The sixth plate portion 116 and the fourth plate portion 114 are arranged at approximately the same position in the width direction. The outdoor space S11 and the indoor space S13 have approximately the same width length. The first plate intermediate portion 117 is arranged set back outward in the width direction from the sixth plate portion 116 and the fourth plate portion 114. The width direction length of the wide space S12 is longer than the width direction lengths of the outdoor space S11 and the indoor space S13.

[0026] The outdoor space S11 is open to the outdoor side. The opening in the outdoor space S11 is called the first inlet T11. The first inlet T11 is located on a line connecting the surface 118a of the edging 118 of the first mullion 11A facing the outdoors and the surface 118a of the edging 118 of the second mullion 11B facing the outdoors.

[0027] The indoor space S13 opens into the panel space S1. The opening in the indoor space S13 is referred to as the second inlet T13. The second inlet T13 is located on a line connecting the sight surface 112a of the second plate portion 112 of the first mullion 11A facing the panel space S1 and the sight surface 112a of the second plate portion 112 of the second mullion 11B facing the panel space S1.

[0028] The outdoor space S11 is in communication with the outdoor space S11, the wide space S12, the indoor space S13, the first introduction port T11, and the panel space portion S1.

[0029] A water-repellent member 5 is arranged in the wide space S12. The water-repellent member 5 is fixed to the third plate portion 113 of one of the outdoor side columns 11 via a fixing member 6. The water-repellent member 5 is arranged over substantially the entire length of the outdoor side column 11 in the vertical direction. A plurality of fixing members 6 are fixed to the water-repellent member 5 at intervals in the vertical direction. In FIG. 4, the fixing members 6 are fixed to the second column 11B, but they may also be fixed to the first column 11A.

[0030] The fixing member 6 has a first fixing portion 61 and a second fixing portion 66. The first fixing portion 61 is disposed along a surface of the third plate portion 113 facing the outdoors. The first fixing portion 61 is fixed to the third plate portion 113 of the second mullion 11B with a screw 62. The second fixing portion 66 extends inward in the width direction from the first fixing portion 61. A nut groove 67 in which a nut 68 is placed is formed in the second fixing portion 66.

[0031] The water return member 5 has a fixed portion 51, a guide portion 52, and an extension portion 53. The fixed portion 51 is disposed on the outdoor side of the second fixed portion 66 of the fixed member 6. A bolt 54 is inserted through a bolt hole in the fixed portion 51 and fastened to a nut 68 provided on the fixed member 6. The guide portion 52 is provided on both sides in the width direction of the fixed portion 51. A guide surface 52a on the indoor side of the guide portion 52 is arc-shaped. The guide surface 52a has a convex shape that bulges outward in the width direction and toward the indoor side. The guide surface 52a is a quarter circle. The extension portion 53 protrudes from the fixed portion 51 to the outdoor side. The extension portion 53 is provided at two locations spaced apart in the width direction.

