The second claw portion 4F is formed with an L-shaped cross section. The second claw portion 4F is formed with a protruding portion 4F1 so as to protrude from the back surface 4D. A flange portion 4F2 is formed from the tip of the protruding portion 4F1 in a direction perpendicular to the protruding portion 4F1. The tip of the flange portion 4F2 is formed so as to face in the opposite direction to the first claw portion 4E. The flange portion 4F2 is formed so as to abut against the back surface 7D of the second frame member 6.

[0013] The vertical plate 4 is formed with a screw hole 4G for fixing the flange 10. The vertical plate 4 is formed with a countersunk hole 4H for fixing the second claw portion 7F of the second frame member 6 at a position corresponding to the second claw portion 7F.

[0014] The end plate 5 has a flat surface 5C. The end plate 5 has a third claw 5E extending in the vertical direction on the back surface 5D. The third claw 5E is formed so as to protrude from the back surface 5D.

[0015] The second frame member 6 includes a vertical plate 7 formed in a strip shape and a strip-shaped end plate 8 formed in a direction perpendicular to one end 7A of the vertical plate 7. The front surface 7C of the vertical plate 7 is formed flat. A first claw portion 7E and a second claw portion 7F are formed on the back surface 7D side of the vertical plate 7. The first claw portion 7E is formed on the other end 7B of the vertical plate 7, extending in the up-down direction (z-axis direction). The first claw portion 7E is formed in an L-shaped cross section. The first claw portion 7E is formed by protruding from the back surface 4D and bending so that the tip 7E1 faces outward from the other end 7B. The first claw portion 7E is formed so that the tip 7E1 jumps up in the y-axis direction.

[0016] The second claw portion 7F is formed extending in the up-down direction (z-axis direction) at a position offset from the center of the vertical plate 7 toward the other end 7B. The second claw portion 7F is formed with an L-shaped cross section. The second claw portion 7F is formed with a protrusion 7F1 so as to protrude from the rear surface 7D. A flange portion 7F2 is formed from the tip of the protrusion 7F1 in a direction perpendicular to the protrusion 7F1.

[0018] The end panel 8 is formed flat on the front surface 8C side. The end panel 8 is formed with a third claw portion 8E extending in the vertical direction on the back surface 8D side. The third claw portion 8E is formed so as to protrude from the back surface 8D. With the above configuration, the first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6 are combined to form a hollow upright 2. The upright 2 is formed into a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. In the upright 2, the third claw portion 5E of the first frame member 3 is engaged with the first claw portion 7E of the second frame member 6. The third claw portion 8E of the second frame member 6 is engaged with the first claw portion 4E of the first frame member 3.

[0019] The first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6 are fixed together by screws S fastening the vertical plate 4 of the first frame member 3 and the second claw portion 7F of the second frame member 6. The second claw portion 4F of the first frame member 3 abuts against the rear surface 7D of the second frame member 6, and the second claw portion 7F of the second frame member 6 abuts against the rear surface 4D of the first frame member 3. Push-in edges 10 are fixed to the vertical plate 4 of the first frame member 3 and the vertical plate 7 of the second frame member 6. The second claw portions 4F, 7F increase the bending rigidity of the mullion 2 against the load of the glass plate G that is received by the push-in edge 10, and prevent the mullion 2 from buckling.

[0020] The batten 10 is a member for fixing the glass plate G. The batten 10 is attached to the vertical frame 50 facing the first frame member 3. The batten 10 is attached to the vertical frame 50 facing the second frame member 6. The batten 10 attached to the first frame member 3 and the batten 10 attached to the second frame member 6 are fixed so as to be linearly symmetrical with respect to the mullion 2. The batten 10 is formed to extend in the vertical direction on other members such as the first frame member 3, the second frame member 6, and the vertical frame 50.

[0021] The bezel 10 is a hollow member formed by extruding aluminum. The surface of the bezel 10 is pre-painted or anodized. In addition to being painted or anodized, the surface of the bezel 10 may be wrapped. The bezel 10 is formed into a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. The bezel 10 is formed to clamp and fix the end of the glass sheet G. The bezel 10 supports the end of the glass sheet G at a distance from the first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6 (mullions 2).

[0022] The flange 10 is formed with a concave groove 10A that accommodates the end of the glass plate G. The flange 10 comprises a main body 11 that is fixed to another member, and a lid 12 that can be attached and detached to the main body 11. The flange 10 is fixed to the mullion 2, for example, so that the lid 12 is disposed on the indoor side. The main body 11 is formed with an installation surface 11A that abuts against another member. The installation surface 11A is formed with screw holes 11B for screwing to another member. A plurality of screw holes 11B are formed in the vertical direction. The flange 10 is fixed to the other member via the screw holes 11B by screws S0 and S1.

