DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] 1 is a front view of a door device in a fully closed position as seen from the outside, and the door device comprises a vertically rectangular door body 1 and a door frame consisting of an upper frame 2, a trailing edge vertical frame 3, a leading edge vertical frame 4, and a lower frame 5. The door device is a hinged door, and the trailing edge portion of the door body 1 is rotatably attached to the trailing edge vertical frame 3 by a hinge 6. The door body 1 in this embodiment is a large door body, but the size of the door body 1 is not limited.

[0022] The hinge 6 comprises a first slat 60 fixed to the trailing edge portion of the outdoor side surface 1' of the door body 1, a second slat 61 inserted into the trailing edge vertical frame 3 and fixed therein, and a shaft 62 to which the base ends of the first slat 60 and the second slat 61 are rotatably attached. In the illustrated embodiment, three hinges 6 are provided along the height of the door body 1, but the number of hinges 6 is not limited. In this embodiment, a support member 7 extending in the height direction along the trailing edge vertical frame 3 is provided inside the trailing edge vertical frame 3, and the second slat 61 of the hinge 6 is fixed to the support member 7 inside the trailing edge vertical frame 3.

[0023] The trailing edge vertical frame 3 is a long member extending in the opening height direction, and as shown in Figures 3 and 5, it has a narrow first visible surface 30 facing the outdoors and a wide second visible surface 31 facing the indoors. The visible portion of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 consists of a first visible surface 32 on the first visible surface 30 side, a second visible surface 33 on the second visible surface 31 side, and an intermediate visible surface 34 that forms a step between the first visible surface 32 and the second visible surface 33. The first visible surface 30 is formed with a first outer visible edge 35 that extends opposite the first visible surface 32, and the second visible surface 31 is formed with a second outer visible edge 36 that extends opposite the second visible surface 33.

[0024] An insertion hole 300 into which the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted is formed in the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 at a position corresponding to the mounting position (upper end portion, lower end portion, midway portion) of the hinge 6. The insertion hole 300 has a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the second blade 61 of the hinge 6, and in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the insertion hole 300 and the second blade 61 are vertically rectangular. The area (height dimension, width dimension) of the insertion hole 300 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area (longitudinal dimension, transverse dimension) of the second blade 61. When the second blade 61 is inserted into the insertion hole 300, a slight gap (clearance) C exists between the surface of the second blade 61 (four peripheral surfaces consisting of a left side surface 610, a right side surface 611, an upper end surface 612, and a lower end surface 613) and the edge of the insertion hole 300 (four peripheral edges consisting of a left edge 3000, a right edge 3001, an upper edge 3002, and a lower edge 3003) (FIG. 3(B)). Note that "left" and "right" refer to "left" and "right" when viewed from the insertion direction of the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5).

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the support member 7 is an elongated member extending in the opening height direction, and as shown in Figures 3 and 5, it has an L-shaped cross section, with a projection portion 70 extending in the projection direction (indoor / outdoor direction) and a projection portion 71 extending in the projection direction. The projection portion 70 of the support member 7 has a projection dimension larger than the first projection surface 32 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3, and is fixed (welded) with the tip of the projection portion 70 close to or abutting the inner surface of the first projection surface 30 and one surface 700 of the projection portion 70 abutting the inner surface of the first projection surface 32. The base end of the projection portion 70 faces the second projection surface 33, and the projection portion 71 extends to the outside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 through the space between the first outer projection edge 35 and the second outer projection edge 36. The dimensions of the projected portion 70 and the facing portion 71 of the illustrated support member 7 are examples, and for example, the projected dimension of the projected portion 70 of the support member 7 may be smaller than the first projected surface 32 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3, or the facing portion 71 of the support member 7 may be sized to fit within the leading edge vertical frame 3. Furthermore, the shape of the illustrated support member 7 is an example, and the shape of the support member 7 is not limited to an L-shape in cross section.

[0026] A plurality of first band-shaped connecting plates 37 extending horizontally are connected to the first outer projected edge 35 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3, and a plurality of second band-shaped connecting plates 38 extending horizontally are connected to the second outer projected edge 36. One end of the first band-shaped connecting plate 37 is connected to the first outer projected edge 35, and a bent piece 370 integrally formed at the other end abuts against one side of the facing portion 71 of the support member 7. One end of the second band-shaped connecting plate 38 is connected to the second outer projected edge 36, and a bent piece 380 integrally formed at the other end abuts against the other side of the facing portion 71 of the support member 7. If the facing portion 71 of the support member 7 is small, a single band-shaped connecting plate may be used. In one embodiment, the trailing edge vertical frame 3 is fixed (welded) to the frame via the support member 7. Furthermore, the first band-shaped connecting plate 37 and the second band-shaped connecting plate 38 may be used as auxiliary means for fixing the trailing edge vertical frame 3 to the frame body.

