Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 6 show an embodiment of the fitting of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this fitting is a continuous window comprising left and right window frames 9, 9 attached to a building opening 17 and a vertical post 7 connecting the adjacent vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9. The building body (outer wall) 13 is made of an ALC board. The left and right window frames 9 are fixed to the building body 13 with anchors 18 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and mortar 19 is filled in the gap between the building body 13 and the window frames 9 for attachment. On the outdoor side of the gap between the fitting and the building body 13, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, an outer peripheral side water stop material 14 made of a wet seal material is provided continuously around the four sides.

[0008] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the left and right window frames 9 are formed by framing an upper frame 12, a lower frame 20, and left and right vertical frames 1, 1 made of extruded aluminum alloy profiles in a vertical overlapping state. A glass panel 21 is attached to the left and right window frames 9 in a fitted state.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 2, the upper frame 12 and the lower frame 20 have an outer peripheral side projected wall 23 extending from the outer peripheral side edge of the outdoor side finding wall 22 toward the indoor side, and a projecting piece 24 projecting from the indoor side end of the outer peripheral side projected wall 23 toward the outer peripheral side. A backup material 25 is disposed in the gap between the projected surface of the building body 13 and the outer peripheral side projected wall 23 in contact with the projecting piece 24, and an outer peripheral side water stop material 14 is adhesively provided on the outdoor side to the projected surface of the building body 13 and the outer surface of the outer peripheral side projected wall 23. As shown in FIG. 3, the vertical frame 1 also has an outer peripheral side projected wall 27 extending from the outer peripheral side edge of the outdoor side finding wall 26 toward the indoor side, and a projecting piece 28 projecting from the indoor side end of the outer peripheral side projected wall 27 toward the outer peripheral side. A backup material 25 is disposed in the gap between the projected surface of the building body 13 and the outer peripheral side projected wall 27 in contact with the projecting piece 28, and an outer peripheral side water stop material 14 is adhesively provided on the outdoor side to the projected surface of the building body 13 and the outer surface of the outer peripheral side projected wall 27.

[0010] In order to connect the outer peripheral side water stop materials 14 on the outer peripheral sides of the upper frame 12 and the lower frame 20 and the outer peripheral side water stop materials 14 on the outer peripheral sides of the vertical frames 1, end closing materials 2 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the vertical frames 1. The end closing material 2 is formed by pressing a thin metal plate, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, it has a finding wall 29, an outer peripheral side projected wall 30, an inner peripheral side projected wall 31, a connecting wall 32 connecting the outer peripheral side projected wall 30 and the inner peripheral side projected wall 31 on the indoor side, and a pair of side walls 33, 33 protruding inward continuously from the edges on both the left and right sides of the inner peripheral side projected wall 31. As shown in FIG. 4, the finding wall 29 protrudes laterally from the outer peripheral side projected wall 27 and the inner peripheral side projected wall 34 of the vertical frame 1, is located on the outdoor side of the projecting piece 24 of the upper frame 12 and the lower frame 20, and receives the backup material 25. The portion other than the finding wall 29 of the end plugging material 2 is the portion 3 that is swallowed by the vertical frame 1, and the space between the outer peripheral side prospective wall 30 and the inner peripheral side prospective wall 31 is a sealant filling portion 6 capable of filling an amorphous sealant 5 for sealing the gap 35 with the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the vertical frame 1. As shown in Fig. 4, the outer peripheral side prospective wall 30 is arranged such that its outer surface is flush with the longitudinal end surface 1a of the vertical frame 1 and receives the outer peripheral side water stop material 14. Thereby, the outer peripheral side water stop materials 14 on the outer peripheral sides of the upper frame 12 and the lower frame 20 and the outer peripheral side water stop materials 14 on the outer peripheral side of the vertical frame 1 are made continuous. There is a slight gap 35 between the edge of the outer peripheral side prospective wall 30 and the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the vertical frame 1, and the gap 35 is filled with the amorphous sealant 5 held in the sealant filling portion 6 by pressing with a sealant pressing component 36. The inner peripheral side prospective wall 31 is provided parallel to and spaced apart from the inner peripheral side of the outer peripheral side prospective wall 30. Similarly, there is a slight gap 35 between the edge of the inner peripheral side prospective wall 31 and the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the vertical frame 1, and the gap 35 is filled with the amorphous sealant 5. The side walls 33, 33 are provided along the outer peripheral side prospective wall 27 and the inner peripheral side prospective wall 34 of the vertical frame 1, and a claw 37 is formed by raising a part thereof to engage with the outer peripheral side prospective wall 27 and the inner peripheral side prospective wall 34 of the vertical frame 1. As shown in Fig. 7(c), a square window-shaped opening 38 is formed in the connecting wall 32. By inserting a box-shaped sealant pressing component 36 from the indoor side into the opening 38, the amorphous sealant 5 held in the sealant filling portion 6 is pressed.

