Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a gate having a door body supported by gateposts and provided with a handle and a vertical lattice. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a gate unit has been known that includes a gate post, a gate (door body) rotatably supported on the gate post, and a gate decorative member attached to the door body (see Patent Document 1). The door body is formed into a rectangular shape by vertical and horizontal stiles, and the vertical stile is provided with a handle for opening and closing the gate unit. The gate decorative member includes a horizontal member and multiple vertical members (vertical lattices) fixed to the horizontal member, and the horizontal member is attached to the door body. Here, among the multiple vertical lattices, the vertical lattices at the portion where the handle is located are divided into upper and lower vertical lattices relative to the handle. There are multiple upper vertical lattices, and the lower ends of these upper vertical lattices are fixed to short horizontal members separate from the horizontal members. There are also multiple lower vertical lattices, and short horizontal members are fixed to the upper ends of these upper vertical lattices. These short horizontal members are attached to the vertical stiles, thereby maintaining the strength of the upper and lower vertical lattices as vertical lattices.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-228279 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the gate unit described in Patent Document 1, the strength of the vertical lattices is maintained by attaching the lower ends of the vertical lattices above the handle and the short upper ends of the vertical lattices below the handle to the vertical stiles with short horizontal members, but the short horizontal members that intersect the longitudinal direction of the vertical lattices are conspicuous and may reduce the design. Here, if the above-mentioned horizontal members are not used, the design may be improved, but it would be difficult to maintain the strength of the vertical lattices above the handle and the vertical lattices below the handle.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a gate that can maintain the strength of the upper and lower vertical lattices relative to the handle while maintaining its design. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The gate of the present invention comprises a door body having an upper frame, a lower frame, a door-end vertical frame and a hanging-end vertical frame, and a gate post supporting the hanging-end vertical frame, and a handle for opening and closing the door body is provided on the visible surface of the door-end vertical frame, and the handle has a protruding portion that protrudes further toward the hanging end than the door-end vertical frame, and the door body has a plurality of vertical lattices attached to the visible surfaces of the upper and lower frames, and at least one of the plurality of vertical lattices that is positioned so as to overlap the protruding portion in the visible direction comprises an upper vertical lattice attached to the upper frame, a lower vertical lattice attached to the lower frame, and a connecting member that connects the upper vertical lattice and the lower vertical lattice. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a gate that can maintain the strength of the upper and lower vertical lattices relative to the handle while maintaining its design. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 5] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a connecting member according to the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] [Configuration of this embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3, the gate 1 according to this embodiment is a double-swing gate, comprising a gatepost 2 erected on the ground and a gate body 3 supported by the gatepost 2 so as to be able to open and close. Each gate body 3 comprises a frame body formed by assembling an aluminum upper frame 31, a lower frame 32, a door-end vertical frame 33, and a hanging-side vertical frame 34, and a plurality of aluminum vertical lattices 4 attached to the exterior-facing surfaces 311, 321 of the upper frame 31 and the lower frame 32. A handle 36 for opening and closing the gate body 3 is provided on the interior-exterior facing surfaces 331, 332 of the door-end vertical frame 33. In this embodiment, vertical lattices 5, 6 are also attached to the door-end vertical frame 33, the hanging-side vertical frame 34, and the gatepost 2. In the following description, the left-right direction of the gate 1 is the X-axis direction, the up-down direction of the gate 1 is the Y-axis direction, and the projection direction (out-of-plane direction) of the gate 1 is the Z-axis direction. The X, Y, and Z-axis directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] The upper frame 31 is formed as a hollow section having an outdoor sighting surface 312, an indoor sighting surface 313, an upper sighting surface 314 and a lower sighting surface 315, with the outdoor sighting surface 312 having the sighting surface 311 described above and the lower sighting surface 315 having a lower sighting surface 316 that covers the upper end of the connecting material 9 described later. The lower frame 32 is formed as a hollow section having an outdoor sighting surface 322, an indoor sighting surface 323, an upper sighting surface 324 and a lower sighting surface 325, and the outdoor sighting surface 322 has the aforementioned sighting surface 321, and the upper sighting surface 324 has an upper sighting surface 326 that covers the lower end of the connecting material 9. The door-end vertical frame 33 is formed in the shape of a hollow frame and has an outdoor sighting surface 333, an indoor sighting surface 334, an outer periphery sighting surface 335 and an inner periphery sighting surface 336, and the outdoor sighting surface 333 has the aforementioned sighting surface 331, and the indoor sighting surface 334 has the aforementioned sighting surface 332. The vertical frame 34 on the hanging side is formed in the shape of a hollow frame, having an outdoor visible surface 343, an indoor visible surface 344, an outer peripheral visible surface 345 and an inner peripheral visible surface 346, and is connected to the gate post 2 via hinges 12 so that it can be rotated open and closed to the outdoor side.

