DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting glass on a frame such as a shoji or a door.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A shoji screen, a door, and the like have a glass frame mounted inside a rectangular frame-shaped frame assembly, and a glass mounting structure disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-17866 is known. In other words, each frame constituting the frame assembly is composed of a frame body and a ridge, and an L-shaped protruding piece is formed on the frame body and the ridge, and the ridge is moved from the in-plane outside to the inside, and then moves out of the plane. By doing so, the L-shaped projections are engaged with each other to connect the ridge to the frame body.

[0003] With such a structure, each frame body is framed in a rectangular frame shape, glass is mounted, and then a ridge is moved from the outside in the plane to the inside of the frame body, and then moved out of the plane. The edge of the ridge can be cut at 45 degrees and butt-connected.

That is, the normal ridge is connected to the frame body by moving from the inside to the outside in the in-plane direction, or the ridge is swung in the out-of-plane direction to be snap-connected to the frame body to connect the ridge to the frame body. Even if the sealing material for supporting the glass pushed in the out-of-plane direction deteriorates or is damaged, the pushing edge is prevented from coming off the frame body.

[0005] For this reason, when the end face of the ridge is cut at 45 degrees, the two opposite ridges can be connected to the frame body. However, when connecting the remaining ridges to the frame body, the ends interfere with each other to connect. Since the end face of the ridge is cut at 90 degrees and connected, and the end face of the vertical and horizontal frame material of the mounting frame such as a window frame or a door frame is cut at 45 degrees and connected, the connecting portion of the mounting frame The appearance design of the connecting part of the frame assembly differs from that of the frame.

[0006] On the other hand, the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model 1-1878.
In the case of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6 (1994), since the connecting portion of the frame assembly can be formed at 45 degrees, the appearance is similar to that of the connecting portion of the mounting frame.

[0007] However, the aforementioned Japanese Utility Model No. 1-187
In the glass mounting structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 86, the sliding edge is moved from the outside in the in-plane direction to the inside, and then is moved in the out-of-plane direction.
Since the mold protrusions are engaged with each other and connected, the L-shaped protrusions are separated from each other by moving the ridge to the opposite side in the out-of-plane direction, and the ridge is detached from the frame body. .

For this purpose, the sealing material supporting the glass prevents the ridge from moving to the opposite side in the out-of-plane direction. If the sealing material is deteriorated or damaged, the ridge is moved to the opposite side in the out-of-plane direction. May fall off the frame itself and fall off.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a glass mounting structure for a frame assembly which can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0010]

The upper frame 1 having the inward concave portion 24, the lower frame 2 having the inward concave portion 34, and the left and right vertical frames 3 and 3 having the inward concave portion 44 are formed by setting the end face of each frame to an angle other than 90 degrees. The frame assembly 4 is butt-connected as an angle to form a frame assembly 4.
In a glass mounting structure of a frame assembly in which the frame body is attached by an out-of-plane direction one-side sealing material 8 and an out-of-plane direction other-side sealing material 9, at least one of the frames is formed by connecting a frame body 6 and a ridge 7. The frame body 6 has a substantially L-shaped inner surface 6a formed by a first surface A facing the in-plane direction and a second surface B facing the out-of-plane direction. The first and second engagement receiving pieces 15 and 16 are provided at intervals in an out-of-plane direction, and the pressing edge 7 has a substantially hook shape with a vertical plate 20 and a horizontal plate 21. The second engaging pieces 22 and 23 are spaced apart from each other in the out-of-plane direction, and the ridge 7 moves from the inside to the outside in the in-plane direction with respect to the frame assembly 6 and moves to the other side in the out-of-plane direction. By doing so, the first and second engagement pieces 22 and 23
The second engaging receiving pieces 15 and 16 are engaged to be connected to the frame main body 6, and the end face 6 a of the frame main body 6 is brought into contact with the end faces of the two opposing frames toward the outside in the in-plane direction; The end surface 7a of the ridge 7 is in contact with the inward end of the two opposing frames, and the vertical plate 20 of the ridge 7 can be inserted between the inward recess of the two opposing frames and the glass 5. The frame mounting structure of the frame assembly in which the horizontal plate 21 can be inserted between the glass 5 and the second surface B of the frame body 6.

