Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to screen doors. [Background technology]

[0002] When opening a sliding window in a house or similar and using a screen to prevent insects from getting in, the inner screen is moved to the side where it overlaps with the outer screen to open the opening, and the screen is placed in the open area. By doing this, the vertical stile of the screen overlaps with the outdoor side of the vertical stile of the outer screen, reducing the gap between the screen and the screen, preventing insects from getting in through the gap between them.

[0003] Depending on the residential environment, such as the relative position of neighboring houses, the placement of indoor furniture, and security, it may be difficult to arrange screen doors as described above. Patent Document 1 discloses a screen door that covers the entire opening. The vertical frame of the screen door disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with a gap filling plate that slides widthwise and closes the gap between the vertical frame fixed to the main body.

The screen rail 211a of the upper frame 211 is inserted into the recess 314. A mohair 315 protruding indoors is attached to the tip of the outdoor rib 312. The mohair 315 is provided over the entire length of the upper frame 31, i.e., the entire width of the upper frame 31. The mohair 315 is a member that fills the gap between the upper frame 31 and the upper frame 211.

[0014] The bottom frame 32 has a mesh mounting portion 321, an outdoor rib 322, and an indoor rib 323. The mesh 4 is attached to the mesh mounting portion 321. The outdoor rib 322 extends downward from the outdoor end of the lower end of the mesh mounting portion 321. The indoor rib 323 extends downward from the indoor end of the lower end of the mesh mounting portion 321. The outdoor rib 322 and the indoor rib 323 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart in the indoor-outdoor direction. The bottom frame 32 has a recess 324 that opens downward and is surrounded by the upper end surface of the mesh mounting portion 321, the outdoor rib 322, and the indoor rib 323. The screen rail 212a of the bottom frame 212 is inserted into the recess 324. A mohair 325 that protrudes indoors is attached to the tip of the outdoor rib 322. The mohair 325 is provided over the entire length of the lower frame 32, i.e., the entire width of the lower frame 32. The mohair 325 is a member that fills the gap between the lower frame 32 and the lower frame 212.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 4, the first vertical stile 33 has a mesh material mounting portion 35, a movable portion 6, a pressing portion 7, and a locking portion 8. The mesh material mounting portion 35 has a mesh material mounting body 36, a mesh material mounting chamber outer rib 37, and a mesh material mounting chamber inner rib 38. The mesh material mounting body 36 is attached to the mesh material 4. The mesh material mounting chamber outer rib 37 extends outward in the width direction from one widthwise side of the mesh material mounting body 36, i.e., the outdoor end of the outer widthwise end. The mesh material mounting chamber inner rib 38 extends outward in the width direction from the indoor end of the outer widthwise end of the mesh material mounting body 36. The mesh material mounting chamber inner rib 38 has mohair 381 protruding toward the indoor side. The mohair 381 is provided along the entire length of the first vertical stile 33, i.e., the entire vertical direction. The mohair 381 comes into contact with the outdoor surface of the frame of the outer shoji screen 22. See Figure 2 for the outer shoji screen 22. The outer rib 37 of the mesh material mounting room and the inner rib 38 of the mesh material mounting room are arranged parallel to each other with a gap in the indoor / outdoor direction. The mesh material mounting portion 35 has a mesh material mounting recess 39 that opens downward and is surrounded by the outer end face 36a of the mesh material mounting portion main body 36 in the width direction, the outer rib 37 of the mesh material mounting room, and the inner rib 38 of the mesh material mounting room. The movable portion 6 and the pressing portion 7 are arranged in the mesh material mounting recess 39. The outer end face 36a of the mesh material mounting portion main body 36 in the width direction is a flat surface facing outward in the width direction.

[0016] The widthwise dimension of the outer rib 37 of the net material mounting room and the inner rib 38 of the net material mounting room are approximately the same value. The tip 37a of the outer rib 37 of the net material mounting room and the tip 38a of the inner rib 38 of the net material mounting room are positioned so that they overlap in the indoor-outdoor direction. The dimension from the tip 38a of the inner rib 38 of the net material mounting room of the first vertical frame 33 to the tip 38a of the inner rib 38 of the second vertical frame 34 is smaller than the dimension from the tip 213c of the screen rail 213a of the first vertical frame 213 to the tip 214c of the screen rail 214a of the second vertical frame 214.

[0017] The movable part 6 is movable from a stored position housed in the net material mounting portion recess 39 shown in Fig. 5 to a protruding position where it protrudes from the net material mounting portion recess 39 shown in Fig. 4 and is laterally outward of the tips of the net material mounting chamber outer rib 37 and the net material mounting chamber inner rib 38. At least the inner width portion of the movable part 6 in the stored position is housed in the net material mounting portion recess 39. At least the outer width portion of the movable part 6 in the protruding position protrudes laterally outward of the tips of the net material mounting chamber outer rib 37 and the net material mounting chamber inner rib 38.

