[0035] A third projecting plate 84 extends from the middle of the exterior wall 80 toward the outdoors. The second projecting plate 82, a part of the exterior wall 80, and the third projecting plate 84 function as an airtight material holding groove 85 formed in a U-shape in plan view. An airtight material 85a is held in the airtight material holding groove 85.
[0036] An inner smoke deflector 86 extends from the tip of the third projection plate 84 toward the pair of glass 30 in the left-right direction. The area surrounded by the outer wall 80, the third projection plate 84, and the inner smoke deflector 86 functions as a heated foam material holding groove 87.
[0037] A third heated foaming material 73 is attached along the longitudinal direction to the heated foaming material holding groove 87 of the inner frame 24B. The third heated foaming material 73 is fixed, for example, with double-sided tape, to the surface 84a of the third projection plate portion 84 facing the pair of glass 30. The third heated foaming material 73 uses, for example, a foaming material with the same foaming temperature as the first heated foaming material 71. The third heated foaming material 73 is attached along the entire longitudinal length of the inner frame 24B.
[0038] The sliding window 100 comprises a frame 1 installed in an opening in a building, and an outer shoji screen 2A and an inner shoji screen 2B placed within the frame 1. The outer shoji screen 2A and the inner shoji screen 2B each have double-pane glass 30 with heat-resistant tempered glass 31 arranged on the indoor side. A heat-foaming material 70 is installed along the length of the outer frame 24A of the outer shoji screen 2A, and the heat-foaming material 70 is layered over a predetermined area with a first heat-foaming material 71 with a high foaming temperature and a second heat-foaming material 72 with a low foaming temperature. In the event of a fire, the second heat-foaming material foams first, preventing gaps from forming for a predetermined period of time even if the sliding window 100 is thermally deformed.
[0039] By using the heat-resistant tempered glass 31 as the fire-resistant glass, it is possible to ensure fire prevention performance and also to improve the view compared to wired glass.
[0040] A crescent lock 38 is provided between the inner frame 24B of the inner shoji screen 2B and the outer frame 24A of the outer shoji screen 2A, and the heated foaming material 70 is arranged in layers of a first heated foaming material 71 and a second heated foaming material with different foaming temperatures from the bottom end 25 of the outer frame 24A to just above the crescent lock 38, with only the first heated foaming material 71 being arranged from just above the crescent lock 38 to the top end 26 of the outer frame 24A. By providing the second heated foaming material 72, which has a lower foaming temperature, only in the minimum necessary range, costs can be reduced while ensuring fire resistance.
[0041] An outer smoke deflector 48 and an inner smoke deflector 86 are formed between the outer frame 24A of the outer shoji screen 2A and the inner frame 24B of the inner shoji screen 2B, and the heated foam material 70 is attached in a position facing the outer smoke deflector 48 and the inner smoke deflector 86 in a plan view. In the event of a fire, the heated foam material 70 can reliably seal the gap formed between the outer smoke deflector 43 and the inner smoke deflector 86.
[0042] A third heating foam material 73 is also attached to the surface 84a of the inner frame 24B, which is perpendicular to the inner smoke deflector 86 in a plan view and on the side where the inner screen 2B opens. In the event of a fire, the third heating foam material 70 can more reliably seal the gap formed between the outer smoke deflector 43 and the inner smoke deflector 86.
[0043] A hollow portion 95 is formed at the indoor end of the inner frame 24B of the inner shoji screen 2B. By forming the hollow portion 95, the thermal insulation properties of the sliding window 100 are improved.
[0044] The fittings according to the present disclosure are not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and appropriate modifications and substitutions are possible within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure.
[0045] For example, in the above embodiment, the heat-resistant tempered glass 31 is used as the fire-resistant glass, but a glass other than the heat-resistant tempered glass 31 may be used as the fire-resistant glass. A glass other than the low-e glass 32 may be used as the other glass of the double glazing 30.
[0046] For example, in the above embodiment, the heated foam material 70 is attached in a position facing the outer smoke deflector 43, but it may be attached perpendicular to the outer smoke deflector 43 in a plan view and on the inner surface of the side where the outer screen 2A opens. The inner surface refers to the surface facing the heated foam material holding groove 49 on the indoor side of the inner wall portion 50 of the second connecting plate portion 62.
[0047] For example, in the above embodiment, the first heated foam material 71 was attached to the inner wall portion 50 side, and the second heated foam material 72 was provided on the indoor side of the first heated foam material 71, but the second heated foam material 72 may also be attached to the inner wall portion 50 side, and the first heated foam material 71 may be provided on the indoor side of the second heated foam material 72.
[0048] For example, in the above embodiment, first heated-foaming material 71 and second heated-foaming material 72 have different foaming temperatures, but heated-foaming materials having the same foaming temperature may be used.
[0049] For example, although the above embodiment has been described using the sliding window 100, the invention can be applied to other types of fixtures as well. In this case, the heated foaming material 70 can be attached to the vertical bars or lattices arranged in the center of the frame. [Explanation of symbols]