[0032] Rainwater that has entered the wide space S12 from the first inlet T11 through the outdoor space S11 collides with, for example, the tip of the guide portion 52 or the extension portion 53 of the water-repelling member 5. By colliding with the water-repelling member 5, the rainwater is prevented from entering the indoor side more than by the water-repelling member 5 in the mullion space S10.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 5, in the area where the fixing member 6 is not attached, the outside air A shown by the two-dot chain line is introduced into the outdoor space S11 from the first inlet T11. The outside air passes through the outdoor space S11 from the first inlet T11 and is introduced into the wide space S12. In the wide space S12, the outside air A collides with the tip of the guide portion 52 or the extension portion 53 of the water return member 5, for example, and flows to both outsides in the width direction. The outside air A flows to the indoor side between the guide portion 52 and the first plate middle portion 117 of the outdoor side stand 11. The outside air A is guided by the guide surface 52a between the guide portion 52 and the third plate portion 113 of the outdoor side stand 11 and flows inward in the width direction. Outside air A flows inward from both outer sides in the width direction and is collected near the boundary between the wide space S12 and the indoor space S13, passes through the indoor space S13, and is introduced into the outdoor space S11 through the first inlet T11.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4, at the location where the fixing member 6 is attached, the outside air A after colliding with the water-repelling member 5 in the wide space S12 passes mainly through the side in the width direction where the fixing member 6 is not attached, that is, the left side of the paper in Figure 4, and passes between the fixing member 6 and the third plate portion 113 to be introduced into the indoor space S13.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 6, the water-returning member 5 has a portion where an airtight material 7 is provided. The airtight material 7 is provided on both sides of the water-returning member 5 in the width direction. The airtight material 7 has a fitting portion 71 and a fin portion 72. The fitting portion 71 is fitted between the tip of the guide portion 52 of the water-returning member 5 and the tip of the extension portion 53. The fin portion 72 extends from the fitting portion 71 to the outdoor side. The fin portion 72 is provided at two positions separated in the width direction. The tip of the fin portion 72 abuts against the surface 115a of the fifth plate portion 115 of the outdoor side stand 11 facing the indoor side. The airtight material 7 closes the space between the water-returning member 5 and the surface 115a of the fifth plate portion 115, thereby restricting the flow of the outside air A. The surface 115a of the fifth plate portion 115 corresponds to the inner surface of the first stand and the inner surface of the second stand in the claims.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the airtight material 7 is not attached to the area B1 indicated by the two-dot chain line. The airtight material 7 is attached to the area B2 indicated by the two-dot chain line. In one upright member 16A, when the area B1 is at the lower end, the upper side of the area B1 is the area B2. In the upright member 16B arranged next to the one upright member 16A, the upper end is the area B1, and the lower side of the area B1 is the area B2. Outside air is introduced into the panel space S1 from the area B1 of the upright member 16A, and the rising outside air is discharged to the outside from the area B1 at the upper end of the adjacent upright member 16B. The flow of outside air discharged from the panel space S1 to the outside is a flow in the opposite direction to the flow introduced from the outside to the panel space S1. The outside air passes through the second inlet T13 from the panel space portion S1, the indoor space S13, the wide space S12, and the outdoor space S11, and is discharged to the outdoors from the first inlet T11.

[0037] In the example shown in FIG. 1, the vertical length of the region B1 where the airtight material 7 is not attached is shorter than the vertical length of the region B2 where the airtight material 7 is attached.

[0038] In the curtain wall 100, outside air is introduced into the panel space S1 from a first inlet T11 formed on the outdoor surface of the upright member 16 through a second inlet T13 formed on the visible surface of the upright member 16. Outside air can be introduced into the panel space S1 between the outdoor panel 4A and the indoor panel 4B.

[0039] The first inlet T11 and the second inlet T13 are formed on a surface along the left-right direction of the upright member 16. If the first inlet and the second inlet were formed on a surface along the indoor-outdoor direction, the first inlet and the second inlet would be conspicuous when viewed from indoors, but since the first inlet T11 and the second inlet T13 are formed on a surface along the left-right direction, they are not conspicuous when viewed from indoors, resulting in a good design.

[0040] The mullion space S10 formed between each outdoor side mullion 11 supporting adjacent outdoor side glass panels 4A, 4A serves as a passage for outside air. Since there is no need to form through holes penetrating the outdoor side mullion 11 in the indoor-outdoor direction to serve as a passage for outside air, the outdoor side mullion 11 can be easily manufactured.

[0041] The outside air is guided along the arc-shaped guide surface 52a of the water-return member 5. The outside air can be smoothly guided into the upright space S10.

[0042] The outside air can flow evenly along the guide surfaces 52a on both the left and right sides of the water-return member 5.

[0043] Since the water-repelling member 5 is provided with an airtight material 7, the gap between the water-repelling member 5 and the surface 115a of the fifth plate portion 115 of the outdoor side stand 11 is blocked. In the area where the airtight material 7 is provided, the introduction of outside air into the panel space portion S1 is restricted, so the flow rate, flow, etc. of the outside air can be adjusted.

