Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a window structure, and more particularly to a screen window anti-falling structure.

Background Art

[0002] In order to combine ventilation and insect prevention, screen windows are installed in many common movable windows.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] However, since the screen window is lightweight, when a user presses the screen window, the force is often too strong and the screen window may fall off. The screen window may fall outdoors and be damaged, or hit a person below, leading to casualties. Many conventional screen windows make it difficult for the screen window to fall by reducing the space where the screen window can be lifted upward by an elastic pressure member, thereby reducing the possibility of falling. However, it becomes inconvenient for the user to attach and detach, and when the elastic pressure member is used for a long time, the elastic pressure effect is lost due to fatigue. In addition, since the screen window is lightweight, it may be blown by strong winds or displaced by vibrations, and a gap is likely to occur between the screen window and the main window frame. Rainwater and dust invaded the room through the gap between the screen window and the main window frame, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0004] Therefore, the inventor of the present invention considered that the above-mentioned drawbacks could be improved, and as a result of intensive studies, the present invention was proposed to effectively improve the above-mentioned problems through a reasonable design.

[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide a screen window fall prevention structure that can prevent the screen window from falling from the main window frame, reduce damage caused by the fall, and reduce casualties and accidents in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a screen window fall prevention structure according to an aspect of the present invention includes a main window frame, an outer glass window, a screen window, and a lock kit. The main window frame includes a first side jamb and a second side jamb, and the first side jamb and the second side jamb are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. The first side jamb has an attachment surface facing the second side jamb, and the outer glass window is accommodated within the main window frame and is slidably installed between the first side jamb and the second side jamb along the vertical direction. The screen window is accommodated within the main window frame and is slidably installed between the first side jamb and the second side jamb along the vertical direction. The screen window is located outside the outer glass window and is parallel to the outer glass window. The screen window has a baffle, and the baffle protrudes inside the screen window and is adjacent to the first side jamb. The lock kit is composed of a holder and a stopper. The holder is installed on the attachment surface, and the stopper is movably installed on the holder and can be switched between a locked position and a released position. When the stopper is in the locked position, the stopper protrudes from the holder and stops on a side facing the second side jamb of the baffle to limit the vertical sliding of the screen window. When the stopper is in the released position, the stopper does not protrude from the holder, and the screen window can slide along the vertical direction.

[0007] In a preferred example of the present invention, the stopper includes a pivoting portion and a lever. The pivoting portion is pivotally provided on one side spaced apart from the first side wall pillar of the holder. When the stopper is in the locked position, the lever is perpendicular to the first side wall pillar and stops on one side of the baffle. When the stopper is in the released position, the lever is parallel to the first side wall pillar.

[0008] In a preferred example of the present invention, the pivoting portion has a pivot shaft, the holder has a pivot hole, and the pivot shaft is pivotally attached within the pivot hole.

[0009] In a preferred example of the present invention, the stopper includes a rod body and a head. The rod body is movably penetrated through the holder and has a connection end and a stop end. The head is connected to the connection end and is exposed on one side of the holder. When the stopper is in the locked position, the stop end protrudes from the holder and stops on one side of the baffle. When the stopper is in the released position, the stop end is accommodated within the holder.

[0010] In a preferred example of the present invention, the baffle is parallel to the mounting surface.

[0011] In a preferred example of the present invention, the screen window has a first hook that protrudes inside the screen window and extends toward the first side wall pillar. The outer glass window has a second hook that protrudes outside the outer glass window and extends toward the second side wall pillar. The first hook and the second hook are engaged so as to intersect.

[0012] In a preferred example of the present invention, the first hook is located at one end adjacent to the second side wall pillar of the screen window, and the second hook is located at one end adjacent to the first side wall pillar of the outer glass window.

Advantages of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, there are the following effects. The stopper is movably installed on the holder and can be switched between a locked position and a released position. When the stopper is in the locked position, it protrudes toward the holder and stops on one side facing the second side column of the baffle. By doing so, the vertical sliding of the screen window is restricted, preventing the screen window from falling from the main window frame, further preventing damage caused by falling and situations leading to personal accidents.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. Also, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential for the solution means of the invention.

