Conventionally, in this type of wall structure, as shown in FIG. 6, a panel fixture 9 having a panel locking piece 7 is fixed to a support 4 erected between a floor surface l and a ceiling surface. A structure in which the panel locking piece 7 locks the locking hole 6 to support the wall panel 5 has been used.

[Invention or problem to be solved]

However, in the above conventional example, since the entire load of the wall panel 5 is applied to the panel locking pieces 7, the holding strength of the wall panel 5 is low, and the installation height of each panel locking piece 7 is limited. If not strictly controlled, the parting line formed by the lower edge 5a of the wall panel 5 will become discontinuous after the wall panel 5 is installed, resulting in an extremely unsightly appearance. The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wall structure using wall panels that have high panel retention strength and a good appearance.

[Means to solve the problem]

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. This is a wall structure using a wall panel in which a wall panel 5 is supported by a support 4 which is erected between the lower bracket 3 and the ceiling surface, and the lower bracket 3 has a connecting hole bored on the back side of the wall panel 5. A panel locking piece 7 that locks into the locking hole 6 to prevent the wall panel 5 from falling down; and a lower edge 5 of the wall panel 5.
This is achieved by providing a wall surface structure using a wall panel integrally formed with a panel support piece 8 that supports the wall panel 5 and supports the load of the wall panel 5.

[For production]

Based on the above structure, the wall panel 5 of the present invention is mounted with its lower edge 5a supported by the panel support piece 8 of the lower bracket 3 and prevented from falling down by the panel locking piece 7. As a result, the entire load of the wall panel 5 is supported by the panel support piece 8 of the lower bracket 3, and only the load for preventing the wall panel 5 from falling down is applied to the panel locking piece 7. The load is shared between the panels and the overall panel retention strength is improved. Furthermore, with the above configuration, the lower edge 5a of the wall panel 5
Adjacent wall panels 5 are held at the same level by simply holding them on the panel support 8, making it unnecessary to adjust the height when installing the wall panels 5.
