Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] The finishing material according to the present invention can be suitably used for any part (eaves, ceiling, wall, etc.) in the interior or exterior of any building (such as a house). The building according to the present invention can be suitably applied to any building (such as a house).

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the finishing material and building according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Common components and parts in each figure are denoted by the same reference numeral.

[0019] Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a building B according to one embodiment of the present invention, which is equipped with a plurality of finishing materials F according to any embodiment of the present invention on its exterior (specifically, the soffit), as seen from a diagonally downward side. As illustrated in Figure 1, the finishing materials F of each example described herein can be suitably used on any part (soffit, ceiling, wall, etc.) of the interior or exterior of any building B (house, etc.). Building B comprises a base material M and a plate-shaped finishing material F installed on top of the base material M in its interior or exterior (see Figures 4 and 6). The finishing material F may be fixed to the base material M by any method during construction. For example, the finishing material F may be fixed to the base material M by multiple fasteners T (screws, nails, etc.) (see Figures 2 and 3). In this case, during construction, the multiple fasteners T are driven into the finishing material F from the opposite side of the base material M, so that the shaft of each fastener penetrates the finishing material F and enters the interior of the base material M, while the head of each fastener T remains on the finished surface S of the finishing material F. After the fasteners T are driven in, touch-up paint may be applied to the heads remaining on the finished surface S to make them less noticeable.

[0020] Figure 2 is a schematic plan view showing two finishing materials F according to the first embodiment of the present invention butted together. Figure 3 is a schematic plan view showing two finishing materials F according to the second embodiment of the present invention butted together. Figure 4(a) is a schematic AA cross-sectional view showing an example of a cross-section along line AA in Figures 2, 3, and 5, and Figure 4(b) is a schematic BB cross-sectional view showing an example of a cross-section along line BB in Figures 2 and 3. Figure 5 is a schematic plan view showing three finishing materials F according to any one embodiment of the present invention, each with a portion cut out, butted together. Figure 6 is a schematic CC cross-sectional view showing an example of a cross-section along line CC in Figure 5. In the cross-sectional views of Figures 4 and 6, the base material M is also shown for reference. In the following, for the sake of clarity, various embodiments of the present invention, including the first and second embodiments shown in Figures 2 and 3, will be described in parallel.

[0021] The finishing material F is in the form of a plate, with one of its sides forming the finishing surface S. The finishing surface S exhibits a color or pattern for aesthetic purposes. In this specification, "color pattern" refers to a design consisting of only a color, or a combination of a color and a pattern. The finishing material F is configured such that the side opposite to the finishing surface S rests on the base material M and is fixed to the base material M (see Figures 4 and 6).

[0022] The finishing material F may have a rectangular shape in plan view before installation, as shown in the embodiments of Figures 2 and 3. In the embodiments of Figures 2 and 3, the finishing material F has a pair of vertical sides VE and a pair of horizontal sides LE. The vertical sides VE and horizontal sides LE are perpendicular to each other.

[0023] As illustrated in Figure 5, when the finishing material F is applied to the interior or exterior of building B, it may be cut to a shorter length or to a different shape (such as a triangle) as needed to match the shape and dimensions of the area to be applied. In the example in Figure 5, the left rectangular finishing material F is cut in the vertical direction VD midway along its extension in the horizontal direction LD to make it shorter, and a cut edge CE is formed there. The two finishing material F pieces on the right are cut diagonally along directions inclined in both the horizontal direction LD and the vertical direction VD to form triangles, and their respective cut edges CE are butted together to form a cut edge butt joint RC2. Furthermore, the upper of the two triangular finishing material F pieces on the right is cut in the vertical direction VD on the left side, and a cut edge CE is also formed there. The cut edge CE of the left finishing material F and the cut edge CE of the adjacent triangular finishing material F are butted together to form a cut edge butt joint RC1 (see also Figure 6). The arrangement of finishing material F as shown in the example in Figure 5 can be used, for example, when installing finishing material F at the corner of an eaves ceiling.

[0024] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, when describing the composition of finishing material F, it is assumed that the description refers to the composition of finishing material F in its pre-installation state.

