[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6535948 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the sunshade hanger described in Patent Document 1, the mounting bracket and the hook portion are integrally formed from a metal plate. For this reason, it is difficult to manufacture a sunshade hanger in which only the hook portion has a different shape. This disclosure discloses an example of a sunshade hanger that can accommodate hook portions of various shapes according to specifications. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A sunshade hanger for hanging a sunshade (2) on a window frame (3) preferably has at least one of the following constituent features: That is, the constituent features are that the hanger has a metal base metal fitting (10) fixed to the window frame (3), screws (30) for fixing the base metal fitting (10) to the window frame (3), a hook part (20) for hanging the sunshade (2), and a mounting part (21) that is an integral part of the hook part (20) and is made of resin and is detachably mounted on the base metal fitting (10).

[0006] This allows the attachment portion 21 and the hook portion 20 of the awning hanger to be easily changed relative to the base metal fitting 10. Consequently, a person who manufactures the awning hanger (hereinafter referred to as the manufacturer) can easily accommodate various specifications by changing the attachment portion 21 and the hook portion 20.

[0007] The base metal fitting (10) is provided with a band-shaped clamping plate (11), a holding plate (12) facing the clamping plate (11) across a space in the normal direction of the clamping plate (11), the plate-shaped holding plate (12) having an attachment portion (21) attached thereto, a cylindrical burring portion (13) provided on the holding plate (12), the burring portion (13) protruding in the normal direction from the surface of the holding plate (12) opposite the clamping plate (11) and having a female thread formed on its inner surface that engages with the screw (30), and a connecting portion (14) extending in the normal direction to connect the holding plate (12) and the clamping plate (11).

[0008] The base metal fitting (10) is fixed to the window frame (3) by clamping the window frame (3) with the clamping plate (11) and the tip side of the screw (30), and furthermore, the mounting portion (21) is provided with a retaining portion (22) located between the screw (30) and the connecting portion (14).

[0009] This prevents the attachment portion 21 and the hook portion 20 from coming off the base metal fitting 10 using the screw 30 for fixing the base metal fitting 10 to the window frame 3. This in turn enables manufacturers to provide sunshade hangers that can accommodate hook portions 20 of various shapes according to specifications while reducing the manufacturing cost of the sunshade hanger.

[0012] The following "embodiments of the invention" are examples of embodiments that fall within the technical scope of the present disclosure. In other words, the invention-specific matters described in the claims are not limited to the specific configurations and structures shown in the following embodiments.

[0013] Note that arrows and diagonal lines indicating directions in each figure are provided to facilitate understanding of the relationship between the figures and the shapes of each component or part. Therefore, the invention disclosed in this disclosure is not limited to the directions indicated in each figure. Diagonal lines do not necessarily indicate cross-sectional views.

[0014] At least one of a component or part that is described with a reference numeral is provided unless otherwise specified, such as "one." In other words, unless otherwise specified, two or more components may be provided. The sunshade hanger shown in this disclosure includes at least the components or parts that are described with a reference numeral, as well as the structural parts shown in the drawings.

[0015] (First embodiment) <1. Overview of sunshade hanging devices> In this embodiment, an example of a sunshade hanger 1 according to the present disclosure is applied to a "sudare" blind, as shown in Fig. 1. In other words, the sunshade hanger 1 is a hanger for hanging a sunshade 2 such as a sudare blind from a window frame 3.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the sunshade hanger 1 according to this embodiment comprises a base metal fitting 10, a hook portion 20, an attachment portion 21, at least one screw 30 (in this embodiment, a plurality of screws), and the like.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 1, the base metal fitting 10 is a metal member fixed to a window frame 3 such as an aluminum sash. The hook portion 20 is a portion for hanging the sunshade 2. The hook portion 20 is configured, for example, in a J-shape, an L-shape, or an S-shape.

[0018] The mounting portion 21 is a portion made of resin (for example, polyacetal) that is detachably attached to the base metallic part 10. The mounting portion 21 is integrated with the hook portion 20. Note that the hook portion 20 according to this embodiment is integrally molded with the mounting portion 21 and is integrated with the mounting portion 21.

[0019] Each screw 30 is a fastener for fixing the base metal fitting 10 to the window frame 3. In this embodiment, one screw 30 is provided on each side of the mounting portion 21. Note that each screw 30 in this embodiment is made of a resin with excellent mechanical properties, such as polyacetal.

[0020] <2. Details of the base metal fittings and mounting parts> 3, the base metal fitting 10 is configured to include a clamping plate 11, a holding plate 12, and a connecting portion 14. The clamping plate 11, the holding plate 12, and the connecting portion 14 are each a strip-shaped portion.

