[0011] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0012] Reference numeral 1 denotes a wall that separates the interior and exterior of a building. An opening is formed in this wall 1, and a window frame 3 made of metal such as aluminum is attached to the inside of a wooden window edge portion 2. The lintel portion 4 of the window frame 3 has an upper rail 5 and an end portion 6 hanging down to guide the door 50 and prevent rainwater from entering, and the threshold portion 7 has a lower rail 8 and an end portion 9 raised up.

[0013] Reference numeral 10 denotes a rectangular mounting frame for mounting an integrated air conditioner 90 for window mounting, and has a top surface 12a, a bottom surface 11a, a door side surface 11b, and an opposite side surface 11c.

[0014] The mounting frame 10 is composed of a main body frame 11 to which the integrated air conditioner 90 is attached, and a slide frame 12 which is slidably connected to the main body frame 11 in accordance with the height of the window frame 3. The main frame 11 of the mounting frame 10 is made of an extruded aluminum product and is assembled into a vertical rectangle by an upper horizontal bar, a lower horizontal bar corresponding to the bottom surface 11a, and two vertical bars on the left and right corresponding to the door side surface 11b and the opposite door side surface 11c.

[0015] The sliding frame 12 of the mounting frame 10 is assembled into a U-shape by an upper horizontal bar corresponding to the upper surface 12a and two vertical bars on the left and right, and these vertical bars are slid from above into the vertical bars of the main frame 11 to form a freely slidable connection.

[0016] The mounting frame 10 for mounting the integrated air conditioner 90 is fixed to the window frame 3 on the open side of the door 50 of the window frame 3, but in the first embodiment, the opening side of the door 50 is described as being on the left side as viewed from the window frame 3. Of course, it is also possible to reverse the left and mount the unit on the right side.

[0017] A rear flange 16 is raised from the upper surface portion 15 of the upper surface 12a, which is the cross rail of the slide frame 12, and a screw-fastening flange 17 is provided forward of this rear flange 16. A screw hole (not shown) is formed in this screw-fastening flange 17, and the end portion 6 of the window frame 3 is positioned between the rear flange 16 and the screw-fastening flange 17. A decorative screw 19 is screwed into the screw hole to clamp and fix the end portion 6 between the tip of the decorative screw 19 and the rear flange 16.

[0018] Further, a front flange 20 is provided further forward of the screw fixing flange 17 . This front flange 20 has a hole 21 of larger diameter than the screw hole facing it, making it easy for the worker to identify the position of the screw hole during installation and enabling the screw to be fastened straight into the screw hole. By adjusting the position of the front flange 20 and the length of the decorative screw 19, it is possible to prevent deformation of the end 6 of the window frame 3 (made of aluminum, etc.) and the rear flange 16 due to over-tightening of the decorative screw 19.

[0019] In addition, a similar rear flange 23, a screw-fastening flange 24, a front flange 25, and a decorative screw 26 are provided on the lower surface portion 22 of the bottom surface 11a of the main body frame 11 in the vertically opposite direction to the upper surface portion 15, and the end portion 9 is sandwiched and fixed by the rear flange 23 and the decorative screw 26. Reference numeral 27 denotes a bellows plate which expands and contracts according to the mounting position of the slide frame 12 and prevents an opening from being formed between the top of the integrated air conditioner 90 and the mounting frame 10.

[0020] Reference numeral 30 denotes a rectangular, flat, soft resin gasket that is attached to the outside of the door side surface 11b of the mounting frame 10 and seals the gap between the door side surface 11b and the door 50. Reference numeral 11d denotes a packing support portion that supports the end portion of the packing 30 provided on the door side surface 11b of the mounting frame 10 on the door side surface 11b side.

[0021] In addition, the gasket 30 has a double structure consisting of a main body portion 30a and a sliding portion 30b that can slide freely against the main body portion 30a, and is configured to expand and contract in accordance with the height of the mounting frame 10, allowing for closure according to the height of the window frame 3.

[0022] The packing support portion 11d includes a body support portion 11da that supports the body portion 30a of the double-structure packing 30, and a slide support portion 11db that supports the slide portion 30b.

[0023] Reference numeral 70 denotes a stopper that is located on the door side surface 11b of the mounting frame 10 and prevents the door 50 from being closed. The stopper 70 is a plate-like member extending such that its long sides extend in the indoor / outdoor directions and its short sides extend in the vertical directions.

[0024] 12e is a locking portion that enables the stopper 70 to slide from the outside to the inside of the room or from the inside to the outside of the room, and specifically, it is two shoulder screws with the same diameter thick portions 12d arranged in the indoor / outdoor direction, and the height of the thick diameter portions 12d of the shoulder screws is greater than the material thickness of the stopper 70.

[0025] Reference numeral 71 denotes a locking receiving portion that is provided on the stopper 70 and receives the locking portion 12e, and is specifically an elongated hole whose long side opens in the indoor / outdoor direction.

