BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1 to 4 show an embodiment of the glass fixing structure according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a vertical member, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the same, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the same.
[0009]
First, the glass fixing structure shown in this embodiment is such that a pair of right and left vertical members 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and a pair of upper and lower horizontal members 20 shown in FIGS. And a gasket mounting groove 11 for mounting a vertical gasket 30 and a horizontal gasket 40 for fixing the glass 1 on the inner peripheral side of the opening of the vertical member 10 and the horizontal member 20, respectively. , 21 are provided.
[0010]
The gasket mounting groove 11 provided in the vertical member 10 has locking step portions 12 for locking the gasket on both side walls near the groove bottom, and has a shape in which the opening side is slightly widened. The vertical gasket 30 mounted in the gasket mounting groove 11 has a substantially hat-shaped cross-sectional shape, and the gasket is mounted on the substrate 31 along the expected surfaces (inner peripheral surfaces) on both sides of the gasket mounting groove 11. A fitting projection 32 protrudes in a direction in the mounting groove 11, and a locking ridge 33 for locking to the locking step 12 is provided on both ends of the fitting projection 32. The outer surface width of the side wall of the fitting projection 32 is formed smaller than the inner surface width of the gasket mounting groove 11, and the inner side of the fitting projection 32 has a glass groove into which the end of the glass 1 is inserted. 34.
[0011]
At the opening of the glass groove 34, glass support portions 35 extending from the substrate portion 31 into the glass groove 34 are provided. The glass supporting portion 35 is formed integrally with the other portion of the hard synthetic resin by a soft synthetic resin having an appropriate elasticity, and is spaced apart from the opening end of the glass groove 34 toward the groove bottom. Extends so that it gradually narrows. The distance between the glass supporting portions 35 is such that a glass having a thickness in the range of 3 to 6.8 mm used for a normal partition can be inserted by elastic deformation of the soft synthetic resin, and both sides of the glass are supported. It is set so that the glass 1 can be supported in a stable state.
[0012]
In other words, when supporting the thin glass 1 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the glass supporting portion 35 supports the glass 1 in a slightly elastically deformed state, and supports the thick glass 1a shown by the imaginary line. Is formed so as to support the glass 1a in a state where the glass supporting portion 35 is elastically deformed to a position indicated by an imaginary line. Further, as described above, since the side wall of the fitting projection 32 is formed narrower than the gasket mounting groove 11, when the thick glass 1a is inserted, the side wall of the fitting projection 32 is formed. Also deforms in the direction in which it spreads to absorb differences in glass thickness.
[0013]
In addition, since the deformation in the direction in which the side wall portion expands acts to increase the locking force between the locking step 12 and the locking ridge 33, the vertical gasket 30 is securely fitted into the gasket mounting groove 11. State. Further, since the tip bulging portion 36 of the fitting projection 32 is pressed against the bottom surface of the gasket mounting groove 11, the locking ridge 33 is deformed in a direction in which the locking ridge 33 is spread out. The locking force with the locking ridge 33 can be increased.
[0014]
On the other hand, the gasket mounting groove 21 provided in the cross member 20 is a gasket in which the inner circumferential side expected surface of the cross member 20 is opened with a predetermined width, and a gasket whose groove inner side is expanded in the opening. A holding side 22 is provided. The horizontal gasket 40 mounted in the gasket mounting groove 21 is formed by a gasket main body 42 having a fitting projection 41 fitted into the gasket mounting groove 21 and a glass pressing member 50 engaging with the gasket main body 42. Have been.
[0015]
The gasket main body 42 has a substrate portion 43 having a length from a position along a prospective surface on one side of the gasket mounting groove 21 to a position covering most of the opening of the gasket mounting groove 21. The fitting projection 41 protruding into the gasket mounting groove 21, the projection 44 provided at the base of the fitting projection 41 and abutting on the gasket holding side 22, and the middle part of the back surface of the substrate part 43. A reinforcing side 45 is provided, and an engaging groove 46 for engaging the engaging side 51 of the glass pressing member 50 is provided between the substrate portion 43 and the one convex portion 44. . At the end of the substrate portion 43 opposite to the engagement groove 46, a glass support side 47 is provided which protrudes in a curved state toward the inner peripheral side of the opening, and the tip of the glass support side 47 is provided with the vertical gasket 30. Similarly, a glass support portion 48 made of a soft synthetic resin is provided.
[0016]
The glass pressing member 50 has a glass support side 52 curved in the same shape as the glass support side 47 of the gasket main body 42. 53 are provided. At the tip of the engagement side 51, an engagement protrusion 54 is provided which engages with the engagement groove 46 to prevent the glass pressing member 50 from being removed.
