[0030] The resin frame portion 7B has a locking piece 37 that is locked to the multiple locking protrusions 25 of the metal frame portion 7A, and the multiple locking portions 35 are formed on the locking piece 37. The locking piece 37 extends in the longitudinal direction of the resin frame portion 7B between one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the resin frame portion 7B. The locking piece 37 is also provided on the facing portion 31 and protrudes from the facing portion 31 toward the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A.

[0031] The interlocking piece 37 has a first protruding portion 37A and a second protruding portion 37B formed continuously. The first protruding portion 37A protrudes from the opposing portion 31 toward the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A in the sight direction S of the first vertical door frame 7. The second protruding portion 37B protrudes toward the outside of the room from the tip of the first protruding portion 37A in the protruding direction and is arranged along the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A. The interlocking piece 37 is formed into a bent shape by the first protruding portion 37A and the second protruding portion 37B, and is bent toward the outside of the room.

[0032] Fig. 5 is a view showing the locking protrusions 25 of the resin frame 7B and metal frame 7A of the first embodiment as viewed from the direction of arrow X in Fig. 4, illustrating one end of the resin frame 7B in the longitudinal direction. Fig. 5 shows a cross section of the locking protrusions 25 (threaded portions 26A). Figs. 5A to 5C also show three examples of the shapes of the locked portions 35 of the resin frame 7B.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the multiple interlocking portions 35 of the resin frame portion 7B are recesses 37C formed at multiple locations on the interlocking pieces 37 (here, the second protrusions 37B) spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the resin frame portion 7B. The recesses 37C are notches formed by cutting out the interlocking pieces 37, and are formed in a concave shape in the interlocking pieces 37 at multiple locations in the longitudinal direction of the interlocking pieces 37. The recesses 37C penetrate the interlocking pieces 37 in the viewing direction S of the first vertical door frame 7. The recesses 37C are recessed from the exterior end (tip) of the interlocking pieces 37 toward the interior and open toward the exterior. The recesses 37C are formed, for example, in a rectangular shape (see FIG. 5A), a triangular shape (see FIG. 5B), or a U-shape (see FIG. 5C) when viewed from the viewing direction S of the first vertical door frame 7.

[0034] The multiple locked portions 35 (recesses 37C) of the resin frame portion 7B are recessed locking recesses formed in a concave shape and are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the resin frame portion 7B. The locked portions 35 are provided at one or more locations near both longitudinal ends of the resin frame portion 7B and between the locked portions 35 near both longitudinal ends. Here, three locked portions 35 are provided on the locked pieces 37 of the resin frame portion 7B. The locked pieces 37 and the locked portions 35 are located between the first engaged portion 33 and the second engaged portion 34 in the projection direction R of the first vertical door / window frame 7, and the multiple locked portions 35 are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the resin frame portion 7B.

[0035] The threaded portion 26A, which is the locking protrusion 25 of the metal frame portion 7A, is positioned within the recessed portion 37C, which is the locked portion 35 of the resin frame portion 7B, and fits into the recessed portion 37C. As a result, the multiple locked portions 35 of the resin frame portion 7B are caught on and locked to the corresponding locking protrusions 25 of the metal frame portion 7A. The locking protrusions 25 are holding portions, and the locked portions 35 are held portions. The locked portions 35 and locked pieces 37 are held by the locking protrusions 25 in the longitudinal direction of the first vertical door frame 7, and the locking protrusions 25 restrict displacement of the first vertical door frame 7 in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the locking protrusions 25 restrict displacement of the locked portions 35 and locked pieces 37 to one side (here, the outside of the room) in the projection direction R of the first vertical door frame 7.

[0036] The locking protrusion 25 of the metal frame portion 7A and the locked portion 35 of the resin frame portion 7B are located between the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A and the facing portion 31 of the resin frame portion 7B (see FIG. 4). Here, the multiple engaging portions 23, 24 and multiple locking protrusions 25 of the metal frame portion 7A, and the multiple engaged portions 33, 34, locked pieces 37 and multiple locked portions 35 of the resin frame portion 7B are all located between the recessed portion 20 and the facing portion 31 in the viewing direction S of the first vertical door and window frame 7. Between the recessed portion 20 and the facing portion 31, the engaged portions 33, 34 engage with the engaging portions 23, 24, and the locked portion 35 is locked to the locking protrusion 25.

