Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily make variable the ratio of transparent portions of a building member by alternately arranging opaque portions and the transparent portions in a fixed plate and a mobile plate which is movable with respect to the fixed plate, along a moving direction of the mobile plate, and changing the degree of superposition of the opaque portions of the mobile plate on the transparent portions of the fixed plate, depending on the location of the mobile plate. SOLUTION: The building member is made up of a framing consisting of top and bottom rails and right and left stiles, a fixed plate 7 securely fitted in the framing, and a mobile plate 9 which is arranged so as to be movable along guiding grooves formed in the top and bottom rails. The fixed plate 7 formed of a transparent glass plate or the like, with a transverse length of L has a predetermined number of opaque portions 11 formed therein, in a moving direction of the mobile plate 9 at predetermined intervals, whereby portions without formation of the opaque portions 11 form transparent portions 12. A main body 16 of the mobile plate 9 formed of a transparent synthetic resin sheet or the like has a predetermined number of opaque portions 19 formed therein, in the moving direction of the mobile plate 9 at predetermined intervals. The opaque portions 19 of the mobile plate 9 change the degree of superposition thereof on the transparent portions of the fixed plate 7, depending on the location of the mobile plate 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an architectural member which can be suitably used as a substitute for a shroud or a blind, or as a partition or a front panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When it is necessary (for example, during the daytime), the outside of the room can be seen from inside the room, while when it is not necessary (for example, at night), the inside of the room cannot be seen from the outside of the room. Blinds having a number of horizontal slats in the height direction are known.

[0003]

Disadvantages of the prior art The conventional blind has the disadvantage that dust easily accumulates on the horizontal slats and also has the disadvantage that the design is complicated.

[0004]

The present invention employs the following means to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. The invention according to claim 1 includes a fixed plate, and a movable plate provided to be movable left and right or up and down with respect to the fixed plate, and each of the fixed plate and the movable plate is provided along a moving direction of the movable plate. The opaque portion and the transparent portion are alternately provided, and the degree to which the opaque portion of the movable plate overlaps the transparent portion of the fixed plate changes according to the position of the movable plate. According to a second aspect of the present invention, the transparent portion of the fixed plate can be completely covered by the opaque portion of the movable plate. The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a heat insulating space is formed between the movable plate and the fixed plate.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained by the above configuration. According to the first aspect of the present invention, by changing the position of the movable plate, the ratio of the visible part of the building member to the non-visible part can be easily changed, which is convenient. Also, since the basic configuration is a fixed plate and a movable plate, unlike a blind, there is no accumulation of dust and no complicated feeling. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the field of view can be completely blocked. According to the invention of claim 3, it can be used as a building member having a high heat insulating function.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Two embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In these descriptions, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[First Embodiment of the Invention] (FIGS. 1 to 4)
In this description, “front” means the front side of FIG. 1, “rear” means the back side, “left” means the left side of FIG. 1, and “right” means the right side of FIG.

The architectural member 1 includes a frame 3 composed of upper and lower horizontal frames 4 and left and right vertical frames 5, a fixed plate 7 fitted to the frame 3, and upper and lower horizontal frames 4. And a movable plate 9 provided to be able to move left and right along the formed guide groove 8. The left and right edges of the movable plate 9 are loosely fitted into grooves 10 formed in the vertical frame 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fixed plate 7 is made of a transparent glass plate or the like having a length L on the left and right sides.
A required number of opaque portions 11 are formed at predetermined intervals along the moving direction (left-right direction) of FIG. In this specification, the term "opaque" generally refers to opaque but has translucency such as shoji paper, but also includes opaque without translucency. “Transparent” may be colored transparent or colorless and transparent. The left and right width of the opaque portion 11 (excluding the right end) is “H + 2α” and the transparent portion 12
The width of (excluding those on the left end) is “H-2α”. Generally, “H” is about 15 mm and “α” is 1
mm. The method of forming the opaque portion 11 on the fixing plate 7 is arbitrary, such as printing, painting, or applying an opaque tape. Note that a transparent protective sheet is attached to the entire surface of the fixing plate 7 on the side where the opaque portion 11 is formed.

The movable plate 9 includes a main body 16 made of a transparent synthetic resin sheet or the like and having a left and right length M (see FIG. 4), a horizontal member 17 provided on the upper and lower edges of the main body 16, A knob 18 (see FIG. 1) provided at the right end, and the upper and lower ends of the main body 16 and the cross member 17 are provided in the guide grooves 8.
It is fitted to the left and right freely. As shown in FIG. 4, a required number of opaque portions 19 are formed at predetermined intervals in the main body 16 along the moving direction (left-right direction) of the movable plate 9, and a portion where the opaque portion 19 is not formed is a transparent portion 20. It has been done. The left and right widths of the opaque part 19 and the transparent part 20 are
Both are "H". The method of forming the opaque portion 19 on the main body 16 is arbitrary, such as printing, painting, or applying an opaque tape. A transparent protective sheet is attached to the entire surface of the main body 16 on the side where the opaque portion 19 is formed. In addition,
The horizontal movement length of the movable plate 9 is set to “H” or more.

In FIG. 4, the center of the opaque portion 19 in the left and right direction overlaps the center of the opaque portion 11 in the left and right direction, and the left and right portions of the opaque portion 11 protrude from the left and right ends of the opaque portion 19 by "α". Then, the transparent part 12 becomes the opaque part 1
9 shows a state in which the cover is not covered at all. In FIG. 4, when the movable plate 9 is moved to the right by “H”, the transparent portion 12 can be completely covered by the opaque portion 19, and the opaque portion 19 and the opaque portion 11 are “α”.
Can be in a state of overlapping. Then, by making the moving amount of the movable plate 9 to the right side smaller than “H−α”, the size of the transparent portion 12 covered by the opaque portion 19 can be adjusted.

[Second Embodiment of the Invention] (See FIG. 5) A heat insulating space 25 is formed between the fixed plate 7 and the movable plate 9. The opaque portion 11 of the fixing plate 7 and the opaque portion 19 of the main body 16 are formed by applying a slightly thick opaque tape having a heat insulating effect to the fixing plate 7 and the main body 16.

[0013]

[Modifications and the like] Modifications and the like will be described below. (1) The opaque portions 11 and 19 are in the form of strips that are linear in the vertical direction in the embodiment, but are not limited thereto. For example, the left and right edges of the opaque portions 11 and 19 may be curved such that the right and left edges are wavy.
19 may be oblique. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the transparent portion 12 is completely covered by the opaque portion 19, but the transparent portion 12 may not be completely covered by the opaque portion 19 in some cases. In short, the opaque portion 19 of the movable plate 9 is fixed to the fixed plate 7 according to the position of the movable plate 9.
The degree of overlap with the transparent portion 12 may be changed. (2) The materials of the fixing plate 7 and the main body 16 are arbitrary. In addition,
The fixing plate 7 itself or the main body 16 itself may be configured by alternately joining transparent plate pieces and opaque plate pieces. (3) The present invention can also be used as a partition in a room, a door or a window which allows an opening formed in an outer wall of a building to be freely opened and closed. (4) The movable plate 9 may be moved up and down.
