The frame-side rail arrangement groove 341, the frame-side vertically elongated guide hole portion 342, and the frame-side screw hole portion 343 are arranged in this order from the outside X1 to the inside X2 on a virtual line K that extends horizontally in the indoor-outdoor direction (projection direction), as shown in Fig. 5.
[0017] The frame-side rail arrangement groove 341 is arranged on the outside X1 at the end face 34a (visible surface) of the outer end of the outer lateral cross frame 34. The frame-side rail arrangement groove 341 is formed with an open bottom and extends in the vertical direction. The frame-side rail arrangement groove 341 is arranged with the outside rail 221 of the lower frame 22 (see FIG. 2).
[0018] The frame-side vertical guide hole 342 is a hole formed on the interior side X2 of the frame-side rail arrangement groove 341 and extending a predetermined length in the vertical direction. When the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are attached to the lower end of the outer fitting frame 34 of the outer sash 3, a protruding pin 513 (described later) of the airtight cover part 51 that penetrates the sheet-side through engagement hole part 522 of the airtight resin sheet 52 is inserted into the frame-side vertical guide hole 342.
[0019] The frame-side screw hole 343 is formed on the indoor side X2 of the frame-side vertical guide hole 342, and is a hole into which the screw 53 is inserted. In a state in which the airtight cover 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are attached to the lower end of the outer joining frame 34 of the outer sash 3, the screw 53 passing through the cover-side vertical hole 512 of the airtight cover 51 and the sheet-side vertical hole 523 of the airtight resin sheet 52 is fixed in the frame-side screw hole 343.
[0020] The lower airtight member 5 will be described. As shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, the lower airtight member 5 has an airtight cover part 51, an airtight resin sheet 52, and a screw 53 (fixing screw). With the airtight resin sheet 52 attached to the outer joint frame 34 of the airtight cover part 51, the lower airtight member 5 is fixed to the lower end of the outer joint frame 34 by the screw 53.
[0021] The airtight cover portion 51 has a thickness in the left-right direction and a width in the up-down direction, and extends in the indoor-outdoor direction (projection direction). The airtight cover portion 51 has a cover-side rail arrangement groove 511, a cover-side vertically elongated hole portion 512, and a protruding pin 513.
[0022] The cover-side rail arrangement groove 511 is formed on the outdoor side X1 of the airtight cover part 51. The cover-side rail arrangement groove 511 is formed with an open lower side and extends in the up-down direction. The outdoor side rail 221 of the lower frame 22 is arranged in the cover-side rail arrangement groove 511.
[0023] The cover side vertical long hole 512 is formed on the indoor side X2 of the cover side rail arrangement groove 511. The cover side vertical long hole 512 extends a predetermined length in the vertical direction. When the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are attached to the lower end of the outer meeting frame 34 of the outer screen 3, the screw 53 is inserted through the cover side vertical long hole 512. When the screw 53 is not fixed, the cover side vertical long hole 512 can be moved in the vertical direction along the screw 53, thereby moving the airtight cover part 51 in the vertical direction.
[0024] The protruding pin 513 protrudes from the surface of the airtight cover part 51 on the side of the exterior fitting frame 34 toward the exterior fitting frame 34 between the cover side rail arrangement groove 511 and the cover side vertical hole 512 in the indoor / outdoor direction. The protruding pin 513 is inserted into the frame side vertical guide hole 342 of the exterior fitting frame 34 in a state in which it is disposed penetrating through the sheet side vertical hole 523 of the airtight resin sheet 52 described later. When the airtight cover part 51 is not fixed, the protruding pin 513 is moved in the vertical direction along the frame side vertical guide hole 342, and the airtight cover part 51 can be moved in the vertical direction.
[0025] The airtight resin sheet 52 is formed in a sheet shape, has a thickness in the left-right direction and a width in the up-down direction, and extends in the indoor-outdoor direction. The airtight resin sheet 52 is disposed between the airtight cover part 51 and the exterior meeting frame 34 in a state where the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are attached to the surface of the exterior meeting frame 34 side of the airtight cover part 51 when the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are attached to the lower end of the exterior meeting frame 34 of the exterior screen 3.
