Description

  The present invention relates to a continuous window provided in an opening of a building, and a method for manufacturing the same.

  Due to diversification of buildings in recent years, various types of so-called opening devices such as windows and doors provided in each part of the building have been proposed. In such an opening device, there is a window called a continuous window. The continuous window is a window in which one unit is formed by a window unit including a frame and a panel provided in the frame, and the window units are arranged vertically and horizontally. In general, a window in which window units are arranged horizontally is often referred to as a continuous window, a window in which window units are arranged in a vertical direction is referred to as a stepped window, and a window in which window units are arranged in a horizontal and vertical direction is often referred to as a continuous window. However, since there is no limitation by that, here, for the sake of easy understanding, the term “continuous window” is used as a general term for the continuous window, the stage window, and the continuous window.

  In the continuous window, a gap is generated in a portion between the window units on the outer peripheral end face. Therefore, it is necessary to fill the gap and stop the water. Conventionally, a plate-like member is disposed here, and a wet seal is placed around the plate-shaped member. Patent Document 1 describes that a vertical frame reinforcing material is provided between upper and lower vertical frames, and a dry sealing material is provided on one surface side thereof.

Japanese Patent No. 2789174

However, the conventional method of disposing a plate-like member and placing a wet seal member around the plate-like member often results in insufficient water stoppage. In addition, the water stoppage performance greatly changed due to the difference in skills by the installer, and there were problems in appearance.
Moreover, according to the vertical frame reinforcement member described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to prevent variation in water stop performance due to a difference in the skill of the installer as compared with a wet seal member. However, even in such a case, water may be transmitted between the dry sealing material and the vertical frame and water may enter.

  Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the continuous window provided with the water stop structure which can stop water easily and reliably, and its manufacturing method in view of the said problem.

  The present invention will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

The water-stopping member (50, 60) has an adhesive on the surface directed to the window unit and is attached to the window unit so as to cover the gap between the window units. The seal member (52, 62) and the surface of the seal member opposite to the surface having the adhesive Cover members (51, 61) arranged so as to overlap the seal member from the side so as to cover the gap between the window units, and fixing members (53, 63) that pass through the cover member and the seal member and are fixed to the window unit. ).

  In the invention according to claim 2, the gaps (C, G) formed between the window units (10, 20, 30, 40) on the outer peripheral end face of the continuous window (1) are stopped and the continuous window is formed. A method of manufacturing, a step of attaching a sealing member (52, 62) so that a surface having an adhesive faces a window unit and covers a gap, and a surface opposite to the surface having an adhesive of the sealing member A step of arranging the covering members (51, 61) so as to overlap the sealing member and covering the gap, a step of fixing the fixing members (53, 63) to the window unit through the covering member and the sealing member, It is a manufacturing method of the continuous window provided with.

According to the present invention, the water stoppage can be improved in the gap formed between the window units of the continuous window. Specifically, the sealing member is brought into close contact with the vertical frame by an adhesive to stop water. Furthermore, the sealing member can be further pressed by the covering member, and the water stop can be further ensured.
Moreover, the structure is simple, construction is easy, and it is possible to obtain a certain water-stopping performance regardless of the installer.

  The above-described operation and gain of the present invention will be clarified from embodiments for carrying out the invention described below. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a continuous window 1 according to one embodiment, and is a view seen from the side which becomes the outdoor side when attached to a building. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the continuous window 1 is formed by arranging window units 10, 20, 30, and 40 vertically and horizontally and connecting them. And the water stop member 50, 50, 60 is arrange | positioned in the connection part in the outer peripheral edge part of the continuous window 1. FIG.

  The window units 10, 20, 30, and 40 are upper horizontal frames 11, 21, 31, and 41 as horizontal frames, lower horizontal frames 12, 22, 32, and 42 as horizontal frames, and left and right vertical frames 13 and 14, respectively. , 23, 24, 33, 34, 43, 44 and these are framed to form frame bodies 15, 25, 35, 45. Panels 16, 26, 36, 46 are arranged in the frames of the frame bodies 15, 25, 35, 45.

