[0008] The following describes an embodiment of the fixture, using an example of a three-panel sliding door installed in an opening of a bathroom, with reference to the drawings. In the following description, one side of the fixture is the "bathroom side" and the other side is the "dressing room side" in the expected direction.

[0009] One embodiment of the fixture is a three-panel sliding door, as shown in Figure 1, in which upper frames 21, 31, 41, lower frames 22, 32, 42, and left and right vertical frames 23, 24, 33, 34, 43, 44 are assembled into a frame around the inner periphery of a frame body 1 formed by an upper frame 11, a lower frame 12, and left and right vertical frames 13, 14 assembled all around the frame body 1. Three shoji screens 2, 3, 4 are arranged so that they can slide freely around the inner periphery of the frame body, and are formed by holding panel bodies on the inner periphery.

[0010] The upper frame 11 that constitutes the frame body 1 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, and as shown in Figure 2, has an upper frame main body portion 11a which has a hollow portion and forms the inner surface of the upper frame 11, a frame portion 11b that continues from the changing room side of the upper frame main body portion 11a, an upper first rail 11c, an upper second rail 11d, and an upper third rail 11e that are formed on the inner surface of the upper frame main body portion 11a from the changing room side, a visible wall 11f that extends downward from the bathroom side inner surface of the upper frame main body portion 11a, and an attachment piece 11g that extends in the outer circumferential direction from the outer periphery of the upper frame main body portion 11a.

[0011] The upper frame 11 is provided with wind stop members 71, 72 between the first upper rail 11c and the second upper rail 11d, and between the second upper rail 11d and the third upper rail 11e, respectively.

[0012] The lower frame 12 that constitutes the frame body 1 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, and as shown in Figures 2, 4(b), and 5(b), has a lower frame main body portion 12a that has a hollow portion and is positioned between the left and right vertical frames 13, 14 when framed on all four sides, a frame portion 12b that is continuous with the changing room side of the lower frame main body portion 12a, a slope receiving portion 12c that extends toward the bathroom side of the lower frame main body portion 12a and protrudes toward the bathroom side from between the left and right vertical frames 13, 14, and an attachment piece 12g that extends in the outer periphery direction from the outer periphery of the lower frame main body portion 12a.

[0013] The upper surface of the lower frame body 12a of the lower frame 12 is formed to be almost flat, and as shown in Fig. 4(b), a locking member 123 to which a slope member 5 (described later) is locked is attached to the upper surface on the dressing room side. Note that the lower frame 12 may have a sloped portion on the upper surface of the lower frame body 12a so that the bathroom side is lower, taking into consideration drainage performance, etc.

[0014] The slope receiving portion 12c of the lower frame 12 has an upper wall extending from the bathroom side of the lower frame main body portion 12a and a visible wall 12d extending downward from the bathroom side end of the upper wall, and the upper surface of the upper wall is formed as a flat surface at a height approximately the same as or slightly lower than the upper surface of the lower frame main body portion 12a. As shown in Figure 5 (b), the slope receiving portion 12c has end covers 122 attached to the left and right end surfaces, and the bathroom side and the left and right outer peripheral surfaces of the slope receiving portion 12c are formed with end walls 12d and end covers 122 to form end surfaces having a thickness in the vertical direction.

[0015] In the fitting of this embodiment, a slope member 5 is disposed on the upper surface of a lower frame 12, as shown in Figs. The slope member 5 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, and as shown in Figures 4(a) and 5(a), has a rail portion 51 placed on the upper surface of the lower frame main body portion 12a of the lower frame 12, and a slope portion 52 that is placed on the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c of the lower frame 12, contiguous with the bathroom side of the rail portion 51, and has an inclined surface that slopes from the lower frame in the entry / exit direction, and a slope support part 53 is attached to the underside of the slope portion 52. The slope member 5 may be made of a material such as synthetic resin.

[0016] The rail portion 51 of the slope member 5 has, from the changing room side, a lower first rail 51a, a lower second rail 51b, and a lower third rail 51c on its upper surface, and has a plurality of legs 51d and an engagement portion 51e on its lower surface that engages with the interlocking member 123 of the lower frame 12, with the plurality of legs 51d placed on the upper surface of the lower frame main body portion 12a of the lower frame 12, and the slope support part 53 placed on the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c and attached.

