Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Both the FIX window and the movable window of Patent Document 1 are configured to hold the indoor side surface of the glass with a pressing edge. In this configuration, the pressing edges of the FIX window and the movable window are each dedicated parts and have different cross-sectional shapes from each other. For this reason, the unity of the internal appearance design of the windows arranged side by side left and right is impaired. Since the pressing edge is a dedicated part for each window, the parts cost is high. Also, for example, when the width dimensions of the FIX window and the movable window are substantially the same, there is a possibility of misattaching the pressing edges of each window, and the working efficiency is low.

[0005] Such problems can occur not only in continuous windows in which FIX windows and movable windows are arranged side by side left and right, but also in stepped windows arranged up and down. Furthermore, such problems can similarly occur in, for example, a product lineup (group of fittings) in which FIX windows and movable windows are individual fittings.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a group of fittings, a stepped window or a continuous window that can achieve both improvement in designability and reduction in product cost, and further improve working efficiency.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] The fitting group, stepped window or continuous window according to one aspect of the present invention includes a FIX window including a first frame body and a first facing material supported by the first frame body, and a second frame body and a frame body supporting a second facing material, and a movable window including a shoji supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the second frame body, wherein the FIX window is provided on the first frame body, and includes a first opening groove in which an edge portion of the first facing material is disposed, a first pressing edge attached to the indoor side of the first opening groove in the first frame body and pressing the indoor side surface of the first facing material, a first engaged portion provided on the indoor side of the first opening groove in the first frame body and engaged with the first pressing edge, and a first finding piece provided on the outdoor side of the first opening groove in the first frame body and pressing the outdoor side surface of the first facing material, and the movable window is provided on the frame body, and includes a second opening groove in which an edge portion of the second facing material is disposed, a second pressing edge attached to the indoor side of the second opening groove in the frame body and pressing the indoor side surface of the second facing material, a second engaged portion provided on the indoor side of the second opening groove in the frame body and engaged with the second pressing edge, and a second finding piece provided on the outdoor side of the second opening groove in the frame body and pressing the outdoor side surface of the second facing material, the first pressing edge and the second pressing edge have the same cross-sectional shape, and the distance from the first engaged portion to the end of the first finding piece when based on the inside-outside direction of the frame of the first frame body is the same as the distance from the second engaged portion to the end of the second finding piece when based on the inside-outside direction of the frame of the frame body.

[0010] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the fitting group, stepped window or continuous window according to the present invention will be given and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the fitting group 10 according to one embodiment includes FIX windows 10A, stepped windows 10B, and movable windows 10C, which are three types of fittings. The fitting group 10 only needs to include two or more fittings, and the types of fittings included are not limited. The fitting group 10 may be composed of, for example, FIX windows 10A and movable windows 10C. The fitting group 10 may be composed of, for example, two FIX windows 10A with different dimensions and a stepped window 10B. The stepped window 10B may be changed to a continuous window 10D (see FIG. 9) described later, and the fitting group 10 may also include the stepped window 10B and the continuous window 10D. The windows 10A to 10D are installed on the outer walls of buildings or houses, for example.

[0012] First, the FIX window 10A will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the FIX window 10A includes a frame body (first frame body) 12 fixed to the opening of the building body, and a face material (first face material) 14 fixed inside the frame body 12.

[0014] The frame body 12 forms a rectangular opening inside by forming a four-sided frame with an upper frame 12a, a lower frame 12b, and left and right vertical frames 12c, 12d.

[0015] In the present application, the prospective direction refers to the indoor-outdoor direction of each of the windows 10A to 10D, that is, the direction from the indoor side to the outdoor side or the reverse direction (the direction indicated by the arrow Z in the figure), and the prospective surface refers to the surface extending along the prospective direction. The finding direction is the direction orthogonal to the prospective direction. In the case of a vertically long vertical frame 12c or the like, it refers to the left-right direction (the direction indicated by the arrow X in the figure) orthogonal to its longitudinal direction. In the case of a horizontally long upper frame 12a or the like, it refers to the up-down direction (the direction indicated by the arrow Y in the figure) orthogonal to its longitudinal direction. The finding surface refers to the surface along the finding direction. The inside of the frame refers to the inner part of the frame body 12 or the frame body 91 or the like which is a frame-shaped member.

