Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fitting of this embodiment is the access door 1. The access door 1 includes a door frame 10 attached to the opening of the access of the building, and a door body 20 disposed within the door frame 10. The door frame 10 is formed in a rectangular frame shape by welding or the like an upper frame 11, a lower frame 12, and left and right vertical frames 13, 14 made of synthetic resin. The door body 20 includes a panel holding frame 20A formed by welding or the like an upper frame 21, a lower frame 22, and left and right vertical frames 23, 24, and a panel 25 held inside the panel holding frame 20A. The vertical frame 23 is the vertical frame on the hanging side rotatably connected to the door frame 10 by a hinge, and the vertical frame 24 is the vertical frame on the door tip side. The panel 25 is triple glass in this embodiment, but may be multilayer glass or single-plate glass, and further may be a panel made of a material other than glass such as synthetic resin. A handle 26 is attached to the vertical frame 24.
[0012] The upper frame 21, the lower frame 22, and the vertical frames 23, 24 include a frame body 30 and an edge trim 38. The frame bodies 30 of each frame have the same cross-sectional shape, and the edge trims 38 also have the same cross-sectional shape. Therefore, in FIG. 4, the main part of the frame body 30 of the lower frame 22 is shown. The frame body 30 has a cross-sectional shape with multiple hollow sections and is made of extruded synthetic resin. As shown in Figure 4, it includes a first visible surface section 31, a support projection 32, an engagement groove 33, a second visible surface section 34, and a trim mounting groove 35. The first visible surface portion 31 is a portion formed along the inner circumferential surface of the framed door body 20, and the surface of the first visible surface portion 31 that faces the outer circumferential surface of the panel 25 is designated as the first visible surface 311. The support projection 32 is a roughly hollow rectangular projection formed to protrude from the interior side end of the first visible surface 31 toward the inner circumference (inward in the plane direction) of the door body 20. The inner circumference (inward in the plane direction) of the door body 20 refers to the direction toward downward for the upper frame 21, upward for the lower frame 22, and toward the opposing other vertical frame 24, 23 for the vertical frames 23, 24. The support projection 32 has two fin-shaped sealing pieces 321 formed on it that abut against the interior surface of the panel 25.
[0013] The engagement groove portion 33 comprises a first side portion 331, a bottom portion 332, and a second side portion 333, and defines a recessed groove that opens to the inner circumferential surface of the door body 20. The first side portion 331 extends outward from the outdoor-facing end of the first visible portion 31, substantially perpendicular to the visible direction. The bottom portion 332 extends outward from the first side portion 331. The second side portion 333 extends inward from the bottom portion 332. The second side portion 333 is provided with a slope that gradually moves outward from the base end connected to the bottom portion 332 towards the tip. A locking piece 334 is formed at the tip (inner circumferential end) of the second side portion 333, projecting toward the first side portion 331. The second visible surface portion 34 is formed by the tip portion of the second side portion 333. The inner circumferential surface of the second visible surface portion 34 is the second visible surface 341. The second visible surface 341 is provided on the extension of the first visible surface 311, with a recessed groove defined by the engagement groove portion 33 in between. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, positioning grooves 345 are formed in the second visible surface 34 and the second side surface 333 for positioning the setting block 40 at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of the frame body 30. The positioning grooves 345 are formed by drilling holes from the second visible surface 341 of the second visible surface 34. Note that holes are also drilled in the bottom surfaces 332 and 333, which communicate with the hollow portion of the frame body 30.
[0014] As shown in Figure 4, the trim mounting groove 35 comprises a second side portion 333, a bottom portion 352, and an exterior portion 353, and defines a recessed groove that opens to the inner circumferential surface of the door body 20. The bottom portion 352 extends outward from the bottom portion 332. The exterior portion 353 protrudes from the exterior end of the bottom portion 352 toward the inner circumferential side of the door body 20.
[0015] The trim strip 38 is made of an extruded profile made of synthetic resin. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the base end of the trim strip 38 is attached to the trim strip mounting groove 35. A fin-shaped sealing piece 381 that contacts the panel 25 is formed on the tip end of the trim strip 38. When the trim strip 38 is attached to the frame body 30, a retaining groove is formed between the support projection 32 and the trim strip 38 to hold the panel 25. The interior surface of the panel 25 is supported by the support projection 32, and the exterior surface of the panel 25 is supported by the trim strip 38. In addition, the sealing pieces 321 and 381 contact the interior and exterior surfaces of the panel 25, ensuring airtightness and watertightness between the panel 25 and the door body 20.