[0026] Reference numeral 77 denotes a tip portion of the stopper 70 on the outdoor side. Reference numeral 72 denotes a curved portion provided on the stopper 70, and the stopper 70 is formed in a shape such that a tip portion 77 of the stopper 70 curves around to the opposite door side surface 11c when the stopper 70 is slid toward the outside of the room. The curved portion 72 connects a straight section on the outside of the room with a straight section on the inside of the room with a gentle curve, and the position of the curved portion 72 in the stopper 70 is located at the division point that divides the long side of the stopper 70 into the outside and inside of the room in a ratio of approximately 7:3.

[0027] Reference numeral 73 denotes a first protrusion for suppressing rattling noise of the stopper 70, which is located on the interior side of the door from the engagement receiving portion 71 of the stopper 70 and is curved toward the side surface 11c opposite the door. The first convex portion 73 abuts against the door side surface 11b when the stopper 70 is at the exterior end of the room, and at the same time, the stopper 70 abuts against the head seat of the shoulder screw, which is the engaging portion 12e. The first protrusion 73 abuts against the door side surface 11b when the stopper 70 is on the outside of the room, and does not abut against the door side surface 11b when the stopper 70 is on the inside of the room.

[0028] 74 is a second convex portion for preventing rattling when the stopper 70 slides. It is located on the outside of the room from the first convex portion 73 of the stopper 70 and is formed by bending the upper and lower ends of the stopper 70 toward the opposite door side surface 11c. The second protrusion 74 abuts against the door side surface 11b when the stopper 70 is located on the indoor side, and does not abut against the door side surface 11b when the stopper 70 is located on the outdoor side. Furthermore, when the stopper 70 is slid toward the inside or outside of the room, the height of the second convex portion 74, including the material thickness of the stopper 70, approximately matches the height of the thick-diameter portion 12d of the shoulder screw, which is the engaging portion 12e, so that the stopper 70 can slide without any rattling.

[0029] Further, 74a is a peak end portion which is the end portion on the outdoor side of the apex of the second convex portion 74, and is arranged so as to be located on the indoor side more than the engaging portion 12e when the stopper 70 is slid to the indoor side end. Further, an inclined portion 74b is formed so that the convex shape of the second convex portion 74 gradually fades out from the peak end portion 74a of the second convex portion 74 toward the outdoor side.

[0030] 75 is a third convex portion for preventing damage to the integrated air conditioner 90 due to contact between the stopper 70 and the integrated air conditioner 90, and is a bead-shaped convex portion located on the outdoor side of the inclined portion 74b and the locking receiving portion 71 of the stopper 70, protruding toward the door 50 and extending in the vertical direction. This third convex portion 75 is designed so that when the stopper 70 is slid to the indoor end, the third convex portion 75 abuts against the head seat of the shoulder screw, and the first convex portion 73 on the indoor side of the stopper 70 swings toward the door 50, using the peak end 74a of the second convex portion 74 as a fulcrum.

[0031] Reference numeral 76 denotes a knob portion for sliding the stopper 70.

[0032] Reference numeral 31 denotes an opening formed in the packing 30 for allowing the stopper 70 to pass therethrough.

[0033] In addition, the first convex portion 73 may be a dowel (not shown) that is located on the indoor side of the locking receiving portion 71 of the stopper 70 and protrudes toward the door 50.In this case, this first convex portion 73 abuts against the locking portion 12e, which is a stepped screw, when the stopper 70 is on the indoor side, and does not abut against the locking portion 12e, which is a stepped screw, when the stopper 70 is on the indoor side.

[0034] In addition, the second convex portion 74 may be a bead or bent portion (not shown) extending in the indoor / outdoor direction, located on the outdoor side of the first convex portion 73 of the stopper 70, protruding toward the door 50, and abutting the head seat of the shoulder screw when the stopper 70 is on the indoor side.In this case, the second convex portion 74 abuts against the head seat of the shoulder screw, which is the engagement portion 12e, when the stopper 70 is on the indoor side, but does not abut against the head seat of the shoulder screw, which is the engagement portion 12e, when the stopper 70 is on the outdoor side.

[0035] The operation of the first embodiment will be described.

[0036] By aligning the rear flange 23 of the lower surface 22 of the main frame 11 with the exterior side of the end 9 of the threshold section 7, and pulling the sliding frame 12 out of the main frame 11 and gradually sliding it upward, and pushing it up while aligning the rear flange 16 on the upper surface 15 of the sliding frame 12 with the exterior side of the end 6 of the lintel section 4, the sliding frame 12 will be pulled out from the main frame 11 to an appropriate dimension, and by tightening the fixing nuts (not shown) on the left and right vertical bars, the door side side 11b and the anti-door side side 11c, the sliding frame 12 will be prevented from moving vertically.

