Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a window, and more particularly to a window forming a sliding window, a sliding window, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, as one of windows having heat insulating properties, a window having a synthetic resin frame which is framed four times is widely known. Such windows exhibit the same heat insulation properties as conventional windows using natural wood, and the frames that compose the windows are easily formed into a complex cross-sectional shape by melt extrusion, resulting in good productivity. is there.

[0003]

However, in a window provided with each frame made of a synthetic resin, the structure of a portion for supporting the shoji is made equal to that of a metal frame made of aluminum or the like. There is a problem that it is necessary to complicate the design and to design the portion to be thick, which takes time and effort in the design.

[0004] Therefore, the supporting portion of the frame in the frame is made of a metal supporting member to simplify the structure of the supporting portion. However, since such support members are different depending on the window type such as a sliding window, a sliding window, or a fitting window, that is, depending on the movable form of the shoji and the mounting form of the panel, these support members are attached. It is necessary to prepare various types of frames on the side of the frame to match the movable form of the shoji screen and the mounting form of the panel, and there is a problem that the types of members are increased.

An object of the present invention is to provide a window capable of easily securing the supporting strength of a shoji or a panel and reducing the number of members while maintaining good heat insulation and productivity.

[0006]

A window according to the present invention comprises a frame made of a synthetic resin frame body having a four-circle frame, and at least one frame body has an inner surface on which a metal supporting the shoji or panel is provided. A support member is provided, and the support member is selected from a plurality of types prepared according to the movable form of the shoji and the mounting form of the panel.

According to the present invention, since the frame body forming the majority of the window is made of a synthetic resin, good heat insulation is maintained, and the frame can be produced by extrusion as in the past. Good productivity is also maintained. In addition, since the shoji or panel is supported by a metal supporting member that is superior in strength, the supporting strength of the shoji or panel is improved, and the supporting strength is easily secured. Furthermore, since the supporting member is selected and used in accordance with the movable form of the shoji and the mounting form of the panel, the movable form of the shoji and the mounting form of the panel, such as a sliding window, a sliding window, or a fitting window, are used. Even if different, the same one is used as at least one frame body, so that members can be shared and the types of members can be reduced. As described above, the above object is achieved.

[0008] In the window of the present invention, it is preferable that the metal supporting member is provided on each of the frame bodies having a four-frame structure. In such a configuration, all the frame bodies can be shared by windows having different movable forms of the sliding doors and different mounting forms of the panels, and the reduction in the number of types of the members is further promoted. The support strength of the panel is further improved. In addition, when the sliding door or panel is received by a synthetic resin frame body instead of a metal supporting member, it is necessary to ensure a sealing property with the receiving portion. There is a possibility that the design and manufacturing will be complicated and costly, such as the need to attach an airtight material to the frame body or make the frame body have a structure with a sealing function, but they will be replaced by metal support members. In the case of receiving, the mounting structure of the hermetic material and the like that have been conventionally performed can be applied, and there is no concern that the cost will be increased.
The support member and the airtight material are integrally unitized, and the handling does not become complicated.

In the window of the present invention, it is preferable that the frame main body is made of synthetic wood formed by mixing wood flour. Here, synthetic wood means that the mixing ratio of wood powder to synthetic resin is 3
0% by weight or more. In this case, the wood flour is
Not limited to those obtained by pulverizing wood, but also include those obtained by pulverizing cellulose-based materials such as coconut shells, coffee grounds, waste paper, and waste materials into powder. Further, as the synthetic resin into which the wood powder is mixed, a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and vinyl chloride resin is preferably used. In such a configuration, since wood powder is mixed with the synthetic resin, in addition to good heat insulating properties and productivity, a woody feeling is imparted as compared with the conventional case where only synthetic resin is used, and the texture close to that of natural wood is given. can get.

[0010] When the present invention is applied to a sliding window or a sliding window, the frame of the shoji to be accommodated in the frame is not particularly limited. It is desirable to use synthetic wood similar to the main body, and to achieve mutual harmony.

In the window according to the present invention, it is preferable that the frame body is attached to the building via a metal attachment member. In such a configuration, since the frame main body is attached to the building side via a metal attachment member that is superior in strength, the mounting strength of the frame main body is improved, and the durability is increased.

In this case, it is preferable that the outdoor end side of the mounting member is locked in a groove provided on an outer surface of the frame body. In such a configuration, since the outdoor end side of the mounting member is locked in the groove of the frame main body, when mounting the mounting member to the frame main body, only the indoor end side of the mounting member is screwed to the frame main body. Then, the work of attaching the attachment member to the frame body becomes easy. Furthermore, it is also possible to form a water return structure between the groove of the frame main body and the outdoor end of the mounting member. In this case, rainwater or the like may permeate between the frame main body and the mounting member. And the waterproof performance is improved.

In the above, when the support member and the attachment member are used, it is preferable that the support member and / or the attachment member be fixed to a metal reinforcing member provided inside the main body. . In such a configuration,
Since the support member and the attachment member are fixed to the metal reinforcing member inside the frame main body with screws or the like, they are fixed more firmly than when screws or the like are attached to the synthetic wood portion.

[0014] In the window of the present invention, it is preferable that the indoor side surface of the frame main body is covered with a cover member. As the material of such a cover member, aluminum, synthetic resin,
Arbitrary ones such as a natural tree and a synthetic tree can be applied. When the cover member is made of synthetic wood, the material may be the same as that of the frame body, and the content of the wood powder may be increased or decreased. Above all, when the content of the wood flour is larger than that of the frame main body, when such a cover member is exposed to the indoor side, a more introspective interior can be obtained. Conversely, the frame body exposed to the outside of the room has a low wood flour content, so that weather resistance and durability are improved.

[0015]
