Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a shutter device and a shutter device installation method. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there is known a shutter device that includes a three-sided shutter frame that is attached to a building and a shutter device main body that is attached to the shutter frame (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The three-sided shutter frame is configured with an upper horizontal member and a pair of vertical members, and is configured without a lower horizontal member. The three-sided shutter frame is attached to the exterior wall surface outside a window installed in an opening in a building. The pair of vertical members of the three-sided shutter frame are positioned above a lower reference surface such as a dirt floor surface or deck surface. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-51178 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When installing a three-sided shutter frame on a building at the construction site by assembling the upper horizontal and vertical members without pre-assembling them, it is necessary to install the vertical members by leaning them directly against the lower reference surface of the earthen floor or deck surface in order to eliminate the gap between the bottom end of the shutter frame's vertical members and the lower reference surface of the earthen floor or deck surface.This makes it difficult to install the upper horizontal members of a three-sided shutter frame first.

[0005] Furthermore, when a three-sided shutter frame is pre-assembled and then installed on-site, there is a risk of a gap forming between the bottom end of the vertical member and the lower reference surface, such as the earthen floor or deck surface, or that the bottom end of the vertical member may come into contact with the lower reference surface, such as the earthen floor or deck surface, and damage the lower reference surface when it is being placed. This makes it difficult to install a three-sided shutter frame.

[0006] The present disclosure aims to provide a shutter device and a shutter device installation method that can easily install a three-sided shutter frame. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present disclosure relates to a shutter device comprising a shutter frame attached to a building and framed on three sides by an upper horizontal member and a pair of vertical members, and a shutter device body attached to the shutter frame, wherein a cap is attached to the lower end of the vertical member so that the attachment position in the vertical direction can be adjusted.

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this specification, the horizontal direction in which the shutter cover 41 of the shutter device 1 extends is also referred to as the left-right direction X. In addition, in the indoor-outdoor direction of the window 120, Y1 shown in the drawings indicates the outdoor side, and Y2 indicates the indoor side. In FIG. 1, the front left side of the window 120 is the outdoor side Y1, and the rear right side of the window 120 is the indoor side Y2.

[0010] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the shutter device 1 of this embodiment is attached to the outdoor side Y1 of a window 120 installed in an opening 110 of a building 100. The shutter device 1 is mainly attached as an after-market attachment to the building 100 in which the window 120 is installed. For example, the shutter device 1 of this embodiment is attached during renovation. Note that the shutter device 1 is not limited to being attached as an after-market attachment to the building 100 in which the window 120 is installed. The shutter device 1 may also be attached at the same time as the window 120 is constructed.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 1, the window 120 of this embodiment is a sliding window in which two shoji screens 135, 135 are fitted inside a rectangular window frame 130 that is attached to the opening 110. As shown in Fig. 2, the window frame 130 is formed into a rectangular shape by an upper frame 131, a lower frame 132, and a pair of vertical frames 133, 133 on the left and right.

[0012] 3 and 4, a screen door 136 is fitted on the outdoor side Y1 of the shoji screens 135, 135 so as to be able to slide laterally. A deck 150 is installed below the window 120, facing the outdoor side Y1 of the window 120, such as a garden. In this embodiment, when the shutter device 1 is attached to a building 100 in which the window 120 is provided, the lower end of the vertical frame 22 of the shutter frame 2 is positioned above a deck surface 151 (lower reference surface), which is the upper surface of the deck 150 of the building 100.

[0013] The shutter device 1 is attached to the exterior wall surface 140 on the outside of the window 120 installed in the opening 110. The shutter device 1 of this embodiment is retrofitted to the outdoor side Y1 of the window 120, which is an existing window. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the shutter device 1 has a three-sided shutter frame 2, a shutter device main body 4 attached to the top of the shutter frame 2, and a pair of shutter guide rails 5, 5 (guide rails). The shutter frame 2 is arranged on the outdoor side Y1 of the window frame 130.