[0016] The door body 20 is fitted with a first setting block 40 and a second setting block 50 that support the panel 25 so that it does not move in the in-plane direction. In the back door 1 of this embodiment, as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 1, the first setting block 40 is attached to the hinge side and door edge side of the bottom frame 22, and to the upper end, lower end and middle portion of the vertical frame 23 on the hinge side, respectively. The second setting block 50 is attached to the door edge side of the top frame 21, and to the upper end, lower end and middle portion of the vertical frame 24 on the door edge side, respectively. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the setting blocks 40 and 50 attached to the upper and lower ends of the vertical frames 23 and 24 are fitted with panel retaining members 80 (described later) using anti-theft screws 90. Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view showing the setting block 40 and panel retaining member 80 attached to the upper end of the vertical frame 23.
[0017] [First setting block] The first setting block 40 is a pre-installed setting block that is attached to the bottom frame 22 and the vertical frame 23 before the panel 25 is mounted on the panel holding frame 20A. The first setting block 40 is an injection-molded product made of synthetic resin and comprises a main body portion 41, two claw portions 42, and a protruding portion 43, as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The main body 41 is formed in a roughly rectangular plate shape and includes a surface 411 on which the panel 25 is arranged, a bottom surface 412 that abuts against the first visible surface 311 of the first visible surface 31 of the frame body 30, and a mounting surface 413 to which the panel retaining material 80 is attached. The main body 41 includes an interior surface 414 formed parallel to the mounting surface 413 and facing the support projection 32 of the frame body 30, and two side surfaces 415 perpendicular to the interior surface 414. The main body 41 is equipped with a rib structure in order to ensure strength while reducing the amount of resin material used. For this reason, the surface 411 is roughly flat and has four holes for weight reduction. The bottom surface 412 is composed of the bottom portions of each rib. The mounting surface 413 is the exterior side of the main body 41 and has two screw holes 416 into which security screws 90 are screwed. Recesses 417 are formed between the mounting surface 413 and each claw portion 42. Furthermore, the thickness dimension of the main body 41 may be set to multiple types depending on the type of door or window in which the setting block 40 is to be installed. For example, two types of setting blocks 40 with thickness dimensions of 8 mm and 10 mm for the main body 41 may be prepared and selected according to the type of door or window in question.
[0018] The claw portion 42 is provided in pairs on the left and right sides of the mounting surface 413 and comprises an elastic piece portion 421, a contact surface portion 422, and a hook portion 423. The elastic piece portion 421 extends from the main body portion 41 toward the outside and further extends toward the outer circumference (outward in the in-plane direction). The contact surface portion 422 is the portion that extends from the tip of the elastic piece portion 421 toward the main body portion 41, and its lower surface is formed on the extension of the bottom surface 412. The hook portion 423 extends from the contact surface portion 422 and is shaped to engage with the locking piece portion 334.
[0019] As shown in Figures 4 and 7 and 8, the protruding portion 43 comprises a contact plate portion 431, a plate portion 432, and a guide portion 433. The contact plate portion 431 extends from the bottom surface 412 of the main body portion 41 and is formed in a plate shape along the indoor-outdoor direction. This contact plate portion 431 protrudes from the bottom surface 412 of the main body portion 41 and is configured to contact the second visible surface 341 during the installation of the setting block 40, as will be described later. The plate portion 432 extends from the bottom surface 412 and is provided continuously with the interior surface of the contact plate portion 431. The plate portion 432 is the part that contacts the first side surface 331 of the engagement groove portion 33 when the setting block 40 is attached to the frame body 30. The plate portion 432 is formed in a plate shape that is wider than the contact plate portion 431, and is configured to increase the contact area when it contacts the first side surface 331. In addition, the bottom surface side of the plate portion 432 protrudes from the bottom surface of the contact plate portion 431.
