[0010] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

[0011] 1 to 12 show a multi-purpose building component (hereinafter, multi-purpose component) 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This multi-purpose component 1 has a structure that allows it to be used, for example, as a curtain with heating, soundproofing and light-blocking functions. As shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the multi-purpose component 1 includes a panel member 2, an end block 3, a cushioning mat 4, a cover sheet 5, a heat generating sheet 6 and a power supply terminal 7. The multi-purpose component 1 has an elongated shape extending in one direction, and the direction in which it extends elongated is defined as the longitudinal direction L, and the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction is defined as the width direction M in the following description.

[0012] The entire panel member 2 is formed from a thin plate made of a lightweight, hard material such as a light metal such as aluminum or plastic. The panel member 2 has a main body 2a extending in the longitudinal direction L and two fixing pieces 2b provided at both ends of the main body 2a in the width direction M. The entire main body 2a is in the form of a wave-shaped curved plate. Since the main body 2a is in the form of a plate, it is given sound insulation properties and has a soundproofing function.

[0013] The fixing pieces 2b are formed on both ends of one side of the main body 2a by raising both ends in the width direction M of the main body 2a and folding back and bending the raised ends. The fixing pieces 2b have a small width, and the fixing pieces 2b on both ends of the main body 2a are spaced apart. The fixing pieces 2b are members for fixing the end block 3, the buffer mat 4, and the cover sheet 5 to the panel member 2. In this case, the heat generating sheet 6 is attached by being sandwiched between one side of the main body 2a and the buffer mat 4.

[0014] The two end blocks 3 are provided at both ends of the panel member 2 in the longitudinal direction L. The two end blocks 3 are formed in the shape of rectangular blocks with a length substantially equal to the length dimension in the width direction M of the main body 2a of the panel member 2. The two end blocks 3 extend along the width direction M of the main body 2a. The end blocks 3 are formed with a thickness equal to the height of the fixing piece 2b of the panel member 2. The end blocks 3 are fixed to both ends of the panel member 2 in the longitudinal direction L by fitting both ends in the width direction M into the fixing piece 2b. Flexible materials such as foamed resin and rubber are used for the end blocks 3, and since they can be bent, they can be easily fitted into the fixing piece 2b. In this embodiment, the end blocks 3 may be omitted, which reduces the number of components and simplifies assembly of the multi-use member 1.

[0015] The buffer mat 4 extends along the longitudinal direction L of the panel member 2, and is sandwiched between the two end blocks 3. Therefore, the buffer mat 4 is disposed in the space between the two end blocks 3. The combined length of the buffer mat 4 and the two end blocks 3 is the same as the length of the main body 2a of the panel member 2. The buffer mat 4 is formed in a block shape with a thickness equal to the height of the fixing piece 2b of the panel member 2, similar to the end blocks 3, and is fixed to the panel member 2 by fitting both ends in the width direction M into the fixing piece 2b. The buffer mat 4 is made of a buffer material such as nonwoven fabric, cotton material, or foamed resin. By using such a buffer material, the entire multi-purpose member 1 has sound absorption, heat insulation, and heat retention functions.

[0016] The cover sheet 5 has a length that extends somewhat upward beyond the panel member 2. The cover sheet 5 is stretched over one side of the panel member 2 so as to cover the end block 3 and the buffer mat 4. This prevents the end block 3 and the buffer mat 4 from being exposed and visible from the panel member 2. The cover sheet 5 is made of a fabric such as curtain material or a flexible, thin plastic sheet, and the use of curtain material can add decorativeness to the room.

[0017] In the cover sheet 5, an excess portion 5a extending above the panel member 2 is engaged with a hanging member 10, which will be described later. In addition, the upper and lower ends of the cover sheet 5 in the longitudinal direction L are attached to the end blocks 3 by hook-and-loop fasteners 8 (see FIG. 5), which prevents the cover sheet 5 from becoming loose or wrinkled and improves the appearance of the cover sheet 5.