[0017] First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail.

[0018] (First Embodiment) The screen window fall prevention structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a main window frame 10, an outer glass window 20, a screen window 30, and a lock kit 40.

[0019] The main window frame 10 includes a first side post 11, a second side post 12, an upper frame 13, and a lower frame 14. The first side post 11 and the second side post 12 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction D. The upper frame 13 and the lower frame 14 are arranged in parallel at intervals and are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the first side post 11 and the second side post 12, so that an accommodation space (not shown) is formed between the first side post 11, the second side post 12, the upper frame 13, and the lower frame 14. The first side post 11 has an attachment surface 111 directed toward the second side post 12, that is, the attachment surface 111 is directed toward the accommodation space. Further, the upper frame 13 and the lower frame 14 are directed toward both sides of each other and both have three rails (not shown), and the outer glass window 20, the screen window 30, and the inner glass window described later can be slidably attached to each rail.

[0020] The outer glass window 20 is accommodated in the accommodation space of the main window frame 10, and the outer glass window 20 is slidably installed between the first side post 11 and the second side post 12 along the vertical direction D. Specifically, the upper and lower sides of the outer glass window 20 are respectively attached to the rails of the upper frame 13 and the lower frame 14 and are slidable along the vertical direction D. The outer glass window 20 includes an external glass window frame 21 and an outer glass sheet 22 fixed within the external glass window frame 21.

[0021] The screen window 30 is accommodated within the accommodation space of the main window frame 10 and is slidably installed between the first side wall column 11 and the second side wall column 12 along the vertical direction D. Specifically, both the upper and lower sides of the screen window 30 are respectively attached to the rails of the upper frame 13 and the lower frame 14 and are slidable along the vertical direction D. The screen window 30 includes a screen window frame 31 and a screen window sheet 32. The screen window 30 is located outside the outer glass window 20 and is parallel to the outer glass window 20. The screen window frame 31 of the screen window 30 has a baffle 33. The baffle 33 protrudes inside the screen window 30 and is adjacent to the first side wall column 11. In this embodiment, the baffle 33 is parallel to the attachment surface 111, that is, the baffle is perpendicular to the inside of the screen window frame 31, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0022] The lock kit 40 includes a holder 41 and a stopper 42. The holder 41 is installed on the attachment surface 111 and is specifically fixed to the attachment surface 111 by means such as locking, adhesion, welding, brazing, engagement, and mating, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The stopper 42 is movably installed on the holder 41, and the stopper 42 is switchable between a locked position and a released position.

[0023] In this case, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when the stopper 42 is in the locked position, the stopper 42 protrudes into the holder 41 and stops on one side facing the second side wall pillar 12 of the baffle 33, thereby restricting the vertical slide of the screen window 30. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the stopper 42 is in the released position, the stopper 42 does not protrude into the holder 41, and the screen window 30 can slide left and right along the vertical direction D. In this way, when the stopper 42 is in the locked position, it stops on one side facing the second side wall pillar 12 of the baffle 33, and the vertical slide of the screen window 30 can be restricted. The upper and lower sides of the screen window 30 are respectively attached to the rails of the upper frame 13 and the lower frame 14. Therefore, the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the screen window 30 are all restricted from moving, and the screen window 30 is locked so as not to fall from the main window frame 10, preventing the screen window 30 from falling and being damaged or causing personal accidents. Also, since the baffle 33 extends so as to protrude from the inside of the screen window 30, not only is it convenient to control the manufacturing and tolerance sizes, but rainwater and dust on the outside of the screen window 30 are blocked by the baffle 33, making it difficult for them to enter the room and easier for the user to wipe off.

[0024] Specifically, referring again to FIGS. 2, 3, 5 and 6, the stopper 42 according to this embodiment includes a pivoting portion 421 and a lever 422. The pivoting portion 421 is pivotally provided on one side spaced from the first side wall column 11 of the holder 41. Specifically, the pivoting portion 421 has a pivot shaft 4211, the holder 41 has a pivot hole 411, and the pivot shaft 4211 is pivotally attached within the pivot hole 411, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The pivoting portion 421 and the holder 41 may adopt other pivotal attachment methods. By doing so, when the stopper 42 pivots to the locking position, the lever 422 is perpendicular to the first side wall column 11 and stops on one side of the baffle 33, restricting the vertical sliding of the screen window 30. When the stopper 42 pivots to the release position, the lever 422 is parallel to the first side wall column 11, and the screen window 30 can slide left and right along the vertical direction D.