[0020] The guide portion 433 is configured to be disposed in the positioning groove portion 345 formed in the second side surface portion 333, and is a portion that determines the position of the setting block 40 in the longitudinal direction of the frame body 30. Thereby, the setting block 40 is disposed at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of the frame body 30. Further, the guide portion 433 has a triangular shape in a side view as viewed from the outdoor side, and the side surface 4331 of the guide portion 433 is inclined in a direction approaching each other from the inner peripheral side toward the outer peripheral side. Since the width dimension of the guide portion 433 gradually decreases toward the outer peripheral side, the gap between the guide portion 433 and the positioning groove portion 345 is configured to gradually increase toward the outer peripheral side. Therefore, even if rainwater enters the engaging groove portion 33, this rainwater can be discharged from the gap between the guide portion 433 and the positioning groove portion 345 to the edge attachment groove portion 35 side. In the present embodiment, although not shown, through holes are formed in the bottom surface portion 332 and the bottom surface portion 352 corresponding to the position of the positioning groove portion 345, and the rainwater flowing into the positioning groove portion 345 is drained to the outdoor side through the through holes in the bottom surface portions 332 and 352 and the hollow portion of the frame body 30.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, when the width dimension between the first side surface portion 331 of the frame body 30 and the locking piece portion 334 is W1, and the width dimension between the contact surface of the plate portion 432 of the setting block 40 that contacts the first side surface portion 331 and the engaging portion of the hook portion 423 that engages with the locking piece portion 334 is W2, it is designed such that W1 < W2. In the present embodiment, the width dimension W2 is set to a dimension 1 mm larger than the width dimension W1. Therefore, when the claw portion 42 and the protruding portion 43 of the setting block 40 are inserted into the engaging groove portion 33 of the frame body 30, the claw portion 42 elastically deforms, and due to its repulsive force, the plate portion 432 and the claw portion 42 are pressed against the first side surface portion 331 and the locking piece portion 334 with a predetermined force, and the mounting strength of the setting block 40 can be enhanced.
[0022] [Second Setting Block] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the second setting block 50 includes a base material 60 and a block body 70. The base material 60 is attached to the panel holding frame 20A before the panel 25 is placed. On the other hand, the block body 70 is attached to the base material 60 after the panel 25 is placed. The base material 60 is an injection-molded product made of synthetic resin and comprises a main body portion 61, two claw portions 62, and a protruding portion 63. The main body portion 61 is the part that holds the block body 70 and comprises a flat plate portion 611 and a guide portion 615. The flat plate portion 611 is formed in a rectangular plate shape and has two engagement holes 612 formed therein, which are engaged portions into which the block body 70 engages. A projection portion 613 that protrudes outwards is formed at the outdoor end of the flat plate portion 611. Each guide portion 615 includes a holding portion 616 that extends inward from both the left and right ends of the flat plate portion 611 (towards the inner side in the in-plane direction) and extends in a direction toward each other, forming a substantially L-shaped cross-section; a side portion 617 that extends inward from both the left and right ends of the flat plate portion 611 and is arranged relative to the holding portion 616 via a groove; and a back portion 618 that extends inward from the inner end of the flat plate portion 611. Each side portion 617 restricts the longitudinal movement of the frame body 30 of the block body 70, which is positioned between the side portions 617, and the rear portion 618 restricts the movement of the block body 70 toward the interior. In addition, the holding portion 616 restricts the longitudinal movement of the frame body 30 of the block body 70 and its movement toward the panel 25 side (inward in the plane direction).
[0023] The claw portion 62 is configured similarly to the claw portion 42 of the first setting block 40. That is, a pair of claw portions 62 are provided on the left and right sides of the protruding portion 613, and each comprises an elastic piece portion 621, a contact surface portion 622, and a hook portion 623. The elastic piece portion 621 extends from the main body portion 61 toward the outdoor side and further extends toward the outer circumference (outward in the in-plane direction). The contact surface portion 622 is the portion that extends from the tip of the elastic piece portion 621 toward the main body portion 61, and its lower surface is formed on the extension of the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 611. The hook portion 623 extends from the contact surface portion 622 and is shaped to engage with the locking piece portion 334. Furthermore, the surface of the elastic piece 621 facing the outer circumferential surface of the panel 25 and the surface of the guide piece 615 are flush. In addition, the height dimension of the elastic piece 621 and the guide piece 615, that is, the dimension from the bottom surface that abuts the first visible surface 31 of the upper frame 21 and vertical frame 24 to the aforementioned surface, is set to be smaller than the height dimension from the bottom surface 412 to the surface 411 of the first setting block 40.
