[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a frame material for a structure that is provided on the inner edge of a passable opening in a structure, a fitting device that uses this frame material for a structure, and a method for manufacturing this frame material for a structure. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, this type of invention includes a gate-shaped frame body composed of left and right vertical frames and an upper frame connecting the upper ends of these vertical frames, as described in Patent Document 1, for example. This gate frame is attached to the inner edge of a passageway in a building or the like to form an opening for people, objects, etc. In some cases, a door body is attached inside the gate frame so that it can be opened and closed to form a fitting such as a sliding door or a hinged door.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-246898 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, the conventional gate frame body described above usually protrudes in a corner shape from the inner edge of an opening in a building, wall surface, or ceiling surface. For this reason, a person or object passing through may come into contact with the protruding corner of the gate frame body, which may damage the protruding part or give an impact to the person or object that comes into contact with it. Therefore, for example, an angle-shaped buffer member may be attached to the protruding corner portion of the gate-shaped frame by double-sided tape or the like. However, according to such conventional technology, there is a risk that the angle-shaped buffer member may come off due to contact with a person or object, and the appearance is also undesirable. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In view of the above problems, one aspect of the present invention has the following configuration. A frame material for a structure which is provided along the inner edge of an opening in a structure, comprising a frame material main body which extends along the inner edge of the opening, and a cushioning member which is provided on the frame material main body and which cushions the impact of an object contacting it from the outside, wherein the frame material main body has a recess which extends in the continuous direction of the inner edge of the opening, and the cushioning member is fitted into the recess. Effect of the Invention

[0006] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to make the buffer member less likely to come off. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this specification, the term “inside the frame” refers to the inside of the frame body 10 which is configured in a gate shape or a rectangular frame shape, and the term “outside the frame” refers to the outside of the frame body 10 .

[0009] <First embodiment> FIG. 1 shows an example of a fitting device using a frame material for a structure according to the present invention. The fitting device 1 is attached to a passable opening in a structure X such as a building. This fitting device 1 comprises a frame body 10 that is attached in a roughly gate-like shape along the inner edge of an opening in a structure X, and a door body 20 that opens and closes an opening 10a within this frame body 10, and constitutes a hanging sliding door that is hung and slid laterally to open and close.

[0010] The frame body 10 comprises a structure frame material 11 which is a vertical frame facing the door end surface of the door body 20, a vertical frame 12 which is erected at a distance from the structure frame material 11 towards the door end direction, a vertical frame 13 which is erected at a further distance from the vertical frame 12 towards the door end direction, and a horizontal frame 14 which connects the upper ends of the structure frame material 11 and the vertical frames 12, 13 and covers the upper end side of the door body 20 which opens and closes.

[0011] The structure frame material 11 constitutes a vertical frame on the door-end side of the frame body 10, and is provided along the inner edge a1 (see FIG. 1) in the up-down direction of the opening of the structure X.

[0012] The vertical frame 12 near the center in the width direction passes through the door body 20 in a penetrating manner in the left-right direction. That is, according to Fig. 2, the door body 20 passes through the vertical frame 12 to the left to perform a closing operation, and passes through the vertical frame 12 to the right to perform an opening operation.

[0013] The vertical frame 13 on the door end side is located on the door end direction side within the door pocket 15 that houses the door body 20, and faces the door end portion of the door body 20 when the door is fully opened. The door pocket 15 is formed in a bag shape with an opening at the door end by the wall materials on both sides in the thickness direction of the door body and the vertical frame 13.

[0014] The horizontal frame 14 is provided in a long shape extending horizontally above the door body 20 so as to cover the upper end of the door body 20 that opens and closes. This horizontal frame 14 is sometimes called a crossbeam. The horizontal frame 14 has a generally inverted concave vertical cross section that is open downward and continues in the horizontal direction, and the upper end of the door body 20 is inserted into the interior of the horizontal frame 14. Inside the horizontal frame 14, a rail (not shown) is provided for suspending the hoist 22 of the door body 20 in a rotatable manner.

