An indoor connecting portion 263 with an opening on the outdoor side is provided at the outdoor-side end of the bottom surface portion 261. An engaging piece 264 extending downward and a protrusion 265 protruding upward are provided at the center of the bottom surface portion 261 in the Z-axis direction. An engaging claw portion 264A is provided at the lower end of the engaging piece 264. The portion between the metal frame member fixing portion 262 and the protrusion 265 on the bottom surface portion 261 constitutes a plate-shaped upper frame connecting portion 266.

[0016] The heat insulating material 27 is provided so that a part of it is located inside the outdoor connecting portion 252 and the indoor connecting portion 263, thereby connecting the outdoor upper profile 25 and the indoor upper profile 26.

[0017] The cylindrical portion 241 of the resin upper frame member 24 has a hollow portion along the X-axis direction, and includes a bottom surface portion 241A along the Z-axis direction, an indoor finding surface portion 241B that extends upward from the indoor-side end of the bottom surface portion 241A, an indoor upper surface portion 241C that extends outward from the upper end of the indoor finding surface portion 241B, an intermediate finding surface portion 241D that extends downward from the outdoor-side end of the indoor upper surface portion 241C, an outdoor upper surface portion 241E that extends outward from the lower end of the intermediate finding surface portion 241D, and an outdoor finding surface portion 241F that extends downward from the outdoor-side end of the outdoor upper surface portion 241E and is connected to the outdoor-side end of the bottom surface portion 241A. A cutout portion 244 indicated by hatching (diagonal lines) in FIG. 3 is provided in the portion of the cylindrical portion 241 where the reinforcing member 5 is disposed. The cutout portion 244 is formed by removing only a part of the indoor upper surface portion 241C, the intermediate finding surface portion 241D, and the outdoor upper surface portion 241E in the X-axis direction, and leaving the remaining portions. The tight material mounting portion 242 of the resin upper frame member 24 includes a mounting lower portion 242A that extends outward from the outdoor-side end of the bottom surface portion 241A of the cylindrical portion 241 and then bends upward, the outdoor finding surface portion 241F, an upper bottom portion 242B that extends upward from the upper end of the outdoor finding surface portion 241F, and a mounting upper portion 242C that extends outward from the upper end of the upper bottom portion 242B and then bends downward, and is configured such that the indoor side is open. A tight material 11 is mounted in the opening of the tight material mounting portion 242. An engaging protrusion 245 that protrudes inward and engages with the engaging claw portion 264A of the engaging piece 264 is provided on the upper bottom portion 242B. The resin upper frame member 24 includes a resin frame member fixing portion 243 provided so as to extend upward from the upper end of the indoor finding surface portion 241B of the cylindrical portion 241. A hook portion 243A that protrudes outward is provided at the upper end of the resin frame member fixing portion 243. The resin upper frame member 24 is attached to the indoor upper-shaped member 26 so as to cover the indoor-side surface and the lower surface of the indoor upper-shaped member 26 by engaging the engaging protrusion 245 with the engaging claw portion 264A of the indoor upper-shaped member 26 and screwing a screw 13 inserted through the resin frame member fixing portion 243 into the metal frame member fixing portion 262 of the indoor upper-shaped member 26.

[0018] The back plate 4 is formed by bending a metal plate. The back plate 4 includes a back plate fixing portion 41 along the Z-axis direction, a first intermediate portion 42 extending from the lower end of the back plate fixing portion 41 toward the indoor side, a second intermediate portion 43 extending downward from the indoor-side end of the first intermediate portion 42, and a back plate connecting portion 44 extending from the lower end of the second intermediate portion 43 toward the outdoor side. The back plate 4 is fixed to the outdoor upper profile 25 by a screw 14 inserted through the screw insertion hole 411 of the back plate fixing portion 41 and screwed into the female screw portion 253A of the back plate mounting portion 253, so that no gap is formed between the back plate connecting portion 44 and the upper frame connecting portion 266 with the airtight material 7 sandwiched therebetween. As shown in FIG. 2, the airtight material 7 has a certain thickness, but it becomes thinner when sandwiched between the back plate connecting portion 44 and the upper frame connecting portion 266, so it is not shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.

[0019] The reinforcing member 5 is attached to the side of the hanging vertical frame in the upper frame 21. The reinforcing member 5 is formed by bending a metal plate. As shown in FIGS. 4(A) to 4(C), it has a rectangular plate-shaped lower contact portion 51 whose longitudinal direction is parallel to the X-axis direction and whose short-side direction is parallel to the Z-axis direction, a pair of upper contact portions 52 extending upward along the Y-axis direction from both side edges in the short-side direction of the lower contact portion 51, a pair of connecting portions 53 extending upward along the Y-axis direction from both side edges in the longitudinal direction of the lower contact portion 51, and a pair of reinforcing member fixing portions 54 extending away from each other along the X-axis direction from the upper ends of the respective connecting portions 53. With such a configuration, the reinforcing member 5 can be easily manufactured, and the weight of the reinforcing member 5 can also be reduced. Four screw insertion holes 511 arranged in the X-axis direction are formed in the lower contact portion 51. One screw insertion hole 541 is formed in each reinforcing member fixing portion 54. The reinforcing member 5 is fixed to the indoor upper profile 26 by a screw 15 inserted through the screw insertion hole 541 and screwed into the female screw portion 266A of the upper frame connecting portion 266, so that the upper end surface of the upper contact portion 52 is in surface contact with the lower surface of the upper frame connecting portion 266 and the lower surface of the lower contact portion 51 is in surface contact with the upper surface of the bottom portion 241A within the cylindrical portion 241 of the resin upper frame member 24. Thus, since the lower surface, which is the main surface of the plate-shaped lower contact portion 51, is in surface contact with the upper surface (inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 241) of the bottom surface portion 241A, the contact area between the lower contact portion 51 and the cylindrical portion 241 can be increased, and deformation of the cylindrical portion 241 can be suppressed.