[0027] The thickness of the projected portion 70 and the projected portion 71 of the support member 7 is thicker than the plate material forming the trailing edge vertical frame 3, and is strong enough to support the weight of the large door body 1. With one surface 700 of the projected portion 70 abutting against the inner surface of the first projected surface 32, the other surface 701 of the projected portion 70 is positioned so that the surface portion (left side surface portion 610) of the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted through the insertion hole 300 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 comes into sliding contact with the projected portion 70 of the support member 7, and the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted inside the trailing edge vertical frame 3 abuts against the projected portion 70 of the support member 7 and is fixed with screws S (eight in this embodiment).

[0028] As described above, the area (height dimension, width dimension) of the insertion hole 300 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area (longitudinal dimension, transverse dimension) of the second blade 61, and when the second blade 61 is inserted into the insertion hole 300, the surface portion of the second blade 61 (four peripheral surfaces consisting of a left side surface portion 610, a right side surface portion 611, an upper end surface 612, and a lower end surface 613) and the edge portion of the insertion hole 300 (left edge portion 3000, a right edge portion 3001, an upper edge portion 3002, and a lower edge portion 3003) are in contact with each other. However, in the mounting structure of the hinge 6 in this embodiment, a sealant 8 is provided to seal the four-sided corner A (which is connected to the gap C) formed on the outside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 by the surface portions (left side surface portion 610, right side surface portion 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second panel 61 and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, and the sealant 8 seals the corner A and the gap C, thereby closing the gap C.

[0029] The mounting structure and method (water-stopping structure and method) of the hinge 6 according to this embodiment will be described in detail. In this embodiment, the sealant 8 is a sheet-like member called a waterproof airtight tape or an airtight waterproof tape. The sealant 8 has an elastic base and an adhesive layer. The base is made of an elastic resin or rubber, such as EVA or polyethylene. The adhesive layer is made of a material used for waterproof airtight tape or an airtight waterproof tape, such as an acrylic adhesive.

[0030] Before inserting the hinge 6 into the insertion hole 300 in the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3, a sealant 8 is attached to the first visible surface 30 so as to close the insertion hole 300 in the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6 , the sealant 8 is composed of a first portion 80 adhered to the first visible surface 30 and a second portion 81 surrounded by the first portion 80 and facing the insertion hole 300. A slit 82 is formed in the second portion 81 of the sealant 8 along the length of the insertion hole 300. The length of the slit 82 is approximately the same as or shorter than the longitudinal dimension (height dimension) of the insertion hole 300 and the longitudinal dimension of the cross section of the second panel 61. The upper end of the slit 82 is separated from an upper edge 3002 of the insertion hole 300, and the lower end of the slit 82 is separated from a lower edge 3003 of the insertion hole 300. The second portions 81 are present above and below the slit 82.

[0031] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in this embodiment, a decorative cover 9 is provided to conceal the sealant 8 attached to the first visible surface 30. As shown in Figure 9, the decorative cover 9 is a vertically rectangular plate having an area (height dimension, width dimension) that is approximately the same as or larger than the sheet-like sealant 8 attached to the first visible surface 30, and the decorative cover 9 conceals the sealant 8 when the decorative cover 9 is fixed to the first visible surface 30 with screws 10. An insertion hole 90 (which may be approximately the same as, or slightly smaller or larger than, the insertion hole 300) is formed in the decorative cover 9, and when the decorative cover 9 is fixed to the first visible surface 30, most of the second portion 81 of the sealant 8 and the slit 82 are exposed from the insertion hole 90 (see Figure 7). The dimensions (height and width) of the insertion hole 90 of the decorative cover 9 are slightly larger than the dimensions (longitudinal and lateral dimensions of the cross section) of the second blade 61 of the hinge 6, allowing the second blade 61 to be inserted.

[0032] 7, the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 300 formed in the first visible surface 30 while pushing the slit 82 apart, and the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted inside the trailing edge vertical frame 3 is brought into contact with the projection portion 70 of the support member 7 and fixed with the screw S. When the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 300 by pushing it into the slit 82, the surface of the second portion 81 around the periphery of the slit 82 comes into contact with the face portions (left side face portion 610, right side face portion 611, upper end face 612, lower end face 613) of the second blade 61, and is pushed into the insertion hole 300 so as to be caught up in the insertion of the second blade 61, forming a bent portion 81'.