[0025] In this specification, any and predetermined direction in a plan view of the finishing material F is defined as the "vertical direction (VD)," and the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction VD in a plan view of the finishing material F is defined as the "horizontal direction (LD)." The vertical direction VD may be a direction parallel to any one side of the finishing material F. In each embodiment of Figures 2 to 3, the direction parallel to the vertical side VE of the finishing material F is defined as the vertical direction VD, and the direction parallel to the horizontal side LE of the finishing material F is defined as the horizontal direction LD. Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, in this specification, the side of the finishing material F (and thus the finished surface S) that is farther from the center of the vertical direction VD is referred to as the "outside in the vertical direction (VD)," and the side of the finishing material F (and thus the finished surface S) that is closer to the center of the vertical direction VD is referred to as the "inside in the vertical direction (VD)." Furthermore, in this specification, the direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction VD and the transverse direction LD is referred to as the "thickness direction (DD)" (see Figures 4 and 6). In Figures 2 to 6, these directions are represented with arrows as appropriate.

[0026] As illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, the finished surface S of each embodiment of the present invention has a plurality of linear portions 1 and a plurality of strip portions 2. Each linear portion 1 extends in the vertical direction VD. Each strip portion 2 is partitioned between the plurality of linear portions 1 and extends in the vertical direction VD. Each linear portion 1 is linear, and each strip portion 2 is strip-shaped. That is, the width W (length of the horizontal LD) of each strip portion 2 is longer than the width W (length of the horizontal LD) of each linear portion 1. The linear portion 1 and the strip portion 2 can be distinguished by differences in color, pattern, and / or texture. In each embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, each linear portion 1 extends in a straight line and is parallel to one another. In each embodiment of Figures 2 to 3, each linear portion 1 and each strip portion 2 extends from one horizontal side LE to the other horizontal side LE. In each embodiment of Figures 2 to 3, each linear portion 1 is located on a pair of vertical sides VE of the finishing surface S. As in each embodiment of Figures 2 to 3, the pair of linear portions 1 located on the pair of vertical sides VE of the finishing surface S may be configured such that, when the vertical sides VE of the finishing material F and the other finishing material F are butted together (Figures 2 to 3), the linear portions 1 on the vertical sides VE of the two finishing materials F that are butted together at the edge abutting portion RE (boundary portion) of the two finishing materials F combine to form a single linear portion 1 that has the same appearance as each linear portion 1 located lateral LD ​​inward from the pair of vertical sides VE of the finishing surface S.

[0027] The cross-sectional views AA and BB in Figure 4 are parallel to the lateral direction LD and the thickness direction DD, respectively. As illustrated in Figure 4, in each embodiment of Figures 2 to 3, each linear portion 1 has a recessed groove that is more recessed than each strip-shaped portion 2. More specifically, in each embodiment of Figures 2 to 3, each linear portion 1 located inside the lateral direction LD of the pair of vertical sides VE of the finished surface S has a roughly U-shaped concave shape in a cross section parallel to the lateral direction LD and the thickness direction DD, where only the side facing the finished surface S in the thickness direction DD is open (Figure 4(a)). Here, "roughly U-shaped" is a concept that includes shapes such as trapezoidal, triangular, U-shaped, and quadrilateral shapes, as in the example in Figure 4(a). On the other hand, each linear portion 1 located on the pair of vertical sides VE of the finished surface S has a roughly semi-U-shaped concave shape (the shape of one side when a roughly U-shape is vertically divided into two) in a cross section parallel to the lateral direction LD and the thickness direction DD, where the side facing the finished surface S in the thickness direction DD and the outside of the lateral direction LD are open (Figure 4(b)). As a result, when the vertical sides VE of two finishing materials F are butted together (Figures 2-3), the linear portions 1 on the vertical sides VE of the two finishing materials F that are butted together combine at the butt joint RE (boundary line) between the two finishing materials F to form a single roughly U-shaped concave shape in a cross section parallel to the horizontal direction LD and the thickness direction DD (Figure 4(b)). Consequently, the overall structure presents a single linear portion 1 having the same appearance as each linear portion 1 located inside the horizontal direction LD from the pair of vertical sides VE of the finishing surface S.

[0028] However, each linear portion 1 may be flush with each strip portion 2, or it may be a convex ridge that protrudes more than each strip portion 2.