[0023] A first arm 11C is formed in a direction perpendicular to the installation surface 11A. The first arm 11C is one of the members that clamps an end of the glass plate G. The main body 11 is formed with a first claw 11D and a second claw 11E for engaging the lid 12.

[0024] The lid 12 is fitted into the main body 11. The lid 12 is formed with a second arm 12A facing the first arm 11C. A fixing surface 12B is formed at the base of the second arm 12A in a direction substantially perpendicular to the second arm 12A. The fixing surface 12B is formed with a third claw 12C that engages with the first claw 11D of the main body 11 and a fourth claw 12D that engages with the second claw 11E of the main body 11. The glass plate G is temporarily fixed to the main body 11 with the lid 12 removed.

[0025] A backup material H for forming a joint bottom is fitted into the main body 11 so as to clamp the edge of the glass sheet G. A lid 12 is attached to the main body 11. A groove 10A is formed when the lid 12 is attached to the main body 11. A sealant C is filled into the gap generated between the groove 10A and the glass sheet G. The edge of the glass sheet G is clamped between the first arm 11C and the second arm 12A via the sealant C.

[0026] The batten 10 is fixed to the vertical frame 50 by a screw S1. The vertical frame 50 is fixed to a fixing member J provided in the wall W by a tap screw S2. The lid portion 12 is fitted into the main body portion 11 without using screws, so that construction is simplified, the construction period is shortened, and the design is improved.

[0027] Before the lid 12 is attached, the flange 10 is fixed to other components using screws S0 and S1 from inside the body 11. After the lid 12 is attached, the screws S0 and S1 are concealed inside the flange 10, improving the design. When the lid 12 is removed, the groove 10A is exposed, making it easy to attach the glass sheet G. When the lid 12 is removed, the glass sheet G can be attached from the inside of the room.

[0028] Next, we will explain the crossbeam 30. The crossbeam 30 is a member that is installed horizontally on the vertical frame 50 from both sides of the upright 2 (see FIG. 1). The ends of the crossbeam 30 are fixed to the upright 2 and the vertical frame 50 with screws (not shown) or the like.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 4, the mullion 30 is formed with three screw claws 35 each having a pair of projections projecting inward in a side view. The following description is of the side view. The screw claws 35 are formed so that the pair of projections grip a screw. The screw is screwed into the screw claws 35 of the mullion 30 from the back surface 4D side through a screw hole (not shown) formed in the first frame member 3, and from the back surface 4D side through a screw hole (not shown) formed in the second frame member 6, and the mullion 30 is fixed to the mullion 2. Similarly, the mullion 30 is fixed to the vertical frame 50 with a screw. The screw is concealed inside the mullion 30, the mullion 2, and the vertical frame 50, improving the design of the fitting 1.

[0030] The transom 30 is a hollow member formed by extruding aluminum. The surface of the transom 30 is painted or anodized in advance. In addition to being painted or anodized, the surface of the transom 30 may be wrapped. The transom 30 comprises a main body 31 and a lid 32. The side with the lid 32 faces the interior side. The transom 30 is formed as a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section when viewed from the side. A groove 31A is formed on the upper surface side of the main body 31 so as to hold the lower end of the glass sheet G. A groove 31B is formed on the lower surface side of the main body 31 so as to hold the upper end of the glass sheet G.

[0031] A partition plate 31C is formed inside the main body 31 to separate the groove portion 31A from the groove portion 31B. A support member K that supports the lower end of the glass plate G is fitted onto the upper surface of the partition plate 31C. A first claw portion 31D and a second claw portion 31E for engaging the lid portion 32 are formed in the main body 31. A third claw portion 32A that engages with the first claw portion 31D and a fourth claw portion 32B that engages with the second claw portion 31E are formed in the lid portion 32.

[0032] When the glass sheet G is attached to the groove portion 31A, it is temporarily fixed to the main body portion 31 with the lid portion 32 removed. The lower end of the glass sheet G is placed on the support member K. A backup material H for forming a joint bottom is fitted into the main body portion 31 so as to hold the end portion of the glass sheet G. The lid portion 32 is attached to the main body portion 31.

[0033] The lid 32 is fitted into the main body 31 without using screws, which simplifies construction, shortens the construction period, and improves the design. When the lid 32 is removed, the groove 31A is exposed, which facilitates the installation of the glass sheet G. When the lid 32 is removed, the glass sheet G can be installed from the inside of the room.

