Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to building materials. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in fixtures such as casement windows, a shoji screen is placed on the inner periphery of the frame. For casement windows, a technology has been proposed in which airtight materials are placed between the interior side of the frame and the exterior side of the shoji screen, and between the interior side of the frame and the exterior side of the shoji screen, to seal the gap between the frame and the shoji screen (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-163085 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To place airtight materials in multiple locations, it is necessary to form the molding material into a complex shape so that the airtight materials can be placed on the frame and shoji screen, and then to attach the airtight materials to the frame or frame.In addition, since most of the frame or frame that forms the hollow space between the airtight material on the outside and the airtight material on the inside are made of metal materials such as aluminum, they are cooled by the cold air outside, and this is transmitted to the room through the airtight material on the inside, reducing the insulating performance of the window. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present disclosure relates to a composite sash fitting in which at least one of a frame body and a shoji screen placed within the frame body is made of metal and resin, wherein the frame body has a frame-body shoji side portion placed opposite the shoji screen, the shoji screen has a shoji frame side portion placed opposite the frame-body shoji side portion, and at least one side of the frame body and the shoji screen has an airtight material formed on one side of either the frame-body shoji side portion or the shoji frame side portion and abutting toward the other side, and the airtight material is integrally molded with the frame-body shoji side portion made of resin or the shoji frame side portion made of resin, and multiple airtight materials are placed at intervals from each other. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Resin lower frame portion 22b is formed in a generally L-shape in cross section and has upright portion 223 and indoor-side frame portion 224.

[0018] The rising portion 223 is a plate-shaped portion that rises upward from the upper surface 222a of the indoor-side upper stage portion 222 of the aluminum lower frame portion 22a. The rising portion 223 engages with the resin lower frame portion engaging piece 222f. The opening / closing mechanism 4, which will be described later, is fixed to the rising portion 223.

[0019] The indoor-side frame portion 224 extends in the front-facing direction on the indoor side of the lower frame 22. The indoor-side frame portion 224 is disposed at a distance from the upper surface 222a of the indoor-side upper stage portion 222 of the aluminum lower frame portion 22a in the inner circumferential direction of the frame body 2, i.e., upward, and extends opposite the upper surface 222a. The indoor-side frame portion 224 extends from the upper end of the upright portion 223 to the outdoor side. The indoor-side frame portion 224 has a length dimension in the front-facing direction that is approximately the same as the front-facing direction of the lower frame 22, a length dimension in the front-facing direction that is approximately half the length of the lower frame 22, and is formed in a thin, approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape with a thickness direction that is shorter than the length dimension in the front-facing direction. The indoor-side frame portion 224 is hollow inside and has a hollow structure portion 225.

[0020] Screen holders 51 and 52 capable of holding the ends of the screen 5 are formed on the indoor frame portion 224 of the resin lower frame portion 22b and the upper frame shoji side portion 213 of the resin upper frame portion 21b. The screen holders 51 and 52 are arranged opposite each other above and below.

[0021] 2, the vertical frame 23 extends in the vertical direction of the opening 101 and is arranged to connect the upper frame 21 and the lower frame 22 at both ends of the upper frame 21 and the lower frame 22. The vertical frame 23 has an aluminum vertical frame portion 23a and a resin vertical frame portion 23b.

[0022] The aluminum vertical frame portion 23a has a projection portion 231 and an engagement portion 232. The projection portion 231 fits along the edge of the opening 101 extending in the vertical direction and covers the vertical edge of the opening 101 in the projection direction.

[0023] The resin vertical frame portion 23b is formed in a generally L-shaped cross section and includes a vertical frame room-side portion 233 and a vertical frame shoji side portion 234. The vertical frame room-side portion 233 extends along the projection direction on the inner periphery of the projection portion 231 of the aluminum vertical frame portion 23a. The vertical frame shoji side portion 234 bends from the outdoor end of the vertical frame room-side portion 233 and extends along the projection direction. The vertical frame shoji side portion 234 is positioned opposite the indoor side surface 333 of the vertical stile 33 of the shoji 3 (described later). The vertical frame shoji side portion 234 constitutes the frame-body shoji side portion of the frame body 2. An airtight material 6 (described later) is integrally molded with the vertical frame shoji side portion 234. A screen door holder 53 that holds a screen door 5 is positioned at the indoor corner where the vertical frame room-side portion 233 and the vertical frame shoji side portion 234 are connected.

[0024] The shoji screen 3 surrounds the glass portion 34 (described later) on all four sides and is arranged on the inner periphery of the frame body 2 so as to be able to open and close. The shoji screen 3 has a frame 30 and a glass portion 34. The frame 30 has an elongated upper frame 31, a lower frame 32, and a pair of vertical frames 33. The frame 30 is formed in a roughly U-shaped cross section that opens toward the inner periphery. The frame 30 is made entirely of aluminum.

