Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the structure of a glass partition in which the periphery of the glass is supported by an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames, and particularly relates to a glass partition capable of preventing or delaying the collapse of the glass due to the melting of the lower frame during a fire or the like.

Background Art

[0002] A glass partition is configured by supporting the periphery of the glass with an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames. Usually, these frames are formed of a light metal such as aluminum alone or a composite material of these and a synthetic resin (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). The lower frame usually forms a so-called hollow portion by an upper plate (hereinafter referred to as a hollow portion upper plate), a lower plate (hereinafter referred to as a hollow portion lower plate) provided at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction with respect to the hollow portion upper plate, and side plates provided therebetween. A setting block is usually provided on the hollow portion upper plate, and the glass is supported via the setting block.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the glass partitions disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, when a fire or the like occurs and the lower frame supporting the glass from below receives high heat, the melting of the lower frame is promoted by the weight of the glass, and there is a problem that it may lead to the collapse of the glass.

[0005] Therefore, as shown in Figure 7, a conventional method has been proposed in which a bent steel or stainless steel reinforcing material 1d4' is inserted into the hollow portion 1d3' of the outer glass sash 1' and fixed with screws 1d5' to prevent the glass 1a' and 1b' of the outer glass sash 1' from collapsing. However, in this conventional method, as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part in Figure 8(a), a clearance is required between the lower part 1d41' of the bent reinforcing material 1d4' and the lower hollow plate 1d21' in order to insert the bent reinforcing material 1d4' into the hollow portion 1d3'. Therefore, if the part of the lower frame 1d' of the outer glass sash 1' that faces the outdoors deforms due to heat from an outdoor fire, etc., as shown in Figure 8(b), the weight of the glass 1a' and 1b' accelerates the deformation of the lower frame 1d' until the clearance between the lower part of the bent reinforcing material 1d4' and the lower hollow plate 1d21' disappears, making it difficult to effectively prevent the glass 1a' and 1b' from collapsing.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of these problems, and aims to provide a glass shoji screen that can prevent or delay the collapse of the glass by mitigating the deformation of the lower frame even when the lower frame is subjected to high heat during a fire or the like. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To solve the aforementioned problems, the glass shoji screen according to the present invention is a glass shoji screen in which the glass is supported around the perimeter by an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames, wherein the lower frame is provided with a hollow portion, and the hollow portion has a hollow portion upper plate that supports the glass via a setting block, and a hollow portion lower plate that is provided at a predetermined vertical distance from the hollow portion upper plate, and a lower frame reinforcing screw is provided such that the male threaded portion on the outer circumference of the shaft is screwed through the hollow portion upper plate and the lower end of the shaft reaches the upper surface of the hollow portion lower plate. Furthermore, the glass shoji screen according to the present invention is also characterized in that the lower end of the shaft portion of the lower frame reinforcing screw is in contact with the upper surface of the hollow lower plate. Furthermore, the glass shoji screen according to the present invention is also characterized in that the male threaded portion at the lower end of the shaft of the lower frame reinforcing screw is screwed into the lower plate of the hollow portion. Furthermore, the glass shoji screen according to the present invention is characterized in that the lower end of the shaft of the lower frame reinforcing screw reaches the upper surface of the hollow lower plate, and there is a gap between the lower surface of the head of the lower frame reinforcing screw and the upper surface of the hollow upper plate. Furthermore, the glass shoji screen according to the present invention is also characterized in that the lower frame reinforcing screws are provided on the outdoor side of the center in the depth direction of the glass. Furthermore, the glass shoji screen according to the present invention is also characterized in that the lower frame reinforcing screws are provided in the vicinity of the setting block. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] In the glass sliding door according to the present invention, a reinforcing screw for the lower frame is provided between the upper hollow plate and the lower hollow plate of the lower frame, such that the male threaded portion on the outer circumference of the shaft is screwed through the upper hollow plate and the lower end of the shaft reaches the upper surface of the lower hollow plate. Therefore, even if the bottom frame is subjected to high temperatures during a fire or other incident, the shape of the hollow section is maintained by the gap between the upper and lower plates of the hollow section, which is maintained by the bottom frame reinforcing screws. This mitigates or suppresses deformation of the bottom frame, thus preventing or delaying the collapse of the glass. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Hereinafter, a glass shoji screen 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the glass shoji screen 1 according to the embodiment described below is merely one example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the glass shoji screen 1 according to the embodiment described below. It can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present invention.

A pair of vertical frames 2c and 2d are provided on both sides of the upper frame 2a and the lower frame 2b, respectively, as shown in Figures 1 and 4.