[0033] The thickness dimension of the sheet-like sealing material 8 is approximately the same as or larger than the gap C between the edge of the insertion hole 300 (left edge 3000, right edge 3001, upper edge 3002, lower edge 3003) and the surface of the second blade 61 (left side 610, right side 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613), and as shown in Figure 10, the first surface of the folded portion 81' is in close contact with the surface of the second blade 61 (left side 610, right side 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613), and the second surface (adhesive surface) of the folded portion 81' is adhered to the edge of the insertion hole 300 (left edge 3000, right edge 3001, upper edge 3002, lower edge 3003).

[0034] More specifically, the second blade 61 according to this embodiment has a rectangular cross section, and the surface of the second blade 61 includes a left side surface 610, a right side surface 611, an upper end surface 612, and a lower end surface 613. The insertion hole 300 has a square cross section, and the edge of the insertion hole 300 includes a left edge 3000, a right edge 3001, an upper edge 3002, and a lower edge 3003. The folded portion of the periphery of the slit 82 is 81' is made up of a left portion that fits tightly against the left side surface 610 of the second blade 61 and the left edge 3000 of the insertion hole 300, a right portion that fits tightly against the right side surface 611 of the second blade 61 and the right edge 3001 of the insertion hole 300, an upper portion that fits tightly against the upper end surface 612 of the second blade 61 and the upper edge 3002 of the insertion hole 300, and a lower portion that fits tightly against the lower end surface 613 of the second blade 61 and the lower edge 3003 of the insertion hole 300. In the illustrated embodiment, the bent portion 81' fills the entire gap C, and its tip extends beyond the insertion hole 300 into the trailing edge vertical frame 3.

[0035] The corners of the first part 80 of the sealing material 8 and the folded portion 81' seal a four-sided corner A formed on the outside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 by the surface of the second panel 61 (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, and the four-sided folded portion 81' seals a gap C formed between the surface of the second panel 61 (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) and the edge of the insertion hole 300 (left edge portion 3000, right edge portion 3001, upper edge portion 3002, lower edge portion 3003), thereby preventing water from seeping in through the gap C.

[0036] The process for attaching the hinge 6 according to this embodiment is as follows. (A) A sealant 8 with a slit 82 formed in advance is prepared, and the sealant 8 is attached so that it covers the insertion hole 300 formed in the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3. At this time, the sealant 8 is attached so that the slit 82 is positioned in the insertion hole 300. The sealant 8 attached to the first visible surface 30 consists of a first portion 80 that adheres to the first visible surface 30 and a second portion 81 that is positioned in the insertion hole 300, and the slit 82 is formed in the second portion 81. The length of the slit 82 is approximately the same as or slightly shorter than the height dimension of the second panel 61 of the hinge 6. The timing for forming the slit 82 may be the same as the step described in (A').

(d) The second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted into the inside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 is brought into contact with the projection portion 70 of the support member 7 and fixed with the screw S. (O) In the process of pushing open the slit 82 and inserting the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 into the insertion hole 300, the second portion 81 on the periphery of the slit 82 is bent into the insertion hole 300 to form a bent portion 81', the first surface of the bent portion 81' being in close contact with the surface of the second blade 61, and the second surface of the bent portion 81' being in close contact with the edge of the insertion hole 300, thereby sealing the gap C. In the method for attaching the hinge 6 according to this embodiment, the waterproof structure can be formed in the process of attaching the hinge 6, and workability on site is good.

[0037] 11 to 17, a description will be given of a structure and method (water-stopping structure and method) for mounting a hinge 6 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a sealant 8' is provided in the mounting structure for the hinge 6 to seal a corner A (see FIG. 11(B)) formed on the outside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 by the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, and lower end surface 613) of the second slat 61 and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30. The sealant 8' seals the corner A, thereby closing the gap C (FIG. 11(A)). A cover 9' is fixed to the outer surface of the first visible surface 30 so as to confine the sealant 8' in a compressed state. The structures of the hinge 6, the trailing edge vertical frame 3, and the support member 7 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and the above descriptions can be used as appropriate.

[0038] In this embodiment, the sealing material 8' is a member called a foam sealing material. The sealing material 8' includes a base made of a foam having a predetermined thickness and an adhesive layer. The base is made of an elastic resin or rubber foam, such as EPDM rubber foam. The adhesive layer is made of an acrylic adhesive or a rubber adhesive, for example.

