Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a panel that can be used, for example, as a table top or a partition, and more specifically, to a panel that contains decorative material such as kumiko work and allows the contained decorative material to be seen through. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, panels that contain visible kumiko work are known. The panel described in Patent Document 1 comprises opposing front and back materials, and a core material that is located between the front and back materials and forms a hollow space. The kumiko work is arranged in the hollow space. The front and back materials are made of a transparent resin material, so that the kumiko work can be seen from the outside. The front and back materials, and the core material are fixed with an adhesive. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2023-106240 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, according to Patent Document 1, there is a hollow space between the front and back materials, so the strength of the entire panel is low, limiting the uses of the panel. In addition, since kumiko is made by combining thin pieces of wood, the strength of the kumiko itself is low and it is prone to crumbling when subjected to impact.

[0005] The objective of this invention is to provide a panel in which decorative materials such as kumiko work can be seen from the outside, and in which the decorative materials and the entire body are strong. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] This device comprises a main body and a decorative material contained within the main body, the decorative material being a panel visible from the outside of the main body, the main body being formed from a filled and hardened resin, and the decorative material being fixed by the resin. According to this invention, the main body is made of resin and the decorative material is fixed with this resin, so the strength of the entire panel can be improved. This panel can be used for various purposes.

[0007] The decorative material is made of wood and is entirely covered with the resin. The decoration can be fixed in place by covering the entire periphery of the decorative material with resin. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the panel of this invention, the main body is made of resin and the decorative material is fixed with this resin, so the strength of the entire panel can be improved. Therefore, this panel can be used for various purposes. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a plan view of a panel according to the first embodiment. [Diagram 2] Cross-sectional view of line II-II in Figure 1. [Diagram 3] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a panel according to a second embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] (First embodiment) (Panel 1) 1 and 2 show a panel 1 of a first embodiment. The panel 1 includes a main body 2 and a decorative material 3 contained in the main body 2. In Fig. 1, the decorative material 3 is shown to be visible through the transparent main body 2.

[0011] (Main body 2) The main body 2 forms a cube with opposing front and back surfaces 21 and 22, upper and lower surfaces 23 and 24, and left and right surfaces 25 and 26. The terms up and down and left and right do not uniquely define the position, but are used as examples for the purpose of explanation. Such a main body 2 is formed from a filled and hardened resin. The resin must be transparent enough to at least allow the decorative material 3 to be visible. As such a resin, a hardened resin such as an epoxy resin can be used. Here, "transparent" means having a degree of transparency that allows the enclosed decorative material 3 to be visible.

[0012] In the main body 2, the decorative material 3 can be seen at least from both the front surface 21 and the back surface 22. In this embodiment, the decorative material 3 can also be seen from the upper surface 23 and the lower surface 24, and the left side surface 25 and the right side surface 26. However, depending on the use and arrangement of the panel 1, the decorative material 3 may be visible from either the front surface 21 or the back surface 22, or only a part of it may be visible. Also, the decorative material 3 may not be visible from the upper surface 23, the lower surface 24, the left side surface 25, and the right side surface 26.

[0013] (Decoration material 3) In this embodiment, a wooden frame 31 and kumiko work 32 formed on the inside of the frame 31 are used as the decorative material 3. The frame 31 and the kumiko work 32 can be seen from the outside of the main body 2. The decorative material 3 is covered all around with resin. Specifically, the decorative material 3 is placed in a container and filled with resin, thereby obtaining a main body 2 in which the decorative material 3 is covered all around with resin. By covering the decorative material 3 with resin in this way, the decorative material 3 can be fixed. In particular, decorative materials made of thin pieces of wood such as kumiko work have low strength and are prone to breakage, but by covering them with resin, they can be reinforced and their strength can be improved. The strength of the main body 2 as a whole can be maintained by making the main body 2 out of filled resin. By providing a frame 31 that holds the kumiko work 32 as the decorative material 3, it is possible to prevent the kumiko work 32 from collapsing and to improve the strength of the main body 2.

[0014] By ensuring the strength of the panel 1 as described above, the panel 1 can be used as a table top, a partition, or a door. Also, a separate outer frame or the like may be attached to the panel 1. With such a panel 1, the main body 2 has transparency, so decorations such as kumiko work can be seen, and the light and scenery on the other side of the panel 1 can be felt, providing a panel with high aesthetic appeal and little feeling of oppression.

[0015] In such a panel 1, the main body 2 is formed from resin and the decorative material 3 can be fixed, so there is no need for other adhesives, screws, or other materials for fixing the decorative material 3, making it possible to manufacture a panel 1 with a reduced number of parts. In addition, since the decorative material 3 can be prevented from coming into contact with air, deterioration of the decorative material 3 due to oxidation can also be prevented.

[0016] Second embodiment 3 shows the second embodiment. In this embodiment, only kumiko work 32 is used as the decorative material 3. In other words, it differs from the first embodiment in that a frame 31 is not provided as the decorative material 3. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0017] In the second embodiment, no frame is provided, which further emphasizes the delicate beauty of the kumiko work 32. Even without providing a frame, the kumiko work 32 can be prevented from collapsing by covering the entire periphery with resin, and the strength of the panel 1 can be maintained.

[0018] In the first and second embodiments, the panel 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped, but is not limited to this and may have various shapes depending on the application, installation location, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
