Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a joint material interposed between panels in a unit room such as a unit bathroom or a unit toilet room, and more particularly, to a joint material extending along the side of the panel. It relates to a long joint material such as a band.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a unit room constructed by mounting wall panels, a long joint material is usually interposed between panels such as a wall panel and a ceiling panel. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of a unit bathroom in which the joint material is interposed between wall panels.
5A and 5B are cross-sectional views taken along lines AA and BB in FIG. 3, and FIGS. 5A and 5B are perspective views of joint materials.

As shown in the figure, joint members 1 and 2 are interposed between wall panels 3 of a unit bathroom. In the corner portion (corner portion), the joint material 1 shown in FIG.
5 is used for the flat portion where the panel surface is flush.
The joint material 2 shown in (b) is used. In addition, 4 of FIG. 3 is a bathtub, 5 is a faucet, 6 is a floor pan (waterproof pan).
Reference numeral 7 in FIG. 4 denotes a steel plate, and 8 denotes a backing material (for example, gypsum board).

[0004] The joint material 1 is arranged so as to face the room,
A fin portion 1a for covering a front edge of the wall panels 3 and 3;
It has a tie portion 1b connected to the fin portion 1a, and a stopper portion 1c projecting from the tie portion 1b and abutting on the side surface of the wall panel 3.

[0005] The joint material 2 has a wide end portion 2a disposed so as to face the room, and a tie portion 2b following the end portion 2a.
And a stopper 2c projecting from the tie 2b. The stopper 2c is engaged with the rear edge of the wall panel 3.

The joint materials 1 and 2 are made of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride, and various colored materials are used for the wall panel 3.
It is used in accordance with the color of the front.

[0007]

As described above, since joint materials of a color matching the color of the front surface of the wall panel are conventionally used, joint materials of various colors need to be kept in stock. However, there is a problem in that inventory management is troublesome and causes high costs.

An object of the present invention is to provide a joint material which can be adopted regardless of the color of a wall panel and which does not impair the appearance of the finished wall.

[0009]

The joint material of the present invention is characterized in that at least a portion of the joint material interposed between the panels exposed to the front side of the panel is transparent or translucent.

In such a joint material, when used in a unit room or the like by being interposed between panels, it does not give an accent to the color tone of a wall or a ceiling, and is applied to any panel. Also does not detract from the unique aesthetics of the panel. The joint material may be transparent or translucent as a whole, or may be transparent or translucent only at the portion exposed to the front side (inside of the room), and may be white or beige at the subsequent portion. The white or beige color has no or little inherent chromatic color, and has no or little unnaturalness in the color tone unique to the panel.

[0011]

1 (a) and 1 (b) are end views of joint members 10, 20 according to an embodiment. Each of the joint members 10 and 20 is disposed at a corner, and has fin portions 11 and 21, tie portions 12 and 22, and stopper portions 13 and 23 similarly to the joint member 1. Yes, the shape itself is the same as the conventional joint material.

In the joint material 10, the fin portion 11 is colorless and transparent or translucent, and the tie portion 12 and the stopper portion 13 are white or beige. The joint material 20 is colorless and transparent or translucent as a whole.

FIGS. 2A and 2B are end views of joint members 30, 40 according to the embodiment. These joint materials 30,
Numerals 40 are arranged on the flat portions, and similarly to the joint material 2, wide end portions 31 and 41 and tie portions 32 and 4 are provided.
2 and stopper portions 33 and 43. Joint material 3
0 indicates that the end portion 31 is colorless and transparent or translucent;
And the stopper 33 is white or beige. The joint material 40 is colorless and transparent or translucent as a whole.

In the present invention, the term "transparent or translucent" refers to a degree of light transmission such that the back side of the joint can be seen through the naked eye when the joint is seen through.

Such joint materials 10, 20, 30, 40
When the panel is interposed between the panels, the inherent chromatic color is not seen, the inherent color tone of the panel is not impaired, and the original beauty of the panel is brought out. Therefore, one kind of joint material can be applied to panels of various colors.

In FIG. 1A and FIG. 2A, the tie 1
2, 32 are white or beige, but tie part 1
2, 33 may be transparent or translucent.
The interior of the room 32 may be transparent or translucent, and the side of the stopper may be white or beige.

In FIG. 3, the joint material is interposed between the wall panels. However, the present invention can be applied to various joint materials such as joint materials interposed between the wall panel and the ceiling panel or the ceiling panel. Further, the joint material of the present invention may have a shape other than that illustrated.

[0018]

As described above, the joint material of the present invention does not impair the color tone and aesthetics of each panel even when interposed between panels of various colors. For this reason, it is sufficient to hold a small number of types of jointing materials as stocked products, so that the time and effort of inventory management and the like can be saved, and cost reduction can be realized.
