Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for applying decorative panels to the wall surfaces of buildings, and more particularly to a base material and application method used for interior decoration, for example. [Background technology]

[0002] Decorative panels are generally used to create a sense of space in a variety of environments, and are often hung like paintings to enhance the aesthetic appeal of walls. For example, decorative panels are described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-170995 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2023-75379 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a design panel that uses moss on a wall and has functions such as purifying the air, but the moss is fixed to a magnetic sheet, which may limit the method of fixing it to the wall. Also, the feel of the moss changes depending on the humidity in the air, and external impacts may damage the edges of the moss design panel or change the design from when it was installed, so there is room for improvement.

[0005] Patent document 2 describes a simple and flexible installation method for the base material of decorative plates, but there is room for improvement in terms of the number of parts required for installation and versatility, as decorative parts are required to cover the periphery of the decorative plate after installation and only decorative plates that are compatible with the base material can be installed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a base material for a decorative plate that is approximately U-shaped in cross section, with one or more mounting portions on an approximately square fixing surface, decorative edges that rise approximately vertically in the same direction on all four sides of the fixing surface, and multiple protrusions on the decorative edges.

[0007] Also provided is a construction method using a base material, which includes a step of fixing the same number of magnets as the mounting parts to the construction surface, a step of applying the base material to the construction surface by bringing the mounting parts and the magnets into contact, and a step of pressing a decorative plate onto the base material to fit it in. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, the decorative board can be applied to any type of surface, and a high level of design can be ensured as a decorative board on any type of wall. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Fig. 11(a) is a perspective view of a conventional interior base material 110, and Fig. 11(b) shows an embodiment when the conventional interior base material 110 is used. Fig. 12 shows another embodiment of a decorative plate base material 1 according to the present invention.

[0011] The directions shown in each figure indicate the direction of each drawing, with the back side being the construction surface side and the front side indicating the direction in which the decorative board base material 1 and decorative boards 21 are stacked.

[0012] FIG. 1 shows a decorative plate substrate 1 according to the present invention, with FIG. 1(a) being a front view and FIG. 1(b) being a perspective view. The decorative plate substrate 1 has a fixing surface 2 on the back side that is roughly square in front view, and multiple mounting portions 3 and fixing holes 4. The mounting portion 3 is roughly cylindrical and protrudes toward the front side. The size of the mounting portion 3 should be designed to match the magnet 41 shown in FIG. 4. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the height from the fixing surface 2 to the front-rear axis is approximately 2 to 7 mm, and the diameter is approximately 15 to 25 mm. Furthermore, the number of mounting portions 3 does not necessarily have to be four; the number can be reduced as long as sufficient mounting strength is ensured. The decorative plate substrate 1 is molded from iron, stainless steel, or an alloy containing these.

[0013] The mounting portion 3 has a fixing hole 4 in the center, preferably about 5 to 7 millimeters in diameter. The fixing surface 2 has four sides that are raised substantially perpendicularly toward the front, forming a decorative edge 5 with multiple protrusions 6. The angle between the fixing surface 2 and the decorative edge 5 is preferably 90 degrees or less, and the height of the decorative edge 5 is preferably about 15 to 20 millimeters. By providing two protrusions 6 on each side of the decorative edge 5, the decorative plate 21 can be securely fitted in and prevents it from falling off. Furthermore, the fixing surface 2 can have one or more through holes 7. It is preferable to provide the through holes 7 at one of the four corners of the fixing surface, rather than in the center. In Figure 1(b), the through holes 7 are shown by dotted lines because they are hidden by the decorative edge 5.

[0014] Fig. 2 shows a decorative plate 21 that uses the decorative plate base material 1 according to the present invention, with Fig. 2(a) showing a side view and Fig. 2(b) showing a perspective view. The decorative plate 21 is roughly square when viewed from the front, with a decorative surface 22 on the frontmost side and legs 23 extending roughly perpendicularly from the four sides of the decorative surface 22 toward the rear side. The legs 23 are provided with a long hole 24, a medium hole 25, a round hole 26, a recess 27, and a notch 28, and each part of the legs 23 is arranged point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the decorative surface 22.