[0015] The door body 20 has a door body main body 21 which is a vertically long plate when viewed from the front, and a plurality of hoists 22 provided at the upper end of this door body main body 21. This door body 20 has a hoist 22 that is hung on a rail (not shown) within the horizontal frame 14 and rolls thereon, and moves laterally between a closed position in which it covers almost the entire area of ​​the opening 10a, and an open position (see Figure 1) in which it moves toward the door end and opens the opening 10a. In addition, the symbol 23 denotes a handle portion that is placed on and pulled left and right when opening and closing the door body 20.

[0016] The frame material 11 for a structure comprises a frame material main body 11a extending in the vertical direction along the inner edge a1 of the opening of the structure X, and a cushioning member 11b provided on this frame material main body 11a to cushion the impact of an object abutting against it from the outside (see FIG. 3).

[0017] The frame material body 11a has a recess 11a2 formed by bending a plate-shaped raw material (not shown) at one corner side in the projection direction toward the inside. The recess 11a2 is continuous in an elongated shape along the inner edge a1 in the vertical direction of the opening of the structure X.

[0018] In more detail, the frame material main body 11a is formed by bending a flat plate-shaped raw material to form a protruding corner portion 11a1 where the visible surface intersects with the visible surface, and a recessed portion 11a2 formed by bending this protruding corner portion 11a1 inward. In the illustrated example, the protruding corner portion 11a1 is located on the upper side of the frame material 11 for a structure, and the recessed portion 11a2 is located on the lower side of the frame material 11 for a structure.

[0019] The recess 11a2 has a generally L-shaped cross section formed by a first surface 11a21 generally parallel to the visible surface and a second surface 11a22 generally parallel to the visible surface intersecting with each other, the cross section being continuous in the vertical direction (see FIG. 3).

[0020] The first surface portion 11a21 and the second surface portion 11a22 are each provided with a cutout portion 11a23 having an L-shaped cross section and extending in the vertical direction across both surfaces. The cutout 11a23 facilitates bending of the recess 11a2.

[0021] This notch 11a23 can also be used to fasten a cushioning member 11bB, as in a structure frame material 11B (see FIG. 8) described later. It should be noted that this cutout portion 11a23 may be omitted.

[0022] The recess 11a2 having the above-mentioned configuration is provided near the lower end of the frame material 11 for a structure so as to extend in the vertical direction (see FIG. 1).

[0023] The buffer member 11b fits into the recess 11a2 so as to be in contact with the first surface portion 11a21 and the second surface portion 11a22. This cushioning member 11b is formed into a long rectangular parallelepiped shape extending in the vertical direction, and according to an example shown in Figures 3, 4, and 6, it is formed so as to be approximately flush with the visible surface and the visible surface of the structure frame material 11. The cushioning member 11b is bonded to the first surface portion 11a21 and the second surface portion 11a22 by an adhesive material 11a5 (double-sided tape or adhesive) (see FIG. 6).

[0024] The material of this buffer member 11b may be an elastic material having appropriate elasticity (for example, rubber or elastomer resin), or a low-resilience material (for example, low-resilience urethane foam).

[0025] <Action and effect> According to the above embodiment, even if a person or object attempting to pass through the opening 10a accidentally hits the frame material for the structure 11, the impact of the hit can be mitigated by the cushioning member 11b, thereby preventing damage to the frame material for the structure 11, the person, the object, etc. due to the hit. Moreover, since the buffer member 11b fits into the recess 11a2, it is unlikely to come off even if it receives an impact or if the adhesive portion deteriorates. Furthermore, by appropriately adjusting the depth of the recess 11a2, the thickness of the cushioning member 11b can be easily increased or decreased without increasing the amount by which the cushioning member 11b protrudes from the outer surface of the frame material main body 11a, thereby providing an excellent impact absorbing effect. Moreover, the sense of unity between the frame body 11a and the cushioning member 11b is improved, and the appearance is also good in terms of design. Moreover, the recess 11a2 can be formed by bending a plate-shaped raw material, and the workability is excellent.

