AI Technical Summary
Conventional expanded metal products have gaps that hinder complete space blocking and visibility issues, limiting their use as partitions.
A metal wave plate is formed by overlapping and fixing expanded metals diagonally to create a single, gap-free plate, and applying different colors to enhance decorative value.
The solution provides a decorative partition that effectively blocks space and adds aesthetic value by filling gaps, enabling versatile usage such as securing private areas.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a metal wave plate formed by stacking and bundling expanded metals made of aluminum into a single plate shape.
Background Art
[0002] Conventionally, expanded metal has been used for fences and the like. By stacking expanded metals, the gaps are filled and it becomes a single plate. By becoming a plate, it can be used in more diverse ways than wall materials or interiors. Also, by creating it with colored expanded metal, an original pattern can be created, enabling multiple designs.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] When using a single expanded metal, since it is a wire mesh and has gaps, it is difficult to completely block the space as a partition, and there are problems such as the wallpaper being visible even when attached to the wall.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] A metal wave plate formed by overlapping and fixing expanded metals diagonally to form a single plate
[0005] A metal wave plate characterized by applying different colors to aluminum expanded metals.
Effects of the Invention
[0006] By creating a pattern through coloring, more value as a decoration emerges, and when partitioning a space by filling the gaps, it can be used in various ways such as securing a private area.
Brief Description of the Drawings
[0007] [Figure 1]Configuration of the metal wave plate of the present invention [Figure 2] Side view of the metal wave plate of the present invention [Figure 3] Manufacturing method flowchart [Figure 4] Manufacturing process 1 [Figure 5] Manufacturing process 2 [Figure 6] Manufacturing process 3 [Figure 7] Manufacturing process 4 [Figure 8] Artworks using this invention [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] Expanded metal is made by cutting a metal sheet in a staggered pattern using a special machine, while simultaneously expanding it to create a diamond-shaped mesh. By overlapping these expanded metal pieces diagonally as shown in Figure 4, overlapping them until there are no gaps as shown in Figure 5, passing cable ties through the locations shown in Figure 6, and securing them as shown in Figure 7, a single plate (metal wave plate) like the one in Figure 1 is created.
[0009] As shown in the flowchart in Figure 3 and in Figures 4 through 7, the expanded metal is layered. To secure the metal wave plate, cable ties are passed through the gaps at all four ends and fastened in place.
[0010] Figure 8 shows an example of an artwork using metal wave plates. This is an art piece that can be mounted on a wall by placing a metal wave plate in a special frame. [Explanation of Symbols]
[0011] 1. Expanded metal 3,4,5 joint 6 Cable ties
Claims
1. A metal wave plate is made by overlapping and fixing expanded metal diagonally to form a single plate.
2. The metal wave plate according to claim 1, characterized in that the aluminum expanded metal is given a different color.
