Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Conventionally, a technique for applying a mortar finish to the surface of a door has been known, for example, to apply a mortar finish to furniture doors, as shown in Patent Document 1. In Patent Document 1, an opening is made by cutting out the center of a flush panel, and a mortar plate of approximately the same width and thickness as the opening is fitted and fixed into this opening. The mortar plate is made by previously attaching multiple single fence pieces diagonally to two crosspieces.

[0003] On the other hand, there is also a demand for building fixtures to have uneven surfaces to create a three-dimensional effect. In particular, in the case of steel entrance doors, wooden armored finishing materials can be applied to the door surface to create a wood-like appearance. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-22933 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, because there are various heights of entrance doors, multiple types of finishing materials must be prepared according to the height of the entrance door, which increases the number of manufacturing processes. Furthermore, even if finishing materials are prepared in advance in a factory or the like according to the height of the entrance door, if the height of the entrance door differs due to an error when the finishing materials are installed on-site, the heights of the finishing materials and the entrance door will not match, and the heights of the finishing materials and the entrance door will have to be adjusted on the spot, which causes the problem of troublesome adjustment work.

[0006] The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a fitting that can easily be finished with armor, even for fitting bodies of various heights, and that can reduce the number of manufacturing steps and costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, A fitting 101 in which a finishing material 2 is provided on the surface 11 of a fitting body 1, A frame portion 3 (left frame portion 3L, right frame portion 3R) is provided on the side (left side surface 13L, right side surface 13R) of the fitting body 1 and extends outward from the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, A plurality of finishing materials 2 are arranged in an armor-like manner along the vertical direction of the fitting body 1 within a storage space 4 surrounded by the frame portion 3 (left frame portion 3L, right frame portion 3R) and the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, The finishing materials 2 are adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, and are characterized in that the upper surface of the lower finishing material 2a is overlapped with the lower back surface of the upper finishing material 2b, thereby forming an overlapping margin 21.

[0008] According to the invention described in claim 1, a fitting 101 has a finishing material 2 provided on the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, and comprises a frame portion 3 (left frame portion 3L, right frame portion 3R) provided on the side (left side 13L, right side 13R) of the fitting body 1 and extending outward from the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, and a plurality of finishing materials 2 arranged in an armor-like manner along the vertical direction of the fitting body 1 within a storage space 4 surrounded by the frame portion 3 (left frame portion 3L, right frame portion 3R) and the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, and in the finishing materials 2 adjacent to each other vertically, the upper surface of the lower finishing material 2a is overlapped with the lower back surface of the upper finishing material 2b, thereby providing an overlapping margin 21.Therefore, by storing a plurality of finishing materials 2 in an armor-like manner along the vertical direction within the storage space 4, a fitting 101 with an excellent armor-finished appearance can be easily manufactured. Furthermore, by adjusting the dimensions of the overlapping space 21 and accommodating the finishing material 2, the overall height of the armored and arranged finishing material 2 can be changed, making it easy to accommodate fittings 1 of various heights. For example, at a construction site, the dimensions of the overlapping space 21 can be adjusted according to the height of the fitting body 1 and the finishing material 2 can be attached. Furthermore, there is no need to prepare multiple types of finishing materials 2 with different heights, and finishing materials 2 of the same dimensions can be used, which reduces the number of manufacturing steps and costs.

[0009] The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, in the fitting 101 described in claim 1, In the storage space 4, the plurality of finishing materials 2 are arranged with the upper end portions of the finishing materials 2 inclined toward the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 relative to the lower end portions, A lowest-level spacer 7 is provided between the rear surface of the lower end of the lowest-level finishing material 2c and the surface 11 of the fitting body 1.

[0010] According to the invention described in claim 2, multiple finishing materials 2 are arranged in the storage space 4 with their upper ends tilted toward the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 relative to their lower ends. A lowest-level spacer 7 is provided between the back surface of the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2c and the surface 11a of the fitting body 1. By changing the height h of the lowest-level spacer 7, the tilt angle θ of the finishing material 2 relative to the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 can be changed. By changing the tilt angle θ, the dimension of the overlapping margin 21 can also be changed, and the overall height of the finished materials 2 arranged in a tiered manner can also be changed. As a result, it is easy to accommodate various heights of the fitting body 1. Furthermore, it is only necessary to prepare a plurality of types of bottom spacers 7 with different heights, which reduces the number of manufacturing steps and costs compared to when a plurality of types of finishing materials 2 with different heights are prepared.

