Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to decorative materials and flat decorative objects using the same, and more specifically to flat decorative objects that can be placed indoors, such as reception rooms, living rooms, and entrance halls of homes, as well as lobbies and corridors of commercial facilities, hotel and inn accommodation facilities, and public facilities, and outdoors, such as outdoor living rooms and gardens, to create amenity spaces, etc., and in particular to decorative materials and flat decorative objects using the same that have been constructed to create new value in the design of traditional crafts rooted in the region. Here, the planar decorative body in the present invention is not two-dimensional, but rather allows for a certain thickness or a three-dimensional creation derived from the decorative body, and broadly includes decorative bodies that have the function of fixing other decorative objects such as flowers, plants, etc. In addition, when creating an amenity space using these various decorative bodies, it is essential that the decorative body be stoutly fixed, and in order to ensure high sturdiness, the planar base of the wall on which it is installed is characterized by having a special undercoat treatment and carrying a magnetic material. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, emphasis has been placed on creating individuality through highly original designs rather than using ready-made materials in the design of buildings, etc. The recent revision of the Design Law has also provided for the protection of interior designs in response to this trend.
[0003] On the other hand, as the problem of vacant houses grows worse every year, there is also a high demand for decorative materials in the above architectural designs, even in so-called renovations.
[0004] Representative examples of architectural materials that place emphasis on design, especially materials for decorating interior walls, include the following:
[0005] (1) Acrylic panel Acrylic panels are highly transparent and come in a variety of colors and pattern designs; when attached to interior walls, they can create unique light reflection and transmission effects.
[0006] (2) Relief tiles Relief tiles are tiles with three-dimensional carvings that are suitable for adding decorative elements to interior walls. They come in a variety of designs and textures, and can give a three-dimensional expression to the wall.
[0007] (3) Wallpaper Wallpaper is a type of wall paper that comes in a variety of colors and designs. By sticking it on an interior wall, you can easily add patterns and textures, and in recent years, 3D wallpaper with a three-dimensional texture has also become popular.
[0008] (4) Wood panels Wood panels are highly designed wall materials that use the surface of natural wood. They have beautiful grain and texture, and are characterized by their ability to create a warm atmosphere. There are many different types of wood and finishes available, so you can choose one that suits your taste and style.
[0009] (5) Stainless steel panels Stainless steel panels are a material that can be used to realize modern and sophisticated designs. They feature a glossy surface and unique texture, and when attached to interior walls they can create a stylish impression.
[0010] Among the architectural materials that place emphasis on design, these are suitable for decorating interior walls, but all of them have a fixed design that cannot be easily changed once produced, and they lack the ability to be customized according to the interior design. Furthermore, it is virtually impossible to change the design to create uniformity due to changes in the furniture design to be installed inside the building, and the design must be remade, making this a technique that lacks flexibility.
[0011] In view of this, some efforts have been made in the prior art to improve the design of interior decorations, but the above problems have not yet been solved.
[0012] For example, cited document 1 discloses a decorative wall panel that is easy to install on-site and can decorate a wall surface, but the shape and decorative configuration of the wall panel are standardized and arbitrary variations cannot be achieved.
[0013] D2 discloses a frame having a gauze openwork pattern that can be used as a decorative item in a living room. This technology allows perspective depiction by rearranging resin panels and parts, but it is time-consuming to produce and the design cannot be changed after production.
[0014] Cited Document 3 discloses a decorative panel to be attached and fixed to the wall surface of a building, etc., and its mounting structure. The technology in question relates in particular to a decorative panel that is lightweight, low cost, and has excellent functionality such as soundproofing, and to a mounting structure for the decorative panel that allows the panel to be thinly attached and easily attached and fixed, but there is no intention at all to change the design after the panel is attached and fixed.
[0015] Cited Document 4 discloses an invention relating to a decorative material used for surface decoration on the exterior and interior walls of buildings. More specifically, the objective is to provide a decorative material that can be expressed in a wider range of ways, and as a solution to this problem, a decorative material is provided with grooves, in which a plurality of grooves are arranged when viewed in a plane on the side on which the grooves are formed, at least one of the widthwise ends of the grooves extends in any of two-dimensional directions when viewed in a plane, and the plurality of grooves include grooves extending in different directions. However, because the distinctive interior walls are installed first, the furniture and fittings that harmonize with the spatial design are inevitably uniform, and lack adaptability to uses and preferences. Conversely, if the design concept is not decided at the outset, in the case of a store, it will be difficult to present the business space, which will cause problems.