The horizontal frames 11, 21, 31, 41, the lower horizontal frames 12, 22, 32, 42, and the left and right vertical frames 13, 14, 23, 24, 33, 34, 43, 44 are formed as the continuous window 1. It has a shape that can be connected to an adjacent window unit. The shape for such connection is not particularly limited, and it is possible to apply a mode similar to the conventional one.
That is, in the continuous window 1, the vertical frame 14 of the window unit 10 and the vertical frame 23 of the window unit 20 are connected in the left-right direction (continuous window direction), and the vertical frame 34 of the window unit 30 and the window unit. Forty vertical frames 43 are connected. Further, the lower horizontal frame 12 of the window unit 10 and the upper horizontal frame 31 of the window unit 30 are connected in the vertical direction (stage window direction), and the lower horizontal frame 22 of the window unit 20 and the upper horizontal frame of the window unit 40 are connected. 41 is connected.

  The panels 16, 26, 36, 46 are fixed to the inside of the frame body by fixing the outer peripheral ends to the frame bodies 15, 25, 35, 45 of the window units 10, 20, 30, 40. It is a face material. Usually, as the panel, a single-layer glass panel or a multi-layer glass panel is applied, or a so-called shoji screen provided with a ridge at the outer peripheral end of these panels may be arranged.

  The water blocking members 50, 50 are the vertical frame 13, the vertical frame 33, and the vertical frame arranged on the outer peripheral portion of the continuous window 1 among the window units 10, 30 and the window units 20, 40 arranged vertically. 24 is a member that is arranged across the vertical frame 44 and stops water such as rainwater to enter from here. FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the portion indicated by II in FIG. FIG. 3 shows an exploded perspective view of FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the water stop member 50 includes a covering member 51, an adhesive seal member 52, and fixing members 53 and 54.

The covering member 51 is a member in which a metal plate-like member is formed in a substantially L shape, and includes a covering plate 51a and a standing piece 51b as the other piece as one L-shaped piece. Yes. The covering plate 51a is provided with a hole 51c penetrating in the plate thickness direction. The standing piece 51b is also provided with a hole 51d penetrating in the thickness direction. The width (the size indicated by A in FIG. 3) and the length (the size indicated by B in FIG. 3) of the covering plate 51a are estimated directions between the vertical frames 13 and 33 indicated by C in FIG. The gap C is formed so as to be covered.
Of the surface of the covering plate 51a of the covering member 51, a cushion sheet having cushioning properties is provided on the surface opposite to the side on which the standing piece 51b is erected (the surface that cannot be seen as the back side in FIG. 3). It may be affixed.
Here, although the material of the covering member is metal as an embodiment, it is not limited to this. However, metal is preferable from the viewpoint of its strength, workability, and cost, and it is more preferable that the material is the same as that of the frames 15, 25, 35, 45 in view of the appearance.

The adhesive seal member 52 is a seal member having an adhesive layer on one surface side. Although the material of the said sheet | seat is not specifically limited, The thing by a butyl rubber or an acrylic resin is preferable. The other surface is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to have a surface layer made of aluminum from the viewpoint of mounting workability of the adhesive seal member 52 and compatibility with sealing around the sash. An example in which an aluminum tape is affixed can be given.
The thickness of the adhesive seal member 52 is not strictly limited, but is preferably 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm. This is because if it is thinner than 0.5 mm, the water-stopping tendency tends to be lowered, and if it is thicker than 1.0 mm, there is a tendency that a problem arises in the flexibility of deforming following the shape.
The size of the adhesive seal member 52 only needs to cover the gap C appearing in FIG. Preferably, the width indicated by D in FIG. 3 is larger than the width A of the cover plate 51a described above. As a result, the sealing performance can be ensured. However, the width D is not necessarily larger than the width A. This is because the width D may be smaller than the width A from the viewpoint of appearance.

The fixing member 53 is a member that is screwed into the tapping hole 12 a of the lower horizontal frame 12 that appears in FIG. 3 and fixes the covering portion 51 a of the covering member 51 so as to overlap the adhesive seal member 52. On the other hand, the fixing member 54 is a member that is screwed into a portion (not shown) of the vertical frame 13 and fixed so that the standing piece 51 b of the covering member 51 overlaps the adhesive seal member 52. In this embodiment, a screw is shown as a fixing member from the viewpoint of easy construction and secure fixing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a rivet or the like may be used as the fixing member.
In this embodiment, the fixing members 53 and 54 are dedicated members for attaching the water stop member 50. That is, the fixing member used for connecting the window unit 10 and the window unit 30 can be fixed independently. Thereby, since the water stop member 50 is attached after connecting a window unit and determining the shape, it becomes possible to improve water stop.

