DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 7 show one embodiment of the fitting of the present invention. This fitting is applied to a sliding window for a house, and as shown in Figures 1 and 2, it has a frame 8 attached to an opening in the building frame, and an outer screen 9a and an inner screen 9b that are provided in the frame 8 in a sliding manner so as to be freely opened and closed.

[0008] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the frame 8 is formed by a top frame 10, a bottom frame 7, and left and right vertical frames 1, 11 all around. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the outer screen 9a and the inner screen 9b are constructed by assembling an upper frame 12, a lower frame 13, a door end frame 2, and a joint frame 15 on all four sides, and fitting double-glazed glass 16 inside. Each frame 12, 13, 2, 15 is made up of an aluminum shaped material 17 located on the outside of the room and a plastic shaped material 18 located on the inside of the room, forming a U-shaped glass opening 19 that opens toward the inner periphery, and the double-glazed glass 16 is held in the glass opening 19 via a glazing channel 20, making it a highly insulating screen. When the inner and outer screens 9a and 9b are closed, the outer screen 9a is located on the left side as seen from inside the room, and the inner screen 9b is located on the right side as seen from inside the room, as shown in Figure 1. The outer screen 9a and the inner screen 9b are locked with a crescent (not shown) provided on the door frame 15.

[0009] As shown in Figure 3, the door frame 2 is formed with an aluminum profile 17 having a generally T-shaped cross section with a hollow section 22 only on the outer periphery of the indoor side of the projection wall 21, and the plastic profile 18 has a shape without a hollow section, which makes the visible dimension X of the door frame 2 smaller than that of the conventional one. Also, the door frame 2 has a handle 3 formed by recessing the indoor side corner part on the outer periphery into a quarter arc shape. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper and lower frames 12 and 13 also have a small projection dimension Y, similar to that of the end frame 2. In this fitting, by reducing the apparent dimensions X, Y of the door end frame 2, upper frame 12, and lower frame 13, the area of ​​the double glazing 16 is increased, improving visibility and insulation. Furthermore, by recessing the indoor corner part on the outer periphery of the door end frame 2 to form the handle part 3, when the outer screen 9a is opened, the handle part 3 does not interfere with the joint frame 15 of the inner screen 9b, ensuring a wide effective opening width.

[0010] As shown in Figure 2, the upper frame 10 is constructed by connecting an exterior shape 23 and an interior shape 24, both made of aluminum alloy extrusions, with a resin insulating bridge material 25. The upper frame 10 has an outer screen guide groove 26a and an inner screen guide groove 26b, both of which have a roughly U-shaped cross section and open toward the inner circumference, with the upper part of the outer screen 9a guided by the outer screen guide groove 26a, and the upper part of the inner screen 9b guided by the inner screen guide groove 26b. The inner screen guide groove 26b is covered with a resin cover 27. Furthermore, a resin heat transfer suppression member 28 is provided within the inner screen guide groove 26b, which suppresses heat transfer between the inside and outside of the room.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 2, the lower frame 7 is made up of an exterior shape 23 and an interior shape 24 made of an aluminum alloy extrusion, connected by a resin insulating bridge material 25, and has resin covers 30a, 30b attached between the outer rail 29a that guides the lower part of the outer screen 9a and the inner rail 29b that guides the lower part of the inner screen 9b, and on the interior side of the inner rail 29b, which cover the inner periphery of the exterior shape 23 and the interior shape 24 with the covers 30a, 30b to improve insulation. Also, by attaching the resin covers 30a, 30b, the upper surface of the lower frame 7 is made almost flat.

[0012] As shown in Figure 3, the left vertical frame 1, located on the left side when viewed from inside the room, has a metal vertical frame 31 made of an extruded aluminum alloy profile, an angle 4 made of a plastic profile attached to the inner side of the metal vertical frame 31, and a frame concealing member 5 made of a plastic profile attached to the inner side of the angle 4. When viewed from inside the room, the door frame 2 of the outer shoji 9a is completely hidden by the frame concealing member 5.

