Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a window frame and a window frame mounting structure which are convenient for walking of persons with disabilities and elderly people.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional window frame 10 provided at an opening 5 of a wall body 4 projects from a wall surface 4A on the indoor side.

[0003]

However, conventionally,
Since the lower end of the high window type opening 5 is about 800 mm, it is at the same level as the height of the handrail 3 for assisting walking. For this reason, if the handrail 3 is to be attached near the opening 5, the interval between the handrail 3 and the window frame 10 is reduced because the window frame 10 protrudes from the wall surface 4 </ b> A around the opening 5 on the indoor side. There is a problem that the protrusion 10A of the frame 10 becomes an obstacle when the handrail 3 is used. In addition, if the amount of protrusion of the handrail 3 is increased in order to increase the distance between the handrail 3 and the window frame 10, the effective area of the room or the passage becomes narrow, or the amount of protrusion of the handrail 3 only at the window frame. There is a problem that becomes large.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a window frame in which a projected portion of the window frame does not interfere with the use of a handrail. I do. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a window frame mounting structure in which a protrusion of a window frame does not become an obstacle when a handrail is used and the amount of protrusion of the handrail is reduced.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a frame body attached to an opening of a wall, and a horizontal handrail integrally projecting from the interior of the frame body on the indoor side. It is a window frame characterized by becoming.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a window frame mounting structure in which the window frame according to the first aspect is mounted on an opening of a wall body, wherein the frame body does not protrude from a wall surface of the wall body. It is characterized by being done. (Function) Since the window frame according to the first aspect is provided with a horizontal handrail integrally protruding from the indoor side of the frame body,
Even when the frame main body protrudes from the indoor wall surface, the protruding portion does not interfere with the use of the handrail.

According to the window frame mounting structure of the second aspect, the frame main body does not protrude from the wall surface, so that the amount of protrusion of the handrail from the wall surface can be reduced.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 and FIG.
FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a window frame, FIGS. 1B and 1C are longitudinal sectional views of the window frame shown in FIG. 1A, and FIG. It is principal part sectional drawing of the window frame which shows the modification of the handrail shown in FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a window frame. The window frame 1 is integrally provided with a frame body 2 attached to an opening 5 of a wall body 4 and protrudes from the frame body 2 on the indoor side. It consists of a handrail 3 in the horizontal direction. Frame body 2 above
Are lower cross members 21, upper cross members 22, left and right vertical members 23, 2
3 and is attached to the periphery of the opening 5 on the indoor side. The side surface 211 of the lower cross member 21 is flush with the indoor side wall surface of the wall 4 around the opening 5 so that the frame body 2 does not protrude from the wall surface. A sash frame 6 is attached to the outer periphery of the opening 5, and a pair of window sashes 7 and 8 that can be opened and closed are fitted into the sash frame 6. The handrail 3 is formed by lowering the base ends on both sides with a lower cross member 21.
It is integrated with both sides of the vehicle and has a central portion that protrudes in an arc shape and protrudes toward the indoor side.

The cross section of the handrail 3 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 2C, the center portion in the longitudinal direction is formed in a circular shape, but as shown in FIG.
The thickness of one side may be increased, and a fingertip hook portion may be formed on the lower surface of the handrail 3 having the increased thickness. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the cross-sectional shape of the handrail 3 may be a gourd shape constricted at the center.

FIG. 1 (b) shows the indoor side wall surface of the wall body 4.
As shown in the figure, there is provided a cutout A into which the end of the wallpaper stuck on the indoor side surface of the wall 4 is inserted.
As shown in the figure, a notch B may be provided in the frame main body 2.

As described above, the window frame 1 of the present embodiment
According to this, a horizontal handrail 3 is provided on the indoor side of the frame body 2.
Are integrally formed and protruded, so that even when the frame main body 2 protrudes from the wall surface on the indoor side, this protruding portion does not interfere with the use of the handrail 3. Further, since the frame body 2 does not protrude from the wall surface, the amount of protrusion of the handrail 3 can be reduced while maintaining an effective opening width for inserting a finger between the frame body 2 and the handrail 3. Furthermore, a bracket for attaching the handrail 3 can be omitted.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a window frame according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. 1A is a window frame. The window frame 1A is composed of a frame main body 2 and a horizontal handrail 3A that is integrally provided and protruded on the indoor side of the frame main body 2. Both ends of the handrail 3A can be connected to an adjacent handrail 3B, and the handrail 3A and the handrail 3B are continuous, so that the walking along the wall surface is further facilitated. .
In this way, the handrail 3B attached to the normal wall surface and the handrail 3A of the window frame 1A can have the same amount of protrusion from the wall surface, and the opening width effective for putting a finger can be the same.

[0014]

According to the window frame of the first aspect, even when the frame main body protrudes from the wall surface on the indoor side, this protruding portion does not hinder the use of the handrail. Also, a bracket for attaching a handrail can be omitted.

According to the window frame mounting structure of the second aspect, the frame body does not protrude from the wall surface, so that the amount of protrusion of the handrail from the wall surface can be reduced.