The metal pressing edge 44a has an engaging portion 47 on the outside of the bent portion from the base portion 45 to the leg portion 46. The engaging portion 47 is, for example, a substantially C-shaped groove that opens facing the outside of the bent portion.

[0033] The resin pressing edge 44b has a substantially flagpole-shaped cross-sectional shape as a whole. The resin pressing edge 44b has a pair of engaging pieces 48 on the outdoor side surfaces of two hollow portions arranged in the frame inside-outside direction. The resin pressing edge 44b is connected to the base portion 45 of the metal pressing edge 44a by the engaging piece 48. The outdoor side end portion of the resin pressing edge 44b encloses the tip of the base portion 45.

[0034] The vertical frames 12c and 12d protrude from the bottom surface (prospective surface 35) of the opening groove 39 and have a bent piece 49 that bends inward. The pressing edge 44 is attached to the vertical frames 12c and 12d by the tip of the leg portion 46 being locked to the bent piece 49 and the engaging portion 47 being engaged with the engaged portion 36. Furthermore, the pressing edge 44 has a protruding portion 50 that protrudes from the indoor side end portion of the resin pressing edge 44b to the outside of the frame. The pressing edge 44 is more securely connected to the vertical frames 12c and 12d without rattling by the protruding portion 50 being engaged with the claw portion 40.

[0035] With the above configuration, in the FIX window 10A, the facing material 14 is supported by the frame body 12. The FIX window 10A is configured to press the indoor side surfaces of the left and right side edges of the facing material 14 with the pressing edge 44 attached to the indoor side of the opening groove 39 of the vertical frames 12c and 12d.

[0036] Next, the stepped window 10B will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4 to 7.

[0037] In the stepped window 10B shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 to 7, the reference numerals identical to those of the respective components of the FIX window 10A shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 denote the same or similar components.

[0059] The frames 91a to 91d have a stepped portion 92a near the center of the prospective surface 92. The stepped portions 92a of the upper and lower frames 91a and 91b recess the substantially central portion of the prospective surface 92 in the indoor-outdoor direction toward the outside of the frame, and change the height in the frame inside-outside direction between the indoor side and the outdoor side of this recessed portion. The stepped portions 92a of the vertical frames 91c and 91d offset the portion closer to the indoor side of the prospective surface 92 more inward of the frame than the portion closer to the outdoor side. An engaged portion 36 is formed at the inner end of the frame of the stepped portion 92a.

[0060] The engaged portions (second engaged portions) 36 of the frames 91a to 91d are engaged with the engaging portion 47 of the pressing edge 44 in the same manner as the engaged portions 36 of the vertical frames 12c and 12d shown in FIG. 3. The frames 91a to 91d are formed with an opening groove (second opening groove) 94 opening to the inside of the frame between the engaged portion 36, the pressing edge 44 engaged therewith, and the finding piece 93. The frames 91a to 91d have a bent piece 49 protruding from the bottom surface (prospective surface 92) of the opening groove 94 and bent toward the indoor side. The frames 91a to 91d have claw portions 40 on the inner side of the indoor side end.

[0061] The frames 91a to 91d are extruded profiles of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy. In this embodiment, the upper and lower frames 91a and 91b have a vertically symmetric structure except that the shapes of the prospective surfaces on the outer side of the frame are slightly different. The vertical frames 91c and 91d have a horizontally symmetric structure. The frames 91a to 91d may each have a different cross-sectional shape, or all of the frames 91a to 91d may have the same cross-sectional shape.

[0062] The pressing edge 44 is attached to the indoor side of the opening groove 94 of each of the frames 91a to 91d, and presses the indoor side surface of the facing material 90 via, for example, a backup material 42a and a sealing material 42b. The movable window 52 has an inner pressing edge structure in which the pressing edge 44 is attached to the frame body 91 from the indoor side and supports the indoor side surface of the facing material 90.

[0063] The pressing edge 44 attached to the frames 91a to 91d has the same cross-sectional shape as the pressing edge 44 of the FIX window 10A described above. Therefore, the attachment structure of the pressing edge 44 in the frames 91a to 91d is the same as the attachment structure of the pressing edge 44 in the vertical frames 12c and 12d shown in FIG. 3. That is, the pressing edge 44 is attached to the frames 91a to 91d by the tip of the leg portion 46 of the metal pressing edge 44a being locked to the bent piece 49 and the engaging portion 47 being engaged with the engaged portion 36. Further, the pressing edge 44 is more reliably and firmly connected to the frames 91a to 91d by the protruding portion 50 of the resin pressing edge 44b being engaged with the claw portion 40.

