Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the case of the fittings disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the cushioning material is fitted into the notch, there is a risk that a finger touches a corner portion of the periphery of the notch and gives a sense of discomfort to the user.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a fitting and a method for manufacturing the fitting that can achieve both prevention of finger injury and prevention of giving a sense of discomfort to the user.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The fitting according to the present disclosure includes a fitting main body in the shape of a rectangular plate that is long in one direction, and a packing attached to the fitting main body. In the fitting, a notch is provided in the long side portion of the fitting main body, recesses are provided on each of the two surfaces of the fitting main body, the packing is a groove-shaped member, and two convex portions protruding toward each other are provided on both inner side surfaces of the packing. By fitting the convex portions into the recesses, the packing is attached to the fitting main body so as to cover at least the notch and the peripheral portion of the notch. The fitting according to the present disclosure includes a fitting main body in the shape of a rectangular plate that is long in one direction and a packing attached to the fitting main body. A notch is provided in the long side portion of the fitting main body, and recesses are provided on each of the two surfaces of the fitting main body. The packing is a groove-shaped member, and two convex portions protruding toward each other are provided on both inner side surfaces of the packing. By fitting the convex portions into the recesses, the packing is attached to the fitting main body so as to cover at least the notch and the peripheral portion of the notch. An opening is provided in the packing, and a storage hole for storing components is provided in a portion exposed through the opening of the fitting main body.

[0007] In the present disclosure, a notch is provided in the long side portion of the fitting main body. Further, recesses are provided on each of the two surfaces of the fitting main body. The packing is a groove-shaped member, and two convex portions are provided on both inner side surfaces of the packing. Each of the two convex portions protrudes toward each other from the inner side surface of the packing. By fitting the two convex portions of the packing into the recesses of the fitting main body respectively, the packing is attached to the fitting main body. At this time, the packing covers the notch and the peripheral portion of the notch.

[0008] For example, even if a finger is caught between the fitting and a fitting frame that supports the fitting, the packing deforms toward the inside of the notch to absorb the impact, so that injury to the finger can be prevented. Further, since the peripheral portion of the notch is also covered by the packing, there is no risk that a finger touches the corner portion of the peripheral edge of the notch and gives the user a sense of discomfort. As a result, it is possible to achieve both prevention of finger injury and prevention of giving the user a sense of discomfort.

[0009] The fitting according to the present disclosure is characterized in that at least portions of both ends in the thickness direction of the fitting main body at the end surface of the long side portion are chamfered and covered by the packing.

[0010] In the present disclosure, both ends of the building fitting body in the thickness direction at the end surface of the long side portion of the building fitting body are chamfered. Therefore, there is no risk that the corner portions at both ends of the end surface will contact the packing and damage the inner surface of the packing. Further, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that useless gaps are formed between the packing and both surfaces and the end surface of the building fitting body due to the corner portions at both ends of the end surface contacting the packing. The chamfering may be performed at least on the portion covered by the packing.

[0011] The building fitting according to the present disclosure is characterized in that both inner side surfaces and the inner bottom surface of the packing are adhered to both surfaces and the end surface of the long side portion, the convex portion is adhered to the inner surface of the concave portion, an opening is provided in the packing, and a housing hole for housing components is provided in a portion of the building fitting body exposed through the opening.

[0012] In the present disclosure, both inner side surfaces of the packing are adhered to both surfaces of the building fitting body, and the inner bottom surface of the packing is adhered to the end surface of the long side portion of the building fitting body. Further, the convex portion of the packing is adhered to the inner surface of the concave portion of the building fitting body. From the above, it is possible to surely prevent the packing from falling off the building fitting body. An opening is provided in the packing. A housing hole is provided in a portion of the building fitting body exposed through the opening of the packing. Components are housed in the housing hole of the building fitting body. Since the packing is adhered to the building fitting body, after the packing is adhered to the building fitting body, the opening of the packing and the housing hole of the building fitting body can be formed.

[0013] The building fitting according to the present disclosure is characterized in that one adhesive interposed between the packing and both surfaces and the end surface is superior in quick-drying property, heat resistance, or impact resistance compared to another adhesive interposed between the convex portion and the inner surface.

[0014] In the present disclosure, one adhesive is superior in quick-drying property, heat resistance, or impact resistance to another adhesive. It is not necessary for another adhesive to have the same quick-drying property, heat resistance, and impact resistance as one adhesive. Therefore, the degree of freedom in selecting another adhesive is high.

