AI Technical Summary
Existing attachment structures for panel bodies on irregular wall surfaces face challenges with poor workability and accuracy due to the need to insert spacers with vertically extending holes into hidden screw positions, making it difficult to confirm proper fitting.
A spacer with horizontally long holes and open left and right ends is inserted from the left and right directions, allowing screws to enter the holes in a visible state, improving workability and ensuring accurate positioning.
This approach simplifies the spacer insertion process, ensures secure screw engagement, and enhances the stability of the spacer's incorporation, thereby improving the overall workability and accuracy of panel body attachment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of an attachment structure of a panel body attached to a wall surface.
Background Art
[0002] Today, there are demands such as improving the design by attaching a panel body (decorative panel board) to a wall surface. In such a case, a vertical joint material is further screwed to the surface of a base material screwed to the wall surface, and the panel body is attached to the wall surface by fitting and locking a locking projection provided on the vertical joint material into a locking hole provided on the back surface of the panel body (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, the wall surface may be formed as a wall surface with irregularities. When the vertical joint material is screwed to such a wall surface with irregularities, the vertical joint material is also attached in a state of being distorted with irregularities following (imitating) the irregularities of the wall surface. As a result, when attaching the panel body to such a vertically distorted joint material with irregularities, not only does the workability of attaching the panel body deteriorate, but there are also problems such as the panel body being attached in an inclined state. Therefore, there has been proposed a method of correcting the irregular distortion of the vertical joint material by inserting and attaching a spacer in the gap between the wall surface and the vertical joint material (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3).

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] However, all of those that correct the uneven distortion using the spacer have the spacer formed with a vertically extending long hole with an open lower end, and are configured to be attached by fitting and incorporating it from above with respect to the screws for fixing the vertical joint material to the wall surface. Therefore, when fitting and incorporating the spacer, the spacer is moved downward after being inserted into the gap between the vertical joint material and the wall surface. At this time, the work of inserting the vertically extending long hole formed in the spacer into the screw in a state where it is hidden by the spacer and cannot be directly visually recognized is required, which not only results in poor workability, but also causes problems such as inability to confirm whether it has been fitted and incorporated into the predetermined position. These are the problems to be solved by the present invention.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] The present invention was created for the purpose of solving these problems in view of the above circumstances. The invention according to claim 1 is configured such that a vertically long flat plate-shaped vertical joint material is screwed to a wall surface, and locking holes formed at the left and right edge portions facing the wall surface of the panel body are locked to a plurality of locking protrusions formed in a vertical row with a gap in the vertical joint material, so that the panel body can be attached to the wall surface of the panel body. In the attachment structure of the panel body, when inserting a flat plate-shaped spacer into the gap between the wall surface and the vertical joint material to make the vertical joint material planar, the spacer is formed with a horizontally long hole with open left and right ends, and is inserted and incorporated from the left and right directions so that the screw enters the long hole in the gap at the screw attachment site between the wall surface and the vertical joint material. It is a panel body attachment structure characterized by this. The invention according to claim 2 is the attachment structure of the panel body according to claim 1, characterized in that a plurality of screws for fixing the vertical joint material to the wall surface are implemented in a horizontal row, and the spacer is inserted and incorporated in a state where a plurality of screws in a horizontal row enter the long hole. The invention according to claim 3 is the attachment structure of the panel body according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the spacer is provided with a protruding portion that protrudes from the edge of the vertical joint material on the insertion and incorporation side in a state where it is inserted and incorporated into the gap between the wall surface and the vertical joint material. The invention according to claim 4 is the attachment structure of the panel body according to claim 3, characterized in that the spacer is provided with marking means serving as a mark for being inserted and incorporated into the gap between the wall surface and the vertical joint material. The invention according to claim 5 is the attachment structure of the panel body according to claim 4, characterized in that the marking means is provided at the boundary between the insertion part inserted between the wall surface of the spacer and the vertical joint material and the protruding part protruding from the edge of the vertical joint material. The invention according to claim 6 is the attachment structure of the panel body according to claim 5, characterized in that the marking means is a notch formed at at least one of the upper and lower edges of the spacer.