[0029] Each linear portion 1 may have any color or pattern. The color or pattern of each linear portion 1 may, for example, consist only of color (only one predetermined color) without any pattern.

[0030] In Figures 2-3 and 5, for convenience, the color patterns of each band-shaped section 2 are schematically shown using hatching (not the actual color patterns). The same type of hatching is used for the same type of color pattern, and different types of hatching are used for different types of color patterns. Therefore, the color patterns of each band-shaped section 2 described herein may differ from the color patterns exhibited by the hatching of each band-shaped section 2 in Figures 2-3 and 5. The color and pattern of each strip-shaped section 2 may consist of a combination of color and pattern, or it may consist of only color (only one predetermined color). When the color and pattern of the strip-shaped section 2 consists of a combination of color and pattern, the color exhibited by the strip-shaped section 2 will be uneven. When the color and pattern of the strip-shaped section 2 consists of a combination of color and pattern, examples of patterns for the strip-shaped section 2 include stone-like, sand-like, and wood-grain patterns.

[0031] In each embodiment described herein, the plurality of band-shaped portions 2 include a plurality of low-luminance band-shaped portions 2L and a plurality of high-luminance band-shaped portions 2H (Figures 2 to 3). Each low-luminosity band 2L has a minimum value of lightness of the color pattern it exhibits that is less than a predetermined lightness value. Each high-luminosity band 2H has a minimum value of lightness of the color pattern it exhibits that is equal to or greater than the predetermined lightness value. In this specification, "lightness" refers to the lightness in the Munsell color system, expressed as a numerical value on an 11-point scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white), with lower lightness values ​​indicating a darker color. Furthermore, in this specification, the "minimum value of lightness" in the band-shaped portion 2 (low-lightness band-shaped portion 2L, high-lightness band-shaped portion 2H) refers to the lightness of the area with the lowest lightness in the color pattern exhibited by the band-shaped portion 2.

[0032] In each embodiment described herein, as described above, the plurality of band-shaped portions 2 include a plurality of low-luminosity band-shaped portions 2L and a plurality of high-luminosity band-shaped portions 2H (Figures 2 to 3). Therefore, the color patterns of each band-shaped portion 2 are not all the same (i.e., they are non-uniform). This increases the randomness and complexity of the color pattern of the finished surface S compared to the case where the color patterns of each band-shaped portion 2 are all the same (i.e., uniform), thereby improving the aesthetic appearance when the finishing material F is applied. For example, as shown in the example in Figure 5, when two adjacent finishing materials F are cut vertically in the direction VD on the strip-shaped portion 2 at a construction site, and their cut edges CE are butted together, the butt joint portion RC1 of the cut edges may have a different appearance from the linear portion 1 (see also Figure 6). However, according to each embodiment described herein, since the multiple strip-shaped portions 2 include multiple low-luminosity strip-shaped portions 2L and multiple high-luminosity strip-shaped portions 2H, the butt joint portion RC1 of the cut edges becomes less noticeable and less jarring. Furthermore, when fixing the finishing material F to the base material M with fasteners T (screws, nails, etc.), the fasteners T (specifically, the heads of the fasteners T remaining on the finished surface S, and / or the touch-up paint that may be applied thereon) can be made less noticeable when the fasteners T are driven into the low-luminosity band-shaped area 2L than when the fasteners T are driven into the high-luminosity band-shaped area 2H (see Figures 2-3). Therefore, if some or all of the fasteners T are driven into the low-luminosity band-shaped area 2L, the fasteners T (specifically, the heads of the fasteners T remaining on the finished surface S, and / or the touch-up paint that may be applied thereon) can be made less noticeable overall. In other words, even when the high-luminosity band area has a lighter finish, it is easy to improve the aesthetic appeal of the finish surface. The luminosity of the high-luminosity band area is preferably 7 to 9, and more preferably 8 to 9. The luminosity of the low-luminosity band area is preferably 5 to 7, and more preferably 6 to 7. Furthermore, the difference between the luminosity of the high-luminosity band area and the luminosity of the low-luminosity band area is preferably 2 to 4, and more preferably 2.5 to 3.5.

