Description

  The present invention relates to a transparent window frame, a transparent crescent and a slightly colored material sheet. Specifically, the window frame is made transparent so that it is not blocked by the window frame and the landscape outside the window is wide. The transparent crescent and the slightly colored material sheet for application to a transparent window frame.

Conventionally, the window frame is entirely opaque regardless of the material, such as metal, wood or plastic. It was common knowledge that the window had an opaque window frame on a transparent window glass. In other words, it has been established that the window frame is opaque. Therefore, in the sliding window with 2 sheets, the scenery outside the window is divided by two frames as if the Japanese character is on the side, and in the window with 4 sheets, it is 1 than the one with the eyes on the side. It seemed to be divided into four. In the present specification, the window frame refers to a frame for fixing the periphery of the window glass.

Even if the sliding window is opened, the two-panel window is almost the same as the frame on one side is eliminated. It just looked like it was almost unchanged.

Recently, it has been recommended to use a double window for eco-friendliness, but plastic windows are widely used as the window frame for the double window. As resin sashes, plastics made of hard vinyl chloride with a heat insulation effect are widespread, and a technique for manufacturing window frames using plastic has been established. Various transparent plastics are also produced, such as acrylic resin, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, polycarbonate resin, vinyl chloride resin, EVA, polypropylene, ABS resin, polyamide resin, etc., with good strength, weather resistance and durability Many are produced.

Although the window frame of the sliding window and the raising / lowering window is mainly targeted, the window frame of other types of windows may be used. For example, there are folding windows and awning windows. Furthermore, the present invention may be applied to window frames of windows for showcases such as refrigerated showcases and display cases in addition to windows for buildings.

The crescent, which is a lock that prevents the window from being opened for the purpose of closing the door, is opaque so that it is attached to the upper or lower part of the window frame so that it is not noticeable.

Most parts of the current crescent are made of plastic, and if you replace it with transparent plastic, most of it will become transparent. The metal part of the latch (the crescent holder and the crescent hand [turned into a crescent semicircle)] is made of metal because of its strength and durability. If this measure is taken, transparent plastic can be used.

Although no prior art documents related to transparent window frames have been found, in the Refrigerated Showcase publication of Patent Document 1 of similar technology, the upper edge sash is made transparent and the interior is brightened with ceiling lighting in the store. We are trying to improve the effect. However, the frame of the transparent door corresponding to the window frame of the present invention remains opaque as usual. Therefore, it is not prior art of the present invention.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-82862 “Refrigerated Showcase”

Conventionally, all window frames were opaque regardless of the material. Therefore, there is a problem that the scenery outside the window appears to be divided by the window frame. Although it was considered as a matter of course until now, it was not regarded as a problem, but the fact that the field of view is blocked by the window frame, especially the window frame of two or more windows, delimits the wide landscape outside the window of the fence that can be seen by the window frame. It was a hindrance.

Window frames were first made of wood, and after a long time, they were also made of iron or aluminum metal. The period of time made with these two materials has been long, and recently it has also been made with plastic. Both wood and metal are opaque, and the period made of these two opaque materials was so long that the idea that the window frame is opaque is believed to have taken root. In other words, it is thought that stereotypes have become established.

Recently, plastic window frames have been made, but the appearance is exactly like wood or painted wood. The window frame was made of opaque materials such as wood and metal, so it is thought that the fixed idea that the window frame is opaque was established.

With regard to the transparent window frame, I searched for the prior art considerably, but I could not find it. The fact that no one has examined transparent window frames so far is considered to be evidence that the fixed idea that window frames are opaque is strong. The fact that plastic bottles are transparent plastic is something that everyone sees everyday. Those skilled in the art should have sufficient knowledge that plastic window frames are widespread, and that the plastic material is often colorless and transparent. From this, it is considered that it was supported by how difficult it was to conceive and conceive a transparent window frame. If you can easily think of a transparent window frame, there should be prior art.

In the conventional crescent, both the metal part for fixing and the part of the handle made of metal or plastic (the part for rotation) are opaque.

Even if the window frame is transparent, if the crescent is opaque, even if it is small, it will be obstructive and hinder the scenery outside the window.