[0017] As shown in Figures 3 and 5(a), the slope member of the fixture of this embodiment is formed by two slope members 5, 5 arranged side by side and connected by a central connecting part 5a, and end caps 5b, 5b are attached to the left and right ends. Incidentally, the slope member may be a long member integrally formed in accordance with the length dimension of the lower frame 12, or may be formed by connecting three or more slope members 5 together.

[0018] The three shoji screens 2, 3, 4 are respectively guided by a lower first rail 51a, a lower second rail 51b, and a lower third rail 51c of the slope member 5, and are supported so that the frame body 1 can be freely opened and closed.

[0019] The slope support part 53 is made of a resin material such as synthetic resin, and as shown in Figures 4(a), 6(a), and (b), has a fixed part 53a fixed to the underside of the slope part 52 of the slope member 5, an inclined part 53b protruding from the bathroom side end of the slope member 5, and an elastic deformation part 53c connecting the fixed part 53a and the inclined part 53b.

[0020] The fixed portion 53a of the slope support component 53 has engagement portions 53d, 53e on the upper surface of a base portion 53g having a thickness such that it is not easily deformed, and has a buffer portion 53f on the lower surface. The slope support part 53 is fixed to the underside of the slope member 5 by engaging the engaging portions 53d, 53e with the engaged portions 52a, 52a formed on the underside of the slope member 5, and supports the slope member 5 on the lower frame 12 with a cushioning effect.

[0021] The inclined portion 53b of the slope support component 53 protrudes from the tip of the slope member 5 on the bathroom side, and has a wedge shape whose height decreases as it moves from the tip of the slope member 5 towards the bathroom side.

[0022] The inclined portion 53b of the slope support part 53 is formed so that the height dimension on the changing room side is approximately the same as the height dimension of the bathroom side end of the slope member 5, and the upper surface of the inclined portion 53b of the slope support part 53 fixed to the underside of the slope member 5 is flush and continuous with the upper surface of the slope part 52.

[0023] The elastic deformation portion 53c of the slope support part 53 has elasticity by having a thickness dimension smaller than the thickness dimension of the base portion 53g of the fixed portion 53a, and connects the bathroom side end of the base portion 53g of the fixed portion 53a to the inclined portion 53b, and supports the inclined portion 53b so that its vertical position can be displaced relative to the fixed portion 53a.

[0024] The left vertical frame 13 that constitutes the frame body 1 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, and as shown in Figures 3 and 5(b), has a left vertical frame main body 13a that has a hollow portion and forms the inner surface of the door opening, a frame portion 13b that continues from the dressing room side of the left vertical frame main body 13a, a door end receiving portion 13c that is formed on the inner surface of the left vertical frame main body 13a on the bathroom side, and an attachment piece 13g that is provided on the outer periphery of the left vertical frame main body 13a. The left vertical frame 13 is provided with an engagement portion 13e that engages with the left vertical frame (vertical frame on the door front side) 43 of the outer screen 4 at the door front receiving portion 13c, and an airtight material s13 that abuts against the left vertical frame 43.

[0025] The right vertical frame 14 that constitutes the frame body 1, like the left vertical frame 13, has a right vertical frame main body 14a which has a hollow portion and forms the inner surface of the door opening, a frame portion 14b that continues from the dressing room side of the right vertical frame main body 14a, a door end receiving portion 14c formed on the inner surface of the right vertical frame main body 14a on the dressing room side, and an attachment piece 14g provided on the outer periphery of the right vertical frame main body 14a. The right vertical frame 14 is provided with an engagement portion 14e that engages with the right vertical frame (vertical frame on the door front side) 24 of the inner shoji 2 at the door front receiving portion 14c, and airtight materials s141 and s142 that abut against the right vertical frame 24.

[0026] The frame body 1 of the fixture in this embodiment is placed in the opening between the bathroom and the dressing room, and as described above, the slope receiving portion 12c is extended on the bathroom side of the lower frame 12 and the slope member 5 is placed on the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c, so that the slope member 5 can be positioned stably. Below, the construction method and other aspects of the lower frame 12 having the slope receiving portion 12c will be further explained.

[0027] As shown in Figure 7(a), the structure to which the lower frame 12 is attached has a base B made of wood or the like placed on the upper surface of a raised portion A of the foundation, a frame member C fixed to the upper surface of the base B, and a floor surface (foundation) D made of moisture-proof concrete or the like formed between the raised portions A of the foundation.