[0011] The invention described in claim 3 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, in the fitting 101A described in claim 1, In the storage space 4, the plurality of finishing materials 2 are arranged with the upper end portions of the finishing materials 2 inclined toward the surface 11 of the fitting body 1A relative to the lower end portions, An adjustment spacer 8A extending along the vertical direction of the fitting body 1A is provided on the surface 11 of the fitting body 1A, The rear surfaces of the upper ends of the plurality of finishing materials 2 are in contact with the adjustment spacer 8A.

[0012] According to the invention described in claim 3, the plurality of finishing materials 2 are arranged in the storage space 4 with their upper ends tilted toward the surface 11 of the fitting body 1A relative to their lower ends, and an adjustment spacer 8A extending along the vertical direction of the fitting body 1A is provided on the surface 11 of the fitting body 1A, and the back surfaces of the upper ends of the plurality of finishing materials 2 abut against the adjustment spacer 8A, so that the adjustment spacer 8A can adjust the gap between the back surfaces of the upper ends of the finishing materials 2 and the surface of the fitting body 1A. Therefore, each finishing material 2 is reliably stored in the storage space 4 without misalignment.

[0013] The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 6 to 10, in the fitting 101B described in claim 1, A notch 22B is formed at the lower end of the upper finishing material 2bB, In the overlapping area 21B, a bracket 6B is provided between the upper end of the lower finishing material 2aB and the lower end of the upper finishing material 2bB to connect the finishing materials 2aB and 2bB to each other, The bracket 6B is characterized by having an engagement portion (upper piece portion 61B and connection portion 63B) that engages with the upper end portion of the lower finishing material 2aB, and a support portion (lower piece portion 62B) that protrudes from the engagement portion (upper piece portion 61B and connection portion 63B) toward the upper finishing material 2bB and on which the cutout portion 22B of the upper finishing material 2bB is placed.

[0014] According to the invention described in claim 4, a notch 22B is formed in the lower end of the upper finishing material 2bB, and a bracket 6B is provided between the upper end of the lower finishing material 2aB and the lower end of the upper finishing material 2bB in the overlapping area 21B to connect the finishing materials 2aB and 2bB. The bracket 6B has an engagement portion (upper piece 61B and connecting portion 63B) that engages with the upper end of the lower finishing material 2aB, and a mounting portion (lower piece 62B) that protrudes from the engagement portion (upper piece 61B and connecting portion 63B) toward the upper finishing material 2bB and on which the notch 22B of the upper finishing material 2bB is placed. Therefore, the lower finishing material 2aB and the upper finishing material 2bB can be connected via the bracket 6B, preventing the finishing materials from shifting position. Furthermore, by changing the height H2 of the bracket 6B and the height H1 of the cutout 22B, the dimension H3 of the overlapping margin 21B can be easily adjusted. Therefore, simply by preparing multiple types of brackets 6B of different heights and finishing materials 2B with different heights of the cutout 22B, it is possible to easily accommodate various heights of the fitting body 1. Furthermore, the number of manufacturing processes and costs can be reduced.

[0015] The invention described in claim 5 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, in the fitting 101 described in claim 1, A plurality of the finishing materials 2 are stored in the storage space 4 in order from bottom to top.

[0016] According to the invention as set forth in claim 5, the finishing materials 2 are stored in the storage space 4 in order from bottom to top, making application easy.

[0017] The invention described in claim 6 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, in the fitting 101 described in claim 1, It is characterized by being used for an entrance door 100.

[0018] According to the invention described in claim 6, the door is used for the entrance door 100. For example, if the entrance door 100 is a steel door, the finishing material 2 can be made of a different material such as wood to create a fitting 101 with a wooden texture, resulting in excellent appearance quality. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a fitting that can easily be finished with an armored finish even on fitting bodies of various heights, and that can reduce the number of manufacturing steps and costs. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Features and technical effects of the embodiments will be understood from the following detailed description and drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below. The drawings are provided for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples in the drawings.

