Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In fittings, by disposing internal frame members such as muntins or vertical bars inside the frame, there are cases where a stepped window or a continuous window in which facing materials are disposed in different support forms inside one frame is configured. For example, in the case of a stepped window, by providing a muntin inside the frame, an opening window can be configured above the muntin, while a FIX window can be configured below the muntin.

[0005] In this type of fitting, a reference molded part having a common cross-sectional shape above and below the muntin is applied as the 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 muntin 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 make a corresponding arrangement 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 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 of a single window, both ends of the resin molded part are arranged close to the opening end surface of the metal molded part. 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 of a stepped window or a continuous window, 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 profile for a frame according to the present invention includes a resin molded part molded by resin, and a first metal molded part and a second metal molded part having a portion where the inner peripheral sides facing at least the facing material are the same outer shape when the resin molded part is attached. The profile for a frame is configured by attaching the resin molded part to the first metal molded part or the second metal molded part and caulking a caulked part. The first metal molded part is configured by connecting a reference molded part serving as a base and an attachment molded part attached to the reference molded part to each other. The second metal molded part is formed by integrally molding portions corresponding to the reference molded part and the attachment molded part. The resin molded part has a first caulked part caulked between the resin molded part and the attachment molded part, and a second caulked part caulked between the resin molded part and the second metal molded part. The first caulked part and the second caulked part 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 part and the resin molded part are applied as a vertical frame of a frame body, a middle frame member is connected in the middle of the reference molded part, the cross-sectional shapes of the attachment molded parts 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 part and the resin molded part are applied as a horizontal frame of a frame body, a middle frame member is connected in the middle of the reference molded part, the cross-sectional shapes of the attachment molded parts 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.

Advantages 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.

That is, it is possible to attach a resin frame portion 316 in which a resin frame body 316a, an outer insertion fin portion 316b, an inner insertion fin portion 316c, a mounting plate portion 316d, and an opposing protrusion portion 316e are integrally formed to the lower attachment forming portion 543.

[0061] (Configuration of the segment window) When the frame body 50 is constituted by the upper frame 51, the blank 52, the lower frame 53, and the left and right vertical frames 54 configured as described above, as shown in Fig. 13(a), the blank 52 is connected to the reference forming portion 541 in a state where the upper resin frame portion 523 and the lower resin frame portion 524 are pre-mounted on the metal frame portion 521 of the blank 52. When mounting the upper resin frame portion 523 on the metal frame portion 521, after inserting the upper insertion fin portion 523b into the upper resin frame insertion portion 521c, the upper resin frame insertion portion 521c can be caulked to connect it to the metal frame portion 521. At this time, since both ends of the upper resin frame portion 523 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the metal frame portion 521, it is possible to easily caulk by inserting caulking press devices from both ends of the metal frame portion 521, respectively. Similarly, when mounting the lower resin frame portion 524 on the metal frame portion 521, after inserting the inward insertion fin portion 524c into the lower resin frame insertion portion 521f, the lower resin frame insertion portion 521f can be caulked to connect it to the metal frame portion 521. At this time, since both ends of the lower resin frame portion 524 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the metal frame portion 521, it is possible to easily caulk by inserting caulking press devices from both ends of the metal frame portion 521, respectively.

[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 portion 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 portion 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. Then, 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 both ends of the upper attachment molding portion 542, respectively. 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 both ends of the lower attachment molding portion 543, respectively.

[0063] Finally, as shown in Fig. 13(c), with the resin frame part 512 pre-mounted on the metal frame part 511, the upper frame 51 is connected between the upper ends of the reference forming part 541, and with the resin frame part 532 pre-mounted on the metal frame part 531, the lower frame 53 is connected between the lower ends of the reference forming part 541, then the frame body 50 for the stepped window can be constituted. When mounting the resin frame part 512 on the metal frame part 511, the upper insertion fin part 212c is inserted into the upper insertion groove 211f, and after the upper cover protrusion 212e is inserted into the upper cover groove part 211e, the upper insertion groove 211f is caulked to connect it to the metal frame part 511. At this time, since both ends of the resin frame part 512 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the metal frame part 511, it can be easily caulked by inserting a caulking press device from both ends of the metal frame part 511 respectively. Similarly, when mounting the resin frame part 532 on the metal frame part 531, after the lower inner insertion fin part 314d is inserted into the lower resin frame insertion part 313d, the lower resin frame insertion part 313d is caulked to connect it to the metal frame part 531. At this time, since both ends of the resin frame part 532 are arranged at positions close to both ends of the metal frame part 531, it can be easily caulked by inserting a caulking press device from both ends of the metal frame part 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 applying the metal frame portion 215 and the stepped window applying the metal frame portion 540 including the reference molding portion 541 and the upper attachment molding portion 542.