[0011] The handle 36 protrudes in the Y-axis direction from the sight surfaces 331, 332 of the door-end vertical stile 33 and is formed as an arm extending in an in-plane direction perpendicular to the Y-axis direction. The handle 36 is configured to be rotatable between a first position in which the door body 3 is closed and a second position in which the door body 3 can be opened and closed, with the arm-like portion being arranged along the X-axis direction in the first position and the arm-like portion being arranged along the Y-axis direction in the second position. Therefore, in the first position, the tip 361 of the handle 36 is arranged as a protruding portion that protrudes further toward the hanging point than the door-end vertical stile 33.

[0012] For ease of explanation, at least one of the multiple vertical lattices 4, which is positioned to overlap in the Z-axis direction with the tip 361 of the handle 36 in the first position, will be referred to as vertical lattice 4A in this embodiment. As shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 4(A), the multiple vertical lattices 4 (excluding the vertical lattice 4A) are configured as hollow members with a rectangular cross section having a front surface 41 on the outdoor side, a rear surface 42 on the indoor side, and a pair of left and right side surfaces 43, and cap members 10 are attached to the small edges of the upper and lower ends thereof.

[0013] As shown in Figures 4(B) and 5, the vertical lattice 4A comprises an upper vertical lattice 7 having a rear surface portion 72 (mounting surface portion) described later attached to the visible surface 311 of the upper frame 31, a lower vertical lattice 8 having a rear surface portion 82 (mounting surface portion) described later attached to the visible surface 321 of the lower frame 32, and a connecting member 9 along the Y-axis direction that connects the upper vertical lattice 7 and the lower vertical lattice 8. The upper vertical lattice 7 is configured as a hollow member with a rectangular cross section, having a front surface 71 on the outdoor side, a rear surface 72 on the indoor side, and a pair of left and right side surfaces 73, and cap members 10 are attached to the small edges of its upper and lower ends. The upper vertical lattice 7 is shorter in the Y-axis direction than the vertical lattice 4, and its lower end is positioned above the tip 361 of the handle 36, which is in the first position, in the Y-axis direction. The lower vertical lattice 8 is configured as a hollow member with a rectangular cross section, having a front surface 81 on the outdoor side, a rear surface 82 on the indoor side, and a pair of left and right side surfaces 83, and cap members 10 are attached to the small edges of its upper and lower ends. The lower vertical lattice 8 is shorter in the Y-axis direction than the vertical lattice 4, and its upper end is positioned below in the Y-axis direction the tip 361 of the handle 36 which is in the first position.