[0024] The protruding portion 63, like the protruding portion 43, comprises a contact plate portion 631, a plate portion 632, and a guide portion 633. The contact plate portion 631, plate portion 632, and guide portion 633 have the same configuration as the contact plate portion 431, plate portion 432, and guide portion 433 of the protruding portion 43, so their description is omitted. For this reason, the guide portion 633, like the guide portion 433, is triangular in shape when viewed from the outside, and the side surfaces 6331 of the guide portion 633 are inclined to move closer to each other from the inner circumference to the outer circumference.
[0025] The block body 70 is an injection-molded product made of synthetic resin and comprises a main body portion 71, a pair of engaging pieces 72, a pair of inclined pieces 73, and a pair of retaining pieces 74. The main body 71 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape and includes a surface 711 facing the outer circumferential surface of the panel 25, a bottom surface 712 that abuts against the flat plate portion 611 of the base material 60, and a mounting surface 713 to which the panel retaining material 80 is attached. The main body 71 also includes an interior surface 714 formed parallel to the mounting surface 713 and facing the rear portion 618, and two side surfaces 715 perpendicular to the interior surface 714. Two openings 7111 are formed on the surface 711. The mounting surface 713 is the exterior side of the main body 71, and has two screw holes 716 into which security screws 90 are screwed. The thickness dimension of the main body 71 is set such that when the block body 70 is attached to the base material 60, the surface 711 of the block body 70 protrudes further toward the panel 25 than the guide portion 615 of the base material 60. Multiple thickness dimensions of the main body 71 may be set depending on the type of door, window, etc., on which the second setting block 50 is installed.
[0026] The engaging piece 72 comprises an extended piece 721 extending diagonally from the inner circumferential surface of the opening 7111 of the main body 71, and an engaging claw portion 722 extending downward from the tip of the extended piece 721. Since only the base end of the extended piece 721 of the engaging piece 72 is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the opening 7111, when a security screw 90 is screwed into the screw hole 716, the security screw 90 comes into contact with the upper tip of the extended piece 721, causing the extended piece 721 to deform downward. As a result, the engaging claw portion 722 of the engaging piece 72 engages with the engaging hole 612, which is the engaged part. The inclined piece portion 73 comprises a base end portion 731 connected to the side surface 715 and an inclined plate portion 732 extending diagonally from the base end portion 731 toward the outside and toward the surface direction of the main body portion 71. The retaining piece portion 74 extends from the side surface 715 in a left-right direction at the outdoor side position of the engaging piece portion 72 and is held by the retaining portion 616. The base end portion 731 of the inclined piece portion 73 and the retaining piece portion 74 are formed at the bottom end of the side surface 715, and each bottom surface is flush with the bottom surface 712, and each surface is flush with each other.
[0027] [Panel fastening material] As shown in Figure 6, a panel retaining member 80 is attached to the first setting block 40 and the second setting block 50, which are attached to the upper and lower ends of the vertical frames 23 and 24, respectively, using anti-theft screws 90. The panel retaining member 80 consists of a stainless steel fixing piece 81 and a cushioning material 85 made of synthetic resin such as ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM) attached to the fixing piece 81. The fixing piece 81 comprises a main body 82 and a locking portion 83. A cushioning material 85 is attached to the main body 82, and an insertion hole 821 is formed therein through which a security screw 90 is inserted. The anti-theft screw 90 is a highly secure screw that cannot be removed with commercially available screwdrivers or wrenches and requires a special tool to install. By screwing this anti-theft screw 90 into the screw hole 416 through the insertion hole 821, the panel retaining material 80 is fixed to the mounting surface 413 of the setting block 40. The locking portion 83 has a hook-shaped tip and is configured to lock onto the locking piece 334 of the engagement groove 33. Although the locking portion 83 is inclined toward the main body portion 41 from the main body portion 82, a recess 417 is formed in the main body portion 41. Therefore, when the panel retaining material 80 is attached to the setting block 40, the locking portion 83 is positioned in the recess 417 and does not interfere with the main body portion 41. As described later, the cushioning material 85 is positioned opposite the panel 25, so that the metal fixing piece 81 does not come into contact with the panel 25 and damage the panel 25.
