Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to interior furnishings. [Background technology]
[0002] Curtains are known as interior items used to separate spaces. By separating spaces with curtains, for example, privacy can be easily ensured. Patent Document 1 discloses a hospital curtain having a water-repellent, flame-retardant, and antibacterial fiber structure. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-220784 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] For example, ordinary curtains have low breathability and light transmittance, making it difficult to achieve a suitable sense of openness. While it is conceivable to use thin fabrics to achieve a suitable sense of openness, there are limitations to how much the fabric can improve the sense of openness. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve a good visual effect by printing on thin fabrics.
[0005] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has as its main object to provide interior goods that combine a moderate sense of openness with a good visual effect. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present disclosure provides an interior goods item comprising a double raschel fabric and a printed portion printed on the double raschel fabric, wherein the double raschel fabric comprises a first layer formed by a plurality of fibers woven into a mesh using raschel knitting, a second layer formed by a plurality of fibers woven into a mesh using raschel knitting, and a connecting layer connecting the first layer and the second layer, wherein the surface of the first layer constitutes the first side of the double raschel fabric and the surface of the second layer constitutes the second side of the double raschel fabric, and the printed portion is disposed on at least one of the first side and the second side, contains a colorant, and imparts a visual design to the double raschel fabric. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] The present disclosure has the effect of providing an interior product that combines a moderate sense of openness with a good visual effect. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] 2A and 2B are a schematic perspective view and a schematic cross-sectional view showing a part of the interior item in FIG. 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating a double raschel fabric according to the present disclosure. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating a portion of a double raschel fabric according to the present disclosure. [Figure 5] 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating an example of an interior item according to the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] Below, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings etc. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the description of the embodiments exemplified below. Furthermore, to clarify the explanation, the drawings may show the width, thickness, and shape of each part schematically compared to the actual form, but this is merely an example and should not be construed as limiting.
[0010] In this specification, when expressing an aspect in which another component is placed on top of another component, the term "above" or "below" is used, unless otherwise specified, and includes both a case in which another component is placed directly above or below a component so as to be in contact with the component, and a case in which another component is placed above or below a component with another component in between.
[0011] Furthermore, in this specification, when expressing the manner in which another component is placed on the surface of a component, the terms "on the surface" or "toward the surface" are used, unless otherwise specified, and include both cases in which another component is placed directly above or below the surface of a component so as to be in contact with the surface, and cases in which another component is placed above or below the surface of a component with another component interposed between them.
[0012] The interior goods of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.
[0013] Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of an interior item according to the present disclosure. The interior item 20 shown in Fig. 1 has a double raschel fabric 10 and a printed area P printed on the double raschel fabric 10. The area of the double raschel fabric 10 where the printed area P is not formed may be referred to as a non-printed area Q.
[0014] Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view and a schematic cross-sectional view showing a part of the interior item in Figure 1. Specifically, Figure 2(a) is a schematic perspective view of the printed portion P, and Figure 2(b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the printed portion P. Figure 2(c) is a schematic perspective view of the non-printed portion Q, and Figure 2(d) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the non-printed portion Q.
[0015] As shown in Figures 2(a) to 2(d), the double raschel fabric 10 has a first layer 1 formed by weaving multiple fibers into a mesh using raschel knitting, a second layer 2 formed by weaving multiple fibers into a mesh using raschel knitting, and a connecting layer (connecting yarn) 3 connecting the first layer 1 and the second layer 2. The surface of the first layer 1 (the surface opposite the connecting layer 3) constitutes the first surface S1 of the double raschel fabric 10, and the surface of the second layer 2 (the surface opposite the connecting layer 3) constitutes the second surface S2 of the double raschel fabric 10. Furthermore, printed portions P shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b) are arranged on both the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. The printed portions P contain coloring materials and are used to impart a visual design to the double raschel fabric 10.