[0022] (1) First embodiment [Doors and fixtures] BACKGROUND ART Fittings are provided at entrance openings in various buildings such as houses, for example, and serve to open or close the entrance openings. The fittings described below are examples of applications to the main door of an entrance door, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a front view of an entrance door equipped with a fixture according to the first embodiment, as viewed from the outside of the room. As shown in FIG. 1, the entrance door 100 has a main door 101 and a sub-door 102. The fitting 101 and the sub-door 102 are arranged side by side inside the fitting frame 103. The fitting 101 and the sub-door 102 are each attached to the fitting frame 103 via multiple hinges 104. A plurality of hinges 104 are provided in the vertical direction between the fitting 101 and the fitting frame 103 and between the sub-door 102 and the fitting frame 103. This allows the fitting 101 and the sub-door 102 to rotate around the hinges 104, which serve as the rotation axis. In FIG. 1, the sub-door 102 has frosted glass 102a fitted inside, but this is not limited to this. Furthermore, although the sub-door 102 can be opened and closed by the hinges 104, it may be fixed so that it cannot be opened and closed.

[0024] 2 is an exploded side view of the fixture, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. The fitting 101 comprises a fitting body 1 and a finishing material 2 provided on the surface 11 of the fitting body 1. Here, the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 refers to the surface of the fitting body 1 facing the outside of the room. The back surface 12 of the fitting body 1 refers to the surface of the fitting body 1 facing the inside of the room. The side surface (left side surfaces 13L, 13R) of the fitting body 1 refers to the surface in the thickness direction of the fitting body 1, and is a surface that is approximately perpendicular to the surface 11 and the back surface 12.

[0025] <Main body of the fixture> The fitting body 1 is in the form of a long plate extending vertically. The fitting body 1 is preferably made of, for example, steel, aluminum, wood, etc. The fitting body 1 is generally L-shaped when viewed from above, as shown in FIG. 3. That is, on the front surface 11 of the fitting body 1, at a position opposite the sub-door 102, a recess 14 is formed that is recessed toward the back surface 12. The recess 14 is formed along the vertical direction of the fitting body 1. The finishing material 2 is placed in this recess 14. Furthermore, the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 on the side of the sub-door 102 forms a protrusion 15. This protrusion 15 is provided with a right outer frame portion 32R, which will be described later.

[0026] Two locks 91 are attached to the right outer frame portion 32R. In addition, a handle 92 that is held by a person when opening or closing the fitting 101 is attached between the two locks 91 on the right outer frame portion 32R. The latch bolt can be operated by, for example, pushing, pulling, or rotating the handle 92. The lock 91 and handle 92 are also attached to the back surface 12 of the fitting body 1, although not shown.

[0027] (frame) A frame portion 3 that covers the left side surface 13L and the right side surface 13R is attached to the left side surface 13L and the right side surface 13R of the fitting body 1. In FIG. 3, the frame portion 3 includes a left frame portion 3L and a right frame portion 3R.

[0028] The left frame portion 3L includes a left inner frame portion 31L and a left outer frame portion 32L. The left inner frame portion 31L and the left outer frame portion 32L are preferably formed integrally. The left inner frame portion 31L covers the left edge of the back surface 12 of the fitting body 1 to the left side surface 13L. The left outer frame portion 32L is provided continuously from the left inner frame portion 31L, protrudes from the left side surface 13L of the fitting body 1 to the outside of the room, and forms a storage space 4 in which the finishing material 2 is stored. The left outer frame portion 32L includes a hinge mounting portion 33L to which the hinge 104 is attached, and a locking portion 34L that locks onto the left edge of the surface of the finishing material 2 contained within the storage space 4. That is, the hinge mounting portion 33L is a portion that branches off so that the tip of the left outer frame portion 32L faces the hinge 104 side in a top view. The locking portion 34L is a portion that branches off so that the tip of the left outer frame portion 32L faces the recess 14 side, which is approximately 180 degrees opposite the hinge mounting portion 33L in a top view. The locking portion 34L is approximately parallel to the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 in a top view.