[0039] 16, the cover body 9' is composed of a vertically rectangular surface portion 90' and a four-sided peripheral edge portion 91', and the surface portion 90' has an insertion hole 92' (which may be substantially the same as, or slightly smaller or larger than, the insertion hole 300) formed therein and slightly larger than the cross-sectional area (longitudinal dimensions, lateral dimensions) of the second blade 61 of the hinge 6. With the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted through the insertion hole 92', the second blade 61 is inserted into the insertion hole 300 formed in the first visible surface 30, and the second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted inside the trailing edge vertical frame 3 and the projection portion 70 of the support member 7 are brought into contact with each other and fixed with screws S.

[0040] The sealant 8' is arranged around the four periphery so as to seal the four periphery corner A formed on the outside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 by the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, top end surface 612, bottom end surface 613) of the second panel 61 and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, and the four periphery sealant 8' is confined in a compressed state by a cover body 9' fixed with screws 10 to the outer surface of the first visible surface 30. The sealant 8', which is mainly made of a foam, is in a compressed state within the space (including the four periphery corner A) formed by the inner surface of the cover body 9' and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, and the sealant 8' seals the space including the corner A, thereby closing the gap C.

[0041] In one embodiment, the sealant 8' is prepared as a narrow, elongated member and wrapped around the second leaf 61 of the hinge 6 along the four circumferential corners A. At least a portion of the adhesive layer of the sealant 8' is located outside the first visible surface 30 and adheres to the surfaces (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, and lower end surface 613) of the second leaf 61 of the hinge 6 that form the corners A, and the foam portion of the sealant 8' is in close contact with the first visible surface 30 that forms the corners A. The thickness of the sealant 8' (strip-shaped foam sealing material) according to this embodiment is greater than the dimension between the surface 90' ​​of the cover body 9' and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, and the sealant 8' is confined in a compressed state in the space formed by the inner surface of the cover body 9' and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30. In addition to or instead of the thickness of the sealing material 8' being greater than the dimension between the surface portion 90' of the cover body 9' and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, the width dimension of the sealing material 8 may be greater than the dimension between the four-circumferential peripheral edge portion 91' of the cover body 9' and the side surface portion 610, right side surface portion 611, upper end surface 612, and lower end surface 613, so that the sealing material 8' in a compressed state is confined within the space formed by the inner surface of the cover body 9', the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, and the surface portion of the second panel 61.

[0042] The process for attaching the hinge 6 according to this embodiment is as follows. (A) The second blade 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 92' of the surface portion 90' of the cover body 9'. (a) The second blade 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 300 while being inserted through the insertion hole 92' of the cover body 9', and then inserted into the inside of the trailing edge side vertical frame 3. (c) The second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted into the inside of the vertical frame 3 on the trailing edge side of the door is brought into contact with the projection portion 70 of the support member 7 and fixed with the screw S. (d) With the cover body 9' spaced away from the first visible surface 30, the sealant 8' is attached around the four sides (corner A) of the surfaces (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second panel 61. The volume of the sealant 8' attached around the four sides is larger than the space formed by the inner surface of the cover body 9' and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30. (E) The cover body 9' is placed over the sealing material 8' so as to crush the sealing material 8', and the cover body 9' is fixed to the first mounting surface 30 with the screws 10. (c) By confining the sealing material 8' arranged around the four periphery in a compressed state by the cover body 9' fixed to the outer surface of the first visible surface 30 with screws 10, the sealing material 8', which is mainly made of a foam, is in a compressed state within the space (including the corner A around the four periphery) formed by the inner surface of the cover body 9', the outer surface of the first visible surface 30, and the second leaf 61 of the hinge 6, and the sealing material 8' seals the space including the corner A, thereby closing the gap C. In the method for attaching the hinge 6 according to this embodiment, the waterproof structure can be formed in the process of attaching the hinge 6, and workability on site is good.

[0043] 18 to 23, a description will be given of a structure and method (water-stopping structure and method) for mounting a hinge 6 according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, in the mounting structure for the hinge 6, a sealant 18 is provided to seal a corner A (see FIG. 18(B)) formed on the outside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 by the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second slat 61 of the hinge 6 and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3. The sealant 18 seals the corner A, thereby closing a gap C. The structures of the hinge 6, the trailing edge vertical frame 3, and the support member 7 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and the above descriptions can be used as appropriate.

[0044] The sealant 18 is formed from a long member called a waterproof airtight tape or airtight waterproof tape, and is configured to close the gap C by adhering it around the four periphery of the corner A (see FIG. 22). The sealant 18 has an elastic base and an adhesive layer. In the sealant 18 according to this embodiment, the base is made of an elastic resin or rubber, such as EVA or polyethylene. The adhesive layer is made of a material used for waterproof airtight tape or airtight waterproof tape, such as an acrylic adhesive.

