The overall structure of the glass tube mounting structure will be described.

  6 is an overall front view of the glass tube mounting structure to the outer wall of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a longitudinal side view of the same as the above, and 1 in the figure is an outer wall of the building made of, for example, a PC plate. The frame-shaped glass tube support frame 2 is fixed by being suspended by a joining member 4 such as a slide fastener. In the example shown in the figure, there are three hanging points, and a bolt hole is drilled in a predetermined portion of the outer wall 1 formed of a PC plate, and the slide is made of the bolt hole with a corrosion-resistant joining material such as a stainless bolt. The joining member 4 such as a fastener is fixed.

  In the figure, 5 indicates a window of the building, and the glass tube support frame 2 is arranged so as to cover a part of the window outside the window.

  The glass tube support frame 2 is made of steel, plastic, or the like as a material having sufficient rigidity to support a large number of glass tubes, and the cross-sectional shape has a flat portion for attaching the glass tubes. T-shaped angle and channel shape.

  A large number of glass tubes 3 are mounted in parallel inside the glass tube support frame 2. As attachment means, bolt holes 21 are formed in the inner side of the upper beam portion and the inner side of the lower beam portion of the glass tube support frame 2, and the glass tube is supported by the stainless bolt 8 through the bolt holes 21. An upper support member 6 and a lower support member 7 are fixed to the frame 2, the upper end of the glass tube 3 is attached to the upper support member 6, and the lower end of the glass tube 3 is attached to the lower support member 7. 3 is attached to the glass tube support frame 2.

  The structure of the upper support member 6 is made of an aluminum casting or a hard thermosetting plastic as a material, and is formed in a disk shape in which the upper part is closed and the lower part is formed as an open surface as shown in FIG. A bolt hole 10 through which the stainless steel bolt 8 is inserted is formed in the closed portion, and the peripheral wall is formed as a double wall of the outer wall 11 and the inner wall 12.

  The outer diameter of the inner wall 12 is formed to be substantially equal to the inner diameter of the glass tube 3, the lower open surface side of the inner wall 12 is formed into a thick portion protruding toward the outer wall 11, and the step portion 13 is provided by this thick portion. Moreover, the ring-shaped groove 14 was provided along the circumferential direction on the outer side of the thick part.

  Then, an O-ring 15 having a circular cross section is fitted into the groove 14. In this embodiment, the O-ring 15 is made of EPDM rigid rubber, but is not limited thereto, and may be silicone rubber, chloroprene rubber, or the like. The hardness of this rubber is preferably about 30 to 60 Shore hardness.

  Further, an O-ring 16 having a rectangular cross section is attached to a portion above the step portion 13 by a groove 22 formed between the outer wall 11 and the inner wall 12. The O-ring 16 is a silicone sponge packing material, and when the glass tube 3 is mounted, the cross-sectional edge portion of the upper end of the glass tube 3 directly contacts the inside of the main body of the upper support member 6 to break the glass. Has a role to prevent.

  The structure of the lower support member 7 is such that the main body is made of a cast aluminum or a hard thermosetting plastic as in the case of the upper support member 6 and is formed into a hollow substantially cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. An L-shaped hook portion 17 protruded from one side at the lower portion of the portion.

  A groove 18 is formed along the outer peripheral surface in the upper portion of the cylindrical portion, and an O-ring 19 having a circular cross section is fitted into the groove 18. The material of the O-ring 19 is the same as that of the O-ring 15.

  In addition, an O-ring 20 that is wider than the O-ring 19 and has a rectangular cross section is attached to the base end portion of the cylindrical main body. This O-ring 20 is similar to the O-ring 16 in that when the glass tube 3 is mounted, the cross-sectional edge portion of the lower end of the glass tube 3 directly contacts the inside of the main body of the lower support member 7 to break the glass. In the embodiment, EDPM-based rigid rubber is used. However, the material is not limited to this, and chloroprene or other rubber that is difficult to relieve stress, or a plastic material may be used. . The Shore hardness is preferably about 70 to 90.

  Next, a method of attaching the glass tube 3 to the outside of the outer wall 1 using the upper support member 6 and the lower support member 7 will be described. As described above, the glass tube support frame 2 is fixed to the outer wall 1 with the stainless steel bolt by the joining member 4 such as a slide fastener, and the bolt hole 21 and the upper portion formed in the inner upper portion of the glass tube support frame 2. The bolt hole 10 formed in the support member 6 is matched, and the upper support member 6 is fixed to the upper inner side of the glass tube support frame 2 with the stainless bolt 8, and the lower support member 7 is fixed to the glass tube support member 2 in the same manner. It is fixed inside the lower part.

  In this state, if the glass tube 3 is first installed by being pushed upward into the groove 22 of the upper support member 6 from below, the upper end of the glass tube 3 bites into the O-ring 16 attached to the groove 22. The O-ring 15 disposed outside the inner wall 12 is inserted into the glass tube 3.

  In this case, the length of insertion of the glass tube 3 into the groove 22 is, for example, about 10 mm, and the O-ring 15 is pressed against the inside of the glass tube 3 so that the glass tube 3 is the upper support member. There is no fear of coming off from 6. And since the upper end edge of the glass tube 3 bites into the O-ring 16 which is a silicone sponge-like packing material, it does not contact a hard main body directly, and there is no possibility that the glass tube 3 will be damaged.

  After the upper portion of the glass tube 3 is fitted into the upper support member 6, the glass tube 3 is pushed up against the O-ring 16 while being pushed up and placed on the upper surface of the O-ring 20 of the lower support member 7. The lower part of the glass tube 3 is attached to the lower support member 7 by the so-called “Kendon” method so that 19 enters inside the lower part of the glass tube 3.

  Thus, in a state where the glass tube 3 is supported by the upper support member 6 and the lower support member 7, a dimensional error and a mounting construction error of the glass tube 3 are absorbed by the upper support portion 6 and the lower support member 7. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the remaining gap between the upper outer surface of the glass tube 3 and the groove 22 is sealed with a pitch seal 23 at two locations on the building side and the outdoor side of the glass tube 3.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower portion of the glass tube 3 and the outer surface of the O-ring 20 are sealed with a pitch seal 23.

  As described above, the glass tube 3 is attached to the glass tube support frame 2 suspended from the outer wall 1 of the building via the upper support member 6 and the lower support member 7. In this state, since the glass tube support frame 2 follows the PC plate which is the outer wall 1 of the building and moves in the same manner, no interlayer displacement occurs.

  Further, the glass tube 3 is insulated by the O-ring 16 which is a silicone sponge-like packing material or the O-ring 20 made of EDPM rigid rubber even if the end portion is displaced due to thermal expansion / contraction or wind pressure. The edge stress is not generated by the cushion effect. And even if the impact by the contact of a flying object etc. is added to the glass tube 3, since the kinetic energy is absorbed by the upper and lower O-rings 16 and 20, the impact strength can be secured.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a drain hole 24 is provided in the lower support member 7 so that the sealing material such as the O-rings 19 and 20 does not deteriorate even if rainwater or moisture enters the glass tube 3. did.

  As a means for preventing falling or scattering when the glass tube 3 is broken, an anti-scattering film is attached inside the glass tube 3, two transparent one-pack silicone sealants are sealed inside the glass tube 3, A sealant having a length of 1 cm is applied to the top and the bottom of the glass tube 3, or the glass tube 3 is stretched so as to have one slack in the glass tube 3 as shown in FIG. Thereby, even if the glass tube 3 is damaged, it is safe to be prevented from falling off.