[0015] The decorative plate 21 of the present disclosure has a side length of approximately 25 millimeters and can be installed by rotating it along the central axis of the decorative surface 22, so that various designs can be realized by combining multiple pieces. The decorative plate 21 of the present disclosure is made of metal such as titanium or aluminum. In addition to metal surfaces, the decorative surface 22 can also be made of plant-based panels such as a moss panel 32, wood grain panel 33, or flower panel 34 as shown in Figure 3. In the examples of the present disclosure, the metal panel 31 of Figure 3(a) and the moss panel 32 of Figure 3(b) will be used for explanation.

[0016] FIG. 11 shows an interior base material 110, a conventional example of the decorative plate base material 1 of the present invention. FIG. 11(a) is a perspective view, and FIG. 11(b) is a diagram of the installation state. The interior base material 110 is roughly square in front view, has a surrounding portion 112 with the opposite side of the fixing surface 111 raised roughly vertically, a support portion 113 and a protrusion 114 at the end of the surrounding portion 112, and a fixing hole 116 in the fixing surface 111, resulting in a roughly U-shaped cross section. The interior base material 110 is compatible with the decorative plate 21, which can be installed point-symmetrically. However, after installation, the legs 23 of the decorative plate 21 are visible, necessitating the use of a molding 117 for design considerations. The molding 117 can be made of a variety of frame materials, including metal, wood, and plastic, allowing for great design flexibility. However, due to increased costs and installation effort, the decorative plate base material 1 of the present invention is designed to also serve as the edge of the decorative plate 21.

[0017] FIG. 4 illustrates a method for installing a decorative board base material 1 according to the present invention, showing the process of fastening a magnet 41 to an installation surface 42 at the desired location. The magnet 41 is preferably a neodymium magnet with a central hole 43, as shown in FIG. 4. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the magnet 41 has an outer diameter of approximately 15 mm, a thickness of approximately 3 mm at the front and rear axes, and a diameter of approximately 5 mm for the hole 43. If the installation surface 42 is gypsum board, the fastener 44 is installed through the hole 43 using commercially available gypsum board anchors and gypsum board screws. A screw-type gypsum board anchor with a diameter of approximately 4 mm, which does not require drilling, can be used.

[0018] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a method for producing a moss panel 32 using a decorative board base material 1 according to the present invention. The moss 61 is, for example, Scandia moss, which is collected from Scandinavian forests and subjected to a preservation treatment. The moss 61 is produced by adhering and fixing it to the decorative board base material 1 with an adhesive 62, or by adhering and fixing the moss 61 to a magnetic sheet with an adhesive 62, as disclosed in JP 2021-170995 A, and then fixing it to the decorative board base material 1. The adhesive 62 is preferably an epoxy resin, acrylic resin, or silicone resin, which has good adhesion to metal.

[0019] The moss 61 may expand, shrink, or change shape due to changes in the moisture content of the air. However, the decorative edge 5 prevents the moss 61 from expanding more than necessary and also reduces damage from external impacts. It is preferable to use moss 61 so that it slightly extends beyond the decorative edge 5, as this improves the appearance. In the example of the present disclosure, the moss 61 extends approximately 25 millimeters from the fixing surface 2 to the front side.

[0020] Figure 6 shows a method for installing the decorative board base material 1 according to the present invention. When the installation surface 42 is gypsum board, the magnet 41 installed in Figure 4 is installed so that it overlaps the mounting part 3. By forming the mounting part 3 to protrude from the fixing surface 2 toward the front side, interference with the magnet 41 can be eliminated, and the gap between the decorative board base material 1 and the installation surface 42 can be made as narrow as possible.

