Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, in the case of fixtures that slide the shoji screen in the in-plane direction, such as a sliding window or a single-slide door, reducing the finding dimensions of the door head frame or the like can improve the heat insulation performance. In the sliding window described in Patent Document 1, a back plate is housed in a hollow portion formed at a position on the outer peripheral side of the panel among the second members, and the handle is screwed to the back plate with a screw passing in the expected direction. Therefore, if the finding dimension of the door head frame member (door head frame) is reduced, the position of the handle will be close to the position of the vertical frame member adjacent to the door head frame member, and there is a risk that the handle will interfere with the vertical frame member.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a fixture capable of suppressing interference of a handle with a frame body.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The fixture of the present invention is a fixture in which a shoji screen that slides in the in-plane direction is disposed within a frame body. The frame body includes an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames. The shoji screen includes a frame body and a panel disposed within the frame body. The frame body includes at least a door head frame adjacent to one of the left and right vertical frames. The door head frame is configured by combining a metal frame member and a resin frame member located on the indoor side with respect to the metal frame member. The metal frame member has a frame main body portion located on the outer peripheral side of the panel and a panel mounting groove formed on the inner peripheral side with respect to the frame main body portion and in which the panel is disposed. The panel mounting groove has a metal finding surface portion facing the panel in the expected direction. The resin frame member has a resin finding portion disposed to face the metal finding surface portion in the expected direction. An attachment opening for the handle is formed in the resin finding portion. The handle is attached to a mounting member fixed to the metal frame member through the attachment opening.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 4, the resin frame member 731 of the door-end frame 63 is located on the indoor side with respect to the metal frame member 631, and includes a main body frame portion 732 configured in a horizontally long hollow shape by indoor and outdoor finding portions 733A and 733B along the X-axis direction and left and right prospecting portions 734A and 734B along the Z-axis direction, and an engaging piece portion 735 extending in the Z-axis direction from the outer peripheral side prospecting portion 734A toward the outdoor side and bent and extending on the outer peripheral side. The main body frame portion 732 is arranged on the indoor side of the panel 66. The finding portion 733A is arranged on the outdoor side of the finding portion 733B, and the prospecting portion 734A is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the prospecting portion 734B. The outer peripheral end of the finding portion 733A is continuous with the prospecting portion 734A. The engaging piece portion 735 is arranged at a distance from the resin side piece portion 342 of the resin frame member 341 in the X-axis direction. An engaging portion 735A that engages with the engaging recess 636A of the metal frame member 631 is formed at the tip of the engaging piece portion 735. An engaging groove portion 738 that engages with the indoor finding surface portion 635 of the metal frame member 631 is formed at the continuous portion of the finding portion 733A and the prospecting portion 734B. In this resin frame member 731, the main body frame portion 732 is configured as a resin finding portion arranged to face the indoor finding surface portion 635 of the metal frame member 631 in the Z-axis direction. Inside the main body frame portion 732, a mounting member 90 for mounting a handle 16 for opening and closing the blind 6 in the X-axis direction is arranged. The handle 16 has a handle main body portion 165 and a base portion 166 screwed to the mounting member 90 with a screw 96 along the Z-axis direction. Openings 111 and 112 (notches) penetrating in the Z-axis direction are formed in the finding portions 733A and 733B of the main body frame portion 732, and the opening 112 formed in the finding portion 733B is configured as a mounting opening for arranging the mounting member 90 to which the handle 16 is mounted.

[0023] The attachment member 90 has a fixing piece portion 91 fixed to the metal frame member 631 and an attachment piece portion 92 continuous with the fixing piece portion 91 and to which the handle 16 is attached via the opening 112. Further, the attachment member 90 is a piece material, and one or more are provided according to the shape of the handle 16. Note that the openings 101 and 102 are appropriately formed according to the number and arrangement of the attachment members 90. The fixing piece portion 91 is arranged along the inner peripheral prospective surface portion 633 of the metal frame member 631 and is screwed to the inner peripheral prospective surface portion 633 with a screw 95 along the X-axis direction penetrating the inner peripheral prospective surface portion 633. In the present embodiment, the screw 95 is a fixture inserted from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side with respect to the inner peripheral prospective surface portion 633 in the X-axis direction. The attachment piece portion 92 is arranged along the opening 112 so that its indoor surface is flush with the indoor surface of the finding portion 733B, and is arranged spaced apart toward the indoor side from the indoor finding surface portion 635 of the metal frame member 631 in the Z-axis direction. At the inner peripheral side end of the attachment piece portion 92, a protrusion 921 abutting on the indoor finding surface portion 635 of the metal frame member 631 is formed to protrude toward the outdoor side in the Z-axis direction. The handle 16 is attached to this attachment piece portion 92 by screwing a screw 96 along the Z-axis direction. In the present embodiment, the screw 96 is a fixture inserted and screwed from the indoor side to the outdoor side with respect to the attachment piece portion 92 in the Z-axis direction. The attachment member 90 in the present embodiment is formed in a substantially U shape, and the fixing piece portion 91 and the protrusion 921 are arranged through the opening 111. Note that the attachment member 90 is formed of a metal material such as steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

