[0018] An eleventh feature is that the water stop device has a correspondence relationship display section on each of the water stop plate and the opening frame to which the water stop plate is to be attached, which shows the correspondence between the water stop plate and the opening frame (see Figures 1 to 3, 5, 6, etc.).

[0019] <First embodiment> Next, specific embodiments having the above-mentioned features will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a waterstop device to which an example of a waterstop correspondence identification method according to the present invention is applied. This water stop device is composed of an opening frame 10 of a fitting device 1 already installed in a structure such as a building or an underground passage, and a water stop plate 30 that is removably attached to the opening frame 10 so as to block an opening A in the opening frame 10.

[0020] The fitting device 1 is a hinged door having an opening frame 10 with an opening A at the center and an opening / closing body 20 supported so as to rotate between a closed position in which the opening A is closed and an open position in which the opening A is open.

[0021] The opening frame 10 comprises a door-front side frame member 11 facing the door front portion of the opening / closing body 20 in the closed state, a door-tail side frame member 12 facing the door tail portion of the opening / closing body 20, an upper side frame member 13 facing the upper end portion of the opening / closing body 20, and a lower side frame member 14 facing the lower end portion of the opening / closing body 20, and is configured as a rectangular frame when viewed from the front, surrounding a central opening A. This opening frame 10 is fixed to an opening in a structure in which the fitting device 1 is to be installed.

[0022] The inner frame surface of each frame member 11, 12, 13, or 14 that constitutes the opening frame 10 is formed in a stepped shape that narrows the opening A toward the indoor side. The surface of this stepped portion facing the outdoors functions as a door stop portion 10a that receives the opening / closing body 20 when the door is fully closed. An airtight material (not shown) made of an elastic material is provided on the door stop portion 10a as needed. This airtight material closes the gap between the opening / closing body 20 and the opening frame 10 by being pressed by the opening / closing body 20 when it is closed.

[0023] A strike 11a having recesses for fitting and disengaging a deadbolt 25, latch 24, etc. is provided on the inner surface of the door-end side frame member 11 (in other words, the surface on the opening A side) on the outdoor side of the door stop portion 10a.

[0024] The opening / closing body 20 is configured as a rectangular shape when viewed from the front with a predetermined thickness, with two outer panels 21 spaced apart in the thickness direction and supported by an inner core material and framework (not shown), and is sometimes called a door or a door. The surface of the opening / closing body 20 on the door front side is provided with a doorknob 22, a cylinder (not shown) for inserting and removing the key, a thumb turn 23, etc., and the door front part of the opening / closing body 20 is provided with a latch 24 that extends and retracts when the doorknob 22 is operated, and a deadbolt 25 that extends and retracts when the key or thumb turn is operated.

[0025] The trailing edge portion of the opening / closing body 20 is rotatably connected to the trailing edge frame member 12 via a hinge (not shown). The hinge is a member that serves as a pivot point for the opening / closing body 20, and may be a well-known flat hinge, flag hinge, pivot hinge, or the like. When fully closed, the opening / closing body 20 fits into a wide portion of the opening frame 10 on the front side (outdoor side) of the door stop portion 10a, and the peripheral edge side of the back surface is pressed against the door stop portion 10a.

[0026] The water stop plate 30 is integrally formed from a main body plate portion 31, flange portions 32 protruding from the left and right ends and the lower end of the main body plate portion 31, and a plurality of handle portions 33 provided at the upper end of the main body plate portion 31.

[0027] The main body plate 31 is formed in a rectangular plate shape that fits into the portion of the opening frame 10 that is closer to the interior than the door stop portion 10a. The left and right ends and the bottom end of this main body plate 31 are provided with elastic watertight materials 31a that are watertightly pressed against the inner surface of the opening frame 10 that is further back than the door stop portion 10a. When the waterstop 30 is attached to the opening frame 10, the main body plate portion 31 fits into a narrow portion of the opening frame 10 on the rear side (indoor side) of the door stop portion 10a.

[0028] The flange portion 32 protrudes so as to come into contact with the door stop portion 10a when the main body plate portion 31 is fitted into the narrow portion of the opening frame 10.

[0029] The handle portion 33 is a portion to be gripped when lifting the waterstop 30 by hand, and is formed in a ring shape that can be held by hand.

[0030] When the water level rises, the water stop plate 30 having the above-described configuration is fitted inside the opening frame 10 near the indoor side, and the opening / closing body 20 in the closed position is fitted inside the opening frame 10 near the outdoor side.