[0015] Due to the quick-drying property of the first adhesive, the packing is adhesively fixed to the fitting body in a short time. Therefore, after the packing is adhered to the fitting body, the opening of the packing and the receiving hole of the fitting body can be formed without drying for a long time. Due to the heat resistance of the first adhesive, there is no risk that the first adhesive will be deteriorated by heat and the packing will be peeled off from the fitting body after the packing is adhered to the fitting body. Due to the impact resistance of the first adhesive, there is no risk that the packing receiving an impact will be peeled off from the fitting body after the packing is adhered to the fitting body. Therefore, even if the opening of the packing and the receiving hole of the fitting body are formed after the packing is adhered to the fitting body, there is no risk that the packing will be peeled off from the fitting body.

[0016] The fitting according to the present disclosure is characterized in that the recess is a groove extending over the entire length of the fitting body, and the packing covers the entire length of the long side portion of the fitting body.

[0017] In the present disclosure, the packing covers the entire length of the long side portion of the fitting body. Therefore, compared with the case where the packing covers only a part of the long side portion of the fitting body in the length direction, the sense of unity between the fitting body and the packing is improved, so that the aesthetic appearance of the fitting can be improved.

[0018] A method for manufacturing a fitting according to the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing a fitting including a fitting body in a rectangular plate shape long in one direction and a packing which is a groove member and has two convex portions protruding toward each other on both inner side surfaces, the method including forming the fitting body having a notch provided in a long side portion and recesses provided on both surfaces from a rectangular plate long in one direction, and fitting the convex portions into the recesses so that the packing covers at least the notch and the peripheral portion of the notch, thereby attaching the packing to the fitting body. The manufacturing method of the fitting according to the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing a fitting including a fitting main body in the shape of a rectangular plate that is long in one direction and a packing that is a groove-shaped member and has two convex portions protruding toward each other on both inner side surfaces. The method includes forming the fitting main body having a notch provided in the long side portion and recesses provided on each of the two surfaces from a rectangular plate that is long in one direction, and attaching the packing to the fitting main body by fitting the convex portions into the recesses so that the packing covers at least the notch and the peripheral portion of the notch. After attaching the packing to the fitting main body, an opening is provided in the packing, and a storage hole for storing components is provided in a portion exposed through the opening of the fitting main body.

[0019] In the present disclosure, the fitting according to the present disclosure can be manufactured.

Effects of the Invention

[0020] According to the fitting and the manufacturing method of the fitting of the present disclosure, it is possible to achieve both prevention of finger injuries and prevention of discomfort to the user.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. In the following description, up and down, front and back, and left and right indicated by arrow marks in the drawings are used.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a front view of the fitting according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 1. In the figure, 1 is a fitting, and the fitting 1 includes a fitting body 2 and a packing 3. FIG. 3 is a front view of the fitting body 2 and the packing 3. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. 3.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the fitting body 2 has a rectangular plate shape that is long in one direction. The fitting body 2 is, for example, a flush panel, and includes a frame-shaped core material made of a wood material or a solid material, and a surface material that covers the core material. A notch 21 is provided in one long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2. The notch 21 has a rectangular shape and extends from the center to one end of the long side portion 2a. FIGS. 2 and 4 show the vicinity of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, recesses 22 are provided on both sides of the fitting body 2. The recess 22 is a groove extending in parallel with the long side portion 2a over the entire length of the fitting body 2. The recess 22 is provided in the vicinity of the notch 21 so as to be adjacent to the notch 21 in the width direction of the fitting body 2.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, at the end face of the long side portion 2a, both ends in the thickness direction of the fitting body 2 are chamfered. The chamfered portions extend over the entire length of the end face of the long side portion 2a. Therefore, there are no sharp corners at both ends of the end face of the long side portion 2a. In the figure, chamfering of the concave surface is performed, but it is not limited thereto, and chamfering such as a C surface or an R surface may be used. In the present embodiment, the periphery of the notch 21 is not chamfered (see FIG. 6 described later).

[0027] The packing 3 is a groove-shaped member, and side walls 3b project in the same direction from both ends in the width direction of the belt-shaped bottom wall 3a. The length of the bottom wall 3a is equal to the length of the fitting body 2. The side walls 3b extend over the entire length of the bottom wall 3a. The boundary portion between each side wall 3b and the bottom wall 3a is arc-shaped.