[0011] As the amorphous sealant 5, a general wet sealant used at a construction site may be used, but a clay-like material, for example, a putty material (commonly called air conditioner putty) used to fill the gap between a hole made in a wall during the installation work of an air conditioner and a pipe extending from the outdoor unit can be used.

[0012] Next, the attachment procedure of the end plugging member 2 will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 9(a), after holding the amorphous sealing material 5 in the sealing material filling portion 6, the end plugging member 2 is inserted into the vertical frame 1 from the small end side of the vertical frame 1 and attached. Next, as shown in Fig. 9(b), the sealing material pressing component 36 is pushed into the opening 38 formed in the connecting wall 32 from the indoor side to press the amorphous sealing material 5. Then, the amorphous sealing material 5 is expanded in a plurality of directions (vertical direction and horizontal direction). As shown in Fig. 9(c), the space surrounded by the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the vertical frame 1, the outer peripheral side expected wall 30, the inner peripheral side expected wall 31, and the connecting wall 32 of the end plugging member 2 is filled with the amorphous sealing material 5, and the amorphous sealing material 5 enters the gap 35 (see Fig. 4) between the edges of the outer peripheral side expected wall 30 and the inner peripheral side expected wall 31 and the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the vertical frame 1, and the gap 35 is sealed. Thereby, the intrusion of rainwater from the end of the vertical frame 1 can be reliably prevented. The operation of attaching this end plugging member 2 is performed at the factory before or after assembling the window frame 9.

[0013] Thus, when attaching the end plugging member 2 to the longitudinal end of the vertical frame 1 in the factory, the present fitting fills and attaches the amorphous sealing material 5 to the sealing material filling portion 6, and presses the amorphous sealing material 5 with the sealing material pressing component 36 from the indoor side, so that anyone can easily seal the gap between the portion 3 that is swallowed into the vertical frame 1 of the end plugging member 2 and the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the vertical frame 1, improving the workability of sealing and stabilizing the sealing quality. When sealing with a wet sealing material from the outside, since it is shipped after the sealing material is cured, a lot of places and time are required. However, in this embodiment, by pressing and expanding the amorphous sealing material 5 held in the sealing material filling portion 6 that is swallowed into the vertical frame 1 from the indoor side, the gap between the end plugging member 2 and the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the vertical frame 1 is sealed, so there is no need to wait for shipment until the sealing material 5 is cured, and the waiting time and place can be significantly reduced.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 3, the side post 7 has an outdoor-side finding wall 39, a hollow portion 40 provided on the indoor side of the outdoor-side finding wall 39, a prospective wall 41, and an indoor-side finding wall 42. At both edge portions of the outdoor-side finding wall 39, tight materials 43, 43 are provided along the longitudinal direction over the entire length toward the indoor side, and each of the tight materials 43, 43 is in pressure contact with the outdoor-side finding walls 26, 26 of the adjacent vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9. At both edge portions of the indoor-side finding wall 42, engaging portions 44, 44 with the vertical frames 1, 1 are provided over the entire length. On the indoor side of the indoor-side finding wall 42, a target plate 45 is screwed and attached. The engaging portions 44, 44 of the side post 7 and the target plate 45 sandwich the indoor-side edge portion of the vertical frame 1, 1 to connect the vertical frames 1, 1 to each other. The target plate 45 is hidden by fitting and attaching a target plate cover 46 from the indoor side.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 5 and 6, a side post end cover 8 is attached to the upper end portion of the side post 7. The side post end cover 8 is formed of a hard resin and has a prospective wall 10 that abuts against the longitudinal end face 7a of the side post 7, an outer peripheral-side finding wall 11 provided by rising upward from the indoor-side edge portion of the prospective wall 10, and an inner peripheral-side finding wall 15 provided by hanging downward from the outdoor-side edge portion of the prospective wall 10.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 8, the prospective wall 10 covers the connecting portion between the side post 7 and the vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and extends laterally beyond the joint portion 47 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) between the vertical frame 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and the upper frame 12. An outer peripheral-side water stop material 14 that closes the space between the outer wall 13 is continuously provided on the upper surface of the upper frame 12 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and the upper surface of the prospective wall 10 of the side post end cover 8. Thereby, it is possible to surely prevent rainwater from entering from the outer periphery between the side post 7 and the vertical frame 1 and between the vertical frame 1 and the upper frame 12. The portion 48 outside the outdoor side of the outer peripheral side water stop material 14 on the upper surface of the projected wall 10 is inclined so that the outdoor side is lower. As shown in FIG. 8, the lower surface of the projected wall 10 has a fitting portion 49 that fits into the hollow portion 40 of the upright 7, and a pressing piece 50 on the indoor side of the fitting portion 49. The upright end cover 8 fits the fitting portion 49 into the hollow portion 40 of the upright 7 from above. When a screw 51 (see FIG. 6) is screwed in from above between the fitting portion 49 and the pressing piece 50 through the hole 52 formed in the projected wall 10, the pressing piece 50 is pushed by the screw 51 and pressed against the indoor side wall of the hollow portion 40, and is fixed in a state of abutting against the longitudinal end surface 7a of the upright 7. In this way, this upright end cover 8 can be fixed and attached to the end of the upright 7 even if there is no tapping hole in the upright 7.