[0026] <Second embodiment> Next, another example of a frame material for structures according to the present invention will be described. In addition, since the frame material for structures described below is a modified version of the frame material for structures 11 having the above-described configuration, the modified parts will mainly be described in detail, and parts that function in approximately the same way will be given the same symbols as the frame material for structures 11 described above.

[0027] A structure frame material 11A shown in FIG. 7 is obtained by replacing the buffer member 11b in the structure frame material 11 with a buffer member 11bA. The buffer member 11bA is set to have larger vertical and horizontal dimensions in cross section than the above-mentioned frame material for structure 11. When the buffer member 11bA is fitted into the recess 11a2, the exposed surface located on the outside of the frame material for structure 11 protrudes outward from the visible surface and the visible surface of the frame material for structure 11.

[0028] Therefore, according to the frame material for a structure 11A shown in FIG. 7, the thickness of the cushioning member 11bA can be secured to be relatively large, thereby effectively mitigating the impact when a person, object, etc. comes into contact with the frame material for a structure 11.

[0029] In addition, a preferred modified example of the above-mentioned structure frame material 11A is one in which the exposed surface of the cushioning member 11bA protrudes outward from the visible surface of the structure frame material 11 (the left end surface in Figure 7), and is flush with the visible surface of the structure frame material 11 without protruding from the visible surface. According to this modification, the width of the opening 10a can be made wider, and the occurrence of objects coming into contact with the cushioning member 11bA can be reduced.

[0030] <Second embodiment> A structure frame material 11B shown in FIG. 8 is obtained by replacing the buffer member 11b in the structure frame material 11 with a buffer member 11bB.

[0031] The buffer member 11bB is configured by adding an engagement portion 11b1 that protrudes in the forward direction to the buffer member 11b.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 8, the engagement portion 11b1 is fitted into and locked in the notch portion 11a23 of the frame material main body 11a.

[0033] Therefore, according to the frame material for a structure 11B shown in Figure 8, the joining strength of the cushioning member 11bB to the frame material main body 11a can be improved, and the cushioning member 11bB can be effectively prevented from coming off due to impact or deterioration of the joint.

[0034] <Third embodiment> A structure frame material 11C shown in FIG. 9 is obtained by replacing the buffer member 11b in the structure frame material 11 with a buffer member 11bC.

[0035] The cushioning member 11bC is obtained by adding a convex portion 11b2 that protrudes in the front direction to the cushioning member 11b.

[0036] The protrusion 11b2 is continuous over the entire length of the cushioning member 11bC in the longitudinal direction. The protrusion 11b2 is inserted into the cutout 11a23 of the frame body 11a and comes into contact with the bottom surface 11a3 of the frame body 11a.

[0037] The bottom surface portion 11a3 is provided at a distance in the front direction from the first surface portion 11a21 that constitutes the recess 11a2 in the frame material main body 11a, and is formed by a bent portion of the frame material main body 11a. That is, the frame material main body 11a has a bent portion bent in the prospective direction so as to contact the inner edge a1 (see FIG. 1) of the structure X, and the tip side of this bent portion functions as the bottom surface portion 11a3 (see FIG. 9).

[0038] The protruding portion 11b2 and the bottom portion 11a3 are bonded together via an adhesive 11a5.

[0039] Therefore, according to the frame material for a structure 11C shown in FIG. 9, the joining strength of the cushioning member 11bC to the frame material main body 11a can be improved, and the cushioning member 11bC can be effectively prevented from coming off due to impact or deterioration of the joint. <Fourth embodiment> A frame material for a structure 11D shown in FIG. 10 is obtained by replacing the frame material main body 11a of the above-mentioned frame material for a structure 11 with a frame material main body 11aD and replacing the cushioning member 11b with a cushioning member 11bD.