[0012] <Configuration of the glass outer sash 1 in the embodiment> As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the glass outer sash 1 of the embodiment is configured with an upper frame 1c and a lower frame 1d at the upper and lower ends of multiple panes of glass 1a, 1b (double-glazed glass) spaced at predetermined intervals (here, for example, two panes, but in the present invention, it is not limited to two panes, and may be one pane or three or more panes), and vertical frames, namely door frame 1e and meeting frame 1f, at the left and right ends.

[0013] The plurality of glasses 1a, 1b are respectively an outdoor glass 1a with wire meshes and an indoor glass 1b without wire meshes. Between the outdoor glass 1a and the indoor glass 1b, a spacer 1g and a sealing material 1h are provided respectively, maintaining a predetermined interval and a sealed state between the plurality of glasses 1a, 1b.

[0014] Also, a sealing material 1i and a backup material 1j which is a non-combustible backing are provided on the outside of the end of the outdoor glass 1a and the inside of the end of the indoor glass 1b. While the upper frame 1c supports the upper ends of the outdoor glass 1a and the indoor glass 1b provided with the spacer 1g, the sealing material 1h, the sealing material 1i, the backup material 1j, etc., the lower ends of the outdoor glass 1a and the indoor glass 1b provided with them are supported by the lower frame 1d via a setting block 1k, constituting the glass outer shutter 1.

[0015] (Lower frame 1d) The lower frame 1d is mainly composed of a light metal profile such as aluminum. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, it includes a glass lower end support portion 1d1 for housing the lower ends of the outdoor glass 1a and the indoor glass 1b, a door wheel storage portion 1d2 for housing the door wheel 1m, and a hollow portion 1d3 provided between the glass lower end support portion 1d1 and the door wheel storage portion 1d2, etc.

[0016] (Glass lower end support portion 1d1) The glass lower end support portion 1d1 includes an outdoor standing wall plate 1d11 that stands at the lower end of the outdoor glass 1a and supports the sealing material 1i and the backup material 1j on the outdoor glass 1a side from the outdoor side (outdoor side), a water reservoir plate 1d12 that extends in the indoor direction from the lower end of the outdoor standing wall plate 1d11, and after rising several millimeters with the water reservoir plate 1d12 as the bottom of the water reservoir concave groove, it extends in the indoor direction and supports the outdoor glass 1a and the indoor glass 1b from below via the setting block 1k, and an indoor standing wall plate 1d14 that stands from the indoor side end of the hollow portion upper plate 1d13 and supports the sealing material 1i and the backup material 1j on the indoor glass 1b side from the indoor side (indoor side), etc.

[0017] The water storage plate 1d12 is provided with a drain hole (not shown) for discharging rainwater accumulated in the water storage concave groove surrounded by the outdoor side standing wall plate 1d11, the water storage plate 1d12, and the rising part of the hollow part upper plate 1d13, as well as water accumulated due to condensation of the outdoor side glass 1a and the indoor side glass 1b to the outside. In the embodiment, the water storage plate 1d12 is provided, but the hollow part upper plate 1d13 may be extended to the outdoor side standing wall plate 1d11, and a drain hole may be provided in the hollow part upper plate 1d13.

[0018] In addition, projections are provided at the indoor side end of the water storage plate 1d12 and the outdoor side end of the hollow part upper plate 1d13, and a screw receiving part for receiving a frame fixing screw (not shown), such as a tapping screw, for fixing the lower frame 1d to the door end frame 1e or the summons frame 1f is provided. In the screw receiving part, a female screw hole 1d13a into which the male screw part 1n11 of the shaft part 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is screwed at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction is provided.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 5, the female screw hole 1d13a is provided at a position where it does not interfere with the setting block 1k, for example, about 10 mm away from the setting block 1k at a location where the setting block 1k is not provided. In the embodiment, it is provided between the setting block 1k and the setting block 1k (one side of the setting block 1k), but it may be provided between the setting block 1k and the vertical frame (the other side of the setting block 1k between the door end frame 1e and the summons frame 1f), or both sides (both sides of the setting block 1k) may be provided.

[0020] The female screw hole 1d13a may be provided in advance in the hollow part upper plate 1d13, or may be a female screw hole opened by the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n using a tapping screw (self-tapping screw) or the like as the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n, as long as it is a female screw hole into which the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is screwed. In addition, the female screw hole 1d13a may be provided not only between the setting blocks 1k, 1k, but also by cutting a part of the setting block 1k or opening a hole in the setting block 1k so as not to interfere with the setting block 1k.

[0021] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the female screw hole 1d13a is located on the outdoor side of the center of the hollow upper plate 1d13 in the depth direction, and the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is located at a point offset to the outdoor side from the center of the setting block 1k in the depth direction and the center of the outdoor glass 1a in the depth direction.