Even in the case of a window frame made of a transparent plastic, in some cases, there is a problem that the transmitted light becomes thinner than light that slightly absorbs color and passes through the glass.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve these problems, make the window frame and the crescent transparent, and the scenery outside the window is separated by the opaque window frame, without being obstructed by the opaque crescent. It is to provide a transparent window frame that looks wide like a horizontally wide picture. Furthermore, in the window frame in which the adjacent window frame is made transparent and the window frame perpendicular to this is made opaque, most of the window frames can be left as they are. Provide window frames that match the pillars. The object is to provide a slightly colored material sheet for pasting on a transparent window frame in order to make up for the slightly changed landscape color by a transparent window frame and to bring it close to the original color.

By making the window frame and the crescent transparent, the landscape outside the window is separated by the conventional opaque window frame, and it is as if it is a horizontally wide picture without being obstructed by the opaque crescent. It is intended to compensate for the slightly changed color of the landscape by making it look wide and a transparent window frame, and to bring it close to the original color even if it is slightly.

The transparent window frame 11 according to claim 1 is made of a transparent material.

Transparency may not be colorless and transparent in a strict sense, but may be slightly colored and transparent. Any material that is transparent and suitable for window frames can be used. The present invention does not simply replace the conventional opaque material of the window frame with a transparent material. By replacing it with a transparent material, it is intended to have a great effect that the scenery outside the window becomes very good as if it were a wide picture.

The material of the window frame 11 may be anything as long as it is transparent. Currently, the material that can be used for the transparent window frame 11 is plastic, but any material other than plastic, such as glass and tempered glass, can be used in the future as long as it is transparent and can be used for the window frame 11.

In order to make the whole window transparent, the joint material 14 for fixing the window glass 12 to the window frame 11 also needs to be transparent. At present, an elastic, colored plastic or rubber extruded product is used for the joint material 14. If a plastic such as EVA or PVC containing a plasticizer is used, a colorless and transparent elastic plastic extrusion can be obtained.

The transparent window frame 11 according to claim 2 is the one according to claim 1, wherein the transparent material is transparent plastic.

Plastics have advanced greatly, and various plastics that are transparent and suitable for the window frame 11 have been produced. Among them, it should be selected in consideration of durability, workability, and price. For example, as described above, there are polycarbonate, acrylic resin, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), ABS resin, polyamide resin, and the like. The shape of the window frame 11 may be the same as that of the window frame 11 of the prior art.

  The transparent window frame 11 according to claim 3 includes a window frame 11 parallel to the moving direction of the window shoji (in this specification, the window glass 12 is fixed around the window glass 12). Claim 1 or claim 2 made opaque.

In the case of a sliding window, the window shoji moves in the horizontal direction, so the horizontal window frame 11 is made opaque, and in the case of the raising and lowering window, it moves in the vertical direction, so the vertical window frame 11 is made opaque. Is.

The sliding window generally has 2 to 4 window shojis arranged in the horizontal direction. Of these, the horizontal window frames 11 on the top and bottom are opaque but have a narrow width, and are in contact with the duck and the sill. Since the amount of the scenery outside the window is small and the influence on the scenery outside the window is small, only the vertical window frame 11 is made transparent.

  The vertical window frame on the left and right of this window is narrow, but its width is narrow and there is little amount to block the scenery outside the window. Since the influence on the landscape is small, only the horizontal window frame 11 is made transparent.

  The transparent window frame 11 according to claim 4 is the one according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the window frame 11 perpendicular to the adjacent window frame 11 of the continuous window shoji is made opaque. Adjacent window frames 11 are adjacent window frames 11.

In sliding windows, folding windows, etc., the adjacent window frames 11 are in the vertical direction, and the window frames 11 perpendicular to the window frames 11, that is, the horizontal window frames are made opaque. In the awning window, adjacent window frames are in the horizontal direction, and the vertical window frames 11 at both ends perpendicular thereto are made opaque.

  The transparent window frame 11 according to claim 5 is the one according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein corners of the window frame 11 are rounded.

