Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Conventionally, in fittings installed on the exterior walls of buildings, when the space between the frame and the shoji screen becomes negative pressure, rainwater from outside is drawn in, and this rainwater can seep inside the building. For this reason, fittings are known that introduce outside air into the space between the frame and the shoji screen, equalizing the pressure of this space and the outside air to prevent rainwater from seeping in from outside (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such fittings, a gap is provided between the frame and the shoji screen to introduce outside air into the space between the frame and the shoji screen. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-51534 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] If there is a gap between the frame and the shoji screen, there is a problem in that rainwater can seep into the space between the frame and the shoji screen due to the potential energy of the falling rainwater and the potential energy of the rainwater that falls and bounces upward.

[0005] The present disclosure aims to provide a fixture that can prevent rainwater from entering the space between the frame and the shoji screen. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the building fixture of the present disclosure has a frame body and a shoji screen supported by the frame body, and an airtight material is provided on the indoor side of the lower frame of the frame body or the indoor side of the indoor side of the lower stile of the shoji screen, and an airtight material is provided on the indoor side of the lower frame or the outdoor side of the lower stile, and an outside air inlet path is formed in the lower frame to introduce outside air into the lower frame-lower stile space between the lower frame and the lower stile.

As described above, the indoor side panel portion 61 of the sill 6 and the indoor side panel portion 51 of the sill 5, which form the sill space 7, are in contact via an airtight material 511. The outdoor side panel portion 62 of the sill 6 and the inner shoji rail 54 of the sill 5 are in contact via an airtight material 623. The sill 5 and the sill 6 are in contact on the outdoor side via the airtight material 623, and in contact on the indoor side via the airtight material 511.

[0029] The outside air introduction path 8 introduces outside air from the inter-rail space 5c of the lower frame 5 into the lower frame stile space 7. The outside air introduction path 8 is made up of the cover member 59, the hole 573 of the intermediate plate portion 57, and the hole 541 of the inner shoji rail 54. The outside air introduction path 8 is a path that runs from the inter-rail space 5c of the lower frame 5 through the inside of the cover member 59, passes through the hole 573 of the intermediate plate portion 57, passes through the hole 541 of the inner shoji rail 54, and reaches the lower frame stile space 7. The outside air introduction path 8 allows the air in the inter-rail space 5c of the lower frame 5 to reach the lower frame stile space 7.

[0030] As described above, the outdoor side panel 62 of the stile 6 and the inner shoji rail 54 of the stile 5 are in contact with each other via the airtight material 623. The airtight material 623 is provided only at both ends of the stile 6 in the lengthwise direction, i.e., in the left-right direction, and is not provided in the middle part in the left-right direction. Therefore, at both ends of the stile 6 in the left-right direction, the gap between the outdoor side panel 62 of the stile 6 and the inner shoji rail 54 of the stile 5 is blocked by the airtight material 623. At the middle part of the stile 6 in the left-right direction, a gap is formed between the outdoor side panel 62 of the stile 6 and the inner shoji rail 54 of the stile 5. As a result, at both ends of the stile 6 in the left-right direction, rainwater can be prevented from entering the stile space 7 through the gap between the outdoor side panel 62 of the stile 6 and the inner shoji rail 54 of the stile 5. In the middle part of the lower frame 6 in the left-right direction, outside air can be introduced into the lower frame space 7.

[0031] As shown in Figures 4 and 11 to 13, a hole 631 is formed in the intermediate plate portion 63 of the bottom frame 6, penetrating in the vertical direction. Outside air introduced into the bottom frame space 7 is introduced into the glass groove portion 6a of the bottom frame 6 through the hole 631.

The bottom frame 6 of the inner shoji screen 3 is provided with an airtight material 623 on the indoor surface of the outdoor-side panel portion 62, which is the outdoor side. The airtight material 623 contacts the outdoor surface of the inner shoji rail 54 of the sill 5. The sill 5 and the bottom frame 6 are in contact via the airtight material 623 on the outdoor side and via the airtight material 511 on the indoor side. This prevents rainwater from entering the sill space 7 through the gap between the sill 5 and the bottom frame 6. The sill 5 is provided with an outside air introduction path 8 that introduces outside air into the sill space 7. Therefore, even if the sill 5 and the sill 6 are in contact via the airtight materials 511, 623, outside air can be introduced into the sill space 7, making the sill space 7 equal in pressure to the outside air. This prevents outdoor rainwater from being drawn into the sill space 7. The building material 1 can prevent rainwater from entering the sill space 7, and therefore can prevent rainwater from entering the room from the sill space 7.

[0048] The outside air introduction path 8 is connected to the lower frame bottom space 7 through a hole 573 in an intermediate plate portion 57 formed in the lower frame 5 and a hole 541 in the inner shoji rail 54. The lower frame 5 has a cover member 59 that is disposed above the hole 573 in the intermediate plate portion 57 and the hole 541 in the inner shoji rail 54 and forms the outside air introduction path 8. This prevents rainwater from entering the room through the hole 573 in the intermediate plate portion 57 or the hole 541 in the inner shoji rail 54.