[0028] The lower frame 12 of the fitting placed between the bathroom and the dressing room is placed on the upper surface of the base B with the portion of the lower frame main body 12a facing the dressing room closer than the mounting piece 12g, and the frame portion 12b is fixed to the upper surface of the frame member D, while the mounting piece 12g is fixed to the bathroom side of the base B. The lower frame 12 fixed to the base B has end covers 122 attached to both the left and right end surfaces of the slope receiving portion 12c.

[0029] As shown in Figure 7(b), the bottom frame 12 fixed to the base B has an anchor member E attached to the underside of the slope receiving portion 12c, and mortar M is filled on the floor surface (foundation) D on the bathroom side of the partial raised portion A of the foundation so as to bury the anchor member E attached to the bottom frame 12.

[0030] The mortar M on the floor surface (foundation) D is filled up to a position above the lower end of the slope receiving portion 12c of the bottom frame 12, and the visible wall 12d and the end cap 122 are exposed on the bathroom side and on the left and right outer periphery of the slope receiving portion 12c, forming a visible surface that has a thickness in the vertical direction.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 8(a), finishing materials 6 such as tiles are placed around the periphery of the lower frame 12 on the upper surface of the filled mortar M to perform finishing. The height dimension of the exposed portion of the visible surface formed on the bathroom side and on the left and right sides of the slope receiving portion 12c is approximately the same as the installation height dimension of the finishing material 6 such as tiles, and the top surface of the finishing material 6 and the top surface of the slope receiving portion 12c are at the same height.

[0032] After a finishing material 6 such as tiles has been applied, a sealant S is filled between the exposed visible surface of the slope receiving portion 12c and the finishing material 6, as shown in FIG. 8(b) and FIG. The sealing material S is filled around the bathroom side and the left and right sides of the slope receiving portion 12c, and the top surface of the slope receiving portion 12c is flush with the top surface of the surrounding finishing material 6 via the sealing material.

[0033] A locking member 123 (see Figure 4 (b)) is attached to the upper surface of the lower frame 12, which is fixed to the inner surface of the opening, and a slope member 5 equipped with a lower rail is attached to the upper surface of the lower frame 12, completing the construction of the lower frame 12. The above describes the construction procedure for the lower frame 12.

[0034] As described above, the building fixture of this embodiment can stably attach the slope member 5 by fixing the slope receiving portion 12c of the bottom frame 12 to mortar M filled on the floor surface (foundation) D and supporting the slope member 5 on the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c.

[0035] In addition, in the fixture of this embodiment, a slope support part 53 is fixed to the underside of the bathroom side end of the slope member 5, and an inclined portion 53b is provided on the bathroom side of the slope support part 53, so that wheelchairs and the like can pass over the slope part 5 more smoothly.

[0036] Furthermore, in the fixture of this embodiment, the inclined portion 53b of the slope support part 53 is connected to the fixed part 53a that fixes the slope support part 53 to the slope member 5 by the elastic deformation part 53c, so that the height position of the inclined portion 53b can be adjusted by deformation of the elastic deformation part 53c. Therefore, even if, for example, a sealing portion is present on the bathroom side of the slope member 5 and the bathroom side of the slope member 5 is lower, the finishing material 6 or the sealing part S can be smoothly connected to the upper surface of the slope member 5.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the bottom frame 12 of the fitting has end covers 122 attached to the ends of the left and right ends of the slope receiving portion 12c, and a visible surface is formed on the outer periphery of the slope receiving portion 12c having a thickness in the vertical direction that is greater than or equal to the construction dimensions of the finishing material 6, so that the finished surface of the finishing material 6 and the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c can be constructed at the same height.

[0038] In addition, the building fixture of this embodiment can form a seal pocket of sufficient depth between the finishing material 6 and the slope receiving portion 12c, and can be filled sufficiently with sealant to provide high watertightness performance.

[0039] In the fixture of this embodiment, the slope receiving portion 12c forms a visible surface having thickness both above and below by the projection wall 12d and the lid 122; however, the configuration for forming the visible surface is not limited, and may be, for example, by extending a bottom wall horizontally from a position below the bathroom side projection wall of the lower frame main body portion 12a and placing a block-shaped member on top of it to form a visible surface having thickness both above and below.

[0040] In addition, by providing a lower rail on the lower frame main body portion 12a of the lower frame 12, it is not necessary to provide the rail portion 51 on the slope member 5, and the slope member 5 may be formed only by the slope portion 52.

[0041] Furthermore, the fixture of this embodiment is not limited to any particular type of door, and may be a sliding door or the like. It goes without saying that the above embodiments do not limit the invention described in the claims, but are treated as examples. [Explanation of symbols]