[0025] The upper frame 31 has an exterior side surface 311 extending to the outside of the room, an upper frame projection portion 312, an interior side surface 313, and an airtight material abutment portion 314. The exterior side surface 311 has a flat surface extending downward from near the exterior end of the upper frame 21. The upper frame projection portion 312 protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the exterior side surface 311 and extends in the projection direction. The interior side surface 313 extends from the exterior end of the upper frame projection portion 312 opposite the exterior side surface 311. The airtight material abutment portion 314 is a protrusion that protrudes in the projection direction from the interior side surface 313 toward the inside of the room. As shown in FIG. 1 , the tip of the protrusion of the airtight material abutment portion 314 bends upward to form a surface that is short in the vertical direction and is configured with a surface against which the airtight material 6 can abut. The airtight material abutment portion 314 constitutes the side portion of the shoji frame of the shoji 3. The exterior side surface 311, the upper frame projection portion 312, and the interior side surface 313 form a glass holding portion 31c that is open downward.

[0026] The lower frame 32 has an exterior side surface 321, a lower frame projection portion 322, an interior side surface 323, a hollow structure portion 324, and an airtight material abutment portion 325. The exterior side surface 321 has a flat surface extending upward from near the exterior end of the lower frame 22. The lower frame projection portion 322 projects in a direction perpendicular to the exterior side surface 321 and extends in the projection direction. The interior side surface 323 extends from the exterior end of the lower frame projection portion 322 opposite the exterior side surface 321. The hollow structure portion 324 is positioned below the lower frame projection portion 322 and is a hollow portion formed along the lower frame projection portion 322. The hollow structural portion 324 is composed of a part of the exterior side surface 321, a lower frame projection portion 322, a part of the interior side surface 323, and a hollow projection piece 3241 facing the lower frame projection portion 322. The airtight material abutment portion 325 is a protrusion that protrudes in the projection direction from the interior side surface 323 toward the interior side.

[0027] The vertical frame 33 has an exterior side surface 331, a vertical frame projection portion 332, and an interior side surface 333. The exterior side surface 331 extends in the front direction from the inner periphery of the exterior end of the vertical frame 23. The vertical frame projection portion 332 extends in the front direction from the exterior side surface 331. The interior side surface 333 extends in the front direction from the interior end of the vertical frame projection portion 332 toward the inner periphery. The interior side surface 333 is positioned opposite the vertical frame shoji side portion 234 of the resin vertical frame portion 23b. The interior side surface 333 forms the side portion of the shoji frame body of the shoji 3. The exterior side surface 331, the vertical frame projection portion 332, and the exterior side surface 331 form a cross section of the vertical frame 33 that is roughly U-shaped in cross section and opens toward the inner periphery of the frame 30, and the recess formed on the inside of this roughly U-shaped cross section becomes the glass holding portion 33c.

[0028] The glass section 34 has glass 341, a grating channel 342, and a setting block 343. The glass 341 is a surface material that closes the opening 101. The glass section 34 has double-glazed glass, with two pieces arranged on the outside and inside of the room with a spacer 344 sandwiched between them. The grating channel 342 is a rubber gasket that holds the two pieces of glass together and has a roughly U-shaped cross section. The grating channel 342 is inserted into the glass holding sections 31c, 32c, and 33c of the frame 30 and holds the end face of the glass 341. The setting block 343 is a soft resin that is arranged between the grating channel 342 and the lower frame recess section 322.

[0029] The airtight material 6 is a soft resin placed between the frame body 2 and the shoji screen 3. The airtight material 6 is molded integrally with the hard resin that forms part of the frame body 2. The airtight material 6 is a thin fin member made of soft resin. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the airtight material 6 has an upper frame airtight material 61 and a vertical frame airtight material 63. The upper frame airtight material 61 and the vertical frame airtight material 63 are each composed of two fin members arranged with a gap between them. The upper frame airtight material 61 has a first upper frame airtight material 611 and a second upper frame airtight material 612. The vertical frame airtight material 63 has a first vertical frame airtight material 631 and a second vertical frame airtight material 632.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1 , the upper frame airtight material 61 is arranged so as to protrude toward the outside from the outdoor surface 213a of the upper frame shoji side portion 213 that constitutes the frame body shoji side portion of the upper frame 21. The upper frame airtight material 61 is integrally molded with the upper frame shoji side portion 213. The first upper frame airtight material 611 extends upward from the outdoor surface of the upper frame shoji side portion 213, i.e., toward the outer periphery of the shoji 3, and abuts against the airtight material abutment portion 314 of the upper frame stile 31. The second upper frame airtight material 612 extends downward from the outdoor surface of the upper frame shoji side portion 213, i.e., toward the inner periphery of the frame body. The second upper frame airtight material 612 is arranged with a vertical gap between it and the first upper frame airtight material 611. The upper frame airtight material 61 seals the gap between the upper stile 31 and the upper frame 21.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the vertical frame airtight material 63 is arranged so as to protrude toward the outside from the vertical frame shoji side portion 234 that constitutes the exterior surface of the vertical frame 23. The vertical frame airtight material 63 is molded integrally with the vertical frame shoji side portion 234. The first vertical frame airtight material 631 extends from the vertical frame shoji side portion 234 toward the outer periphery of the shoji 3 and abuts against the indoor side surface 333 of the vertical stile 33. The first vertical frame airtight material 631 is at the outermost position in the facing direction of the vertical frame shoji side portion 234, sealing the gap between the vertical stile 33 and the vertical frame 23. The second vertical frame airtight material 632 is arranged spaced apart from the first vertical frame airtight material 631 in the facing direction. The second vertical frame airtight material 632 extends from the vertical frame shoji side portion 234 toward the inner periphery of the frame body 2. The second vertical frame airtight material 632 abuts against the indoor side surface 333 of the vertical frame 33 at the innermost side in the viewing direction of the vertical frame shoji side portion 234. The vertical frame airtight material 63 seals the gap between the vertical frame 33 and the vertical frame 23.