[0021] The holding plate 12 is a plate-shaped part that faces the clamping plate 11 across a space in the normal direction Lo and is parallel to the clamping plate 11. An attachment part 21 is attached to the holding plate 12 (see FIG. 1). The normal direction Lo refers to the direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the clamping plate 11.

[0022] The connecting portion 14 connects the holding plate 12 and the clamping plate 11. The connecting portion 14 according to this embodiment has a plate surface that is substantially parallel to the normal direction Lo, and connects the lower end of the clamping plate 11 and the lower end of the holding plate 12. The connecting portion 14 is provided with a reinforcing portion 14A (see FIG. 4) formed in a ridge shape.

[0023] In the base metal fitting 10 according to this embodiment, a single metal plate is bent by plastic processing such as press working to form the clamping plate 11, the holding plate 12, and the connecting portion 14. Therefore, the cross section of the base metal fitting 10 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction has a substantially U-shaped or C-shaped cross section.

[0024] The holding plate 12 is provided with a burring portion 13. The burring portion 13 is a cylindrical portion that protrudes in the normal direction Lo from the surface of the holding plate 12 opposite the clamping plate 11, i.e., from the surface of the holding plate 12 on the hook portion 20 side.

[0025] A female thread that engages with the screw 30 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the burring portion 13. Each burring portion 13 is a portion that is formed integrally with the holding plate 12 by subjecting the holding plate 12 to plastic processing such as burring.

[0026] The base metal fitting 10 according to this embodiment has one burring portion 13 on each side of the mounting portion 21. The base metal fitting 10 is fixed to the window frame 3 by clamping the window frame 3 between the clamping plates 11 and the tips of the screws 30 (see FIG. 1).

[0027] Specifically, when each screw 30 is tightened while the window frame 3 is sandwiched between the screws 30 and the clamping plate 11, the tip of each screw 30 comes into contact with the window frame 3 and at the same time the clamping plate 11 presses against the window frame 3 (see Figure 10). As a result, the base metal fitting 10 is fixed in place while being sandwiched between the window frame 3.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 4, a notched recess 15 recessed downward from the upper end is provided in the center of the holding plate 12. As shown in Fig. 5, a neck portion 25, which is a part of the mounting portion 21, fits into the recess 15.

[0029] 1, neck portion 25 is a portion that penetrates recess 15 in the normal direction Lo and connects portion 23A and portion 23B. Portions 23A and 23B form clamping portion 23. Portions 23A and 23B are portions of mounting portion 21 that face each other with holding plate 12 interposed therebetween.

[0030] The clamping portion 23 is a portion that clamps the holding plate 12 from the normal direction Lo. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 7, the clamping portion 23 has two groove portions 23C into which the holding plate 12 is inserted. As shown in Fig. 8, the groove portions 23C extend in the vertical direction.

[0031] 3, the recess 15 is provided with at least one (in this embodiment, a plurality of) recesses 16. Each recess 16 is recessed from the side of the recess 15 toward the corresponding burring portion 13.

[0032] Furthermore, the mounting portion 21 (specifically, the neck portion 25) is provided with bulging portions 25A as shown in Fig. 6. Each bulging portion 25A is a portion that fits into a corresponding recessed portion 16 as shown in Fig. 5.

[0033] 9, a load receiving portion 24 is provided on the mounting portion 21 (in this embodiment, on the lower end surface of portion 23B). The load receiving portion 24 comes into contact with the connecting portion 14 and transmits the downward load acting on the mounting portion 21 to the base metallic part 10.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 7, the mounting portion 21 is provided with retaining portions 22 that can be engaged with the screws 30. The retaining portions 22 according to this embodiment are provided on both sides of the recess 15, i.e., the neck portion 25. Each retaining portion 22 is located between the corresponding screw 30 and the connecting portion 14, as shown in Fig. 9.

[0035] In this embodiment, each screw 30 and each retaining portion 22 are spaced apart by a small gap (see FIG. 10). On the other hand, a portion of the mounting portion 21 located between two screws 30 is in contact with each screw 30 (see FIG. 9).

[0036] Therefore, the mounting part 21 is restricted from being displaced in the left-right direction by the two screws 30. Furthermore, the mounting part 21 is restricted from being displaced in the up-down direction by the two screws 30 and the connecting part 14. Therefore, when the two screws 30 are attached to the base metallic part 10, the mounting part 21 will not come off the base metallic part 10.

[0037] 8, a protrusion 23E is provided on the lower end side of the mounting portion 21, i.e., the lower end side of the groove portion 23C. The protrusion 23E protrudes from the lower end side of the portion 23A in the normal direction Lo so as to close a part of the groove portion 23C on the connecting portion 14 side, i.e., a part of the lower end opening 23F of the groove portion 23C.