[0033] In this specification, the terms "not the same" and "non-uniform" are not limited to cases where all elements are different, but also include cases where some elements are the same as others, while the rest are different.

[0034] As mentioned above, from the viewpoint of making the fasteners T less conspicuous, it is preferable that in building B, each fastener T is driven into one of the low-luminosity band-shaped areas 2L.

[0035] In each example described herein, the color patterns of the multiple low-luminance band-like portions 2L on the finished surface S may be the same, or they may not be the same (i.e., they may be non-uniform), as in the examples in Figures 2 and 3. Similarly, the color patterns of the multiple high-luminance band-like portions 2H on the finished surface S may be the same, or they may not be the same (i.e., they may be non-uniform), as in the examples in Figures 2 and 3. As shown in the examples in Figures 2 and 3, when the color patterns of multiple low-luminosity band-shaped areas 2L are uneven, and / or when the color patterns of multiple high-luminosity band-shaped areas 2H are uneven, the randomness and complexity of the color pattern of the finished surface S are further increased, thereby further improving the aesthetic appeal when the finishing material F is applied. From a similar viewpoint, it is more preferable that the color patterns of the multiple low-luminance band-shaped portions 2L differ from each other (i.e., there are no multiple low-luminance band-shaped portions 2L exhibiting the same color pattern), and / or that the color patterns of the multiple high-luminance band-shaped portions 2H differ from each other (i.e., there are no multiple high-luminance band-shaped portions 2H exhibiting the same color pattern).

[0036] In each example described herein, the minimum values ​​of lightness of the color patterns exhibited by each low-lightness band 2L may or may not be the same (i.e., they may be non-uniform). Similarly, the minimum values ​​of lightness of the color patterns exhibited by each high-lightness band 2H may or may not be the same (i.e., they may be non-uniform).

[0037] In each example described herein, it is preferable that the range of brightness values ​​of the color patterns exhibited by each low-brightness band 2L is wider than the range of brightness values ​​of the color patterns exhibited by each high-brightness band 2H. This increases the randomness and complexity of the color patterns of the finished surface S, and also makes the fasteners T less noticeable when they are driven into the low-brightness band 2L, thereby further improving the aesthetic appearance when the finishing material F is applied. Herein, in this specification, the "range of lightness values" in the band-shaped portion 2 (low-lightness band-shaped portion 2L, high-lightness band-shaped portion 2H) refers to the difference between the lightness of the lowest-lightness location (minimum lightness value) and the lightness of the highest-lightness location (maximum lightness value) in the color pattern exhibited by the band-shaped portion 2. Furthermore, the ranges of lightness values ​​of the colors and patterns exhibited by each low-lightness band 2L may be the same or different (i.e., they may be non-uniform). Similarly, the ranges of lightness values ​​of the colors and patterns exhibited by each high-lightness band 2H may be the same or different (i.e., they may be non-uniform).

[0038] In each example described herein, it is preferable that one of the low-luminosity band-shaped portions 2L is located at each of the multiple first predetermined lateral positions P1 arranged at first predetermined intervals K1 along the lateral direction LD, as shown in the embodiments in Figures 2 to 3. Here, for lateral LD ​​positions other than the multiple first predetermined lateral positions P1, either the low-luminosity band-shaped portion 2L or the high-luminosity band-shaped portion 2H may be located. Each of these multiple first predetermined lateral positions P1 has a higher probability of having fasteners T driven into it during construction than the other lateral LD ​​positions. In this industry, it is customary to drive fasteners T into the finishing material F at regular intervals, and the positions where they are driven in are often known to some extent in advance. The interval at which the fasteners T are driven in is often about 1 / 2 or 1 / 3 of the total length of the finishing material F. It is preferable that the above-mentioned multiple first predetermined lateral positions P1 be set at such positions. It may be stipulated or recommended, through some method (such as a webpage or written document), that fixing devices T be driven into the above-mentioned multiple first predetermined lateral positions P1 during construction. Since one low-luminosity band-shaped portion 2L is located at each of the above-mentioned multiple first predetermined lateral positions P1, the likelihood of each fastener T being driven into the low-luminosity band-shaped portion 2L increases, thereby making the fasteners T even less conspicuous after construction. The first predetermined interval K1 is preferably set to a length of approximately 1 / 2 or 1 / 3 of the total length of the lateral LD ​​of the finishing material F. In each embodiment of Figures 2 to 3, the first predetermined interval K1 is set to a length of approximately 1 / 2 of the total length of the lateral LD ​​of the finishing material F.

