Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bay window, and in particular, an upper sleeve frame inclined downward toward the outside, a vertical sleeve frame joined to the indoor side of the upper sleeve frame, and a vertical sleeve frame. The present invention relates to a bay window provided with a vertical ridge attached to the sleeve and a top frame joined to the upper side of the sleeve vertical frame.

[0002]

BACKGROUND ART In one of the bay windows that have been frequently used, a top surface portion is inclined downward toward the outdoor side, and the top surface portion is formed by fitting a glass surface material into a frame body. So-called toplight bay windows are known.

The slope of the top surface of the toplight bay window is
It is formed by inclining the upper sleeve frame constituting the sleeve portion with respect to the vertical sleeve frame. In addition, a fitting window is often formed in the sleeve portion, and the glass surface material used is supported by a pair of vertical ridges (inner ridges). Therefore, the upper end of the vertical ridge is
Angled cut diagonally to accommodate the inclination of the upper sleeve frame.

[0004]

However, in the case of the vertical ridge, which is obliquely cut at an angle, the upper end of the vertical ridge does not easily fit on the lower end side of the upper sleeve frame when it is attached to the vertical sleeve frame, and the workability is poor. There is. In order to solve such a problem, the length of the vertical ridge may be slightly shortened, a gap of several millimeters may be provided between the sleeve and the lower end of the upper frame, or the vertical ridge may be divided into two parts. This is possible, but this causes a problem that the appearance of the part is not good and the inner appearance is damaged.

On the other hand, in the toplight bay window, when dew condensation occurs on the top frame forming the top surface part, the dew condensation water is retained in a horizontal dew pool provided on the lower end side of the top frame. The accumulated condensed water is evaporated by natural drying. However, in the case of frequent condensation,
Since the dew condensation water cannot be evaporated in time, the dew condensation water cannot be collected in the dew condensation pool and drip down.

An object of the present invention is to provide a bay window which can improve workability without impairing the inner appearance and which can effectively drain dew condensation water.

[0007]

The bay window of the present invention includes a sleeve upper frame inclined downward toward the outdoor side, a sleeve vertical frame joined to the indoor side of the upper sleeve frame, and a sleeve vertical frame. A bay window provided with a vertical ridge to be attached and a top frame joined to the upper side of the sleeve vertical frame, the inclined lower end portion of the upper sleeve frame (lower portion along the inclination), The horizontal upper end portion of the vertical ridge and the sleeve vertical frame form a side surface substantially triangular gap, and this gap is formed between the drainage flow path portion for draining condensed water and the vertical ridge provided on the top frame. It is characterized in that it is closed by a drainage member that communicates with the back side.

According to the present invention as described above, the upper end portion of the vertical ridge is not angle-cut unlike the conventional case, and a large triangular gap is formed between the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the sleeve upper frame. Therefore, the vertical ridge can be easily accommodated by utilizing this gap, and the workability is improved. At this time, since such a triangular gap is closed by the drainage member, the gap does not remain as it is, and there is no fear of impairing the inner appearance. Then, the dew condensation water generated in the ceiling frame flows to the back side of the vertical ridge through the drainage member after being collected in the drainage flow path section, and is finally discharged to the outside of the room. Condensed water is treated reliably without the risk of water dripping or falling along the surface such as the vertical ridge. From the above, the object of the present invention is achieved.

Further, in the bay window of the present invention, the top frame is provided with a drainage channel portion for draining dew condensation water, and the drainage channel portion is extended to the outside of the room to a position overlapping the gap in a side view. Is desirable. In such a configuration, since the drainage flow path part of the top frame is extended to the vicinity of the clearance, the drainage flow path part and the clearance can be communicated with the drainage member having a simple shape. Condensed water is less likely to spill during drainage in the member, and drainage is improved.

In the bay window of the present invention, it is desirable that the drainage member be provided with a locking means that is locked to the lower end of the upper sleeve frame. In such a case, the drainage member is locked to the upper sleeve frame by the locking means, so that the drainage member can be stably accommodated in the gap. For example, a sliding window provided in the bay window. Even if the shoji screen is opened and closed at the portion, the drainage member does not easily slip out of the gap due to vibration or the like, and the closed state of the gap and the drainage performance of the condensed water are reliably maintained.

The drainage member 50 is made of a synthetic resin and is formed integrally with the accommodating portion 51 accommodated in the gap 29 and the drainage guide projecting toward the end of the top frame 31. And a section 52.

The accommodating portion 51 has a wedge shape corresponding to the shape of the gap 29, and covers the substantially entire upper end portion 27 of the vertical ridge 26 and is placed on the upper end portion 27 thereof. A locking piece (locking means) 53 is provided on the upper portion of the housing portion 51 so as to project upward. The locking piece 53 is used for the housing portion 5.
While 1 is being accommodated in the gap 29, it is elastically deformed due to contact with the lower end portion 28 of the upper sleeve frame 21 and is in a state of being collapsed, and when completely accommodated, it returns to the original protruding height. ,
It is locked in a locking hole 28A (FIG. 3) formed in the lower end portion 28.

The drainage guide 52 has a top frame 31 on its tip end side.
In the drainage flow path 34, the portion that sticks out from the sleeve vertical frame 23 to the outside of the room, that is, the portion that overlaps the gap 29 in a side view (FIG. 1) is in close contact. Further, the back surface 52A (the surface on the indoor side) of the drainage guide portion 52 is in close contact with the sleeve vertical frame 23.