The water stop member 50 as described above is attached as follows, for example, so as to pass the lower part of the vertical frame 13 and the upper part of the vertical frame 33.
When the window unit 10 and the window unit 30 are connected in the vertical direction, the lower horizontal frame 12 and the upper horizontal frame 31 are connected. However, in this case, a gap C is formed between the lower end of the vertical frame 13 and the upper end of the vertical frame 33 in the prospective direction as can be seen from FIG.

  Therefore, after the window unit 10 and the window unit 30 are connected, the adhesive seal member 52 is disposed so as to close the gap C. The adhesive layer is attached to the vertical frame 13 and the vertical frame 33 with the gap C side facing. At that time, as in the present embodiment, in addition to the gap C formed in the prospective direction, the gap C is bent so as to include a part of the gap formed continuously in the finding direction. You may arrange.

Next, the covering member 51 is disposed so as to overlap from above the adhesive seal member 52. In that case, the covering plate 51a is directed in the prospective direction and the standing piece 51b is directed in the direction of finding.
Then, the fixing member 53 is attached so as to be screwed into the tapping hole 12a of the lower horizontal frame 12. That is, the fixing member 53 passes through the hole 51c of the cover plate 51a and the adhesive seal member 52 and is fixed to the lower horizontal frame 12. On the other hand, the fixing member 54 passes through the hole 51d of the standing piece 51b and the adhesive seal member 52 and is fixed to the building frame.

As described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive seal member 52 is firmly attached to the vertical frame 13 and the vertical frame 33, and water stoppage is reliably performed. Furthermore, the covering member 51 further presses the pressure-sensitive adhesive seal member 52 and presses the pressure-sensitive adhesive seal member 52 to improve the water-stopping property. Further, if the fixing members 53 and 54 are dedicated members for attaching the water stop member 50, the water stop member can be fixed independently of the fixing member used for connecting the window units. Accordingly, since the water-stopping member is attached after the window units are connected and their shape is determined, the water-stopping property can be further improved.
And since such a sealing member is a simple structure, it is possible to obtain high water-stopping performance irrespective of the skill of the installer. Furthermore, it becomes the water stop structure excellent also from the viewpoint of external appearance, and it can be set as the favorable external appearance as a continuous window.

  The water blocking member 60 is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the upper window units 10 and 20 among the left and right window units. That is, the water stop member 60 is a member that is disposed between the upper horizontal frame length 11 and the upper horizontal frame 21 and prevents water such as rainwater from entering from here. FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of the portion indicated by IV in FIG. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of FIG.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, the water blocking member 60 includes a covering member 61, an adhesive seal member 62, and fixing members 63 and 64.

The covering member 61 is a member in which a metal plate-like member is formed in a substantially L shape, and includes a covering plate 61a and an upright piece 61b which is the other piece as one L-shaped piece. Yes. The covering plate 61a is provided with a hole 61c penetrating in the plate thickness direction. The standing piece 61b is also provided with a hole 61d penetrating in the thickness direction. The width (size indicated by E in FIG. 5) and length (size indicated by F in FIG. 5) of the covering plate 61a are expected between the upper horizontal frames 11 and 21 indicated by G in FIG. It is formed so that the gap G formed in the direction can be covered.
Of the surface of the covering plate 61a of the covering member 61, a cushion sheet having cushioning properties is provided on the surface opposite to the side where the standing piece 61b is erected (the surface that cannot be seen as the back side in FIG. 5). It may be affixed.
Here, although the material of the covering member is metal as an embodiment, it is not limited to this. However, metal is preferable from the viewpoint of its strength, workability, and cost, and it is more preferable that the material is the same as that of the frames 15, 25, 35, 45 in view of the appearance.

