Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to building materials. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, composite fittings with a lower frame having a metal frame and a resin frame are known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In some such fittings, angle members are provided on the interior side of the resin frame, and the angle members are fixed to the frame of the opening in the main body with screws. In this case, the heads of the screws are exposed on the surface of the angle members, so the screws that fix the angle members are covered with resin covers. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-124407 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Resin cover materials expand and contract due to temperature changes. Therefore, when the resin cover material contracts, gaps may form at the longitudinal ends, which may impair the design. In addition, end pieces may be provided at both longitudinal ends of the cover material to prevent the interior from being exposed even if a gap forms between the cover material and the frame. In this case, the end pieces are visible from the outside, impairing the design.
[0005] The present disclosure aims to provide a fixture that can improve design. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present disclosure relates to a fixture having a frame, the frame having a resin angle member that is positioned on the inside of the room and attached to a main body, and a metal cover member that covers the angle member. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. [Figure 5] 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a resin angle member and a metal cover member of the lower frame in FIG. 3.
[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. A description will be given of a fitting 1 according to one embodiment. In this specification, the "visible direction" refers to the face direction of the surface material of the fitting 1 placed in an opening formed in the wall of a building, and the "visible direction" refers to the thickness direction of the surface material (i.e., the depth direction). The "visible direction" also refers to the indoor / outdoor direction. The "visible surface" refers to the surface of the fitting 1 facing the outside and the inside of the room, respectively, and the "visible surface" refers to the surface of the fitting 1 extending in the indoor / outdoor direction. In the drawings, the outdoor side of the fitting 1 is referred to as the outdoor side X1, and the indoor side of the fitting 1 is referred to as the indoor side X2. The "horizontal direction" of the outer shoji screen 5 is also referred to as the left-right direction.
[0009] As shown in Figure 1, the building fixture 1 comprises a frame body 2 attached to the opening 10a of the main body 10, a post 3 arranged within the frame body 2, a FIX section 4 arranged on the inside X2 of the frame body 2 on one side of the post 3 in the left-right direction, an outer shoji screen 5 arranged on the outside X1 of the frame body 2 so as to be movable in the left-right direction, and a pleated screen 6 (retractable screen) arranged on the inside X2 of the frame body 2 so as to be retractable on the other side of the post 3 in the left-right direction.
[0010] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the frame body 2 is formed by framing an upper frame 72 (see Figure 2), a lower frame 22 (frame) (see Figure 3), and a pair of left and right vertical frames (the right vertical frame 82 in Figure 1 (see Figure 4), and the left vertical frame in Figure 1 (not shown)) in a rectangular shape. Note that Figure 4 shows the vertical frame 82 arranged on the right side of the frame body 2 in Figure 1. The left vertical frame (not shown) in Figure 1 has a symmetrical structure to the right vertical frame 82, so illustration and description thereof will be omitted.
[0011] The outer shoji screen 5 is a shoji screen that can be opened and closed by sliding left and right (horizontally) within the frame body 2. As shown in Fig. 1, the outer shoji screen 5 is configured to be able to open and close an opening 20 formed on the other left and right side (the left side in Fig. 1) of the mullion 3 provided in the middle of the frame body 2 in the left and right direction. As shown in Fig. 1, a handle 531 is attached to a vertical frame 53 located on the door edge side of the outer shoji screen 5.
[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the FIX section 4 is configured by fixing a glass panel 41 as a surface material to the mullion 3 and the frame body 2 on one side in the left-right direction (the right side in Fig. 1) of the mullion 3 within the frame body 2. The FIX section 4 is a fixed window that cannot be opened or closed.
[0013] On the left-right side of the upper frame 72 on the FIX section 4 side, as shown in Figure 2, the outer edge of the upper side of the glass panel 41 is attached to a FIX side attachment 721 fixed to the indoor side X2 of the upper frame 72 by a push edge 722 arranged on the outdoor side X1.
[0014] As shown in Figure 2, the upper frame 72 has an upper frame main body 73, an angle base member 76, a resin angle member 74 (angle member) made of resin and arranged at the lower end of the indoor side X2 end of the upper frame main body 73, and a metal cover member 75 (cover member) made of metal and covering the resin angle member 74.
[0015] The upper frame body 73 is divided into an outdoor metal frame body 731 and an indoor metal frame body 732. The outdoor metal frame body 731 and the indoor metal frame body 732 are connected by a resin connecting material 733.
[0016] On the left-right side of the lower frame 22 on the FIX section 4 side, as shown in Figure 3, the outer edge of the lower side of the glass panel 41 is attached to a FIX side attachment 221 fixed to the indoor side X2 of the lower frame 22 by a push edge 222 arranged on the outdoor side X1.
[0017] As shown in Figure 3, the lower frame 22 has a lower frame main body 23, an angle base member 26, a resin angle member 24 (angle member) made of resin and arranged at the upper end of the indoor side X2 end of the lower frame main body 23, and a metal cover member 25 (cover member) made of metal that covers the resin angle member 24.