Even if a transparent material is used, if the corners of the window frame 11 are sharp, the corners of the window frame 11 are conspicuous and look linear when viewing the scenery outside the window. It is a thing. To round is to make a corner of the cross-sectional shape a curve by adding a so-called R. The size of R (radius) may be determined by trial and error.

If you try to set R = 3mm, the corners will not stand out. When R is made large, the corner becomes inconspicuous, but becomes unnatural as the window frame 11. I tried R = 20mm, but there is no sense of incongruity. These numerical values do not restrict the shape of the window frame 11.

The transparent window frame 11 which concerns on Claim 6 is a thing of any one of Claims 1-5 which attached the crescent 13 to the upper part or the lower part of the window frame 11, or both the upper part and the lower part. is there.

The crescent 13 is important for the door lock. The crescent 13 is configured so that the sliding window is not moved for closing the door and is kept in close contact with each other so as not to pass wind and rain. It comprises a crescent receiver 131 bent into a U-shape and a crescent-shaped crescent hand 132 that is hooked on the crescent receiver 131 and turned into a semicircle. Since it is opaque when an off-the-shelf product is used, the crescent 13 is attached by moving from the central part that is annoying to the upper part or the lower part or both the upper part and the lower part.

  The window crescent 13 according to claim 7 is configured such that the parts of the meshing portion are made of metal and the other parts are made of transparent plastic. It's not just changing other parts to transparent plastic. By changing to transparent plastic, there is an effect to reduce the part that becomes annoying when looking at the scenery outside the window.

The parts of the meshing portion refer to the crescent receiver 131 and the crescent hand 132. The other parts refer to the handle 133 or the like that opens and closes the crescent.

  The crescent 13 for windows according to claim 8 is configured such that all parts are made of transparent plastic.

Since the parts of the meshing portion, that is, the crescent receiver 131 and the crescent hand 132 need strength and durability, a plastic having a high strength is selected, and a shape such as increasing the thickness of the part is also considered. A part other than the meshing part is a handle 133.

  The slightly colored material sheet 8 according to claim 9 is attached to a transparent window frame 11 in which an adhesive 81 application surface of a slightly thin transparent sheet with an adhesive 81 applied on one side is bonded to a release paper 82. It is a supplementary one.

Even in the window frame 11 made of transparent plastic, there is a problem that when light passes through, the color slightly absorbs color and the transmitted light becomes slightly thinner than light that passes through the glass.
In order to compensate for this, a transparent thin sheet that is slightly colored according to the color of the scenery outside the window may be attached to a transparent window frame. For example, if the landscape is characterized by the green color of garden trees, the landscape is characterized by faint green, if the landscape is characterized by sky blue or sea blue, the landscape is slightly pale blue, and the landscape is characterized by red or sunrise. If there is, paste a transparent thin sheet with a slightly light red color. An adhesive is applied on one side for pasting.

In the first aspect of the invention, since the window frame 11 is transparent, the scenery outside the window is not divided by the opaque window frame 11 as in the conventional window frame 11, as if it is a horizontally or vertically long picture. It has the effect of being widely visible. The term “longitudinal” refers to a case where window shojis are arranged in the vertical direction, such as a raising / lowering window and an awning window.

In the invention of claim 2, since the window frame 11 is transparent, the scenery outside the window is not divided by the opaque window frame 11 as in the conventional window frame 11, as if it is a horizontally or vertically wide picture. There is an effect that it looks wide.

In the invention of claim 3, since the window frame 11 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the window shoji is transparent, the landscape outside the window is not divided by the opaque window frame 11 as in the conventional window frame 11, as if it is horizontally long. Alternatively, there is an effect that it looks wide like a vertically long picture. Furthermore, since the window frame 11 of the prior art can be used for the window frame 11 in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the window shoji, the production efficiency is improved, and the window frame 11 that is suitable for pillars and walls can be used. There is.

In the invention of claim 4, since the window frame 11 adjacent to the window shoji or the window frame parallel thereto is transparent, the vertical window frame is transparent in the sliding window and the folding window, and the horizontal window is used in the awning window. The frame is transparent. Therefore, the scenery outside the window is not divided by the opaque window frame 11 as in the conventional window frame 11, and there is an effect that it looks as wide as a horizontally or vertically wide picture.