[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 applying the metal frame portion 315 and the stepped window applying the metal frame portion 540 including the reference molding portion 541 and the lower attachment molding portion 543.

[0066] In addition, in the above-described Example 3, a stepped window provided with a blind 52 as a middle frame member is illustrated, but it can be similarly applied to a continuous window provided with a mullion as a middle frame member as in the modification shown in FIG. 14. That is, in the continuous window shown in FIG. 14, left and right vertical frames 61, 62, a mullion (middle frame member) 63, an upper frame (frame member) 64, and a lower frame (frame member) 65 are provided to form a frame body. The left and right vertical frames 61, 62 are each composed of a metal frame portion 604, 605 and resin frame portions 707, 708 attached to the inner peripheral side of the metal frame portions 604, 605. The mullion 63 is composed of a metal frame portion 603 and a left resin frame portion 705 and a right resin frame portion 706 attached to both sides of the metal frame portion 603. The upper frame 64 includes an upper reference forming portion 601 that is continuous on the left and right, an upper left attachment forming portion (attachment forming portion) 611 connected to the left side of the mullion 63 on the inner peripheral side of the upper reference forming portion 601, and an upper right attachment forming portion (attachment forming portion) 613 connected to the right side of the mullion 63 on the inner peripheral side of the upper reference forming portion 601, and a metal frame portion is formed. An upper left resin frame portion (resin forming portion) 701 is attached to a portion on the inner peripheral side of the upper left attachment forming portion 611, and an upper right resin frame portion (resin forming portion) 703 is attached to a portion on the inner peripheral side of the upper right attachment forming portion 613. Similarly, the lower frame 65 includes a lower reference forming portion 602 that is continuous on the left and right, a lower left attachment forming portion (attachment forming portion) 612 connected to the left side of the mullion 63 on the inner peripheral side of the lower reference forming portion 602, and a lower right attachment forming portion (attachment forming portion) 614 connected to the right side of the mullion 63 on the inner peripheral side of the lower reference forming portion 602, and a metal frame portion is formed. A lower left resin frame portion (resin forming portion) 702 is attached to a portion on the inner peripheral side of the lower left attachment forming portion 612, and a lower right resin frame portion (resin forming portion) 704 is attached to a portion on the inner peripheral side of the lower right attachment forming portion 614.

[0067] Even in this fitting, by applying a fitting having caulking portions for a continuous window and caulking portions for a single window as the upper left resin frame portion 701 and the upper right resin frame portion (resin molding portion) 703 attached to the upper frame 64, respectively, it becomes possible to share the resin frame portions 701 and 703 between the continuous window and the single window. Similarly, by applying a fitting having caulking portions for a continuous window and caulking portions for a single window as the lower left resin frame portion 702 and the lower right resin frame portion 704 attached to the lower frame 65, respectively, it becomes possible to share the resin frame portions 702 and 704 between the continuous window and the single window.

The frame profile is configured by attaching the resin molding portion to the first metal molding portion or the second metal molding portion and caulking a caulking portion. The first metal molding portion is configured by connecting a reference molding portion serving as a base and an attachment molding portion attached to the reference molding portion to each other. The second metal molding portion is formed by integrally molding portions corresponding to the reference molding portion and the attachment molding portion. The resin molding portion has a first caulking portion caulked between the attachment molding portion and a second caulking portion caulked between the second metal molding portion, and the first caulking portion and the second caulking portion are provided at different positions from each other. According to the present invention, the resin molding portion is provided with the first caulking portion and the second caulking portion. Therefore, with respect to the first metal molding portion, it is possible to make the state in which the resin molding portion is caulked to the attachment molding portion in advance via the first caulking portion, and it is also possible to attach the resin molding portion to the reference molding portion in a state where the middle frame profile is attached. On the other hand, with respect to the second metal molding portion, the resin molding portion can be caulked via the second caulking portion. As a result, it becomes possible to apply the same resin molding portion to a stepped window or a continuous window to which the first metal molding portion is applied and a single window to which the second metal molding portion is applied, and it becomes possible to achieve common use of parts.

[0069] Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-described frame profile, the first metal forming portion is provided with a first insertion portion into which the second caulking portion is inserted into the reference forming portion.