[0028] A convex portion 31 is provided at the tip of the inner surface of the side wall 3b. The convex portion 31 is strip-shaped over the entire length of the side wall 3b. The protruding amount of the convex portion 31 from the side wall 3b is about the same size as the depth of the recess 22 of the fitting body 2. The surface of the convex portion 31 is provided with irregularities, and the friction coefficient of the surface of the convex portion 31 is large. The maximum width of the convex portion 31 is slightly larger than the width of the recess 22 of the fitting body 2. The convex portions 31 of the two side walls 3b project toward each other.

[0029] It is desirable that the portion on the tip side of the side wall 3b rather than the convex portion 31 is curved inward. The packing 3 has appropriate flexibility and is made of, for example, an elastomer. However, it is desirable that the tip portions of the side walls 3b and the convex portions 31 are relatively hard.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, the two convex portions 31 of the packing 3 are fitted into the two concave portions 22 of the fitting body 2 such that the bottom wall 3a of the packing 3 covers the end face of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2 and the notch 21. At this time, the two side walls 3b of the packing 3 cover both sides of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2. As a result, the packing 3 covers the notch 21, the peripheral edge of the notch 21, and the concave portion 22. When the portion of the side wall 3b of the packing 3 on the tip side of the convex portion 31 is curved inward, the tip portion of the side wall 3b is likely to be in close contact with the surface of the fitting body 2. Therefore, there is no risk that the side wall 3b is turned up to damage the appearance.

[0031] The convex portion 31 is held inside the concave portion 22 by the frictional force between the surface of the convex portion 31 and the inner surface of the concave portion 22. In the present embodiment, the convex portion 31 is adhered to the inner surface of the concave portion 22 in order to reliably prevent the convex portion 31 from being removed from the concave portion 22. Further, the inner surface of the bottom wall 3a of the packing 3 is adhered to the end face of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2. The inner surfaces of the two side walls 3b of the packing 3 are adhered to both sides of the fitting body 2. By fitting and adhering the convex portion 31 into the concave portion 22 and adhering the packing 3 to the fitting body 2, the packing 3 is attached to the fitting body 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the packing 3 covers the entire length of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2.

[0032] The fitting 1 is used, for example, as a sliding door. In this case, the packing 3 is located on the door tip side and the notch 21 is located on the lower side, so that the length direction, width direction, and thickness direction of the fitting body 2 are oriented vertically, horizontally, and front-rear. In the figure, the left side / right side facing is the door tip side / d door butt side. Two suspension wheels 11 are provided at both left and right ends of the upper side of the fitting body 2. The two suspension wheels 11 travel along a guide rail (not shown) extending in the left-right direction. Thereby, the fitting 1 opens and closes an opening provided in the wall body (not shown in each figure).

[0033] FIG. 5 is a side view of the fitting 1. The side on the door tip side is shown in FIG. 5. On the end face on the door tip side (the end face of the long side portion 2a) of the fitting body 2, two accommodation holes 23 and 24 are provided. On the bottom wall 3a of the packing 3, two openings 32 and 33 are provided. The accommodation hole 23 of the fitting body 2 is exposed through the opening 32 of the packing 3, and the accommodation hole 24 of the fitting body 2 is exposed through the opening 33 of the packing 3.

[0034] The accommodation hole 23 opens from the end face on the door tip side of the fitting body 2 to the upper surface. The accommodation hole 23 is provided, for example, across the vertical frame and the horizontal frame constituting the core material of the fitting body 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the suspension case 111 connected to the lower part of the suspension carriage 11 is accommodated in the accommodation hole 23. The suspension case 111 is fixed to the fitting body 2, for example, by screwing. The illustration of the suspension carriage 11 and the suspension case 111 in FIG. 5 is omitted. Similarly, an accommodation hole 23 is also provided on the end face on the door butt side of the fitting body 2, and the suspension case 111 of the suspension carriage 11 is accommodated therein.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodation hole 24 is located at the central portion in the vertical direction on the door tip side of the fitting body 2. The accommodation hole 24 is provided, for example, in the vertical frame and the reinforcing member fixed to the vertical frame constituting the core material of the fitting body 2. The lock device 12 is accommodated in the accommodation hole 24. The lock device 12 is fixed to the fitting body 2, for example, by screwing. The illustration of the lock device 12 in FIG. 5 is omitted.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the lock device 12 includes a knob 121 for a child lock. An opening communicating with the accommodation hole 24 is provided on one surface of the fitting body 2, and the knob 121 is exposed through this opening. Although not shown, the knob 121 is also exposed on the other surface of the fitting body 2 in the same manner as on one surface of the fitting body 2. The lock device 12 includes a lock (not shown). When the user operates the knob 121, the lock of the lock device 12 projects leftward through the opening 33 of the packing 3.