[0029] The right frame portion 3R includes a right inner frame portion 31R and a right outer frame portion 32R. The right inner frame portion 31R and the right outer frame portion 32R are preferably formed integrally. The right inner frame portion 32R covers the right edge portion of the back surface 12 of the fitting body 1 to the right side surface 13R. The right outer frame portion 32R is provided continuously from the right inner frame portion 31R, protrudes from the right side surface 13R to the outside of the room, and forms the storage space 4. The right outer frame portion 32R is equipped with a sub-door mounting portion 33R to which the sub-door 102 is attached, a protrusion covering portion 35R that covers the surface of the protrusion 15, and a locking portion 34R that locks onto the right edge of the surface of the finishing material 2 contained in the storage space 4. That is, the sub-door mounting portion 33R is a portion that branches off so that the tip of the right outer frame portion 32R faces the sub-door 102 side in a top view. The protrusion covering portion 35R is a portion that branches off so that the tip of the right outer frame portion 32R faces approximately 180 degrees away from the sub-door mounting portion 33R in a top view. The locking portion 34R is provided at the tip of the protrusion covering portion 35R and is approximately parallel to the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 in a top view.

[0030] By attaching the left frame portion 3L and the right frame portion 3R to the fitting body 1, a storage space 4 is formed, surrounded by the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 and the left outer frame portion 32L and the right outer frame portion 32R. The storage space 4 is long along the top and bottom of the fitting body 1, and a finishing material 2 is stored in the storage space 4. In addition, the locking portions 34L, 34R of the left frame portion 3L and the right frame portion 3R are locked to the surface side edges of the finishing material 2 stored in the storage space 4, thereby containing the finishing material 2 within the storage space 4 and preventing it from jumping out to the outside.

[0031] <Finishing materials> The finishing material 2 is preferably a plate made of wood, steel, aluminum, or the like. The finishing material 2 is a long plate extending from side to side. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper end surface of the finishing material 2 is a horizontal plane perpendicular to the front and back surfaces of the finishing material 2. The lower end surface of the finishing material 2 is an inclined surface. That is, the inclined surface slopes downward from the back surface side to the front surface side of the finishing material 2. Because the lower end surface of the finishing material 2 slopes downward from the back surface side to the front surface side, when the finishing material 2 is installed in a tiered configuration, the lower end of the front surface side of the lowest finishing material 2c can be positioned at the bottom of the storage space 4. Therefore, when the fitting 101 is viewed from outside the room, the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2c fits in well, creating a good appearance.

[0032] It is preferable that the multiple finishing materials 2 all have the same dimensions. These multiple finishing materials 2 are arranged in an armored manner along the vertical direction within the storage space 4. Armored siding is also called "clapboard siding" and is a type of building board installation method. Specifically, multiple finishing materials 2 are arranged vertically in multiple tiers within the storage space 4. Of the finishing materials 2 that are adjacent to each other vertically, the upper surface of the finishing material 2a in the lower tier is overlapped with the lower back surface of the finishing material 2b in the upper tier. This overlapping portion forms an overlapping margin 21. It is preferable for the overlapping margins 21 to all be the same in terms of appearance. Furthermore, each finishing material 2 is arranged with its upper end tilted toward the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 relative to its lower end. That is, in a side view, the finishing material 2 is arranged with its lower end facing the outside, and its upper end tilted toward the surface 11a that forms the recess 14. Here, a lowest-level spacer 7 is interposed between the back surface of the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2c and the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, i.e., between the back surface of the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2c and the surface 11a that forms the recess 14.

[0033] The bottom spacer 7 is in the form of a long rectangular plate extending along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the finishing material 2. The height h of the bottom spacer 7 in the up-down direction is smaller than the height of the finishing material 2. Therefore, by interposing the lowest spacer 7 between the back surface of the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2c and the surface 11a forming the recess 14, the upper end of the lowest finishing material 2c is tilted toward the surface 11 of the fixture body 1 (the surface 11a forming the recess 14) relative to the lower end. Changing the height h of the lowest spacer 7 can change the inclination angle θ of the lowest finishing material 2c relative to the surface 11a forming the recess 14. That is, in a side view, the inclination angle θ formed between the surface 11a forming the recess 14 and the back surface of the lowest finishing material 2c can be changed. Specifically, the higher the height h of the lowest spacer 7, the smaller the inclination angle θ can be. On the other hand, lowering the height h of the lowest spacer 7 can increase the inclination angle θ. The next finishing material 2 is then stored in the storage space 4 so that the lower back surface of the next finishing material 2 overlaps the upper surface of the bottommost finishing material 2c, and the next finishing material 2 is then stored in sequence. It is preferable that the finishing materials 2 are all stacked so that the inclination angle θ is the same. Furthermore, the upper back surfaces of the finishing materials 2 arranged in an armor-like manner are in contact with the surface 11a that forms the recess 14. This allows the finishing materials 2 to be accommodated without shifting.