[0018] The lower frame body 23 is divided into an outdoor metal frame body 231 and an indoor metal frame body 232. The outdoor metal frame body 231 and the indoor metal frame body 232 are connected by a resin connecting material 233.
[0019] In the vertical frame 82, as shown in Figure 4, the outer edge of the right side of the glass panel 41 in the left-right direction is attached to a FIX side attachment 821 fixed to the indoor side X2 of the vertical frame 82 by a push edge 822 arranged on the outdoor side X1.
[0020] As shown in Figure 4, the vertical frame 82 has a vertical frame main body 83, an angle base member 86, a resin angle member 84 (angle member) made of resin that is arranged at the inner end of the indoor side X2 end of the vertical frame main body 83, and a metal cover member 85 (cover member) made of metal that covers the resin angle member 84.
[0021] Next, we will explain the details of the configuration around the resin angle member 24 (angle member) and the metal cover member 25 (cover member) in the lower frame 22. As shown in Fig. 5, in the lower frame 22, the angle base member 26 is attached to the end of the lower frame main body 23 on the indoor side X2. The angle base member 26 has an insertion groove 261 that opens upward. The insertion groove 261 is formed in the end of the lower frame main body 23 on the indoor side X2.
[0022] 5, the resin angle member 24 has an upper panel 241 extending in the left-right direction along the upper surface of the frame member 11 below the body opening, and an insertion protrusion 242 protruding downward from the upper panel 241 and extending along the longitudinal direction of the lower frame 22. The upper panel 241 extends along the upper surface of the frame member 11 below the body opening, and is attached to the body 10 by being fixed to the frame member 11 below the body opening with screws 12.
[0023] The insertion protrusion 242 can be fitted into the insertion groove 261 of the angle base member 26. As a result, the resin angle member 24 is attached to the lower frame body 23 by fitting the insertion protrusion 242 into the insertion groove 261.
[0024] 5, the metal cover member 25 is arranged to cover the resin angle member 24 and the screws 12 that secure the resin angle member 24. The metal cover member 25 is attached to the resin angle member 24 by fitting. The metal cover member 25 is made of metal, such as aluminum.
[0025] The metal cover member 25 has a cover upper surface plate 251, two fitting protrusions 252, 253 that protrude downward from the cover upper surface plate 251 and are spaced apart in the indoor / outdoor direction, and a protruding piece 254 that protrudes downward in a T-shape from an intermediate position between the fitting protrusions 252, 253 on the underside of the cover upper surface plate 251. Both ends of the resin angle member 24 in the indoor / outdoor direction are sandwiched and engaged between the two fitting protrusions 252, 253, thereby fitting and attaching the metal cover member 25 to the resin angle member 24. The underside of the protruding piece 254 is attached to the upper surface of the top surface plate 241 of the resin angle member 24 with double-sided tape 254a (adhesive member).
[0026] According to this embodiment, the following effects are achieved: The lower frame 22 of the fitting 1 of this embodiment has a resin angle member 24 that is arranged on the indoor side X2 and attached to the skeleton 10, and a metal cover member 25 that covers the resin angle member 24.
[0027] This makes the cover member less likely to shrink in the longitudinal direction than if it were made of resin. This prevents gaps from being formed at the longitudinal end of the metal cover member 25, making the interior visible, improving the design. Also, because the metal cover member 25 is made of metal, its surface is less likely to be scratched than if it were made of resin. The metal cover member 25 is less likely to break even if it is repeatedly attached and removed.
[0028] In this embodiment, the metal cover member 25 is attached to the resin angle member 24 by fitting. This makes it possible to easily attach the metal cover member 25 to the resin angle member 24. Furthermore, by using double-sided tape 254a, the resin angle member 24 can be attached to the metal cover member 25 even more firmly.
[0029] Although a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be modified as appropriate.
[0030] In the above embodiment, the case where the frame is applied to the lower frame 22 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The configuration around the resin angle member 74 (angle member) and the metal cover member 75 (cover member) in the upper frame 71 and the configuration around the resin angle member 84 (angle member) and the metal cover member 85 (cover member) in the vertical frame 82 have the same configuration corresponding to the configuration around the resin angle member 24 (angle member) and the metal cover member 25 (cover member) in the lower frame 22, except for the orientation of the arrangement, and therefore the same configuration can be applied.
[0031] Specifically, the "upper frame body 73," "angle base member 76," "resin angle member 74 (angle member)," and "metal cover member 75 (cover member)" (see FIG. 2) of the upper frame 72 correspond to the "lower frame body 23," "angle base member 26," "resin angle member 24 (angle member)," and "metal cover member 25 (cover member)" (see FIG. 3) of the lower frame 22. The "vertical frame body 83," "angle base member 86," "resin angle member 84 (angle member)," and "metal cover member 85 (cover member)" (see FIG. 4) of the vertical frame 82 correspond to the "lower frame body 23," "angle base member 26," "resin angle member 24 (angle member)," and "metal cover member 25 (cover member)" (see FIG. 3) of the lower frame 22. Therefore, the frame may be applied to the upper frame 72 or the vertical frame 82. [Explanation of symbols]
