DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a frame structure of a top light used for an entrance, an arcade or the like, and more particularly to a frame structure of a top light having an overall arch shape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, when a top light having an arch shape is formed, a frame is formed by a round structure and a horizontal member attached to a side surface of the round structure material, and the frame is previously curved on the frame. Attach a glass plate or
Alternatively, a flat plastic panel is attached while being curved in accordance with the frame. However, the above-mentioned method of attaching a pre-curved glass plate is extremely costly because it is difficult to bend the glass, and especially the glass plate of a large top light is transported after the bending process or to a frame. In practice, implementation was difficult due to the difficulty of the mounting work.

On the other hand, when a plastic panel is used while being curved, the structure is relatively simple, but there is a problem in that the plastic panel has a problem in fire prevention and is not permitted as a building. . Therefore, the frame structure of the top light conventionally used generally has a plurality of rod-shaped vertical members 1 attached as shown in FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (B) and FIGS. 8 (A), (B) and (C). The polygonal arch-shaped structural member 3 is formed by sequentially connecting via the metal fittings 2, and the horizontal ridge 4 is attached to the side surface of the polygonal arch-shaped structural member 3 via the U-shaped fixture 5. .

[0004]

However, in the frame structure of the conventional top light having the above-mentioned structure, the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the polygonal arch-shaped structural member 3 are formed in a polygonal shape by a plurality of rod-shaped vertical members 1. Therefore, it has a feature that a flat glass plate (not shown) can be attached to the outer surface of each rod-shaped vertical member 1, but on the other hand, the processing accuracy of the connecting portion of each rod-shaped vertical member 1 is required. In order to form a uniform and uniform polygon, skill is required, and there is a problem that excessive labor is required. Further, the above-described frame structure has many connecting points, and the joints of the connecting points communicate with the inner and outer surfaces of the frame structure, so that there is a problem that the treatment of water leakage and dew condensation is complicated. Furthermore, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional frame structure, since the polygonal shape of the polygonal arched structural material 3 appears inward as it is, there is a problem that the appearance is poor even in the design.

The frame structure of the top light according to the present invention is a completely new technique developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and particularly enables the arch-shaped structural material to be constructed with a simple operation and reliably. Another object of the present invention is to provide a top light frame structure which facilitates the treatment of water leakage and dew condensation and has a very good design.

[0006]

The frame structure of the top light according to the present invention is a technique which is a fundamental improvement of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the gist of the invention is to provide an arch structure material having an arch shape, In a top light frame including a plurality of rod-shaped auxiliary vertical members attached to the outer peripheral surface of the round structural member and a horizontal ridge attached to the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member, the lower surface of each of the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical members is A top light frame structure characterized in that it is cut out with a crescent curved surface that matches the outer peripheral surface curvature of the radius structural member.

[0007]

The frame structure of the top light according to the present invention is as follows.
As described above, since a plurality of rod-shaped auxiliary vertical members are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the arcuate structural member having the arch shape, the assembling work can be simplified and reliably performed. Since the lower surface of the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member is cut out with a crescent curved surface that matches the outer peripheral surface curvature of the round structural member, the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the round structural member with high accuracy. Can be mounted and fixed.

[0008] Since the joint at the connecting point of the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical members does not communicate with the inside of the frame structure, it is very easy to treat water leakage. Furthermore, since the inside of the frame structure is made of an arched structure material having an arch shape, the inside of the frame structure is formed with a perfect round shape, and the appearance is very good in design.

[0009]

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, reference numeral 11 denotes an aluminum round structural member, which is entirely curved in an arch shape. As is apparent from FIG. 4, the radius structural member 11 is formed by protruding ridges 11 b on both sides of the upper surface of the rectangular cylindrical body 11 a, and forming dew condensation receiving ribs 11 c on both sides of the upper part. 12 is a rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member,
The whole is formed in a straight bar shape. As shown in FIG. 4, in particular, the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member 12 is provided with a boss 12b standing upright at the center of the upper surface of a downward U-shaped cylindrical body 12a, and packing grooves 12c provided on both sides of the upper surface. Further, the lower surface of the downward U-shaped cylindrical body 12a of the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member 12 is
In particular, as apparent from FIG. 2, a notch 12d having a crescent curved surface that matches the curvature of the outer peripheral surface of the radius structural member 11 is provided.

Numeral 13 denotes a horizontal ridge, and as is apparent from FIG. 5, a screw hole ridge 1 is formed at the center of the upper surface of the flat rectangular cylinder 13a.

The lower end of the downwardly facing U-shaped cylindrical body 12a is brought into contact with the outer side of the projection 11b of the round structural member 11, and these are connected by screws 14, thereby forming a rod-shaped auxiliary member. 12 can be attached and fixed to the round structural member 11.

In attaching and fixing the horizontal support 13 at the connecting position of the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member 12, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, a U-shaped mounting bracket 15 is used. The sleeve can be attached and fixed by abutting the inner surface of the flat rectangular cylinder 13a of the horizontal support 13 and connecting these with screws 14.

[0014]

The frame structure of the top light according to the present invention has the above-described structure and operation. Therefore, the top light frame structure is constituted by the arch-shaped round structure material and the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member having a crescent-shaped notch on the lower surface. A frame having an arch shape and capable of mounting and fixing a flat roof material as it is can be simply and accurately constructed. In these frames, there is no fear of water leakage since the joint of the connecting portion of the rod-shaped auxiliary vertical member does not extend to the inside of the frame. Further, since the inside of the frame structure is made of a seamless R-structured material, it has an effect such as an extremely beautiful design.