[0026] When the airtight resin sheet 52 is attached to the outer fitting frame 34, it has a downwardly-protruding airtight sheet portion 52a that protrudes downward, and a sideward-protruding airtight sheet portion 52b (protruding airtight portion) that protrudes toward the inner screen 4 side.
[0027] The vertical position of the airtight resin sheet 52 is adjusted when the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are attached to the lower end of the outer fitting frame 34 of the outer screen 3. The airtight resin sheet 52 is attached with its vertical position adjusted so that it comes into contact with a plurality of plate-like pieces 61 (fin members) of the lower frame wind stopper part 6 arranged below the lower airtight member 5.
[0028] The airtight resin sheet 52 has a seat-side rail arrangement groove 521 , a seat-side through-hole engagement portion 522 , and a seat-side vertically elongated hole portion 523 .
[0029] The seat-side rail arrangement groove 521 is formed on the outdoor side X1 of the airtight resin sheet 52 at a position overlapping with the cover-side rail arrangement groove 511 of the airtight cover part 51. The seat-side rail arrangement groove 521 is formed with an open lower side and extends in the up-down direction. The outdoor side rail 221 of the lower frame 22 is arranged in the seat-side rail arrangement groove 521.
[0030] The sheet-side through engagement hole 522 is formed on the room side X2 of the sheet-side rail arrangement groove 521. The sheet-side through engagement hole 522 is formed to a size that allows the protruding pin 513 to penetrate and be disposed at a position where the protruding pin 513 of the airtight cover part 51 protrudes. In a state where the airtight resin sheet 52 is attached to the airtight cover part 51, the protruding pin 513 of the airtight cover part 51 penetrates and engages with the sheet-side through engagement hole 522. In a state where the protruding pin 513 of the airtight cover part 51 penetrates and engages with the sheet-side through engagement hole 522, the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are integrated, and the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 can move integrally in the up and down direction.
[0031] The sheet-side vertically elongated hole 523 is formed at a position overlapping the cover-side vertically elongated hole 512 of the airtight cover part 51 on the indoor side X2 of the sheet-side through-engagement hole 522, and extends a predetermined length in the vertical direction. The cover-side vertically elongated hole 512 is disposed to receive the screw 53 inserted through the cover-side vertically elongated hole 512 of the airtight cover part 51. When the screw 53 is not fixed, the sheet-side vertically elongated hole 523 can be moved in the vertical direction along the screw 53, thereby moving the airtight resin sheet 52 in the vertical direction.
[0032] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the downwardly protruding airtight sheet portion 52a of the airtight resin sheet 52 contacts the lower frame wind stop portion 6 provided on the upper surface of the lower frame 22, ensuring airtightness between the outer screen 3 and the inner screen 4 at the joint portion 10 between the outer screen 3 and the inner screen 4.
[0033] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the lower frame wind stopper 6 has multiple plate-like pieces 61. The multiple plate-like pieces 61 are formed protruding from the lower frame 22 side to the outer screen 3 side. The multiple plate-like pieces 61 are arranged with their faces aligned along the indoor / outdoor direction, and are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the lower frame 22.
[0034] As shown in Fig. 8, the plate-like piece 61 has a height that overlaps with the downwardly protruding airtight sheet portion 52a of the airtight resin sheet 52 attached to the lower end of the outer meeting frame 34 of the outer screen 3. The multiple plate-like pieces 61 come into contact with the lower end of the outer meeting frame 34 of the outer screen 3 that moves to open and close, and elastically deform so as to fall along the direction in which the lower frame 22 extends. As a result, the multiple plate-like pieces 61 close the gap between the lower end of the outer meeting frame 34 arranged in the closed position and the upper surface of the lower frame 22, ensuring airtightness. The vertical position of the downwardly protruding airtight sheet portion 52a of the airtight resin sheet 52 is adjusted when the airtight cover portion 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are attached to the lower end of the outer meeting frame 34 of the outer screen 3.
