[0024] The angle material 122 has an angle portion 122a consisting of a concealed wall, and an engaging portion 122b that engages with the angle material engaged portion 121f of the lower frame body 121. The engaging portion 122b of the angle member 122 is composed of a pair of engaging pieces 122c, 122d extending in the outer circumferential direction from the outer circumferential surface on the outdoor side of the angle portion 122a.
[0025] The angle material 112 is attached to the lower frame body 121 by engaging an engaging portion 122b consisting of a pair of engaging pieces 122c, 122d with an angle material engaged portion 121f consisting of a pair of engaged portions 121h, 121i of the lower frame body 121.
[0026] The pressing edge 123 has a pressing edge main body 123a having a hollow rectangular cross section, and an engaging portion 123b that engages with the pressing edge engaged portion 121g of the lower frame main body 121. The engagement portion 123b of the pressing edge 123 is composed of a pair of engagement pieces 123c, 123d extending in the outer circumferential direction from the outer circumferential surface of the pressing edge main body 123a.
[0027] The pressing edge 123 is attached to the lower frame body 121 by an engaging portion 123b consisting of a pair of engaging pieces 123c, 123d engaging with a pressing edge engaged portion 121g consisting of a pair of engaged portions 121j, 121k of the lower frame body 121. When the flange 123 is attached to the lower frame body 121, the indoor side outer peripheral surface of the flange body 123a abuts the inner peripheral surface of the angle iron 122, and is positioned protruding inwardly beyond the angle iron 122.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3, the left and right vertical frames 13 that make up the frame body 1 have a vertical frame body (frame body) 131 made of a metal material such as aluminum alloy, a resin angle bar 132 attached to the inner periphery of the vertical frame body 131 on the indoor side, and a resin push edge 133 attached to the outdoor side of the angle bar 132.
[0030] The vertical frame main body 131 has a concealed wall 131a that forms the inner surface of the vertical frame 13, an indoor side concealed wall portion 131b that continues from the indoor side of the concealed wall 131a, an outdoor side frontage wall portion 131c that extends inwardly from the outdoor side inner surface of the concealed wall 131a, a first engagement piece 131d that extends inwardly from the indoor side inner surface of the concealed wall 131a, and a second engagement piece 131e that extends inwardly from the inner surface of the concealed wall 131a on the outdoor side further than the first engagement piece 131d.
[0031] The vertical frame body 131 has an angle material engaged portion 131f and a ledge engaged portion 131g formed on the indoor inner peripheral surface with which the angle material 132 and the ledge 133 engage. Specifically, the vertical frame main body 131 has an engaged portion 131h formed on the outside of the inner circumferential end of the indoor side visible wall portion 131b, and an engaged portion 131i formed on the indoor side of the first engaging piece 131d, and the pair of engaged portions 131h, 131i form an angle iron engaged portion 131f with which the angle iron 132 engages.
[0032] In addition, the vertical frame main body 131 has an engaged portion 131j formed on the outdoor side of the first engaging piece 131d, and an engaged portion 131k formed on the indoor side of the inner end of the second engaging piece 131e, and the pair of engaged portions 131j, 131k form a pressing edge engaged portion 131g with which the pressing edge 133 engages.
[0033] The angle iron 132 has an angle portion 132a consisting of a concave wall, a hollow portion 132b formed on the exterior outer periphery of the angle portion 132a, an engaging portion 132c formed on the exterior periphery of the hollow portion 132b and engaging with the angle iron engaged portion 131f of the vertical frame main body 131, and a protrusion 132f extending from the exterior side of the hollow portion 132b to the exterior side. The engaging portion 132c of the angle member 132 is composed of a pair of engaging claws 132d, 132e extending in the outer circumferential direction from the outer circumferential surface of the hollow portion 132b.
[0034] The angle iron 132 is attached to the vertical frame body 131 by engaging an engaging portion 132c consisting of a pair of engaging claws 132d, 132e with an angle iron engaged portion 131f consisting of a pair of engaged portions 131h, 131i of the vertical frame body 131.