[0037] The locking protrusions 25 of the metal frame portion 7A and the locked portions 35 of the resin frame portion 7B are covered and shielded by the resin frame portion 7B when the first vertical door and window frame 7 is viewed from both the inside and outside of the building 10. Here, the multiple engaging portions 23, 24 and multiple locking protrusions 25 of the metal frame portion 7A, and the multiple engaged portions 33, 34, locked pieces 37, and multiple locked portions 35 of the resin frame portion 7B are all positioned in positions that are shielded by the resin frame portion 7B and the metal frame portion 7A. The engaged portions 33, 34 are shielded by the resin frame portion 7B when engaged with the engaging portions 23, 24, and the locked portion 35 is shielded by the resin frame portion 7B when engaged with the locking protrusions 25.

[0038] When attaching the resin frame portion 7B to the metal frame portion 7A, the resin frame portion 7B is arranged side by side on the longitudinal outside of the metal frame portion 7A without the multiple screws 26 attached to the recessed portions 20 of the metal frame portion 7A (without the multiple locking projections 25 provided on the metal frame portion 7A). Furthermore, on the end face of the metal frame portion 7A, the positions of the engaged portions 33, 34 of the resin frame portion 7B are aligned with the positions of the engaging portions 23, 24 of the metal frame portion 7A. In this state, the resin frame portion 7B is slid along the metal frame portion 7A in the longitudinal direction of the metal frame portion 7A until the resin frame portion 7B is overlapped with the metal frame portion 7A. This engages the engaged portions 33, 34 with the engaging portions 23, 24, and the resin frame portion 7B is attached to the metal frame portion 7A.

[0039] Next, the threaded portions 26A of the multiple screws 26 are screwed into the screw holes 20A of the recessed portions 20 of the metal frame portion 7A to attach the multiple threaded portions 26A to the recessed portions 20. At this time, the threaded portions 26A (locking protrusions 25) are placed in the recessed portions 37C (locked portions 35) of the locked pieces 37 of the resin frame portion 7B to lock the locked portions 35 with the locking protrusions 25. This attaches the resin frame portion 7B to the metal frame portion 7A.

[0040] The threaded portion 26A of the screw 26 is threaded into the screw hole 20A of the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A and is inserted through the recessed portion 37C of the locked piece 37 of the resin frame portion 7B. At this time, the threads of the threaded portion 26A are inserted through the recessed portion 37C while forming a thread in the locked piece 37 at the recessed portion 37C. As a result, the threads of the threaded portion 26A bite into the locked piece 37 and the locked portion 35 at the recessed portion 37C and come into contact with the locked piece 37 and the locked portion 35.

[0041] Alternatively, the resin frame portion 7B may be attached to the metal frame portion 7A by pressing it against the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A. In this case, with multiple screws 26 attached to the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A (with multiple locking protrusions 25 provided on the metal frame portion 7A), the first engaged portion 33 of the resin frame portion 7B is pressed against the first engaging portion 23 of the metal frame portion 7A. Next, the interior-side end of the resin frame portion 7B is moved from a position spaced apart from the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A toward the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A. As the resin frame portion 7B moves, the resin frame portion 7B is rotated around the first engaged portion 33, and the second engaged portion 34 of the resin frame portion 7B is pressed against the second engaging portion 24 of the metal frame portion 7A.

[0042] By rotating the resin frame portion 7B, the engaged portions 33, 34 engage with the engaging portions 23, 24, and the resin frame portion 7B is attached to the metal frame portion 7A. At the same time, the threaded portion 26A (locking protrusion 25) of the screw 26 is positioned in the recess 37C (locked portion 35) of the engaged piece 37 of the resin frame portion 7B, and the engaged portion 35 is locked with the locking protrusion 25. In this way, the resin frame portion 7B is attached to the metal frame portion 7A. Note that after the engaged portions 33, 34 are engaged with the engaging portions 23, 24, the threaded portion 26A may be attached to the recessed portion 20, and the engaged portion 35 may be locked with the locking protrusion 25.

[0043] Next, we will explain the second vertical door frame 8 of the door 1. Regarding the second vertical door frame 8, the components that correspond to the components of the first vertical door frame 7 will be given the same names as the components of the first vertical door frame 7. Furthermore, regarding the components of the second vertical door frame 8, explanations of the same aspects as the components of the first vertical door frame 7 will be omitted, and the components that differ from the components of the first vertical door frame 7 will be mainly explained. FIG. 6 is a cross section showing the second vertical door frame 8 of the first embodiment, and shows a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second vertical door frame 8.

