Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for mounting a wall decorative body on the surface of a wall-like structure such as an exterior wall, an interior wall, a partition, or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] In buildings such as houses, various wall-like structures such as exterior walls are constructed from structural or design perspectives, and decorative elements are placed on the wall surfaces of these wall-like structures to improve their functionality and exterior design.

[0003] Regarding such wall structures, the inventor has proposed a wall structure and wall decorative body to be used therein that has a high decorative effect and is easy to repair. The specific wall structure comprises a support member that forms the wall surface by crossing reinforcement materials, and a plurality of wall decorative bodies arranged on the reinforcement materials and attached to the support member. The wall decorative body comprises a main body portion having a decorative surface that is exposed to the outside, and a pair of support portions that are arranged at both ends of the main body portion and abut against the support member, and is attached to the support member so that the support portions are adjacent to each other, and the main body portions of the wall decorative body are arranged in different arrangement directions so as to cover adjacent support portions.

[0004] In Patent Document 1, wall decorative elements are arranged so that their support parts are adjacent to each other and attached to a support member, and wall decorative elements are arranged so that they are adjacent to each other in a different arrangement direction and cover each other's support parts, so that the support parts that form the seams in the arrangement direction are not exposed to the outside and the appearance is like a continuous woven structure in different arrangement directions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6810942 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In the wall structure described in Patent Document 1, the wall decorative elements can be constructed from known materials used as wall materials, such as ceramic, resin, and metal materials. However, when wall decorative elements made from such known materials are attached to a support made of reinforcement along the arrangement direction, the wall decorative elements must be precisely arranged in a straight line to create the appearance of a continuous woven structure in different arrangement directions. However, when manufacturing wall decorative elements using roofing tiles, for example, high-precision mass production is difficult, and high-precision processing poses challenges, such as high costs.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for wall decorations that allows wall decorations to be easily mounted on a support in an aligned manner with high precision. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The mounting structure for wall decorative bodies according to the present invention is a mounting structure for wall decorative bodies in which a plurality of wall decorative bodies are mounted in an arrangement direction along the wire rods on a support formed in a mesh shape by crossing wire rods, wherein the wall decorative bodies have a main body portion on which a decorative surface exposed to the outside is formed, and a pair of abutment portions that extend from both ends of the main body portion and abut against the support body, and the wall decorative bodies arranged in the arrangement direction are attached to the support body so that the abutment portions are adjacent to each other, and another abutment portion is attached to the support body so as to cover the adjacent abutment portions. The main body of the wall decorative body is arranged in a pattern, and a pair of mounting members that can be detachably attached to the wire material are fixed to the abutting portions of the wall decorative body, and the mounting members are made of elastic plate material and are formed in a shape that covers the end face from the decorative surface side of the abutting portion and protrudes toward the opposite side of the decorative surface, and the part abutting the decorative surface side is formed with a fixing portion that is fixed to the wall decorative body, and the part protruding toward the opposite side of the decorative surface is formed with a fitting portion that fits into the intersection of the wire material. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] By having the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention fixes an attachment member made of an elastic plate material to the abutment portion of the wall decorative body so that it covers the end face from the decorative surface side of the abutment portion and protrudes toward the opposite side of the decorative surface.Therefore, when the wall decorative body is arranged so that the abutment portions are adjacent to each other, the fixed attachment members can be attached to the ends of each abutment portion in close contact with each other.

[0010] Therefore, even if there is variation in the size of the wall decorative body in the arrangement direction, the mounting member can abut due to elastic deformation, and the position of the abutting part can be adjusted relative to the intersection of the wires, allowing for accurate mounting.

[0011] Furthermore, the part of the mounting member that protrudes on the opposite side to the decorative surface is formed with a fitting portion that fits into the intersection of the wires, so that by fitting the fitting portion into the intersection of the wires, the wall decoration can be securely attached and can be easily and detachably attached.

[Figure 2] 2 is a partial schematic diagram of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from the rear side. FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the exterior of a wall decoration. [Figure 4] 3A to 3C are a front view, a side view, and a plan view of the mounting member. [Figure 5] 1A and 1B are plan and front views of a wall decorative body to which a mounting member is fixed. [Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a partially enlarged view showing a state in which the mounting member is fitted to an intersection of the wires. [Figure 7] 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a case where adjacent fitting portions are attached to an intersection of wires in a state where they are in close contact with each other. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a partial schematic diagram of a wall structure using an embodiment of the present invention, as seen from the front side, and Fig. 2 is a partial schematic diagram of the wall structure, as seen from the back side.

[0014] In this example, the wall structure 1 is constructed between a foundation 100 and a beam 200, and comprises a support 2 formed in a mesh shape by crossing wire rods 20 that make up the wall surface, and a plurality of wall decorative bodies 3 attached to the support 2 along the arrangement direction of the wire rods 20.