[0014] 2, the shutter frame 2 is formed by a three-sided framework of an upper frame 21 (upper horizontal member) and a pair of left and right vertical frames 22, 22 (vertical members). The upper frame 21 has an upper upper frame 211 (upper horizontal member) and a lower upper frame 212 (upper horizontal member).

[0015] The upper top frame 211 and the lower top frame 212 are arranged above the pair of vertical frames 22, 22. The upper top frame 211 extends horizontally, connecting the pair of vertical frames 22, 22 at the upper ends of the pair of vertical frames 22, 22. The lower top frame 212 is arranged slightly below and parallel to the upper top frame 211, and extends horizontally, connecting the pair of vertical frames 22, 22. The lower top frame 212 is also called a "lintel."

[0016] 3, the upper frame 21 (upper upper frame 211, lower upper frame 212) of the shutter frame 2 is positioned above the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 when the shutter device 1 is attached to the outer wall surface 140 outside the window 120 installed in the opening 110. In this embodiment, the lower upper frame 212 of the upper frame 21 of the shutter frame 2 is placed on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 of the window 120, and the shutter frame 2 is fixed to the outer wall surface 140 outside the window 120.

[0017] The upper frame 211, the lower frame 212 and the vertical frames 22, 22 are all made of extruded metal material such as aluminum. The shutter frame 2 is fixed to the outer wall surface 140 with screws.

[0018] The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the shutter frame 2 are larger than those of the window frame 130. Specifically, the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the shutter frame 2 are large enough to accommodate the entire window frame 130 inside. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, the left and right vertical frames 22 of the shutter frame 2 are positioned outside the left and right vertical frames 133, 133 of the window frame 130, respectively.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 3, the upper upper frame 211 and the lower upper frame 212 of the shutter frame 2 are each fixed to the outer wall surface 140 by a plurality of screws S1, S2. The multiple screws S1, S2 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction X of the upper upper frame 211 and the lower upper frame 212. As shown in Fig. 4, the left and right vertical frames 22, 22 of the shutter frame 2 are each fixed to the outer wall surface 140 by a plurality of screws S3. The multiple screws S3 are arranged at intervals along the up-down direction of the vertical frame 22.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 5, the vertical frame 22 has a C-shape when viewed from above that opens inward in the left-right direction X. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the vertical frame 22 has a side wall 221 that extends in the indoor-outdoor direction on the outside in the left-right direction X, an outdoor wall portion 222, and an indoor wall portion 223. The outdoor wall portion 222 is formed with a protruding piece 222a and a joint piece 222b.

[0021] 5 and 6, the protruding piece 222a protrudes from the inner end of the outdoor wall portion 222 in the left-right direction X toward the outdoor side Y1. The mating piece 222b protrudes in an L-shape from the outer end of the outdoor wall portion 222 in the left-right direction X toward the outdoor side Y1. A guide rail 5 (described later) is attached to the outdoor side wall portion 222 of the vertical frame 22 by the protruding piece 222a and the mating piece 222b.

[0022] 1 and 2, a bottom cap 3 (cap) is attached to the bottom end of the vertical frame 22. In this embodiment, the bottom cap 3 on one side (the front right side in FIGS. 1 and 2) provided at the bottom end of the vertical frame 22 on one side in the left-right direction X will be described, but the bottom cap 3 on the other side (the rear left side in FIGS. 1 and 2) provided at the bottom end of the vertical frame 22 on the other side in the left-right direction X also has the same configuration except for being bilaterally symmetrical. Therefore, the configuration of the bottom cap 3 on one side in the left-right direction X will be described in detail.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 5, the lower end cap 3 has a shape when viewed from above that conforms to the vertical frame 22 and is C-shaped and opens inward in the left-right direction X. As shown in Figs. 5 to 7, the lower end cap 3 has an indoor / outdoor extending portion 31, an outdoor horizontal extending portion 32, and an indoor horizontal extending portion 33.

