[0008] Regarding a fitting according to an embodiment, an example of a three-panel sliding door provided in an opening of a bathroom will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, one side of the fitting in the prospective direction will be referred to as the "bathroom side", and the other side will be referred to as the "changing room side" for explanation.
[0009] As shown in FIG. 1, a fitting according to an embodiment is a three-panel sliding door in which three shoji doors 2, 3, and 4 are slidably arranged by assembling upper frames 21, 31, 41, lower frames 22, 32, 42, and left and right vertical frames 23, 24, 33, 34, 43, 44 on the inner periphery of a frame body 1 formed by assembling an upper frame 11, a lower frame 12, and left and right vertical frames 13, 14 around the four sides to hold a panel body on the inner periphery.
[0010] The upper frame 11 that constitutes the frame body 1 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy. As shown in FIG. 2, it has a hollow part and includes an upper frame main body part 11a that forms the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame 11, a forehead part 11b that is continuous with the dressing room side of the upper frame main body part 11a, a first upper rail 11c, a second upper rail 11d, and a third upper rail 11e formed on the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame main body part 11a from the dressing room side, a finding wall 11f that extends downward from the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame main body part 11a on the bathroom side, and a mounting piece 11g that extends in the outer peripheral direction from the outer periphery of the upper frame main body part 11a.
[0011] Windstop members 71 and 72 are respectively provided between the first upper rail 11c and the second upper rail 11d, and between the second upper rail 11d and the third upper rail 11e of the upper frame 11.
[0012] The lower frame 12 that constitutes the frame body 1 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy. As shown in FIGS. 2, 4(b), and 5(b), it has a hollow part and includes a lower frame main body part 12a that is located between the left and right vertical frames 13 and 14 when framed on all four sides, a forehead part 12b that is continuous with the dressing room side of the lower frame main body part 12a, a slope receiving part 12c that extends to the bathroom side from the lower frame main body part 12a and protrudes from between the left and right vertical frames 13 and 14 to the bathroom side, and a mounting piece 12g that extends in the outer peripheral direction from the outer periphery of the lower frame main body part 12a.
[0013] The upper surface of the lower frame main body part 12a of the lower frame 12 is formed to be substantially flat, and as shown in FIG. 4(b), a locked member 123 to which a slope member 5 described later is locked is attached to the upper surface on the dressing room side. Note that the lower frame 12 may have an inclined part on the upper surface of the lower frame main body part 12a such that the bathroom side is lower in consideration of drainage and the like.
[0014] The slope receiving part 12c of the lower frame 12 has an upper wall that extends from the bathroom side of the lower frame main body part 12a and a finding wall 12d that extends downward from the bathroom side end of the upper wall. The upper surface of the upper wall is formed as a flat surface at a height position that is substantially the same as or slightly lower than the upper surface of the lower frame main body part 12a. As shown in Fig. 5(b), the slope receiving portion 12c has small lid 122 attached to the left and right small opening surfaces. On the bathroom side and the outer peripheral surfaces on the left and right sides of the slope receiving portion 12c, a finding surface having a thickness in the vertical direction is formed by the finding wall 12d and the small lid 122.
[0015] As shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 6, in the fitting of this embodiment, the slope member 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the lower frame 12. The slope member 5 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy. As shown in Figs. 4(a) and 5(a), it has a rail portion 51 placed on the upper surface of the lower frame main body portion 12a of the lower frame 12, and a slope portion 52 that is continuous with the bathroom side of the rail portion 51 and is placed on the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c of the lower frame 12 and has an inclined surface inclined in the entry / exit direction from the lower frame. A slope support part 53 is attached to the lower surface of the slope portion 52. Note that the slope member 5 may be formed of a material such as synthetic resin.
[0016] The rail portion 51 of the slope member 5 has a lower first rail 51a, a lower second rail 51b, and a lower third rail 51c on the upper surface, and a plurality of leg portions 51d and an engaging portion 51e that engages with the engaged member 123 of the lower frame 12 on the lower surface. The plurality of leg portions 51d are placed on the upper surface of the lower frame main body portion 12a of the lower frame 12, and the slope support part 53 is placed and attached to the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c.
[0017] As shown in Figs. 3 and 5(a), the slope members of the fitting of this embodiment are formed by connecting two slope members 5, 5 arranged side by side on the left and right with a central connecting portion 5a, and end caps 5b, 5b are attached to the left and right ends. Note that the slope member may be an integrally formed long member according to the length dimension of the lower frame 12, or may be formed by connecting three or more slope members 5.
