Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は冷暖房や換気用の通気口に取り付けられるガラリに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
複数の羽根板が並列・固定されてなり、建築物の床に設けられた空調用の通気口等に取り付けられるガラリ（グリル）が知られている。従来、かかるガラリは射出成形により一体成形されており、成形時に使用する金型によりその寸法が決定されている。
【０００３】
しかるに、近年の建築物やインテリア等におけるデザイン重視の設計を行うという傾向により、各種のサイズのガラリが必要とされるようになっている。そこで、射出成形のように金型による制限を受けずに各種の寸法を実現できるガラリとして、例えば実公平７−１８９１５号公報に開示のものが考案されている。このガラリは、複数の溝が並設された長尺の連結部材を複数本平行に設置し、各連結部材の溝に羽根板の基端部を嵌合・溶着して形成される。
【０００４】
しかし、種々の事情により建築現場に搬入したガラリの寸法が通気口の寸法に合わず、ガラリの寸法を急遽変更しなければならない場合が生じる。複数の羽根板の並列方向においてガラリが通気口より長い場合や羽根板の幅が通気口の幅より大きい場合は、連結部材や羽根板を切断することで両者の長さや幅を合わせることができるが、切断された部分は廃棄処分せざるを得ず無駄となる。一方、ガラリが通気口より短い場合やガラリの幅が通気口の幅より小さい場合は、通気口に応じた長さの連結部材と通気口に応じた幅の羽根板とを溶着して、通気口に合わせた寸法のガラリを新たに準備する必要がある。このように、従来のガラリにはその長さや幅を変更する場合の融通性に欠けるという不都合があった。
【０００５】
また、羽根板や連結部材が木製である場合には、ガラリの寸法を合わせるため現場にて羽根板や連結部材を寸法加工し、ガラリを釘で組み立てることがある。しかし、これは現場での組立のため余分な材料が必要だったり、加工や塗装に時間がかかり、コスト高となる不都合があった。
【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
かかる背景に鑑みて本発明は寸法を容易に変更することができるガラリを提供することを目的とする。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題を解決するための本発明のガラリは、床面に設けられた通気口のフレームに収納・設置されるガラリであって、厚さ方向に貫通する連結孔が設けられた複数の羽根板と、両端部に連結部が設けられた複数の可撓性の連結部材とを備え、該羽根板の連結孔を介して一の連結部材の連結部と他の連結部材の連結部とが連続的に繰り返して連結されることで該複数の羽根板が並列に連結され、前記連結部材には、その中腹部の外周面を一周する切断溝が刻設されていることを特徴とする。
【０００８】
前記構成のガラリを形成するとき、まず、１枚目の羽根板の連結孔を介して１つ目の連結部材の連結部と、２つ目の連結部材の連結部とを連結させる。次に、２枚目の羽根板の連結孔を介して２つ目の連結部材のまだ連結されていない方の連結部と、３つ目の連結部材の連結部とを連結させる。これにより２枚の羽根板がそれぞれの前後にある一対の連結部材により挟まれた状態で連結される。続いて、同様の連結作業が繰り返されることにより、羽根板の枚数を徐々に増加させながらガラリを長くすることができる。なお、幅の異なる複数種類の羽根板を準備しておき、通気口の幅に応じて羽根板を選択してこれを連結部材により連結することで様々な幅のガラリを形成することができる。
【０００９】
ところで、羽根板の連結孔の径とこれに貫通する連結部材の連結部との間隔や両連結部の残留応力によってガラリがゆがむ場合がある。かかる場合、可撓性の連結部材にこのゆがみを吸収させてガラリを平坦にならし、通気口のフレームに収納・設置したときのガラリの外観を美しく仕上げることができる。
【００１０】
また、前記連結部材には、その中腹部の外周面を一周する切断溝が刻設されているので、ガラリの端から突出してフリーの状態の連結部を含む連結部材を、その中腹部の溝に沿って切断することで除去することができる。これにより、ガラリの端から突出する当該連結部材に妨げられることなくガラリを通気口のフレームに収納・設置することができる。前記構成のガラリにおいて、前記連結部は、前記連結部材の各端部に設けられ、相互に螺着可能なオスネジ部及びメスネジ部より構成されているか、又は前記連結部材の各端部に設けられ、相互に嵌着可能な凹凸嵌着部より構成されていることが好ましい。この場合、羽根板の一方の側からその連結孔を介して一の連結部材のオスネジ部又は凸嵌着部を羽根板の他方の側に突出させ、他の連結部材のメスネジ部又は凹嵌着部に螺着又は嵌着する作業を繰り返すことにより、ガラリを形成することができる。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のガラリの実施形態について図面を用いて説明する。図１は本発明の第１実施形態のガラリの説明的構成図であり、図２は本発明の第１実施形態のガラリの断面図であり、図３は本発明の第２実施形態のガラリの要部の説明的構成図である。
【００１２】