[0022] (Roller storage section 1d2) The door roller storage section 1d2 is a part that houses and supports the door roller 1m so that it can rotate, and includes a hollow lower plate 1d21 provided at a predetermined distance from the water reservoir plate 1d12 and the hollow upper plate 1d13 that constitute the glass lower end support section 1d1, and a screw receiving plate 1d22 provided a few mm above the indoor end of the hollow lower plate 1d21 that receives frame fixing screws (not shown), such as tapping screws, that fix the frame 1d to the door edge frame 1e and meeting frame 1f, and the hollow lower The structure consists of a front roller cover plate 1d23 that descends vertically from the outdoor end of the board 1d21, then extends diagonally inward, and then downward to cover the outdoor side of the roller 1m; a rear roller cover plate 1d24 that descends from the indoor end of the screw receiving plate 1d22 to cover the indoor side of the roller 1m; and a roller support plate 1d25 provided between the front roller cover plate 1d23 and the rear roller cover plate 1d24, which supports a portion of the roller 1m by allowing it to protrude downward from an opening (not shown).

[0023] (Hollow part 1d3) The hollow section 1d3 is a hollow space formed between the glass lower end support section 1d1 and the roller storage section 1d2, and is surrounded by a hollow section front plate 1d31 provided flush with the outdoor upright wall plate 1d11 that constitutes the glass lower end support section 1d1, a hollow section rear plate 1d32 provided flush with the indoor upright wall plate 1d14 that constitutes the glass lower end support section 1d1, a water reservoir plate 1d12 and a hollow section upper plate 1d13 that constitute the glass lower end support section 1d1, and a hollow section lower plate 1d21 and a screw receiving plate 1d22 that constitute the roller storage section 1d2. In this embodiment, a screw receiving plate 1d22 is provided, but the hollow section lower plate 1d21 may be extended to the hollow section rear plate 1d32 and a screw receiving section may be provided on the hollow section lower plate 1d21.

[0024] Here, the height H of the hollow section 1d3 is the vertical distance between the upper hollow section plate 1d13 and the lower hollow section plate 1d21.

[0025] (Bottom frame reinforcement screw 1n) As shown in Figure 3, the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n has a shaft portion 1n1 with a male threaded portion 1n11 and a head portion 1n2 provided at the upper end of the shaft portion 1n1. The male threaded portion 1n11 of the shaft portion 1n1 is screwed into the female threaded hole 1d13a of the hollow upper plate 1d13, and the lower end of the shaft portion 1n1 is positioned to abut against the upper surface of the hollow lower plate 1d21.

[0026] Here, even when the lower end of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n abuts against the upper surface of the hollow lower plate 1d21, a predetermined gap is maintained between the lower surface of its head 1n2 and the upper surface of the hollow upper plate 1d13. This is because the length L of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is greater than the vertical spacing H of the hollow portion 1d3, and the relationship L > H holds true.

[0027] (Glass-covered shoji screen 1') Furthermore, the inner glass sash 1', like the outer glass sash 1, is composed of an outer glass 1a', an inner glass 1b', an upper frame 1c', a lower frame 1d', a door edge frame 1e', a meeting frame 1f', a spacer 1g', sealing material 1h', sealing material 1i', a backup material 1j', a door roller 1m', etc., as shown in Figure 2, etc. The lower frame 1d' has a glass lower end support part 1d1' and a door roller storage part 1d2', but does not have a hollow part 1d3. Therefore, unlike the outer glass sash 1, the inner glass sash 1' does not have a lower frame reinforcing screw 1n, etc.

[0028] <When the lower frame 1d of the glass outer sash 1 of the embodiment is subjected to high heat due to fire, etc.> Next, we will explain what happens when the lower frame 1d of the glass outer sash 1, which is made of a single light metal such as aluminum or a composite material of such metals and synthetic resin, is subjected to high heat due to a fire or the like.

[0029] If a fire or other incident occurs and the glass lower end support part 1d1, the roller storage part 1d2, and the hollow part 1d3 that make up the lower frame 1d begin to be subjected to high heat, the upper plate 1d13 of the hollow part, which supports the outer glass 1a and the inner glass 1b via the setting block 1k, will attempt to sink due to the weight of the outer glass 1a and the inner glass 1b.

[0030] However, in the glass outer sash 1 of the embodiment, the male threaded portion 1n11 of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is screwed into the female threaded hole 1d13a of the hollow upper plate 1d13, and the lower end of the shaft portion 1n1 abuts against the upper surface of the hollow lower plate 1d21, so that the load of the outdoor glass 1a and indoor glass 1b is received not only by the hollow portion 1d3 but also by the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n, and the shape of the hollow portion 1d3 is maintained by the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n functioning as a support that maintains the gap between the hollow upper plate 1d13 and the hollow lower plate 1d21, so that the collapse of the outdoor glass 1a and indoor glass 1b can be prevented or delayed.

