Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a frame body and a building. [Background technology]

[0002] Architectural openings such as windows and doors are provided in the walls of a building (for example, Patent Document 1). Screen doors are provided in the architectural openings. The screen doors are attached to a frame that is placed in the architectural opening. A frame to which the screen doors are attached is fixed to the frame. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-10578 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when the frame of the screen door is fixed to the inside of the frame body, the opening area of ​​the opening where the screen door is installed is reduced. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (1) A frame that solves the above problem is a frame that is placed in an architectural opening in the wall of a building and in which a screen door is installed, and comprises a first vertical member extending in the vertical direction, a second vertical member that is placed parallel to the first vertical member, and an upper member that connects the upper end of the first vertical member to the upper end of the second vertical member, and the first vertical member has a first recess that opens in a first direction from the first vertical member toward the second vertical member and accommodates at least a part of the vertical frame of the screen door, and a second recess that opens in a second direction opposite to the first direction and accommodates the end of an interior wall panel of the wall.

[0006] With this configuration, at least a portion of the vertical frame of the screen door is housed in the first recess of the first vertical member, thereby reducing the visible width of the vertical frame of the screen door at the architectural opening. Furthermore, because the end of the interior member is housed in the second recess, the end of the interior member can be hidden. Therefore, the end of the interior wall panel can be hidden, and a reduction in the opening area of ​​the opening where the screen door is to be installed, caused by the vertical frame of the frame for mounting the screen door on the frame body, can be suppressed.

[0007] (2) In the frame body described in (1) above, the first vertical member has a first portion extending in the first direction, a second portion extending from an end of the first portion in the second direction toward an interior direction from the outside of the building toward the inside of the building, and a third portion extending from an end of the second portion in the interior direction toward the first direction, and the first recess is formed by the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion.

[0008] With this configuration, at least a portion of the vertical frame of the screen door is sandwiched between the first and second portions in the direction toward the interior of the room, so that at least a portion of the vertical frame of the screen door can be hidden by the first and third portions.

[0009] (3) In the frame body described in (2) above, the first vertical member has a fourth portion extending from the end of the third portion in the first direction toward the room interior, and a fifth portion extending from the end of the fourth portion in the room interior toward the second direction, and the second recess is formed by the third portion, the fourth portion, and the fifth portion.

[0010] According to this configuration, the end of the interior wall panel is sandwiched between the third portion and the fifth portion in the direction toward the interior of the room, and therefore the end of the interior member can be hidden by the third portion and the fifth portion.

[0011] (4) In the frame body described in (3) above, the first vertical member comprises a first member having the first portion and the second portion, and a second member having the third portion, the fourth portion, and the fifth portion.

[0012] According to this configuration, the first vertical member is formed by combining the first member and the second member. By providing the first member and the second member separately, each member can be made smaller than when the first vertical member is formed from a single member, thereby improving the workability of the first vertical member.

[0013] (5) In the frame body described in (3) or (4) above, the end face of the third portion facing the first direction is positioned at a position shifted in the first direction from the end face of the first portion facing the first direction.

[0014] When viewing the opening from inside the room, the end face of the third part facing the first direction is the inner edge of the first vertical member. With the above configuration, the end face of the third part facing the first direction is positioned offset in the first direction from the end face of the first part facing the first direction, and therefore the first recess is positioned offset in the second direction from the end face of the third part facing the first direction. Because the third part overlaps the first recess toward the room, the third part makes it difficult to see the portion of the vertical frame of the screen door that is positioned in the first recess from inside the room.

[0015] (6) In the frame body described in (5) above, the end face of the fifth portion facing the second direction is positioned at a position shifted in the first direction from the end face of the first portion facing the first direction.

[0016] When the opening is viewed from inside the room, the end face of the fifth portion facing the second direction is the outer edge of the first vertical member. With the above configuration, the end face of the fifth portion facing the second direction is positioned more offset in the first direction than the end face of the first portion facing the first direction, so that the first recess can be hidden when viewed from inside the room.

[0017] (7) In the frame body described in any one of (1) to (6) above, the second vertical member has a third recess that opens in the second direction and a fourth recess that opens in the first direction, and a reference line that is perpendicular to the first direction in a planar view and passes through the middle between the first vertical member and the second vertical member is defined, and the third recess has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the first recess with respect to the reference line in a planar view, and the fourth recess has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the second recess with respect to the reference line in a planar view.

