Abstract

A decorative sheet includes a base material and a plurality of concave portions. The plurality of concave portions are provided on a front face of the base material. In the concave portion, a depth direction coincides with a thickness direction of the base material. The plurality of concave portions includes a first concave portion and a second concave portion. The first concave portion includes a first concavo-convex pattern on a first inner surface of the first concave portion. The second concave portion does not include the first concavo-convex pattern on a second inner surface of the second concave portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A decorative sheet comprising:
a base material having an upper surface, and
a plurality of concave portions provided on a front face of the base material, and whose depth direction coincides with a thickness direction of the base material,
wherein the plurality of concave portions include a first concave portion and a second concave portion, each of the first concave portion and the second concave portion being recessed relative to the upper surface and being separated by the upper surface,
wherein the first concave portion includes a first concavo-convex pattern on an entirety of a first bottom surface of the first concave portion, and
wherein the second concave portion includes a second concavo-convex pattern different from the first concavo-convex pattern on a second bottom surface of the second concave portion and the second concave portion does not include the first concavo-convex pattern on the second bottom surface.

2. The decorative sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first concave portion includes the first concavo-convex pattern on a first wall surface adjacent to the first bottom surface,
wherein the second concave portion includes the second concavo-convex pattern on a second wall surface adjacent to the second bottom surface,
wherein the first wall surface is a portion of the first concave portion on a specific side of a direction which is orthogonal to the depth direction,
wherein the second wall surface is a portion of the second concave portion on a specific side of a direction which is orthogonal to the depth direction.

3. The decorative sheet according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second concave portion, a second wall surface is a smooth surface.

4. The decorative sheet according to claim 3 ,
wherein the first concave portion includes the first concavo-convex pattern on a first wall surface adjacent to the first bottom surface,
wherein the second concave portion includes the second concavo-convex pattern on a third wall surface adjacent to the second bottom surface,
wherein the first wall surface is a portion of the first concave portion on a specific side of a direction which is orthogonal to the depth direction,
wherein the third wall surface is a portion of the second concave portion on a specific side of a direction which is orthogonal to the depth direction.

5. A decorative sheet comprising:
a base material having an upper surface, and
a plurality of concave portions provided on a front face of the base material, and whose depth direction coincides with a thickness direction of the base material,
wherein the plurality of concave portions include a first concave portion and a second concave portion, each of the first concave portion and the second concave portion being recessed relative to the upper surface and being separated by the upper surface,
wherein the first concave portion includes a first concavo-convex pattern on a first bottom surface of the first concave portion, the first concavo-convex pattern repeating in a longitudinal direction and the first concavo-convex pattern repeating in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the longitudinal and transverse directions being perpendicular to the depth direction, and
wherein a second bottom surface of the second concave portion does not include any pattern disposed on the first bottom surface.

6. A decorative sheet comprising:
a base material having an upper surface, and
a plurality of concave portions provided on a front face of the base material, and whose depth direction coincides with a thickness direction of the base material,
wherein the plurality of concave portions include a first concave portion and a second concave portion, each of the first concave portion and the second concave portion being recessed relative to the upper surface and being separated by the upper surface,
wherein the first concave portion includes a first concavo-convex pattern on an entirety of a first bottom surface of the first concave portion,
wherein the second concave portion includes a second concavo-convex pattern on a second bottom surface of the second concave portion and does not include the first concavo-convex pattern on the second bottom surface of the second concave portion, and
wherein a first height difference between high and low points on the first concavo-convex pattern is larger than a second height difference between high and low points on the second concavo-convex pattern.