[0016] For the above reasons, there has been a need for decorative materials for flat surfaces that can smoothly accommodate the agility of design changes and are also excellent for creating system designs, as well as flat decorative objects that utilize these materials. On the other hand, most conventional methods of using magnets on walls involve products called magnetic sheets and panels. Magnetic sheets are primarily used for household items and message boards and are relatively lightweight, and most cannot handle heavy items and have a limited range of uses. Although panelized products can handle heavy objects to a certain extent, many of them are inorganic (such as the panels of a modular bath), making them unsuitable for interior use. Many of the above products were developed as convenient items for everyday life and have not been designed to be used as interior décor. Looking at the housing industry as a whole, the current situation is that nothing new has been developed to improve the interior design of walls, except for methods of attaching conventional products (tiles, stone, wood, sheets, etc.) and applying wallpaper. Another feature of this product is that once installed and used, it is immediately recognizable as a "magnetic version," and is far from being used as interior decoration. Commercial facilities, hospitals, clinics, etc. have numerous advertisements and announcement posters on the wall, but the majority of them are hung with cellophane tape, thumb tacks, nails and hooks, and from an aesthetic point of view they are far from being decorative. Therefore, when it came to wall construction, there was a demand for a construction method that could be used not only as interior decoration but also as a convenient item, and that would not interfere with the comfortable interior space in spaces where comfort is desired. In other words, heavy objects can be attached simply by changing the type of magnet, and wallpaper commonly used in homes and stores can also be used, creating a natural space that does not look like a magnetic wall, and this wall technology has been eagerly awaited.

[0017] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-279390 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3061147 [Patent Document 3] JP 2011-58218 A [Patent Document 4] JP 2021-160128 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0018] The present invention aims to provide a planar decorative material that can be customized by the user to the desired shape and decoration by optimizing the shape, design configuration, and mounting function of the basic module of the decorative material, and a planar decorative object that utilizes the same. [Means for solving the problem]
[0019] The inventors conducted extensive research to find a solution to the above-mentioned problems, and discovered that the desired objective could be achieved by adopting a design based on Japanese crafts as the regular polygon and its design composition, and combining it with a magnetic material to maintain the attachment function to a flat base, thereby leading to the creation and completion of the present invention.
[0020] That is, according to the present invention, the following decorative material and a planar decorative object using the same are provided.

Effect of the Invention
[0021] As described above, the present invention provides a planar decorative material carrying a magnetic substance, characterized in that the basic module of the decorative material is a frame and / or a regular polygon of any shape that can be freely combined, and that the basic module of the frame of any shape or the regular polygon is configured with a design that features colors and / or patterns based on traditional Japanese crafts.The present invention also provides a planar decorative material, characterized in that the basic module of the planar decorative material has a magnetic force that allows it to be attached to a steel plate. The preferred embodiment of the decorative material of the present invention is suitable for architectural interior and exterior applications, but since it is equipped with magnetic force so that it can be attached even when the flat base is a steel plate, it is possible to decorate any flat base with an individual original design by arbitrarily combining basic modules configured in the desired shape, and furthermore, since the created space can be changed later by replacing customized basic modules, it can be utilized as a material that combines convenience and versatility. Here, a preferred embodiment of the flat base in the present invention is one that supports a magnetic material and is characterized in that the flat base is based on a magnetic cloth base made of a steel plate and a film sheet. This embodiment makes it possible to stably and robustly install and lay out the decorative materials without them falling, regardless of the weight, size, and number of pieces attached, and is very convenient because it allows the creation of a wide variety of amenity spaces by adopting such a robust flat base.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0023] Preferred embodiments of the decorative article of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figs. 1 to 14, however, the embodiments permitted by the present invention are in no way limited to these. (1) Overview of the embodiment Figure 6 shows an example of an embodiment of the decorative material of the present invention, which is composed of basic modules, and the presentation of the wall space is infinite by combining the shapes and sizes of the basic modules. All installation is by magnet system, which is preferable because there is no possibility of installation failure, and you can enjoy unique decoration. In addition, because all of the materials used are traditional crafts, it is expected that a one-of-a-kind interior space will be created. Furthermore, as described above, the decorative body of the present invention is attached using a magnetic method, so the wall surface is naturally made of a material that enables the magnetic decorative body to be attached, and by having the flat base as the base also support a magnetic material, the robustness of the installation strength is significantly increased, making it possible to install heavy or fairly bulky decorative objects, or even magnetic wall vases that can hold a single flower, etc., and creating a special artistic space as desired.