[0015] The support body 2 is constructed by using rod-shaped reinforcing bar material as the wires 20, and arranging the wires 20 in a mesh pattern at equal intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions. The wall decorative body 3 is formed in the shape of a narrow strip, and is attached to the wires 20 while being aligned in the vertical and horizontal directions along the wall surface.

[0016] The wall decorative elements 3 may be arranged in multiple directions that intersect along the wall surface, and the arrangement direction is not limited to the vertical or horizontal direction. Furthermore, the arrangement direction is not limited to perpendicular directions, and can be set at various intersecting angles to match the decorative design of the wall. Furthermore, the arrangement groups consisting of multiple wall decorative elements 3 in the arrangement direction are arranged at a predetermined interval, so that gaps are formed between the arrangement groups. Therefore, when installed on a partition or the like, the other side of the wall structure can be seen, creating an open decorative design.

[0017] The support body 2 can be formed by crossing wire rods 20 made of known reinforcing bar materials such as steel bars and stainless steel bars and arranging them in a plane. When constructing a wall structure on the exterior wall of a building, the support body 2 can be constructed in a plane along the exterior wall, and the constructed support body 2 can be attached and fixed to a structural member of the exterior wall.

[0018] The wall decoration 3 can be made of known materials used as wall materials, such as ceramic, resin, and metal materials, and can also be made by combining multiple types of materials. Also, decorations made of different types of materials or materials of different colors can be combined.

[0019] Figure 3 is an external perspective view of a wall decoration, with Figure 3(a) being a perspective view from the decorative surface side and Figure 3(b) being a perspective view from the opposite side of the decorative surface. The wall decoration 3 comprises a main body 30 on which a decorative surface that appears as a wall surface is formed, and a pair of abutment portions 31 that are disposed on both ends of the main body 30 and abut against the support 2. In this example, the main body 30 is formed in a band shape when viewed from the decorative surface side and in a curved shape when viewed in the width direction.

[0020] The wall decorative bodies 3 are set so that the distance between the contact surface of the abutting portion 31 that contacts the wire 20 and the center portion of the main body 30 is wider than the thickness of the abutting portion 31, and the abutting portions 31 of the wall decorative bodies 3 arranged in one arrangement direction can be accommodated between the main body 30 of the wall decorative bodies 3 arranged in the other arrangement direction and the support 2. Therefore, the wall decorative bodies 3 arranged in one arrangement direction are attached to the support 2 so that the abutting portions 31 are adjacent to each other, and the main body portions 30 of the wall decorative bodies 3 arranged in the other arrangement direction are arranged so as to cover the adjacent abutting portions 31.

[0021] In this way, the wall decorations 3 arranged in the vertical direction and the wall decorations 3 arranged in the horizontal direction are arranged so that the main body 30 and the abutment portion 31 alternately overlap at the intersections. Since the abutment portions 31, which form the joints between the arrangement directions, are covered by the main body 30, the wall decorations 3 appear to be arranged continuously in each arrangement direction, and have an appearance similar to that of a plain weave structure of fabric.

[0022] A pair of mounting holes 31a are formed in the abutment portion 31 of the wall decorative body 3 so as to penetrate through the thickness direction, and a groove portion 31b that fits with the wire 20 is formed between the mounting holes 31a that open on the opposite side from the decorative surface.

[0023] A pair of mounting members 4 are fixed to the abutment portions 31 so as to be detachably attached to the wire 20. Fig. 4 shows a front view (Fig. 4(a)), a side view (Fig. 4(b)) and a plan view (Fig. 4(c)) of the mounting members 4. Fig. 5 shows a plan view (Fig. 5(a)) and a front view (Fig. 5(b)) of the wall decorative body 3 to which the mounting members 4 are fixed.

[0024] The mounting member 4 is made of a thin, elastic metal plate, and is formed in a shape that covers the end face from the decorative surface side of the abutting portion 31 and protrudes toward the opposite side of the decorative surface. The part that abuts the decorative surface is formed with a fixing portion 40 that is fixed to the wall decoration 3, and the part that protrudes toward the opposite side of the decorative surface is formed with a fitting portion 41 that fits into the intersection of the wires 20.

[0025] Between the fixed portion 40 and the fitting portion 41, a corner portion 42 is formed by bending the plate material at a predetermined angle, and when the corner portion 42 is further bent and elastically deformed so that the fitting portion 41 approaches the fixed portion 40, a biasing force acts in the direction of returning the fitting portion 41 to its original position.

[0026] The fixing portion 40 has a pair of fixing holes 40a formed to match a pair of mounting holes 31a of the abutting portion 31, and fixing members such as screws are attached to the mounting holes 31a to fix the fixing portion 40 to the decorative surface side of the abutting portion 31.