[0020] The door closer 6 is fixed to the back plate 4 in a state where the bracket 623 is in surface contact with the lower surface of the resin upper frame member 24 by screws 16 inserted through the screw insertion holes 623A of the bracket 623, the screw insertion holes 241G of the resin upper frame member 24, the screw insertion holes 511 of the reinforcing member 5, and the screw insertion holes 266B of the upper frame connecting portion 266 and screwed into the female screw portion 441 of the back plate connecting portion 44.

[0021] Next, a method for connecting the door closer 6 to the upper frame 21 of the door frame 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, prepare a back plate 4, a reinforcing member 5, a door closer 6, an airtight material 7, screws 13, 14, 15, 16, a resin upper frame member 24, and an outdoor upper profile member 25. Next, as shown by the two-dot chain line, with the airtight material 7 sandwiched between the back plate connecting portion 44 and the upper frame connecting portion 266, the back plate 4 is fixed to the outdoor upper profile member 25 with a plurality of screws 14. By providing the airtight material 7 in this way, it is possible to suppress the entry of outside air into the room through the screw insertion hole 266B of the upper frame connecting portion 266 and the female screw portion 441 of the back plate connecting portion 44. After that, the reinforcing member 5 is fixed to the indoor upper profile member 26 with two screws 15. In this way, by fixing the reinforcing member 5 to the indoor upper profile member 26, the subsequent work can be carried out by releasing the hand from the reinforcing member 5, and the workability is improved. Next, the reinforcing member 5 is disposed in the cylindrical portion 241 through the cutout portion 244, the engaging protrusion portion 245 is engaged with the engaging claw portion 264A of the outdoor upper profile member 25, and the hooking portion 243A is hooked on the upper end of the metal frame member fixing portion 262, whereby the resin upper frame member 24 is temporarily fixed to the outdoor upper profile member 25. Then, the resin upper frame member 24 is fixedly secured to the outdoor upper profile member 25 with a plurality of screws 13. Finally, the door closer 6 is fixed to the back plate 4 with a plurality of screws 16, whereby the door closer 6 is connected to the upper frame 21.

[0022] According to the above embodiment, since the door closer 6 is connected to the upper frame 21 in a state where no gap is formed between the lower surface, which is the main surface of the plate-shaped back plate connecting portion 44, and the upper surface of the upper frame connecting portion 266, it is possible to suppress damage to the upper frame connecting portion 266 due to the load from the door closer 6 or loosening of the fixing by the screw 16. Further, since the cutting portion 244 for exposing the upper contact portion 52 of the reinforcing member 5 is provided only in a part of the cylindrical portion 241, a decrease in heat insulation performance can be suppressed.

[0023] [Modification Example] In the above embodiment, instead of the reinforcing member 5, the reinforcing member 8 shown in FIGS. 5(A) to 5(C) may be used. The reinforcing member 8 is formed by bending a metal plate, and includes a rectangular plate-shaped lower contact portion 81 whose longitudinal direction is parallel to the X-axis direction and whose short-side direction is parallel to the Z-axis direction, a connecting portion 82 that extends upward along the Y-axis direction from one short-side edge (outdoor side) of the lower contact portion 81, an upper contact portion 83 that extends inward along the Z-axis direction from the upper end of the connecting portion 82, and a pair of reinforcing member fixing portions 84 that extend in a direction away from each other along the X-axis direction from both longitudinal edges of the upper contact portion 83. Four screw insertion holes 811 arranged in the X-axis direction are formed in the lower contact portion 81. The upper contact portion 83 is formed in the same rectangle as the lower contact portion 81 in plan view. Screw insertion holes 831 are formed at positions corresponding to the screw insertion holes 811 in the upper contact portion 83. Screws 16 for fixing the door closer 6 to the back plate 4 are inserted through the screw insertion holes 811 and 831. Each reinforcing member fixing portion 84 is formed such that the indoor end face is located on the same plane as the indoor end face of the upper contact portion 83, while the outdoor end face is located closer to the indoor side than the outdoor end face of the upper contact portion 83. One screw insertion hole 841 is formed in each reinforcing member fixing portion 84. The reinforcing member 8 is fixed to the indoor upper profile 26 in a state where the upper surface of the upper contact portion 83 is in surface contact with the lower surface of the upper frame connecting portion 266 and the lower surface of the lower contact portion 81 is in surface contact with the upper surface of the bottom portion 241A by a screw 15 inserted through the screw insertion hole 841 and screwed into the female screw portion 266A of the upper frame connecting portion 266 within the cylindrical portion 241 of the resin upper frame member 24.

[0024] The reinforcing members 5 and 8 do not necessarily have to be provided with the reinforcing member fixing portions 54 and 84. In this case, with the reinforcing members 5 and 8 arranged in the cylindrical portion 241, the resin upper frame member 24 may be temporarily fixed to the outdoor upper profile member 25. An airtight material 7 may not be provided between the back plate connecting portion 44 and the upper frame connecting portion 266, and the lower surface of the back plate connecting portion 44 and the upper surface of the upper frame connecting portion 266 may be in surface contact. The lower contact portion of the reinforcing member may be formed in a plate shape extending in the vertical direction, and the end surface of the lower contact portion may be in surface contact with the bottom surface portion 241A. The reinforcing member may be formed in a block shape. In this case, it may or may not be provided with a reinforcing member fixing portion. Although the screw 15 is exemplified as the reinforcing member fixing tool for fixing the reinforcing member to the upper frame connecting portion, an adhesive or a double-sided tape may also be used.