[0018] The three shoji 2, 3, and 4 are respectively guided by the lower first rail 51a, the lower second rail 51b, and the lower third rail 51c of the slope member 5, and the frame body 1 is supported so as to be openable and closable.
[0019] The slope support component 53 is made of a resin material such as synthetic resin. As shown in FIGS. 4(a), 6(a), and (b), it has a fixing portion 53a fixed to the lower surface of the slope portion 52 of the slope member 5, an inclined portion 53b protruding from the bathroom-side end of the slope member 5, and an elastic deformation portion 53c connecting the fixing portion 53a and the inclined portion 53b.
[0020] The fixing portion 53a of the slope support component 53 has engaging portions 53d and 53e on the upper surface of a substrate portion 53g having a thickness such that it does not easily deform, and has a buffer portion 53f on the lower surface. The slope support component 53 is fixed to the lower surface of the slope member 5 by engaging the engaging portions 53d and 53e with the engaged portions 52a and 52a formed on the lower surface of the slope member 5, and supports the slope member 5 on the lower frame 12 with a buffering action.
[0021] The inclined portion 53b of the slope support component 53 protrudes from the tip on the bathroom side of the slope member 5 and has a wedge shape in which the height decreases as it goes from the tip of the slope member 5 toward the bathroom side.
[0022] The inclined portion 53b of the slope support component 53 is formed such that the height dimension on the dressing room side is substantially the same as the height dimension of the bathroom-side end of the slope member 5, and the upper surface of the inclined portion 53b of the slope support component 53 fixed to the lower surface of the slope member 5 is continuous flush with the upper surface of the slope portion 52.
[0023] The elastic deformation portion 53c of the slope support component 53 has elasticity by having a thickness dimension smaller than the thickness dimension of the base portion 53g of the fixing portion 53a, connects the bathroom-side end of the base portion 53g of the fixing portion 53a and the inclined portion 53b, and supports the inclined portion 53b so that its vertical position can be displaced relative to the fixing portion 53a.
[0024] The left vertical frame 13 that constitutes the frame body 1 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5(b), it has a hollow part and includes a left vertical frame body 13a that forms the inner peripheral surface of the fitting opening, a forehead part 13b that is continuous with the left vertical frame body 13a on the dressing room side, a door tip receiving part 13c that is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the left vertical frame body 13a on the bathroom side, and a mounting piece 13g that is provided on the outer peripheral side of the left vertical frame body 13a. The left vertical frame 13 is provided with an engaging part 13e for engaging the left vertical frame (door tip side vertical frame) 43 of the outer shutter 4 with the door tip receiving part 13c and an airtight material s13 that abuts against the left vertical frame 43.
[0025] The right vertical frame 14 that constitutes the frame body 1, similar to the left vertical frame 13, has a hollow part and includes a right vertical frame body 14a that forms the inner peripheral surface of the fitting opening, a forehead part 14b that is continuous with the right vertical frame body 14a on the dressing room side, a door tip receiving part 14c that is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the right vertical frame body 14a on the dressing room side, and a mounting piece 14g that is provided on the outer peripheral side of the right vertical frame body 14a. The right vertical frame 14 is provided with an engaging part 14e for engaging the right vertical frame (door tip side vertical frame) 24 of the inner shutter 2 with the door tip receiving part 14c and airtight materials s141 and s142 that abut against the right vertical frame 24.
[0026] The frame body 1 of the fitting in this embodiment is arranged at the opening between the bathroom and the dressing room. As described above, a slope receiving part 12c is extended on the bathroom side of the lower frame 12, and the slope member 5 is placed on the upper surface of the slope receiving part 12c. Therefore, the slope member 5 can be stably arranged. Hereinafter, the lower frame 12 having the slope receiving part 12c will be further described in terms of construction method and the like.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 7(a), for the building body to which the lower frame 12 is attached, a base B such as wood is placed on the upper surface of a partially rising part A of the foundation, a forehead member C is fixed to the upper surface of the base B, and a floor surface (foundation) D is formed between the rising parts A of the foundation by moisture-proof concrete or the like.
[0028] The lower frame 12 of the fixture disposed between the bathroom and the dressing room has the part on the dressing room side of the attachment piece 12g of the lower frame main body 12a placed on the upper surface of the base B, the forehead part 12b is fixed to the upper surface of the forehead member D, and the attachment piece 12g is fixed to the bathroom side surface of the base B. The lower frame 12 fixed to the base B has small lid 122 attached to the left and right end faces of the slope receiving part 12c.