[0018] According to this configuration, the third recess has a structure that is symmetrical to the first recess with respect to the reference line, so the opening of the first recess and the opening of the third recess overlap in the horizontal direction in a side view. This allows a screen door to be placed between the opening of the first recess and the opening of the third recess. Furthermore, the fourth recess has a structure that is symmetrical to the second recess with respect to the reference line, so the opening of the second recess and the opening of the fourth recess overlap in the horizontal direction in a side view. This allows the fourth recess to also accommodate the end of the interior wall panel.

[0019] (8) A building that solves the above problem is a building having an interior, comprising a wall having an architectural opening that connects the outside of the building with the interior of the building, a frame body described in any one of (1) to (7) above, and a screen door attached to the frame body, and the frame body is placed in the architectural opening.

[0020] This configuration can prevent a reduction in the opening area in the wall of the building. [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] According to the frame body and building of the present disclosure, it is possible to suppress a reduction in the opening area of ​​a building opening caused by the vertical frame of a screen door being attached to the frame body. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0049] The top surface of the third portion 55 of the second member 50B is flush with the top surface of the upper member 70. The top surface of the fourth portion 56 is lower than the top surfaces of the third portion 55 and the fifth portion 57. In other words, a recess 59 is formed in the top surface of the second member 50B, with the fourth portion 56 serving as its bottom surface. The recess 59 in the top surface of the second member 50B is continuous with the second recess 52.

[0050] <Second vertical member> 2, the second vertical member 60 includes a third member 60A and a fourth member 60B. The fourth member 60B is disposed parallel to the third member 60A. The third member 60A and the fourth member 60B may be joined together by adhesive or by joining members such as screws or nails.

[0051] The second vertical member 60 has a third recess 61 and a fourth recess 62. The third recess 61 opens in the second direction A2. The fourth recess 62 opens in the first direction A1. The third recess 61 and the fourth recess 62 are grooves extending in the up-down direction X2.

[0052] In a plan view, a reference line RL is defined that is perpendicular to the first direction A1 and passes through the middle between the first vertical member 50 and the second vertical member 60. The second vertical member 60 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the first vertical member 50 with respect to the reference line RL in a plan view. That is, the third recess 61 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the first recess 51 with respect to the reference line RL in a plan view. The fourth recess 62 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the second recess 52 with respect to the reference line RL in a plan view.

[0053] The third recess 61 accommodates the support member 26 that supports the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 on the frame body 40. In this embodiment, the support member 26 supports the second vertical screen door frame 22, which serves as the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20, on the frame body 40. The second vertical screen door frame 22 is attached to the support member 26 with a fixing member. The support member 26 is fitted into the third recess 61. The support member 26 may be joined to the third recess 61 with an adhesive, or may be joined with a joining member such as a screw or nail. The third recess 61 may accommodate at least a portion of the second vertical screen door frame 22, which serves as the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20.

[0054] The fourth recess 62 accommodates the end portion 13B of the interior wall panel 13. The end portion 13B includes, for example, an end surface of the interior wall panel 13 that faces the second direction A2.

[0055] <Upper member> 3, a fifth recess 71 that accommodates the end portion 13C of the interior wall panel 13 is provided on the upper surface of the upper member 70. The end portion 13C of the interior wall panel 13 includes, for example, an end surface of the interior wall panel 13 that faces downward.

[0056] The upper end of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 is fixed to the underside of the upper member 70. In the example of Fig. 3, the upper end of the second vertical screen door frame 22 serving as the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 is fixed to the underside of the upper member 70 by a fixing member. The upper window frame 33 of the window 30 is also fixed to the upper member 70. In this embodiment, the upper window frame 33 of the window 30 is fixed to the underside of the upper member 70 by a fixing member.

[0057] As shown in Figure 4, the first vertical member 50 and the upper member 70 are joined together by engaging an upper end of the first vertical member 50 with one end of the upper member 70 in the second direction A2. The first vertical member 50 and the upper member 70 may be joined together with an adhesive or with a fastening member such as a screw or nail. The fifth recess 71 is continuous with the recess 59 on the upper surface of the second member 50B. That is, the recess 59 on the upper surface of the second member 50B can also accommodate the end 13C of the interior wall panel 13 (see Figure 3).

[0058] <Operation of this embodiment> The first function of this embodiment will be described. The first recess 51 of the first vertical member 50 accommodates at least a portion of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20. Therefore, compared to a conventional frame body having a flat inner surface in which the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 is directly attached to the inner surface of the frame body, the vertical frame 20A is disposed in the second direction A2.

[0059] A second function of this embodiment will be described. The second recess 52 of the first vertical member 50 accommodates the end 13A of the interior wall panel 13. Therefore, the end 13A of the interior wall panel 13 is hidden by the first vertical member 50, improving the workability and design of the interior wall panel 13.