[0016] According to the present disclosure, by using double raschel fabric and further providing a printed portion on the double raschel fabric, an interior item can be created that combines a moderate sense of openness with a good visual effect. As described above, for example, typical curtains have low breathability and light transmittance, making it difficult to achieve a moderate sense of openness. While it is conceivable to use a thin fabric to achieve a moderate sense of openness, there are limitations to improving the sense of openness through the fabric. Furthermore, thinning the fabric reduces the three-dimensional effect, which tends to reduce the space-dividing function. Furthermore, it is difficult to impart a good visual effect through printing to thin fabric.
[0017] On the other hand, to achieve a moderate sense of openness, it is conceivable to use mesh fabric, for example. Although it is possible to adjust the sense of openness to some extent by adjusting the size of the openings in the mesh fabric, it is difficult to achieve a moderate sense of openness because the sense of openness is isotropic (not dependent on the viewing angle). In addition, because general mesh fabrics are thin, as mentioned above, their function as dividing spaces is easily reduced, and it is difficult to impart a good visual effect by printing.
[0018] In contrast, in this disclosure, double raschel fabric is used. Generally, fabrics are broadly classified into knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, and nonwoven fabrics. Knitted fabrics are further classified into warp knitting (warp knitting), in which yarns are continuously knitted in the warp direction, and weft knitting (fill knitting), in which yarns are continuously knitted in the weft direction. Known warp knitting methods include raschel knitting and tricot knitting. Ruschel knitting is further classified into single raschel fabrics and double raschel fabrics. Thus, double raschel fabric is a type of warp knitting (warp knitting), and as shown in Figures 2(a) to (d), has a first layer 1, a second layer 2, and a connecting layer 3 that connects the first layer 1 and the second layer 2.
[0019] Double raschel fabric has openings, making it highly breathable and translucent. Furthermore, double raschel fabric provides an anisotropic sense of openness (dependent on the viewing angle). Specifically, when viewed from the front, the overlapping area between the openings in the first layer and the openings in the second layer is large, providing a high sense of openness. On the other hand, when viewed from an angle, the overlapping area between the openings in the first layer and the openings in the second layer is small, providing a reduced sense of openness. This anisotropic sense of openness allows for a moderate sense of openness. Furthermore, because double raschel fabric is thick, it is easy to create favorable visual effects through printing. Furthermore, because double raschel fabric is thick, different visual designs can be applied to the first side (the surface of the first layer) and the second side (the surface of the second layer), providing a high degree of freedom of expression.
[0020] On the other hand, double raschel fabric is characterized by its thickness and strong texture due to the use of mainly synthetic fibers. Therefore, the applications of double raschel fabric have traditionally been limited. Specifically, it has been used primarily for sportswear or cushioning. In contrast, the present disclosure has discovered that by providing a printed area on double raschel fabric and imparting a visual design to the double raschel fabric, it can be suitably used as interior goods. By appropriately selecting the type of double raschel fabric and the content of the visual design, it can be developed into interior goods for a variety of uses.
[0021] 1. Double Russell fabric The double raschel fabric has a first layer made of a plurality of fibers knitted together in a mesh using raschel knitting, a second layer made of a plurality of fibers knitted together in a mesh using raschel knitting, and a connecting layer connecting the first and second layers.
[0022] (1) First layer The first layer is made of multiple fibers woven together in a mesh using a Russell knit. Fabrics with only the first layer are also called single Russell fabrics.
[0023] Examples of fibers constituting the first layer include synthetic fibers, natural fibers, and recycled fibers. Examples of synthetic fiber materials include aliphatic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, polybutylene succinate, polyethylene succinate, and polyglycolic acid; copolymers of the above aliphatic polyesters with aromatic polyesters; polyester elastomers; amide resins such as nylon; acrylic resins such as polyacrylonitrile; acetal resins such as vinylon; olefin resins such as polypropylene; and vinylidene chloride resins. Examples of natural fiber materials include cotton, linen, silk, and wool. Examples of recycled fiber materials include cupra rayon, viscose rayon, and lyocell. The fibers constituting the first layer may also be core-sheath composite fibers.
[0024] The first layer may be made of a single type of fiber or multiple types of fibers, and the fibers making up the first layer may contain additives such as antibacterial agents, antiviral agents, and antistatic agents.