[0034] In addition, the lowest spacer 7 may be provided in one position along the longitudinal direction of the finishing material 2, but this is not limited to this, and multiple spacers shorter in length than the lowest spacer 7 may be provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the finishing material 2.

[0035] [Method of manufacturing fittings] In the manufacturing method of the above-mentioned fitting 101, first, the lowest spacer 7 is attached to the lower end of the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 of the fitting body 1. The lowest spacer 7 is preferably attached using an adhesive or the like. Next, the left and right frame portions 3L and 3R are attached to the fixture body 1. The finishing materials 2 are then inserted into the storage space 4 formed by the left and right frame portions 3L and 3R and the surface 11a forming the recess 14, from bottom to top. Here, the lowest spacer 7 is attached to the lower end of the surface 11a forming the recess 14, so the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2c abuts the surface of the lowest spacer 7 and its upper end is tilted toward the surface 11a forming the recess 14. The lower back surface of the next finishing material 2 is then overlapped on the upper surface of the bottommost finishing material 2c thus arranged, and the finishing materials 2 are stacked in the same manner. While the finishing materials 2 can be secured together without gluing, it is preferable to use adhesive at the overlapping margin 21 for a more reliable fixation. After all of the finishing material 2 has been accommodated in the accommodation space 4, a cover member 5 is attached to the upper end of the fitting body 1. The cover member 5 is preferably fixed by driving nails N or the like.

[0036] It should be noted that the work of inserting each finishing material 2 into the accommodation space 4 is preferably carried out in a factory or the like with the fitting body 1 laid on its side, for ease of operation.

[0037] (2) Second embodiment [Doors and fixtures] Fig. 4 is an exploded side view of the fittings in the second embodiment, and Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in Fig. 4. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. The fitting 101A in the second embodiment is taller than the fitting 101 in the first embodiment. That is, the fitting body 1A in the second embodiment is taller than the fitting body 1 in the first embodiment. That is, by making the height h of the lowest spacer 7A lower than the height h of the lowest spacer 7 in the first embodiment, each finishing material 2 accommodated in the accommodation space 4 is arranged so that the inclination angle θ with respect to the surface 11a forming the recess 14 is small. Here, as the inclination angle θ of each finishing material 2 becomes smaller, a gap S is formed between the upper back surface of each finishing material 2 and the surface 11a forming the recess 14 (see FIG. 5). Therefore, in order to fill this gap S, an adjustment spacer 8A is attached to the surface 11a forming the recess.

[0038] The adjustment spacer 8A is a thin, vertically elongated member, and its vertical height is approximately equal to the height of the fitting body 1A. One adjustment spacer 8A may be provided over the entire surface 11a that forms the recess 14, or multiple adjustment spacers 8A may be provided at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction on the surface 11a that forms the recess 14. In FIG. 5, one adjustment spacer 8A is provided on each of the left and right sides of the surface 11a that forms the recess 14. As described above, the adjustment spacer 8A is attached to the surface 11a that forms the recess 14, and the upper back surface of each finishing material 2 abuts against this adjustment spacer 8A. By providing the adjustment spacer 8A in this way, each finishing material 2 contained in the storage space 4 is fixed in a predetermined position without shifting.

[0039] As described above, when using a fitting 101A that is taller than the fitting 101 of the first embodiment, by lowering the height h of the lowest spacer 7A and providing an adjustment spacer 8A, each finishing material 2 contained in the storage space 4 is arranged so that the inclination angle θ with respect to the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 is small. As a result, the overlapping margin 21A between adjacent finishing materials 2 above and below is smaller than the overlapping margin 21 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the overall height of the finishing materials 2 arranged in an armor-like manner is increased.