[0031] In particular, in the glass outer sash 1 of the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the length L of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is made larger than the vertical spacing H of the hollow portion 1d3, so that a predetermined gap is left between the lower surface of the head 1n2 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n and the upper surface of the hollow portion upper plate 1d13.

[0032] Therefore, the lower end of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n reliably contacts the upper surface of the hollow section lower plate 1d21, so that the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n functions as a column supporting the hollow section upper plate 1d13 and the hollow section lower plate 1d21. As a result, the vertical distance H of the hollow section 1d3 is maintained by the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n. Thus, even if the hollow section upper plate 1d13 and the hollow section lower plate 1d21 are subjected to high heat due to fire or the like, the shape of the hollow section 1d3 is maintained by maintaining the distance between the hollow section upper plate 1d13 and the hollow section lower plate 1d21, making it possible to prevent or delay the collapse of the exterior glass 1a and the interior glass 1b.

[0033] Furthermore, in the glass outer sash 1 of the embodiment, the female screw hole 1d13a of the hollow upper plate 1d13 is offset to the outside from the center of the hollow upper plate 1d13 in the depth direction, and also offset to the outside from the center of the outer glass 1a in the depth direction.

[0034] Therefore, in the event of a fire or the like, if the exterior side of the outer glass sash 1 is subjected to high heat before the interior side, the closer it is to the bottom frame reinforcing screw 1n, the better its original shape will be maintained, thus preventing the exterior glass 1a and interior glass 1b from collapsing or falling out to the exterior (outdoor) side.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom frame 1d constituting the outer glass sash 1 of the embodiment of the present invention supports the outer glass 1a and the inner glass 1b via a setting block 1k. In other words, a bottom frame reinforcing screw 1n is provided near the setting block 1k (on one side, approximately 10 mm away in the longitudinal direction in the embodiment) that transmits the weight of the outer glass 1a and the inner glass 1b to the outer glass sash 1.

[0036] Therefore, since the bottom frame 1d is provided with bottom frame reinforcing screws 1n near the point where it bears the greatest weight of the exterior glass 1a and interior glass 1b, the shape of the hollow portion is maintained not only in the depth direction but also in the longitudinal direction. In this respect as well, in the event of a fire, the deformation of the hollow portion 1d of the bottom frame 1d can be delayed, preventing or delaying the collapse of the exterior glass 1a and interior glass 1b.

[0037] In the above embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the lower end of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n was described as being in contact with the upper surface of the hollow lower plate 1d21. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and of course, as shown in Figure 6, a female screw hole 1d21a is provided in the hollow lower plate 1d21 below the female screw hole 1d13a of the hollow upper plate 1d13 into which the male screw portion 1n11 of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is screwed, and the screw portion 1n11' of the shaft portion 1n1' of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n' is screwed into the female screw hole 1d13a of the hollow upper plate 1d13 and the female screw hole 1d21a of the hollow lower plate 1d21. In the example shown in Figure 6, the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n' penetrates the hollow lower plate 1d21, but it may also be screwed into the female screw hole 1d21a without penetrating. In this case, the length L' of the shaft portion 1n1' of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n' should be greater than the height H of the hollow portion 1d3, which is the vertical distance between the upper hollow portion plate 1d13 and the lower hollow portion plate 1d21. This is done so that even when the threaded portion 1n11' of the shaft portion 1n1' of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n' is screwed into the female threaded hole 1d13a of the upper hollow portion plate 1d13 and the female threaded hole 1d21a of the lower hollow portion plate 1d21, there is a gap between the lower surface of the head 1n2' and the upper surface of the upper hollow portion plate 1d13.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the female screw hole 1d13a into which the male screw portion 1n11 of the shaft portion 1n1 of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is screwed was described as being provided in the hollow upper plate 1d13 at a location that does not interfere with the setting block 1k. However, since the purpose of the lower frame reinforcing screw 1n is to prevent or delay the collapse of the outdoor glass 1a and the indoor glass 1b, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a recess or through hole may be formed in the setting block 1k and the screw 1n may be provided at a position that overlaps with the setting block 1k.

[0039] Furthermore, although the glass sash of the embodiment of the present invention has been described using the outer glass sash 1 that constitutes a sliding sash as shown in Figures 1 to 4 as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may also be applied to the inner glass sash 1' side to provide the bottom frame reinforcing screws 1n, etc. Moreover, it may of course be applied not only to the glass sash of sliding windows, but also to the glass sash of casement windows, sliding windows, double-hung windows, fixed windows, and other glass sashes other than sliding windows.