[0024] 5 to 7, the indoor-outdoor extending portion 31 extends in the indoor-outdoor direction outside the left-right direction X of the shutter frame 2. The indoor-outdoor extending portion 31 has an inner extending wall portion 311, an outer extending wall portion 312, and an indoor-outdoor extending bottom panel 313.

[0025] The inner extending wall portion 311 and the outer extending wall portion 312 are both formed as walls of a predetermined height and extend in the indoor-outdoor direction. The inner extending wall portion 311 is disposed on the inside in the left-right direction X. The outer extending wall portion 312 is disposed on the outside of the inner extending wall portion 311 in the left-right direction X, separated from it with a gap therebetween. The indoor-outdoor direction-extending bottom panel 313 forms the bottom surface, is formed in a plate shape connecting the lower ends of the inner extending wall portion 311 and the outer extending wall portion 312, and extends in the indoor-outdoor direction.

[0026] When the lower end cap 3 is attached to the lower end of the vertical frame 22, the lower end of the outer side wall 221 in the left-right direction X of the vertical frame 22 is accommodated between the inner extending wall portion 311 and the outer extending wall portion 312. When the lower end of the outer side wall 221 in the left-right direction X of the vertical frame 22 is disposed between the inner extending wall portion 311 and the outer extending wall portion 312, the end face of the lower end of the outer side wall 221 in the left-right direction X of the vertical frame 22 is disposed opposite the indoor-outdoor extending bottom panel 313.

[0027] Two through holes 312a and a guide groove 312b are formed in the outer extending wall portion 312. The two through holes 312a are spaced apart in the indoor-outdoor direction and penetrate in the left-right direction X. When the lower end cap 3 is attached to the lower end of the vertical frame 22, screws S4 are inserted into two long through holes 221a formed in the lower end of the outer side wall 221 in the left-right direction X of the vertical frame 22 that is disposed between the inner extending wall portion 311 and the outer extending wall portion 312 and are disposed to pass through the two through holes 312a.

[0028] 6 and 7, the two long through holes 221a are arranged apart in the indoor-outdoor direction in the outer side wall 221 of the vertical frame 22 in the left-right direction X, and penetrate in the left-right direction X and extend a predetermined distance in the up-down direction. When the lower end cap 3 is attached to the lower end of the vertical frame 22, screws S4 inserted into two through holes 312a provided in the outer extending wall portion 312 of the lower end cap 3 are inserted into and positioned to pass through the two long through holes 221a.

[0029] The screw S4, which is disposed through the through hole 312a and the long through hole 221a, is screwed into the back plate member 314 disposed inside the side wall 221 of the vertical frame 22, which is disposed between the inner extending wall portion 311 and the outer extending wall portion 312, thereby fixing the bottom end cap 3 to the lower end of the vertical frame 22. When fixing the bottom end cap 3 to the lower end of the side wall 221 of the vertical frame 22, the long through hole 221a can be used to adjust the fixing position of the screw S4 in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the mounting position of the bottom end cap 3 in the vertical direction.

[0030] The guide groove 312b is formed penetrating in the left-right direction X in a portion of the outer extending wall portion 312 near the end on the indoor side Y2, and extends in a slit shape from top to bottom. A protruding plate 221b that protrudes from a portion of the side wall 221 of the vertical frame 22 near the end on the indoor side Y2 and extends in the vertical direction is arranged in the guide groove 312b. As a result, when adjusting the vertical position of the lower end cap 3 at the lower end of the vertical frame 22, the guide groove 312b guides the vertical movement of the protruding plate 221b, thereby guiding the vertical movement of the lower end cap 3.