[0035] The laterally protruding airtight sheet portion 52b of the airtight resin sheet 52, which protrudes toward the inner meeting frame 44 of the inner screen 4, contacts the outside side X1 of the bottom frame 42 of the inner screen 4, ensuring airtightness between the outer screen 3 and the inner screen 4.
[0036] When attaching the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 to the outer meeting frame 34 of the outer screen 3, the protruding pin 513 of the airtight cover part 51 is inserted into the frame-side vertical guide hole part 342 with the protruding pin 513 of the airtight cover part 51 penetrating the sheet-side through engagement hole part 522 of the airtight resin sheet 52. In this state, the protruding pin 513 of the airtight cover part 51 is moved vertically along the frame-side vertical guide hole part 342 to adjust the vertical positions of the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52. Then, the airtight cover part 51 and the airtight resin sheet 52 are fixed to the projecting surface of the outer meeting frame 34 with the screws 53.
[0037] In this state, as shown in Figure 7, the airtight member 5 can be attached to the outer joint frame 34 of the outer screen 3 with the screw 53, the frame side vertical guide hole portion 342, and the outdoor rail 221 lined up on the imaginary line K in the indoor / outdoor direction.
[0038] In the above-described lower airtight member 5, the screw 53, the frame-side vertically elongated guide hole portion 342, and the outdoor rail 221 are arranged side by side on the imaginary line K in the indoor / outdoor direction. This makes it possible to reduce the vertical size of the lower airtight member 5. This allows the lower airtight member 5 to be formed compactly in the vertical direction.
[0039] According to this embodiment, the following effects are achieved. The sliding window 1 of this embodiment includes a frame body 2 having a lower frame 22, a shoji screen 3 arranged in the frame body 2 and movable in the horizontal direction, and a lower airtight member 5 arranged at the lower end of the outer door frame 34 of the outer door frame 3 and fixed to the lower end of the outer door frame 34 of the outer door frame 3 by adjusting the vertical position, the lower frame 22 has an outdoor rail 221 that protrudes upward and guides the horizontal movement of the outer door frame 3, the lower airtight member 5 has a protruding pin 513 protruding toward the outer door frame 34 side, the outer door frame 34 has a vertical guide hole 342 on the frame side that guides the vertical movement of the protruding pin 513, and the screw 53, the vertical guide hole 342 on the frame side, and the outdoor rail 221 are arranged side by side in the indoor / outdoor direction. This allows the airtight member 5 to be formed compactly in the vertical direction.
[0040] In this embodiment, the airtight member 5 has a side-projecting airtight sheet portion 52b that projects to one side in the indoor / outdoor direction, and among the screw 53, the frame-side vertical guide hole portion 342, and the outdoor rail 221, the screw 53 is disposed closest to the side-projecting airtight sheet portion 52b. This allows the side-projecting airtight sheet portion 52b side of the airtight resin sheet 52 to be firmly fixed by the screw 53, thereby improving the airtight performance of the side-projecting airtight sheet portion 52b of the airtight resin sheet 52. For example, in this embodiment, the side-projecting airtight sheet portion 52b is in contact with the side surface of the outside X1 of the bottom frame 42 of the inner screen 4. Therefore, since the position fixed by the screw 53 is close to the side-projecting airtight sheet portion 52b, the side-projecting airtight sheet portion 52b can be brought into closer contact with the bottom frame 42 of the inner screen 4. This further improves the airtight performance between the bottom frame 42 of the inner screen 4.
[0041] In this embodiment, the airtight member 5 is fixed to the lower end of the outer meeting frame 34 disposed at the meeting portion 10 of the outer screen 3 and the inner screen 4. This improves the airtight performance at the lower end of the outer meeting frame 34 of the outer screen 3.
[0042] Although a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be modified as appropriate.
[0043] In the embodiment, the screw 53, the frame-side vertically elongated guide hole portion 342, and the outdoor rail 221 are arranged in this order from the indoor side X2 toward the outdoor side X1, but the order is not limited to this. For example, the screw 53 (fixing screw) may be arranged in the middle of the order of the screw 53 (fixing screw), the frame-side vertically elongated guide hole portion 342 (guide portion), and the outdoor rail 221 (upwardly protruding rail).