[0064] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the shoji 64 is rotatably connected to the frame body 62 via upper and lower friction stays 96. The upper friction stay 96 connects the prospective surface 73 of the upper frame 62a and the prospective surface on the outer side of the upper frame 91a. The lower friction stay 96 connects the prospective surface 80 of the lower frame 62b and the prospective surface on the outer side of the lower frame 91b. The shoji 64 rotates so that the vertical frame 91d on the door tip side moves to the outdoor side.

[0065] As shown in Fig. 6, a Gremon lock 97 is provided between the vertical frame 62d on the door end side and the vertical frame 91d. The Gremon lock 97 is provided between the prospective surface 84 of the vertical frame 62d and the prospective surface outside the frame of the vertical frame 91d. The reference sign 97a in Fig. 6 is the operation handle of the Gremon lock 97 (see also Fig. 1). A shoji pulling device 98 is provided between the vertical frame 62c on the suspension end side and the vertical frame 91c. The shoji pulling device 98 is a device that pulls the shoji 64 to the fully closed position when the shoji 64 is closed. The shoji pulling device 98 is provided between the prospective surface 84 of the vertical frame 62c and the prospective surface outside the frame of the vertical frame 91c.

[0066] Next, the FIX window 54 will be described.

[0067] As shown in Figs. 4 and 7, the FIX window 54 includes an upper frame 100 and vertical frames 101, 102 that are different in configuration from the upper frame 12a and vertical frames 12c, 12d of the FIX window 10A shown in Figs. 1 to 3. The overall configuration of the FIX window 54 other than these frames 100 to 102 can be the same as or similar to that of the FIX window 10A.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 4, the upper frame 100 includes a metal upper frame 18a formed of a part of the metal patternless part 56a of the patternless part 56, and a resin upper frame 19a that covers the indoor side surface of the metal upper frame 18a. That is, the upper frame 100 of the FIX window 54 uses a part of the patternless part 56 as the metal upper frame 18a.

[0069] As shown in Fig. 7, outer frames 58, 59 are connected to the outside of the vertical frames 101, 102. One vertical frame 101 has a cross-sectional shape that is substantially the same as that of the vertical frame 12c shown in Fig. 3 for the entire connecting member connecting the metal vertical frame 18c and the outer frame 58. The other vertical frame 102 has a cross-sectional shape that is substantially the same as that of the vertical frame 12d shown in Fig. 3 for the entire connecting member connecting the metal vertical frame 18d and the outer frame 59. Therefore, the metal vertical frames 18c, 18d of the vertical frames 101, 102 have a cross-sectional shape that is like a part of the metal vertical frames 18c, 18d of the vertical frames 12c, 12d shown in Fig. 3 being divided.

[0070] The outer frame 58 is provided such that its outdoor-side end covers the outdoor-side finding surface of the metal vertical frame 18c of the vertical frame 101, and its indoor-side end is connected to the engaging portion 34b of the resin vertical frame 19c. The connecting piece 87 of the metal vertical frame 18c is abutted against the prospective surface inside the frame of the outer frame 58 and screwed with the waterstop 87a interposed therebetween. Thus, the vertical frame 100 is connected to the outer frame 58. The hollow portion 38 of the vertical frame 101 is formed by the metal vertical frame 18c and the outer frame 58.

[0071] The connection structure between the vertical frame 102 and the outer frame 59 can be a structure symmetric to the left and right with the connection structure between the vertical frame 101 and the outer frame 58. That is, the outer frame 59 covers the outdoor-side finding surface of the vertical frame 102 and is connected to the engaging portion 34b of the resin vertical frame 19d, and the connecting piece 87 of the metal vertical frame 18d is screwed. The hollow portion 38 of the vertical frame 102 is also formed by the metal vertical frame 18d and the outer frame 59.

[0072] With the above configuration, the stepped window 10B integrally connects the FIX window 54 under the movable window 52. The movable window 52 is configured to press the indoor-side surface of the four peripheral edges of the facing material 90 with the pressing edge 44 attached to the indoor side of the opening grooves 94 of the upper frame 91a, the lower frame 91b, and the vertical frames 91c, 91d. The FIX window 54 is configured to press the indoor-side surface of the left and right side edges of the facing material 14 with the pressing edge 44 attached to the indoor side of the opening grooves 39 of the vertical frames 101, 102.

