On both front and rear surfaces of the column (3), there are provided engagement members (22) (described later) projecting from the rear surfaces of the glass panel (G), the panel (P), and the baseboard (H) described later. The locking holes (5) are bored side by side in the vertical direction.
[0010]
Next, the glass panels (G) attached to the front and rear surfaces of both columns (3) and (3), and edge protection materials attached to the side edges thereof will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. I do.
[0011]
The glass panel (G) is a horizontally long rectangular glass plate, and circular through holes (6) are formed at three locations on the left and right sides of the glass panel.
[0012]
The synthetic resin edge protector (7) attached to the left and right side edges of the glass panel (G) so as to cover the side edges has a length substantially equal to the height of the glass panel ( G ) . It has a substantially U-shape in plan view in which the outer ends of a front piece (8) and a back piece (9) facing each other in parallel are connected to each other.
[0013]
In the state before being attached to the glass panel (G), the edge protection material (7) is almost closed at the open ends of the front piece (8) and the back piece (9). ) And the back piece (9) are expanded so that a hollow portion (10) having a front and rear width substantially equal to the thickness of the glass panel (G) is provided between the front piece (8) and the back piece (9). ) Is formed.
[0014]
At the outer end of the back piece (9), a bulging portion (11) bulging toward the column (3) is formed, and at the inner end of the back piece (9), a glass panel ( A contact piece (12) that comes into contact with the side surface of the column (3) when G) is attached to the column (3) is protruded toward the column (3).
[0015]
A rib (13) projecting from the back piece (9) between the contact piece (12) and the bulging portion (11) toward the column (3) by the same length as the bulging portion (11); A locking ridge (14) protruding from the support (3) by a distance slightly shorter than the rib (13) is provided, and the locking ridge (14) and the bulging portion (11) are provided on opposite sides. Are provided with locking claws (15) (15).
[0016]
At the top and bottom of the back piece (9) between the left and right locking claws (15) and (15), locking holes (16) having the same size and shape as the through holes (6) are formed. At the upper end and the lower end of the support (3) side surface of the protruding portion (11), a square mounting hole (17) for mounting a later-described locking bracket (22) is formed.
[0017]
After elastically deforming the open ends of the front piece (8) and the back piece (9) in a direction away from each other, the side edges of the glass panel (G) are fitted into the hollow portions (10), The side end of (G) is fitted into the engagement groove (10a) formed in the back end of the hollow part (10), and the front piece (8) and the back piece (9) are moved toward each other. When the elasticity is returned to the above, the inner surfaces of the front piece (8) and the back piece (9) are pressed against the front and rear surfaces of the glass panel (G), so that the through-hole (6) and the locking hole (16) are aligned.
[0018]

The engaging shaft (19) of the engaging member (21) having a knob (20) narrower than the base piece (18) protrudes from the through hole (6) and the engaging hole (16). And the right and left ends of the base piece (18) are fitted between the locking claws (15) and (15) and the back piece (9), and the engaging shaft (19) is inserted into the through hole (6). ) And the locking hole (16) so that the edge protecting member (7) is attached to the side of the glass panel (G).
[0019]
The locking metal fittings (22) formed by bending metal pieces are formed on both left and right ends of a rectangular base piece (23), facing the glass panel (G) side, and having a lower edge formed in a step shape. Outwardly extending fitting pieces (24) and (24) are continuously provided, and outward support pieces (25) and (25) are formed at ends of both fitting pieces (24) and (24). At the same time, an engaging step (26) parallel to the back piece (9) is formed at the edge of the locking piece (24) on the side of the edge protecting material (7).
[0020]
Insert both locking pieces (24) into the mounting holes (17) while elastically deforming them toward each other, and elastically outwardly fit both fitting pieces (24) and (24) inside the bulging portion (11). After returning, both fitting pieces (24) and (24) are pressed against both side surfaces of the mounting hole (17), and the support pieces (25) and (25) engage with the side edge of the back surface of the mounting hole (17). At the same time, the engaging metal parts (22) are attached to the upper and lower mounting holes (17) by abutting the engaging steps (26) and (26) against the surface of the back piece (9).
[0021]
The two glass panels (G) and (G) as described above are connected to the front and rear of the frame (2) by engaging the upper and lower locking fittings (22) with the locking holes (5) of the column (3). It is attached to the upper part and the central part in the up-down direction on both sides, and it is attached up and down.
[0022]
Below the lower glass panel (G), a normal panel (P) and a skirting board (H) are engaged with a locking fitting (not shown) protruding from the back surface of the supporting column (3). By engaging with the hole (5), the frame (2) is attached to the lower part of both front and rear surfaces.
(27) is an upper cover that covers the upper surface of the frame (2), and (28) is a side cover that covers both sides of the frame (2).
[0023]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, a hollow bulge (11) is formed in the edge protection material (7), and a gap between the bulge (11) and the glass panel (G) is used. Since the latch (22) is engaged with the mounting hole (17) of the bulging portion (11), the latch (22) can be easily and securely attached to the edge protection member (7). it can.
[0024]
In addition, the edge protection member (7) can be easily and securely attached to the side edge of the glass panel (G), and the engaging member (21) has the through hole (6) and the locking hole (16). , The edge protection member (7) can be easily removed from the glass panel (G).
[0025]
When the edge protecting material (7) is put on the glass panel (G), the end of the glass panel (G) fits into the engagement groove (10a). It does not move in any direction.
[0026]
In the present embodiment, only the side edges of the glass panel (G) are covered with the edge protection material (7), but the upper edge and the lower edge of the glass panel (G) are not shown. It may be covered with a lateral edge protection material having a cross section similar to that of the edge protection material (7).
[0027]
