Abstract

A decorative structure includes: a plurality of base materials extending in a first direction and provided in parallel with each other at predetermined intervals in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and a plurality of panel materials, each of the plurality of panel materials being attached to two base materials adjacent to each other in the second direction among the plurality of base materials. Each of the plurality of base materials includes a protrusion protruding in the second direction. Each of the plurality of panel materials includes a body including an outer edge portion having a square shape in a plan view, and four legs provided along four sides of the outer edge portion. The panel material is attached by inserting the protrusion of one of the two base materials through an insertion hole provided in one of the four legs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A decorative structure comprising:
 a plurality of base materials extending in a first direction and provided in parallel with each other at predetermined intervals in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and   a plurality of panel materials, each of the plurality of panel materials being attached to two base materials adjacent to each other in the second direction among the plurality of base materials,   wherein each of the plurality of base materials comprises a protrusion protruding in the second direction,   wherein each of the plurality of panel materials comprises a body including an outer edge portion having a square shape in a plan view, and four legs provided along four sides of the outer edge portion and extending from the outer edge portion in a direction intersecting the body,   wherein the four legs have the same shape as each other, and an insertion hole into which the protrusion can be inserted is provided in each of the four legs, and   wherein the panel material is attached by inserting the protrusion of one of the two base materials through the insertion hole provided in one of the four legs.   
     
     
         2 . The decorative structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of elongated support members that support the plurality of base materials,
 wherein each of the plurality of support members comprises a protruding piece that extends in a direction in which the support member extends and protrudes in a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction, and   wherein the plurality of base materials are positioned by the protruding piece.   
     
     
         3 . The decorative structure according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the plurality of base materials include a first base material located at one end of the plurality of base materials in the second direction,   wherein the plurality of support members include a first support member that supports the first base material,   wherein the first support member extends in the first direction and overlaps the first base material when viewed from the third direction, and   wherein a groove into which the protruding piece of the first support member fits is provided in the first base material.   
     
     
         4 . The decorative structure according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the plurality of base materials further include a second base material located at the other end of the plurality of base materials in the second direction,   wherein the plurality of support members further include a second support member that supports the second base material,   wherein the second support member extends in the first direction and overlaps the second base material when viewed from the third direction, and   wherein the second base material further comprises a projection that is contact with the protrusion of the second support member in the second direction.   
     
     
         5 . The decorative structure according to  claim 4 ,
 wherein the plurality of base materials further include a third base material located between the first base material and the second base material in the second direction,   wherein the plurality of support members further include a plurality of third support members that support the third base material,   wherein the plurality of third support members extend in the second direction and are provided in parallel with each other in the first direction, and   wherein missing portions into which the third base material fits are provided in the protruding pieces of the plurality of third support members.   
     
     
         6 . A panel material comprising:
 a body including an outer edge portion having a square shape in a plan view; and   four legs provided along four sides of the outer edge portion and extending from the outer edge portion in a direction intersecting the body,   wherein the four legs have the same shape as each other, and an insertion hole into which a protrusion of a base material can be inserted is provided in each of the four legs.   
     
     
         7 . A method for constructing a decorative structure, the method comprising:
 a step of attaching a plurality of base materials so that each of the plurality of base materials extends in a first direction and the plurality of base materials are arranged in parallel with each other at predetermined intervals in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and   a step of attaching a panel material to two base materials adjacent to each other in the second direction among the plurality of base materials,   wherein each of the plurality of base materials comprises a protrusion protruding in the second direction, and   wherein the panel material comprises a body including an outer edge portion having a square shape in a plan view, and four legs provided along four sides of the outer edge portion and extending from the outer edge portion in a direction intersecting the body,   wherein the four legs have the same shape as each other, and an insertion hole into which the protrusion can be inserted is provided in each of the four legs, and   wherein in the step of attaching the panel material, the panel material is attached by inserting the protrusion of one base material of the two base materials into the insertion hole provided in one of the four legs.
