[0008] A method for manufacturing a window according to one embodiment and a mounting jig for a bead material or a backer material used in manufacturing a window will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0009] The window manufacturing method of one embodiment can be used to manufacture fixed windows, etc., in which an upper frame (horizontal member) 11, a lower frame (horizontal member) 12, and left and right vertical frames (vertical members) 13, 13 are assembled around all four sides, and a panel body 15 such as a single-pane glass is fitted around the inner periphery, as shown in Figure 1.

[0010] In this embodiment, the upper frame 11, lower frame 12 and left and right vertical frames 13, 13 of the window are each provided with panel openings 11a, 12a, 13a on their inner peripheries. The upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 are integrally formed with frontage walls 11b, 12b on one side (outside the room) and frontage walls 11c, 12c on the other side (inside the room), providing panel frontages 11a, 12a.

[0011] The left and right vertical frames 13, 13 have a vertical frame main body 131 which is integrally formed with an entrance wall 131b, 131b on one side (the outside of the room) and a push edge 132 attached to form an entrance wall 13c, 13c on the other side (the inside of the room), and panel openings 13a, 13a are provided.

[0012] The panel openings 11a, 12a, 13a of the upper frame 11, lower frame 12 and left and right vertical frames 13, 13 have a pre-attached bead b1 attached to the opening walls 11b, 12b, 13b on one side (the outside of the room), and the panel body 15 is positioned by being pressed against the pre-attached bead b1, and a backup material b2 is inserted and held between the opening walls 11c, 12c, 13c on the other side (the inside of the room) and the panel body 15.

[0013] In addition, the groove-like portions between the front walls 11c, 12c, 13c on the other side (inside the room) of each frame member, which are formed by inserting the backup material b2, and the panel body 15, are filled with a seal material s. The lower frame 12 supports the panel body 15 by means of a setting block 4 arranged within the panel opening 12a.

[0014] As shown in Figure 2, the window of the other embodiment differs from the window of the first embodiment only in that a bead material b3 is provided between the other side (inside of the room) frontage wall 11c, 12c, 13c and the panel body 15 instead of the backup material b2 and sealing material s; otherwise, the two are the same, so detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0015] As described above, in the window exemplified in this embodiment, the panel body 15 is held against the panel openings 11a, 12a, 13a (hereinafter, representatively, "panel opening 13a") via the pre-attached bead b1 and the back-up material b2, or the pre-attached bead b1 and the bead material b3. In such a window, when the panel body 15 is attached to the panel opening 13a, the back-up material b2 or the bead material b3 (hereinafter, "back-up material b2, etc.") is inserted between the panel body 15, which is arranged by being pressed against the pre-attached bead b1, and the opening wall 11c, 12c, 13c on the other side (indoor side) (hereinafter, representatively, "opening wall 13c").

[0016] Here, even with such windows, in order to ensure watertightness, it is necessary to firmly abut the panel body 15 and the front walls 13a, 13c against the pre-attached bead b1 and back-up material b2 of the panel frontage 13a. As a result, there is no room in the dimensions between the panel body 15 and the front wall 13c for inserting the later-attached back-up material b2, etc., making it difficult to insert the back-up material b2, etc.

[0017] Therefore, in the window manufacturing method of this embodiment, prior to inserting the backup material b2, etc., a member that maintains the gap between the panel body 15 and the front wall 13c on the other side (inside the room) is selectively inserted, making it possible to easily and reliably insert the backup material b2, etc. Further explanation is provided below.

[0018] FIG. 3 shows an example of a mounting jig for a bead material or a back-up material (hereinafter, "mounting jig") used in the manufacturing method of a window of this embodiment. The mounting jig 5 of this embodiment is made of synthetic resin, and has a main body portion 51, a plurality of insertion portions 52, and a plurality of push-in portions 53.

[0019] The main body 51 of the mounting jig 5 is formed as a flat plate shaped like an equilateral triangle when viewed in a plane, and three insertion portions 52 protruding toward the outer periphery are integrally formed on the three outer peripheral surfaces (visible surfaces) of the main body 51.

[0020] The insertion portion 52 of the mounting jig 5 is in the shape of an equilateral triangle with one side the same length as the main body portion 51, and the mounting jig 5 has insertion portions 52 with different thicknesses t1, t2, t3 integrally formed on the three outer peripheral surfaces of the main body portion 51, and the main body portion 51 and the insertion portions 52 form an approximately equilateral triangle with one side twice the length of the side of the main body portion 51.

[0021] The insertion portion 52 has a spacing portion 52a having a predetermined thickness, and a wedge portion 52b that is continuous with the outer periphery of the spacing portion 52a and whose thickness decreases toward the outer periphery.

[0022] The mounting jig 5 of this embodiment is provided with spacing retaining portions 52a having predetermined thicknesses of 5 mm (t1), 6 mm (t2), and 7 mm (t3), and the upper surface of the spacing retaining portion 52a is marked with a marking indicating the thickness.

[0023] The pushing-in portion 53 of the mounting jig 5 has an approximately equilateral triangular shape and is integrally formed so that one point of the triangle of the pushing-in portion 53 protrudes from the center position of a side of the outer peripheral surface of the approximately equilateral triangular jig body formed by the main body portion 51 and the insertion portion 52.

[0024] The multiple push-in portions 53 have a thickness dimension smaller than the thickness dimension of the insertion portion 52 which has the smallest thickness, and their tips are not sharp but are formed by a curved surface. The mounting jig 5 is provided with two push-in portions 53 having different protrusion dimensions t4, t5 to a point (tip) protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the jig body.