[0040] When using fittings that are lower in height than the fitting 101 of the first embodiment, the height h of the lowest spacer 7 is increased (not shown), so that the angle of inclination θ of each finishing material 2 contained in the storage space 4 relative to the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 increases. This increases the overlapping margin 21, and reduces the overall height of the finishing materials 2 that are arranged in an armor-like manner.

[0041] [Method of manufacturing fittings] In the manufacturing method of the above fitting 101A, first, an adjusting spacer 8A is attached to the surface 11a of the fitting body 1A that forms the recess 14. It is preferable to use an adhesive or the like to attach the adjusting spacer 8A. Next, the lowest spacer 7A is attached to the lower end of the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 of the fitting body 1A. Next, the left frame portion 3L and the right frame portion 3R are attached to the fitting body 1A. Then, the finishing material 2 is inserted sequentially from bottom to top into the storage space 4 formed by the left frame portion 3L, the right frame portion 3R and the surface 11a forming the recess 14, in the same manner as in the manufacturing method of the fitting 101 of the first embodiment. After all of the finishing material 2 has been accommodated in the storage space 4, a cover member 5 is attached to the upper end of the fitting body 1A. The cover member 5 is preferably fixed by driving nails N or the like.

[0042] (3) Third embodiment [Doors and fixtures] Fig. 6 is an exploded side view of the fittings in the third embodiment, and Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is an enlarged view of the overlapping area in Fig. 6. Note that in the third embodiment, components similar to those in the first embodiment are designated by similar reference numerals and their description will be omitted. In the second embodiment, the dimension of the overlapping space 21A was adjusted using the lowest spacer 7A and the adjustment spacer 8A, but in the third embodiment, the dimension of the overlapping space 21B is adjusted using the lowest spacer 7 and the bracket 6B.

[0043] Fig. 9 is a schematic perspective view of the bracket. Fig. 10 is a schematic perspective view showing the bracket attached to the upper end of the lower finishing material. The bracket 6B is generally Z-shaped in side view. That is, the bracket 6B includes an upper piece 61B and a lower piece 62B that are spaced apart and generally parallel to each other, and a connecting portion 63B that connects the ends of the upper piece 61B and the lower piece 62B together. The upper piece 61B and the lower piece 62B are arranged horizontally. The opposing side ends of the upper piece 61B and the lower piece 62B are connected by a connecting portion 63B. The connecting portion 63B is approximately perpendicular to the upper piece 61B and the lower piece 62B. Such a bracket 6B is attached to the overlapping space 21B of vertically adjacent finishing materials 2B. The upper piece 61B and the connecting portion 63B of the bracket 6B are engagement portions that engage with the upper end of the lower finishing material 2aB. The lower piece 62B is a placement portion on which the notched portion 22B of the upper finishing material 2bB is placed.

[0044] The finishing material 2B is a plate-like member that is long in the left-right direction. At the bottom end of the finishing material 2B, notches 22B are formed by cutting out the left and right corners into rectangular plate shapes. When the height H2 of the bracket 6B is X mm, the height H1 of the cutout 22B is preferably set to a value obtained by subtracting X mm from the dimension H3 of the overlapping margin 21B. Note that the dimension H3 of the overlapping margin 21B refers to the height from the upper end of the lower finishing material 2aB to the lower end of the upper finishing material 2bB when the overlapping margin 21B is viewed from outside the room.

[0045] The vertically adjacent finishing pieces housed within the storage space 4 are fitted together such that the upper end of the lower finishing piece 2aB is engaged with the upper piece 61B and the connecting piece 63B of the bracket 6B. The lower piece 62B of the bracket 6B is fitted with the notched portion 22B of the upper finishing piece 2bB. The back surface of the connecting piece 63B of the bracket 6B abuts against the front surface of the lower finishing piece 2aB, and the front surface abuts against the back surface of the upper finishing piece 2bB. In this way, the finishing materials adjacent to each other vertically are accommodated in the accommodation space 4 by the brackets 6B so as not to be displaced from each other.