Effect of the Invention
[0006] By adopting the invention according to claim 1, when a vertical joint material for attaching a panel body is screwed to a wall surface with irregularities, a spacer inserted between the wall surface and the vertical joint material to correct the irregularities generated in the vertical joint material is formed with long holes that are long in the left - right direction and have openings at the front ends in the left - right direction. As a result, the spacer can be inserted into the gap between the wall surface and the vertical joint material in a visible state aiming at the screw from the vertical edge of the vertical joint material so that the long holes allow the screws to enter. This not only facilitates the insertion operation of the spacer but also enables the spacer to be inserted with the screws securely inserted into the long holes. By adopting the invention according to claim 2, the insertion and incorporation of the spacer into the long holes formed in the spacer is in a state where a plurality of screws arranged in a left - right row for fixing the vertical joint material to the wall surface enter. Therefore, the inserted and incorporated spacer is prevented from rotating by the plurality of screws entering, and a stable incorporation of the spacer can be achieved. By adopting the invention according to claim 3, as a result, the spacer inserted and incorporated into the gap between the wall surface and the vertical joint material is provided with a protruding part protruding from the edge of the vertical joint material on the insertion - incorporation side. Thus, the insertion and incorporation can be performed while gripping the protruding part, improving the workability. By adopting the invention of claim 4, when inserting and incorporating the spacer into the gap between the wall surface and the vertical joint material, the insertion work can be carried out based on the marking means serving as a mark indicating that it has been inserted and incorporated, and thus the spacer can be surely inserted and incorporated. By adopting the invention of claim 5, as the marking means is provided at the boundary between the insertion portion inserted between the wall surface of the spacer and the vertical joint material and the protruding portion protruding from the edge of the vertical joint material, the spacer only needs to be inserted up to the marking means, so that the workability is improved. By adopting the invention of claim 6, since the marking means is a notch formed at least on one of the upper and lower edges of the spacer, the marking means can be easily formed.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a panel body, which is attached and fixed to a wall surface W of a building via vertical joint members 2 provided with gaps on the left and right. However, in the present embodiment, the vertical joint members 2 are not directly attached and fixed to the wall surface W, but are attached and fixed to the wall surface W via screws 3a with a base material 3 interposed between the wall surface W and the vertical joint members 2. The panel body 1 is attached and fixed to the wall surface W by fitting and locking locking holes 1a provided on the back surfaces (surfaces facing the wall surface W) of the left and right edge portions of the panel body 1 into a pair of left and right locking projections 2d provided on the vertical joint members 2 as will be described later. All of these are the same as in the prior art.
[0009] Horizontal long flat ceiling-side members and floor-side members (ceiling rail members, floor rail members) 4 and 5 are attached to the upper and lower edge portions of the wall surface W. On the other hand, the base material 3 is formed in a vertically long flat plate shape having the same thickness (for example, 1 mm) as the ceiling-side member 4 and the floor-side member 5, and is attached to the wall surface W via screws 3a in a state where it is not laminated with the ceiling-side member 4 and the floor-side member 5 between the lower end edge 4b of the ceiling-side member 4 and the upper end edge 5b of the floor-side member 5. In contrast, the vertical joint member 2 is set to be narrower in the left-right width than the base material 3 and is in a vertically long flat plate shape. By being applied to the surface (front surface, front) of the screw-fixed base material 3, the base material 3 is interposed between the wall surface W and the vertical joint member 2 and is arranged, and is attached and fixed to the wall surface W via screws 2a. The upper and lower end edges 2b and 2c of the vertical joint member 2 are set to be attached and fixed to the wall surface W via screws 2a in a state of being polymerized (laminated) from the surface side with respect to the ceiling-side member 4 and the floor-side member 5. And the vertical joint member 2 is attached in a state where the base material 3 is interposed in this way, so that the upper and lower end edges 2b and 2c are attached and fixed in a state of being laminated with the ceiling-side member 4 and the floor-side member 5, and are attached and fixed to the wall surface W in a state of being raised by the thickness of the ceiling-side member 4 and the floor-side member 5. In this case, the positions of the screws 2a for fixing the vertical joint material 2 are arranged such that a pair of them are located on the vertical column lines X in a vertically aligned row side by side left and right.
[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of locking protrusions 2d are formed on the vertical joint material 2 with gaps in the vertical direction, with a pair of them being arranged side by side left and right with gaps at the left and right edge portions notched, and the left and right locking protrusions 2d are formed in a state where they are located or substantially located on the vertical column line X of the screw 2a. The panel body 1 has locking holes 1a formed at both left and right ends of the back surface (rear surface, back side) facing the wall surface W of the panel body 1, and by locking the locking holes 1a to the locking protrusions 2d, the panel body 1 can be attached to the wall surface W via the vertical joint material 2.
[0011] In the attachment structure of the panel body 1 configured in this way, as a result of the unevenness of the wall surface W, the base material 3 directly attached to the wall surface W via the screw 3a also has unevenness following the unevenness of the wall surface W. To correct (eliminate) this unevenness, a spacer 6 is inserted and incorporated into the gap S between the base material 3 at the concave portion and the flat vertical joint material 2. In this case, the spacer 6 is formed using a flat plate material having a horizontally long rectangular shape that is longer in the left - right direction than the left - right width of the vertical joint material 2, and the spacer 6 has long holes 6c that are long in the left - right direction and open at the side edges of the front edge portions 6a in the left - right direction.