[0037] Next, by tightening the decorative screws 19, 26 provided on the bottom surface 11a and the top surface 12a, respectively, the ends 6, 9 of the window frame 3 are fixed between the rear flanges 16, 23 and the decorative screws 19, 26. Then, the integrated air conditioner 90 is fixed to the mounting frame 10.

[0038] Next, the door 50 is opened once, the knob portion 76 is grasped and the stopper 70 is slid to the outside of the room, the stopper 70 is passed through the opening 31 in the gasket 30, and the first protrusion 73 of the stopper 70 is slid to a position where it abuts and fits tightly against the door side surface 11b.

[0039] Then, when the door 50 is slid in the closing direction and the gasket 30 is clamped between the door 50 and the stopper 70, the gasket support portion 11d supports the end portion of the gasket 30 on the door side surface 11b, and since the stopper 70 penetrates the opening 31 in the gasket 30, the gasket 30 does not extend in a straight line from the gasket support portion 11d to the outside tip portion of the gasket 30 that is clamped between the door 50 and the stopper 70, but rather the gasket 30 curves to form the surface of an imaginary semicylinder 32 whose axis is in the vertical direction. This completes preparation for operation of the integrated air conditioner 90.

[0040] On the other hand, when stopping the integrated air conditioner 90 and fully closing the door 50, first open the door 50 slightly, pinch the knob portion 76 and slide the stopper 70 toward the inside of the room until the second protrusion 74 abuts against the door side surface 11b and the third protrusion 75 abuts against the engaging portion 12e, pull out the stopper 70 from the opening 31 of the gasket 30, and manually press the gasket 30 toward the opposite door side surface 11c, thereby fully closing the door 50.

[0041] As a result, the stopper 70 is configured with a curved portion 72 that is formed to wrap around the side surface 11c opposite the door when the stopper 70 is slid toward the outside of the room.Therefore, when the gasket 30 is clamped between the stopper 70 and the door 50, the gasket 30 curves to form the surface of an imaginary semicylinder 32 with its axis in the vertical direction.As a result, vertical twists and wrinkles in the gasket 30 are eliminated, the gap with the door 50 is reduced, the degree of sealing is improved, and the exceptional effect of preventing the intrusion of insects and rainwater is achieved.

[0042] In addition, the stopper 70 is equipped with a first convex portion 73, and when the stopper 70 is on the outside of the room, the first convex portion 73 abuts against the door side surface 11b, and the stopper 70 abuts against the head seat of the shoulder screw, which is the engagement portion 12e. Therefore, the stopper 70 can be slid to the outside of the room by pinching the knob portion 76, and the stopper 70 can be tightly attached to the mounting frame 10. Even if vibrations caused by the operation of the integrated air conditioner 90 are transmitted to the stopper 70 via the sliding mechanism formed by the engagement portion 12e and the engagement receiving portion 71, the generation of rattling noise can be suppressed.

[0043] In addition, the stopper 70 is equipped with a second convex portion 74, and when the stopper 70 is on the inside of the room, the second convex portion 74 abuts the door side surface 11b. Therefore, when the stopper 70 is slid toward the inside of the room or toward the outside of the room, the height of the second convex portion 74, including the material thickness of the stopper 70, approximately matches the height of the large-diameter portion 12d of the shoulder screw, which is the engaging portion 12e, allowing the stopper 70 to slide, thereby suppressing rattling during sliding and enabling smooth sliding.

[0044] In addition, the stopper 70 is provided with a second convex portion 74 and a third convex portion 75 which are bent toward the opposite door side surface 11c, and when the stopper 70 is on the inside of the room, the third convex portion 75 abuts against the head seat of the shoulder screw, which is the engaging portion 12e.Since the first convex portion 73 of the stopper 70 swings toward the door 50 using the peak end portion 74a of the second convex portion 74 as a fulcrum, it is possible to prevent damage to the integrated air conditioner 90 due to the stopper 70 coming into contact with the integrated air conditioner 90.

[0045] In addition, the mounting frame 10 is configured with an engaging portion 12e and an engaging receiving portion 71 that enable the stopper 70 to slide in an approximately linear manner from the outside to the inside of the room or from the inside to the outside of the room. Therefore, when changing the door 50 from a fully closed state to a state in which it can be operated, the door 50 can be moved to a state in which it can be operated simply by opening it slightly wider than the width of the integrated air conditioner 90. Therefore, the mounting frame 10 can be attached as long as the width of the window frame 3 is approximately twice or more the width of the integrated air conditioner 90, which has the effect of being able to accommodate window frames 3 of a wider variety of widths.

[0046] The stopper 70 and the gasket 30 can be selectively attached to either the left or right side of the mounting frame 10 depending on the left or right opening direction of the door 50.

[0047] The other configurations used in the present embodiment are presented as examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and may be embodied in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and spirit of the invention, and are included in the invention and its equivalents described in the claims.