[0044] As shown in the figure, the metal frame portion 8A of the second vertical door frame 8 has a recessed portion 40, multiple protruding wall portions 41, 42 (first protruding wall portion 41, second protruding wall portion 42), multiple engaging portions 43, 44 (first engaging portion 43, second engaging portion 44), and multiple locking protrusions 45. Of the multiple protruding wall portions 41, 42, the second protruding wall portion 42 is a receiving piece that receives the second shoji screen 3 (see Figure 3). Of the multiple engaging portions 43, 44, the first engaging portion 43 is an engaging protrusion formed in a protruding shape. The first engaging portion 43 has a protruding piece 43A that protrudes toward the inside of the room, and the second engaging portion 44 has a protruding piece 44A that protrudes toward the outside of the room. The multiple locking protrusions 45 are threaded portions 46A of screws 46 that are threaded into the screw holes 40A.

[0045] The resin frame portion 8B of the second vertical door frame 8 has a projection portion 50, an opposing portion 51, a protruding wall portion 52, multiple engaged portions 53, 54 (first engaged portion 53, second engaged portion 54), multiple locked portions 55, and an locked piece 57. The projection portion 50 and the opposing portion 51 are the same part of the resin frame portion 8B, and are arranged along the projection direction R of the second vertical door frame 8, and are arranged opposite the second protruding wall portion 42 of the metal frame portion 8A in the projection direction R of the second vertical door frame 8. The locked piece 57 has a first protruding portion 57A and a second protruding portion 57B.

[0046] Of the multiple engaged portions 53, 54, the first engaged portion 53 is provided on the locked piece 57 (here, the second protruding portion 57B) and is the tip of the locked piece 57. The first engaged portion 53 is arranged on the indoor side of the protruding first engaging portion 43 of the metal frame portion 8A and detachably engages with the first engaging portion 43. The multiple engaged portions 55 of the resin frame portion 8B are recesses 57C formed in multiple locations on the locked piece 57 (here, the first protruding portion 57A and the second protruding portion 57B). The recesses 57C are recessed from the indoor side portion of the locked piece 57 toward the outdoor side and are open toward the indoor side.

[0047] The threaded portion 46A, which is the locking protrusion 45 of the metal frame portion 8A, is positioned within the recessed portion 57C, which is the locked portion 55 of the resin frame portion 8B, and fits into the recessed portion 57C. As a result, the multiple locked portions 55 of the resin frame portion 8B are caught on the corresponding locking protrusions 45 of the metal frame portion 8A and locked to the locking protrusions 45. The locking protrusions 45 restrict the locked portions 55 and the locked pieces 57 from being displaced to one side (here, the room side) in the projection direction R of the first vertical door frame 7. Furthermore, the locked piece 57 (here, the second protrusion 57B) and the first engaged portion 53 of the resin frame portion 8B are positioned between the first engaging portion 43 and the multiple locking protrusions 45 of the metal frame portion 8A in the projection direction R of the second vertical door frame 8. The locked piece 57 and the first engaged portion 53 are sandwiched between the first engaging portion 43 and the plurality of locking protrusions 45 and are held by the first engaging portion 43 and the plurality of locking protrusions 45 .

[0048] In the first embodiment described above, the resin frame portions 7B, 8B of the vertical door and window frames 7, 8 can be easily attached to the metal frame portions 7A, 8A by the engagement of the engaged portions 33, 34, 53, 54 with the engaging portions 23, 24, 43, 44 and the engagement of the locked portions 35, 55 with the locking projections 25, 45. Furthermore, rattle of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B can be suppressed, and the resin frame portions 7B, 8B can be prevented from coming off the metal frame portions 7A, 8A. By engaging the locked portions 35, 55 of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B with the locking projections 25, 45 of the metal frame portions 7A, 8A, the resin frame portions 7B, 8B can be restrained in the longitudinal direction. This allows for easy and reliable regulation of longitudinal expansion and contraction of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B due to temperature changes, and the longitudinal dimensions (lengths) of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B can be maintained.

