BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel shutter in which rectangular panels inserted in a frame are vertically connected by a roller chain or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a panel shutter of this type is provided with a transparent frame 1, which is framed by upper and lower horizontal frames 2, 3 and left and right vertical frames 4, 5 made of an extruded aluminum material. A rectangular panel 6 made of a synthetic resin plate or a glass plate is inserted. Also, the frame 1 has a plurality of vertical rails 7 which drop and hold a rectangular panel 6 to be inserted into the frame 1.
Are provided at predetermined intervals, and the vertical bars 7 reinforce the strength of the rectangular panel 6 against wind pressure, and the rectangular panel 6 bends due to the wind pressure, and the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel 6 fall out of the panel grooves of the horizontal frames 2 and 3. Is preventing that.

[0003]

However, the panel shutter in which the vertical rails 7 are provided in each frame 1 is not neatly designed, and the panel shutter is provided in the frame 1 by an amount corresponding to the vertical rails 7 provided. There is a problem in that the lighting efficiency of the transparent square panel 6 that is embedded is reduced.

In order to eliminate the need for the vertical bar 7, as shown in FIG. 5, a dovetail neck, a sickle neck 8 and the like are formed on both sides along the upper and lower ends of a rectangular panel 6 made of a synthetic resin plate. In addition to forming the grooves 9 and 9, the side frames 2 and 3 are formed with a panel groove 10 to be fitted with a dovetail neck, a sickle neck 8, and the like.
Although means for firmly holding the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel 6 in the panel groove 10 is used, this means is applicable only to a thick rectangular panel 6 having a plate thickness of 5 to 6 mm or more. It was impossible to apply the method to a thin rectangular panel 6 having a plate thickness of 2 mm or less in which the grooves 9, 9 cannot be cut. Therefore, the present invention allows the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel to be securely held on the upper and lower horizontal frames of the frame regardless of the thickness of the rectangular panel, so that there is no need to provide a vertical rail in the frame. Is a technical issue.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To solve this problem, the present invention provides a panel shutter comprising a plurality of rectangular panels, each of which is inserted into a frame, connected vertically.
Along the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel inserted into the panel groove of the horizontal frame above and below the frame, fasteners projecting from the panel surface of the rectangular panel are planted, and the panel groove of the horizontal frame is provided. Along the inside, a concave groove for inserting and holding the fastener implanted at the upper end or the lower end of the rectangular panel inserted from the side end of the panel groove is formed.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel inserted into the panel grooves of the horizontal frame forming the upper and lower sides of the frame are fixed by the fasteners implanted along the ends. Is securely held in the panel groove of the horizontal frame in which the concave groove for inserting and holding is formed. Thus, even if a vertical rail is not provided in the frame, there is no fear that the rectangular panel inserted in the frame is bent by wind pressure and the upper and lower ends thereof fall out of the panel groove of the horizontal frame. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the vertical rails from the inside of the frame, to increase the lighting efficiency of the transparent rectangular panel, and to make the overall appearance of the panel shutter very neat.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main part showing a first embodiment of a panel shutter according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main part showing a second embodiment of the panel shutter, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view showing an example of FIG.

In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, metal staples 11 are implanted at predetermined intervals along the upper and lower ends of a rectangular panel 6 made of a transparent synthetic resin plate. At the same time, the upper end or the lower end of the rectangular panel 6 which is inserted from the side end of the panel groove 12 along each panel groove 12 formed in the horizontal frames 2 and 3 which form the top and bottom of the frame 1 as shown in FIG. A concave groove 13 is formed to insert and hold the protruding portion of each staple 11 implanted in the staple.

As a result, the rectangular panel 6 inserted into the frame 1 is securely held so that the upper and lower ends thereof do not fall out of the panel grooves 12 of the horizontal frames 2 and 3 even when subjected to wind pressure. Therefore, unlike the conventional product shown in FIG. 4, there is no need to provide a plurality of vertical rails 7 in the frame 1 to prevent the rectangular panel 6 from bending due to wind pressure. Can be designed to have a cleaner appearance, and at the same time, the lighting efficiency of the transparent rectangular panel 6 can be increased. Further, since it is not necessary to cut the grooves 9 along the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel 6 unlike the conventional product shown in FIG. 5, the strength of the portions where the grooves 9, 9 are formed may be weakened. In addition, even in the case of a thin rectangular panel 6 in which the grooves 9, 9 cannot be formed, the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel 6, 3
Can be securely held in the panel groove 12.

Next, in the second embodiment of FIG. 2, pins 14 made of synthetic resin or metal are planted at predetermined intervals on the panel surface of a rectangular panel 6 made of a synthetic resin plate or a glass plate.
Each of the pins 14 is, for example, screwed such that a female screw pin and a male screw pin inserted from both sides thereof into holes formed at predetermined intervals along upper and lower ends of a rectangular panel 6 made of a glass plate so as to sandwich the rectangular panel 6. Or a method that matches
Each pin 14 is fixed so that it does not fall off from the rectangular panel 6 by using a method such as a spring pin that press-fits into the hole from one side of the hole.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, a pin driving machine 15 is used to connect a metal pin 14 heated to a high temperature by a heater 16 mounted on the driving machine 15 to a rectangular panel made of a synthetic resin plate. 6, the pin 14 may be fixed to the rectangular panel 6 by re-hardening the synthetic resin softened and melted by the heat. By doing so, the pins 1 are previously set along the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel 6.
There is no trouble of providing a hole for planting the pin 4 or fixing the planted pins 14 one by one. The rectangular panel 6 made of a synthetic resin plate is provided with a pin 14 heated by a heater 16.
Is softened by the high heat of the pin 14, so that there is no risk of cracking due to the impact when the pin 14 is driven. Further, if a groove 18 for regulating the protruding height of the pin 14 is formed in the receiving base 17 of the pin driving machine 15 on which the rectangular panel 6 is positioned and mounted, each pin 14 is connected to both ends of the rectangular panel 6. Since the plant is implanted so as to protrude evenly from the panel surface, the upper and lower ends of the rectangular panel 6 can be smoothly inserted into the panel grooves 12 of the side frames 2 and 3.

The metal staple 11 shown in FIG.
Also, if the rectangular panel 6 made of a synthetic resin plate is driven so as to penetrate in a heated state, the rectangular panel 6
There is no risk of cracking, and the pressure applied when driving the staple 11 can be very small.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the vertical frame provided to reinforce the strength against the wind pressure of the rectangular panel is eliminated from the frame in which each rectangular panel forming the panel shutter is inserted. This makes it possible to make the appearance of the entire panel shutter very neat, and at the same time, when each square panel is transparent, it is possible to increase the lighting efficiency of the panel, which is a very excellent effect.