[0039] In each example described herein, as shown in the embodiment of Figure 3, in addition to the plurality of first predetermined lateral positions P1, one low-luminosity band-shaped portion 2L may also be located at each of the plurality of second predetermined lateral positions P2 arranged along the lateral direction LD at second predetermined intervals K2 different from the first predetermined interval K1. Here, for lateral LD ​​positions other than the plurality of first predetermined lateral positions P1 and the plurality of second predetermined lateral positions P2, either a low-luminosity band-shaped portion 2L or a high-luminosity band-shaped portion 2H may be located. Similar to the plurality of first predetermined lateral positions P1, each of these plurality of second predetermined lateral positions P2 has a higher probability of having fasteners T driven into them during construction than the other lateral LD ​​positions. The second predetermined interval K2 is preferably set to a length of approximately 1 / 2 or 1 / 3 of the total length of the lateral LD ​​of the finishing material F. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the second predetermined interval K2 is set to a length of approximately 1 / 3 of the total length of the lateral LD ​​of the finishing material F. In addition to the multiple first predetermined lateral positions P1, each of the multiple second predetermined lateral positions P2 also has at least one low-luminosity band-shaped portion 2L. This allows for the case where the fastener T is driven into the first predetermined lateral position P1 and the case where it is driven into the second predetermined lateral position P2. As a result, the probability of each fastener T being driven into the low-luminosity band-shaped portion 2L is further increased, and in turn, the fastener T can be made even more inconspicuous after construction.

[0040] In each example described herein, it is preferable that the widths W of the multiple strip-shaped portions 2 on the finished surface S are non-uniform, as shown in the embodiments of Figures 2 to 3. In other words, it is preferable that there are multiple types of widths W for the multiple strip-shaped portions 2. This increases the randomness and complexity of the color and pattern of the finished surface S compared to the case where the widths W of all the strip-shaped portions 2 are the same (i.e., uniform), thereby improving the aesthetic appearance when the finishing material F is applied. For example, as shown in the example in Figure 5, when two adjacent finishing materials F are cut vertically in the direction VD on the strip-shaped portion 2 at a construction site, and their cut edges CE are butted together, the butt joint RC1 of the cut edges may look different from the linear portion 1 (see also Figure 6), and may appear as if they are a single continuous piece. If the width W of each strip-shaped portion 2 is the same (i.e., uniform), the spacing between the pairs of linear portions 1 adjacent to both sides of the butt joint RC1 will differ from the spacing between linear portions 1 in other parts, which may make the vicinity of the butt joint RC1 stand out and create an unnatural appearance. On the other hand, as shown in the embodiments in Figures 2 and 3, if the widths W of multiple strip-shaped portions 2 are uneven, the spacing between the linear portions 1 in other parts is also uneven, so the vicinity of the butt joint RC1 will appear less unnatural and less noticeable. From a similar viewpoint, it is more preferable that the widths W of the multiple strip-shaped portions 2 on the finished surface S are different from each other (i.e., there are no multiple strip-shaped portions 2 having the same width W), as shown in the embodiments of Figures 2 to 3.

[0041] In each example described herein, it is preferable that low-luminosity bands 2L and high-luminosity bands 2H are arranged randomly (irregularly) or alternately along the horizontal direction LD. This increases the randomness and complexity of the color pattern of the finished surface S, thereby further improving the aesthetic appeal when the finishing material F is applied. Furthermore, "low-luminosity bands 2L and high-luminosity bands 2H are arranged alternately" means that one or more low-luminosity bands 2L and one or more high-luminosity bands 2H are arranged alternately multiple times. In the example in Figure 2, it can be said that one low-luminosity band 2L and three high-luminosity bands 2H are arranged alternately multiple times. In the example in Figure 3, it can be said that the low-luminosity bands 2L and high-luminosity bands 2H are arranged randomly. [Industrial applicability]