[0035] The flange 133 has a flange main body 133a having a hollow rectangular cross section, and an engagement portion 133b that engages with the flange engaged portion 131g of the vertical frame main body 131. The engagement portion 133b of the pressing edge 133 is composed of a pair of engagement pieces 133c, 133d extending in the outer circumferential direction from the outer circumferential surface of the pressing edge main body 133a.
[0036] The pressing edge 133 is attached to the lower frame main body 121 by engaging an engaging portion 133b consisting of a pair of engaging pieces 133c, 133d with a pressing edge engaged portion 131g consisting of a pair of engaged portions 131j, 131k of the vertical frame main body 131. When the flange 133 is attached to the vertical frame body 131, the indoor outer peripheral surface of the flange body 133a abuts against the protrusion 132f formed on the indoor outer surface of the hollow section 132b of the angle iron 132, and the inner peripheral surface of the angle iron 132 and the inner peripheral surface of the flange 133 are arranged flush with each other.
[0037] The vertical frame 13 has a panel opening 13a formed by the outdoor side opening wall portion 131c of the vertical frame main body 131 and a pressing edge 133, and holds the panel body 15 made of double-glazed glass or the like with a sealing material such as beet material.
[0038] In the FIX window of this embodiment, the panel body 15 is inserted into the frame body 1 by a horizontal push-in, and the panel body 15 is held within the frame body 1 by attaching sealing members such as a batten and bead material. Therefore, the left and right vertical frames 13, 13 that receive the horizontal kendons of the panel body 15 have a panel opening 13a of sufficient depth for the installation of the panel body 15 using the kendons. However, after the panel body 15 is fitted in, a relatively large space is created between the outer surface of the panel body 15 and the panel opening 13a, so it was necessary to place a glass base plate to prevent the panel body 15 from shifting left and right.
[0039] The FIX window of this embodiment allows the panel body 15 to be attached to the left and right vertical frames 13 using a push-button, and is provided with a panel spacer 5 that regulates left and right misalignment of the panel body 15 after the panel body 15 is installed. The details will be explained below.
[0040] The panel spacer 5 provided on the left and right vertical frames 13 is a part made of a resin material, and as shown in Figures 4(a) and (b), has a block-shaped spacer main body 5a that regulates the insertion of the panel body 15 into the panel opening 13a, and a plate-shaped mounting portion 5b that protrudes from one side of the spacer main body 5a, and an axial hole 5c formed in the mounting portion 5b.
[0041] One or more panel spacers 5 are attached to the inner peripheral surface of the concealed wall 131 a of the vertical frame 13 . As shown in Figures 4(c) and (d), at the location where the panel spacer 5 is attached, the second engagement piece 131e is cut out over an area greater than or equal to the longitudinal dimension of the panel spacer 5, and a pair of engagement pieces 133c, 133d of the pressing edge 133 are cut out over an area greater than or equal to the longitudinal dimension of the panel spacer 5. When the panel body 15 is inserted into the vertical frame 13 by means of a push-in fastener, the vertical frame 13 has its edge 133 removed.
[0042] The panel spacer 5 is positioned between the first engagement piece 131d and the second engagement piece 131e on the inner surface of the projected wall 131a of the vertical frame 13, with the spacer main body portion 5a on top and the mounting portion 5b on the bottom, and the axial hole 5c provided in the mounting portion 5b is axially fixed to the projected wall 131a by a fixing means such as a screw.
[0043] The panel spacer 5 attached to the inner surface of the projection wall 131a is freely rotatable around the axial hole 5c, and is allowed to rotate from a vertical state in which the indoor side of the panel spacer 5 abuts the first engagement piece 131d of the vertical frame main body 131 to a tilted state in which the spacer main body portion 5a protrudes to the outside of the room from the cutout portion of the second engagement piece 131e and abuts against the outside front wall portion 131c.
[0044] When the panel spacer 5 is in a vertical position between the first engagement piece 131d and the second engagement piece 131e of the vertical frame main body 131, the spacer main body portion 5a is retracted from within the panel opening 13a, allowing the panel body 15 to be inserted during knock-on, as shown in Figure 4(c).