[0025] The diameter of the fibers constituting the first layer is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 1.0 μm or more and 200 μm or less, or 5.0 μm or more and 150 μm or less, or 10.0 μm or more and 100 μm or less. The length of the longest part in the cross section of the fiber is measured at 10 or more points, and the average value is taken as the fiber diameter.
[0026] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and (c), the first layer 1 has a mesh shape and has openings R when viewed in the thickness direction (z direction). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the outer edge of the openings R is formed by woven fibers α. The shape of the openings R in a plan view is not particularly limited. For example, the openings R may be hexagonal as shown in FIG. 3(a), quadrilateral (e.g., square, rectangle, or diamond) as shown in FIGS. 3(b) and (c), or circular as shown in FIG. 3(d).
[0027] As shown in FIG. 4, the length of the longest part of the opening R is defined as L. The length L is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.3 mm or more and 10.0 mm or less, or may be 0.5 mm or more and 8.0 mm or less, or 1.0 mm or more and 6.0 mm or less. If the length L is too small or too large, it may be difficult to obtain an appropriate sense of openness. The length of the longest part of the opening R is measured at 10 or more locations, and the average value is defined as the length L.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, the width of the woven fibers α that form the outer edge of the opening R is defined as W. The width W is the length in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the woven fibers α (width direction). The width W is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.1 mm or more and 10.0 mm or less, or may be 0.2 mm or more and 8.0 mm or less, or 0.3 mm or more and 6.0 mm or less. If the width W is too small or too large, it may be difficult to obtain an appropriate sense of openness. The width of the woven fibers α is measured at 10 or more locations, and the average value is defined as the width W.
[0029] The ratio of the total area of the openings in the first layer to the area of the first layer (including the fibers and openings) in the thickness direction is defined as the opening ratio of the first layer. The opening ratio of the first layer is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 30% to 90%, or 40% to 85%, or 50% to 80%. If the opening ratio of the first layer is too low or too high, it may not provide an adequate sense of openness. Furthermore, if the opening ratio of the first layer is too high, it may be difficult to form a printed portion, and a good visual effect may not be achieved. The opening ratio of the first layer can be calculated by cutting a portion of the first layer (preferably an area where no printed portion is formed) to prepare a sample, and then calculating the area of the sample (including both openings and non-openings) and the total area of the openings in the sample. Ten or more samples are prepared, and the average opening ratio of these samples is defined as the opening ratio of the first layer.
[0030] The basis weight (mass per unit area) of the first layer is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 10 g / m 2 More than 500g / m 2 less than 20 g / m 2 More than 250g / m 2 It may be less than 30 g / m 2 More than 150g / m 2 The basis weight of the first layer may be less than 100%. The basis weight of the first layer can be determined by cutting a portion of the first layer (the area where the printed portion is not formed) to prepare a sample and then determining the size and mass of the sample. At least 10 samples should be prepared, and the average of the basis weights should be the basis weight of the first layer.
[0031] The thickness of the first layer is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm, or 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm, or 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm. The thickness of the cross section of the first layer is measured at 10 or more points, and the average value is taken as the thickness of the first layer.
[0032] (2)Second layer The second layer is made of multiple fibers woven into a mesh using a Russell knitting method. Details of the second layer are the same as those of the first layer described above, so a detailed description will be omitted here.
[0033] 2(a) and 2(c), in the thickness direction (z direction), the opening R1 in the first layer 1 and the opening R2 in the second layer 2 at least partially overlap. The openings R1 and R2 may completely overlap or only partially overlap.
[0034] (3) Connection layer The connection layer is disposed between the first layer and the second layer in the thickness direction and is configured to connect the first layer and the second layer.
[0035] 2(a) to 2(d), the connecting layer 3 is, for example, fibrous. Therefore, the double raschel fabric 10 can achieve good breathability not only in the thickness direction (z direction) but also in the plane direction normal to the thickness direction (z direction). Examples of fibers that make up the connecting layer 3 include synthetic fibers, natural fibers, and regenerated fibers. The materials for these fibers are the same as those for the fibers that make up the first layer described above.
[0036] The thickness of the connecting layer is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm, or 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm, or 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm. The distance between the first and second layers (distance in the thickness direction) in the cross section of the double raschel fabric is measured at 10 or more points, and the average value is taken as the thickness of the connecting layer.