[0014] The connecting material 9 includes a connecting material main body 91 extending in the Y-axis direction, and a cover body 100 attached to the connecting material main body 91 and extending in the Z-axis direction. The connecting material body 91 is configured as a hollow member with a rectangular cross section, having a front surface 92 on the outdoor side, a rear surface 93 on the indoor side, and a pair of left and right side surfaces 94, and has an engaging piece 95 that extends indoors from the continuation of the rear surface 93 and the pair of side surfaces 94. The front surface 92 is attached to the rear surface 72 of the upper vertical lattice 7 and the rear surface 82 of the lower vertical lattice 8 with mounting screws 11. The rear surface 93 is formed with an insertion hole 931 that faces the front surface 92 in the Z-axis direction and through which the mounting screw 11 is inserted. In this embodiment, the vertical dimensions of the upper portion 91A of the connecting material body 91, which is overlapped in the Z-axis direction with the upper vertical lattice 7, and the vertical dimensions of the lower portion 91B of the connecting material body 91, which is overlapped in the Z-axis direction with the lower vertical lattice 8, are each larger than the vertical dimensions of the middle portion 91C of the connecting material body 91, which is located below the upper vertical lattice 7 and above the lower vertical lattice 8, and the upper end 911 and the lower end 912 of the upper portion 91A of the connecting material body 91 are screwed to the upper vertical lattice 7, and the upper end 913 and the lower end 914 of the lower portion 91B of the connecting material body 91 are screwed to the lower vertical lattice 8. The insertion holes 931 of the rear surface portion 93 described above are formed in the upper end 911 and the lower end 912 of the upper portion 91A and the upper end 913 and the lower end 914 of the lower portion 91B. The cover body 100 is formed in the shape of a long plate extending along the Y-axis direction, and on both side edges along the Y-axis direction, engaged pieces 101 that engage with the engaging pieces 95 are formed. The length dimension of the cover body 100 in the Y-axis direction is equal to the length dimension of the connecting material 9. When the cover body 100 is installed with the engaged pieces 101 engaged with the engaging pieces 95, the cover body 100 is positioned opposite the rear surface portion 93 in the Z-axis direction and is positioned to cover each insertion hole 931 from the indoor side. This connecting material 9 is disposed from the lower projection surface 316 of the upper frame 31 to the upper projection surface 326 of the lower frame 32. The length dimension of the connecting material 9 in the Y-axis direction is equal to the dimension in the Y-axis direction from the lower projection surface 316 of the upper frame 31 to the upper projection surface 326 of the lower frame 32. Therefore, when the vertical lattice 4A is attached to the upper frame 31 and the lower frame 32, the upper and lower ends of the connecting material 9 abut against the lower projection surface 316 and the upper projection surface 326. Therefore, even if the cap member 10 is not attached to the aforementioned fore edge, the risk of the fore edge being noticeable can be eliminated, and from an interior view, the connecting material 9 itself can appear as if it constitutes the entire vertical lattice 4A. In addition, the projected dimension of the connecting material in the Z-axis direction is smaller than the projected dimension of the lower projected surface 316 and the upper projected surface 326 in the Z-axis direction.As a result, the edges at the upper and lower ends of the connecting material 9 are blocked by the upper frame 31 and the lower frame 32, eliminating the need to attach cap members 10 to the edges, reducing the number of parts, and preventing rainwater and the like from entering the connecting material 9 and corroding the mounting screws 11. In the above-described vertical lattice 4A, the respective visibility dimensions in the X-axis direction of the upper vertical lattice 7, the lower vertical lattice 8, and the connecting members 9 are all equal to one another. Therefore, the external and internal appearance of the vertical lattice 4A can be made to look as if it were a single vertical lattice extending in the Y-axis direction.

[0015] [Variations] In the above embodiment, in the vertical lattice 4A, the upper vertical lattice 7, the lower vertical lattice 8 and the connecting members 9 have the same find dimensions, but they may have different find dimensions. In the above embodiment, the connecting material 9 is disposed from the lower projection surface 316 of the upper frame 31 to the upper projection surface 326 of the lower frame 32, but it may be short so that a space in the Y-axis direction is formed between the connecting material 9 and the lower projection surface 316 or between the connecting material 9 and the upper projection surface 326. In this case, a cap member 10 may be attached to the small end of the upper or lower end of the connecting material 9. In the above embodiment, the connecting material 9 includes the cover body 100, but this configuration may be omitted. In this case, the engaging piece portion 95 of the connecting material main body 91 may also be omitted, and the insertion hole 931 may be filled with a hole closing member (not shown). In the above embodiment, the upper end 911 and the lower end 912 of the upper portion 91A of the connecting material 9 are fixed to the upper vertical lattice 7, but as long as the fixing strength to the upper vertical lattice 7 can be sufficiently maintained, the connecting material 9 may be fixed to the upper vertical lattice 7 at a portion other than the upper end 911 or the lower end 912. Also, the upper end 913 and the lower end 914 of the lower portion 91B of the connecting material 9 are fixed to the lower vertical lattice 8, but as long as the fixing strength to the lower vertical lattice 8 can be sufficiently maintained, the connecting material 9 may be fixed to the lower vertical lattice 8 at a portion other than the upper end 913 or the lower end 914. In the above embodiment, a double-swing gate 1 has been described as the gate, but this is not limited to this and a single-swing gate may also be used, and if it is equipped with a handle with a protruding part that protrudes from the vertical frame 33 on the door end side toward the hanging point, it may also be a sliding gate in which the door body moves open and closed in the X-axis direction.