[0073] Next, the movable window 10C will be described.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 1, the movable window 10C is configured by changing the configuration of the lower frame 62b and the vertical frames 62c, 62d of the movable window 52 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example.

[0075] The lower frame 62b of the movable window 10C is not part of the blind 56, but is a separate lower frame similar to the lower frame 12b of the FIX window 10A shown in FIG. 2. For example, the lower frame 62b of the movable window 10C is provided with an anchor attachment portion similar to the anchor attachment portion 26 of the lower frame 12b shown in FIG. 2. The vertical frame 62c of the movable window 10C is not a connecting structure of the outer frame 58, but is a separate vertical frame using a profile having a cross-sectional shape in which the metal vertical frame 68c of the vertical frame 62c of the movable window 52 shown in FIG. 6 is integrally formed with the outer frame 58. Similarly, the vertical frame 62d of the movable window 10C is not a connecting structure of the outer frame 59, but is a separate vertical frame using a profile having a cross-sectional shape in which the metal vertical frame 68d of the vertical frame 62d shown in FIG. 6 is integrally formed with the outer frame 59.

[0076] With the above configuration, the movable window 10C also has a configuration in which the inner surface of the four peripheral edges of the facing material 90 is pressed by the pressing edge 44 attached to the indoor side of the opening grooves 94 of the upper frame 91a, the lower frame 91b, and the vertical frames 91c and 91d.

[0077] Next, the operation and effect of the fitting group 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8C.

[0078] FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view of the pressing edge 44 attached to the vertical frame 12c of the FIX window 10A and its peripheral portion. The configuration of the pressing edge 44 attached to the vertical frame 101 of the FIX window 54 of the stepped window 10B and its peripheral portion is the same as or similar to the configuration shown in FIG. 8A except that the outer frame 58 is connected. The configuration of the pressing edge 44 attached to the vertical frames 12d and 102 of the FIX windows 10A and 54 and its peripheral portion is the same as or similar to the configuration shown in FIG. 8A except that it has a left-right symmetric structure.

[0079] FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view of the pressing edge 44 attached to the vertical frame 91c of the movable window 52 of the stepped window 10B and its peripheral portion. The configuration of the pressing edge 44 attached to the vertical frame 91c of the movable window 10C and its peripheral portion is also the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 8B. The configuration of the pressing edge 44 attached to the vertical frames 91d of the movable windows 52 and 10C and its peripheral portion is the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 8B except that it has a left-right symmetric structure.

[0080] FIG. 8C is a cross-sectional view of the edge pressing member 44 attached to the upper and lower frames 91a and 91b of the movable window 52 of the step window 10B and its peripheral part. The configuration of the edge pressing member 44 attached to the upper and lower frames 91a and 91b of the movable window 10C and its peripheral part is also the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 8C.

[0081] As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the fitting group 10 of the present embodiment includes the FIX windows 10A and 54 and the movable windows 52 and 10C, which are provided with an edge pressing member 44 having the same cross-sectional shape. Specifically, the FIX window 10A (54) is provided with an edge pressing member 44 on the indoor side of the opening groove 39 of the vertical frames 12c (101) and 12d (102). The movable window 52 (10C) is provided with an edge pressing member 44 on the indoor side of the opening groove 94 of the frames 91a to 91d. The edge pressing members 44 of the FIX window 10A and the movable window 52 etc. will be exactly the same if the lengths of the vertical frames 12c, 12d, 101, 102 and the frames 91a to 91d to which they are to be attached are the same, and will be used in lengths corresponding thereto if the lengths are different.

[0082] Therefore, the fitting group 10 is configured with edge pressing members 44 having the same shape for the interior designs of the FIX windows 10A and 54 and the movable windows 52 and 10C. For this reason, the fitting group 10 obtains unity in the interior designs of the FIX window 10A and the movable window 52 etc., improving the design quality, and can reduce the parts cost by the common use of the edge pressing member 44 which is a profile. Furthermore, since the fitting group 10 has made the cross-sectional shapes of the edge pressing members 44 of the FIX window 10A and the movable window 52 etc. common, even when using the edge pressing member 44 of the same length for different window types, the misattachment of parts is avoided and the working efficiency is improved.