[0031] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the outdoor-side horizontal extending portion 32 has an outdoor-side wall portion 321, an outdoor-side bottom panel 322, and an end vertical wall portion 323. The outdoor-side wall portion 321 is formed in a wall shape of a predetermined height, and extends a predetermined length inward in the left-right direction X from an end portion on the outdoor-side Y1 of the inner-extending wall portion 311 of the indoor-outdoor-direction extending portion 31. The outdoor bottom panel 322 forms the bottom surface, and protrudes a predetermined width from the lower end portion of the outdoor-side wall portion 321 toward the outdoor side Y1. The end vertical wall portion 323 is formed in a wall shape of the same height as the outdoor-side wall portion 321, and protrudes a predetermined width from the inner end portion of the outdoor-side wall portion 321 in the left-right direction X toward the outdoor side Y1.

[0032] When the lower end cap 3 is attached to the lower end of the vertical frame 22, the outdoor wall portion 321 is arranged along the inner surface (the surface facing the indoor side Y2) of the outdoor wall portion 222 of the vertical frame 22. The end vertical wall portion 323 is arranged along the inner part in the left-right direction X of the protruding piece 222a formed on the inner end portion in the left-right direction X of the outdoor wall portion 222 of the vertical frame 22. The outdoor bottom panel 322 is arranged opposite the lower side of the end surface of the lower end portion of the outdoor wall portion 222 of the vertical frame 22.

[0033] The indoor-side horizontally extending portion 33 has an indoor-side wall portion 331, an indoor-side bottom panel 332, and an end vertical wall portion 333. The indoor-side wall portion 331 is formed in a wall shape of a predetermined height, and extends a predetermined length inward in the left-right direction X from an end portion on the indoor side Y2 of the indoor-side extending wall portion 311 of the indoor-outdoor direction extending portion 31. The indoor-side bottom panel 332 forms the bottom surface, and protrudes a predetermined width from the lower end portion of the indoor-side wall portion 331 toward the indoor side Y2. The end vertical wall portion 333 is formed in a wall shape of the same height as the indoor-side wall portion 331, and protrudes a predetermined width from the inner end portion of the indoor-side wall portion 331 in the left-right direction X toward the indoor side Y2.

[0034] When the lower end cap 3 is attached to the lower end of the vertical frame 22, the indoor side wall portion 331 is arranged along the inner surface (the surface facing the outdoor side Y1) of the indoor side wall portion 223 of the vertical frame 22. The end vertical wall portion 333 is arranged along the inner part in the left-right direction X of the inner end portion in the left-right direction X of the indoor side wall portion 223 of the vertical frame 22. The indoor side bottom panel 332 is arranged opposite the lower side of the end surface of the lower end portion of the indoor side wall portion 223 on the indoor side Y2 of the vertical frame 22.

[0035] The bottom cap 3 configured as described above is fixed by inserting a screw S4 into the through hole 312a when the bottom cap 3 is attached to the lower end of the vertical frame 22, passing the screw S4 through the through hole 312a and the long through hole 221a of the vertical frame 22, and then screwing the screw S4 into the back plate member 314. When fixing with the screw S4, the vertical position of the bottom cap 3 can be adjusted by the vertical length of the long through hole 221a. In this embodiment, the vertical length of the long through hole 221a is set to a predetermined length, so that the vertical position of the bottom cap 3 can be adjusted within a range of, for example, 5 mm in the vertical direction.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the shutter device main body 4 has a horizontally elongated shutter cover 41 extending in the left-right direction X, and a shutter curtain 42 housed inside the shutter cover 41. The shutter curtain 42 is wound in a roll shape. The shutter curtain 42 is pulled out from the shutter cover 41.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 4, both ends of the shutter curtain 42 in the left-right direction X are engaged with shutter guide rails 5 attached to the sides of the vertical frames 22 of the shutter frame 2. The shutter curtain 42 opens and closes in the vertical direction by being guided by the pair of shutter guide rails 5.