[0040] The frame material main body 11aD is obtained by omitting the notch 11a23 from the frame material main body 11a, and by providing an engaged portion 11a32 on the first surface portion 11a21 of the recess 11a2. In the illustrated example, the engaged portion 11a32 is a through-hole.

[0041] The buffer member 11bD has an engaging portion 11b3 that fits into the engaged portion 11a32 on the surface of the buffer member 11b that faces the first surface portion 11a21. The engaging portion 11b3 is formed in an arrow-shaped vertical section with a larger diameter at the upper side, and is elastically contracted and inserted into the engaged portion 11a32, with the upper end portion elastically expanding in diameter on the back side of the first surface portion 11a21.

[0042] Therefore, according to the frame material for a structure 11D shown in FIG. 10, the joining strength of the cushioning member 11bD to the frame material main body 11a can be improved, and the cushioning member 11bD can be effectively prevented from coming off due to impact or deterioration of the joint.

[0043] In the structure frame material 11D shown in Fig. 10, the engaged portion 11a32 may be a notch, and a hook-shaped engaging portion (not shown) may be engaged in the notch. Also, the concave-convex relationship between the engaged portion 11a32 and the engaging portion 11b3 may be reversed.

[0044] <Other Modifications> According to the above embodiment, examples have been given of the cushioning member protruding from the surface of the frame material main body (see Figure 7), the cushioning member being engaged with the cutout portion 11a23 (see Figure 8), the cushioning member being inserted into the cutout portion 11a23 and abutting against the bottom portion 11a3 (see Figure 9), and the engaging portion 11b3 of the cushioning member engaging with the engaged portion 11a32 in the recess (see Figure 10).However, as other examples, it is also possible to combine these aspects as appropriate.

[0045] According to the above embodiment, the lower end of the cushioning member is approximately aligned with the lower end of the frame material main body (see Figures 1 and 3). However, as another example, the lower end of the recess 11a2 may be positioned above the lower end of the frame material main body, and the lower end of the cushioning member may be positioned above the lower end of the frame material main body.

[0046] According to the above embodiment, the cushioning member is provided only on the corner-like portion of the entrance side or exit side of the frame body 10 (the lower side on the paper in Figure 2), but as another example, it is also possible to provide the cushioning member in the manner described above on the corner-like portions of both the entrance side and exit side of the frame body 10 (the lower side and upper side on the paper in Figure 2).

[0047] The frame material for the structure may have a shape other than that shown in the figure, so long as it has the recess 11a2 extending in the continuous direction of the inner edge a1 of the opening. For example, it is possible for the recess 11a2 to be formed in a long material having a shape such as a channel steel, Z-shaped steel, angle steel, or square steel tube.

[0048] According to the above embodiment, the frame material for a structure 11 is used as the vertical frame on the door end side, but in a similar manner, the frame material for a structure equipped with the above-mentioned cushioning member can be used as the vertical frame 12 on the central side in the width direction (see Figure 1) or as the upper horizontal frame 14.

[0049] According to the above embodiment, the fitting device 1 is a sliding door that is opened and closed manually, but as another example of this fitting device, it is also possible to use a sliding door that is opened and closed electrically.

[0050] According to the above embodiment, the frame material for structures having the above-mentioned configuration is applied to a suspended sliding door, but as an example other than the illustrated example, this frame material for structures can be applied to a non-suspended sliding door that rolls or slides on a sill, a hinged door (door), a folding door, a sliding door, a window, a shutter device, or other manual or electric fitting device or opening and closing device. Furthermore, the above-mentioned frame material for a structure can also be used simply as a frame material for the inner edge of an opening, such as a gate-shaped frame that does not constitute an openable and closable fixture.

[0051] The structures on which the frame material for structures of the above-mentioned embodiments can be installed include wooden buildings, reinforced concrete buildings, vehicles, ships, airplanes, etc.
