to cost reduction and makes it easy to provide shoji-type interior goods. The same is true for the vertical frame member 8.

[0024] 4, the length of the first member 6a in the horizontal frame member 6 is longer than the second member 6b. This allows the tenon 6e to be created at the same time when combining the horizontal frame member 6 with the vertical frame member 8 to create a frame body. The same is true for the vertical frame member 8, but in order to combine with the horizontal frame member 6, the length of the first member is shorter than the second member.

[0025] 5 is a perspective view of the main part of the shoji-type interior product 2 of the present invention in the middle of assembly. The shape of the mortise 6d formed by bonding the first member 6a and the second member 6b in the horizontal frame member 6, the relationship in length between the first member 6a and the second member 6b, and the state of the tenon 6e formed thereby can be better understood. Also, the shape of the mortise 8d formed by bonding the first member 8a and the second member 8b in the vertical frame member 8 combined with this, the relationship in length between the first member 8a and the second member 8b, and the state of the tenon 8e formed thereby can be better understood.

[0026] Fig. 6 is a plan view of an assembly drawing 24 included in the assembly kit for the shoji-type interior product 2 of the present invention. Drawing 24 shows a full-scale shoji drawing 24a in an assembled state. This allows a DIYer to assemble the kit by placing each component of the kit on drawing 24 showing the full-scale shoji, and thus makes it possible to select the correct components and to set the horizontal and vertical angles accurately.

[0027] Figure 7 is a plan view showing the state where each horizontal crosspiece 10 and each vertical crosspiece 12 are placed on a board 24. By placing each component on board 24 and assembling them as shown in Figure 7, the horizontal frame members 6, vertical frame members 8, horizontal crosspieces 10, and vertical crosspieces 12 can be assembled without making a mistake in their selection, and the vertical and horizontal angles can be accurately set at right angles as shown in Figure 7.

[0028] Also, as can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, in the assembly drawing 24, a margin portion 24b is provided around the full-size shoji drawing 24b of the assembled state, and it can be used as a lining to prevent soiling of the room during assembly due to dripping of adhesives or the like during assembly as a whole. For this purpose, a liquid-proof coating is applied to at least one surface of the assembly drawing 24. Thereby, assembly can be easily performed even on the floor of an ordinary household without a workroom or the like.

[0029] FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the packaged state of the assembly kit for the shoji-type interior goods 2. As can be seen from FIG. 8, the assembly kit for the shoji-type interior goods 2 of the present invention is provided with the set shown in FIG. 3 packed together in one box 26. As described above, the shoji paper 14 is packed in a roll form. Also, the assembly drawing 24 is packed in a roll form by being overlapped on the shoji paper 14. At this time, the assembly drawing 24 and the shoji paper 14 are overlapped with different vertical and horizontal orientations. The significance thereof will be described later. Then, the horizontal frame member 6, the vertical frame member 8, the horizontal crossbar 10, and the vertical crossbar 12 are packed in a dispersed manner from the direction indicated by the arrow 26b in the space inside the assembly drawing 24 and the shoji paper 14 packed in a roll form as described above, outside the roll-form assembly drawing 24 and the shoji paper 14, and inside the corners of the box 26.

[0030] FIG. 9 is a plan view showing that the assembly drawing 24 and the shoji paper 14 are overlapped with different vertical and horizontal orientations when being packed. As described above, since the assembly drawing 24 is provided with a sufficient margin portion 24b around the full-size shoji drawing 24a of the assembled state, it is slightly larger than the shoji paper 14. Therefore, when both the shoji paper 14 and the assembly drawing 24 are rectangular, if the short side of the assembly drawing 24 is aligned with the long side of the shoji paper 14 and made into a roll form, it can be packed in a box in a state where both ends of the roll do not become larger than the long side of the shoji paper.

[0031] Figure 10 is a perspective view showing how the assembly drawing 24 and the shoji paper 14, which have been stacked lengthwise and widthwise in the manner described above, are rolled up into a roll. As can be seen from the figure, if the paper is rolled up in this state, both ends of the paper will not be larger than the long sides of the shoji paper 14, and it can be packed into a box 26 as shown in Figure 8. [Industrial Applicability]

[0032] According to the present invention, in rooms where the use of shoji screens is not assumed, it is possible to easily use shoji screens as interior items with a Japanese style in place of blinds or curtains, and as Japanese-style tapestries for the walls of rooms. [Explanation of symbols]