[0013] As shown in Figure 3, the metal vertical frame 31 has a protrusion 33 that is inserted into a groove 32 that opens toward the outer periphery of the door end frame 2 of the outer screen 9a, and has locking portions 34a, 34b that protrude toward the inner periphery at approximately the center position in the indoor / outdoor direction and at the indoor end position to lock the angle 4.

[0014] The angle 4 is provided over the entire longitudinal length of the left vertical frame 1, and as shown in Figure 3, has a concealed wall 35 that is provided along the inner side of the metal vertical frame 31 and covers the inner side of the metal vertical frame 31, a visible wall 36 that extends toward the inner side from the indoor end of the visible wall 35, and an attachment piece 38 that extends toward the indoor side from the inner end of the visible wall 36 and is fixed to the frame 37 from the inner side with screws (not shown). The angle 4 has a protrusion 39 that protrudes toward the inner periphery at approximately the center of the front wall 35 in the indoor / outdoor direction, and a mounting groove 40 for the frame concealing member 5 is formed between the protrusion 39 and the front wall 36. The angle 4 is attached by engaging with the engaging portions 34a, 34b of the metal vertical frame 31, and is fastened together with the metal vertical frame 31 to the main body 42 with screws 41 from the inner periphery side.

[0015] As shown in Figure 3, the frame hiding member 5 is provided from a position adjacent to the exterior side of the visible wall 36 of the angle 4 to near the interior side of the door frame 2 so as to fill the space between the visible wall 36 of the angle 4 and the door frame 2 of the exterior door screen 9a, and hides the door frame 2 of the exterior door screen 9a with the frame hiding member 5. The frame hiding member 5 has hollow portions 43a, 43b stacked in the interior / exterior direction, and furthermore a hollow portion 43c is formed between the exterior hollow portion 43a and the visible wall 35 of the angle 4 on the outer periphery side. The frame hiding member 5 is attached by inserting a pair of claws 44, 44 protruding from the outer periphery of the hollow portion 43b on the indoor side into a mounting groove 40 formed in the angle 4 from the inner periphery and engaging with the protrusions 53, 53 in the mounting groove 40. By attaching the frame hiding member 5, the screws 41 that secure the angle 4 to the frame 42 are hidden by the frame hiding member 5.

[0016] In this way, this fitting covers the indoor side portion of the metal vertical frame 31 with a plastic angle 4 from the inner periphery, and a plastic frame concealing member 5 is attached to the angle 4 from the inner periphery. By filling the space between the visible wall 36 of the angle 4 and the end frame 2 of the outer shoji screen 9a with the frame concealing member 5, it is possible to suppress the transfer of heat between indoors and outdoors through the metal vertical frame 31, and also to suppress the transfer of heat between the left vertical frame 1 and the end frame 2 of the outer shoji screen 9a and through the end frame 2, thereby improving the insulation performance.

[0017] The angle 4 is provided over the entire length of the left vertical frame 1, while the frame concealing member 5, as shown in Figures 4 and 6, has its lower end 5a cut perpendicular to the longitudinal direction at a height of approximately 100 mm from the top surface of the bottom frame 7. This creates a finger insertion space 6 between the lower end 5a of the frame concealing member 5 and the top surface of the bottom frame 7, into which fingers can be inserted to place their hands on the handle portion 3 of the door end frame 2 when opening the outer screen 9a.

[0018] 4 to 7, a cover 45 is attached to the finger insertion space 6 from the inner periphery side, and the lower end 5a of the frame hiding member 5 is hidden by the cover 45. The cover 45 has a flange 46 that spans the inner periphery side of the lower end of the frame hiding member 5 and the inner periphery side of the mounting piece 38 of the angle 4, a bottom wall 47 that abuts against the upper surface of the lower frame 7, and a recess 48 formed in a shape that is recessed toward the outer periphery so that a finger can be inserted, and the recess 48 is composed of inclined walls 49a, 49b that are inclined toward the outer periphery side. In this way, the interior design can be improved by attaching cover 45 to finger insertion space 6. Also, by attaching cover 45 to finger insertion space 6, frame hiding member 5 can be prevented from falling down, and cold air from metal vertical frame 31 can be prevented from entering the room.