[0037] On one side of the fitting body 2, a grip bar 13 is provided. The grip bar 13 is arranged at the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the fitting body 2 so as to be adjacent to the door end side of the packing 3. Although not shown, a grip bar 13 is also provided on the other side of the fitting body 2 in the same manner as one side of the fitting body 2. By gripping the grip bar 13, the user opens and closes the fitting 1.

[0038] FIG. 6 is a perspective view for explaining the manufacturing procedure of the fitting 1. The manufacturer prepares a rectangular plate 20 (see FIG. 3) that is long in one direction, provides a notch 21 in the long side portion 2a, and provides recesses 22 on both sides respectively, thereby forming the fitting body 2. Further, the manufacturer chamfers the end face of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2. Note that the chamfering may be performed before providing the notch 21. Also, the manufacturer prepares the packing 3. The packing 3 is formed, for example, by extrusion molding using two types of materials having different hardnesses after curing.

[0039] Furthermore, the manufacturer prepares two types of adhesives. It is desirable that one adhesive is superior in quick-drying property compared to the other adhesive, and is superior in heat resistance and impact resistance after curing. For example, one adhesive is a urethane resin-based adhesive (preferably a silylated urethane resin-based adhesive), and the other adhesive is a vinyl acetate resin-based adhesive (so-called woodworking bond). Note that the two types of adhesives are not limited to urethane resin-based adhesives and vinyl acetate resin-based adhesives.

[0040] The manufacturer applies the other adhesive entirely to the inner surface of the recess 22 of the fitting body 2. Next, the manufacturer applies one adhesive to the end face and both sides of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2. Specifically, the manufacturer applies one adhesive from the end face of the long side portion 2a to the edge on the door tip side of the opening of the recess 22. The range where the first adhesive is applied is the range where the bottom wall 3a and the two side walls 3b come into contact when the packing 3 is attached to the fitting body 2. However, the manufacturer does not need to apply the adhesive to the edge of the opening of the recess 22 on the door jamb side and between the notch 21 and the recess 22. In this case, the first adhesive is applied to the range illustrated by hatching in Fig. 6.

[0041] After applying the adhesive, the manufacturer fits the two convex portions 31 of the packing 3 into the two recesses 22 of the fitting body 2 so that the packing 3 covers the entire length of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2, and adheres the packing 3 to the fitting body 2. After the effect of the first adhesive, the manufacturer forms openings 32 and 33 in the packing 3 and forms accommodation holes 23 and 24 in the fitting body 2 (see Fig. 5). As described above, the fitting 1 is manufactured, for example, at a factory. Thereafter, the fitting 1 is transported to the construction site, and at the construction site, the hoist case 111 of the hoist 11 and the lock device 12 are respectively attached to the fitting 1 (see Fig. 1).

[0042] According to the fitting 1 as described above, even if a finger is pinched between the fitting 1 and the peripheral edge of the opening (not shown) where the fitting 1 opens and closes, the packing 3 deforms toward the inside of the notch 21, so that the packing 3 absorbs the impact, and thus injury to the finger can be prevented. In addition, since the peripheral edge of the notch 21 is also covered by the packing 3, there is no possibility that a finger touches the corner of the peripheral edge of the notch 21 and gives the user a sense of discomfort. As a result, it is possible to achieve both prevention of finger injury and prevention of giving the user a sense of discomfort.

[0043] The packing 3 may be configured to cover only the notch 21 and the peripheral edge of the notch 21. However, when the packing 3 covers the entire length of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2 as in the present embodiment, the unity between the fitting body 2 and the packing 3 is improved compared to the case where only a part of the length direction of the long side portion 2a is covered, so that the aesthetic appearance of the fitting 1 can be improved. In order to further improve the appearance of the fitting 1, it is desirable that the color and pattern of the packing 3 and the like and the color and pattern of the fitting body 2 and the like are common to each other. For example, it is desirable that the surface of the packing 3 is printed with a grain similar to the grain of the surface of the fitting body 2.