[0060] <Effects of this embodiment> The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The frame body 40 is placed in the architectural opening 12 of the wall 11 of the building 10. The screen door 20 is attached to the frame body 40. The frame body 40 includes a first vertical member 50, a second vertical member 60, and an upper member 70. The first vertical member 50 extends in the vertical direction X2. The second vertical member 60 is arranged parallel to the first vertical member 50. The upper member 70 connects the upper end of the first vertical member 50 to the upper end of the second vertical member 60. The first vertical member 50 has a first recess 51 and a second recess 52. The first recess 51 opens in a first direction A1 from the first vertical member 50 toward the second vertical member 60. The first recess 51 accommodates at least a portion of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20. The second recess 52 opens in a second direction A2 opposite to the first direction A1. The second recess 52 accommodates an end 13A of the interior wall panel 13 of the wall 11.

[0061] With this configuration, at least a portion of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 is housed in the first recess 51 of the first vertical member 50, thereby reducing the visible width of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 at the architectural opening 12. Furthermore, the end 13A of the interior wall panel 13 is housed in the second recess 52, thereby making it possible to conceal the end 13A of the interior wall panel 13. Therefore, not only can the end 13A of the interior wall panel 13 be concealed, but also a reduction in the opening area of ​​the opening 25 in which the screen door 20 is to be installed due to the vertical frame 20A of the frame for installing the screen door 20 on the frame body 40 can be suppressed.

[0062] (2) The first vertical member 50 has a first portion 53, a second portion 54, and a third portion 55. The first portion 53 extends in a first direction A1. The second portion 54 extends from an end of the first portion 53 in the second direction A2 toward an indoor direction B1 from the outdoor portion 10Y toward the indoor portion 10X of the building 10. The third portion 55 extends in the first direction A1 from an end of the second portion 54 in the indoor direction B1. The first recess 51 is constituted by the first portion 53, the second portion 54, and the third portion 55.

[0063] With this configuration, at least a portion of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 is sandwiched between the first portion 53 and the second portion 54 in the indoor direction B1. Therefore, at least a portion of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 can be hidden by the first portion 53 and the third portion 55.

[0064] (3) The first vertical member 50 has a fourth portion 56 and a fifth portion 57. The fourth portion 56 extends from an end of the third portion 55 in the first direction A1 toward the room's interior direction B1. The fifth portion 57 extends from an end of the fourth portion 56 in the room's interior direction B1 toward the second direction A2. The second recess 52 is formed by the third portion 55, the fourth portion 56, and the fifth portion 57.

[0065] According to this configuration, the end 13A of the interior wall panel 13 is sandwiched between the third portion 55 and the fifth portion 57 in the room-inside direction B1. Therefore, the end 13A of the interior wall panel 13 can be hidden by the third portion 55 and the fifth portion 57.

[0066] (4) The first vertical member 50 includes a first member 50A and a second member 50B. The first member 50A includes a first portion 53 and a second portion 54. The second member 50B includes a third portion 55, a fourth portion 56, and a fifth portion 57.

[0067] According to this configuration, the first vertical member 50 is formed by combining the first member 50A and the second member 50B. By providing the first member 50A and the second member 50B separately, each member can be made smaller than when the first vertical member 50 is formed from a single member, thereby improving the workability of the first vertical member 50.

[0068] (5) The end surface 55a of the third portion 55 facing the first direction A1 is positioned at a position shifted in the first direction A1 from the end surface 53a of the first portion 53 facing the first direction A1.

[0069] When the opening 25 is viewed from inside the room 10X, the end face 55a of the third portion 55 is the inner edge of the first vertical member 50. According to the above configuration, the end face 55a of the third portion 55 is positioned offset in the first direction A1 from the end face 53a of the first portion 53, and therefore the first recess 51 is positioned offset in the second direction A2 from the end face 55a of the third portion 55. Because the third portion 55 overlaps the first recess 51 in the room direction B1, the third portion 55 makes it difficult to see the portion of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20 that is positioned in the first recess 51 from inside the room 10X.

[0070] (6) The end surface 57b of the fifth portion 57 facing the second direction A2 is positioned at a position shifted in the first direction A1 from the end surface 53a of the first portion 53 facing the first direction A1.

[0071] When the opening 25 is viewed from inside the room 10X, the end face 57b of the fifth portion 57 is the outer edge of the first vertical member 50. According to the above configuration, the end face 57b of the fifth portion 57 is positioned offset in the first direction A1 from the end face 53a of the first portion 53, and therefore the first recess 51 can be hidden when viewed from inside the room 10X.