[0019] In this way, this fitting reduces the apparent size of the door end frame 2 and provides frame concealing member 5 on the interior side of the door end frame 2, improving visibility and insulation, while at the same time providing finger insertion space 6 by cutting out frame concealing member 5 at a specified height from the top surface of sill 7, making it easy to insert fingers into finger insertion space 6 and place hands on handle 3 of door end frame 2 to open outer screen 9a, making it easy to use. Furthermore, frame concealing member 5 is easy to process because it is only necessary to cut lower end 5a straight at a right angle to the longitudinal direction, and no notching is required.

[0020] The right vertical frame 11, located on the right side when viewed from inside the room, is composed of a metal vertical frame 31 and an angle 4 made of a plastic profile attached to the inner periphery of the metal vertical frame 31 on the indoor side, as shown in Figure 1. The door frame 2 of the inner shoji 9b is hidden by an angle 4 when viewed from the inside of the room. The inner shoji 9b can be opened by placing one's hand on the door frame 15.

[0021] 8 to 10 show a second embodiment of the fitting of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in the shape of cover 45 of finger insertion space 6 of left vertical frame 1. In cover 45, recess 48 for inserting fingers is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape by front walls 50a, 50b parallel to the indoor / outdoor direction and front wall 51 perpendicular to the indoor / outdoor direction. By forming cover 45 in this shape, finger insertion space 6 is not narrowed by cover 45, so outer screen 9a becomes easier to open. In order to attach this cover 45, as shown in FIG. 11, a notch 52 is provided in the lower part of the projection wall 35 of the angle 4, and the recess 48 of the cover 45 is made to fit into the notch 52.

[0022] 12 shows a third embodiment of the fitting of the present invention. The cross-sectional shape of the angle 4 is different from that of the first embodiment. As shown in Figure 12(a), the angle 4 has a projection 35 covering the inner side surface of the metal vertical frame 31, which is shorter than the projection 39 and does not extend beyond the exterior, so that it covers only the interior side of the metal vertical frame 31. By giving the angle 4 this cross-sectional shape, it is possible to reduce material costs. Also, the finger insertion space 6 can be made wider by the amount that is lost by removing the portion of the projection 39 of the projection 35 of the angle 4 that extends beyond the exterior. The cover 45 attached to the finger insertion space 6 is the same as that in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12(b). However, by cutting out the projecting wall 35 of the angle 4, it is also possible to attach a cover 45 having a rectangular recess 48 formed therein, the same as in the second embodiment.

[0023] As described above, this fitting (first to third embodiments) comprises a vertical frame (left vertical frame) 1 and a door end frame 2, the door end frame 2 having a handle 3, the vertical frame 1 having an angle 4 arranged along its entire length on the inside of the room, and a frame hiding member 5 which is attached to the angle 4 from the inner circumference and hides the door end frame 2 from the inside of the room, the frame hiding member 5 having its lower end 5a cut perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a finger insertion space 6 for inserting a finger into the handle 3 is provided between the lower end 5a of the frame hiding member 5 and the bottom frame 7 (see Figures 4 to 10, 12). Therefore, while the door end frame 2 is hidden by the frame hiding member 5, the shoji screen (outer shoji screen) 9a can be easily opened by inserting a finger into the finger insertion space 6 and placing a hand on the handle 3 of the door end frame 2, making it easy to use. The frame concealing member 5 is installed from the indoor wall (visible wall) 36 of the angle 4 to near the indoor side of the door end frame 2 (see Figures 3, 5, 9 and 12), thereby improving insulation. The angle 4 covers only the portion of the inner periphery of the vertical frame 1 facing the room (see FIG. 12(a)), thereby reducing material costs. This fitting (first to third embodiments) has a cover 45 that hides the lower end 5a of the frame hiding member 5, and the cover 45 is provided across the angle 4 (see Figures 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10), thereby improving the interior design.

[0024] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The materials and cross-sectional shapes of the vertical frame, the door end frame, the angle, and the frame hiding member can be changed as appropriate. The present invention is not limited to sliding windows, but can also be applied to single sliding windows, back door doors, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