[0017] The outer peripheral side finding wall 11 connects the protruding pieces 24 of the upper frames 12 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and receives the backup material 25 of the outer peripheral side water stop material 14.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the inner peripheral side finding wall 15 is formed so as to face the outdoor side finding wall 39 of the upright 7 and the outdoor side finding walls 26, 26 of the vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 at a certain distance. And on the indoor side of the inner peripheral side finding wall 15, the inner peripheral side water stop material 16 is continuously provided on the outdoor side surfaces of the upper frames 12, 12 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and the outdoor side surface of the upright 7. Thereby, it is possible to surely prevent rainwater from entering from the outdoor side between the upright 7 and the vertical frames 1, 1 or between the vertical frame 1 and the upper frame 12. That is, this building fixture can prevent rainwater from entering from the outer peripheral side and from the outdoor side into the connecting portion of the left and right window frames 9, 9 by the upright 7. As described above, the upright end cover 8 is fixed to the upright 7 in a state where the projected wall 10 abuts against the longitudinal end surface 7a of the upright 7, and the longitudinal end surfaces 1a, 1a of the vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 are abutted against the projected wall 10. Thereby, manufacturing and construction errors can be absorbed. Even if a gap is generated between the longitudinal end surface 1a of the vertical frame 1 and the projected wall 10 due to the movement of the building or the window frame over time, the inner peripheral side water stop material 16 can prevent rainwater from entering.

[0019] Next, the construction procedure of this fitting will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 10(a), one window frame (containing the glass panel 21), 9, is attached to the opening 17 of the building body from the indoor side. Next, as shown in Fig. 10(b), the vertical post 7 is attached. Next, as shown in Fig. 10(c), the other window frame 9 is attached to the opening 17 of the building body from the indoor side. Next, as shown in Fig. 10(d), with the vertical post 7 as the center, the window frames 9, 9 are carried out to the outdoor side. As shown in Fig. 10(e), the vertical post end cover 8 is attached to the upper end of the vertical post 7 and fixed with screws 51 from above. Next, as shown in Fig. 10(f), the window frames 9, 9 are returned to their original positions, and the window frames 9, 9 are fixed to the building body 13 with the anchors 18 and the mortar 19 (see Figs. 2 and 3). After that, the outer peripheral side waterstop material 14 is continuously filled and sealed around the four sides from the outdoor side in the gap between the fitting and the building body 13. Also, the inner peripheral side waterstop material 16 is filled in the groove on the indoor side of the finding wall 15 on the inner peripheral side of the vertical post end cover 8.