The invention of claim 5 has an effect that the corners of the window frame 11 are not noticeable when the scenery outside the window is viewed because the corners of the transparent window frame 11 are rounded.

In the invention of claim 6, when the window frame 11 is transparent, the crescent 13 is attached to the upper part or the lower part or both the upper part and the lower part. There is an effect that the landscape can be seen better than the normal one attached to the center.

  The invention according to claim 7 has an effect that the crescent is not conspicuous because it is a crescent for a window in which the parts of the meshing portion are made of metal and the other parts are made of transparent plastic.

  Since the invention of claim 8 is a crescent for a window in which all parts are made of transparent plastic, the crescent is inconspicuous.

  When the slightly colored material sheet 8 according to claim 9 is attached to the transparent window frame 11, the slightly colored color supplements the color of the blue sky, the green color of the garden, and the colors of the morning sun and the sunset. .

It is the perspective view and cross-sectional perspective view which show the transparent window frame 11 of Example 1. FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a transparent window frame 11 of Example 2. It is a side view which shows the transparent window frame 11 of the raising / lowering window of Example 3. FIG.

It is a perspective view which shows the crescent 13 of Example 5 and Example 6. FIG. It is a cross-sectional perspective view and a conceptual diagram showing a slightly colored material sheet 8 of Example 7.

  The purpose of making the scenery outside the window look wide as if it were a horizontally or vertically wide picture without being separated by the opaque window frame 11 was realized by making the window frame 11 transparent.

The transparent window frame of Example 1 is demonstrated based on FIG. FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing a sliding window 1 and a room made of a window frame of the prior art. The window frame 11 of the four-piece sliding window 1 is opaque and the whole has a shape in which one frame is added to the side of the eyes. The crescent 13 is attached to the central portion.

  Next to the left and right sides of the sliding window 1, there is a wall 2, a floor 3 below, and a ceiling 4 above. There is also a wall 2 above the sliding window 1.

FIG. 1B is a perspective view showing the sliding window 1 and the room made of the transparent window frame 11 of the present invention. In the window frame 11 of the prior art (A), the crescent 13 is attached to the center portion, but in the window frame 11 of the present invention (B), the crescent 13 is attached to the upper portion and the lower portion. The crescent 13 is opaque so that it does not become obstructive. The crescent 13 may be either the upper part or the lower part. The rightmost window has a horizontal window frame 11 in the middle. Usually, a horizontal window frame is not attached to the middle stage, but a window frame may be attached to the middle stage when a transparent glass is placed on the upper side and an embossed glass is put on the lower side or a screen door is used. This middle window frame may also be transparent.

As shown in (C), in order to attach the window glass 12 to the transparent window frame 11, a joint material 14 is fitted between the window glass 12 and the window frame 11. As the joint material 14, a colored elastic extruded product is used in the prior art, but in the present invention, a transparent and elastic plastic extruded product such as EVA or PVC containing a plasticizer is used. . The shape may be the same as that of the prior art. The window glass 12 is airtightly attached to the window frame 11 by the joint material 14, and rain wind does not enter the room. The transparent window frame of Example 1 has an effect that the scenery outside the window looks wide like a horizontally wide picture.

The transparent window frame of Example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the sliding window 1 and the room made of the window frame 11 of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the vertical window frame 11 is transparent, but the horizontal window frame 11 is an opaque window 1. Others are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Although the horizontal window frame 11 is opaque, there is not much difference in how the landscape is seen from the whole window, so it remains opaque and only the vertical window frame 11 is transparent.

  The transparent window frame of Example 2 uses the conventional window frame 11 for the horizontal window frame 11 in addition to the effect that the scenery outside the window looks wide like a horizontally wide picture. As a result, the production efficiency is improved.

  The transparent window frame of Example 3 is demonstrated based on FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the raising and lowering window. The raising / lowering window is composed of two window shojis arranged one above the other and the window shojis movable up and down. (A) shows the closed state of the conventional raising / lowering window. Two window screens are lined up and down, making it look like a Japanese character.