[0046] Here, by adjusting the height H2 of the bracket 6B, i.e., the height H2 of the connecting portion 63B, and the height H1 of the notch 22B of the finishing material 2B, the inclination angle θ of each finishing material 2B accommodated in the accommodation space 4 with respect to the surface 11a forming the recess 14 can be adjusted. Specifically, by lowering the height H2 of the connecting portion 63B of the bracket 6B and the height H1 of the notch 22B of the finishing material 2B, the overlapping margin 21B is reduced. In other words, the dimension H3 of the overlapping margin 21B is reduced. As a result, the overall height of the finishing material 2B arranged in an armor-like manner is increased.

[0047] If the height of the fitting is lower than that of the fitting 101B shown in Figure 6, the height H2 of the connecting portion 63B of the bracket 6B is increased, and the height H1 of the notch 22B of the finishing material 2B is increased, which increases the overlapping margin 21B. In other words, the dimension H3 of the overlapping margin 21B becomes larger. This reduces the overall height of the finishing material 2B arranged in an armor-like manner.

[0048] When viewed from outside the room, the cutout 22B of the finishing material 2B and the bracket 6B attached to said cutout 22B are covered by the respective locking portions 34L, 34R of the left frame portion 3L and the right frame portion 31R and are therefore not visible.

[0049] [Method of manufacturing fittings] In the manufacturing method of the above fitting 101B, first, the bottom spacer 7 is attached to the lower end of the surface 11a that forms the recess 14 of the fitting body 1. The bottom spacer 7 is preferably attached using an adhesive or the like. Next, the left frame portion 3L and the right frame portion 3R are attached to the fixture main body 1. Then, the finishing material 2B is inserted from bottom to top into the storage space 4 formed by the left frame portion 3L, the right frame portion 3R and the surface 11a forming the recess 14. Here, because the lowest spacer 7 is attached to the lower end of the surface 11a forming the recess 14, the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2cB is abutted against the surface of the lowest spacer 7, and the upper end is positioned tilted toward the surface 11a forming the recess 14. The upper piece portion 61B and the connecting portion 63B of the bracket 6B are engaged with the upper end of the lowest finishing material 2cB thus positioned. Next, the notch 22B formed in the lower end of the next finishing material 2B is placed on the lower piece 62B of the bracket 6B. This causes the lower back surface of the next finishing material 2B to be overlapped on the upper surface of the bottommost finishing material 2cB. In the same manner, the brackets 6B are engaged sequentially, and the finishing materials 2B are overlapped. Although the finishing materials 2B can be fixed to each other without adhesive, it is preferable to use an adhesive or the like to bond the contact surfaces of the bracket 6B and each finishing material 2B together, as this allows for more reliable fixation. After all of the finishing material 2B has been accommodated in the accommodation space 4, a cover member 5 is attached to the upper end of the fitting body 1. The cover member 5 is preferably fixed by driving nails N or the like.

[0050] According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are achieved. The fitting 101 is a fitting 101 in which a finishing material 2 is provided on the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, and is equipped with a frame portion 3 that is provided on the left side 13L and right side 13R of the fitting body 1 and extends outward from the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, and a plurality of finishing materials 2 that are arranged in an armor-like manner along the vertical direction of the fitting body 1 within a storage space 4 surrounded by the frame portion 3 and the surface 11 of the fitting body 1, and in the finishing materials 2 that are adjacent to each other vertically, the upper surface of the lower finishing material 2a is overlapped with the lower back surface of the upper finishing material 2b, thereby providing an overlapping margin 21. Therefore, by storing a plurality of finishing materials 2 in an armor-like manner along the vertical direction within the storage space 4, fitting 101 with an excellent armor-finished appearance can be easily manufactured. Furthermore, by adjusting the dimensions of the overlapping space 21 and accommodating the finishing material 2, the overall height of the armored and arranged finishing material 2 can be changed, making it easy to accommodate fittings 1 of various heights. For example, at a construction site, the dimensions of the overlapping space 21 can be adjusted according to the height of the fitting body 1 and the finishing material 2 can be attached. Furthermore, there is no need to prepare multiple types of finishing materials 2 with different heights, and finishing materials 2 of the same dimensions can be used, which reduces the number of manufacturing steps and costs.

