1. A securing member for attaching a wall material to a building frame of a building, comprising:
a substrate portion;
a bulging portion that bulges from the substrate portion in a direction from a rear surface to a front surface of the substrate portion and extends in a longitudinal direction;
a locking portion that extends in the longitudinal direction of the securing member and protrudes from the bulging portion in a direction from the rear surface to the front surface of the substrate portion;
an end-side fixing portion that is provided at a position biased toward one end from a center of the locking portion in the longitudinal direction, and in which both sides in the longitudinal direction, a locking portion side, and an upper side are surrounded by the bulging portion;
an inner-side bulging portion that forms a portion of the bulging portion surrounding the end-side fixing portion, includes an inner-side contact surface for coming into contact with the wall material, and is located on a side toward the center of the locking portion in the longitudinal direction with respect to the end-side fixing portion;
an upper bulging portion that forms a portion of the bulging portion surrounding the end-side fixing portion; and
an end-side bulging portion that forms a portion of the bulging portion surrounding the end-side fixing portion, includes an end-side contact surface for coming into contact with the wall material, and is located on a side opposite to the inner-side bulging portion in the longitudinal direction with respect to the end-side fixing portion,
wherein a width in the longitudinal direction of the inner-side contact surface is greater than a width in the longitudinal direction of the end-side contact surface,
wherein the end-side contact surface is located at one side of the end-side fixing portion, and the inner-side contact surface is located between the end-side fixing portion and a central fixing portion, wherein the end-side fixing portion has an area smaller than an area of the central fixing portion.