第１実施形態のガラリは、図１に示すように複数枚の羽根板１と、複数枚の羽根板１を連結するための複数の略円柱状の連結部材２とを備えている。羽根板１にはその厚さ方向に貫通する２つの連結孔３が設けられている。連結部材２は、可撓性を有する略円柱状のゴムの両端部にそれぞれオスネジ部（連結部）４及びメスネジ部（連結部）５が埋設されることで構成されている。連結部材２には、その中腹部の外周面を一周して切断溝６が刻設されている。図２に示すように連結部材２にはメスネジ部５よりさらに奥に、当該メスネジ部５に螺着されたオスネジ部６の先端部が収納される凹部７が形成されている。後述するようにガラリは、床面に埋設された略矩形状の通気口のフレームｆに収納され、床面より下方にあるフレームｆの縁部ｇにその一部が係合して設置される。
【００１３】
本発明の第２実施形態のガラリは、複数枚の羽根板１と、図３に示す連結部材２とを備えている。第２実施形態における連結部材２には、相互に嵌着可能で、その一端から突出する凸嵌着部（連結部）８と、その他端で開口する凹嵌着部（連結部）９とが設けられている。凸嵌着部８の先端部には円環状に突出するフランジ部８ａが形成され、また、その先端部は縦方向に半分に分割されている。凹嵌着部９には、当該凹嵌着部に嵌着された凸嵌着部８のフランジ部８ａが収納される環状のフランジ溝９ａが刻設されている。これ以外の点では第１実施形態のガラリとほぼ同様の構成なので説明を省略する。
【００１４】
第１実施形態のガラリを形成するとき、まず、図１に示すように１枚目（図中右端）の羽根板１の連結孔３を介して１つ目の連結部材２のオスネジ部４と、２つ目の連結部材２のメスネジ部５とを螺着させる。このとき、図２に示すようにオスネジ部４の先端部は連結部材２の凹部７に収納される。次に、２枚目の羽根板１の連結孔３を介して２つ目の連結部材２のオスネジ部４と、３つ目の連結部材２のメスネジ部５とを螺着させる。以下同様に、羽根板１の連結孔３を介して一の連結部材２のオスネジ部４と、他の連結部材２のメスネジ部５とを連続的に繰り返して螺着させることでさらに多くの枚数の羽根板１が連結されていく。また、ガラリの端から突出してフリーの状態のメスネジ部５を含む１つ目の連結部材１を、その中腹部の溝６に沿って切断する。そして、最後（図中左端）の羽根板１の連結孔３を介して突出する連結部材２のオスネジ部４と、切断・除去された連結部材２のメスネジ部５とを螺着させる。このように複数の羽根板１が並列・連結されることで形成されたガラリは、図２に示すように通気口のフレームｆに収納され、フレームｆの縁部ｇに設置される。
【００１５】
第２実施形態のガラリは、羽根板１の連結孔３を介して一の連結部材２の凸嵌着部８と、他の連結部材２の凹嵌着部９とを繰り返し連結させることで形成される。このとき、凸嵌着部８がその先端部の分割部分が狭まるように一端縮径しながら凹嵌着部９に徐々に挿入されていく。そして、そのフランジ部８ａがフランジ溝９ａに収納されたとき、凸嵌着部８はその先端部が弾発的に元通りに拡径した状態で凹嵌着部９に嵌着される。
【００１６】
前記実施形態のガラリは、羽根板１の連結孔３を介して一の連結部材２の連結部（４、８）と、他の連結部材２の連結部（５、９）とを繰り返し連結（螺着、嵌着）させ、連結される羽根板１の枚数を増やしていくことで容易に延長することができる。一方、前記ガラリは、任意位置で一の連結部材２の連結部（４、８）を他の連結部材２の連結部（５、９）から取り外し、連結されている羽根板１の枚数を減らすことで容易に短縮することができる。また、このとき取り外された部分のガラリは、一の連結部材２の連結部（４、８）を他の連結部材２の連結部（５、９）から取り外すことで羽根板１と連結部材２とに分解することができる。そして、分解された連結部材２により羽根板１を再び連結してガラリを形成することができる。
【００１７】
幅の異なる複数種類の羽根板１を準備し、通気口のフレームｆのサイズに応じた幅の羽根板１を選択してこれを連結部材２により並列・連結することで様々な幅のガラリを形成することができる。前記構成のガラリは羽根板１と連結部材２とに分解した状態で運搬することができ、運搬に要するスペースを節約することができる。また、現場での作業時間を節約するため、羽根板１を連結部材２で連結して予め形成されたガラリを運搬することも可能である。なお、羽根板１の幅に応じて連結孔３の個数や位置を調節することで、幅方向についてガラリの強度を向上させることができる。また、長さが異なる複数種類の連結部材２を準備し、通気口ｆの開口度に応じて選択された連結部材２により羽根板１を並列・連結することで羽根板１の間隔を変化させることができる。
【００１８】
羽根板１の連結孔３の径と、これに貫通する連結部材２の連結部（４、８）の径との差、及び連結部（４、８）と連結部（５、９）との連結による残留応力のためガラリがゆがむ場合がある。かかる場合、可撓性を有する連結部材２にこのゆがみを吸収させてガラリを平坦にならし、通気口のフレームｆに収納・設置したときにガラリの外観を美しく仕上げることができる。
【００１９】
また、上述のようにガラリの端から突出してフリーの状態の連結部（５、９）を含む連結部材２を、その中腹部の溝６に沿って切断することで除去することができる。これにより、ガラリの端から突出する当該連結部材２に妨げられることなくガラリを通気口のフレームｆに収納・設置することができる。