[0012] When there is a gap S between the base material 3 and the vertical joint material 2 due to the uneven distortion of the wall surface W at the fixing portion by the pair of screws 2a arranged in a row left and right of the vertical joint material 2, the spacer 6 is inserted and incorporated into the gap S in the loosened screwed - in state of the screw 2a to correct the uneven distortion. In the case of the incorporation operation of the spacer 6 in this case, the spacer 6 holds the protruding portion on the proximal end side portion 6b side that will protrude from the vertical joint material 2 when inserted into the gap S, and with the leading edge portion 6a in the gap S between the base material 3 and the vertical joint material 2, the left and right screws 2a are inserted into the long holes 6c (fitted), and the spacer 6 is inserted and moved in the left - right direction from the left vertical edge 2f on one side of the vertical joint material 2 toward the right vertical edge 2g on the other side. After that, by tightening the relaxed screws 2a, the vertical joint material 2 is tightly attached in a substantially flat state. And by configuring it in this way, the spacer 6 will be supported by the left and right screws 2a at two points, and will be assembled in a state where it is prevented from rotating.
[0013] In this case, on the spacer 6, a concave groove 6d is formed on the upper edge as a mark for confirming whether the insertion position (depth) into the gap S is accurately inserted to the depth at which the left and right screws 2a are fitted into the long holes 6c. And in this embodiment, the spacer 6 is configured such that when it is inserted and incorporated with the groove edge on the proximal end side of the U - shaped concave groove 6d serving as this mark coinciding with the insertion - side vertical edge 2f, it is inserted and incorporated into the predetermined incorporation position in a state where the concave groove 6d cannot be visually recognized.
[0014] However, as the concave groove 6d serving as a mark, it may be configured such that the spacer 6 can be incorporated into a predetermined position by inserting and incorporating it with the groove edge on the tip side coinciding with the insertion - side vertical edge 2f. In this case, in the insertion and incorporation operation of the spacer, it is of course possible to execute the incorporation operation of the spacer 6 to the predetermined position by inserting it until the concave groove 6d disappears from sight. Incidentally, when providing a mark on the spacer 6, it may be a V - shaped concave groove instead of a U - shaped one. In this case, the bottom end of the V may be used as the mark position. Also, it may be simply a linearly formed (engraved) mark, or conversely, a convexly formed one. And when forming such a mark on the spacer 6, it may be formed not on the upper edge but on the lower edge, both the upper and lower edges of the spacer 6, or even in the middle portion in the vertical direction.
[0015] In the present embodiment configured as described above, when attaching the vertical joint material 2 for attaching the panel body 1 to the base material 3 which also has an uneven state by being attached to the uneven wall surface W via screws 2a, in order to correct the unevenness generated in the vertical joint material 2 and attach the vertical joint material 2 in a flat state, a spacer 6 is inserted between the base material 3 and the vertical joint material 2. The spacer 6 has a long hole 6c that is long in the left - right direction with the front - end edges 6a in the left - right direction being open. Then, with respect to the gap S formed between the concave base material 3 and the vertical joint material 2 set in a flat state, the long hole 6c can be inserted into the screw 2a in a visible state aiming at the screw 2a from either one of the left - right vertical end edges 2f of the vertical joint material 2. As a result, not only is the insertion operation of the spacer 6 facilitated, but the spacer 6 can be inserted with the screw 2a surely inserted into the long hole 6c.
[0016] Moreover, in this case, the spacer 6 is inserted and incorporated into the gap S in a state where a pair of screws 2a arranged in a left - right row for fixing the vertical joint material 2 to the wall surface W enter the long hole 6c. Therefore, the inserted and incorporated spacer 6 is such that the left - right pair of screws enter the long hole 6c and are prevented from rotating, and a stable incorporation of the spacer can be achieved. When inserting and incorporating such a spacer 6 into the gap S, the spacer 6 is wider in the left - right direction than the vertical joint material 2, and as a result, a protruding portion on the base - end edge portion 6b side that protrudes from the vertical end edge 2f on the insertion - incorporation side of the vertical joint material 2 is provided. Thus, the insertion and incorporation can be performed while gripping the protruding portion, improving workability.
[0017] Furthermore, when inserting and incorporating the spacer 6 into the gap S between the base material 3 and the vertical joint material 2, a concave groove 6d serving as a mark of the insertion and incorporation is formed. As a result, the insertion operation can be performed as a mark such that the edge of the concave groove 6d coincides with the vertical end edge 2f of the vertical joint material 2, and the spacer 6 can be surely inserted and incorporated. As a result of the concave groove 6d serving as the marking means being provided at the boundary between the insertion part inserted between the base material 3 of the spacer 6 and the vertical joint material and the protruding part protruding from the edge of the vertical joint material 2, the spacer 6 can be inserted with the concave groove 6d serving as a guide, improving workability. Moreover, since the concave groove 6d serving as the marking means is formed at the upper edge of the spacer 6, it can be easily formed.
[0018] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the vertical joint material 2 can also be implemented by directly fixing it to the wall surface W with screws without using the base material 3 as in the above-described embodiment. In this case, as the spacer 6, as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 9, by inserting and incorporating it into the gap S formed between the vertical joint material 2 and the wall surface W, the unevenness of the wall surface W can be corrected, and the vertical joint material 2 can be attached in a flat state.
