The vertical middle of the vertical frames 16, 17 and the vertical middle of the mullions 18 are connected to the intermediate frames 13, 14. The lower ends of the vertical frames 16, 17 and the lower ends of the mullions 18 are connected to the lower frame 12.

[0012] When the outdoor shutter 2A and the indoor shutter 2B are in the closed state, they are arranged in the opening formed by the lower frame 12, the intermediate frame 14, the vertical frame 17, and the corner post 18. A side glass panel 81 is provided in the space formed by the lower frame 12, the intermediate frame 13, the vertical frame 16, and the corner post 18. The outdoor shutter 2A and the indoor shutter 2B are slidable on the side of the side glass panel 81. As shown in FIG. 4, when the outdoor shutter 2A and the indoor shutter 2B are in the open state, they are arranged on the indoor side of the side glass panel 81. A wall portion may be provided in the space formed by the lower frame 12, the intermediate frame 13, the vertical frame 16, and the corner post 18.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, a first upper glass panel 82 is provided in the space formed by the upper frame 11, the intermediate frame 13, the upper part of the vertical frame 16, and the upper part of the corner post 18. A second upper glass panel 83 is provided in the space formed by the upper frame 11, the intermediate frame 14, the upper part of the vertical frame 17, and the upper part of the corner post 18. The frame body is formed up to the height of the shutter 2, and the first upper glass panel 82 and the second upper glass panel 83 may not be provided.

[0014] The shutter 2 has a frame body 20 and a glass panel 29. The frame body 20 has an upper frame 21 (see FIG. 2), a lower frame 22 (see FIG. 2), and a pair of vertical frames 23, 23.

[0015] The upper frame 21 and the lower frame 22 extend in the width direction. The vertical frame 23 extends in the vertical direction. The upper end portions of the pair of vertical frames 23, 23 are connected to the upper frame 21. The lower end portions of the pair of vertical frames 23, 23 are connected to the lower frame 22.

[0016] The glass panel 29 is housed inside the frame body 20 formed in a square frame shape. The glass panel 29 is formed of tempered glass. The glass panel 29 corresponds to the panel material of the claims. As the panel material, ordinary plate glass, resin-made plate material, etc. can be adopted.

[0017] [[ID=二十一]] As shown in Figure 2, the roller 21a provided on the upper frame 21 is supported so as to be slidable in the width direction on the rail 13a attached to the intermediate frames 13 and 14. The shoji screen 2 is a top-hung single sliding door.

[0018] The outdoor sliding door 2A and the indoor sliding door 2B open and close in conjunction with each other via an interlocking mechanism 27, such that the outdoor sliding door 2A follows the movement of the indoor sliding door 2B. The interlocking mechanism 27 has an interlocking member 27A attached to the bottom frame 22 of the outdoor sliding door 2A. A backing plate 272 is attached to the inside of the bottom frame 22 by screws 271. The interlocking member 27A is attached to the backing plate 272 by screws 273 from a recess that is recessed from the indoor side of the interlocking member 27A. As shown in Figure 3, a cushioning material 275 is provided on the surface of the interlocking member 27A that faces the indoor sliding door 2B. When the indoor sliding door 2B moves in the opening direction, the vertical frame 23 on the tail end side of the indoor sliding door 2B hits the cushioning material 275 of the outdoor sliding door 2A. As a result, the outdoor sliding door 2A is pushed by the indoor sliding door 2B, and the outdoor sliding door 2A also opens. A door stopper member 28, having the same configuration as the interlocking member 27A, is attached to the lower frame 12 of the door pocket section. As shown in Figure 4, when the vertical frame 23 on the tail end side of the outdoor side sash 2A hits the cushioning material 275 of the door stopper member 28, the movement of the outdoor side sash 2A and the indoor side sash 2B in the opening direction is restricted.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, in the indoor shoji screen 2B, a vertical frame with a handle 24 is provided in place of the door-side vertical frame 23A, which is located on the door-side of the pair of vertical frames 23, 23, in the middle of the vertical direction. In the indoor shoji screen 2B, on the door-side of the pair of vertical frames 23, 23, the vertical frame 23 may not be provided, and instead, a vertical frame with a handle 24 may be provided along substantially the entire vertical length. The vertical frame with a handle 24 corresponds to the vertical member of the claim.

[0020] As shown in Figure 5, the vertical frame 24 with handles has a vertical frame section 25 and handle sections 26, 26 provided on both the indoor and outdoor sides. The vertical frame section 25 and the handle sections 26, 26 are integrally formed. The vertical frame section 25 and the handle sections 26 are integrally molded from an aluminum profile.