[0044] (Modification) Next, a curtain wall according to a modified example will be described mainly with reference to Fig. 7. In the description of the modified example shown below, the same members as those described above are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0045] 7, in the curtain wall 100A, the fixing member 6A is attached to each of the first and second uprights 11A and 11B. The fixing member 6A has a first fixing portion 61, a second fixing portion 63, and a support portion 64.

[0046] The first fixing part 61 of the fixing member 6A is fixed to the third plate part 113 of the outdoor side column 11 with a screw 62. The second fixing part 63 extends from the inside in the width direction of the first fixing part 61 to the outdoor side. The support part 64 extends from the outside end part in the width direction of the first fixing part 61 to the outdoor side. The tip part 64a of the support part 64 is shaped to correspond to the guide surface 52a of the water return member 5A described later.

[0047] The water returning member 5A has a first water returning portion 55, a second water returning portion 56, and a connection portion 59.

[0048] The first water returning section 55 is fixed to the first upright 11A. The first water returning section 55 has a fixed section 57 and a guide section 52. The fixed section 57 is arranged along the outer side in the width direction of the second fixed section 63 of the fixed member 6A. The fixed section 57 is fixed to the second fixed section 63 with a screw 58. The guide section 52 is provided at the indoor end of the fixed section 57. The guide section 52 is supported by a tip section 64a of a support section 64 of the fixed member 6A. In the area where the fixed member 6A is not attached, the guide surface 52a of the guide section 52 is exposed.

[0049] The second water return section 56 is fixed to the second upright 11B. The second water return section 56 has a fixed section 57, a guide section 52, and an engagement section 60. The configurations of the fixed section 57 and guide section 52 of the second water return section 56 are the same as those of the fixed section 57 and guide section 52 of the first water return section 55. The engagement section 60 extends inward in the width direction from the outdoor side end of the fixed section 57. The surface of the engagement section 60 facing the indoor side is formed with a groove for engaging with the connection section 59 described later.

[0050] The connecting part 59 connects the first water return part 55 and the second water return part 56. The end of the connecting part 59 on the first water return part 55 side abuts the tip of the fixing part 57 of the first water return part 55. The connecting part 59 may be fixed to the first water return part 55. The end of the connecting part 59 on the second water return part 56 side engages with the groove of the engaging part 60.

[0051] In the curtain wall 100, outside air is introduced into the panel space S1 from a first inlet T11 formed on the outdoor surface of the upright member 16 through a second inlet T13 formed on the visible surface of the upright member 16. Outside air can be introduced into the panel space S1 between the outdoor panel 4A and the indoor panel 4B.

[0052] The first inlet T11 and the second inlet T13 are formed on a surface along the left-right direction of the upright member 16. If the first inlet T11 and the second inlet T13 were formed on a surface along the indoor-outdoor direction, the first inlet T11 and the second inlet T13 would be conspicuous when viewed from indoors, but since the first inlet T11 and the second inlet T13 are formed on a surface along the left-right direction, they are not conspicuous when viewed from indoors, and the design is good.

[0053] The water-returning member 5A is divided into a first water-returning section 55 fixed to the first upright 11A and a second water-returning section 56 fixed to the second upright 11B, and the first water-returning section 55 and the second water-returning section 56 are connected by a connection section 59. By dividing the water-returning member 5A, components such as the first water-returning section 55 and the second water-returning section 56 can be made smaller.

[0054] Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the examples. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above examples are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0055] In the embodiment described above, the vertical length of the region B1 where the airtight material 7 is not attached is shorter than the vertical length of the region B2 where the airtight material 7 is attached, but this is not limited to the above. The airtight material 7 only needs to be provided in at least a portion of the water-reflecting member 5 in the vertical direction. The vertical length of the region B1 may be longer than the vertical length of the region B2. In one upright member 16, the region B1 where the airtight material 7 is not attached may be provided in multiple locations above and below.