[0017]
When the thin gasket 40 is also supported by the horizontal gasket 40 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the glass gasket 40 supports the glass 1 in a state where the glass support portions 48 and 53 are slightly elastically deformed, and is shown by imaginary lines. When supporting the thick glass 1a, the glass 1a is supported in a state where the glass supporting portions 48 and 53 are elastically deformed to the positions indicated by imaginary lines. In addition, since the glass supporting sides 47 and 52 are formed in a curved shape, when the thick glass 1a is inserted, the glass supporting sides 47 and 52 are also deformed in a spreading direction to absorb a difference in glass thickness.
[0018]
Further, since the gasket main body 42 before the glass pressing member 50 is inserted into the engagement groove 46 has a large amount of deformation in the direction of narrowing the space between the convex portions 44 by the width of the engagement groove 46, the gasket mounting groove 21 can be easily inserted. Conversely, when the glass holding member 50 is engaged to support the glass 1, the convex portion 44 is inserted via the glass supporting side 47 and the glass holding member 50. Since the force acts in the direction in which the gasket spreads, the convex portion 44 and the gasket holding side 22 are strongly pressed, and the horizontal gasket 40 is securely fitted in the gasket mounting groove 21.
[0019]
Next, a procedure for fixing the glass 1 using the two gaskets 30 and 40 thus formed will be described. First, after mounting the vertical gasket 30 in the gasket mounting groove 11 of the four-sided vertical member 10, the gasket main body 42 of the horizontal gasket 40 is mounted in the gasket mounting groove 21 of the horizontal member 20. At this time, the vertical gasket 30 is mounted in a state where both ends thereof are in contact with the prospective surface of the horizontal member 20, and the horizontal gasket 40 is in a state where both ends thereof are in contact with the substrate 31 of the vertical gasket 30. Further, since no glass is inserted into the vertical gasket 30 and the glass pressing member 50 is not engaged with the gasket main body 42 of the horizontal gasket 40, both can be easily elastically deformed. And can be mounted in the gasket mounting grooves 11 and 21 with a light force.
[0020]
Next, the glass 1 is inserted into the opening from the side of the gasket main body 42 to which the glass pressing member is attached, and one of the vertical sides of the glass 1 is inserted deeply into the glass groove 34 of one of the vertical gaskets 30. In this state, the glass 1 is pressed in the direction of the glass supporting side 47 of the gasket main body 42, and the other of the vertical sides of the glass 1 is positioned inside the other vertical gasket 30. In order to align the glass 1 in the up-down direction, a glass liner having a predetermined height is usually provided on the upper surface (reinforcement side 45) of the central portion of the substrate 43 of the gasket main body 42 attached to the lower cross member 20. This is performed by placing the lower end of the glass 1 on this glass liner, and the glass 1 is positioned vertically and the weight of the glass 1 is supported.
[0021]
Next, the glass 1 is moved in the direction of the other vertical gasket 30, and the other one of the vertical sides of the glass 1 is inserted into the glass groove 34 of the vertical gasket 30 by a predetermined amount. At this time, the glass 1 can be positioned in the horizontal direction by attaching a glass liner of a predetermined size to the glass groove 34 of the other vertical gasket 30 with an adhesive or the like.
[0022]
Lastly, the engaging side 51 of the glass pressing member 50 is inserted into the engaging groove 46 of the gasket main body 42, and the projection 54 is engaged to integrate the gasket main body 42 and the glass pressing member 50. Finalize. Thereby, the glass 1 is fixed to the vertical member 10 and the horizontal member 20 via the vertical gasket 30 and the horizontal gasket 40.
[0023]
As described above, the glass fixing structure shown in the present embodiment can easily mount the gaskets 30 and 40 on the vertical member 10 and the horizontal member 20 that form the glass-fitting opening, and at the same time, use the gaskets 30 and 40. The glass 1 can be easily mounted on the glass. In addition, as described above, after the glass is mounted, the glass 1 is formed to have such a shape that the fitting force of the gaskets 30, 40 to the vertical member 10 or the horizontal member 20 acts strongly, so that the glass 1 can be reliably supported. it can. Further, only the glass support portions 35, 48, 53 of the gaskets 30, 40 are formed of a soft synthetic resin, and the other portions are integrally formed of a hard synthetic resin. It is possible to cope with different glasses, and it is possible to sufficiently obtain the adhesion between the glass support and the glass surface. Further, by minimizing the amount of projection into the glass fitting opening as in the vertical gasket shown in the above embodiment, not only the visual effect due to the increase in the glass area can be obtained, but also the horizontal gasket. Can also be minimized, so that corner processing can be easily performed. Note that the vertical and horizontal directions are not limited to the above embodiment, and the vertical and horizontal directions may be reversed.
[0024]
