Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a decorative panel comprising rigid decorative sheets replaceably installed on a structural support. Such decorative sheets can be readily installed or replaced to exhibit a variety of designs by the use of fixing means such as screws. Moreover, a variety of decorative accessories such as a picture frame can be further set on the decorative surfaces. Such readily replaceable decorative panels are very useful, for example, for display rooms, etc.
- Up until now, most tile panels have been produced by bonding tile pieces onto a substrate with wet mortar. Such wet installation of tiles demands professional skills and long working hours, sometimes the freshly bonded tiles slip down, and the mortar often needs a long aging time. Moreover, a very large scale operation is required to replace the tile pieces when the panel is remodelled.
- Installation of decorative sheets such as tiles ;: with strong organic adhesives also presents difficulties in partly stripping the sheets and cleaning the adhesive when the panel is remodelled.
- Some decorative sheets can be nailed onto a substrate. Such a nailing installation, however, necessitates the grouting of the nail heads. The grout and nails have to be removed when the decorative sheets are replaced. Considerable work is also required in these dry installation systems when the panel is remodelled.
- Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative panel comprising rigid decorative sheets which are replaceably installed on a structural support by the use of fixing means, such as screws.
- Another object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide the above mentioned decorative panel on which a variety of decorative accessories or articles are readily set by utilizing the heads of the fixing means.
- According to the invention there is provided a decorative panel comprising right-angled tetragonal rigid decorative sheets replaceably installed on a structural support by the use of fixing means having flanges at the heads thereof; said decorative sheets having cutouts at the corners thereof and depressions adjacent to the cutouts; each of the corners of four decorative sheets assembled together forming a cut-out hole and a depression around the hole; said structural support containing mating means for the fixing means; the cut-out holes of the assembled sheets being arranged on the mating means; the fixing means being fitted to the mating means through the cut-out holes; the flanges at the heads of the fixing means being recessed on the depressions around the cut-out holes.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention are described in detail below, by example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figs. 1 and 5 are perspective views illustrating the installation of decorative sheets;
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the decorative panel.
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a structural support.
- Fig. 4 shows a combination of a bolt, a nut and accessories.
- Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional partial view of the decorative panel hooked on a wall.
- Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional partial view illustrating a picture frame set on the present decorative panel.
- In Fig. 1 is shown a decorative panel 1 which comprises right-angled tetragonal rigid
decorative sheets 2 replaceably installed on astructural support 9 such as frame works, substrate boards or walls by the use of removable fixing means such asscrews 6; saiddecorative sheet 2 having cutouts 3 at the corners thereof anddepressions 4 adjacent to the cutouts each of corners of foursheets 2 closely assembled together forming a cut-outhole 5 and adepression 4 around the hole; saidstructural support 9 containing mating fixing means such as internal screw-thread means 15; the cut-outholes 5 of the assembled sheets being arranged on the mating fixing means 15; the fixing means 6 being fitted to the mating means 15 through the cut-outholes 5; theflanges 7 at the heads of the fixing means being sunk in thedepressions 4 around theholes 5; whereby thedecorative sheets 2 are replaceably fixed onto thestructural support 9. - The decorative sheets are normally assembled without substantial gaps. It is generally preferred in view of appearance that the heads of the fixing means recessed on the
depressions 4 are not higher than the level of the decorative surface. Incidentally, acovering frame 12 can be applied onto an edge or edges of the decorative panel 1. In this case, it is not always needed to secure such covered parts of the decorative sheets by the fixing means. Moreover, other decorative articles can be set on the decorative panel 1 by means of accessories or magnetic force. In the latter case, either one of some fixing means and decorative sheet (s) or the decoration article contains magnet pieces, and the other contains magnetizable pieces. - Incidentally, the decorative sheets are generally assembled and installed from the bottom row of the decorative sheets. The decorative sheets can be readily installed or partly replaced to provide a variety of the decorative panels by those unskilled in the art, when the decorative sheets, structural supports and other accessories are supplied. Also, the decorative panel itself can be readily set or replaced to remodel the decorative designs.