[0029] As shown in Fig. 7(b), the lower frame 12 fixed to the base B has an anchor member E attached to the lower surface of the slope receiving part 12c, and mortar M is filled so as to bury the anchor member E attached to the lower frame 12 on the floor surface (foundation) D on the bathroom side of the partially rising part A of the foundation.
[0030] The mortar M on the floor surface (foundation) D is filled up to a position above the lower end of the slope receiving part 12c of the lower frame 12, and the finding wall 12d and the small lid 122 are exposed on the bathroom side and the outer peripheries on the left and right sides of the slope receiving part 12c, forming a finding surface having a thickness in the vertical direction.
[0031] Around the lower frame 12 on the upper surface of the filled mortar M, as shown in Fig. 8(a), a finishing material 6 such as tiles is arranged for finishing. The height dimensions of the exposed parts of the finding surfaces formed on the bathroom side and the left and right sides of the slope receiving part 12c have dimensions similar to the construction height dimensions of the finishing material 6 such as tiles, and the upper surface of the finishing material 6 and the upper surface of the slope receiving part 12c are at the same height.
[0032] After the finishing material 6 such as tiles is constructed, as shown in Fig. 8(b) and Fig. 9, a sealing material S is filled between the exposed finding surface of the slope receiving part 12c and the finishing material 6. The sealing material S is filled on the bathroom side and the outer peripheries on the left and right sides of the slope receiving part 12c, and the upper surface of the slope receiving part 12c and the upper surface of the surrounding finishing material 6 are flush and continuous with each other by the sealing material.
[0033] On the upper surface of the lower frame 12 fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the opening, a locked member 123 (see Fig. 4(b)) is attached, and a slope member 5 having a lower rail is attached to the upper surface of the lower frame 12 to complete the construction of the lower frame 12. The construction procedure of the lower frame 12 has been described above.
[0034] As described above, the fitting of the present embodiment fixes the slope receiving portion 12c of the lower frame 12 to the mortar M filled on the floor surface (foundation) D, and supports the slope member 5 on the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c, so that the slope member 5 can be stably attached.
[0035] And, in the fitting of the present embodiment, a slope support part 53 is fixed to the lower surface of the tip on the bathroom side of the slope member 5, and an inclined part 53b is provided on the bathroom side of the slope support part 53, so that the passage of a wheelchair or the like with respect to the slope part 5 can be made smoother.
[0036] Furthermore, in the fitting of the present embodiment, the inclined part 53b of the slope support part 53 is connected to the fixing part 53a that fixes the slope support part 53 to the slope member 5 by an elastic deformation part 53c. Therefore, the height position of the inclined part 53b can be adjusted by the deformation of the elastic deformation part 53c. For example, when there is a seal part on the bathroom side of the slope member 5 and the bathroom side of the slope member 5 is lower, the finish material 6 or the seal part S and the upper surface of the slope member 5 can be smoothly connected.
[0037] Also, in the lower frame 12 of the fitting of the present embodiment, small end covers 122 are attached to the small ends at both the left and right ends of the slope receiving portion 12c, and a finding surface having a thickness equal to or greater than the construction dimension of the finish material 6 in the vertical direction is formed on the outer periphery of the slope receiving portion 12c. Therefore, the finish surface of the finish material 6 and the upper surface of the slope receiving portion 12c can be constructed at the same height.
[0038] In addition, the fitting of the present embodiment can form a seal pocket having a sufficient depth between the finishing material 6 and the slope receiving portion 12c, and can be filled with a seal material sufficiently to impart high watertight performance.
[0039] In the fitting of the present embodiment, the slope receiving portion 12c forms a finding surface having a thickness in the vertical direction by the expected wall 12d and the end lid 122. However, for example, a bottom wall is horizontally extended from a position below the finding wall on the bathroom side of the lower frame body portion 12a of the lower frame 12, and a block-shaped member is placed thereon to form a finding surface having a thickness in the vertical direction. The configuration for forming the finding surface is not limited.
[0040] Further, by providing a lower rail on the lower frame body portion 12a of the lower frame 12, etc., it is not necessary to provide the rail portion 51 on the slope member 5, and the slope member 5 may be formed only by the slope portion 52.
[0041] In addition, the fitting of the present embodiment is not limited to any door type such as a sliding door. The above embodiments do not limit the invention described in the claims, and it goes without saying that they are treated as examples.