The adhesive seal member 62 is a seal member having an adhesive layer on one surface side. Although the material of the said sheet | seat is not specifically limited, The thing by a butyl rubber or an acrylic resin is preferable. The other surface is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to have a surface layer made of aluminum from the viewpoint of mounting workability of the adhesive seal member 52 and compatibility with sealing around the sash. An example in which an aluminum tape is affixed can be given.
The thickness of the adhesive seal member 62 is not strictly limited, but is preferably 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm. This is because if it is thinner than 0.5 mm, the water-stopping tendency tends to be lowered, and if it is thicker than 1.0 mm, there is a tendency that a problem arises in the flexibility of deforming following the shape.
The size of the adhesive seal member 62 only needs to cover the gap G in FIG. Preferably, the width indicated by H in FIG. 5 is larger than the width E of the cover plate 61a described above. As a result, the sealing performance can be ensured. However, the width H is not necessarily larger than the width E. This is because the width H may be smaller than the width E from the viewpoint of appearance.

The fixing member 63 is screwed into a U-shaped groove (not shown) (which may be a tapping hole) that appears between the upper horizontal frame 11 and the upper horizontal frame 21 so as to sandwich the covering member 61 and the adhesive seal member 62. A member to be fixed. On the other hand, the fixing member 64 is a member that is screwed into a building housing (not shown) and fixed so that the standing piece 61 b of the covering member 61 overlaps the adhesive seal member 62. In this embodiment, a screw is shown as a fixing member from the viewpoint of easy construction and secure fixing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a rivet or the like may be used as the fixing member.
In the present embodiment, the fixing members 63 and 64 are dedicated members for attaching the water stop member 60. That is, the fixing member used for connecting the window unit 10 and the window unit 60 can be fixed independently. Thereby, since the water stop member 60 is attached after the window unit is connected and its shape is determined, it is possible to improve water stop.

The water stop member 60 as described above is attached as follows, for example, so as to pass one end of the upper horizontal frame 11 and an end portion of the upper horizontal frame 21 disposed so as to abut against the upper horizontal frame 11.
When the window unit 10 and the window unit 20 are connected in the horizontal direction, the vertical 14 and the vertical frame 23 are connected. However, in this case, a gap G is formed between the one end of the upper horizontal frame 11 and the end of the upper horizontal frame 21 in the prospective direction as can be seen from FIG.

  Therefore, after the window unit 10 and the window unit 20 are connected, the adhesive seal member 62 is disposed so as to close the gap G. The adhesive layer is attached to the upper horizontal frame 11 and the upper horizontal frame 21 with the gap G side facing. At this time, as in the present embodiment, in addition to the gap G formed in the expected direction, it is bent so as to include a part of the gap formed continuously in the found direction in the gap G. You may arrange.

Next, the covering member 61 is disposed so as to cover the adhesive seal member 62. At that time, the covering plate 61a is oriented in the prospective direction and the standing piece 61b is oriented in the direction of finding.
The fixing member 63 is attached so as to be screwed into a U-shaped groove (not shown). That is, the fixing member 63 is fixed through the hole 61c of the cover plate 61a and the adhesive seal member 62. On the other hand, the fixing member 64 passes through the hole 61d of the standing piece 61b and the adhesive seal member 62 and is fixed to the building frame.

As described above, the adhesive seal member 62 is firmly attached to the upper horizontal frame 11 and the upper horizontal frame 21, and water stoppage is reliably performed. Furthermore, the water blocking property can be improved by the covering member 61 further pressing and pressing the adhesive seal member 62. Further, if the fixing members 63 and 64 are dedicated members for attaching the water stop member 60, the water stop member can be fixed independently of the fixing member used for connecting the window units. Accordingly, since the water-stopping member is attached after the window units are connected and their shape is determined, the water-stopping property can be further improved.
Moreover, since the seal is also a simple structure, it is possible to obtain a high water stoppage performance regardless of the skill of the installer. Furthermore, it becomes the water stop structure excellent also from the viewpoint of external appearance, and it can be set as the favorable external appearance as a continuous window.

As described above, the water sealing members 50 and 60 provide reliable sealing at the outer peripheral portions of the window units 10, 20, 30 and 40. And it becomes possible to provide the continuous window 1 with favorable water stop.
Although the water stop of the left and right side end surfaces and the upper end surface of the continuous window 1 has been described here, the water stop between the lower horizontal frame 34 and the lower horizontal frame 43 related to the lower end portion may be configured similarly to the above. In addition, as described above, a continuous window, a step window, and a continuous window are collectively referred to as a continuous window. Can be applied.