[0021] Figure 7 shows an example of the installation of a metal panel 31 and a moss panel 32, in which the metal panel 31 is installed by pressing it against the decorative board base material 1. By pressing, the protrusions 6 of the decorative board base material 1 catch on the long holes 24 of the decorative board 21, so it is structured so that it does not easily fall off. However, to ensure sufficient installation strength, it is preferable to use an adhesive 71.

[0022] 8 and 9 are diagrams showing the position where adhesive 71 is used. It is preferable to use adhesive 71 at the corner formed by fixing surface 2 and decorative edge 5, and it is recommended to use an epoxy resin, acrylic resin, or silicone resin that has good adhesion to metal. It is also preferable to use adhesive 71 so that it does not leak out of through-hole 7.

[0023] Figure 10 shows another embodiment using the decorative board base material 1 according to the present invention, in which the wood grain panel 33 of Figure 3(c) and the flower panel 34 of Figure 3(d) are used. With the product of the present invention, any design can be applied to the decorative surface 22, and these can be combined and arranged freely, allowing for a high level of design flexibility.

[0024] The decorative plate substrate 1 has one or more through holes 7. The through holes 7 can be used to separate the decorative plate substrate 1 and the decorative plate 21 even after they have been pressed together. As described above, the decorative plate substrate 1 and the decorative plate 21 are designed not to easily fall off (separate), but situations may arise where separation is necessary. To separate the decorative plate substrate 1 and the decorative plate 21 after installation, the decorative plate 21 can be removed from the decorative plate substrate 1 by inserting a hard rod-shaped object into the back side of the through hole 7 and applying pressure. In the example disclosed herein, a rod with a diameter of approximately 5 mm and a length of approximately 70 to 100 mm (e.g., a commercially available wooden or metal round rod) can be used to separate the two. Note that if the through holes 7 are located near the center of the fixing surface 2, the force applied when pressing the decorative plate 21 with the rod will be dispersed, potentially preventing successful separation. On the other hand, if the through holes 7 are located near the four corners of the fixing surface 2, the force applied when pressing from the through hole 7 side will be applied only to the ends of the decorative plate 21, making it easier to separate from the decorative plate base material 1, so it is preferable to locate the through holes 7 away from the center of the fixing surface 2.

[0025] In addition to the examples disclosed herein, the construction surface 42 may be made of plywood or veneer, and the construction method in this case will be described below. When the construction surface 42 is made of plywood or veneer, commercially available wood screws can be used as the fasteners 44, so construction is carried out by using the fasteners 44 (wood screws) in the holes 43 of the magnets 41. Alternatively, construction can be carried out directly on the construction surface 42 through the fixing holes 4 in the decorative board base material 1 without using magnets 41.

[0026] Furthermore, if the application surface 42 is made of metal, the magnet 41 can be attached directly to the application surface 42, and then the decorative plate base material 1 and decorative plate 21 can be applied to the front side of the magnet 41.

[0027] By using magnets 41 to attach decorative plate base material 1 to installation surface 42, it becomes possible to remove decorative plate base material 1 and decorative plate 21 as a unit, which is an effective means for rearranging decorative plates 21. Furthermore, if installation surface 21 is made of metal, simply attaching with magnets 41 will not damage installation surface 21, and the placement of decorative plates 21 can be easily changed after installation.

[0028] In the example of the present disclosure, the decorative plate base material 1 is designed so that the protrusions 6 and the long holes 24 catch on each other, as shown in Fig. 9, but the position and shape of the protrusions 6 can be freely designed as long as they are effective in preventing detachment between the protrusions 6 and the legs 23. For example, it is possible to provide the protrusions 6 at positions corresponding to the round holes 26 and the medium holes 25 as shown in Fig. 12, or to lengthen the protrusions 6 so that the entire legs 23 fit into the decorative plate base material 1, or to reduce the number of mounting parts 3.