[0032] Alternatively, an airtight material 66 may be placed between the frame body 2 and the shoji screen 3, separate from the frame body 2 and the shoji screen 3, and engaged with an engaging portion for placing the airtight material 6 formed on the frame body 2.

[0033] The opening and closing mechanism 4 has an operator 41 and a connection part (not shown). The operator 41 is connected to a handle (not shown) and opens and closes the shoji screen 3 by rotating the handle. The connection part is a mechanism that connects the operator 41 and the shoji screen 3. The connection part transmits the rotational movement of the operator 41 to an arm (not shown) that connects the shoji screen 3 and the frame body 2, thereby opening and closing the shoji screen 3.

[0034] This embodiment offers the following advantages. At least one of the frame 2 of the sliding window 1 and the shoji screen 3 placed within the frame 2 is constructed from a composite sash made of metal and resin. The frame 2 is constructed to include the frame shoji side surface portion placed opposite the shoji screen 3, i.e., the outdoor surface 213a of the upper frame shoji side portion 213 of the upper frame 21, and the vertical frame shoji side portion 234 of the vertical frame 23. The shoji screen 3 is constructed to include the shoji frame side surface portion placed opposite the frame shoji side surface portion, i.e., the airtight material abutment portion 314 of the upper frame 31, and the indoor side surface 333 of the vertical frame 33. The upper frame airtight material 61 and vertical frame airtight material 63 are formed on the outdoor surface 213a of the upper frame shoji side part 213 and the vertical frame shoji side part 234 of the vertical frame 23 at the upper frame 21 and vertical frame 23 of the frame body 2 on one side, and are abutted against the airtight material abutment part 314 on the shoji 3 side on the other side, and against the indoor side surface 333 of the vertical frame 33. The upper frame airtight material 61 and vertical frame airtight material 63 are integrally molded with the outdoor surface 213a of the resin upper frame shoji side part 213 and the vertical frame shoji side part 234 of the vertical frame 23, and two are arranged with a gap between them.

[0035] Two upper frame airtight materials 61 (first upper frame airtight material 611, second upper frame airtight material 612) and two vertical frame airtight materials 63 (first vertical frame airtight material 631, second vertical frame airtight material 632) are arranged with a gap between them on the outdoor surface 213a of the upper frame shoji side 213 and the vertical frame shoji side 234, respectively. The upper frame airtight material 61 and the vertical frame shoji side 234 are made of resin and are integrally molded with each other. By arranging two airtight materials with a gap between them on the shoji side surface of the frame 2, both the outer and inner peripheries of the frame 2 and the shoji 3 can be sealed, improving airtightness. Because the airtight material 6 is integrally molded with the resin frame 2, there is no need to attach the airtight material to the frame 2 or the frame stile 30 later, which reduces processing man-hours. By arranging multiple airtight materials (first upper frame airtight material 611 and second upper frame airtight material 612, and first vertical frame airtight material 631 and second vertical frame airtight material 632) close to each other, the cold air blocking effect is increased and the insulation performance is also improved.

[0036] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present disclosure are included in the present disclosure. In the above-described embodiment, the frame 30 of the shoji screen 3 is made entirely of aluminum, and the airtight material 6 is integrally molded in the resin portion of the frame body 2. However, it is sufficient that at least one of the frame body 2 and the shoji screen 3 is made of a composite material, and the frame 30 may be made of aluminum and resin. The airtight material 6 may be integrally molded in the resin portion of the frame 30 on the side of the shoji screen frame body.

[0037] In the above embodiment, an example was described in which the airtight material 6 was molded integrally with the upper frame 31 and the vertical frame 33. The airtight material 6 may be molded integrally with either the frame-frame shoji side portion or the shoji frame side portion on at least one side of the frame 2 or shoji screen 3. The airtight material 6 may also be arranged around all four sides of the resin part of the frame 2 or shoji screen 3. By arranging the airtight material 6 around all four sides, it is possible to further improve airtightness.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the upper frame airtight material 61 and the vertical frame airtight material 63 each have two airtight materials (first upper frame airtight material 611, second upper frame airtight material 612, and first vertical frame airtight material 631, second vertical frame airtight material 632) spaced apart from each other. However, the number of airtight materials is not limited to two. There may be more than two. [Explanation of symbols]