[0038] The shutter guide rails 5, 5 guide the up and down movement of the shutter curtain 42 at both ends of the shutter curtain 42 in the left-right direction X. As shown in FIG. 4, the pair of shutter guide rails 5, 5 are arranged apart in the left-right direction X. The shutter guide rails 5, 5 extend in the up and down direction. The pair of shutter guide rails 5, 5 are each fixed to the side surfaces of the vertical frames 22 of the shutter frame 2 on the outdoor side Y1.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, each of the shutter guide rails 5, 5 has a guide member body 51 extending in the vertical direction, an upper end cap member 52 attached to the upper end of the guide member body 51, and a lower end cap member 53.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, the guide member main body 51 has a guide frame 511 that opens inward in the left-right direction X, and a mounting frame 512 that opens toward the indoor side Y2.

[0041] The end of the shutter curtain 42 in the left-right direction X is disposed on the guide frame 511. The shutter guide rails 5, 5 guide the movement of the shutter curtain 42 in the up-down direction by the guide frame 511 guiding the end of the shutter curtain 42 in the left-right direction X.

[0042] The mounting frame 512 has a protruding plate 512a that protrudes from the surface of the guide frame 511 facing the indoor side Y2 toward the indoor side Y2, and an L-shaped frame 512b that is provided on the outer side of the guide frame 511 in the left-right direction X.

[0043] A hook-shaped mating portion 512c is provided at the tip of the L-shaped frame 512b. The mating portion 512c matings with a mating piece 222b formed on the end of the side wall 221 of the vertical frame 22 on the outdoor side Y1. When the mating portion 512c matings with the mating piece 222b of the vertical frame 22 and the guide rail 5 is attached to the vertical frame 22, the protruding plate 512a and the protruding piece 222a of the vertical frame 22 are fixed with screws S5.

[0044] When the shutter guide rails 5, 5 are attached to the vertical frame 22, the protruding plate 512a can move up and down along the protruding piece 222a of the vertical frame 22, and the mating portion 512c can move up and down along the mating piece 222b of the vertical frame 22. This allows the shutter guide rails 5, 5 to move up and down along the side surface of the vertical frame 22 on the outside side Y1, making the attachment position in the up and down direction adjustable. The shutter guide rails 5, 5 are fixed to the side surface of the vertical member 22 after their attachment positions in the up and down direction are adjusted.

[0045] Next, a procedure for attaching the shutter device 1 according to this embodiment to the exterior wall surface 140 on the outside of the window 120 installed in the building 100 will be described. In this embodiment, a case where a pre-assembled three-sided shutter frame 2 is attached to the exterior wall surface 140 of the building 100 will be described.

[0046] First, a pre-assembled three-sided shutter frame 2 is prepared in advance. Then, the pre-assembled three-sided shutter frame 2 is attached to the exterior wall surface 140 on the outside of the window 120 installed in the opening 110 of the building 100. As shown in FIG. 8 , the shutter frame 2 is temporarily fixed in a state where it is framed in a three-sided manner, that is, the lower upper frame 212 of the pre-assembled three-sided shutter frame 2 is hooked onto the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130. Note that the means for temporarily fixing the three-sided shutter frame 2 is not limited to this, and for example, the three-sided shutter frame 2 may be temporarily fixed by attaching it to the exterior wall surface 140 with adhesive tape or the like.

[0047] Then, with the shutter frame 2 temporarily fixed, the upper frame 21 (upper upper frame 211, lower upper frame 212) is fixed to the exterior wall surface 140 of the building 100 with screws S1 and S2 as shown in Figure 3, and a pair of vertical frames 22 are fixed to the exterior wall surface 140 of the building 100 with screws S3 as shown in Figure 4.

[0048] In this embodiment, the shutter frame 2 can be temporarily fixed by hooking it onto the upper surface of the upper frame 131 while it is assembled in a three-sided manner, making it easy to install the shutter frame 2. The three-sided shutter frame 2 can be easily installed even by one person.