[0038] A guide tapered portion 23D is provided on the connecting portion 14 side of groove portion 23C, i.e., on the lower end side of groove portion 23C. Guide tapered portion 23D is a portion where the groove width W increases as it approaches connecting portion 14 (the lower end of groove portion 23C in FIG. 8).

[0039] Specifically, the groove width W of groove 23C is the opposing distance between wall w1 and wall w2. Wall w1 is located on the base end side of protrusion 23E. Wall w2 is located on the tip end side of protrusion 23E in the protruding direction. Wall w2 is inclined so that it moves away from wall w1 as it approaches the lower end of groove 23C.

[0040] <Features of the sunshade hanger according to this embodiment> The mounting part 21 with the hook part 20 integrated therein is detachably attached to the base metal fitting 10. This allows manufacturers to easily provide sunshade hanging devices that meet various specifications by changing the mounting part 21 and the hook part 20 relative to the base metal fitting 10.

[0041] Furthermore, the retaining portion 22 is located closer to the connecting portion 14 than the screw 30, and can be engaged with the screw 30. This prevents the mounting portion 21 from being displaced significantly in the vertical direction.

[0042] That is, the mounting part 21 is provided with a retaining part 22 located between the screw 30 and the connecting part 14. As a result, the vertical displacement of the retaining part 22 is restricted by the screw 30 and the connecting part 14, so that the mounting part 21 is prevented from being displaced significantly in the vertical direction.

[0043] Therefore, with this sunshade hanger 1, the screws 30 for fixing the base metal fitting 10 to the window frame 3 can be used to prevent the mounting portion 21 from coming off the base metal fitting 10. This in turn allows manufacturers to reduce the manufacturing costs of the sunshade hanger 1 while easily providing sunshade hangers that meet a variety of specifications.

[0044] A protrusion 23E is provided at the lower end opening 23F of the groove 23C so as to protrude so as to close off a portion of the lower end opening 23F. This prevents the base metallic fitting 10 from easily coming off the mounting portion 21 before the screw 30 is attached to the base metallic fitting 10.

[0045] However, protrusion 23E protrudes so as to block part of lower end opening 23F of groove 23C, which may impair the ease of installation of base metallic part 10 in mounting part 21, i.e., the ease of insertion of retaining plate 12 into groove 23C.

[0046] However, in this embodiment, a guide tapered portion 23D is provided on the connecting portion 14 side of groove portion 23C, in which the groove width W increases as it approaches connecting portion 14. This can prevent a significant deterioration in the ease of insertion when inserting holding plate 12 into groove portion 23C.

[0047] (Other embodiments) In the above-described embodiment, the resin screw 30 is used. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, the present disclosure may be configured such that the screw 30 is a urea screw, for example.

[0048] The hook portion 20 in the above-described embodiment is substantially J-shaped. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In other words, the hook portion 20 may have any shape as long as it can hang a sunshade.

[0049] In the above-described embodiment, the tip of the screw 30 and the clamping plate 11 are in direct contact with the window frame 3. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, the present disclosure may be configured, for example, such that a resin plate or the like is interposed between the tip of the screw 30 and the window frame 3, or such that a resin plate or the like is interposed between the clamping plate 11 and the window frame 3.

[0050] In the above-described embodiment, the screw 30 and the burring portion 13 are provided on both sides of the recess 15. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, it is sufficient for the present disclosure that at least one screw 30 and one burring portion 13 are provided.

[0051] The burring portion 13 according to the above embodiment is a cylindrical portion that protrudes in the normal direction Lo from the surface of the holding plate 12 opposite the clamping plate 11. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, in the present disclosure, the burring portion may be configured as a cylindrical portion that protrudes in the normal direction Lo from the surface of the holding plate 12 on the clamping plate 11 side.

[0052] In the above-described embodiment, the retaining portion 22 is located between the screw 30 and the connecting portion 14. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, in this disclosure, it is sufficient that the retaining portion 22 can be engaged with the screw 30. Therefore, for example, the retaining portion 22 may be located on the opposite side of the holding plate 12 from the clamping plate 11.

[0053] In the above-described embodiment, the connecting portion 14 is in the shape of a strip that connects the lower end of the clamping plate 11 and the lower end of the holding plate 12. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, in the present disclosure, it is sufficient that the connecting portion 14 is a member that connects the clamping plate 11 and the holding plate 12.

[0054] In the above-described embodiment, the protrusion 23E, the guide tapered portion 23D, the recessed portion 16, and the bulged portion 25A are provided. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, the present disclosure may be configured in such a way that these are omitted.

[0055] In the above-described embodiment, each screw 30 and each retaining portion 22 are spaced apart by a small gap. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, in the present disclosure, each screw 30 and each retaining portion 22 may be in contact with each other.