[0034] A glass sheet G is attached to the transom 30 with the lid 32 removed. A sealant C is filled into the gap between the groove 31A and the glass sheet G. The lower end of the glass sheet G is clamped and fixed by the groove 31A via the sealant C. The upper end of the glass sheet G is fixed to a horizontal frame 70 described below.

[0035] Another glass sheet G to be attached below the glass sheet G supported in groove 31A is temporarily fixed to the main body 31 with its upper end inserted into groove 31B. The glass sheet G is temporarily fixed with its upper end clamped by backup material H. A sealant C is filled into the gap between groove 31B and the glass sheet G. The upper end of the glass sheet G is clamped and fixed by groove 31B via the sealant C. The lower end of the glass sheet G is fixed to a horizontal frame 80 described below.

[0036] Next, the horizontal frame 70 will be described. The horizontal frame 70 is a hollow member fixed to the upper side of a rectangular opening of a building. The horizontal frame 70 is formed as a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. The horizontal frame 70 is formed, for example, with the same width as the width of the mullion 2. A groove portion 71 is formed on the underside of the horizontal frame 70. A screw hole 71B is formed in a partition plate 71A that separates the space in which the groove portion 71 is formed. The horizontal frame 70 is fixed to a fixing member J provided in the wall W by a tap screw S2 via the screw hole 71B.

[0037] A backup material H is fitted into the groove 71. The upper end of the glass sheet G is inserted into the groove 71 and temporarily fixed in a state in which it is sandwiched between the backup material H. A sealant C is filled into the gap generated between the groove 71 and the glass sheet G. The upper end of the glass sheet G is sandwiched and fixed by the groove 71 via the sealant C.

[0038] Next, the horizontal frame 80 will be described. The horizontal frame 80 is a hollow member fixed to the lower side of a rectangular opening of a building. The horizontal frame 80 is formed as a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. The horizontal frame 80 is formed, for example, with the same width as the width of the mullion 2. The horizontal frame 80 has a groove portion 81 formed on the upper surface side. A partition plate 81A that separates the space in which the groove portion 81 is formed has a screw hole 81B formed therein. The horizontal frame 80 is fixed to a fixing member J provided in a wall W or floor surface by a tap screw S2 through the screw hole 81B. The horizontal frame 80 includes a main body portion 82 and a lid portion 83. The side with the lid portion 83 is the room side.

[0039] A support member K that supports the lower end of the glass plate G is fitted onto the upper surface of the partition plate 31C. A first claw portion 82A and a second claw portion 82B for engaging the lid portion 83 are formed on the main body portion 82. A third claw portion 83A that engages with the first claw portion 82A and a fourth claw portion 83B that engages with the second claw portion 82B are formed on the lid portion 83. When attaching the glass plate G to the groove portion 81, the glass plate G is temporarily fixed to the main body portion 82 with the lid portion 83 removed. The lower end of the glass plate G is placed on the support member K.

[0040] A backup material H for forming a joint bottom is fitted into the main body 82 so as to clamp the end of the glass sheet G. A lid 83 is attached to the main body 82. A sealant C is filled into the gap between the groove 81 and the glass sheet G. The lower end of the glass sheet G is clamped and fixed by the groove 81 via the sealant C. The lid 83 is fitted into the main body 82 without using screws, so that construction is simplified, the construction period is shortened, and the design is improved. When the lid 83 is removed, the groove 81 is exposed, so that the glass sheet G can be easily attached. When the lid 83 is removed, the glass sheet G can be attached from the inside of the room.

[0041] Next, a method for installing the fitting 1 will be described.

[0042] 5, with the lids 12, 32, 83 removed, the first frame body is formed by assembling the components including the first frame member 3 with the grooves 10A, 31A, 81 exposed, the batten 10, the interlocking 30, the pair of vertical frames 50, and the horizontal frames 70, 80 (step S10). With the lids 12, 32, 83 removed, the second frame body is formed by assembling the components including the second frame member 6 with the grooves 10A, 31A, 81 exposed, the batten 10, the interlocking 30, the pair of vertical frames 50, and the horizontal frames 70, 80 (step S12).

[0043] The first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6 are fixed together to form the uprights 2, and the lattice-shaped frame body with the uprights 2 formed thereon is fixed in an installation position on the building (step S14). The upper ends of the glass sheets G are inserted into the grooves 71 and 31B while being temporarily fixed in the exposed grooves 10A, 31A and 81, and are fitted into and temporarily fixed in the respective lattices formed in the frame body (step S16).

[0044] The lids 12, 32, and 83 are attached to the bezel 10, the transverse frame 30, and the horizontal frame 80, respectively, and the grooves 10A, 31A, and 81 are formed (step S18). The gaps generated between the grooves 10A, 31A, 31B, 71, and 81 and the glass sheet G are filled with the sealant C to fix the glass sheet G (step S20).