[0028] [Installation method for the first setting block] Next, the method for attaching the first setting block 40 will be explained with reference to Figures 11 to 14. Figures 11 to 14 illustrate the method for attaching the setting block 40 to the lower frame 22. The setting block 40 needs to be positioned by placing its protrusions 43 in the positioning grooves 345 formed in the second visible surface 34 and the second side surface 333. In this case, the worker does not directly attach the protrusions 43 of the setting block 40 to the positioning grooves 345, but rather, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, places the contact plate portion 431 of the protrusions 43 of the setting block 40 against the second visible surface 341 of the second visible surface 34, and places the inner end of the bottom surface 412 of the main body portion 41 against the first visible surface 311, thereby positioning the setting block 40 at an angle to the first visible surface 311. In this case, the hook portion 423 of the claw portion 42 can be positioned slightly away from the locking piece portion 334. Next, the worker moves the setting block 40 by sliding it along the longitudinal direction of the frame body 30 while pressing it against the first and second visible surfaces 311 and 341. At this time, as shown in Figure 12, a part of the bottom surface 412 of the setting block 40 abuts against the first visible surface 311, the contact plate portion 431 of the protruding portion 43 abuts against the second visible surface 341, and the hook portion 423 is not in contact with the locking piece portion 334, so that the setting block 40 can be smoothly slid along the frame body 30.
[0029] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the setting block 40 is slid while being pressed against the frame body 30, and when the guide portion 433 of the protruding portion 43 moves to the position of the positioning groove 345, the protruding portion 43 is positioned in the positioning groove 345. At this time, since the guide portion 433 of the protruding portion 43 is triangular in side view, when the setting block 40 is slid, the side surface 4331 of the guide portion 433 is guided while contacting the positioning groove 345, so that the guide portion 433 moves to approximately the center of the positioning groove 345, and the setting block 40 can be positioned in the predetermined position. Furthermore, as the setting block 40 is pressed against the frame body 30, the hook portion 423 of the claw portion 42 engages with the locking piece portion 334, the plate portion 432 comes into contact with the first side portion 331, and the bottom surface 412 of the main body portion 41 comes into contact with the first visible surface 311. At this time, the surface of the hook portion 423 on the side of the locking piece portion 334 is inclined, and the surface of the locking piece portion 334 on the side of the hook portion 423 is also inclined. Therefore, when the setting block 40 is pressed against the frame body 30, the inclined surfaces of the hook portion 423 and the locking piece portion 334 come into contact with each other, and the claw portion 42 elastically deforms toward the main body portion 41, allowing the hook portion 423 to smoothly engage with the locking piece portion 334. Here, as shown in Figure 4, the dimension W2 between the hook portion 423 and the plate portion 432 is larger than the dimension W1 between the first side portion 331 and the locking piece portion 334. Therefore, the claw portion 42 elastically deforms toward the first side portion 331, and the stress associated with this elastic deformation is applied toward the locking piece portion 334, biasing the hook portion 423 of the claw portion 42 toward the locking piece portion 334. Also, as the hook portion 423 is biased toward the locking piece portion 334, the plate portion 432 is pressed toward the first side portion 331. As a result, the hook portion 423 of the claw portion 42 and the plate portion 432 of the protruding portion 43 are pressed against the engagement groove portion 33 and fitted, and the setting block 40 is attached to the frame body 30 with a predetermined mounting strength. By the method described above, the first setting block 40 is attached to the lower frame 22 and one of the vertical frames 23 that constitute the panel holding frame 20A.
[0030] [Installation method for the second setting block and panel] Next, the method for attaching the second setting block 50 will be explained with reference to Figures 15 to 18. Figures 15 to 18 illustrate the method for attaching the second setting block 50 to the vertical frame 24. The base material 60 has claw portions 62 and protrusions 63 similar to those of the first setting block 40. As shown in Figure 15, similar to the first setting block 40, the protrusions 63 are positioned in the positioning grooves 345 and the hook portions 623 of the claw portions 62 are locked to the locking pieces 334, thereby attaching it to the vertical frame 24.