[0083] The effects of improving the design quality, reducing the cost, and improving the working efficiency by such common use of the edge pressing member 44 are not limited to the case of applying to the individual fittings that make up the fitting group 10, namely the windows 10A to 10C. For example, in the step window 10B, by making the edge pressing members 44 of the frames 91a to 91d of the movable window 52 and the edge pressing members 44 of the vertical frames 101 and 102 of the FIX window 54 common, the same effects as in the case of the fitting group 10 described above can be obtained. That is, for the edge pressing member 44 of the present embodiment, those having the same cross-sectional shape may be used for the movable window 52 and the FIX window 54 included in one fitting (step window 10B).

[0084] As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the fixture group 10 and the stepped window 10B can have a common configuration for making the pressing edge 44 having the same cross-sectional shape as described above usable for the FIX window 10A, the movable window 52, and the like.

[0085] That is, in the case of this embodiment, the vertical frames 12c (101), 12d (102) and the frames 91a to 91d all have the same distance L in the frame inner and outer direction from the engaged portion 36 for engaging the engaging portion 47 of the pressing edge 44 to the end portions (inner peripheral surfaces) 104 of the finding pieces 37, 93. Then, even for the FIX window 10A and the movable window 52 and the like having different window types, the height (groove depth) in the frame inner and outer direction of the opening grooves 39, 94 where the edge portions of the facing materials 14, 90 are arranged is the same. And the height from the engaged portion 36 of the expected surface 105 inside the frame of each pressing edge 44 having the same cross-sectional shape is also the same distance L (see FIGS. 8A to 8C). As a result, the height (groove depth) in the frame inner and outer direction of each opening groove 39, 94 can be made uniform on both the indoor and outdoor sides of the facing materials 14, 90. As a result, even when the fixture group 10 (stepped window 10B) uses the pressing edge 44 having the same cross-sectional shape for the FIX window 10A, the movable window 52, and the like, the embedding depth of the edge portions of the facing materials 14, 90 in the opening grooves 39, 94 is ensured to be a predetermined distance, and stable support of the facing materials 14, 90 becomes possible. That is, even when using the pressing edge 44 having the same cross-sectional shape for the FIX window 10A, the movable window 52, and the like, there is no obstacle to the support of the facing materials 14, 90.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 9, the stepped window 10B with the movable window 52 and the FIX window 54 arranged vertically can also be changed to a continuous window 10D with the movable window 52 and the FIX window 10A arranged horizontally.

[0087] The continuous window 10D has a configuration in which, for example, the vertical frame 62d and the outer frame 59 of the movable window 52 and the vertical frame 12c of the FIX window 10A are connected by a vertical post 106. The vertical post 106 is an extruded profile of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy and extends along the vertical direction. The vertical post 106 connects the movable window 52 and the FIX window 10A by being connected to the anchor mounting portion 32 of the outer frame 5 and the anchor mounting portion 32 of the vertical frame 12c, respectively. The reference numeral 108 in FIG. 9 is a resin cover that covers the indoor side surface of the vertical post 106.

[0088] Even in the case of the continuous window 10D, by making the pressing edges 44 of the frames 91a to 91d of the movable window 52 and the pressing edges 44 of the vertical frames 12c and 12d of the FIX window 10A common, effects such as improvement in design, cost reduction, and improvement in work efficiency can be obtained as in the case of the above-described fitting group 10 and the stepped window 10B. Note that the stepped window 10B and the continuous window 10D may be connected to each other to constitute a part of a continuous stepped window in which windows are arranged vertically and horizontally.

[0089] In particular, for the fitting group 10, the stepped window 10B, and the continuous window 10D of the present embodiment, pressing edges 44 are respectively attached to the vertical frames 12c, 12d, 101, and 102 of the FIX windows 10A and 54, and pressing edges 44 are respectively attached to the frames 91a to 91d of the movable windows 52 and 10D. For this reason, in the fitting group 10, the stepped window 10B, and the continuous window 10D, many of the pressing edges 44 that hold the facing materials 14 and 90 with the FIX windows 10A and 54 and the movable windows 52 and 10D can be made common, the design is further improved, and the component cost can be further reduced.