  (B) shows the state which opened the window shoji under the conventional raising / lowering window a little. It is like an explanatory view of a raising / lowering window.

  (C) shows the closed state of the raising and lowering window of the present invention. The window frame 11 is completely transparent. A dotted line shows the transparent window frame 11.

  (D) shows a closed state of only the window frames (horizontal window frames) 11 adjacent to each other among the window frames 11 of the raising and lowering windows of the present invention. A dotted line shows the transparent window frame 11. Since the window frames 11 adjacent to each other are made transparent, the state of the window is such that the shape of the mouth is elongated from the shape of the sun up and down. Substantially, it is not much different from what made the whole window frame 11 transparent.

    In addition to the effect that the transparent window frame of the third embodiment looks wide like a vertically long landscape, the vertical window frame 11 can use the conventional window frame 11. Therefore, the production efficiency is improved.

The transparent window frame of Example 4 is demonstrated based on FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the window frame 11 in which the corners 111 are all rounded. Except that the corner portion 111 is rounded, it is the same as that of the first embodiment.

(B) is a cross-sectional view of the vertical window frame 11 in contact with the pillar 5. The corner 111 of the surface in contact with the column 5 is not rounded. Since it is in contact with the pillar 5, it is not necessary to add roundness to make the corner portion 111 inconspicuous.

(C) is a cross-sectional view of the lower window frame 11 in the horizontal direction and in contact with the sill 6. The face that touches the threshold 6 is not rounded because it is not necessary. The lower surface is in contact with the rail 61 of the sill 6.

FIG. 4D is a cross-sectional view of the upper window frame 11 in the horizontal direction and in contact with the Kamoi 7. The surface that touches Kamoi 7 is not rounded because it is not necessary to be rounded. The upper surface is in contact with the rail 71 of the Kamoi 7. The transparent window frame of Example 4 has an effect that the corners of the window frame 11 are not noticeable when the scenery outside the window is viewed because the corners of the transparent window frame 11 are rounded.

In the crescent 13 of the fifth embodiment, the fastener is metal, and the other parts are transparent plastic. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A is a perspective view showing the crescent receiver 131. The crescent receptacle 131 hangs the crescent hand 132 shown below on the U-shaped portion. The crescent receiver 131 is made of metal.

The crescent receptacle 131 and the crescent 132 hand shown in FIG. 5 are basic ones. Even if it deform | transforms this, what is necessary is just to hang a semicircle-shaped hanging part on the U-shaped part.

  The crescent 13 of the fifth embodiment has no problem in terms of strength and durability because the fastener portion, that is, the crescent receptacle 131 and the crescent hand 132 are made of metal. The other part or handle 133 is a transparent plastic. Since the fastening part is made of metal, it is strong, and the pattern part is transparent, so that the crescent is less noticeable.

The transparent crescent 13 of Example 6 will be described with reference to FIG. Similarly to the fifth embodiment, FIG. 5A is a perspective view showing the crescent receiver 131. The crescent receiver 131 hangs the crescent hand 132 shown below on the U-shaped portion. The crescent receiver 131 is made of transparent plastic. Choose a strong plastic. If there is a problem in terms of strength, countermeasures may be taken by shape, such as increasing the thickness.

FIG. 5B is a perspective view showing the crescent hand 132. The crescent hand 132 is a crescent-shaped fastener that hangs the tip portion on the U-shaped portion of the crescent receiver 131 and turns it into a semicircle to fasten the window 1. The crescent hand 132 is made of transparent plastic. Choose a strong plastic. If there is a problem in terms of strength, countermeasures may be taken by shape, such as increasing the thickness.

Similar to the fifth embodiment, if it is basically the same, it may be modified.

Since all the parts of the transparent crescent 13 according to the sixth embodiment are transparent, the crescent 13 is less noticeable and can be attached to the center of the window frame.

The slightly colored material sheet 8 of Example 7 is demonstrated based on FIG. FIG. 6A is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the slightly colored material sheet 8 attached to the transparent window frame 11. The slightly colored sheet 8 is a transparent thin sheet that is slightly colored, and is obtained by applying an adhesive 81 on one side and bonding the release paper 81 together.
