BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a continuous window sash to which left and right sash frames are connected so that a shutter can be run on sash frames provided on both sides between columns, and in particular, a connection dimension that varies depending on the size of the columns. It is related with the continuous window sash which improved the upper frame cover so that adjustment is possible.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In window sashes in ordinary houses, the doors of the shutters are usually provided on one end side, so that the pillars between the sash frames and the sash frames can be used so that the shutters can run smoothly on each sash frame. The structure is connected.
[0003]
FIG. 6 is a view showing a structure of a connecting portion of a conventional continuous window sash.
[0004]
Reference numerals 1a and 1b denote upper frames of left and right sash frames that are attached to the left and right sides of a column (not shown). The column-side ends of the upper frames 1a and 1b and the lower frames 2a and 2b are arranged at the corners of the columns. The vertical frames 3a and 3b attached along are connected. In this case, the shutter is configured to travel on the shutter rail portions 4a and 4b formed at the lowermost stage outside the lower frames 2a and 2b. The upper frames 1a and 1b include the shutter rail portions 4a and 4b. The shutter guide portions 5a and 5b are formed corresponding to the above.
[0005]
When such left and right sash frames are attached to both sides of the pillar, there is a space between the upper frames 1a and 1b and the lower frames 2a and 2b, respectively, and the smooth running of the shutter is obstructed. The lower frame side is connected using a connecting member such as the lower straight line 6 and the upper frame side is called the upper straight line 7. Among these, the lower straight line 6 is a member that connects the shutter doors 4a and 4b of the lower frames 2a and 2b, and has a rail on which the shutter of the shutters rolls. It is possible to prevent the rails of the parts 4a and 4b from breaking. When attaching this lower straight line 6, joint brackets 8, 8 are inserted from the left and right sides of the lower straight line 6, and the joint brackets 8, 8 are fixed to the lower frames 2 a, 2 b using screws, respectively. A single line 6 can be attached.
[0006]
On the other hand, the upper straight line 7 is a member that connects the shutter guide portions 5a and 5b of the upper frames 1a and 1b, and bridges the ends of the shutter guide portions 5a and 5b of the left and right upper frames 2a and 2b using screws. Fixed with screws.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, in the continuous window sash, connecting members corresponding to the structures of the upper frame and the lower frame are used in order to fill the space between the columns.
However, since the dimensions of the pillars vary depending on the region in the attachment of this connecting member, conventionally, the lower one and the upper one corresponded to the dimensions of the pillar, for example, for four-dimension pillars and five-dimension pillars. There was a difficulty that could not be used for general purposes, such as preparing a thing, or cutting off both ends of a thing for a 5-dimension pillar at a construction site and using it for a 4-dimension pillar.
[0008]
In addition, when connecting the upper frame by cutting down the upper line at the site, there are many complicated operations such as processing the position of the screw hole of the upper line to a position that matches the screw hole of the upper frame, and 7, after attaching the upper straight line, the upper frame cover 9 of another part is attached to close the gap, and the end portion of the eye plate 10 is screwed to the upper straight line 7 and the lower straight line 56. Since it has to be stopped, there is a problem that it takes time to install if there is an error in the truncation dimensions.
[0009]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, and to connect the upper frame with the pillar sandwiched by using the cover, and to adjust the connecting dimension of the cover to the dimension of the pillar. It is to provide a continuous window sash that can be easily adjusted in the field.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention attaches a sash frame integrally having a shutter frame to both left and right sides of a column, and sets an interval between upper frames of the left and right sash frames sandwiching the column. A closing upper frame cover is installed between the ends of the left and right upper frames, and a top plate mounting wall is provided on the upper frame cover that can be attached to the upper end portion of the top plate that hangs down from the back surface and hides the column. The eye plate mounting wall has a positioning portion that engages with a positioning reference portion provided on each of the vertical frames of the sash frame across the pillar, and at least one of the eye plate mounting walls can slide in the horizontal direction. A set of positioning members held is provided .
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a continuous window sash according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a left sash frame 20 and a right sash frame 22 that are attached to the left and right sides of a pillar. In this embodiment, a door pocket (not shown) for storing the shutter is connected to the right sash frame 22 on the right side.
[0012]
The left sash frame 20 and the right sash frame 22 are assembled by assembling a lower frame 23, an upper frame 24, a vertical frame 25 and another vertical frame (not shown) in a four-way assembly, and are installed next to each other with a pillar interposed therebetween. It is what
[0013]
Of these, the lower frame 23 is provided with steps so as to be lowered step by step from the indoor side to the outdoor side. A rail 27 and a screen door rail 28 rise vertically. Further, the portion of the lower frame 23 that is the most outdoor side is a lower frame 33 of a shutter that is integrated with the lower frame 23.
[0014]
On the other hand, the upper frame 24 is integrally formed so that rails 29, 30, 31 corresponding to the rails 26, 27, 28 of the lower frame 23 hang vertically, and the outermost outside is the upper frame 24. It is comprised as the shutter door frame 32 of integral structure.
[0015]
In the left sash frame 20 and the right sash frame 22 as described above, 34 closes a gap formed between the left and right upper frames 24 and 24 so as to sandwich the pillar therebetween, and connects the left and right upper frames 24 and 24. It is an upper frame cover. Reference numeral 36 denotes a eyeplate that is hidden so that the pillar cannot be seen from the front. Note that the ends of the left and right lower frames 23, 23 with the columns in between are connected by the conventional lower straight line 37 for joint windows and joint fittings (not shown) shown in FIG. Is filled, and the lower frame 33 of the shutter is connected through a lower line 37 so that the shutter can smoothly travel.