[0049] When rainwater seeps into the sill space 7, it is more likely to seep into the interior from both ends of the sill space 7 than from the middle part in the left-right direction. In the above embodiment, the airtight material 623 of the sill 6 is provided only at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the sill 6. Therefore, rainwater can be prevented from seeping into the interior without providing airtight material 623 along the entire length of the sill 6. Outside air can be introduced into the sill space 7 from the part between the sill 5 and the sill 6 where no airtight material 623 is provided. Therefore, even if the amount of outside air introduced into the sill space 7 from the outside air introduction path 8 is small, outside air is introduced into the sill space 7, so the equal-pressure structure can be maintained.

[0050] A hole 631 is formed in the intermediate plate 63 of the bottom frame 6, connecting the lower hollow portion 6b with the inside of the glass groove portion 6a. This allows outside air to be introduced into the inside of the glass groove portion 6a, and the inside of the glass groove portion 6a can also be made equal in pressure to the outside air. The glass groove portion 6a of the bottom frame 6 is connected to the glass groove portions 35a, 36a of the door end frame 35 and the door joint frame 36, so outside air can also be introduced into the glass groove portions 35a, 36a of the door end frame 35 and the door joint frame 36. The inside of the glass groove portions 35a, 36a of the door end frame 35 and the door joint frame 36 can also be made equal in pressure to the outside air.

[0051] The groove bottom plate 351 of the door frame 35 of the inner shoji screen 3 is provided with a hole 351a that allows outside air to be introduced into the glass groove 35a. Outside air can also be introduced into the glass groove 35a of the door frame 35. The inside of the glass groove 35a of the door frame 35 can also be made equal in pressure to the outside air.

[0052] (Second embodiment) As shown in FIG. 20, the fitting 1B according to the second embodiment differs from the fitting 1 of the first embodiment in the outside air introduction path 8. The outside air introduction path 8B of the fitting 1B according to the second embodiment is constituted by a hole 581 in the inner shoji rail lower plate portion 58, a hole 561 in the lower frame hollow portion 5a, and an upper plate portion 56. See also FIG. 5 for the hole 581 in the inner shoji rail lower plate portion 58, a hole 561 in the lower frame hollow portion 5a, and an upper plate portion 56. The outside air introduction path 8B is a path that flows from the inter-rail space 5c of the lower frame 5, passes through the hole 581 in the inner shoji rail lower plate portion 58, flows into the lower frame hollow portion 5a, and reaches the lower frame stile space 7 through the hole 561 in the upper plate portion 56. The outside air introduction path 8B allows air in the inter-rail space 5c of the lower frame 5 to reach the lower frame stile space 7. The fitting 1B according to the second embodiment is not provided with the cover member 59 of the fitting 1 of the first embodiment.

[0053] In the fitting 1B according to the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the sill 5 and the stile 6 are in contact with each other via airtight materials 511 and 623. This prevents rainwater from entering the stile space 7 through the gap between the sill 5 and the stile 6. The sill 5 has an outside air introduction path 8B that introduces outside air into the stile space 7. This allows outside air to be introduced into the stile space 7 even when the sill 5 and the stile 6 are in contact with each other via the airtight materials 511 and 623, making it possible to equalize the pressure in the stile space 7 with the outside air. This prevents outdoor rainwater from being drawn into the stile space 7. The fitting 1B can prevent rainwater from entering the stile space 7, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the room from the stile space 7.

[0054] In the fitting 1B according to the second embodiment, the intermediate plate portion 57 also protrudes outdoors slightly below the upper end of the inner shoji rail lower plate portion 58. The outdoor end of the intermediate plate portion 57 is positioned indoors and above the outer shoji rail 55. An airtight material 571 is attached to the outdoor end of the intermediate plate portion 57. A groove portion 572 for attaching the airtight material 571 is formed in the outdoor end of the intermediate plate portion 57. The airtight material 571 contacts the indoor surface of the indoor side plate portion 441 of the bottom frame 44 of the outer shoji 4.

[0056] The outside air introduction paths 8, 8B are configured to introduce outside air from the rail-to-rail space 5c of the lower frame 5 into the lower frame stile space 7. As long as the configuration introduces outside air from the outside side of the inner shoji rail 54 into the lower frame stile space 7, outside air other than the rail-to-rail space 5c may be introduced.

[0057] The airtight material 623 attached to the outdoor side panel 62 of the stile 6 and in contact with the inner shoji rail 54 of the stile 5 may be provided over the entire length of the stile 6. By doing so, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the stile space 7 through the gap between the outdoor side panel 62 of the stile 6 and the inner shoji rail 54 of the stile 5 over the entire length of the stile 6.

[0058] The lower hollow portion 6b provided below the glass groove portion 6a of the lower frame 6 does not have to be open downward except for the portion where the door roller 37 is arranged.
