  For example, in Patent Document 1, a main arm having one end pivotally attached to the upper part of the shoji screen and the other end lower than the one end, and one end pivoted to the middle part of the saddle. The other end is pivotally attached to the lower part of the frame, and has a sub-arm that is longer than the main arm, and the center of gravity of the shoji with the one end of the sub-arm and the window closed is collinear. Natural ventilation windows have been proposed, each of which is located in the area.

  By the way, in such a natural ventilation window, due to the rotation of the main arm and the sub arm, the position of one end of the sub arm and the center of gravity of the shoji, the rotation toward the fully opened position of the building given to the shoji is opened. Since the moment also increases, it is difficult to lighten the opening closing movement based on the airflow of the shoji on the opening fully open position side and increase the opening closing movement based on the airflow of the shoji on the opening fully closing position side.

According to such a preferable example, the shoji can be balanced at the opening fully opened position without attaching a weight or the like to the shoji, and the movement of the shoji toward the opening opening direction of the shoji is stopped without using a stopper or the like. In addition, the opening and closing movement based on the airflow of the shoji at or near the opening fully open position can be lightened.

  In a preferred example of the natural ventilation window of the present invention, the opening / closing means further includes an engaging member for engaging the shoji with the window frame defining the opening so as to maintain the fully closed state of the shoji by the shoji. .

  In a preferred example of the natural ventilation window of the present invention, the first support mechanism is configured to support the upper arm side of the shoji so as to be movable up and down, and the other parts of the shoji are located on the upper arm of the shoji. It is arranged so as to be located outside the building with respect to the center of gravity of the shoji that is located below the part and is in the fully closed position of the opening. According to such a preferable example, the opening can be closed and opened particularly in response to an increase and a decrease in the air flow from the outside of the building to the inside of the building.

  1 to 3, the natural ventilation window 1 of this example includes a shoji 2 and an opening / closing means 5 that causes the shoji 2 to open and close the opening 4 of the building based on the airflow 3. The natural ventilation window 1 opens as shown in FIG. 3 by opening opening movement of the shoji 2 toward the outside 6 side of the building, and opens as shown in FIG. 1 by opening closing movement of the shoji 2 toward the inside 7 of the building. 4 is to be closed.

  The opening 4 is defined in a window frame 11 installed in the building. The window frame 11 has an upper frame 12, a lower frame 13, and a pair of vertical frames 14 and 15. As shown in FIG. 1, the upper frame 12, the lower frame 13, and the vertical frames 14 and 15 are fitted with seal members that contact the shoji 2 in the fully closed position of the opening.

  The shoji 2 is attached to the window frame 11 through the opening / closing means 5. The shoji 2 has a rectangular shoji main body 21 made of a glass plate or the like, an upper eave 22, a lower eave 23, and a pair of vertical eaves 24 and 25. The parts 33 of the vertical shafts 24 and 25 to which the support shaft 51 is attached protrude in the outside 6 side of the building in this example.

  The opening / closing means 5 includes a support mechanism 32 for supporting the part 31 on the upper arm 22 side of the shoji 2 so as to be movable up and down and rotatable in the R1 direction around the horizontal axis S1, and the shoji positioned below the part 31. 2 in order to maintain the fully closed state of the opening by the shoji 2, and the support mechanism 34 that supports the part 33 of the building 2 to be movable in the direction A inside and outside the building and to be rotatable in the R2 direction around the horizontal axis S2. An engaging member 35 for engaging the shoji 2 with the defined window frame 11 is provided. The parts 31 and 33 are provided on the vertical shafts 24 and 25, respectively. The horizontal axes S1 and S2 extend in a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction V and the inside / outside direction A of the building. The inside / outside direction A of the building is also a horizontal direction (direction in a horizontal plane) H in this example, but is a direction inclined upward or downward with respect to the horizontal direction H from the inside 7 of the building toward the outside 6 of the building, for example. Also good.

  The support mechanism 32 includes a support shaft 41 extending in the horizontal direction H mounted on each of the part 31 of the vertical shaft 24 and the part 31 of the vertical shaft 25, and the vertical support V so that the support shaft 41 is linearly guided in the vertical direction V. And a guide member 42 extending in the vertical direction V mounted on each of the frames 14 and 15.