[0045] The sealant 18 is composed of a first portion 180 adhered to the first visible surface 30 and a second portion 181 adhered to the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second flap 61 located on the outside of the frame body. The first portion 180 is arranged on the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 around the four periphery of the insertion hole 300 into which the second flap 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted, and is adhered to the first visible surface 30. The second portion 181 is arranged around the four periphery of the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second flap 61 of the hinge 6 and is adhered to the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613). The sealing material 18 bonded around the four periphery of the corner A has an L-shaped cross section consisting of a first portion 180 and a second portion 181, and a corner portion 182 is located close to the corner A and the gap C.

[0046] The cover 19 according to this embodiment is a vertically rectangular plate, and has a vertically elongated opening 190 formed therein that is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area (longitudinal and lateral dimensions) of the second slat 61 of the hinge 6. The opening 190 has substantially the same shape and dimensions (it may be slightly smaller or larger) as the insertion hole 300 of the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3. With the second slat 61 of the hinge 6 inserted through the opening 190, the second slat 61 is inserted into the insertion hole 300 formed in the first visible surface 30, and the second slat 61 of the hinge 6 inserted inside the trailing edge vertical frame 3 and the projecting portion 70 of the support member 7 are brought into contact with each other and fixed with screws S.

[0047] When the hinge 6 is fixed to the trailing edge vertical frame 3, the sealant 18 is provided around the four periphery so as to seal a four-periphery corner A formed on the outside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3 by the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second flap 61 and the outer surface of the first visible surface 30. When the corner A is sealed, the sealant 18 is made up of a first portion 180 adhered to the first visible surface 30, and a second portion 181 adhered to the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second flap 61 located on the outside of the frame body.

[0048] With the gap C closed by the sealant 18, the cover 19 is fixed to the first visible surface 30 with the screws 10. With the cover 19 fixed to the first visible surface 30, the first portion 180 of the sealant 18 is sandwiched between the back surface 191 of the cover 190 and the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3, and the elastic first portion 180 is in a compressed state. With the cover 19 fixed to the first visible surface 30, the second portion 181 of the sealant 18 is located within the opening 190 of the cover 19 and is adjacent to or abuts against the edge 190' of the opening 190. In this embodiment, the entire second portion 181 of the sealant 18 is located within the opening 190, so that the sealant 18 does not impair the design. Note that even if a portion of the second portion 181 of the sealant 18 protrudes from the opening 190, this does not affect waterproofing.

[0049] The process for attaching the hinge 6 according to this embodiment is as follows. (A) The second blade 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted into the opening 190 of the cover 19. (a) The second blade 61 of the hinge 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 300 while being inserted through the opening 190 of the cover 19, and then inserted into the inside of the trailing edge vertical frame 3. (c) The second blade 61 of the hinge 6 inserted into the inside of the vertical frame 3 on the trailing edge side of the door is brought into contact with the projection portion 70 of the support member 7 and fixed with the screw S. (d) With cover 19 spaced apart from first visible surface 30, sealant 18 made of a narrow, elongated member is prepared and attached around the entire periphery of corner A. At this time, first widthwise portion 180 of sealant 18 is adhered to first visible surface 30, and second widthwise portion 181 is adhered to portions of the face portions (left side face portion 610, right side face portion 611, upper end face 612, lower end face 613) of second panel 61 that are positioned outside the frame, and corner portion 182 that is bent in an L-shape in cross section from first portion 180 and second portion 181 is brought close to corner A to close gap C. (E) The cover 19 is fixed to the first visible surface 30 with screws 10 so as to cover the sealant 18 attached around the corner A. The first portion 180 of the sealant 18 is sandwiched and concealed between the back surface 191 of the cover 190 and the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3. When the back surface 191 of the cover 19 is abutted against the first visible surface 30 of the trailing edge vertical frame 3, the opening 190 of the cover 19 receives the second portion 181 of the sealant 18 attached to the surface portions (left side surface 610, right side surface 611, upper end surface 612, lower end surface 613) of the second panel 61. At this time, if a portion of the second portion 181 protrudes from the opening 190, the protruding portion is cut off so that the entire second portion 181 is positioned within the opening 190.

[0050] In the method of attaching the hinge 6 according to this embodiment, all portions of the sealant 18 are provided on the outside of the frame, so the state of adhesion of the sealant 18 can be visually checked, insufficient adhesion can be prevented as much as possible, and workability is also good. Furthermore, replacement of the sealant 18 can be easily performed by removing the cover 19, making maintenance easy. [Explanation of symbols]