[0027] The fitting portion 41 has a notch 41a that fits into the wire 20 aligned along the arrangement direction of the wall decorative body 3, and a bent portion 41b that fits into the wire 20 aligned along a different arrangement direction. The notch 41a is formed by cutting out a predetermined length from the end in a direction perpendicular to the corner 42, with a width approximately the same as the diameter of the wire 20. The bent portion 41b is bent along three bending lines parallel to the corner 42 to form a groove with a triangular cross section that can accommodate the wire 20.

[0028] The mounting member 4 is fixed with a fixing member 43 consisting of a bolt and nut by arranging the fixing portion 40 on the decorative surface side of the abutting portion 31 and aligning the fixing hole 40a with the mounting hole 31a. The mounting member 4 can be fixed by inserting a bolt into the aligned fixing hole 41a and screwing a nut onto the tip of the bolt protruding on the side opposite the decorative surface of the abutting portion 31.

[0029] 5, by fixing the mounting member 4, the fitting portion 41 protrudes to the side opposite the decorative surface so as to cover the end face of the abutting portion 31, but a gap is formed between the end face and the fitting portion 41. Therefore, when the fitting portion 41 is attached to the intersection of the wires 20, the fitting portion 41 is elastically deformed so as to come into close contact with the end face, and a biasing force acts on the fitting portion 41 in a direction away from the end face.

[0030] Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged view showing the state in which the mounting member is fitted to the intersecting portion of the wire rods. Fig. 6(a) shows the state in which the bent portion 41b is fitted to the wire rod on the lower side of the intersecting wire rods, and Fig. 6(b) shows the state in which the bent portion 41b is fitted to the wire rod on the upper side of the intersecting wire rods.

[0031] A pair of mounting members 4 fixed to both ends of the wall decorative body 3 fit their respective notches 41a into the wires 20a that run along the arrangement direction. In this case, the fitting portions 41 at both ends are elastically deformed so that they come into close contact with the end faces of the abutting portions 31, and the bent portions 41b are inserted into the insides of the wires 20b on both sides that run along the other arrangement direction (the sides where the abutting portions 31 are located), so that the bent portions 41b fit from the inside of the wires 20b. When fitting the bent portions 41b into the lower wire, the fitting can be achieved by elastically deforming the entire mounting member 4 so that it is pulled.

[0032] The mounting members 4 at both ends are elastically deformed, and a biasing force acts on the fitting portions 41 from the inside to the outside of the wire 20b, so that the fitting portions 41 are always pressed against the inside of the wire 20b.

[0033] In this way, the wall decoration 3 is held between the wires 20b on both sides via the mounting members 4. Therefore, even if a dimensional error occurs in the wall decoration 3, the dimensional error can be adjusted by the elastic deformation of the mounting members 4, and the wall decoration 3 can be securely attached to the support 2.

[0034] Furthermore, the fitting portions 41 of the mounting members 4 of adjacent wall decorative elements 3 are inserted in a tight contact state so as to sandwich the wire 20b. Because the notched portions 41a of adjacent fitting portions 41 fit into the common wire 20a, the fitting portions 41 fit into and are held in a stable state at the intersection of the wires 20a and 20b without misalignment. This allows the wall decorative elements 3 to be attached in a precise linear arrangement along the wire 20a or 20b, making it possible to construct a geometrically orderly wall structure.

[0035] The fitting parts of adjacent wall decorative bodies are fitted to the intersections of the wire rods and a fastening member is attached to the fitting parts in the overlapping state, so that the fitting parts are prevented from accidentally coming off the intersections of the wire rods.

[0036] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the case where adjacent fitting portions 41 are attached to the intersection of wires in a state where they are in close contact with each other. FIG. 7(a) is a partially enlarged view of the overlapping fitting portions 41, viewed from the direction along the arrangement of the wall decorative body 3. The wire 20a along the arrangement direction is fitted into the notch 41a of the fitting portion 41, and the bent portion 41b is fitted so as to clamp the wire 20b in the direction intersecting the wire 20a. In this example, a clip of the shape shown in FIG. 7(b) is used as the fastening member 5, and the fastening member 5 is attached so as to clamp the lower end of the bent portion 41b. The crimping portions 50 of the fastening member 5 are crimped and fastened to both sides of the overlapping bent portions 41b, thereby reliably maintaining the fitted state so that the bent portions 41b do not come off the wire 20b.

[0037] As explained above, in the present invention, the mounting members are attached so as to cover the end faces from the decorative surface side, so that adjacent abutment portions do not come into direct contact with each other, making it easy to adjust the position of the wall decoration. Furthermore, because the abutment portions of the wall decoration are covered by the main body of the wall decoration in a different arrangement direction, the mounting members fixed to the decorative surface side of the abutment portions are not exposed on the surface of the wall structure, and the same decorative effect as in the past can be achieved.