[0090] The FIX windows 10A and 54 are provided with hollow portions 38 on the outside of the frames of the opening grooves 39 of the metal vertical frames 18c and 18d. The hollow portion 38 of the FIX window 54 is formed in a connecting frame member that connects the metal vertical frames 18c and 18d and the metal outer frames 58 and 59. However, also in the case of the FIX window 54, the connecting frame member between the metal vertical frames 18c and 18d and the outer frames 58 and 59 substantially constitutes the metal vertical frames of the vertical frames 101 and 102, and the hollow portion 38 is formed in this metal vertical frame. Thereby, the FIX windows 10A and 54 can easily align the groove depth of the opening groove 39 with the groove depth of the movable window 54 (10D), and the pressing edge 44 for the frame 91 of the movable window 54 (10D) having generally short legs 46 can be smoothly used for the frame body 12 of the FIX windows 10A and 54. Further, since the hollow portion 38 is provided in the outdoor-side metal vertical frame, there is also an advantage that the strength and the wind pressure resistance performance of the FIX windows 10A and 54 are improved.

[0091] As described above, the fixture group, stepped window or continuous window according to one aspect of the present invention includes a FIX window including a first frame body and a first face material supported by the first frame body, and a movable window including a second frame body and a shutter having a frame body that supports a second face material and is supported by the second frame body so as to be openable and closable. The FIX window includes a first opening groove provided in the first frame body and in which an edge portion of the first face material is disposed, a first pressing edge attached to the indoor side of the first opening groove in the first frame body and pressing the indoor side surface of the first face material, a first engaged portion provided on the indoor side of the first opening groove in the first frame body and engaged with the first pressing edge, and a first finding piece provided on the outdoor side of the first opening groove in the first frame body and pressing the outdoor side surface of the first face material. The movable window includes a second opening groove provided in the frame body and in which an edge portion of the second face material is disposed, a second pressing edge attached to the indoor side of the second opening groove in the frame body and pressing the indoor side surface of the second face material, a second engaged portion provided on the indoor side of the second opening groove in the frame body and engaged with the second pressing edge, and a second finding piece provided on the outdoor side of the second opening groove in the frame body and pressing the outdoor side surface of the second face material. The first pressing edge and the second pressing edge have the same cross-sectional shape, and the distance from the first engaged portion to the end of the first finding piece with respect to the frame inner and outer direction of the first frame body is the same as the distance from the second engaged portion to the end of the second finding piece with respect to the frame inner and outer direction of the frame body. According to such a configuration, since the distance from the first engaged portion to the end of the first finding piece of the first frame body of the FIX window is the same as the distance from the second engaged portion to the end of the second finding piece of the frame body of the movable window, pressing edges having the same cross-sectional shape can be used for the FIX window and the movable window. By using such pressing edges, unity is obtained in the internal appearance design of the FIX window and the movable window, improving the design property and reducing the component cost. Further, misattachment of the pressing edges for each window type is avoided, improving the work efficiency.

[0092] The first frame body has an upper frame, a lower frame, and a pair of vertical frames. The sash body has an upper sash, a lower sash, and a pair of vertical sashes. The first pressing edge may be attached to each of the pair of vertical frames, and the second pressing edge may be attached to the upper sash, the lower sash, and each of the pair of vertical sashes, respectively. In this way, many of the pressing edges for pressing the facing material in the FIX window and the movable window can be made common, the design property can be further improved, and the component cost can be further reduced.

[0093] Each of the pair of vertical frames has a metal vertical frame provided with the first opening groove and a resin vertical frame provided on the indoor side of the metal vertical frame. The metal vertical frame may have a hollow portion outside the frame of the first opening groove. In this way, the depth of the opening groove of the FIX window can be easily made the same as the groove depth of the movable window, and the pressing edge for the sash body of the movable window, which generally has short legs, can be smoothly used for the frame body of the FIX window. Moreover, since the hollow portion is provided in the outdoor-side metal vertical frame, the strength and the wind pressure resistance performance of the FIX window are improved.

[0094] The first frame body and the second frame body each have a metal frame material and a resin frame material provided on the indoor side of the metal frame material. The first pressing edge and the second pressing edge may each have a metal pressing edge and a resin pressing edge provided on the indoor side of the metal pressing edge. In this way, the heat insulation performance of the FIX window and the movable window is improved.

[0095] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that it can be freely changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