[0025] The mounting jig 5 of this embodiment is provided with two push-in portions 53 having protruding dimensions of 5 mm (t4) and 7 mm (t5).

[0026] Next, an example of a process for attaching the back-up material b2 using the mounting jig 5 of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the manufacturing method of this embodiment will be described using an example in which the backup material b2 is fitted into the vertical frame (vertical member) 13 of a shoji screen, but the method may be used when fitting the backup material into the horizontal frame (horizontal member) instead of the vertical frame (vertical member). Also, the method may be used when fitting the bead material b3 into the vertical member or horizontal member.

[0027] The window has a front bead b1 attached to a front wall 13b on one side of a panel frontage 13a of a vertical frame (vertical member) 13 that holds a panel body 15. The worker places the side edge of the panel body 15 against the panel opening 13a to which the pre-attached bead b1 has been attached.

[0028] Prior to inserting the backup material b2 between the frontage wall 13c on the other side of the panel frontage 13a and the panel body 15, the worker uses two spacing-maintaining mounting jigs 5, as shown in Figure 4(a), and selects an insertion portion 52 of a thickness corresponding to the vertical frame 13 and the backup material b2 from among a plurality of insertion portions 52 of different thickness dimensions of the mounting jigs 5. To give a specific example, the operator selects an insertion portion 52 having a thickness dimension equal to or slightly larger than the width dimension of the back-up material b2 to be inserted.

[0029] The worker inserts the selected insertion portion 52 into the gap between the other side of the frontage wall 13c and the panel body 15, and advances the insertion portion 52 until the spacing retaining portion 52a reaches a position between the frontage wall 13c and the panel body 15, for example, until the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 51 abuts against the frontage wall 13c. When the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 51 abuts against the front wall 13c, it can be recognized that the mounting jig 5 has been inserted to an appropriate position. It is preferable that the insertion portion 52 is inserted into the vertical member 13 on one side at two locations near both ends.

[0030] At this time, the insertion portion 52 of the mounting jig 5 has a wedge portion 52b that becomes thinner toward the end, so that it can be smoothly inserted into the gap between the other side of the front wall 13c and the panel body 15.

[0031] The vertical frame 13 has spacing retaining portions 52a arranged in the gap between the other side front wall 13c and the panel body 15 at two locations near both ends of one side, thereby enabling the gap between the other side front wall 13c and the panel body 15 to be maintained at a distance equal to the thickness dimension of the spacing retaining portion 52a.

[0032] The worker inserts backup material b2 into the gap between the other side frontage wall 13c and the panel body 15, which has been maintained at a specified dimension by inserting the spacing retaining portion 52a of the spacing retaining mounting jig 5, as shown in Figure 4(b).

[0033] Next, as shown in Figure 5(a), the worker uses a pushing mounting jig 5 and selects a pushing portion 53 with a protruding dimension corresponding to the vertical frame 13 and backup material b2 from among the multiple pushing portions 53 with different protruding dimensions of the mounting jig 5, and presses it against the gap between the other side of the front wall 13c and the panel body 15 between the two points where the two spacing-maintaining mounting jigs 5 have been inserted.

[0034] The worker then pushes the pushing-in mounting jig 5 into the gap, and then removes the spacing-maintaining mounting jig 5 that was inserted into the gap, while sliding it along the vertical frame 13, thereby enabling the backup material b2 to be uniformly positioned at a specified depth position, as shown in Figure 5(b).

[0035] As described above, in the window manufacturing method of this embodiment, prior to inserting the backup material between the frontage wall of the panel frontage and the panel body, an insertion portion of an appropriate thickness is selected from a plurality of insertion portions of different thicknesses and inserted to create a gap at an appropriate interval for inserting the backup material (bead material).This means that the backup material can be easily inserted without placing excessive stress on the frontage wall of the panel frontage, improving workability.

[0036] The backup material inserted between the front wall of the panel front and the panel body can be pushed in by a push-in part having a predetermined protruding dimension, so that the backup material can be arranged parallel to the frame material, forming a sealant filling groove of uniform depth. Also, the force applied between the front wall and the panel body can be made uniform, which can suppress damage due to deterioration over time, and the sealant can be filled uniformly, improving workability.

[0037] In the window of the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the mounting jig for maintaining the spacing and the mounting jig for pushing in are both used as a single unit, and the backup material is attached using a mounting jig having three insertion portions 52 and two push-in portions 53 formed as one piece. However, the insertion portions and push-in portions do not all have to be formed as a single unit, and the backup material may be attached using a plurality of mounting jigs having insertion portions and / or pushing portions.

[0038] Furthermore, the thickness dimension of the spacing retaining portion 52a of the insertion portion 52 of the mounting jig 5 is not limited to 5 mm, 6 mm, or 7 mm, and the mounting jig 5 may be provided with two insertion portions 52 having different thickness dimensions. Furthermore, the protruding dimension of the push-in portion 53 of the mounting jig 5 is not limited to 5 mm or 7 mm, and the mounting jig 5 may be provided with three push-in portions 53 with different protruding dimensions.

[0039] Furthermore, although each worker may manage their own installation jigs, when selling, transporting, or installing a window, multiple installation jigs may be attached to the frame, panel, back-up materials, etc. and managed as a window set.

[0040] It goes without saying that the above embodiments do not limit the invention described in the claims, but are treated as examples. [Explanation of symbols]