[0037] (4) Double Russell fabric The double raschel fabric has the first layer, second layer, and connecting layer described above. As shown in FIGS. 2(b) and 2(d), one side of the first layer 1 (the side opposite the connecting layer 3) constitutes the first side S1 of the double raschel fabric 10, and one side of the second layer 2 (the side opposite the connecting layer 3) constitutes the second side S2 of the double raschel fabric 10. The shape of the double raschel fabric is not particularly limited, and it may be a sheet or may have a three-dimensional shape. Examples of three-dimensional shapes include polyhedrons, curved bodies, and mountain-like shapes.
[0038] The basis weight of the double raschel fabric is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 20 g / m 2 More than 1000g / m 2 less than 40 g / m 2 More than 500g / m 2 It may be less than 60 g / m 2 More than 300g / m 2 The method for measuring the basis weight is the same as that described above.
[0039] The thickness of the double raschel fabric is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.3 mm to 10 mm, or 0.6 mm to 8.0 mm, or 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm. The thickness is measured in the same manner as described above.
[0040] The breathability of the double raschel fabric in the thickness direction is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 50 cc / cm when measured according to JIS L1096 breathability test method (method A). 2 / sec or more, and 70cc / cm 2 / sec or more, and 90cc / cm 2 / sec or more. On the other hand, the upper limit of the air permeability is set appropriately depending on the use of the interior product.
[0041] The double raschel fabric may be flame retardant or non-flammable. For example, in a heat generation test according to ISO 5660-1 for double raschel fabric, (i) Total calorific value is 8 MJ / m 2 Below is the (ii) The maximum heat generation rate is 200 kW / m continuously for more than 10 seconds. 2 Not to exceed (iii) There are no cracks or holes that penetrate to the back surface that are harmful to fire prevention. It is preferable that the heating time that satisfies all of the above conditions is 5 minutes or more. Specifically, if the heating time is 5 minutes or more, it corresponds to a flame-retardant material under the Building Standards Act. If the heating time is 10 minutes or more, it corresponds to a semi-noncombustible material, and if the heating time is 20 minutes or more, it corresponds to a noncombustible material.
[0042] 2.Printing Department The printed portion is disposed on at least one of the first and second surfaces of the double raschel fabric, and includes a coloring material and provides a visual design to the double raschel fabric.
[0043] The printed portion contains a colorant. Known colorants can be used as the colorant, and may be pigments such as organic pigments and inorganic pigments, or may be dyes. Examples of inorganic pigments include black pigments such as carbon black, acetylene black, lamp black, aniline black, graphite, and iron black; and white pigments such as silica, calcium carbonate, and titanium oxide. Examples of organic pigments include azo pigments, azo lake pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, anthraquinone pigments, indigo pigments, thioindigo pigments, perylene pigments, perinone pigments, isoindolinone pigments, quinacridone pigments, and indanthrene pigments.
[0044] Examples of dyes include diarylmethane dyes, triarylmethane dyes, thiazole dyes, merocyanine dyes, pyrazolone dyes, methine dyes, indoaniline dyes, acetophenone azomethine dyes, pyrazoloazomethine dyes, xanthene dyes, oxazine dyes, thiazine dyes, azine dyes, acridine dyes, azo dyes, spiropyran dyes, indolinospiropyran dyes, fluoran dyes, naphthoquinone dyes, anthraquinone dyes, and quinophthalone dyes.
[0045] The printed portion may contain a binder resin, such as an olefin resin, a vinyl resin, a vinyl acetal resin, a (meth)acrylic resin, a urethane resin, an amide resin, an ester resin, a styrene resin, a carbonate resin, or a cellulose resin.
[0046] In the printed portion, the coloring material may penetrate into the fibers constituting the first or second layer. Alternatively, in the printed portion, the coloring material may coat the fibers constituting the first or second layer. The method for forming the printed portion is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include sublimation transfer printing, textile printing, dip printing, inkjet printing, and silk screen printing.