[0031] The fitting device 1 having the above configuration is installed in each of a plurality of openings in a building, an underground passage, etc., and the width of the opening frame 10 varies depending on the width of the opening. Therefore, the plurality of water stops 30 installed in each opening frame 10 also vary in width. These plurality of water stops 30 with different widths are stored in a location away from the fitting device 1 under normal circumstances except when flooding occurs.

[0032] For this reason, in the waterstop correspondence identification method according to the present invention, a correspondence display unit that displays the correspondence between each opening frame 10 and the waterstop 30 that corresponds to the opening frame 10 is provided. A waterstop correspondence identification sheet, which will be described later, is used for this operation.

[0033] FIG. 4 shows an example of the waterstop correspondence identification sheet according to the present invention. This waterstop correspondence identification sheet 40 comprises an adhesive sheet 41 having an adhesive layer (not shown) on the back surface thereof, and a backing sheet 42 removably adhered to the back surface of the adhesive sheet 41.

[0034] The adhesive sheet 41 is a sheet on which the corresponding relationship display section, instructions for use, etc. are printed, and the surface is laminated with a transparent waterproof material, and an adhesive is provided on the back surface. The adhesive sheet 41 has a plurality of pairs of separable correspondence relationship display stickers 41a, 41b (41a', 41b'). Each of the correspondence relationship display stickers 41a, 41b (41a', 41b') is located inside an annular cut formed in the adhesive sheet 41. Furthermore, the adhesive sheet 41 has an indication 41c that shows how to use the corresponding relationship indication stickers 41a and 41b (41a' and 41b') in an area separate from the corresponding relationship indication stickers 41a and 41b (41a' and 41b'). As another example of adhesive sheet 41, the above-mentioned indications may be printed directly on a waterproof sheet, and an adhesive material (including adhesive tape and glue) may be provided on the back surface.

[0035] The pair of correspondence display stickers 41a, 41b are two adhesive stickers that display designs or letters as the correspondence display portions. According to the illustrated example, one waterstop correspondence identification sheet 40 is provided with multiple pairs of correspondence display stickers 41a, 41b with different designs. According to the example shown in FIG. 4, one of the pair of correspondence display stickers 41a and 41b has the same design and characters.

[0036] The other pair of correspondence display stickers 41a', 41b' each have a space x1 for writing the installation location. On the adhesive sheet 41, a text display x2 instructing the user to write the installation location is provided near each of the correspondence display stickers 41a' or 41b'.

[0037] To be more specific, the display 41c indicating the method of use may be, as illustrated in Figure 4, a display of text encouraging the use of correspondence display stickers 41a and 41b to pair the opening frame 10 and the water stop 30, or a display of a diagram showing the position where the correspondence display stickers 41a and 41b are attached to the opening frame 10 and the water stop 30.

[0038] The backing sheet 42 is a release sheet having an area equal to or larger than the waterstop correspondence identification sheet 40 .

[0039] One of the pair of correspondence display stickers 41a, 41b to be peeled off from the waterstop correspondence identification sheet 40 configured as described above is attached to the opening frame 10, and the other is attached to the waterstop 30. The position of this attachment is preferably a position where the correspondence display stickers 41a, 41b as the correspondence display portion are not hidden by the water stop plate 30 attached to the opening frame 10.

[0040] The correspondence display stickers 41a and 41b are preferably placed near the intersection between the inner surface of the opening frame 10 and the upper end surface of the waterstop 30 attached to the opening frame 10. These correspondence display stickers 41a and 41b are more preferably placed in a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight, such as indoors or under an eave, to prevent deterioration due to ultraviolet rays and the like. To explain in detail the example shown in Figures 1 to 3, one of the correspondence relationship display stickers 41a (correspondence relationship display portion) is located on the indoor side of the door stop portion 10a on the inner surface of the opening frame 10 (more specifically, the door front side frame member 11) and slightly above the strike 11a (see Figures 1 to 3). The other correspondence display sticker 41b is located on the upper end surface of the waterstop 30, near the end on the door-end frame member 11 side.

[0041] Therefore, according to the above-described waterstop correspondence identification method, in the event of flooding or the like, the correspondence between the opening frames 10 and the waterstops 30 can be easily recognized by comparing the correspondence display sticker 41a (correspondence display portion) provided on the opening frame 10 with the correspondence display sticker 41b (correspondence display portion) provided on the waterstops 30. Therefore, even if the waterstops 30 are stored in a location away from the opening frames 10, for example, the waterstops 30 corresponding to each opening frame 10 can be quickly found.