[0021] The vertical frame portion 25 has a base portion 251, recessed wall portions 252, 252 on both the indoor and outdoor sides, and extending wall portions 253, 253 on both the indoor and outdoor sides. The base portion 251 is arranged along the end face 29a of the glass panel 29. The base portion 251 is formed in a flat plate shape. The plate surface of the base portion 251 is oriented in the width direction. The recessed wall portions 252 are connected to both ends of the base portion 251 in the indoor / outdoor direction, and the inner surface of the recessed wall portion 252 in the width direction is recessed outward in the width direction. The extending wall portions 253 extend inward in the width direction from the outer ends of the recessed wall portion 252 in the indoor / outdoor direction.

[0022] Glass grooves 31 are formed on the inner edges of the substrate portion 251, the recessed wall portion 252, and the extension wall portion 253, which face inward in the width direction. The glass grooves 31 correspond to the panel grooves of the claims.

[0023] The end face 29a of the glass panel 29 is positioned at the center of the glass groove 31 in the indoor-outdoor direction. At both outer ends of the substrate portion 251 in the indoor-outdoor direction, there are retaining edge locking pieces 255 that protrude outward in the indoor-outdoor direction. A retaining edge 41 is provided along the inward-facing surfaces in the width direction of the recessed wall portion 252 and the extended wall portion 253. The retaining edge 41 is formed in an annular shape in a horizontal cross-sectional view. The inward-facing surface 41b of the retaining edge 41 in the indoor-outdoor direction is in contact with the sealing material 30. The locking piece 41a of the retaining edge 41 is locked to the retaining edge locking piece 255. The retaining edge 41 supports the glass panel 29 via the sealing material 30. The vertical frame portion 25 and the retaining edge 41 correspond to the panel holding portion of the claim. The vertical frame portion 25 corresponds to at least a part of the panel holding portion of the claim.

[0024] The handle portion 26 protrudes outward in the indoor / outdoor direction from the inner end in the width direction of the extended wall portion 253. The handle portion 26 is formed in a plate shape. The plate surface of the handle portion 26 is oriented in the width direction. The user can grip the handle portion 26 in the width direction. A projection 261 is provided at the outer end of the handle portion 26 in the indoor / outdoor direction, which protrudes outward in the width direction.

[0025] The surface 26b of the handle portion 26 that faces outward in the width direction is set back inward in the width direction compared to the surface 25a of the vertical frame portion 25 that faces outward in the width direction.

[0026] The width W1 from the surface 25a of the vertical frame portion 25 to the surface 26a of the handle portion 26 facing inward in the width direction is preferably 10 mm to 40 mm.

[0027] A cushioning material recess 257 is formed on the surface 25a of the vertical frame portion 25, recessing inward in the width direction. The opening edge of the cushioning material recess 257 is engaged with a projection 37b provided on the mounting portion 32a of the cushioning material 32. The cushioning material 32 protrudes outward in the width direction from the surface 25a of the vertical frame portion 25.

[0028] As shown in Figure 4, with the outdoor sash 2A and the indoor sash 2B open, the effective opening width W11 is defined as the distance from the cushioning material 32 of the vertical frame 24 with a handle to the cushioning material 17a provided on the vertical frame 17. Since the width W1 of the vertical frame 25 is kept short at 10mm to 40mm, a wide effective opening width W11 can be secured.

[0029] In the joinery 100 configured in this way, the handle portion 26 of the vertical frame 24 with a handle is integrally formed with the vertical frame portion 25. Since there is no need to provide reinforcement or the like on the vertical frame to attach the handle, the vertical frame 24 with a handle can be made compact, and a wide effective opening width W11 can be secured when the shoji screen 2 is opened. The compact configuration of the vertical frame 24 with a handle improves the aesthetic appeal.

[0030] The handle portion 26 protrudes from the vertical frame portion 25 both on the outdoor and indoor sides. By making the handle portion 26 compact on both the indoor and outdoor sides, the design aesthetics on both sides are improved. Users can open and close the sliding door 2 by gripping the handle portion 26 from both the indoor and outdoor sides.

[0031] By integrally forming the handle portion 26 with the vertical frame portion 25, rather than making the handle and vertical frame separate components, the number of parts can be reduced. The installation work required to attach the handle to the vertical frame can also be reduced.

[0032] If the width of the vertical frame is short, the strength to hold the glass panel will be low, but in the joinery 100, the glass panel 29 is made of tempered glass that is resistant to cracking even when bent, so damage to the glass panel 29 can be suppressed.