[0018] The movable section 6 has a C-shaped vertical cross section that opens outward in the width direction. The movable section 6 has a movable section inner plate section 61, a movable room outer rib 62, and a movable room inner rib 63. The movable section inner plate section 61 is located at the bottom of the C-shaped cross section. The movable section inner plate section 61 is located on the inner side of the movable section 6 in the width direction. The movable section inner plate section 61 is flat, and the plate surface of the movable section inner plate section 61 faces the width direction. The movable section inner plate section 61 is positioned widthwise opposite the outer end face 36a of the mesh mounting section main body 36 in the width direction. The movable room outer rib 62 extends outward in the width direction from the outdoor end of the movable section inner plate section 61. The movable room inner rib 63 extends outward in the width direction from the indoor end of the movable section inner plate section 61. The movable room outer rib 62 and the movable room inner rib 63 face each other with a gap in the indoor / outdoor direction. The widthwise dimension of the movable room outer rib 62 and the widthwise dimension of the movable room inner rib 63 are approximately the same value. The recess surrounded by the movable part inner plate part 61, the movable room outer rib 62, and the movable room inner rib 63, and opening outward in the widthwise direction, is referred to as the movable part recess 64.

[0019] When the movable part 6 is accommodated in the mesh material mounting part recess 39 and positioned in the storage position, the movable part inner plate part 61 is positioned widthwise outward of the outer end face 36a of the mesh material mounting part main body 36. The movable room outer rib 62 is positioned on the indoor side of the mesh material mounting room outer rib 37. The movable room inner rib 63 is positioned on the outdoor side of the mesh material mounting room inner rib 38. The movable part 6 in the storage position does not protrude widthwise outward beyond the mesh material mounting room outer rib 37 and the mesh material mounting room inner rib 38.

[0020] The pressing portion 7 is provided between the outer end surface 36a of the net material mounting portion main body 36 in the width direction and the movable portion inner plate portion 61. The pressing portion 7 presses the movable portion 6 outward in the width direction. The pressing portion 7 is an elastic member such as a spring or rubber. When the movable portion 6 is pressed outward in the width direction by the pressing portion 7, it moves from the net material mounting portion recess 39 to a protruding position protruding outward in the width direction.

[0021] When the movable part 6 moves to the protruding position, the movable part inner plate part 61 is positioned between the tip of the mesh material mounting room outer rib 37 and the tip of the mesh material mounting room inner rib 38. The movable room outer rib 62 and the movable room inner rib 63 are positioned widthwise outward of the mesh material mounting room outer rib 37 and the mesh material mounting room inner rib 38. The movable part recess 64 is positioned widthwise outward of the mesh material mounting part recess 39.

[0022] The locking portion 8 restrains the movable portion 6, which has moved to the protruding position, in a state where it is disposed in the protruding position. The locking portion 8 is, for example, a pin that is inserted into the net mounting portion recess 39 through a hole formed in the net mounting chamber inner rib 38 and is disposed on the inside in the width direction of the movable portion 6 in the protruding position. The pin comes into contact with the inside surface in the width direction of the movable portion inner plate portion 61 of the movable portion 6 in the protruding position, thereby preventing the movable portion 6 from moving inward in the width direction and returning to the storage position.

[0023] The second vertical frame 34 has a shape symmetrical in the width direction to the first vertical frame 33. Like the first vertical frame 33, the second vertical frame 34 is also provided with a movable portion 6, a pressing portion 7, and a locking portion 8.

[0024] The method of attaching the screen door 1 to the frame body 21 will now be described. The movable parts 6 of the first vertical frame 33 and the second vertical frame 34 are pushed inward in the width direction to place them in the storage position. The movable parts 6 in the storage position are temporarily secured so that they do not move outward in the width direction. The screen door 1 is moved vertically in a buckling manner, and the screen door rail 211a of the upper frame 211 is inserted into the recess 314 of the upper frame 31, and the screen door rail 212a of the lower frame 212 is inserted into the recess 324 of the lower frame 32. The screen material attachment room outer rib 37 and the screen material attachment room inner rib 38 of the first vertical frame 33 are positioned widthwise more inward than the screen door rail 213a of the first vertical frame 213. The screen material attachment room outer rib 37 and the screen material attachment room inner rib 38 of the second vertical frame 34 are positioned widthwise more inward than the screen door rail 214a of the second vertical frame 214. By doing this, the screen material mounting room inner rib 38 of the first vertical frame 33 and the screen material mounting room inner rib 38 of the second vertical frame 34 do not interfere with the screen door rails 213a, 214a, and the screen door 1 is supported by the screen door rail 211a of the upper frame 211 and the screen door rail 212a of the lower frame 212.

[0025] The movable part 6 of the first stile 33 is moved to the protruding position by the pressing force of the pressing part 7. The screen door rail 213a of the first vertical frame 213 is inserted into the movable part recess 64 of the movable part 6 of the first stile 33. The movable part 6 of the second stile 34 is moved to the protruding position by the pressing force of the pressing part 7. The screen door rail 214a of the second vertical frame 214 is inserted into the movable part recess 64 of the movable part 6 of the second stile 34. As a result, the movable room outer rib 62 and the movable room inner rib 63 of the movable part 6 of the first stile 33 sandwich the screen door rail 213a of the first vertical frame 213 from the indoor / outdoor direction. The movable room outer rib 62 and the movable room inner rib 63 of the movable part 6 of the second stile 34 sandwich the screen door rail 214a of the second vertical frame 214 from the indoor / outdoor direction. The locking portion 8 fixes the movable portion 6 so that it does not move inward in the width direction.