[0018] The heat generating sheet 6 has two adjacent heat generating elements 6a, 6b formed in a strip shape. The two heat generating elements 6a, 6b are attached to one side of the main body 2a of the panel member 2 while being positioned between the upper and lower end blocks 3. The heat generating elements 6a, 6b can be easily attached to the panel member 2 by fitting both ends of the buffer mat 4 into the fixing pieces 2b, fixing the buffer mat 4 to one side of the panel member 2, and sandwiching the buffer mat 4 between the panel member 2. In this embodiment, the heat generating sheet 6 may be sandwiched between flexible resin sheets (not shown), and both ends of the resin sheet in the width direction M may be fitted into the fixing pieces 2b of the panel member 2 to attach the sheet to the panel member 2.

[0019] The two heating elements 6a, 6b extend along the longitudinal direction L of the main body 2a of the panel member 2, and power supply electrodes 6c, 6d are formed on one longitudinal side. The other longitudinal sides of the heating elements 6a, 6b (the side opposite the power supply electrodes 6c, 6d) are interconnected by a connection electrode 6e. A power supply terminal 7 is connected to the heating elements 6a, 6b. The power supply terminal 7 is drawn out to the outside of the panel member 2 and connected to an external power source.

[0020] The multi-purpose member 1 with the heat generating sheet 6 inside thus generates heat by connecting the power supply terminal 7 to an external power source, so that the multi-purpose member 1 becomes warm while in use. Therefore, the multi-purpose member 1 can have a heating function that warms the surrounding environment in which it is used.

[0021] In the above multi-purpose member 1, the hard panel member 2 provides sound insulation, the cushioning mat 4 provides sound absorption and heat insulation, and the heat generating sheet 6 provides a heating function as it becomes warm. This allows the multi-purpose member 1 to function as a heating, soundproofing, and light blocking member. For example, by hanging the multi-purpose member 1 in a room like a curtain, it can provide light blocking, heating, and soundproofing. Moreover, there is no need to assemble a structure that has these functions.

[0022] Next, a case where this embodiment is used as a curtain will be described with reference to Figs. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the excess portion 5a of the cover sheet 5 is engaged with the hanging member 10. The hanging member 10 has a hanging bar 10a, and the hanging bar 10a is inserted into the bag-shaped excess portion 5a of the cover sheet, thereby attaching the cover sheet 5 to the hanging member 10, and the entire multi-purpose member 1 is hung from the hanging member 10. The central portion of the hanging member 10 is provided with a hook receiving portion 10b, and the entire multi-purpose member 1 is hung from a curtain rail 12 via the hook receiving portion 10b and a runner 15, which will be described later (see Figures 6 to 8). As the above-mentioned hanging member 10, the structure described in JP-A-2008-38372 can be used.

[0023] When used as a curtain, the curtain rail 12 shown in FIG. 6, the runner 15, the power supply rail 16, and the electrical connection member 17 shown in FIGS.

[0024] Runner 15 has a rectangular box-shaped runner portion 18 and a support bar 19 that extends in the left-right direction and supports runner portion 18. Runner portion 18 is disposed inside curtain rail 12 and moves within curtain rail 12. This causes the entire runner 15 to move along curtain rail 12.

[0025] A slide hole 20 and a hook rotation hole 21 are formed through the runner portion 18. An electrical connection member 17 is formed on each of the left and right support bars 19. Each electrical connection member 17 has a button-shaped contact 22 and a connection cord 23 connected to the contact 22. The power supply terminal 7 provided on the multi-purpose member 1 is connected to the connection cord 23. A hook 13 hangs down from the center of the support bar 19 in the longitudinal direction. The hook receiving portion 10b of the hanging member 10 is engaged with the hook 13.

[0026] The power supply rails 16 are provided on both sides of the curtain rail 12 in an extended state in the same manner as the curtain rail 12. The power supply rails 16 on both sides are brought into contact with contactors 22 on both sides provided on the runners 15, and the contactors 22 slide in this contact state. As a result, power is supplied to the heating sheet 6 of the multi-purpose member 1 via the connection cord 23 and the power supply terminal 7, and the heating sheet 6 generates heat. The heating sheet 6 can be provided with a switch (not shown) that turns the power supply to the sheet 6 on and off, and a controller (not shown) that adjusts the power supply.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 9, inside the curtain rail 12, a slide rod 26 and a hook rotation rod 27 are provided in parallel, the slide rod 26 penetrates the slide hole 20 of the runner 15 in an engaged state, and the hook rotation rod 27 penetrates the hook rotation hole 21 of the runner 15 in an engaged state. When the slide operation rope 28 is operated, the slide rod 26 rotates and the runner 15 slides left and right along the curtain rail 12. On the other hand, when the rotation operation rope 29 is operated in the forward and reverse directions, the hook 13 rotates. This rotation rotates the multi-purpose member 1 in the forward and reverse directions. FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 show the change of the multi-purpose member 1 as a curtain by operating the rotation operation rope 29, and the curtain can be changed to an open state as shown in FIG. 10 and a closed state as shown in FIG. 11.