[0033] Since the width W1 from the surface 25a of the vertical frame 25 to the surface 26a of the handle 26 of the vertical frame 24 with a handle is 10mm to 40mm, the vertical frame 24 with a handle has a slim design and its aesthetic appeal is further enhanced.

[0034] (Second embodiment) The joinery according to the second embodiment will be described mainly with reference to Figures 6 to 8. In the embodiments and modified examples described below, components corresponding to the embodiments shown above may be denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions may be omitted.

[0035] As shown in Figure 6, the door 100A is a sliding door that is opened manually by moving two sliding doors 2C to both sides in the width direction. The door 100A comprises a frame 1A and two sliding doors 2C, 2C. In the frame 1A, two mullions 18 are positioned between the vertical frame 16 and the vertical frame 17.

[0036] The configuration of the shoji screen 2C is the same as that of the indoor shoji screen 2B of the joinery 100. The shoji screen 2C on the right side when viewed from the indoor side is configured by reversing the width of the shoji screen C on the left side. When the two shoji screens 2C are closed, the vertical frame 24 with handles is positioned with its surfaces 26a facing each other.

[0037] In the door 100A configured in this way, the handle portion 26 of the vertical frame 24 with a handle is integrally formed with the vertical frame portion 25. Since there is no need to provide reinforcement or the like on the vertical frame to attach the handle, the vertical frame 24 with a handle can be made compact, and a wide effective opening width W11 can be secured when the shoji screen 2 is opened. The compact configuration of the vertical frame 24 with a handle improves the aesthetic appeal.

[0038] The outward-facing surface 26b of the handle portion 26 in the width direction is set back inward in the width direction compared to the surface 25a of the vertical frame portion 25. When the shoji screens 2C are closed, a space S (see Figure 8) is formed between the handle portions 26 of adjacent shoji screens 2C, allowing the user to reach into the space S, grasp the handle portion 26, and open the shoji screens 2C.

[0039] (Third embodiment) The joinery according to the third embodiment will be described mainly with reference to Figure 9. As shown in Figure 9, the vertical frame 25B is constructed separately from the handle portion 26B. The handle portion 26B is integrally formed with the trim portion 41B. The trim with handle 24B has the trim portion 41B and the handle portion 26B. The trim with handle 24B is provided on both the indoor and outdoor sides. The trim portion 41B and the handle portion 26B are integrally molded from an aluminum profile. The trim with handle 24B corresponds to the vertical member of the claim.

[0040] The vertical frame 25B is positioned along the end face 29a of the glass panel 29. On both sides of the vertical frame 25B in the indoor / outdoor direction, mounting recesses 241 are formed on the surface facing inward in the width direction, recessed outward in the width direction. On both sides of the vertical frame 25B in the indoor / outdoor direction, screw mounting portions 242 are formed on the surface facing outward in the width direction, recessed inward in the width direction.

[0041] The trim portion 41B is formed in an annular shape in a horizontal cross-sectional view. The inner surface 41b of the trim portion 41B facing in the indoor / outdoor direction is in contact with the sealing material 30. The locking piece 41a of the trim portion 41B is locked to the trim locking piece 255 of the vertical frame 25B. A screw 254 is inserted through the screw mounting portion 242 and screwed into the trim portion 41B located in the mounting recess 241. The trim portion 41B supports the glass panel 29 via the sealing material 30. The vertical frame 25B and the trim portion 41B correspond to the panel holding portion of the claim. The trim portion 41B corresponds to at least a part of the panel holding portion of the claim.

[0042] A glass groove 31B is formed on the inner edge of the trim portion 41B of the vertical frame 25B and the trim with handle 24B. The glass groove 31B corresponds to the panel groove of the claim.

[0043] The handle portion 26B protrudes outward in the indoor / outdoor direction from the inner end in the width direction of the trim portion 41B. The handle portion 26B is formed in a plate shape. The plate surface of the handle portion 26B faces in the width direction. The user can grip the handle portion 26B by grasping it in the width direction. An extension projection 262 is provided at the outer end of the handle portion 26B in the indoor / outdoor direction, extending outward in the width direction.

[0044] The width W2 from the outward-facing surface 25a of the vertical frame 25B to the inward-facing surface 26a of the handle portion 26B is preferably 10 mm to 40 mm.

[0045] In this configuration, the handle portion 26B of the handle-equipped trim 24B is integrally formed with the trim portion 41B. Since there is no need to provide reinforcement or the like to the trim to attach the handle, the handle-equipped trim 24B can be made compact, and a wide effective opening width W11 can be secured when the shoji screen 2 is opened. The compact design of the handle-equipped trim 24B also improves the aesthetic appeal.

