Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] In a fitting, by disposing a middle frame profile such as a blind or a vertical member inside the frame, a stepped window or a continuous window in which facing materials are disposed in different support forms inside one frame may be configured. For example, in the case of a stepped window, by providing a blind inside the frame, an opening window can be configured above the blind, while a FIX window can be configured below the blind.
[0005] In this type of fitting, a reference molded part having a cross-sectional shape common to above and below the blind is applied as a metal molded part of the vertical frame, and attachment molded parts corresponding to the support forms of the respective facing materials are attached on the upper side and the lower side of the blind in the reference molded part. In such fittings, even when there are many types of support forms of the facing material, it is possible to cope with them using a common reference molded part by changing the attachment molded part to be applied.
[0006] Here, for fittings lined up in the same product series, it is desirable to share parts as much as possible. For this reason, even between a single window having only a facing material on the frame body and the above-described stepped window, it is preferable to share the resin molded part among those having the same support form of the facing material.
[0007] However, the attachment molded part and the resin molded part need to be attached to the reference molded part in a state where the joints are connected. For this reason, the resin molded part cannot be caulked to the reference molded part, and the actual situation is that it has not yet been realized. That is, when configuring the frame body of a single window, both ends of the resin molded part are arranged close to the opening end surfaces of the metal molded parts. Therefore, after inserting the caulking part of the resin frame part into the insertion part of the metal molded part, it is possible to easily caulk between the metal molded part and the resin molded part by inserting a caulking press device from both ends of the metal molded part. However, when configuring the frame bodies of stepped windows or continuous windows, since one end of the resin molded part is arranged at a position close to a middle frame member such as a joint or a vertical post, a caulking press device cannot be arranged for one end of this resin molded part, and it becomes difficult to caulk between the reference molded part and the resin molded part.
[0008] In view of the above situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a frame profile and a fitting in which a resin molded part applicable to a single window can also be applied to a stepped window or a continuous window.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the frame profile according to the present invention includes a resin molded portion molded by resin, and a first metal molded portion and a second metal molded portion having a portion where the inner peripheral sides facing at least the facing material have the same outer shape when the resin molded portion is attached. The frame profile is configured by attaching the resin molded portion to the first metal molded portion or the second metal molded portion and caulking a caulked portion. The first metal molded portion is configured by connecting a reference molded portion serving as a base and an attachment molded portion attached to the reference molded portion to each other. The second metal molded portion is formed by integrally molding portions corresponding to the reference molded portion and the attachment molded portion. The resin molded portion has a first caulked portion caulked between the resin molded portion and the attachment molded portion, and a second caulked portion caulked between the resin molded portion and the second metal molded portion, and the first caulked portion and the second caulked portion are provided at different positions from each other.
[0010] In addition, the fitting according to the present invention is such that the first metal molded portion and the resin molded portion are applied as a vertical frame of a frame body, a middle frame member is connected in the middle of the reference molded portion, the cross-sectional shapes of the attachment molded portions are different from each other on one side and the other side of the middle frame member, and the facing materials are arranged in different support forms above and below the middle frame member.
[0011] In addition, the fitting according to the present invention is such that the first metal molded portion and the resin molded portion are applied as a horizontal frame of a frame body, a middle frame member is connected in the middle of the reference molded portion, the cross-sectional shapes of the attachment molded portions are different from each other on one side and the other side of the middle frame member, and the facing materials are arranged in different support forms on the left and right of the middle frame member.
Effects of the Invention
[0012] According to the present invention, a first caulking portion and a second caulking portion are provided in the resin molding portion. Therefore, with respect to the first metal molding portion, the resin molding portion can be caulked to the attachment molding portion through the first caulking portion in advance, and the resin molding portion can also be attached to the reference molding portion with the middle frame member attached. On the other hand, with respect to the second metal molding portion, the resin molding portion can be caulked through the second caulking portion. As a result, the same resin molding portion can be applied to the stepped window or continuous window to which the first metal molding portion is applied and the single window to which the second metal molding portion is applied, and the sharing of parts can be achieved.