[0031] After attaching the first setting block 40 to the bottom frame 22 and the vertical frame 23, and attaching the base material 60 of the second setting block 50 to the top frame 21 and the vertical frame 24, the panel 25 is assembled into the panel holding frame 20A. The thickness of the base material 60 is smaller than the thickness of the first setting block 40. Therefore, if the first setting block 40 is attached to all of the upper frame 21, lower frame 22, and vertical frame 23 and 24, the gap between the outer surface of the panel 25 placed in the panel holding frame 20A and the first setting block 40 is small, making it difficult to assemble the panel 25 with an automated machine, and requiring the panel 25 to be assembled manually by an operator. In contrast, in this embodiment, when only the base material 60 of the second setting block 50 is attached to the upper frame 21 and vertical frame 24, the thickness of the base material 60 is smaller than that of the first setting block 40, allowing for a larger gap between the panel 25 and the first setting block 40 and base material 60. Therefore, the panel 25 can be assembled into the panel holding frame 20A with an automated machine, improving the workability of assembling the door body 20. In the installation of panel 25, the outer surface of panel 25 can be brought into contact with the surface 411 of the first setting block 40 attached to the bottom frame 22 and the vertical frame 23 on the hanging side to position it.
[0032] Next, as shown in Figure 16, the block body 70 is inserted between the panel 25 and the base material 60 in the upper frame 21 and the vertical frame 24 on the door edge side, from the outside, i.e., from the depth direction. Specifically, the base end 731 of the inclined piece 73 of the block body 70 is inserted between the flat plate portion 611 and the holding portion 616. In this state, when the block body 70 is pushed inward, i.e., towards the support projection 32, the inclined plate portion 732 of the inclined piece 73 comes into contact with the holding portion 616 and tilts toward the flat plate portion 611, as shown in Figure 17. Furthermore, by pushing the block body 70 inward, as shown in Figure 18, the inclined plate portion 732 moves further inward than the holding portion 616, and the inclined plate portion 732 of the inclined piece portion 73 returns to its original position. The holding piece portion 74 is positioned between the flat plate portion 611 and the holding portion 616. In this state, the movement of the block body 70 toward the interior is restricted by the base end 731 abutting against the rear portion 618, and the movement toward the exterior is restricted by the tip of the inclined piece 73 abutting against the holding portion 616. Furthermore, the movement of the block body 70 in the longitudinal direction (up and down direction in the case of the vertical frame 24) of the frame body 30 is restricted by the inclined piece 73 and holding piece 74 abutting against the holding portion 616 and side portion 617, and the movement toward the panel 25 side (away from the first visible surface 311) is restricted by the holding piece 74 abutting against the holding portion 616.
[0033] Next, as shown in Figures 5 and 19, the panel retaining members 80 are attached to the mounting surfaces 413 of the two first setting blocks 40 attached to the top and bottom of the vertical frame 23, and to the mounting surfaces 713 of the two second setting blocks 50 attached to the top and bottom of the vertical frame 24, using anti-theft screws 90. At this time, the panel retaining members 80 are installed so that the cushioning material 85 of the panel retaining members 80 faces the surface of the panel 25. Furthermore, anti-theft screws 90 are screwed into the mounting surface 713 of the second setting block 50, which is attached to the middle section of the upper frame 21 and the vertical frame 24. When a security screw 90 is screwed into the screw hole 716 of the second setting block 50, either directly or via the panel retaining member 80, as shown in Figure 20, the security screw 90 that has passed through the screw hole 716 comes into contact with the extended piece 721 of the engaging piece 72, deforming the extended piece 721 toward the base material 60. As a result, the engaging claw portion 722 of the engaging piece 72 engages with the engaging hole 612 of the base material 60, and the block body 70 is attached to the base material 60. Therefore, even if one attempts to pull the block body 70 outwards relative to the base material 60, the engaging claw portion 722 abuts against and engages with the engaging hole 612, preventing the block body 70 from detaching from the base material 60. Furthermore, if the anti-theft screw 90 is removed from the screw hole 716, the engaging piece portion 72 returns to its original position, and the engaging claw portion 722 disengages from the engaging hole 612, allowing the block body 70 to be removed from the base material 60. For this reason, the anti-theft screw 90 is a screw that abuts against the engaging piece portion 72.