[0047] The printed portion is configured to impart a visual design to the double raschel fabric. "Visual design" refers to a design capable of conveying visual information. Examples of visual designs include at least one of colors, patterns, pictures, letters, figures, symbols, and signs. Furthermore, when viewed in the thickness direction, the printed portion may be disposed over the entire surface (first or second surface) of the double raschel fabric, or may be disposed on only a portion of the surface.
[0048] The printed section may be arranged on only one of the first and second surfaces, or may be arranged on both the first and second surfaces. In the latter case, the printed section arranged on the first surface is referred to as the first printed section, and the printed section arranged on the second surface is referred to as the second printed section. The visual design of the first printed section and the visual design of the second printed section may be the same or different.
[0049] Specific examples of cases in which the visual design of the first printed section differs from the visual design of the second printed section include (i) a case in which the first printed section is darker than the second printed section, (ii) a case in which the first printed section is lighter than the second printed section, (iii) a case in which the first printed section uses more colors than the second printed section, and (iv) a case in which the first printed section has a pattern (e.g., a landscape, illustration, or character) and the first printed section does not have a pattern. Furthermore, for example, to clearly distinguish the visual design of the first printed section from the visual design of the second printed section, the opening rate of the first layer constituting the double raschel fabric may be different from the opening rate of the second layer constituting the double raschel fabric. Similarly, the color of the first layer constituting the double raschel fabric may be different from the color of the second layer constituting the double raschel fabric.
[0050] 3. Interior goods The interior goods of the present disclosure have the double raschel fabric and printed portion described above. "Interior goods" are generally items used indoors or at the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, the use of the double raschel fabric in the interior goods of the present disclosure provides several excellent effects.
[0051] The interior products disclosed herein use double raschel fabric, and when used to divide a space, they can provide both a sense of openness and a sense of security to people enclosed by the interior product. As described above, double raschel fabric provides an anisotropic sense of openness (dependent on the viewing angle). Specifically, when viewed from the front, the overlapping area between the openings in the first layer and the second layer is large, providing a high sense of openness. On the other hand, when viewed from an angle, the overlapping area between the openings in the first layer and the second layer is small, reducing the sense of openness. A reduced sense of openness makes it easier to ensure privacy, leading to a sense of security.
[0052] Thus, the interior product of the present disclosure combines a sense of openness (ease of visibility) with a sense of security (impaired visibility). Therefore, the interior product of the present disclosure can be used, for example, (i) to separate a patient who is resting from a caregiver, (ii) to separate a child who is sleeping or resting from a caregiver, (iii) to separate animals (excluding humans) from people, or (iv) to separate adjacent seats in a workplace, school, home, restaurant, relaxation facility, or library. Furthermore, because the printed portion imparts a visual design to the double-raschel fabric, using the interior product of the present disclosure to divide a space can provide a new and unprecedented "way of dividing a space."
[0053] Furthermore, the interior goods of the present disclosure use double russell fabric, which is thicker than general fabrics, and therefore, compared to general fabrics, for example, they can achieve a good sense of firmness (shape retention) and a good sense of softness (cushioning). In other words, the interior goods of the present disclosure can achieve both a good sense of firmness and a good sense of softness compared to general fabrics.
[0054] Furthermore, the interior goods disclosed herein use double raschel fabric, which has a structure in which a first layer and a second layer are laminated via a connecting layer, thereby achieving a unique visual effect. Specifically, the impression of the printed portion on the double raschel fabric changes when viewed from the front and when viewed from an angle. Furthermore, because double raschel fabric is thick, different visual designs can be applied to the first side (the surface of the first layer) and the second side (the surface of the second layer), allowing for a high degree of freedom of expression. In this way, by providing a printed portion on the double raschel fabric, new visual effects not previously seen can be achieved.
[0055] Although the use of the interior product in the present disclosure is not particularly limited, it is preferably used to divide a space. An example of an interior product used to divide a space is an interior product used to divide an indoor space. As described above, the interior product in the present disclosure combines a sense of openness (ease of visibility) with a sense of security (impaired visibility), thereby providing a new and unprecedented "way of dividing a space." Specific examples of interior products used to divide an indoor space include curtains, noren curtains, bamboo blinds, partitions, and shades. Furthermore, interior products used to divide an indoor space may be used in hospitals (e.g., medical curtains), nurseries, kindergartens, or elementary schools (e.g., children's curtains), workplaces, schools, homes, restaurants, relaxation facilities, or libraries. Furthermore, interior products may be used to separate animals (excluding humans) from people (e.g., pet cage covers).