[0049] The locking protrusions 25, 45 of the metal frame portions 7A, 8A and the locked portions 35, 55 of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B are shielded by the resin frame portions 7B, 8B. Furthermore, the locking protrusions 25, 45 and the locked portions 35, 55 are located between the recessed portions 20, 40 of the metal frame portions 7A, 8A and the opposing portions 31, 51 of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B. Therefore, the resin frame portions 7B, 8B prevent the locking protrusions 25, 45 of the metal frame portions 7A, 8A and the locked portions 35, 55 of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B from being exposed, thereby improving the design of the vertical door and window frames 7, 8.

[0050] The locking protrusions 25, 45 of the metal frame parts 7A, 8A are threaded parts 26A, 46A and are disposed in the recesses 37C, 57C of the locking pieces 37, 57 of the resin frame parts 7B, 8B. Therefore, the locking protrusions 25, 45 can be easily provided on the metal frame parts 7A, 8A, and the locking protrusions 25, 45 can easily hold the resin frame parts 7B, 8B via the locking pieces 37, 57. The threads of the threaded parts 26A, 46A bite into the locking pieces 37, 57 at the locations where the recesses 37C, 57C are formed, so that the locking pieces 37, 57 and the locking parts 35, 55 of the resin frame parts 7B, 8B can be securely held by the locking protrusions 25, 45, preventing rattling of the resin frame parts 7B, 8B.

[0051] In the second vertical door / window frame 8, the first engaged portion 53 of the resin frame portion 8B is provided on the locked piece 57. This allows the locked portion 55 and the first engaged portion 53 of the resin frame portion 8B to be provided on the common locked piece 57, simplifying the structure of the resin frame portion 8B. In addition, the locked piece 57 of the resin frame portion 8B can be firmly held to the metal frame portion 8A by the first engaging portion 43 and the multiple locking protrusions 45 of the metal frame portion 8A.

[0052] The threaded portions 26A, 46A of the locking projections 25, 45 may be in contact with the locking pieces 37, 57 and the locking portions 35, 55 at the locations where the recesses 37C, 57C are formed, or may be disposed within the recesses 37C, 57C without contacting the locking pieces 37, 57 and the locking portions 35, 55. The resin frame portions 7B, 8B may also be bonded to the metal frame portions 7A, 8A. In this case, the locking pieces 37, 57 of the resin frame portions 7B, 8B are bonded to the recessed portions 20, 40 of the metal frame portions 7A, 8A using, for example, double-sided tape or adhesive.

[0053] Next, vertical door frames 7 and 8 of other embodiments will be described. For the vertical door frames 7 and 8 of the second embodiment, explanation of the same matters as those in the vertical door frames 7 and 8 of the first embodiment will be omitted, and the following mainly describes the matters that differ from the vertical door frames 7 and 8 of the first embodiment. Furthermore, for the vertical door frames 7 and 8 of the second embodiment, the same names as those in the vertical door frames 7 and 8 of the first embodiment will be used for the components that correspond to those in the vertical door frames 7 and 8 of the first embodiment.

[0054] FIG. 7 is a cross section showing the first vertical door frame 7 of the second embodiment, and shows a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first vertical door frame 7. As shown in the drawings, in the first vertical door frame 7 of the second embodiment, the protruding wall portion 32, the second engaged portion 34, and the locked piece 37 of the resin frame portion 7B are different from those of the first vertical door frame 7 of the first embodiment. The protruding wall portion 32 of the resin frame portion 7B contacts the second engaging portion 24 of the metal frame portion 7A, and the protruding wall portion 32 and the second engaging portion 24 are arranged continuously in the sight direction S of the first vertical door frame 7.

[0055] The engaging piece 37 of the resin frame portion 7B is connected to the protruding wall portion 32 and protrudes from the protruding wall portion 32 toward the recessed portion 20 of the metal frame portion 7A. The second engaging portion 34 of the resin frame portion 7B is provided on the engaging piece 37 and protrudes from the engaging piece 37 toward the interior of the room. The engaging piece 37 and the second engaging portion 34 of the resin frame portion 7B are arranged between the second engaging portion 24 and the multiple locking protrusions 25 of the metal frame portion 7A in the recessed direction R of the first vertical door frame 7. The engaging piece 37 and the second engaging portion 34 are sandwiched between the second engaging portion 24 and the multiple locking protrusions 25 and are held by the second engaging portion 24 and the multiple locking protrusions 25.

[0056] FIG. 8 is a cross section showing the second vertical door frame 8 of the second embodiment, and shows a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second vertical door frame 8.