  The guide member 42 has a U-shaped cross section so as to form a groove 43 extending in the vertical direction V. A support shaft 41 is arranged in the groove 43 so as to be movable in the vertical direction V and rotatable about the horizontal axis S1. The guide member 42 is formed to be the same as or longer than the distance that the support shaft 41 moves linearly in the vertical direction V as the shoji 2 opens and closes. A rolling roller may be attached to the portion of the support shaft 41 arranged in the groove 43. The support mechanism 32 further includes a stopper that abuts the support shaft 41 at the position in order to prevent the support shaft 41 from descending from the position of the support shaft 41 with respect to the guide member 42 in the fully opened state. It may be.

  The part 31 centering on the horizontal axis S1 is located above the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the opening closed position. In this example, the part 31 is located slightly on the 7 side in the building with respect to the center of gravity G in the direction A inside and outside the building. Such a support mechanism 32 is configured to support the portion 31 so as to be linearly movable in the vertical direction V.

  The support mechanism 34 is configured so that the support shaft 51 extending in the horizontal direction H, which is attached to each of the portion 33 of the vertical shaft 24 and the portion 33 of the vertical shaft 25, and the support shaft 51 are linearly guided in the direction A inside and outside the building. And a guide member 52 that is attached to each of the vertical frames 14 and 15 and extends in the inside / outside direction A of the building.

  The support shaft 51 and the part 33 centering on the horizontal axis S2 are located above the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the fully closed position of the opening and are located on the outside 6 side of the building with respect to the center of gravity G. The part 33, the support shaft 51, and the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the fully open position are located on the same line extending in the vertical direction V, respectively.

  The guide member 52 has a long hole 53 extending in the inside / outside direction A of the building. A support shaft 51 is disposed in the long hole 53 so as to be able to move directly in the direction A inside and outside the building and to rotate about the horizontal axis S2. The guide member 52 is formed to be the same as or longer than the distance in which the support shaft 51 moves linearly in the direction A inside and outside the building as the shoji 2 is opened and closed. One end 54 on the outside 6 side of the building that defines the elongated hole 53 of the guide member 52 is to prevent the support shaft 51 from moving to the outside 6 side of the building than the position of the support shaft 51 in the fully opened state. In addition, it has a function as a stopper that comes into contact with the support shaft 51. A rolling roller may be attached to the portion of the support shaft 51 disposed in the long hole 53.

  A line connecting the portion 33 and the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the fully closed position of the opening is inclined with respect to a line extending in the vertical direction V, and the inclination angle is increased as the shoji 2 approaches the fully opening position of the opening. It becomes 0 degree when the shoji 2 is arranged at the fully open position of the opening. Such a support mechanism 34 is configured to support the part 33 so as to be movable in the horizontal direction H in the building inside / outside direction A.

  The engaging member 35 is an L-shaped lever that is rotatably mounted on the lower rod 23. The lever is rotated against the lower frame 13 on the side of the building 7 by being rotated in the fully closed state. Thus, the shoji 2 is engaged with the window frame 11. Movement of the shoji 2 that is engaged with the window frame 11 installed in the building by the engaging member 35 toward the fully opened position of the shoji 2 is prohibited by the engaging member 35 so as to be releasable.

  The window opening / closing operation by the natural ventilation window 1 will be described below. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the opening opening movement of the shoji 2 in the fully closed position of the opening is permitted by releasing the engagement between the shoji 2 and the window frame 11 by the engaging member 35. When the engagement is released, the shoji 2 in the opening fully closed position is directed to the opening fully open position because the portion 33 is located on the outside 6 side of the building with respect to the center of gravity G in the inside / outside direction A of the building. A rotational moment in the R2 direction is applied. The shoji 2 to which such a turning moment is applied and the movement toward the fully open position of the opening is permitted is rotated in the R2 direction toward the fully open position of the opening. The support shaft 41 descends along the groove 43 along with the rotation in the R2 direction. When the shoji 2 reaches the fully open position as shown in FIG. 3, the portion 33 and the center of gravity G are located on the same line extending in the vertical direction V, so that the rotational moment in the R2 direction is not applied to the shoji 2. The rotational moment in the R2 direction toward the fully open position of the shoji 2 gradually decreases as the shoji 2 is gradually moved from the fully open position to the fully open position. As described above, since the rotational moment gradually decreases, it is possible to prevent rapid opening of the shoji 2 from being opened. Conversely, when the shoji 2 is gradually moved from the fully open position to the fully closed position, the rotational moment in the R2 direction applied to the shoji 2 toward the fully open position gradually increases.