【００２０】
なお、前記実施形態では連結部材２はゴムより形成されているが、他の実施形態として可撓性を有する軟質の樹脂やプラスチック等により形成されるようにしてもよい。
【００２１】
第１実施形態では各端部にオスネジ部４、メスネジ部５が設けられた連結部材２が使用されているが、他の実施形態として両端部にオスネジ部４が設けられた連結部材や、両端部にメスネジ部５が設けられた連結部材が使用されてもよい。同様に、第２実施形態では各端部に凸嵌着部８、凹嵌着部９が設けられた連結部材２が使用されているが、他の実施形態として両端部に凸嵌着部８が設けられた連結部材や、両端部に凹嵌着部９が設けられた連結部材が使用されてもよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a louver attached to a vent for air conditioning or ventilation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A gallery (grill) is known in which a plurality of blades are arranged in parallel and fixed, and attached to an air conditioning vent provided on a floor of a building. Conventionally, such a louver has been integrally molded by injection molding, and its dimensions are determined by the mold used at the time of molding.
[0003]
However, due to the recent trend of designing with emphasis on buildings and interiors, various sizes of galleries are required. Thus, as a louver capable of realizing various dimensions without being restricted by a mold as in injection molding, for example, one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-18915 has been devised. This gallery is formed by installing a plurality of long connecting members in parallel with a plurality of grooves, and fitting and welding the base ends of the blades to the grooves of each connecting member.
[0004]
However, due to various circumstances, the size of the louver carried into the construction site may not match the size of the vent and the size of the louver must be changed suddenly. If the louver is longer than the vent in the parallel direction of the blades, or if the width of the blades is greater than the width of the vents, the length and width of both can be adjusted by cutting the connecting member and the blades. However, the cut portion must be discarded and is wasted. On the other hand, if the louver is shorter than the vent or the width of the louver is smaller than the vent, the length of the connecting member according to the vent and the blade with the width corresponding to the vent are welded together. It is necessary to prepare a new gallery with a size that matches the mouth. As described above, the conventional gallery has the disadvantage that it lacks flexibility when changing its length and width.