[0042] 1 to 3, the pair of correspondence display stickers 41a, 41b can be visually recognized when the waterstop 30 is attached to the opening frame 10. Therefore, for example, if a waterstop 30 that is too narrow is attached to the opening frame 10, the incompatibility can be quickly recognized.

[0043] <Second embodiment> Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. Note that the aspects described below are partial modifications of the above-described embodiments, so the modifications will be mainly described in detail, and common parts will be assigned the same reference numerals and detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0044] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the position of the corresponding relationship display sticker 41a on the opening frame 10 side is changed from that of the embodiment shown in FIG. More specifically, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, one of the correspondence display stickers 41a is provided on the inner surface of the opening frame 10, closer to the exterior than the door stop portion 10a. According to this other example, the correspondence display sticker 41a (correspondence display portion) is not visible when the opening / closing body 20 is closed, but is visible when the opening / closing body 20 is open. In other words, the correspondence display sticker 41a is not always visible during normal use other than when the water level is high, which reduces the possibility of impairing the design of the fitting device 1.

[0045] <Third embodiment> In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the correspondence display stickers 41a and 41b of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are replaced with correspondence display stickers 41a' and 41b', and the positions of the stickers are changed.

[0046] The correspondence display stickers 41a' and 41b' (correspondence display portions) are provided on the inner surface of the opening frame 10 and the upper end surface of the waterstop 30, respectively. One correspondence display sticker 41a' and the other correspondence display sticker 41b' are correspondence display parts with different designs, and are provided on both sides of the intersection p (more specifically, the elastic watertight material 31a) between the inner surface of the opening frame 10 and the upper end surface of the waterstop 30. These two correspondence display stickers 41a' and 41b' constitute one part and the other part of an integrated display (characters, figures, patterns, etc.).

[0047] One of the correspondence relationship display stickers 41a' has a rectangular outline, as shown in Figure 7, and displays a portion of the integrated display (in the illustrated example, a semicircular portion that is one half of a circular shape) along its bottom side. The other correspondence relationship display sticker 41b' has a rectangular outline, and displays the other portion of the integrated display (in the illustrated example, a semicircular portion that is the other half of a circular shape) along its top side. The integrated display can be something other than the illustrated example, such as letters, symbols, or other patterns.

[0048] One of the correspondence relationship display stickers 41a' is attached to the inside surface of the door-end frame member 11 with its lower edge aligned with the intersection part p. The other correspondence relationship display sticker 41b' is attached to the upper end surface of the waterstop 30 with its upper edge aligned with the elastic watertight material 31a that contacts the intersection part p.

[0049] Therefore, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to intuitively determine whether the waterstop 30 is compatible with the opening frame 10 by visual inspection.

[0050] <Other variations> The position of the above-mentioned correspondence display sticker (correspondence display portion) on the opening frame 10 side is not limited to the above embodiment, and as an example other than the illustrated example, the correspondence display sticker 41a can also be provided on the door stop portion 10a, the underside of the upper frame member 13, the upper surface of the lower frame member 14, the door leading surface or door trailing surface of the opening / closing body 20, etc.

[0051] Similarly, the position of the above-mentioned correspondence display sticker (correspondence display portion) on the water stop plate 30 side is not limited to the above embodiment, and as an example other than the illustrated example, the correspondence display sticker 41b can also be provided on the surface of the flange portion 32, the surface or back of the main plate portion 31, or other parts, etc.

[0052] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, the correspondence display unit is a different figure for each water stop device (opening frame 10 and water stop plate 30), but other examples of the correspondence display unit include a different letter for each water stop device, a display unit of a different color for each water stop device, or a different figure, letter, pattern, color, or combination of these other than the illustrated example that is different for each water stop device.

[0053] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, a particularly preferred embodiment is that the correspondence display portion is displayed by the correspondence display sticker, but other examples of the correspondence display portion include a display printed directly on the opening frame 10 or the water stop plate 30, or an engraving directly on the opening frame 10 or the water stop plate 30.

[0054] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, the water stopping device A is constructed using an existing opening frame 10, but as another example of the water stopping device, it is also possible to provide a water stopping plate on a newly installed opening frame.

[0055] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the fitting device 1 is a hinged door, but the fitting device to which the waterstop correspondence identification method of the present invention can be applied may be any fitting device that has an opening frame with an opening in the center, and may be, for example, a sliding door, folding door, balance door, window sash, etc.

[0056] In the illustrated example, the correspondence relationship display stickers 41a, 41b, 41a', 41b' are displayed in the form of shapes such as circles and triangles to make them easy to see even in dark places, but these correspondence relationship display stickers can also be displayed in the form of letters, symbols, or other displays other than those shown in the illustrations.

[0057] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