[0049] 8, in this embodiment, the setting block 61 can be placed on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 and hooked onto the upper surface of the upper frame 131 to temporarily fix it. As a result, even if the shape of the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 does not allow the lower upper frame 212 of the shutter frame 2 to be placed thereon, by placing the setting block 61 on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130, the lower upper frame 212 of the shutter frame 2 can be placed on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 that is to be placed in the building 100. Note that in this embodiment, the setting block 61 is placed on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130, but the present invention is not limited to this and the setting block 61 does not have to be placed on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130.

[0050] Next, the vertical attachment position of the lower end cap 3 is adjusted. As shown in FIG. 6, the screw S4 is loosened and the screw S4 inserted into the lower end cap 3 is moved vertically along the long through hole 221a, thereby adjusting the vertical attachment position of the lower end cap 3. Then, the screw S4 is tightened to fix it. This allows the gap between the deck surface 151 of the deck 150 of the building 100 and the lower end cap 3 to be adjusted.

[0051] 2, the pair of shutter guide rails 5, 5 are attached to the exterior side Y1 side of the vertical frame 22 of the shutter frame 2. In this case, when attaching the shutter guide rails 5, 5 to the vertical frame 22, the attachment positions of the shutter guide rails 5, 5 in the vertical direction are adjusted and the shutter guide rails 5, 5 are fixed to the side of the vertical member 22.

[0052] Next, the shutter device body 4 is placed across the upper upper frame 211 and the lower upper frame 212 of the shutter frame 2, and the shutter device body 4 is fixed. In this way, the shutter device 1 can be attached to the exterior wall surface 140 outside the window 120 attached to the building 100.

[0053] In this embodiment, the pre-assembled three-sided shutter frame 2 is attached to the exterior wall surface 140 of the building 100, but this is not limited to this. The upper horizontal members (upper frame 21, upper upper frame 211, lower upper frame 212) and a pair of vertical members (vertical frames 22) may be assembled at the construction site without pre-assembling the three-sided shutter frame 2. In this case, the pair of vertical members (vertical frames 22) may be attached after the upper horizontal members (upper frame 21, upper upper frame 211, lower upper frame 212) are attached at the construction site. Then, after the vertical members (vertical frames 22) are attached, the attachment position of the lower end cap 3 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, and the lower end cap 3 can be fixed.

[0054] According to this embodiment, the following effects are achieved: The shutter device 1 of this embodiment comprises a shutter frame 2 formed by a three-sided framework of an upper frame 21 and a pair of vertical frames 22, and a shutter device main body 4 attached to the shutter frame 2, and a lower end cap 3 attached to the lower end of the vertical frame 22, the attachment position of which can be adjusted in the vertical direction.

[0055] Therefore, when installing the three-sided assembled shutter frame 2 without pre-assembly, even if the upper frame 21 is installed first at the construction site and then the vertical frame 22 is installed, the vertical installation position of the bottom end cap 3 can be adjusted, preventing gaps from forming between the lower end of the vertical frame 22 and the deck surface 151 and scratches on the deck surface 151. This makes it easy to install the three-sided assembled shutter frame 2. Also, the cut surface of the lower end of the vertical frame 22 can be covered with the bottom end cap 3. This improves design and safety.

[0056] Furthermore, when installing the three-sided assembled shutter frame 2, even if the shutter frame 2 is installed in a pre-assembled state, the installation position of the bottom end cap 3 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, which prevents a gap from being created between the lower end of the vertical frame 22 and the deck surface 151 and prevents scratches on the deck surface 151. In addition, the cut surface of the lower end of the vertical frame 22 can be covered with the bottom end cap 3. This improves design and safety.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shutter guide rail 5 is configured so that its mounting position in the vertical direction can be adjusted, and is fixed to the side of the vertical frame 22. As a result, the shutter guide rail 5 is not fixed to the building 100, and therefore the shutter guide rail 5 can be easily removed during maintenance, thereby improving maintainability.