[0056] Other examples of interior products used to separate spaces include those used to separate outdoor and indoor spaces. The interior products of the present disclosure combine a sense of openness (ease of visibility) with a sense of security (impaired visibility), making them useful for separating outdoor and indoor spaces. Examples of interior products used to separate outdoor and indoor spaces include noren curtains (shop curtains), bamboo blinds, and shades. Furthermore, for example, by differentiating the aperture ratio (or color) of the first layer from the aperture ratio (or color) of the second layer, or by differentiating the print ratio (or color, design, or pattern) of the first printed portion from the print ratio (or color, design, or pattern) of the second printed portion, it is possible to change the visibility from outdoors to indoors and from indoors to outdoors. For example, when the interior product of the present disclosure is used as a store facade, the visibility from indoors to outdoors can be reduced (made difficult to see) and the visibility from outdoors to indoors can be increased (made easy to see) for the purpose of attracting customers. Furthermore, when the interior product of the present disclosure is used as a balcony partition, the visibility from outdoors to indoors can be reduced (made difficult to see) and the visibility from indoors to outdoors can be increased (made easy to see) for the purpose of protecting privacy. Furthermore, a printed portion with signs (e.g., information, advertisements) may be provided only on the exterior side of the interior product.
[0057] Other examples of interior products used to divide spaces include those used to cover transparent members. The interior products of the present disclosure are useful as covers for transparent members because they can provide both a moderate sense of openness and a good visual effect. For example, if a space is already partitioned by a transparent member such as glass or resin (e.g., a show window or display case), the transparent member can be covered with the interior product of the present disclosure. This can indicate, for example, that an exhibition has ended while still allowing some visibility of the interior separated by the transparent member. Furthermore, the interior product has excellent cushioning properties, allowing it to protect the transparent member. Examples of transparent members include transparent plates and transparent cases. A printed area bearing a mark (e.g., a trademark or logo) may be provided on the side of the interior product opposite the transparent member. The interior product may also have a tie and a fastener, allowing the double-raschel fabric to be rolled up.
[0058] Other examples of interior products used to divide spaces include interior products used for guidance or direction. The interior products of the present disclosure can provide both a moderate sense of openness and good visual effects, allowing for guidance or direction without disrupting the atmosphere of the space. Specific examples of interior products used for guidance or direction include guidance or direction signs used in museums, exhibition halls, or stores. Guidance or direction signs are, for example, hanging signs or partitions. For example, a printed section bearing a sign (guidance or direction) may be provided on only one side of the interior product. Furthermore, the content (e.g., the direction of an arrow) of the sign (guidance or direction) on one side of the interior product may be different from the content (e.g., the direction of an arrow) of the sign (guidance or direction) on the other side of the interior product. Alternatively, the pattern (or design) on one side of the interior product and the pattern (or design) on the other side of the interior product may be the same pattern (or design). Furthermore, a mark (for example, a trademark or logo) on one side of an interior item and a mark (for example, a trademark or logo) on the other side of the interior item may be a common mark (for example, a trademark or logo).
[0059] Other examples of interior products used to divide spaces include those used to block light emitted from a light source. The interior products of the present disclosure can achieve both a moderate sense of openness and good visual effects, thereby imparting new visual effects to the light emitted from the light source. Examples of interior products used to block light emitted from a light source include curtains, noren curtains, bamboo blinds, partitions, shades, and light covers. Furthermore, when the light source is off, the appearance is blurred, similar to conventional fabrics, but when the light source is on, the appearance is clearer, unlike conventional fabrics. Therefore, new visual effects (presentations) can be imparted by turning the light source on and off. For example, the reflectivity of the surface of the interior product facing the light can be increased by a printed portion, while a pattern of interior materials or furniture can be printed on the printed portion on the surface opposite the light to blend in with the space.