- The rigid decorative sheets to be used in the present decorative panel can be square or rectangular rigid sheets of plastics, plastic composites, glass, wood, ceramics, cement concrete, metal, mixtures thereof or the like. Heat-resistant sheets such as those of ceramics, concrete or metal can be glazed on the surfaces thereof. The dimensions of the decorative sheets are not especially restricted, but are normally in the range of about 10 cm to about 50 cm. The thickness of the sheet is such that sufficient strength is provided. The decorative sheet generally has
cutouts 3 anddepressions 4 at the four corners thereof. Thus, the cutouts and depression at the edges or corners of the panel 1 form semi- or quarter-circle configurations, where the fixing means can be inserted and recessed. As mentioned above, however, such cutouts and depressions are not always needed at the corners or edges which are supported by the coveringframe 12 of the decorative panel. The size of thecutout 3 of the sheet is such that the shank of fixing means such asscrews 6 can be passed through. The size of thedepression 4 is such that theflange 7 at the head of the fixing means can be recessed thereon. Incidentally, thecutouts 3 anddepressions 4 are normally designed to comprise quarter-round corners. - The
depression 4 at the corners of thedecorative sheet 2 can be in the form of a substantially flat plane lower than the decorative surface as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 or an inclined plane tapering towards thecutout 3. It has been unexpectedly found that an inclined depression tapering from the decorative surface to thecutout 3 is advantageous to ceramic tile and the like, because the mechanical strength of the tapered corner is ensured owing to gradual change in the degree of compaction and also glaze is uniformly applied onto such tapering depressions. - The rigid
decorative sheets 2 are replaceably installed on astructural support 9 such as a frame work or a wall containing mating fixing means by the use of removable fixing means such asscrews 6 to provide the present decorative panel 1. Thestructural support 9 is exemplified by a frame work composed essentially of horizontal orvertical bars 10 arranged at an interval of the decorative sheet and at least two vertical orhorizontal bars 11 supporting thebars 10. Thebars 10 have mating fixing means such as internal screw-thread holes 15 orholes 26 combined with nuts, at an interval of the decorative sheet to be installed thereon. Instead of the frame work, thebars 10 can be fixed onto a structural member such as walls or boards. - In a preferred embodiment, the
bar 10 can be ametal bar 10 having U-shaped cross section. The U-shaped bars are composed to form a frame work or fixed onto a structural member with the openings thereof downward or upward or sideways. The U-shaped bars can haveholes 26 at the both parallel sides thereof, as shown in FIG. 3. For example,nuts 13 havingring projections 14 at both ends thereof are set between pairs of theholes 26 of the U-shapedbar 10. Alternatively, thebars 10 can have internal screw-thread holes. Thedecorative sheets 2 can be readily screwed to thestructural support 9 by means ofbolts 6 andnuts 13 or screw-thread holes as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, to provide a decorative panel such as decorative walls or self-standing screen walls (e.g. a screen with or without casters or a folding screen as shown in FIG. 2). By the use of U-shapedbars 10 andnuts 13 held thereby as shown in FIG. 3, the decorative sheets can be readily installed as necessary on both sides of theframe work 9; such structure is useful for screen walls. - The preferred combination of the
bolt 6,nut 13 and other accessories is illustrated in FIG. 4. The fixing means such as abolt 6 can have an inner hole (e.g. an inner screw-thread hole 16) for holding accessories andscrewdriver grooves 17 at the head thereof. Theinner hole 16 can hold adecorative head cap 18 or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the head cap can be of relatively soft materials such as wood or rubber forpinning cards 19 or other displays thereon. Also, theinner holes 16 can be equipped with hooks orhangers 20, magnet pieces, rods for supportingshelf boards 21 or trays, or the like, by means of screws or adhesives, etc. Thewasher 8 is to protect the corners of decorative sheets, which is normally of relatively resilient materials such as rubber or plastics. Thenut 13 normally has polygonal outward surfaces, whereby rotation of the nut is prevented by the bottom of the U-shaped bar as shown in FIG. 3. The length of thepolygonal body 13 is as long as the distance between the parallel sides of the U-shapedbar 10, and the size of thering projection 14 is as large as the diameter of thehole 26 at the sides of thebar 10. Incidentally, the decorative panel having inverted U-shaped horizontal bars can also be readily anchored onto a structural member such as walls by hookingmeans 24. - FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the decorative panel, wherein the above mentioned rigid
decorative sheets 2 are installed on a substrate board 25 (used as the structural support) by the use of fixing means such asscrews 6 and mating means therefor such as internal screw-thread means 15. Thesubstrate board 25 can be a flat board or a flat wall, and the decorative sheets can be screwed thereto by the use of wood screws and as necessary plugs therefor. Theflat substrate board 25 can containholes 26 andnuts 22, and thedecorative sheets 2 can be screwed thereto bybolts 6 as illustrated in FIG. 5. The above mentioned nuts 22 can haveguide grooves 23 to mate withhooks 24 fixed to a structural member, whereby the decorative panel 1 can be anchored to a structural member such as walls as illustrated in FIG. 6. One of the features of this embodiment is that thedecorative sheets 2 are supported and protected by thesubstrate board 25. - The descriptions on other modifications such as structural supports, fixing means, mating means therefor, accessories and the like appearing in Embodiment I are quoted without repetition, because they can be readily applied to this embodiment by those skilled in the art.
- Incidentally, nuts similar to the nuts 13 appearing in FIG. 4 can be fixed to the
holes 26 of thesubstrate board 25. For example, the nut which is similar to thenut 13 but has a flange at one end thereof and preferably an outward opposite- handed screw thread can be set to thehole 26, whereby thedecorative sheets 2 can be installed on the both sides of theboard 25. -
Other decoration articles 27 can be advantageously set on the surface of the present decorative panel 1 by means of magnetic force, as shown in FIG. 2. - When the decoration article such as decorative or displaying members are small and light, it can be set by a single magnet piece and a magnetizable piece. For example, the
bolt 6 or cap 18 fixed to the bolt, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, can be a magnet piece and the decoration article can contain a magnetizable piece, and vice versa. - According to this embodiment, a picture frame containing magnetizable materials or magnet materials can be readily set and replaced without undecently exposed hanging means. When the picture frame is relatively light, it can be set on the decorative panel by means of plural magnet pieces. When the picture frame is relatively large and heavy, the
frame 27 should have a hookingmeans 29 inside the upper portion thereof, as illustrated in FIG. 7. More specifically, the hook 29 (e.g. in the shape of inverted L or sideway U) at the upper portion of theframe 27 is anchored by themagnet cap 18 fixed to the decorative panel 1 to support the weight of the frame, and themagnetizable metal portions 28 of the frame are horizontally attracted by themagnet cap 18, whereby thepicture frame 27 can be secured in both gravitational and horizontal directions. It is preferred that themagnetizable metal portion 28 with thehook 29 has somespace 30 orallowance 30 with respect to themagnet cap 18 for easily mounting theframe 27. - Incidentally, the
picture frame 27 can have optional configurations and may cover or containthin articles 31 such as drawings, photographs, posters and documents. Theframe 27 itself can also provide three-dimensional decoration effects without such decorative articles. In other words, the picture frame is used in a fashion either to cover thedecorative article 31 attached onto the decorative panel or to hold the decorative article therein.