[0016]
Next, the structure of the upper frame cover 34 will be described.
First, the upper frame cover 34 has a cross-sectional shape substantially the same as the cross-sectional shape of the upper frame 24, and has a main body portion 40 corresponding to a portion in which the inner and outer shojis are accommodated, and an inner top of the shutter. It is a shape member in which a cross enters and a shutter guide part 41 that guides the traveling of the shutter. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the upper frame cover 34, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the upper frame cover 34 from the back side.
On the back side of the upper frame cover 34, a vertical wall 44 as a face plate mounting wall is suspended at a right angle, and the vertical wall 44 is positioned from both the left and right sides in parallel with the length direction of the upper frame 24. The members 45 and 45 are slidably engaged. The positioning member 45 is, for example, a rectangular plate-like member integrally formed using a synthetic resin as a material and a narrow convex portion 46 that fits in a positioning reference portion of the vertical frame 25 described later as a positioning portion. , 45 are attached so that the convex portions 46, 46 protrude from the left and right ends of the vertical wall 45 toward the indoor side.
[0017]
In this embodiment, the vertical wall 44 includes guide ridges 47 and 47 formed in parallel in the vertical direction, while the positioning member 45 is a locking portion that slidably engages with the guide ridge 47. 48 and 48 are formed, so that the positioning member 45 can adjust the distance between the convex portions 46 on the left and right sides while sliding the vertical wall 44.
[0018]
In addition, long grooves 49 and 49 are formed in the sliding direction so that the positioning members 45 and 45 do not fall off from the vertical wall 44 when the positioning members 45 and 45 are slid. Stoppers 50 and 50 protruding from the back surface are loosely fitted. Accordingly, the length of the long grooves 49, 49 determines the length by which the positioning members 45, 45 can be moved.
[0019]
In FIG. 2, reference numeral 52 denotes a eye plate attachment portion attached so as to hang from the vertical wall 45, and this eye plate attachment portion 52 has an attachment surface parallel to the vertical surface and fixes the eye plate 36. A screw hole 53 is formed. Reference numeral 54 denotes a sealing material that seals a portion overlapping the upper frame 24.
[0020]
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, on the outdoor side of the upper surface of the upper frame cover 34, a connecting bracket for connecting the upper frame cover 34 to the ends of the left and right upper frames 24, 24. As shown, two connecting plates 56 and 56 are attached.
[0021]
The connecting plate 56 is held by hook-shaped guide portions 57 and 57 having a cross-sectional L direction with which both side edges in the longitudinal direction are engaged, and is configured to be able to slide on the upper surface of the upper frame cover 34.
[0022]
In the case of this embodiment, the upper frame cover 34 is formed with a long groove 58 (see FIG. 3) that is long in the sliding direction of the connecting plate 56, and from the screw holes 59 a and 59 a formed on the distal end side of the connecting plate 56. The tip of the inserted screw is inserted through the long groove 58. Further, as will be described later, the screw holes 59a and 59a are set at predetermined positions so as to correspond to the dimensions of a plurality of columns having different sizes. In this embodiment, the screw holes 59b and 59b are formed in the same manner so that the connecting plate 56 can be used also on the left end side.
[0023]
A procedure for connecting the upper frames 24, 24 of the left and right sash frames using the upper frame cover 34 in the continuous window sash configured as described above will be described.
[0024]
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the positioning members 45 and 45 when positioning the upper frame cover 34. In the vertical frame 25, a vertical groove 60 for fitting the vertical frame per door is formed. In the continuous window sash, it is only necessary to attach the door-to-door vertical frame only to the vertical frame on the door end side. In this embodiment, the vertical groove 60 can be used as a positioning reference.
[0025]
In this case, since the distance between the left and right vertical frames 25 and 25 varies depending on the dimensions of the pillar 100, the both ends of the upper frame cover 34 are temporarily determined so as to overlap the ends of the upper frames 24 and 24, respectively. After that, both positioning members 45, 45 are moved to positions facing the vertical grooves 60, 60 of the vertical frames 25, 25 on the left and right of the column 100. And if the position of the vertical wall 44 and the eyeplate attachment part 52 is set to the front center with respect to the column 100, if the convex parts 46 and 46 are pushed in, this convex part 46 and 46 will be made into the vertical grooves 61 and 61, respectively. Can be fitted.
[0026]
Thus, after the position of the upper frame cover 34 is determined in advance, as shown in FIG. 4, the connecting plate 56, 56 is moved to the screw hole on the upper frame 24 side overlapping the upper frame cover 34 while moving the connecting plate 56, 56. The 56 screw holes 59a and 59b can be matched. And if a screw is inserted and tightened, the upper frame cover 34 can be fixed easily. Thereafter, the eye plate may be attached in the same manner as the conventional method of FIG.
[0027]
As described above, the upper frame cover 34 is positioned in advance while adjusting the positions of the positioning members 46 and 46 in accordance with the dimensions of the columns, and then adjusted and fixed while moving the connecting plates 56 and 56. Since the frame cover can easily cope with the mounting width according to the dimensions of the column on the spot, versatility is improved. The attaching operation itself can be performed easily and efficiently.
[0028]