[0062] Next, as shown in FIG. 13(b), with the resin frame portion 216 pre-mounted, the upper attachment molding portion 542 is connected to the reference molding portion 541 at a position above the blind area 52, and with the resin frame portion 316 pre-mounted, the lower attachment molding portion 543 is connected to the reference molding portion 541 at a position below the blind area 52. When attaching the resin frame portion 216 to the upper attachment molding portion 542, the cover protrusion 216f is inserted into the lower cover groove portion 542f, the inward insertion fin portion 216c is inserted into the resin frame insertion portion 541d, and further, the outward insertion fin portion 216d is inserted into the upper cover insertion portion 542e. Thereafter, by caulking the upper cover insertion portion 542e, it can be connected to the upper attachment molding portion 542. At this time, since both ends of the resin frame portion 216 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the upper attachment molding portion 542, it can be easily caulked by inserting a caulking press device from each of both ends of the upper attachment molding portion 542. Similarly, when attaching the resin frame portion 316 to the lower attachment molding portion 543, the inward insertion fin portion 316c is inserted into the resin frame insertion portion 541d, and after the outward insertion fin portion 316b is inserted into the resin frame insertion portion 543f, it can be connected to the lower attachment molding portion 543 by caulking the resin frame insertion portion 543f. At this time, since both ends of the resin frame portion 316 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the lower attachment molding portion 543, it can be easily caulked by inserting a caulking press device from each of both ends of the lower attachment molding portion 543.
[0063] Finally, as shown in FIG. 13(c), with the resin frame portion 512 pre-mounted on the metal frame portion 511, the upper frame 51 is connected between the upper ends of the reference molding portion 541, and with the resin frame portion 532 pre-mounted on the metal frame portion 531, the lower frame 53 is connected between the lower ends of the reference molding portion 541, then the frame body 50 for the stepped window can be formed. When mounting the resin frame portion 512 on the metal frame portion 511, the upper insertion fin portion 212c is inserted into the upper insertion groove 211f, and after the upper cover protrusion 212e is inserted into the upper cover groove portion 211e, the upper insertion groove 211f is caulked to connect it to the metal frame portion 511. At this time, since both ends of the resin frame portion 512 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the metal frame portion 511, it can be easily caulked by inserting a caulking press device from both ends of the metal frame portion 511 respectively. Similarly, when mounting the resin frame portion 532 on the metal frame portion 531, after the lower inner insertion fin portion 314d is inserted into the lower resin frame insertion portion 313d, the lower resin frame insertion portion 313d is caulked to connect it to the metal frame portion 531. At this time, since both ends of the resin frame portion 532 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the metal frame portion 531, it can be easily caulked by inserting a caulking press device from both ends of the metal frame portion 531 respectively.
[0064] As described above, the resin frame portion 216 attached to the vertical frame 13 of the single-window vertical sliding window is applied with two caulking portions, namely, the inner insertion fin portion 216c and the outer insertion fin portion 216d. Therefore, for the vertical frame 13 of the single-window vertical sliding window, the resin frame portion 216 can be connected to the metal frame portion 215 by inserting the inner insertion fin portion 216c into the resin frame insertion portion 215e and caulking. On the other hand, in the case of a stepped window provided with a vertical sliding window, the resin frame portion 216 can be attached to the upper attachment molding portion 542 by inserting the outer insertion fin portion 216d into the upper cover insertion portion 542e and caulking in advance, and in this state, the upper attachment molding portion 542 can be connected to the reference molding portion 541. Therefore, it is possible to share the resin frame portion 216 between the single-window vertical sliding window to which the metal frame portion 215 is applied and the stepped window to which the metal frame portion 540 including the reference molding portion 541 and the upper attachment molding portion 542 is applied.
[0065] Similarly, as described above, the resin frame portion 316 attached to the vertical frame 33 of the single-window FIX window is applied with two caulking portions, namely, the outer insertion fin portion 316b and the inner insertion fin portion 316c. Therefore, for the vertical frame 33 of the single-window FIX window, the resin frame portion 316 can be connected to the metal frame portion 315 by inserting the inner insertion fin portion 316c into the inner upper resin frame insertion portion 315c and caulking. On the other hand, in the case of a stepped window provided with a FIX window, the resin frame portion 316 can be attached to the lower attachment molding portion 543 by inserting the outer insertion fin portion 316b into the resin frame insertion portion 543f and caulking in advance, and in this state, the lower attachment molding portion 543 can be connected to the reference molding portion 541. Therefore, it is possible to share the resin frame portion 316 between the single-window FIX window to which the metal frame portion 315 is applied and the stepped window to which the metal frame portion 540 including the reference molding portion 541 and the lower attachment molding portion 543 is applied.