[0016] [Summary of the invention] The gate of the present invention comprises a door body having an upper frame, a lower frame, a door-end vertical frame and a hanging-end vertical frame, and a gate post supporting the hanging-end vertical frame, and a handle for opening and closing the door body is provided on the visible surface of the door-end vertical frame, and the handle has a protruding portion that protrudes further toward the hanging end than the door-end vertical frame, and the door body has a plurality of vertical lattices attached to the visible surfaces of the upper and lower frames, and at least one of the plurality of vertical lattices that is positioned so as to overlap the protruding portion in the visible direction comprises an upper vertical lattice attached to the upper frame, a lower vertical lattice attached to the lower frame, and a connecting member that connects the upper vertical lattice and the lower vertical lattice. According to the gate of the present invention, at least one of the multiple vertical lattices that is arranged to overlap the protruding portion of the handle in the forward direction connects the upper and lower vertical lattices with a connecting member, so that a single vertical lattice in which the upper and lower vertical lattices are connected can be formed at a position that overlaps the protruding portion of the handle in the forward direction, thereby improving the design. Furthermore, even if the vertical lattices are attached directly to the upper and lower frames as in the present invention, the strength of the vertical lattice that is arranged to overlap the protruding portion of the handle in the forward direction can be maintained while maintaining the design, because the upper and lower vertical lattices are connected with the connecting member.

[0017] In the gate of the present invention, the upper vertical lattice has an attachment surface portion that is attached to the visible surface of the upper frame, and the lower vertical lattice has an attachment surface portion that is attached to the visible surface of the lower frame, and the connecting material is formed to extend in the vertical direction and may be attached to the attachment surface portion of the upper vertical lattice and the attachment surface portion of the lower vertical lattice. With this configuration, the upper and lower vertical lattices are connected vertically by connecting materials that extend in the vertical direction, thereby maintaining the strength of the vertical lattices that are positioned so that they overlap the protruding part of the handle in the forward direction while still maintaining the design appeal of the vertical lattices.

[0018] In the gate of the present invention, the upper vertical lattice, the lower vertical lattice, and the connecting members may have the same dimensions. With this configuration, by making the apparent dimensions of the upper vertical lattice, the lower vertical lattice, and the connecting material equal to each other, when the vertical lattice comprising the upper vertical lattice, the lower vertical lattice, and the connecting material is viewed from the front direction, it can be made to look as if a single component is a vertical lattice extending continuously from top to bottom, thereby further improving the design.

[0019] In the gate of the present invention, the upper frame has a lower visible surface, the lower frame has an upper visible surface, and the connecting material may be arranged from the lower visible surface of the upper frame to the upper visible surface of the lower frame. With this configuration, the small edges at the upper and lower ends of the connecting material are arranged to be blocked by the lower projection surface of the upper frame and the upper projection surface of the lower frame, eliminating the need to separately provide cap members or the like to block the small edges of the connecting material. Also, when the vertical lattice is viewed from one side in the projection direction of the gate, the design is such that the upper vertical lattice, connecting material, and lower vertical lattice are arranged side by side, while when the vertical lattice is viewed from the other side in the projection direction of the gate, the connecting material itself can be seen as a vertical lattice between the upper and lower frames, further improving the design.

[0020] In the gate of the present invention, the connecting material may comprise a connecting material main body attached to the upper vertical lattice and the lower vertical lattice, and a cover body extending in the vertical direction to cover the connecting material main body from the indoor side. With this configuration, the mounting screws that attach the connecting material body to the upper vertical lattice and the lower vertical lattice, and the parts with holes formed in the connecting material body, can be prevented from being exposed to the indoor side, thereby further improving the design.

[0021] In the gate of the present invention, the upper and lower ends of the upper part of the connecting material that is overlapped in the prospective direction relative to the upper vertical lattice may be fixed to the upper vertical lattice, and the upper and lower ends of the lower part of the connecting material that is overlapped in the prospective direction relative to the lower vertical lattice may be fixed to the lower vertical lattice. With this configuration, the upper and lower ends of the upper part of the connecting material are fixed to the upper vertical lattice, and the upper and lower ends of the lower part of the connecting material are fixed to the lower vertical lattice.This improves the fixing strength compared to, for example, fixing only the middle part located between the upper and lower ends of the upper part of the connecting material to the upper vertical lattice, and fixing only the middle part located between the upper and lower ends of the lower part of the connecting material to the lower vertical lattice, and makes it possible to configure a vertical lattice that maintains its strength even when it is a slim vertical lattice.