[0045] On the other hand, when the panel spacer 5 is in a tilted state with the spacer main body 5a protruding to the outside of the room from the cutout portion of the second engagement piece 131e of the vertical frame main body 131, the spacer main body 5a is exposed within the panel opening 13a, making it impossible for the panel body 15 held in the panel opening 13a to move significantly left and right within the panel opening 13a, as shown in Figures 5(a) and (b).
[0046] In a FIX window, the panel body 15 is inserted between the left and right vertical frames 13, 13 using the left and right push-ins, and then the panel spacer 5 is tilted toward the outside of the room to place the panel body 15 in a predetermined position and prevent any left-right misalignment.Then, as shown in Figure 5(a), the panel body 15 can be held in place by attaching a push-in edge 133.
[0047] As described above, in the fixed window of this embodiment, the panel body 15 can be stored by a kendon within the panel openings 13a, 13a of the left and right vertical frames 13, 13 by setting the panel spacer 5 in a vertical position, and then, by tilting the panel spacer 5, the panel spacer 5 can restrict the movement of the panel body 15 to the left and right, thereby preventing the panel body 15 from falling off.
[0048] The panel spacer 5 is attached so that it can freely rotate around the axis hole 5c, with the spacer main body 5a, which regulates the insertion of the panel body 15 into the panel opening 13a, facing upward. Therefore, after inserting the panel body 15 into the panel opening 13a using a push-in, the panel spacer 5 can be rotated to a tilted state by tilting the fixed window so that the upper frame 11 is on the opposite side to the angle iron, making installation easy.
[0049] When a fixed window has the panel body 15 fitted into the frame body 1 and transported to the installation site, there is a possibility that the panel body 15 may be damaged, such as developing cracks, and the panel body 15 may have to be replaced. In such cases, in windows such as the fixed window of this embodiment, in which the inner surfaces of the angle iron 132 and the edge 133 of the vertical frames 13, 13 are flush, there was concern that the edge 133 would be difficult to remove, making the work of replacing the panel body 15 complicated.
[0050] In the FIX window of this embodiment, an operating hole 131m is formed in the projecting wall 131a that forms the inner surface of the vertical frame body (frame material body) 131 of the left and right vertical frames 13, to release the engagement between the engaging portion of the push-in edge 133 and the engaged portion of the vertical frame body 131, thereby enabling the push-in edge to be removed.
[0051] The operation holes 131m provided in the projection walls 131a of the left and right vertical frames 13 are formed between the first engagement piece 131d and the second engagement piece 131e, as shown in FIG. If it becomes necessary to remove the panel body 15 after the panel body 15 has been fitted into the frame body 1, as shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), a flat-head screwdriver D or the like can be inserted from the outer periphery of the projection wall 131a of the vertical frame 13 through the operating hole 131m to disengage one of the pair of engaging pieces 133c, 133d of the projection edge 133 from the outer periphery of the projection wall 131a of the vertical frame 13, thereby removing the projection edge 133.
[0052] As described above, the FIX window of this embodiment has an operating hole 131m for removing the edging in the projecting wall 131a of the left and right vertical frames 13, making it easy to remove the edging 133 from the frame body 1 and facilitating replacement of the panel body 15, thereby improving the workability of the entire FIX window.
[0053] In addition, the ridge attached to the frame body 1 can be removed by operating the engagement portion of the ridge from the outer periphery of the frame body 1, so that the surface of the ridge is not damaged or scratched, and replacement of the ridge due to scratches or the like can be prevented.
[0054] The above has described the FIX window of this embodiment. In the above FIX window, the frame material on which the panel spacer 5 is provided is a vertical frame, but the frame body on which the panel spacer 5 is provided may be a horizontal material, or it may be provided on one of the frame materials, either the vertical material or the horizontal material, and multiple panel spacers 5 may be provided on one frame material.
[0055] In addition, although the installation of the panel body in a fixed window in this embodiment is described, the opening building material is not limited to a fixed window, but is in no way limited as long as it is an opening building material having a frame body that holds the panel body.
[0056] 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]