[0024] (2) Details of the embodiment Figures 1 and 2 show a representative hexagon and its variations. It is a basic module for flat-based decoration, characterized by its design featuring colors and / or patterns based on traditional Japanese crafts. Hexagons in particular have been loved as mystical shapes since ancient times, and the regular polygons that can be used to tile a plane by filling the faces without any gaps include equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons, with the regular hexagon having the shortest circumference. It is also the most structurally stable combination of six equilateral triangles, and is found in many natural structures, such as honeycombs and snowflakes. Therefore, by determining the size of such hexagons, modularizing them, and combining them, it is possible to create original wall decorations with dignified beauty. Also, as shown in Figs. 8 and 14, customization can be done to unify the texture, allowing for a completely unique design configuration. Furthermore, as shown in the examples of Figures 12 and 13, various frame-structured design ideas can be fitted into a metal lattice and placed in the center of a room, for example, to create a unique and fantastical space that makes use of the depth of the room's walls. This makes it possible to create a dreamy design space with endless variations.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 3, the basic modules of the present invention can be combined in any way by changing the pattern, size, and base thickness of the same shape. Since each module is magnetic, it can be rearranged at any time as desired when the wall surface is made of steel plate. In addition, it is possible to create a uniform look according to the furniture configuration in the room, allowing you to create an amenity space that suits your tastes and mood.
[0026] Representative examples of colors and / or patterns based on traditional Japanese crafts that can be adopted in the present invention are specifically listed below, but these are merely examples, and any material that is suitable as a decorative material for the flat base of the present invention is broadly included without any restrictions.
[0027] ~Hakata weaving~ It is a silk fabric with a history of over 780 years since the Kamakura period, and is characterized by its firm and durable fabric. The most distinctive feature of Hakata-ori is the decoration of the space with hexagonal panels made with the "Kenjo Hakata" pattern.
[0028] ~Hakata Dolls~ One example is the "Hakata Dolls" which have a history of 400 years. In recent years, dolls that have been reborn as wall reliefs by leading craftsmen in the Hakata Doll world are suitable for selection.
[0029] ~Takatori ware~ The kiln has a history of over 420 years as the official kiln of the Kuroda clan, and its wall tiles are packed with the techniques of the head of the Takatori ware family, which has continued to preserve traditional techniques such as mortars and climbing kilns using secret books handed down from the first generation.
[0030] ~Kurume Kasuri~ Kurume Kasuri, which is hand-woven using hand-tied indigo dyeing and boasts outstanding beauty among all Japanese cotton kasuri, is one of the three major kasuri in Japan and has a long history dating back to the Edo period. Intricate, yet simple and warm, the kasuri pattern is used not only on kimonos but also on various items familiar to our daily lives.
[0031] ~Ogura Weaving~ Kokura-ori is a cotton fabric that has been woven in the Kokura domain in Buzen since the early Edo period and was prized throughout Japan for use in hakama and obi, including as a favorite of Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is characterized by three-dimensional vertical stripes that create a rhythm of color from the extensive use of warp threads, and a strong, supple texture.
[0032] Furthermore, Figures 4 and 5 show support plates that enhance the three-dimensional space or shape of the basic modules, and by adding variations in thickness and shape and combining them with basic modules, they add color to the wall space. Figure 6 shows an example of a presentation using an actual hexagonal basic module, and it is immediately clear that the combination of the support plates can add color to the entire wall space. In addition, as shown in Figures 7, 9 to 11, infinite variations can be achieved by changing the color, pattern, or by combining the size and shape as desired, or by changing the arrangement on the steel plate, turning the entire wall into an objet d'art, a work of art.