The drainage guide portion 52 is provided with a straight drainage groove 54 which communicates from a portion of the drainage flow path portion 34 which is in close contact with the lower surface 34A to the back side of the vertical ridge 26 (the side not viewed inside). Even in the case of the present embodiment in which the flow path portion 34 extends up to the side surface 23B of the sleeve vertical frame 23 and does not completely extend to the upper sleeve frame 21, the dew condensation water dripping from the drainage flow path portion 34 is absorbed by the vertical ridge 26. It is designed to be guided to the back side.

Further, one end of the drainage guide portion 52 is in close contact with the rising surface 34B of the drainage flow passage portion 34, and the other end thereof is on the sleeve upper frame 21.
A protruding piece 55 that abuts on the side surface (not shown in FIG. 5) is provided, and even if the amount of dew condensation water is large, there is no risk of leakage from the drain groove 54.

Such a drainage member 50 is arranged at a stage where the sleeve portion 20 and the top surface portion 30 are assembled and the vertical ridge 26 and the like are also attached. When placing the container 51
Is inserted into the triangular gap 29, and the locking piece 53 may be locked to the upper sleeve frame 21 at the time of completion of insertion.

According to this embodiment, the following effects are obtained. (1) In the bay window 1, since the upper end portion 27 of the vertical ridge 26 used in the sleeve portion 20 is not cut at an angle but is cut horizontally, it is large between the upper sleeve frame 21 and the vertical sleeve frame 23. A triangular gap 29 can be formed. Therefore, by using this gap 29, the vertical ridge 26 is connected to the sleeve vertical frame 23.
Can be easily and quickly inserted and attached, and the workability can be improved.

(2) The gap 29 is formed by the drainage member 50.
Since it is blocked by the gap 29, the gap 29 is not left as it is, the appearance and design of this portion can be improved, and the inside appearance can be improved.

(3) In addition, the drainage member 50 can guide the condensed water collected in the drainage flow path portion 34 of the top frame 31 to the back side of the vertical ridge 26 and drop the condensed water downward. Water can be reliably drained to the outside from a drain hole or the like formed in the sleeve lower frame 22. Therefore, condensed water may drip from the top frame 31,
It is possible to prevent it from flowing down the side surface 23B of the sleeve vertical frame 23, to obtain sufficient drainage performance, and to see the condensed water from the indoor side, so that the inside appearance can be further improved.

(4) Since the drainage flow path portion 34 of the top frame 31 extends to the outside of the room to the position where it overlaps with the gap 29 in a side view, the drainage member 50 is provided in the drainage guide portion 52 and the drainage groove 54. Need only be provided in a straight line, and there is no need to provide a complicated drainage groove. Therefore, the structure of the drainage member 50 can be simplified, and the dew condensation water can be smoothly drained without spilling, and the drainability can be improved.

(5) In the accommodating portion 51 of the drainage member 50,
Since the locking piece 53 that is locked to the upper sleeve frame 21 is provided, it is possible to prevent the drainage member 50 from falling out of the gap 29, and the opening and closing of the shoji 15 at the window 10 causes vibration. Even in this case, the drainage member 50 can be reliably accommodated in the gap 29, and the gap 29 can be closed and the condensed water can be drained reliably.

(6) Moreover, the accommodating portion 5 of the drainage member 50.
Since 1 is placed on the upper end portion 27 so as to cover the entire upper end portion 27 of the vertical ridge 26, a stable accommodation state can be realized, and from this point also, the drainage member 50 can be made difficult to detach. .

(7) Drainage guide portion 52 of the drainage member 50
Alternatively, since the protrusion 55 provided on this is in close contact with the drainage flow path portion 34 of the top frame 31, the condensed water from the drainage flow path portion 34 can be drained without leaking. In particular, since the protrusion 55 is in close contact with the upright surface 34B of the drainage flow path 34, a large amount of dew condensation water can be sufficiently dealt with.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the locking piece 53 that is locked to the upper sleeve frame 21 is provided as the locking means of the drainage member 50, but the locking means is not limited to this, and the vertical ridge 26 may be used. It may be a locking piece or the like that can be locked on the back side of the, and the shape thereof is not limited to the elastically deformable piece, and may be arbitrarily determined in consideration of the shape of the locked portion and the like. . In addition, in the present invention, such a locking means is not an indispensable constituent element, and even if there is no locking means, it is included in the present invention. However, since the effect of (5) described above can be obtained by providing the locking means, it is preferable to do so.

Further, the shape of the drainage guide portion 52 of the drainage member 50 may be arbitrarily determined in consideration of the shape of the end portion of the drainage flow path portion 34 of the top frame 31 and the like. The shape is not limited. For example, the drainage flow path portion 34 does not extend to the outdoor side to a position overlapping the gap 29 in a side view,
When the entire end portion of the drainage flow path portion 34 is in contact with the side surface 23B of the sleeve vertical frame 23, a cutout portion is provided in the drainage flow path portion 34 to form a drainage hole. The drainage guide portion 52 may be provided so as to communicate with each other.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the sliding window is formed as the window portion 10. However, the window portion 10 which is not directly related to the vertical ridge 26 may have any shape. , Any type of window, such as a siding window, a casement window, etc.