[0058] Furthermore, in the installation method for the shutter device 1, the shutter frame 2 is temporarily fixed by hooking it onto the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 to be placed in the building 100 while it is assembled in a three-sided manner, and then fixed to the building 100 while it is temporarily fixed. Therefore, since the shutter frame 2 can be temporarily fixed by hooking it onto the upper surface of the upper frame 131 while it is assembled in a three-sided manner, the shutter frame 2 can be easily installed. This allows the three-sided shutter frame 2 to be easily installed even by one person, thereby improving installability.

[0059] Furthermore, in the installation method for the shutter device 1, the shutter frame 2 is temporarily fixed by hooking it onto the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 with the setting block 61 placed on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130. Therefore, even if the shape of the upper surface of the upper frame 131 does not allow the lower upper frame 212 of the shutter frame 2 to be placed thereon, by placing the setting block 61 on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130, the lower upper frame 212 of the shutter frame 2 can be easily placed on the upper surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130. This improves installation efficiency.

[0060] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present disclosure.

[0061] 9, multiple hooking fittings 63 may be provided on the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 of the window 120, and when attaching the shutter frame 2 to the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 of the window 120, the shutter frame 2 may be assembled in a three-way state, and the lower upper frame 212 of the upper frame 21 of the shutter frame 2 may be hooked onto the hooking fittings 63 to attach it to the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130. The hooking fitting 63 is formed in a hook shape with an open upper side, and has a plate-like fixing plate 631 fixed to the exterior wall surface 140 with screws 63a, an extending mounting plate 632 extending from the lower end of the fixing plate 631 toward the outside side Y1, and a protruding plate 633 protruding upward from the end of the extending mounting plate 632 on the outside side Y1. As a result, even if the shape of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 is such that it is difficult to place the lower upper frame 212 of the upper frame 21 of the shutter frame 2, the lower upper frame 212 of the upper frame 21 can be placed on the extended placement plate 632 and hooked onto the protruding plate 633, thereby making it possible to easily attach the lower upper frame 212 of the upper frame 21 by hooking it onto the hook fitting 63.

[0062] Furthermore, when attaching the shutter frame 2 to the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 of the window 120 using multiple hooking metal fittings 63, the setting block 61 shown in FIG. 8 described in the above embodiment may also be used at the same time. In this case, with the setting block 61 placed on the top surface of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130, the lower upper frame 212 of the upper frame 21 of the shutter frame 2 is hooked onto the hooking metal fittings 63 provided on the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130, and the shutter frame 2 is attached to the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130. The hooking metal fittings 63 and setting block 61 are used when the shape of the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 makes it difficult to place the lower upper frame 212 of the upper frame 21 of the shutter frame 2. Using both the hooking metal fittings 63 and the setting block 61 makes it easier to attach the shutter frame 2 to the upper frame 131 of the window frame 130 of the window 120.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 10 , the shutter frame 2 may be attached to the building 100 with a spacer 62 positioned between the lower end of the vertical frame 22 and the deck surface 151 of the deck 150 of the building 100. After the shutter frame 2 is attached to the building 100, the spacer 62 may be removed. After removing the spacer 62, the vertical position of the lower end cap 3 may be adjusted. The thickness of the spacer 62 is preferably within the vertical adjustment range of the lower end cap 3. In this case, the three-sided shutter frame 2 may be pre-assembled or assembled on-site. By positioning the spacer 62, the lower end cap 3 can be positioned within the vertical adjustment range. This makes it possible to easily prevent gaps from forming between the lower end of the vertical frame 22 and the deck surface 151 and scratches on the deck surface 151 by adjusting the vertical position of the lower end cap 3. This improves ease of installation.

[0064] In addition, in the above embodiment, the upper frame 21 (upper vertical member) is configured by the upper upper frame 211 and the lower upper frame 212, but is not limited to this. The upper frame 21 (upper vertical member) may be configured by either the upper upper frame 211 or the lower upper frame 212. [Explanation of symbols]