[0024] In the aforesaid sash 6, the handle 15 is directly provided on the outdoor-facing surface portion 632 of the sash main body portion 630, while the handle 16 is indirectly provided via the attachment member 90 on the inner peripheral prospective surface portion 633 of the sash main body portion 630. The handle 15 is disposed to face the sash main body portion 630 in the Z-axis direction, and the handle 16 is disposed to face the panel attachment groove 631A in the Z-axis direction on the inner peripheral side of the sash main body portion 630, and is disposed at a position on the inner peripheral side with respect to the position of the handle 15. For this reason, in the sliding window 1 in which the left and right dimensions in the X-axis direction of the opening of the window frame 2 are smaller on the outdoor side, the handle 15 is firmly attached to the aluminum sash main body portion 630 at a position spaced apart from the vertical frame 24 in the X-axis direction, while the position of the handle 16 firmly attached to the aluminum sash main body portion 630 via the metal attachment member 90 can be eccentrically disposed on the inner peripheral side with respect to the position of the handle 15, and the space in the X-axis direction between the handle 16 and the vertical frame 24 (mainly the resin sash material 731) can be expanded, and the possibility of the handle 16 interfering with the vertical frame 24 can be eliminated.

[0025] In the aforesaid sliding window 1, the resin frame materials 311, 321, 331, 341 and the resin sash materials 511, 521, 531, 541, 711, 721, 731, 741 cover the metal frame materials 211, 221, 231, 241 and the metal sash materials 411, 421, 431, 441, 611, 621, 631, 641 so that the metal frame materials 211, 221, 231, 241 and the metal sash materials 411, 421, 431, 441, 611, 621, 631, 641 are not exposed as much as possible in the indoor space. By configuring the window frame 2, the outer sash 4 and the inner sash 6 with aluminum-resin composite profiles, the heat insulation between the indoor and outdoor is improved. Further, by attaching the handles 15, 16, the opening and closing operation is made easy even if heavy sashes are adopted for the outer sash 4 and the inner sash 6.

[0026] [Modification Example] In the above-described embodiment, the continuous portion 83 of the attachment member 80 is formed to be inclined as described above, but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the attachment member 80 can be installed inside the door edge frame 43, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the continuous portion 83 may be formed along the Z-axis direction without being inclined as described above. In the above-described embodiment, the attachment pieces 82 and 92 of the attachment members 80 and 90 are arranged at a distance from the indoor finding surfaces 435 and 635 in the Z-axis direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the handle 16 can be attached to the attachment pieces 82 and 92, they may be arranged close to the indoor finding surfaces 435 and 635. In the above-described embodiment, the protrusions 821 and 921 are formed to protrude outward on the outdoor side of the attachment pieces 82 and 92. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If the handle 16 can be sufficiently supported even without the protrusions 821 and 921, the configuration of the protrusions 821 and 921 may be omitted. In the above-described embodiment, the handle 16 is attached to the attachment pieces 82 and 92 by a fixture inserted from the indoor side to the outdoor side in the Z-axis direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The handle 16 may be fixed to the attachment pieces 82 and 92 by other forms of fixtures. In the above-described embodiment, the left and right dimensions of the opening defined by the window frame 2 are smaller on the indoor side than on the outdoor side. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As long as a sufficient interval is ensured between the handles 15 and 16 and the vertical frames 23 and 24, the left and right dimensions of the opening may be the same on the outdoor side and the indoor side, or may be larger on the indoor side than on the outdoor side. Also, the positions of the handles 15 and 16 are arranged eccentrically with respect to each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the handle 15 can be installed at a position facing the outdoor finding surfaces 432 and 632 in the Z-axis direction, the positions of the handles 15 and 16 do not have to be arranged eccentrically with respect to each other. In the above-described embodiment, the sliding window 1 is described as a fitting in which the shoji slides in the in-plane direction within the frame body. In addition to this, a sliding window such as a single sliding window may also be used as the fitting.