  As described above, when the shoji 2 is arranged at the fully open position, if the outside 6 side of the building becomes positive pressure and the inside 7 side of the shoji 2 becomes negative pressure with respect to the shoji 2 due to the air flow 3, the shoji 2 is based on the air flow 3. When a turning moment in the R2 direction toward the fully closed position of the opening is applied, the shoji 2 moves toward the open closed position, and when the shoji 2 is further moved toward the fully closed position based on the airflow 3, Since the part 33 is located outside the building 6 with respect to the center of gravity G, the shoji 2 is given a anti-movement force toward the fully open position against the fully open position based on the airflow 3, and thus The anti-movement force gradually increases as the shoji 2 approaches the fully closed position of the opening. Thus, even if the airflow 3 is small, the shoji 2 can be opened and closed based on the airflow 3, and the rapid opening and closing of the shoji 2 can be prevented.

  The natural ventilation window 1 of the present example includes a support mechanism 32 that supports the part 31 on the upper arm 22 side of the shoji 2, a lower part with respect to the part 31, an upper part with respect to the center of gravity of the shoji 2, and a fully closed opening A support mechanism 34 for supporting the other part 33 of the shoji 2 located on the outside 6 side of the building with respect to the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the position. A first support mechanism that supports a part on the side of the heel 23 so as to be able to move up and down and turn around a horizontal axis; And a second support mechanism that supports the part so that it can move in and out of the building A and turn around a horizontal axis, and the other part of the shoji 2 can be fully closed. Located above the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the position, and located on the side of the building 7 with respect to the center of gravity G It may be arranged in the jar. The natural ventilation window 1 provided with such first and second support mechanisms can also provide the above-described and later-described effects.

  According to the natural ventilation window 1 described above, the shoji 2 and the opening / closing means 5 for causing the shoji 2 to open and close the opening 4 of the building based on the airflow 3 are provided. And a support mechanism 32 that supports the part 31 on either side of the lower rod 23 so as to be movable up and down and rotatable in the R1 direction around the horizontal axis S1, and a shoji positioned below or above the part 31 2 is provided with a support mechanism 34 that is movable in the direction A in and out of the building and is rotatable in the R2 direction around the horizontal axis S2, and the portion 33 is in the fully closed position of the opening. Since it is located above the center of gravity G of a certain shoji 2 and is located on either one of the outside 6 or inside 7 of the building with respect to the center of gravity G, it is on the opening fully open position side. Open and move the opening and closing movement based on the airflow 3 of the shoji 2 The opening / closing movement based on the airflow 3 of the shoji 2 on the fully closed position side can be increased, and thus the ventilation can be favorably performed by the opening / closing movement based on the airflow 3 of the shoji 2 on the opening fully open position side. Moreover, the rapid opening / closing movement of the shoji 2 on the side of the fully closed position of the opening can be prevented, and the support mechanism 32 allows the part 31 on either the upper arm 22 or the lower arm 23 of the shoji 2 to be moved. Since the support mechanism 34 supports the part 33 of the shoji 2 so as to be movable in the direction A inside and outside the building, the shoji 2 is supported outside the building 6 and inside the building when the opening 4 is opened. 7 can be projected only on one side.

  According to the natural ventilation window 1, the part 33 of the shoji 2 in the fully open position and the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 are located on the same line extending in the vertical direction V, so a weight or the like is attached to the shoji 2. Therefore, the shoji 2 can be balanced at the fully open position of the opening, and the movement of the shoji 2 toward the opening opening direction can be stopped without using a stopper or the like, and the shoji at or near the opening fully open position. The opening and closing movement based on the airflow 3 of 2 can be lightened.

  In the natural ventilation window 1, the support mechanism 32 is configured to support the part 31 on the upper arm 22 side of the shoji 2 so as to be movable up and down, and the part 33 of the shoji 2 is the part 31 on the upper arm 22 side of the shoji 2. May be arranged on the outside 6 side with respect to the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the fully closed position, and in such a case, in particular, from the outside 6 to the building The opening 4 can be closed and opened according to the increase and decrease of the air flow 3 toward the inside 7. In the natural ventilation window 1, the support mechanism 32 is configured to support the lower arm 23 side of the shoji 2 so that it can be raised and lowered. May be arranged so as to be located on the side of the building 7 with respect to the center of gravity G of the shoji 2 in the fully closed position, and in such a case, in particular, in the building 7 The opening 4 can be closed and opened according to the increase and decrease of the air flow 3 from the outside to the outside of the building 6.
