Description

  The present invention relates to a shutter, and more particularly to a shutter such as a snow cover mounted on a sash of a house in a heavy snow region.

  In heavy snowfall areas, in order to prevent damage to the window glass due to falling snow on the roof, a plurality of horizontally long plates are nailed with nails to the first floor sash to make a snow cover.

  However, in the snow cover (shutter) having such a structure, there is a problem that the outside light is blocked by the board and the interior is dark despite the daytime. There is also a problem that the appearance is not good. Furthermore, there is a problem that the attaching / detaching work is troublesome.

  Here, the same can be said for a general shutter, and light is not inserted indoors when the shutter is closed.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to propose a shutter such as a snow shelter that is excellent in daylighting and has a good appearance. Another object is to propose a shutter such as a snow cover that can be easily attached to and detached from the sash.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the shutter of the present invention has a frame composed of left and right vertical frames and upper and lower horizontal frames, and a transparent or translucent resin plate held by the frame. It is a feature.

  In the shutter of the present invention, since the resin plate held by the frame is transparent or translucent, external light can be taken indoors from this resin plate. Therefore, the shutter of the present invention is excellent in daylighting. Also, the appearance is good.

  In the present invention, in the frame, the left and right vertical frames and the upper and lower horizontal frames are each formed in a U-shaped cross section that opens to the inside, and the resin plate is in the opening of the frame. It is desirable to be held via the buffer material arranged. If comprised in this way, generation | occurrence | production of the noise by a resin plate vibrating with a wind etc. can be prevented.

  In the present invention, the resin plate is preferably a corrugated plate. If comprised in this way, since external light can be scattered by a resin board, indoors can be brightened. In addition, even when the resin plate is formed transparently, there is an advantage in crime prevention that indoors cannot be seen from the outside.

  In the present invention, the left and right vertical frames are stretched with elastic strings for preventing contact along the back surface of the resin plate. The elastic cord is in a state in which an end is held by a holding member such as a hook attached to the left and right vertical frames, and the holding member can hold two or more elastic cords. desirable. If comprised in this way, generation | occurrence | production of the noise by a resin plate deform | transforming with a wind pressure etc. and contacting a screen door, a window glass, etc. can be prevented. Moreover, since the elastic string is elastically deformed when the resin plate comes into contact, it is possible to prevent the resin plate from being damaged. Furthermore, if the number of elastic cords to be stretched according to the wind speed such as in the case of a typhoon is increased, it is possible to reliably prevent the resin plate from being deformed by wind pressure and coming into contact with the screen door or window glass.

  In addition, as the said resin board, the board made from a polycarbonate excellent in impact resistance, a weather resistance, heat insulation, etc. can be used, for example.

  Next, in order to allow the shutter to be easily attached to and detached from the sash, for example, a configuration having a fixing screw for the frame assembly and a screw insertion hole through which the fixing screw formed in the frame assembly is inserted. Can be adopted.

  Here, since the screen door is not used in winter, when the shutter of the present invention is used as a snow cover, it may be configured to be detachable from a screen door rail such as a sash attached to the wall of the building. If comprised in this way, a shutter can be easily attached or detached in the way which attaches or detaches a screen door.

  Next, in order to allow the shutter to be opened and closed for ventilation or the like, the frame is fixed to the window frame or the like via a hinge mechanism for attaching the frame to the window frame or the like of the building. That's fine.

  Alternatively, a shutter door rail may be attached to the outer surface of a building window frame or the like, and the shutter may be slid along the shutter door to open and close.

  Next, the shutter according to the present invention is particularly suitable for use as a snow cover.

  The shutter according to the present invention has a structure in which a transparent or translucent resin plate is held by a frame, so that it is excellent in daylighting and has a good appearance. In addition, because it uses a resin plate with excellent impact resistance, weather resistance, heat insulation, etc., in addition to preventing damage to the window glass, which is the original function of a shutter, indoor heat escapes from the window. To prevent. Furthermore, the attaching / detaching work can be easily performed.

  Therefore, if the shutter of the present invention is used in place of a conventional snow cover attached to a sash in a heavy snow region, the effect can be exhibited.

  An example of a shutter to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a shutter to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the shutter shown in FIG. In these drawings, an example of attaching to a sash of a screen door arranged on the outdoor side of a window frame in a general home is shown.

  The shutter 1 of this example has a shutter body 2 and a fixing screw 3 for the shutter body 2. The shutter body 2 includes a metal frame 4 such as aluminum and a resin plate 5 held by the frame 4.

  The resin plate 5 is a transparent or translucent plate excellent in impact resistance, weather resistance, heat insulation, and the like, and is made of, for example, polycarbonate. Further, since the resin plate 5 of this example is a corrugated plate, transmitted light is scattered.