[0034] In this embodiment, the first setting block 40 and the second setting block 50, which are attached to the intermediate parts of the upper frame 21, lower frame 22, and vertical frames 23 and 24 respectively, do not have panel retaining members 80 attached to them. However, panel retaining members 80 may also be attached to these setting blocks 40 and 50. Next, the trim strip 38 is attached to the trim strip mounting grooves 35 of the upper frame 21, lower frame 22, and vertical frames 23 and 24. As shown in Figure 20, the trim strip 38 covers the heads of the security screws 90, preventing the security screws 90 from being exposed to the outside. With these steps completed, the door body 20 with the panel 25 held in place is finished.
[0035] If a gap occurs between the second setting block 50 attached to the upper frame 21 and the panel 25, a predetermined number of thin set plates are inserted between the surface 711 of the block body 70 and the panel 25. Similarly, if a gap occurs between the second setting block 50 attached to the upper end of the vertical frame 24 and the panel 25, a predetermined number of thin set plates are inserted between the surface 711 of the block body 70 and the panel 25.
[0036] [Effects of the Embodiment] Since the second setting block 50 is composed of a base material 60 and a block body 70, the base material 60 can be pre-attached to the panel holding frame 20A before installing the panel 25, and the block body 70 can be retrofitted between the base material 60 and the panel 25 after the panel 25 has been positioned. Therefore, the gap between the base material 60 and the panel 25 can be made larger before installing the block body 70, and the panel 25 can be positioned within the panel holding frame 20A by an automated machine. This improves the ease of assembly of the panel 25.
[0037] The anti-theft screw 90 screwed into the block body 70 deforms the engaging piece 72, and the engaging claw 722 engages with the engaging hole 612 in the base material 60. As long as the anti-theft screw 90 is not removed, the block body 70 cannot be removed from the base material 60. Therefore, the use of an anti-theft screw 90 improves the security performance. Furthermore, since the security screws 90 are covered by the trim 38, the aesthetic design of the back door 1 can be improved. In addition, when replacing the panel 25, the block body 70 can be removed by removing the trim 38 and the security screws 90, making it easy to replace the panel 25.
[0038] The second setting block 50, which has a base material 60 and a block body 70, is attached only to the upper frame 21 and vertical frame 24, while the lower frame 22 and vertical frame 23 are fitted with the first setting block 40, which is an integrated and inexpensive type, thus reducing costs.
[0039] [Differentiation] However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment. For example, the fixtures to which the setting blocks 40 and 50 are attached are not limited to the back door 1, but may also be various types of doors such as front doors, or various types of windows such as sliding windows, casement windows, and fixed windows, and can be used with various types of fixtures that utilize setting blocks. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the second setting block 50 was attached to the upper frame 21 and the vertical frame 24, and the first setting block 40 was attached to the lower frame 22 and the vertical frame 23. However, the opposite may be true: the second setting block 50 may be attached to the lower frame 22 and the vertical frame 23, and the first setting block 40 may be attached to the upper frame 21 and the vertical frame 24. Furthermore, the first setting block 40 may be attached to one of the upper frame 21, lower frame 22, and vertical frames 23 and 24, and the second setting block 50 may be attached to the remaining three frames, or the second setting block 50 may be attached to all four frames: the upper frame 21, lower frame 22, and vertical frames 23 and 24.
[0040] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the support projection 32 of the frame body 30 was positioned on the indoor side of the panel 25 and the trim 38 was positioned on the outdoor side of the panel 25. However, it is also possible for the trim 38 to be positioned on the indoor side of the panel 25 and the support projection 32 to be positioned on the outdoor side of the panel 25. In this case, the second setting block 50 should be attached to the base material 60 in a manner that attaches the block body 70 from the indoor side in the depth direction.
[0041] In the above embodiment, the block body 70 is provided with a screw hole 716 into which a security screw 90 is screwed, and an engaging piece 72 that deforms when the security screw 90, which is a screw, comes into contact with it, and the base material 60 is provided with an engaging hole 612 which is an engaged part into which the engaging piece 72 engages. However, conversely, the base material may be provided with a screw hole and an engaging piece, and the block body may be provided with an engaged part. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the block body 70 was attached to the base material 60 by screwing a security screw 90 into the block body 70 and deforming the engaging piece 72 to engage the engaging claw 722 with the engaging hole 612, which is the engaged part of the base material 60. However, it is also possible to attach them without using a security screw 90. For example, the block body 70 and the base material 60 may be attached using a snap structure.