[0044] When the packing 3 covers only a part of the length direction of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2, it is desirable that the recess 22 is provided only in the portion covered by the packing 3. The recess 22 of the present embodiment is a single groove extending over the entire length of the fitting body 2, but is not limited thereto, and may be a plurality of grooves arranged side by side in the length direction of the fitting body 2 or a plurality of holes. However, it is easier to apply the adhesive evenly to the inner surface of the recess 22 when the recess 22 is a single groove extending over the entire length of the fitting body 2.

[0045] The convex portion 31 of the packing 3 may have a configuration that can be fitted into the recess 22 of the fitting body 2. In the present embodiment, since the recess 22 is a single groove extending over the entire length of the fitting body 2, the strip-shaped convex portion 31 extending over the entire length of the packing 3 has a large contact area with the inner surface of the recess 22. Therefore, the packing 3 is prevented from falling off.

[0046] Regarding the end surface of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2, chamfering at both ends in the thickness direction of the fitting body 2 may be omitted. However, by chamfering both ends of the end surface of the long side portion 2a, it is possible to prevent the corner portions at both ends of the end surface from contacting the packing 3 and damaging the inner surface of the packing 3. Further, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that an unnecessary gap is formed between the packing 3 and the fitting body 2 due to the corner portions at both ends of the end surface contacting the packing 3. When the packing 3 covers only a part of the length direction of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2, the chamfering may be performed at least on the portion covered by the packing 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bottom wall 3a of the packing 3 is adhered to the end face of the long side portion 2a of the fitting body 2, and the two side walls 3b of the packing 3 are adhered to both surfaces of the fitting body 2. Further, the convex portion 31 of the packing 3 is adhered to the inner surface of the concave portion 22 of the fitting body 2. From the above, it is possible to reliably prevent the packing 3 from falling off the fitting body 2.

[0048] Since the packing 3 is adhered to the fitting body 2, after the packing 3 is adhered to the fitting body 2, the openings 32, 33 of the packing 3 and the accommodation holes 23, 24 of the fitting body 2 can be formed. Due to the quick-drying property of one adhesive, the packing 3 is adhered and fixed to the fitting body 2 in a short time. Therefore, after the packing 3 is adhered to the fitting body 2, the openings 32, 33 of the packing 3 and the accommodation holes 23, 24 of the fitting body 2 can be formed without drying for a long time.

[0049] Due to the heat resistance of one adhesive, after the packing 3 is adhered to the fitting body 2, there is no risk that the one adhesive is deteriorated by heat and the packing 3 is peeled off from the fitting body 2. Due to the impact resistance of one adhesive, there is no risk that the packing 3 subjected to impact after being adhered to the fitting body 2 is peeled off from the fitting body 2. Therefore, even if the openings 32, 33 of the packing 3 and the accommodation holes 23, 24 of the fitting body 2 are formed after the packing 3 is adhered to the fitting body 2, there is no risk that the packing 3 is peeled off from the fitting body 2.

[0050] Another adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the concave portion 22, but it is not limited thereto, and one adhesive may also be applied to the inner surface of the concave portion 22. However, the other adhesive does not necessarily have the same quick-drying property, heat resistance, and impact resistance as the one adhesive. That is, the degree of freedom in selecting the other adhesive is high. Therefore, for example, an adhesive cheaper than the one adhesive can be used as the other adhesive. One adhesive is used for adhering the bottom wall 3a and the side walls 3b of the packing 3, but it is not limited thereto, and other adhesives may be used. In this case, the packing 3 with the openings 32, 33 formed in advance may be adhered to the fitting body 2 with the accommodation holes 23, 24 formed in advance.

[0051] Note that the fitting 1 is not limited to a configuration used as a suspended sliding door, and may also be a configuration used as a sliding door, a hinged door, a folding door, or the like that slides on a rail. The position of the notch 21 is not limited to the central part to the lower end part of the long side part 2a. For example, it may be from the central part to the upper end part of the long side part 2a, or may be the central part of the long side part on the door butt side. In the present embodiment, since the notch 21 covered by the packing 3 is at a position reachable by the hand of a young child, the fitting 1 is suitable for a house, a facility, etc. where there are young children.

[0052] A storage hole for accommodating parts may be provided on one surface of the fitting body 2, and an opening may be provided in the side wall 2b of the packing 3 so that this storage hole is exposed. For example, the knob 121 of the lock device 12 may be exposed through the opening provided in the side wall 2b of the packing 3.