[0033] This is an example of utilizing Hakata Magemono. It is a piece that takes life from a tree that has grown over 200 years, and is given shape using 400 years of skill. It is a rare composition that has been arranged in a way that allows you to feel the technique and beauty of the multi-magemono, which is the work of a master craftsman, with the soft texture of the bare wood and the glossiness of the cherry bark that binds the thin boards together.
[0034] As disclosed in the prior art, the following building materials are known that place emphasis on design, and each of them has convenience in terms of design. For example, there are acrylic panels. Acrylic panels are highly transparent and come in a variety of colors and patterns, and when attached to interior walls, they can create unique light reflection and transmission effects.
[0035] Relief tiles are tiles with three-dimensional carvings that are suitable for adding decorative elements to interior walls. They come in a variety of designs and textures and can give a three-dimensional expression to the wall.
[0036] Wallpaper is a type of wallpaper that comes in a variety of colors and designs, and by sticking it on an interior wall, you can easily add patterns and textures. In recent years, there is also 3D wallpaper with a three-dimensional texture.
[0037] One example is wood paneling. Wood paneling is a highly designed wall material that uses the surface of natural wood. It has beautiful grain and texture, and can create a warm atmosphere. There are many different types of wood and finishes, so you can choose one that suits your taste and style.
[0038] Stainless steel panels are a material that can be used to realize modern and sophisticated designs. They feature a glossy surface and unique texture, and can give a stylish impression when attached to interior walls.
[0039] As shown in the above examples, the design composition of the walls can have various characteristics depending on the material selection, but each has its own suitability depending on the usage environment, and since there are constraints imposed, there are limits to creating an interior space with a high degree of freedom. In this regard, it is optional to combine the above-mentioned unique design materials with the basic module of the present invention as long as its effect is not impaired. For example, composite materials such as covering the surface of the basic module material with an acrylic panel are also acceptable to the extent possible. If a fantastic effect is required for each material, it is possible to combine it with any number of known technologies, such as using fluorescent materials for the surface coating or incorporating an electrically illuminating mechanism into the decorative body itself. As already mentioned, these can include not only the artificial ones mentioned above, but also arrangements of natural materials such as flowers and other plants.
[0040] For the wall side construction, it is essential to use a magnetic cloth base consisting of a steel plate and a film sheet as the base, and in order to provide an optimal magnetic field environment for the decorative body, the basic specification is to attach a film sheet as a finishing material on a steel plate of about 1 mm. The joints between the components are about 4 mm concave. Here is an example of a suitable wall construction. That is, a 1mm thick bonded steel plate is laid on the wall base material without any unevenness, and then a sheet or wallpaper is applied on top of it to finish it off. Normal wallpaper glue does not stick to steel plate, but by mixing the glue properly, it is possible to apply normal wallpaper, which greatly increases the range of interior design possibilities. This is an ideal method of construction, especially for renovation work, and is a convenient wall construction method in the expanding market for used home purchases, but it can also be said to be widely acceptable for rental apartments and the like. The base material on the wall has a stronger magnetic force than the magnetic sheets that have been widely used up until now. In the case of walls made of enamel, etc., joint material is required between the materials, and the joints have a convex shape, which is not preferable because it makes it difficult to attach products to these parts. In this regard, the present invention employs magnetic wall construction, which has strong magnetism, inconspicuous joints, and allows for decorative enjoyment. By making full use of the above technical configuration, it is possible to create an interior space with an original interior design, and the arrangement patterns are infinite thanks to the magnetic decorative elements.
[0041] The wall installation of this invention can be used not only as interior decoration but also as a convenient item, and is an installation that does not interfere with the indoor space. Heavy objects can be attached by simply changing the type of magnet, and wallpaper commonly used in homes and stores can also be used, so the magnetic wall is completely invisible in normal spaces. There is no limit to the range of installation, and since it is a commercial product that can be installed anywhere on the wall, there is no problem even in large areas. Since the base is supported by a magnetic material that is highly durable in terms of fixing, it is possible to create a stable spatial presentation. Conventionally, items are displayed on the wall by attaching them to nails or hooks, but with this invention, once the items are attached, they are fixed in place, which overturns the concept of those who hesitate to do so. It is easy to install, can be freely laid out, can store small items, does not interfere with the interior space and can be transformed into a family gallery. If a product using the installation method of this invention is used, the space can be transformed in an instant, and there are no decorative restrictions on how it can be used.