[0025] (Second Embodiment) FIG. 7 is a top cross-sectional view showing the locking position according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The locking kit 40 according to this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in terms of the specific structure. Specifically, the stopper 42 of this embodiment includes a rod body 423 and a head 424. The rod body 423 is movably inserted through the holder 41. In this embodiment, the rod body 423 is slidably inserted through the holder 41, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the rod body 423 may be inserted through the holder 41 so as to be screwed thereto. The rod body 423 has a connection end 4231 and a stop end 4232. The head 424 is connected to the connection end 4231 and is exposed outside one side of the holder 41. In this way, when the stopper 42 slides to the locking position, the stop end 4232 of the rod body 423 protrudes into the holder 41 and stops on one side of the baffle 33, restricting the vertical sliding of the screen window 30. When the stopper 42 slides to the release position, the stop end 4232 is received in the holder 41, and the screen window 30 can slide left and right along the vertical direction D. Further, the locking kit 40 according to this embodiment further includes a reset button 43. When moving the stopper 42 from the locking position to the release position, the user only needs to press the reset button 43, and the spring inside causes the stopper 42 to reset to the release position. When moving the stopper 42 from the release position, it is only necessary to press the head 424 of the stopper 42.

[0026] More specifically, refer to FIGS. 3 and 6 again. The screen window frame 31 of the screen window 30 according to the present invention has a first hook 311, and the outer glass window frame 21 outside the outer glass window 20 has a second hook 211. The first hook 311 protrudes inside the screen window 30 and extends toward the first side wall column 11. The second hook 211 protrudes outside the outer glass window 20 and extends toward the second side wall column 12. Specifically, the first hook 311 is located at one end adjacent to the second side wall column 12 of the screen window 30, and the second hook 211 is located at one end adjacent to the first side wall column 11 of the outer glass window 20. The first hook 311 and the second hook 211 are engaged in an intersecting manner, and the screen window 30 and the outer glass window 20 are locked to each other, making it difficult for them to fall from the main window frame 10, and further improving the anti-falling effect of the screen window 30. Also, since the first hook 311 extends toward the first side wall column 11 and the second hook 211 extends toward the second side wall column 12, rainwater and dust outside the screen window 30 and the outer glass window 20 are blocked by the first hook 311 and the second hook 211, making it difficult for them to enter the room.

[0027] In addition, the anti-falling structure of the screen window 30 according to the present invention further includes an inner glass window 50. The structure of the inner glass window 50 is substantially the same as that of the outer glass window 20. The outer glass window frame 21 outside the outer glass window 20 has a third hook 212, and the inner glass window frame 51 inside the inner glass window 50 has a fourth hook 511. The third hook 212 protrudes inside the outer glass window 20 and extends toward the second side wall post 12. The fourth hook 511 protrudes outside the inner glass window 50 and extends toward the first side wall post 11. Specifically, the third hook 212 is located at one end adjacent to the first side wall post 11 of the outer glass window 20, and the fourth hook 511 is located at one end adjacent to the second side wall post 12 of the inner glass window 50. The third hook 212 and the fourth hook 511 are engaged in an intersecting manner, so that the outer glass window 20 and the inner glass window 50 are locked to each other, making it difficult for them to fall from the main window frame 10.

[0028] In the anti-falling structure of the screen window 30 according to the present invention, since the stopper 42 is movably installed on the holder 41 and can be switched between a locked position and a released position, when the stopper 42 is in the locked position, it protrudes into the holder 41 and stops on one side facing the second side wall post 12 of the baffle 33. By restricting the vertical slide of the screen window 30, the situation where the screen window 30 falls from the main window frame 10 is effectively prevented, so that it does not fall and break, or a personal accident does not occur.

[0029] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope shown in the claims. Embodiments obtained by appropriately combining technical means devised in different embodiments are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