[0020] As described above, this fitting includes a long member (vertical frame) 1 and an end closing member 2 attached to the longitudinal end of the long member 1. The end closing member 2 has a portion 3 that is recessed into the long member 1, and a sealant filling portion 6 is provided in that portion for filling an amorphous sealant 5 to seal the gap 35 between the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the long member 1. Therefore, when the end closing member 2 is attached to the longitudinal end of the long member 1 at the factory, by filling the amorphous sealant 5 into the sealant filling portion 6 and attaching it, the gap 35 between the portion 3 of the end closing member 2 that is recessed into the long member 1 and the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the long member 1 can be sealed. As a result, the workability of sealing is improved and the seal quality can be stabilized. This fitting can seal the gap 35 between the long member 1 and the end closing member 2 at the factory, and there is no need to wait for the sealant 5 to cure before shipping, so the waiting time and location can be significantly reduced. The end plug member 2 has an outer peripheral side prospective wall 30 that is substantially flush with the longitudinal end face 1a of the long member 1, and an inner peripheral side prospective wall 31 that is provided at a distance from the outer peripheral side prospective wall 30 toward the inner side in the longitudinal direction of the long member 1. Since the space between the outer peripheral side prospective wall 30 and the inner peripheral side prospective wall 31 is a sealant filling portion 6, the amorphous sealant 5 can be easily filled into the sealant filling portion 6. In addition, the end plug member 2 can be attached and sealed in a state substantially flush with the longitudinal end face 1a of the long member 1, so that rainwater, dust, etc. can be prevented from accumulating at the longitudinal end of the long member 1. This building fitting has a sealant pressing component 36. By inserting the sealant pressing component 36 into the sealant filling portion 6 and spreading the amorphous sealant 5, anyone can easily seal the gap 35 between the portion 3 that is swallowed by the long member 1 of the end plug member 2 and the inner walls 4a, 4b, 4c of the long member 1 surely. Since the sealant filling portion 6 has an opening 38 for inserting the sealant pressing component 36 that spreads the amorphous sealant 5, it can be sealed only by pressing the amorphous sealant 5 with the sealant pressing component 36 from the opening 38, and the sealability is further improved. Moreover, since the amorphous sealant 5 filled in the sealant filling portion 6 is spread in a plurality of directions, the seal quality can be further stabilized.

[0021] In addition, this building fitting includes a mullion 7 and a mullion end cover 8. The mullion 7 connects the vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9. The mullion end cover 8 has a prospective wall 10 that abuts on the longitudinal end face 7a of the mullion 7, and an outer peripheral side finding wall 11 provided on the outer peripheral side of the prospective wall 10. The prospective wall 10 extends laterally beyond the joint portion 47 between the vertical frames 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and the upper frame 12. Since the outer peripheral side water stop material 14 that closes the gap with the outer wall 13 is continuously provided on the upper surfaces of the upper frames 12, 12 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and the upper surface of the prospective wall 10, it is possible to surely prevent rainwater from entering from the outer peripheral side between the mullion 7 and the vertical frame 1 and between the vertical frame 1 and the upper frame 12, and the water stopping performance is improved. That is, this building fitting has a structure in which not only the end faces of the mullion 7 and the tight material 43 but also all the locations that may become water entry paths at the connecting portion of the window frames 9, 9 by the mullion 7 are covered by the mullion end cover 8, thereby exhibiting high water stopping performance.

[0022] In addition, this building fitting includes a vertical post 7 and a vertical post end cover 8. The vertical post 7 connects the vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9. The vertical post end cover 8 has a projected wall 10 that abuts against the longitudinal end face 7a of the vertical post 7 and an inner peripheral locating wall 15 provided on the inner peripheral side of the projected wall 10. The projected wall 10 extends laterally beyond the joint 47 between the vertical frame 1 and the upper frame 12 of the left and right window frames 9, 9. On the indoor side of the inner peripheral locating wall 15, an inner peripheral waterproofing material 16 is continuously provided on the outdoor side surfaces of the upper frames 12, 12 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 and the outdoor side surface of the vertical post 7, so that rainwater can be reliably prevented from entering from the outdoor side between the vertical post 7 and the vertical frame 1 and between the vertical frame 1 and the upper frame 12, and the waterproof performance is improved. Also, by providing the inner peripheral waterproofing material 16 in this way, it becomes less susceptible to the movement of the building or window frame 9 over time and the influence of deterioration of the sealing material 43 or seal, and excellent waterproof performance can be maintained for a long time.

[0023] In addition, in this building fitting, the projected wall 10 of the vertical post end cover 8 is fixed to the vertical post 7, and by abutting the longitudinal end faces 1a, 1a of the vertical frames 1, 1 of the left and right window frames 9, 9 against the projected wall 10, manufacturing and construction errors can be absorbed.

[0024] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. The building fittings of the present invention include all window types such as sliding windows, casement windows, etc., in addition to the fitted and killed windows as in the embodiments. Also, it is not limited to those with continuous windows via vertical posts, and a single window may also be used. The shape and material of the end closing material can be changed as appropriate. The amorphous sealing material may be a general wet sealing material or a clay-like material. The present invention can be used for waterproofing the ends of all long members of building fittings, not limited to vertical frames, but also including horizontal frames, vertical posts, mullions, etc.