[0027] [Summary of the Invention] (1) The fitting of the present invention is a fitting in which a shoji screen that slides in the in-plane direction is disposed within a frame body. The frame body includes an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames. The shoji screen includes a frame body and a panel disposed within the frame body. The frame body includes at least a door-end frame adjacent to one of the left and right vertical frames. The door-end frame is configured by combining a metal frame member and a resin frame member located on the indoor side with respect to the metal frame member. The metal frame member has a frame main body portion located on the outer peripheral side of the panel and a panel mounting groove formed on the inner peripheral side with respect to the frame main body portion and in which the panel is disposed. The panel mounting groove has a metal finding surface portion facing the panel in the prospective direction. The resin frame member has a resin finding portion disposed to face the metal finding surface portion in the prospective direction. An opening for mounting a handle is formed in the resin finding portion. The handle is attached to a mounting member fixed to the metal frame member through the mounting opening. According to the fitting of the present invention, since the handle is attached to the mounting member at a position facing the metal finding surface portion in the prospective direction, the position of the handle can be arranged at a position closer to the inner peripheral side with respect to the frame main body portion and separated from the vertical frame adjacent to the door-end frame toward the inner peripheral side. Therefore, while reducing the finding dimension of the door-end frame, interference of the handle with the frame body can be suppressed. In addition, only screw holes or the like for fixing the mounting member are required in the metal frame member, and it is not necessary to form screw holes or the like for attaching the handle. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to form a structure such as screw holes for attaching the handle to the metal frame member, the labor required for water-stopping treatment at locations where the indoor and outdoor can communicate in the metal frame member can be reduced, and water-stopping performance can be improved. In the fitting of the present invention, by attaching the handle to the door-end frame, even if the shoji screen is heavy, the sliding movement operation can be easily performed. (2) In the fitting of the present invention, the attachment member has a fixing piece portion fixed to the metal frame member, and an attachment piece portion continuous with the fixing piece portion and to which the handle is attached through the attachment opening. The attachment piece portion is disposed at a distance from the metal finding surface portion, and a protrusion that abuts against the metal finding surface portion may be formed to protrude toward the outdoor side on the attachment piece portion. According to such a configuration, by disposing the attachment piece portion closer to the handle side and bringing the protrusion into contact with the finding surface portion, it is possible to improve the attachment strength of the handle. (3) In the fitting of the present invention, the attachment member has a fixing piece portion fixed to the metal frame member, and an attachment piece portion continuous with the fixing piece portion and to which the handle is attached through the attachment opening. The attachment piece portion is disposed at a distance from the metal finding surface portion, and the continuous portion between the fixing piece portion and the attachment piece portion may be inclined toward the outdoor side as it goes toward the outer peripheral side. According to such a configuration, since the above-described continuous portion is inclined, when fixing the attachment member to the frame main body portion, it becomes easy to insert and dispose the attachment member from the attachment opening, and it is possible to improve the ease of assembling the attachment member. Also, the attachment piece portion can be disposed closer to the handle. (4) In the fitting of the present invention, the attachment member has a fixing piece portion fixed to the metal frame member, and an attachment piece portion continuous with the fixing piece portion and to which the handle is attached through the attachment opening. The attachment piece portion is disposed at a distance from the metal finding surface portion, and the handle may be attached to the attachment piece portion by a fixture inserted from the indoor side to the outdoor side in the prospective direction. According to such a configuration, by using the above-described fixture, the handle can be easily attached from the indoor side. Also, for example, even if a part of the fixture protrudes from the attachment piece portion toward the metal finding surface portion side, the protruding portion can be disposed in the space formed between the attachment piece portion and the metal finding surface portion, eliminating the need to form a hole or the like corresponding to the protruding portion in the metal finding surface portion. (5) In the fitting of the present invention, the dimension in the left-right direction of the opening partitioned by the frame body is set to be smaller on the indoor side than on the outdoor side. The frame body includes an outdoor handle attached to the door-end frame from the outdoor side and an indoor handle attached to the door-end frame from the indoor side. The outdoor handle may be attached to the frame main body portion, and the indoor handle may be constituted by the handle attached to the attachment member through the attachment opening. According to such a configuration, the mounting position of the indoor handle is arranged eccentrically to a position on the inner peripheral side with respect to the mounting position of the outdoor handle attached to the frame main body portion. Therefore, for example, when the frame body is composed of a metal frame member and a resin frame member combined from the indoor side with respect to the metal frame member, even when the dimension in the left-right direction of the opening partitioned by the frame body is set to be smaller on the indoor side than on the outdoor side, it is possible to suppress the interference of the indoor handle with the vertical frame while reducing the finding dimension of the door-end frame.