[0046] By integrally forming the handle portion 26B with the trim portion 41B, rather than making the handle and trim separate parts, the number of parts can be reduced. The installation work required to attach the handle to the trim can also be reduced.

[0047] (Fourth embodiment) The joinery according to the fourth embodiment will be described mainly with reference to Figure 10. As shown in Figure 10, a handle-equipped trim 24B is attached to the indoor side of the vertical frame 25B, and a trim 41 is attached to the outdoor side. Thus, the handle portion 26B is provided only on the indoor side.

Since there is no need to provide reinforcement to the vertical frame or trim to attach the handle, the glass-holding member 24D with a handle can be made compact, and a wide effective opening width W11 can be secured when the shoji screen 2 is opened. The compact configuration of the glass-holding member 24D with a handle improves the aesthetic appeal.

[0059] The inward-facing wall portion 413 of the trim portion 41D extends inward in the width direction from the base portion 26d of the handle portion 26C. Because the width direction length of the glass holding member 24D with handle is increased, the strength with which the glass holding member 24D with handle holds the glass panel 29 can be increased.

[0060] (Seventh Embodiment) The joinery according to the seventh embodiment will be described mainly with reference to Figure 13. As shown in Figure 13, the vertical frame with handle 24E has a handle portion 26E provided only on the indoor side. The handle portion 26E protrudes indoors from the inner end in the width direction of the extending wall portion 253. An extension portion 267 is provided midway between the indoor and outdoor directions of the handle portion 26E, protruding inwards in the width direction. The extension portion 267 is formed in a plate shape. The plate surface of the extension portion 267 faces in the indoor and outdoor direction. The vertical frame with handle 24E corresponds to the vertical member of the claim.

[0061] In this configuration, the handle portion 26E of the vertical frame 24E with handle is integrally formed with the vertical frame portion 25. Since there is no need to provide reinforcement or the like on the vertical frame to attach the handle, the vertical frame 24E with handle can be made compact, and a wide effective opening width W11 can be secured when the shoji screen 2 is opened. The compact configuration of the vertical frame 24E with handle improves the aesthetic appeal.

[0062] If the shoji screen 2 is opened and closed manually only from the indoor side, the handle 26E can be provided only on the indoor side.

[0063] The handle portion 26E is provided with an extension portion 267 that protrudes inward in the width direction. Users can also grip the extension portion 267 to open and close the device.

[0064] (Eighth embodiment) The joinery according to the eighth embodiment will be described mainly with reference to Figure 14. As shown in Figure 14, the glass holding member 24F with a handle is provided with a reinforcing member 38 inside. The glass holding member 24F with a handle corresponds to the vertical member of the claim.

[0065] In the glass holding member 24F with a handle, an extended wall portion 259 extending inward in the width direction is provided at the outer end of the recessed wall portion 252 in the indoor / outdoor direction. The widthwise length of the extended wall portion 259 is longer than that of the extended wall portion 253 of the glass holding member 24D according to the sixth embodiment.

[0066] The extension wall sections 259 on both the indoor and outdoor sides are connected by a trim wall section 263. The trim wall section 263 has a first wall section 264, 264, a second wall section 265, 265, and a third wall section 266. The trim wall section 263 corresponds to the trim of the claim.

[0067] The first wall section 264 extends inward from the extension wall section 259 in the indoor-outdoor direction. The second wall section 265 extends outward in the width direction from the inner end of the first wall section 264 in the indoor-outdoor direction. The third wall section 266 connects the second wall sections 265 on both the indoor and outdoor sides.

[0068] Glass grooves 31E are formed on the inner edges of the second wall portions 265, 265 and the third wall portion 266, which are surfaces facing inward in the width direction.

[0069] The space enclosed by the base portion 251, recessed wall portions 252, 252, extended wall portions 259, 259, and trim wall portion 263 is provided with a reinforcing member 38 that opens inward in the width direction and has a horizontal cross-sectional shape.

[0070] In this configuration, the handle portion 26C of the glass retaining member 24F with a handle is integrally formed with the vertical frame portion 25 and the trim wall portion 263. Since there is no need to provide reinforcement to the vertical frame or trim to attach the handle, the glass retaining member 24F with a handle can be made compact, and a wide effective opening width W11 can be secured when the shoji screen 2 is opened. The compact configuration of the glass retaining member 24F with a handle improves the aesthetic appeal.

[0071] A reinforcing member 38 is provided in the space enclosed by the base portion 251, recessed wall portions 252, 252, extended wall portions 259, 259, and trim wall portion 263 of the glass holder member 24F with a handle. The reinforcing member 38 can increase the strength of the glass holder member 24F with a handle.
