Claim 8:
9. 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 contact surface that is provided on the bulging portion and that is configured to come into contact with the wall material;
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 side 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;
a central fixing portion that is spaced apart from the end-side fixing portion, wherein the central fixing portion has a shape different from a shape of the end-side fixing portion;
an inner-side bulging portion that forms a portion of the bulging portion surrounding the end-side fixing portion, 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 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 in the longitudinal direction, a width of the inner-side bulging portion is greater than a width of the end-side bulging portion,
in the inner-side bulging portion, a side portion on a side opposite to a side adjacent to the end-side fixing portion is inclined such that the width in the longitudinal direction of the inner-side bulging portion increases toward the locking portion,
a length from the substrate portion to the contact surface is longer than a length from the substrate portion to a peak portion of the inner-side bulging portion, and
the securing member includes a connection surface that connects a side portion on a locking portion side of the inner-side bulging portion and a side portion on the inner-side bulging portion side of the contact surface.