[0051] Within the storage space 4, multiple finishing materials 2 are arranged with their upper ends tilted toward the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 relative to their lower ends. A lowest-level spacer 7 is provided between the back surface of the lower end of the lowest finishing material 2c and the surface 11a of the fitting body 1. By changing the height h of the lowest-level spacer 7, the tilt angle θ of the finishing material 2 relative to the surface 11 of the fitting body 1 can be changed. By changing the tilt angle θ, the size of the overlapping margin 21 can also be changed, and the overall height of the finished materials 2 arranged in a tiered manner can also be changed. As a result, it is easy to accommodate various heights of the fitting body 1. Furthermore, it is only necessary to prepare a plurality of types of bottom spacers 7 with different heights, which reduces the number of manufacturing steps and costs compared to when a plurality of types of finishing materials 2 with different heights are prepared.

[0052] Furthermore, an adjustment spacer 8A extending in the vertical direction of the fitting body 1A is provided on the surface 11 of the fitting body 1A, and the rear surfaces of the upper ends of the plurality of finishing materials 2 abut against the adjustment spacer 8A, so that the adjustment spacer 8A can adjust the gap between the rear surfaces of the upper ends of the finishing materials 2 and the surface of the fitting body 1A. Therefore, each finishing material 2 is reliably accommodated in the accommodation space 4 without misalignment.

[0053] A notch 22B is formed at the lower end of the upper finishing material 2bB, and a bracket 6B is provided between the upper end of the lower finishing material 2aB and the lower end of the upper finishing material 2bB in the overlapping area 21B to connect the finishing materials 2aB and 2bB. The bracket 6B has an engagement portion (upper piece 61B and connection portion 63B) that engages with the upper end of the lower finishing material 2aB, and a mounting portion (lower piece 62B) that protrudes from the engagement portion (upper piece 61B and connection portion 63B) toward the upper finishing material 2bB and on which the notch 22B of the upper finishing material 2bB is placed. Therefore, the lower finishing material 2aB and the upper finishing material 2bB can be connected via the bracket 6B, preventing the finishing materials from shifting position. Furthermore, by changing the height H2 of the bracket 6B and the height H1 of the cutout 22B, the dimension H3 of the overlapping margin 21B can be easily adjusted. Therefore, simply by preparing multiple types of brackets 6B of different heights and finishing materials 2B with different heights of the cutout 22B, it is possible to easily accommodate various heights of the fitting body 1. Furthermore, the number of manufacturing processes and costs can be reduced.

[0054] The finishing materials 2 are stored in the storage space 4 in order from bottom to top, making application easy. Furthermore, when the fitting 101 is used for the entrance door 100, for example, if the entrance door 100 is made of steel, the finishing material 2 can be made of a different material such as wood, making the fitting 101 have a wood-like texture and excellent appearance quality.

[0055] [Variation] It should be noted that the embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Modifications will be described below. The following modifications may be combined as much as possible. In each of the following modifications, elements common to the above-described embodiments will be assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted or simplified.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the number of finishing materials 2 (2A, 2B) was described as five, but the number of finishing materials 2 (2A, 2B) is not limited to this, and can be changed as appropriate, such as nine finishing materials 2C as in the fitting 101C shown in Figure 11. In this case, although not shown, the overlapping margin can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the bottom spacer, the thickness of the adjustment spacer, the height of the bracket, and the height of the cutout part of the finishing material according to the height of the fitting body. In the above embodiment, the multiple finishing materials 2 (2A, 2B) are made of the same material, but multiple types of finishing materials may be used to create a different texture. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the dimensions of the overlapping margins 21 (21A, 21B) in one fitting 101 (101A, 101B) are all the same, but they may be different.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the fittings are applied to the main door of the entrance, but they may also be applied to a normal entrance door consisting of a single door without a sub-door. Furthermore, they are not limited to entrance doors, and may also be applied to interior fittings, back door fittings, etc.

[0058] In recent years, there has been a demand for a carbon-neutral society, which essentially reduces carbon dioxide emissions to zero, and for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in this context, the construction industry is also working to use wooden buildings, which have lower carbon dioxide emissions. By using wooden detached houses as the buildings in which the above fittings are installed, it is possible to contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society, which promotes carbon neutrality, and to the achievement of the SDGs.