[0072] (7) The second vertical member 60 has a third recess 61 and a fourth recess 62. The third recess 61 opens in the second direction A2. The fourth recess 62 opens in the first direction A1. A reference line RL is defined that is perpendicular to the first direction A1 and passes through the middle between the first vertical member 50 and the second vertical member 60 in a plan view. The third recess 61 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the first recess 51 with respect to the reference line RL in a plan view. The fourth recess 62 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the second recess 52 with respect to the reference line RL in a plan view.

[0073] According to this configuration, the third recess 61 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the first recess 51 with respect to the reference line RL, so the opening of the first recess 51 and the opening of the third recess 61 overlap in the lateral direction X1 in side view. Therefore, the screen door 20 can be placed between the opening of the first recess 51 and the opening of the third recess 61. Furthermore, the fourth recess 62 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the second recess 52 with respect to the reference line RL, so the opening of the second recess 52 and the opening of the fourth recess 62 overlap in the lateral direction X1 in side view. Therefore, the end portion 13B of the interior wall panel 13 can also be accommodated in the fourth recess 62.

[0074] (8) The building 10 comprises a wall 11, a screen door 20, and a frame 40. The wall 11 has a building opening 12 that connects an outside room 10Y and an inside room 10X of the building 10. The screen door 20 is attached to the frame 40. The frame 40 is provided in the building opening 12. According to this configuration, the reduction in the opening area in the wall 11 of the building 10 can be suppressed.

[0075] <Modification> The above-described embodiment is an example of the form that the building 10 and the frame 40 can take, and is not intended to limit the form. The building 10 and the frame 40 can take a form different from the form exemplified in the above-described embodiment. Examples of such a form include a form in which part of the configuration of the embodiment is replaced, modified, or omitted, or a form in which a new configuration is added to the embodiment. Modified examples of the embodiment are shown below.

[0076] In the embodiment, the first recess 51 is configured by the first portion 53, the second portion 54, and the third portion 55, but the first recess 51 is not limited to this example as long as it can accommodate at least a part of the vertical frame 20A of the screen door 20. The first recess 51 of this modification may be penetrated in the second direction A2.

[0077] In the embodiment, the second recess 52 is configured by the third portion 55, the fourth portion 56, and the fifth portion 57, but is not limited to this example as long as the second recess 52 can accommodate the end portion 13A of the interior wall panel 13. The second recess 52 of this modification may be penetrated in the first direction A1.

[0078] In the embodiment, the first member 50A has the first portion 53 and the second portion 54, and the second member 50B has the third portion 55, the fourth portion 56, and the fifth portion 57, but the number of members and the configuration of each member can be changed as desired. For example, the first portion 53 to the fifth portion 57 may be formed of a single member. Alternatively, only the first portion 53 may be formed of a single member, and the second member 50B to the fifth portion 57 may be formed of another single member. Alternatively, the first portion 53 to the fifth portion 57 may each be formed of a different member.

[0079] In the embodiment, the second recess 52 is located closer to the room 10X than the first recess 51 in the indoor direction B1, but the first recess 51 may be located closer to the room 10X than the second recess 52. In this modification, the screen door 20 may be located closer to the room 10X than the interior wall panel 13 in the indoor direction B1.

[0080] In the embodiment, the bottom surface of the first recess 51 is disposed so as to be shifted in the first direction A1 from the bottom surface of the second recess 52, but the bottom surface of the first recess 51 may be disposed at the same position in the first direction A1 as the bottom surface of the second recess 52. Also, the bottom surface of the first recess 51 may be disposed so as to be shifted in the second direction A2 from the bottom surface of the second recess 52.

[0081] In the embodiment, the second vertical member 60 has a structure that is line-symmetrical to the first vertical member 50 with respect to the reference line RL in a plan view. However, at least a portion of the second vertical member 60 does not have to be line-symmetrical to the first vertical member 50. For example, as long as the second vertical member 60 has the third recess 61 and the fourth recess 62, the cross section of the second vertical member 60 may be different from the cross section of the first vertical member 50.

[0082] The third recess 61 and the fourth recess 62 may be omitted from the second vertical member 60.

[0083] In the embodiment, the architectural opening 12 is described as a window through which a person can move from the indoors 10X to the outdoors 10Y, but the architectural opening 12 may be configured as a small window. In this modification, the frame 40 may include a lower member that connects the lower ends of the first vertical member 50 and the second vertical member 60.