  The frame 4 is a rectangular frame composed of left and right vertical frames 41 and 42 and upper and lower horizontal frames 43 and 44. Each of the frames 41 to 44 is formed in a U-shaped cross section that opens to the inside. A rubber material (buffer material) 6 is inserted into the opening in a state of being folded in a U shape along the opening, and the edge portion of the resin plate 5 is held via the rubber material 6. Has been. On the left and right vertical frames 41, 42, two rubber strings (elastic strings) 7 for preventing contact are stretched up and down along the back surface of the resin plate 5. The ends of the rubber cord 7 are hooked on hooks (not shown) attached to the vertical frames 41 and 42, respectively, and can be removed. It is also possible to hook two or more rubber strings 7 on the hook.

  In the shutter body 2 configured as described above, three screw insertion holes 8 through which the fixing screws 3 are inserted are formed in the upper and lower horizontal frames 43 and 44. Here, the size of the window frame of a general home is determined according to the standard. In this example, the width of the shutter is set to be approximately the same as the width of the screen door 10 and the height of the screen door 10 is the same. The height of the sash 11 is set to be substantially the same. Therefore, screw holes 12 are formed in the sash 11 of the screen door 10 at positions corresponding to the screw insertion holes 8 with a drill or the like, and the fixing screws inserted into the screw insertion holes 8 in these screw holes 12. If the screw 3 is screwed in, the shutter body 2 can be fixed to the sash 11. If the hooks attached to the vertical frames 41 and 42 hit the sash 11 or the like, the spacer member 9 may be sandwiched and fixed.

  In the shutter 1 configured as described above, since the outside light can be taken indoors from the transparent or translucent resin plate 5, the interior is bright. Therefore, unlike the conventional case where the room is dark when the shutter is closed, outside light can be taken indoors even when the shutter is closed. Therefore, the shutter 1 in this example remains closed for a predetermined period. It is suitable for cases that must be done. For example, it is suitable for the case where the snow is attached to the sash in a heavy snow area and is left on during the winter.

  In addition, since the resin plate 5 is made of polycarbonate having excellent impact resistance, weather resistance, heat insulation, etc., in addition to preventing damage to the window glass, which is a function of the original shutter, Can be prevented from escaping from the window.

  Furthermore, since the cross-sectional shape of the resin plate 5 is a waveform, it can scatter outside light and can brighten indoors. Moreover, even when the resin plate 5 is formed transparently, there is an advantage in crime prevention that indoors cannot be seen from the outside.

  Furthermore, since the rubber string 7 for preventing contact is stretched along the back surface of the resin plate 5, the resin plate 5 is deformed by wind pressure or the like, and the generation of noise due to contact with the screen door 10 can be prevented. . Moreover, since the rubber cord 7 is elastically deformed when the resin plate 5 comes into contact, the resin plate 5 can be prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, in this example, since the number of the rubber strings 7 to be spanned can be increased, it is also possible to increase the number according to the wind speed during a typhoon or the like.

Therefore, when the shutter 1 of this example is attached instead of the conventional snow cover, there are advantages described below.
(1) The room is bright.
(2) Appearance is better than the conventional snow cover that only nails are nailed to the sash.
(3) Since it is only fixed with the fixing screw 3, removal is easy.
(4) The room temperature does not drop due to the external heat insulation effect of the shutter 1. In particular, the effect is large in the case of a single sash.
(5) When attached to a bathroom window, the temperature of the hot water in the bathtub does not drop, so it is very economical, such as less boiler fuel. In addition, there is an advantage that the temperature change after pouring is small.

  Therefore, when the shutter 1 of this example is mounted in place of the conventional snow cover attached to the sash in the heavy snow region, the effect can be fully exhibited.

[Other embodiments]
In addition, since the shutter 1 of the said form will be completely fixed to the sash 11, it is inconvenient, for example, when it wants to ventilate. For this reason, for example, it is also possible to fix the frame (shutter body) to the sash via a hinge mechanism so that it can be opened and closed.

  Alternatively, a shutter for sliding the shutter body may be fixed to a sash or the like, and the shutter body may be slid to open and close. When the window frame has a two-door configuration, two rails for the shutters may be prepared and the two shutters main bodies may be switched. If the weight is increased, a support member may be disposed below the shutter rail as necessary.

  Furthermore, when the shutter is used only to prevent snow, since the screen door is not used in winter, the frame may be configured to be detachable from the screen door rail (sash 11). If comprised in this way, a shutter can be easily attached or detached in the way which attaches or detaches a screen door.

  Next, in the said form, although the thing made from a polycarbonate was used as the resin board 5, if it was transparent or semi-transparent, and provided with impact resistance, a weather resistance, etc., other resin materials will be used. Of course, it is also good.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the shutter to which this invention is applied. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the shutter shown in FIG.