[0011]

[Operation] The frame body 6 and another frame are framed in a square shape, and the ridge 7 can be fastened to the two opposing frames in a state where the glass 5 is temporarily mounted inside the frame. In this state, the edge 7a of the edge 7 can be butt-connected to the end faces of the two opposing frames by moving the edge 7 from the inside to the outside in the in-plane direction and then to the other side in the out-of-plane direction. This allows the connection of each frame to be at an angle other than 90 degrees,

Next, the dimensional relationship between the frame body 6 and the ridge 7 of the upper frame 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Dimension L ₂ of the first and second interlock reception portion 15, 16 and the dimensions L ₁ between the glass support piece 14 and the transverse plate 21 of the ledge 7 first and second locks 22, 23
It is larger, the out-of-plane projection length of the glass support piece 14, that is, the out-of-plane position L ₃ of the glass support portion 14a of the frame body 6.
Is such that (L ₄ −L ₃ ) is greater than the thickness L _{5 of the} glass 5 + the thickness L ₆ of the vertical plate 20.
5 and the second engagement receiving piece 16 are spaced apart from each other in the out-of-plane direction.
2, the distance between the second engagement receiving piece 16 and the out-of-plane direction side plate 10 is larger than the out-of-plane dimension of the second engagement piece 23. However, L ₄ is expected dimensions of the stile body 6.

Thus, the glass 5 is placed on the glass support plate 14.
The pressing edge 7 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 4 in a state in which the pressing edge 7 is pressed, and thereafter, the pressing edge 7 is moved upward, that is, from the inner side to the outer side in the in-plane direction, and is moved to the other side in the out-of-plane direction. The mating pieces 22 and 23 can be engaged with the first and second engagement receiving pieces 15 and 16 to connect the ridge 7 to the frame body 6. That is, the pressing edge 7 can be connected to the frame main body 6 by moving in the direction of arrow a while the glass 5 is pressed against the glass supporting piece 14.

Next, the assembling work will be described. Both ends of the lower frame 2 and lower ends of the left and right vertical frames 3 are cut and connected at an angle other than 90 degrees, for example, approximately 45 degrees. 5, the end faces 6a and 3a are cut at an angle other than 90 degrees, for example, about 45 degrees, and are butt-connected, and the frame body is shifted toward the outside in the in-plane direction on the end face 3a of the vertical frame 3. 6, the end face 6a is abutted and connected, and the inward portion 3b in the in-plane direction remains as a ridge connection part.

After the lower frame 2, the left and right vertical frames 3, and the frame main body 6 are connected in a rectangular frame as described above, the glass 5 is temporarily mounted in a laterally fastened manner.

Thereafter, the ridge 7 is connected to the frame body 6,
The end face 7a of the pressing edge 7 also has an angle other than 90 degrees, for example, approximately 4 degrees.

It is necessary to move toward one side in the out-of-plane direction, but in this case, both ends of the ridge 7 interfere with the out-of-plane other side plate 41 of the vertical frame 3.

5 and 6, the inner connecting plate 43 of the vertical frame 3
Then, the upper portion of the glass support piece 45, that is, the connecting portion of the upper frame 1 is cut and removed. The expected dimension L ₇ between the glass support piece 45 and the other end plate 41 in the out-of-plane direction is the thickness L of the glass 5.
₅ + thickness L ₆ of the vertical plate 20 of the ridge 7 is larger than that.

On the other hand, the other side plate 11 of the frame main body 6 in the out-of-plane direction.
A vertical gap S is formed between the inner end surface 11a of the vertical frame 3 and the upper end surface 5a of the glass 5 so that the horizontal plate 21 of the ridge 7 can be inserted. Is the ridge 7
An out-of-plane gap in which the vertical plate 20 can be inserted occurs.

Therefore, the pressing edge 7 is inclined with respect to the frame main body 6, and the horizontal plate 21 is inserted into the above-mentioned vertical gap S and moved in one longitudinal direction to move the vertical plate 20 to the surface of the vertical frame 3. Inserted in the out-of-plane gap between the outer side plate 41 and the glass 5 to the state shown by the dashed line in FIG. 4, and thereafter, the ledge 7 is moved upward (from the inside to the outside in the in-plane direction) shown by the arrow b in FIG. The first and second engagement pieces 22 and 23 are moved and the first and second engagement
When the pressing edge 7 is moved to the other side in the out-of-plane direction to engage the first and second engaging pieces 22 and 23 with the first and second engaging receiving pieces 15 and 16, At the same time, the pushing edge 7 is moved in the other longitudinal direction so that the end face 7a contacts the remaining portion 3b on the end face 3a of the vertical frame 3.

Thereafter, the out-of-plane one-side sealing material 8 and the out-of-plane other-side sealing material 9 are attached, and the glass 4 is supported on the upper frame 1, the lower frame 2, and the left and right vertical frames 3.

In the above embodiment, the lower frame 2 and the left and right vertical frames 3 are formed into an integral shape having an inward concave portion, so that the framework of the frame assembly is simplified. The frame body and the ridge may be formed in the same manner as the upper frame 1 shown. In this case, the frame body and the ridge may be connected to form a rectangular frame, or the ridge of the lower frame 2 may be formed of the upper frame 1. The frame may be connected after being framed similarly to the ridge.

[0029]

The frame body 6 and the other frames are framed in a square shape.