[0042] [summary] The setting block of the present invention is a setting block that is attached to a panel holding frame for holding a panel, and comprises a base material attached to the panel holding frame and a block body attached to the base material, wherein the base material is attached to the visible surface of the panel holding frame, and the block body is attached to the base material from the visible direction of the panel holding frame and is positioned between the base material and the panel. The setting block of the present invention consists of two components: a base material and a block body. The block body is attached to the base material from the direction of the panel holding frame's depth and positioned between the base material and the panel. Therefore, when only the base material is attached to the depth surface of the panel holding frame, the gap between the base material and the panel can be made larger. As a result, the panel can be placed inside the panel holding frame by an automated machine, reducing the burden on the worker and improving the efficiency of panel assembly.
[0043] In the setting block of the present invention, it is preferable that one of the base material and the block body has a screw hole into which a screw is screwed from the depth direction and an engaging piece that deforms when the screw screwed into the screw hole comes into contact with it, and the other of the base material and the block body has an engaged portion into which the engaging piece that has been deformed by the contact of the screw is engaged. According to the present invention, by screwing a screw into a screw hole in the block body or base material and deforming the screw by bringing it into contact with the engaging piece of the block body or base material, the engaging piece can be engaged with the engaged portion of the base material or block body. Therefore, as long as the screw is not removed, it is possible to prevent the block body from coming off the base material. Accordingly, by using a security screw as the screw, the security performance can also be improved.
[0044] The joinery of the present invention comprises a panel, a panel holding frame comprising an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames for holding the panel, a first setting block, and a second setting block, wherein the first setting block is attached to one of the upper frame or the lower frame and one of the left and right vertical frames, and the second setting block comprises a base material attached to the other of the upper frame or the lower frame and the other of the left and right vertical frames, and a block body attached to the base material, wherein the base material is attached to the visible surface of the panel holding frame, and the block body is attached to the base material from the visible direction of the panel holding frame and positioned between the base material and the panel. According to the present invention, a first setting block is attached to one of the upper and lower frames of the panel holding frame and to one of the left and right vertical frames, and a second setting block is attached to the other of the upper and lower frames and to the other of the left and right vertical frames. Since the second setting block comprises a base material and a block body, by attaching only the base material to the panel holding frame first, the gap between the base material and the panel can be made larger, allowing the panel to be positioned by an automated machine. As a result, the panel can be positioned within the panel holding frame by an automated machine, reducing the burden on the worker and improving the efficiency of panel assembly. Furthermore, since the two frames of the panel holding frame are fitted with an integrated and inexpensive first setting block, costs can also be reduced.
[0045] In the joinery of the present invention, one of the base material and the block body has a screw hole into which a screw is screwed from the depth direction and an engaging piece that deforms when the screw screwed into the screw hole comes into contact with it, the other of the base material and the block body has an engaged portion into which the engaged piece that has been deformed by the contact of the screw is locked, the panel holding frame has a trim for holding the panel, and preferably the screw is covered by the trim. According to the present invention, the main body cannot be removed from the base material unless the screws are removed, and by using anti-theft screws, the security performance can be improved. In addition, since the screws are covered by the trim, the aesthetic appearance can be improved, and if it becomes necessary to replace the panel, it can be easily replaced by removing the trim and screws.
[0046] The present invention relates to a method for assembling a joinery comprising a panel, a panel holding frame comprising an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames for holding the panel, a first setting block, and a second setting block, wherein the second setting block comprises a base material and a block body, and the first setting block is attached to the visible surface of one of the upper frame or the lower frame and the visible surface of one of the left and right vertical frames, the base material is attached to the visible surface of the other of the upper frame or the lower frame and the visible surface of the other of the left and right vertical frames, the panel is placed in the panel holding frame, and the block body is inserted between the base material and the panel from the visible direction and attached to the base material. According to the present invention, a first setting block is attached to one of the upper and lower frames of the panel holding frame and to one of the left and right vertical frames, and a second setting block is attached to the other of the upper and lower frames and to the other of the left and right vertical frames. Since the second setting block comprises a base material and a main body, by attaching only the base material to the panel holding frame first, the gap between the base material and the panel can be increased, allowing the panel to be positioned by an automated machine. As a result, the panel can be positioned within the panel holding frame by an automated machine, reducing the burden on the worker and improving the efficiency of panel assembly.