[0045] As described above, with the fitting 1, the mullions 2 and the battens 10 are constructed as separate bodies, and the ends of the glass sheet G are supported away from the mullions, forming a thin mullions 2 when viewed from the front, improving the design. With the fitting 1, by providing lids 12, 32, 83 on the battens 10, the transom 30, and the horizontal frame 80, fixing screws and the like can be concealed inside the components without being exposed to the outside, improving the design. With the fitting 1, painted components that have been preassembled to a certain extent in advance are assembled with screws and the like at the construction site to form the frame, simplifying construction and significantly shortening the construction period.

[0046] [Second embodiment] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the fitting 1A according to the second embodiment comprises a mullion 2, a pair of ridges 100, and a transom 300. Compared to the ridges 10 formed as a single unit in the first embodiment, the fitting 1A comprises a pair of ridges 100 formed separately so as to sandwich a glass sheet G. The fitting 1A uses a mullion 2 and a pair of ridges 100 instead of vertical frames 50 for the frame materials on both the left and right sides.

[0047] Hereinafter, the same names and symbols are used for the same configurations as in the first embodiment, and duplicated explanations are omitted as appropriate. The state when viewed from above is described below. The pressing edge 100 is formed in a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. The pressing edge 100 has a female screw 102 formed on the mounting surface side of the first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6. The pressing edge 100 is fixed by a screw S3 from the back surface 4D side of the first frame member 3 and the back surface 7D side of the second frame member 6. A pair of pressing edges 100 are arranged opposite each other with a space between them to form a groove portion 100A.

[0048] As shown in Fig. 8, the transom 300 comprises a main body 301 and a pair of ridges 310 on the upper side of the main body 301. The side view will be described below. The main body 301 is formed as a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. On the upper and lower surfaces of the main body 301, first claws 302 and second claws 303 are formed which protrude outward from the upper and lower surfaces and are bent in a direction approaching each other. The main body 301 is formed, for example, so that its width in the up-down direction is the same as the width of the mullion 2 when viewed from the front.

[0049] The pressing edge 310 is formed in the shape of a rail with a U-section with a part of the rectangular section being open. At the end of the pressing edge 310, a third claw portion 311 that engages with the first claw portion 302 and a fourth claw portion 312 that engages with the second claw portion 303 are formed. The pressing edge 310 is formed so as to be detachably fitted into the main body portion 301. The pressing edge 310 is formed to have the same width as the pressing edge 100. A pair of pressing edges 310 are fitted into the main body portion 301 so as to face each other and spaced apart, forming a groove portion 315. For example, when the pressing edge 310 on the indoor side of the pair of pressing edges 310 is removed, the groove portion 315 is exposed, and when the pressing edge 310 is attached, the groove portion 315 is formed. Therefore, the glass plate G is attached when the pressing edge 310 on the outdoor side is attached and when the pressing edge 310 on the indoor side is removed.

[0050] A horizontal frame 320 is attached to the upper part of the fitting 1A. The horizontal frame 320 comprises a main body 321 and a pair of ridges 310. The main body 321 is formed in the same shape as the upper surface side of the main body 301 of the transom 300. The main body 321 is fixed to an installation target such as a ceiling R via a fixing member J using a tap screw S2 or the like. The pair of ridges 310 are fitted into the main body 321 so as to face each other and be spaced apart, and a groove 316 is formed.

[0051] A horizontal frame 320, which is the upside-down version of the horizontal frame 320 attached to the upper part, is attached to the lower part of the fitting 1A. The main body 321 is fixed to an installation target such as a floor surface E using tap screws S2 or the like. The tap screws S2 are concealed by a pair of battens 310.

[0052] The fitting 1A not only forms a thin mullion 2 when viewed from the front, but also enables the transom 300 and horizontal frame 320 to be formed thin, improving the design. The fitting 1A uses a pair of detachable ridges 310, which allows fixing screws and the like to be concealed inside the member without being exposed to the outside, improving the design.

[0053] [Third embodiment] As shown in Fig. 9, the fitting 1B is attached by replacing a portion of the glass plate G attached to the fitting 1A with plate B. The fitting 1B comprises a mullion 2, a ledge 350, and a fixing member 360. The fixing member 360 is formed with an L-shaped cross section. The fixing member 360 has a bottom 362 in which a screw hole 361 is formed, and a receiving part 363 bent in a direction perpendicular to the bottom.

[0054] A female screw M is formed at the installation position of the mullion 2 at a position corresponding to the screw hole 361.