[0028] 12 to 15 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a multi-purpose member 1A is applied to a shade.

[0029] The multi-purpose member 1A has a flat plate-like shape for the multi-purpose member 2, and the other structures are the same as those of the first embodiment. In the multi-purpose member 1A, the main body 2a of the panel member 2 is flat, and two end blocks 3 and a shock-absorbing mat 4 are attached to the panel member 2, and a cover sheet 5 covers one side of the panel member 2. In addition, a heat generating sheet 6 is sandwiched and fixed between one side of the main body 2a of the panel member 2 and the shock-absorbing mat 4. Power supply electrodes 6g of the heat generating sheet 6 are formed on both ends of the heat generating sheet 6 in the longitudinal direction L, and power supply terminals 7 are connected to the respective power supply electrodes 6g. The cover sheet 5 is made of a cloth material such as curtain material or a thin, flexible plastic sheet, and both ends in the length direction L are engaged with hook-and-loop fasteners 8 attached to the end blocks 3, and both ends in the width direction M are inserted between the cushioning mat 4 and the fixing piece 2b of the panel member 2.

[0030] Fig. 13 shows an outer member 33 for attaching the multi-purpose member 1A to fabricate a shade 32. In the outer member 33, multiple pouch sections 34 are formed in layers in the vertical direction on a fabric material such as curtain fabric. Between the pouch sections 34 are connected sections 35 of the fabric material. The connected sections 35 are made of a flexible material such as silicone rubber, which allows the connected sections 35 to bend. One end of the pouch section 34 is opened, and the multi-purpose member 1A is inserted through the opening and the opening is closed. This forms a shade 32 in which the multi-purpose members 1A are arranged in the vertical direction.

[0031] 14 and 15 show the shade 32 in use. Two upright supports 38 are provided with a plurality of connection terminals 39 connected to an external power source in the vertical direction. The power supply terminals 7 of the multi-purpose member 1A are connected to the corresponding connection terminals 39. This causes the heating sheet 6 in the multi-purpose member 1A to generate heat, providing a heating function.

[0032] Pullable operating cords 36 are attached at predetermined intervals to the outer member 33. The multi-purpose member 1A is arranged vertically on the outer member 33 to provide the shade 32 with heating, soundproofing and light-blocking effects. Moreover, the shade 32 can be made simply by inserting the multi-purpose member 1A into the bag portion 35 of the outer member 33, making assembly easy. The outer member 33 can be folded by pulling the operating cord 36 to shorten it (Fig. 15), and the shade 32 can be unfolded by pulling out the operating cord 36 (Fig. 14), making it easy to open and close the shade 32.

[0033] In this embodiment, the shade can be made simply by inserting the multi-purpose members 1A into the upper and lower bags 34, making it easy to make. In the shade 32, multiple multi-purpose members 1A are lined up in the vertical direction, and the main body 2a of the panel member 2 of the lined up multi-purpose members 1A exerts soundproofing and light-blocking effects and can be used as a soundproofing and light-blocking member. Moreover, the heat-generating sheet 6 of the multi-purpose member 1A generates heat, so the surrounding area can be heated. In addition, since the outer member 33 is made of a cloth material such as curtain material, a soft feel can be created on the indoor side, improving the aesthetic feel.

[0034] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the case of the shade 32, a light-emitting body such as a fluorescent lamp or an LED is inserted into the bag portion 34 at the top or middle portion, and the light-emitting body is made to emit light by connecting to an external power source. This makes it possible to make a shade with a lighting function. Also, the bag portions 34 of the outer member 33 may be vertical, the multi-purpose member 1A may be inserted into each bag portion 34, and the entire outer member 33 may be hung on a curtain rail, so that the multi-purpose member 1A can be used as a curtain. Furthermore, the multi-purpose members 1, 1A can be hung across a pair of self-supporting legs and erected in a room, and used as a folding screen or a partition. [Explanation of symbols]