[0026] When the screen door 1 is attached to the frame body 21 and the movable part 6 is positioned in a protruding position, the screen material attachment room outer rib 37 and the screen material attachment room inner rib 38 of the first vertical frame 33 and the second vertical frame 34 sandwich the screen door rail 213a of the first vertical frame 213 and the screen door rail 214a of the second vertical frame 214 from the indoor / outdoor direction. Therefore, even if the screen door 1 attached to the frame body 21 floats up and the bottom frame 32 is about to come off the screen door rail 212a of the bottom frame 212, the screen door 1 is prevented from moving in the indoor / outdoor direction, and the screen door 1 can be prevented from coming off the frame body 21. The screen door 1 can be prevented from floating up due to rattle or wind.

[0027] The screen door 1 is provided with a pressing portion 7 that presses the movable portion 6 outward in the width direction. This configuration allows the movable portion 6 to be easily moved to the protruding position. As a result, the screen door 1 can be easily attached to the frame 21. The pressing portion 7 is an elastic member such as a spring or rubber. This allows for a simple structure for the pressing portion 7 to press the movable portion 6.

[0028] The screen door 1 is provided with a locking section that is positioned in a protruding position and prevents the movable section 6, which is sandwiched between the screen door rail 213a of the first vertical frame 213 and the screen door rail 214a of the second vertical frame 214, from moving inward in the width direction. This prevents the movable section 6 from moving inward in the width direction and coming off the screen door rails 213a, 214a of the first vertical frame 213 and the second vertical frame 214.

[0029] Because the screen door 1 shown in this embodiment covers the entire opening 12, the opening can be covered by the screen door 1 not only when the outer and inner screens 22 and 23 are all moved to one side in the width direction to open it, but also when the outer and inner screens 22 and 23 are moved toward each other so that they are completely overlapping, or when they are opened with only a partial overlap as shown in Figures 1 and 4. Because the screen door 1 shown in this embodiment covers the entire opening 12, insects and other insects cannot get in between the outer and inner screens 22 and 23 and the screen door 1, regardless of their positions. As a result, the fitting 2 shown in this embodiment can efficiently ventilate from the outside by positioning the outer and inner screens 22 and 23 as desired. If the screen door 1 shown in this embodiment is used in a window installed in a bathroom or toilet, for example, it can prevent insects from entering the room when one or both sides of the width of the window are slightly opened for ventilation to block views from outside.

[0030] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified as appropriate. For example, in the above-described embodiments, the movable portion 6, the pressing portion 7, and the locking portion 8 are provided on both the first vertical stile 33 and the second vertical stile 34, but they may be provided on only one of them. The pressing portion 7 may be made of a material other than an elastic material such as a spring or rubber. The pressing portion 7 may be provided at a position other than between the movable portion 6 and the net material mounting portion 35. The locking portion 8 may be a material other than a pin inserted into the net material mounting portion recess 39.

[0031] The movable part 6 may not be provided with the movable room outer rib 62, and may only be provided with the movable room inner rib 63. In other words, the movable part 6 may have a movable part inner plate part 61 and a movable room inner rib 63, and may have an L-shaped vertical cross section. In such a case, the movable part 6 is positioned in a protruding position, and the movable room inner rib 63 is positioned on the indoor side of the screen door rails 213a, 214a of the first vertical frame 213 and the second vertical frame 214, thereby preventing the screen door 1 from coming off the frame body 21.

[0032] The upper and lower frames 31, 32 of the screen door 1 do not necessarily have to be provided with the indoor side ribs 313, 323. In such cases, the screen door 1 is fitted into the frame body 21 rather than using a snap-on mechanism. After the screen door 1 is fitted into the frame body 21, the movable part 6 is moved from the stored position to the protruding position, and the movable part 6 is attached to the first and second vertical frames 33, 34.

[0033] The screen door 1 does not necessarily have to be provided with mohair 315, 325, 381. The upper and lower frames 31, 32 of the screen door 1 may have mohair 315, 325, but the inside ribs 38 of the first and second frames 33, 34 for attaching the screen material may not have mohair 381. The frame 3 of the screen door 1 may be provided with packing, fin-shaped rubber material, sponge, etc., instead of mohair 315, 325, 381, as a gap sealing member for sealing the gap between the frame 3 and the frame body 21.

[0034] The screen door 1 shown in the embodiment can be applied to any space in a residential home or in a building other than a residential home, such as a building, where a fitting 2 is provided and an opening 12 is provided. Spaces in a building that have an opening 12 include, for example, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, as well as non-living spaces such as hallways and storerooms. The fitting 2 may be something other than a sliding sash. [Explanation of symbols]
