[0036] The indoor box-shaped part 52 is arranged on the indoor side of the upper end cap 5. The indoor box-shaped part 52 is arranged on the indoor side X2 of the outdoor box-shaped part 51 and is formed to be lower in height than the outdoor box-shaped part 51. When the upper end cap 5 is attached to the upper end of the inner call frame 44, the indoor box-shaped part 52 is arranged above the upper part of the indoor hollow part 441d of the metal frame material 441.

[0037] The indoor box-shaped part 52 is open on the lower side, and the outdoor side X1 communicates with the outdoor box-shaped part 51. When the upper end cap 5 is attached to the upper end of the inner call frame 44, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower end part 55 of the upper end cap 5 is arranged inside the upper end part of the inner call frame 44 and is arranged to overlap horizontally within a predetermined width range in the height direction at the upper end part of the inner call frame 44.

[0038] Thereby, the upper end cap 5 is attached to the upper end part 442f of the resin frame material 442 of the inner call frame 44 so that the lower end part of the upper end cap 5 is visually recognized as a horizontal straight line in appearance. In this state, since the lower end part 55 of the upper end cap 5 is arranged in a state where it is visually recognized as a horizontal straight line, it has a neat design and the design property can be improved.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 6, at the lower end part of the inner call frame 44, when the resin frame material 442 is arranged outside the metal frame material 441, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower end cap 6 is attached.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the lower end cap 6 is formed in a box shape with its lower surface covered and having a step on the lower surface. The lower end cap 6 is open on the outdoor side X1 and the upper side, and a groove 61a is formed at the lower part for arranging the indoor side rail 222.

[0041] The lower end cap 6 has an outdoor side box-shaped portion 61 formed on the outdoor side X1 of the lower end cap 6 and an indoor side box-shaped portion 62 formed on the indoor side X2 of the lower end cap 6. The outdoor side box-shaped portion 61 and the indoor side box-shaped portion 62 are arranged side by side in the prospective direction (indoors and outdoors direction). The upper end portion 65 of the lower end cap 6 is formed horizontally in a straight line. A plurality of ribs 601 are formed inside the lower end cap 6.

[0042] The outdoor side box-shaped portion 61 is arranged on the outdoor side X1 of the lower end cap 6. When the lower end cap 6 is attached to the lower end portion of the inner calling frame 44, the outdoor side box-shaped portion 61 is arranged at the lower part of the outdoor side hollow portion 441a of the metal frame material 441.

[0043] The outdoor side box-shaped portion 61 has a groove 61a formed at the upper part and opening upward. The portion where the groove 61a is not formed is formed in a box shape with the lower part covered. The outdoor side box-shaped portion 61 is open on the outdoor side X1 and the lower side, and the lower part of the indoor side X2 communicates with the indoor side box-shaped portion 62.

[0044] The indoor side box-shaped portion 62 is arranged on the indoor side X2 of the lower end cap 6. The indoor side box-shaped portion 62 is arranged on the indoor side X2 of the outdoor side box-shaped portion 61 and is formed to be lower in height than the outdoor side box-shaped portion 61. When the lower end cap 6 is attached to the upper end portion of the inner calling frame 44, the indoor side box-shaped portion 62 is arranged at the lower part of the indoor side hollow portion 441d of the metal frame material 441.

[0045] The indoor box-shaped part 62 is open at the upper side, and the outdoor side X1 communicates with the outdoor box-shaped part 61. When the lower end cap 6 is attached to the lower end part of the inner call frame 44, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper end part 65 of the lower end cap 6 is disposed inside the inner side of the lower end part of the inner call frame 44 and is disposed overlapping horizontally within a range of a predetermined width in the height direction at the lower end part of the inner call frame 44.

[0046] Thereby, the lower end cap 6 is attached to the lower end part 442g of the resin frame material 442 of the inner call frame 44 so that the upper end part of the lower end cap 6 is visually recognized horizontally in a straight line in appearance. In this state, since the upper end part 65 of the lower end cap 6 is disposed in a state where it is visually recognized horizontally in a straight line, it has a neat design and the design property can be improved.

[0047] According to the present embodiment, the following effects are achieved. In the present embodiment, the upper end part 442f of the resin frame material 442 is formed horizontally in a straight line, the lower end part 55 of the upper end cap 5 is formed horizontally in a straight line, and the upper end cap 5 is attached to the upper end part 442f of the resin frame material 442 so that the lower end part 55 of the upper end cap 5 is visually recognized horizontally in a straight line in appearance.

[0048] Thereby, since the lower end part 55 of the upper end cap 5 is disposed in a state where it is visually recognized horizontally in a straight line, it has a neat design and the design property can be improved. Further, the upper end part 442f of the resin frame material 442 is formed horizontally in a straight line, and the lower end part 55 of the upper end cap 5 is formed horizontally in a straight line. Therefore, no additional processing for forming notches, steps, etc. is required for the upper end part 442f of the resin frame material 442 and the lower end part 55 of the upper end cap 5, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0049] In addition, in the present embodiment, the lower end portion 442g of the resin frame member 442 is formed in a straight horizontal line, the upper end portion 65 of the lower end cap 6 is formed in a straight horizontal line, and the lower end cap 6 is attached to the lower end portion 442g of the resin frame member 442 so that the upper end portion 65 of the lower end cap 6 is visually recognized in a straight horizontal line in appearance.

[0050] As a result, since the upper end portion 65 of the lower end cap 6 is arranged in a state where it is visually recognized in a straight horizontal line, it has a neat design and the design property can be improved. Further, the lower end portion 442g of the resin frame member 442 is formed in a straight horizontal line, and the upper end portion 65 of the lower end cap 6 is formed in a straight horizontal line. Therefore, additional processing for forming notches, steps, etc. is not required for the lower end portion 442g of the resin frame member 442 and the upper end portion 65 of the lower end cap 6, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0051] In addition, in the present embodiment, the metal frame member 441 is formed of a metal material, and the resin frame member 442 is formed of a resin material. Therefore, the inner sash frame 44 has a composite structure in which the resin frame member 442 is attached to the indoor side X2 of the metal frame member 441. Thereby, it is excellent in heat insulation and dew prevention properties.

[0052] In addition, in the present embodiment, the outer window 3 and the inner window 4 are configured to be slidable relative to each other, and the inner sash frame 44 is a sash vertical frame arranged at the mating portion between the outer window 3 and the inner window 4. Here, in the sliding window 1, since the mating portion between the outer window 3 and the inner window 4 is located at the center in the left-right direction, it is easily visible. Therefore, by improving the design properties of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the inner sash frame 44 at the mating portion between the outer window 3 and the inner window 4, the design property of the entire sliding window 1 can be improved.

[0053] In addition, in the present embodiment, the lower end cap 6 is attached to the lower end portion of the inner call frame 44. Here, since the user's line of sight is more likely to face downward at the lower end portion of the inner call frame 44, it is more easily visible than the upper end portion of the inner call frame 44. Therefore, it is highly useful to improve the design property of the lower end cap 6 attached to the lower end portion of the inner call frame 44.

[0054] As described above, a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure has been described. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be appropriately changed.