[0005]
Further, when the blade plate and the connecting member are made of wood, the blade plate and the connecting member may be dimensionally processed at the site in order to adjust the size of the louver, and the louver may be assembled with nails. However, this has the disadvantage that extra materials are required for on-site assembly, processing and painting take time, and the cost is high.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of such a background, an object of the present invention is to provide a louver whose dimensions can be easily changed.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The galleries of the present invention for solving the above problems are galleries that are housed and installed in a frame of a vent hole provided on a floor surface, and are a plurality of blades provided with connecting holes penetrating in the thickness direction. And a plurality of flexible connecting members provided with connecting portions at both ends, and the connecting portions of one connecting member and the connecting portions of the other connecting members are continuous through the connecting holes of the blades. The plurality of blades are connected in parallel by being repeatedly connected to each other, and the connecting member has a cutting groove encircling the outer peripheral surface of the abdomen .
[0008]
When forming the louver having the above-described configuration, first, the connecting portion of the first connecting member and the connecting portion of the second connecting member are connected via the connecting hole of the first blade. Next, the connection part of the second connection member that is not yet connected is connected to the connection part of the third connection member via the connection hole of the second blade. As a result, the two blades are connected in a state of being sandwiched between a pair of connecting members on the front and rear sides. Subsequently, by repeating the same connecting operation, it is possible to lengthen the louver while gradually increasing the number of blades. A plurality of types of blades having different widths are prepared, and blades having various widths can be formed by selecting blades according to the width of the vent and connecting them with a connecting member.
[0009]
By the way, there is a case where the galley is distorted due to the distance between the diameter of the connecting hole of the blade plate and the connecting portion of the connecting member penetrating therethrough or the residual stress of both connecting portions. In such a case, this distortion can be absorbed by the flexible connecting member to flatten the louver, and the appearance of the louver when stored and installed in the frame of the vent can be finished beautifully.
[0010]
Further, wherein the connecting member, since the cutting grooves around the outer peripheral surface of the abdominal therein are engraved, the connecting member including a connecting portion in a state of free protruding from the end of the louver, the groove abdominal therein It can be removed by cutting along. Thus, the louver can be stored and installed in the frame of the vent hole without being obstructed by the connecting member protruding from the end of the louver. In the gallery having the above-described configuration, the connecting portion is provided at each end portion of the connecting member and is configured by a male screw portion and a female screw portion that can be screwed to each other, or provided at each end portion of the connecting member. It is preferable that it is comprised from the uneven | corrugated fitting part which can be mutually fitted. In this case, from one side of the blade plate, the male screw portion or the convex fitting portion of one connecting member is projected to the other side of the blade plate through the connecting hole, and the female screw portion or the concave fitting portion of the other connecting member is inserted. By repeating the operation of screwing or fitting to the part, it is possible to form a louver.
[0011]

The connecting member 2 in the second embodiment has a convex fitting portion (connecting portion) 8 that can be fitted to each other and protrudes from one end thereof, and a concave fitting portion (connecting portion) 9 that opens at the other end. Is provided. A flange portion 8a that protrudes in an annular shape is formed at the distal end portion of the convex fitting portion 8, and the distal end portion is divided in half in the longitudinal direction. The concave fitting portion 9 is provided with an annular flange groove 9a in which the flange portion 8a of the convex fitting portion 8 fitted to the concave fitting portion is accommodated. Except for this point, the configuration is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0014]
When forming the louver of the first embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the male screw portion 4 of the first connecting member 2 and the first connecting member 2 through the connecting hole 3 of the blade plate 1 (the right end in the figure) The female screw part 5 of the second connecting member 2 is screwed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the distal end portion of the male screw portion 4 is accommodated in the concave portion 7 of the connecting member 2. Next, the male screw portion 4 of the second connecting member 2 and the female screw portion 5 of the third connecting member 2 are screwed together via the connecting hole 3 of the second blade 1. In the same manner, the male screw portion 4 of one connecting member 2 and the female screw portion 5 of the other connecting member 2 are continuously and repeatedly screwed through the connecting holes 3 of the blade plate 1 to increase the number of sheets. The blades 1 are connected. Moreover, the 1st connection member 1 which protrudes from the edge of a louver and contains the free female screw part 5 is cut | disconnected along the groove | channel 6 of the middle part. Then, the male screw portion 4 of the connecting member 2 protruding through the connecting hole 3 of the last (left end in the drawing) blade plate 1 and the female screw portion 5 of the connecting member 2 cut and removed are screwed together. Thus, the gallery formed by connecting and connecting the plurality of blades 1 in parallel is housed in the frame f of the air vent as shown in FIG. 2 and installed on the edge g of the frame f.
[0015]
The louver of the second embodiment is formed by repeatedly connecting the convex fitting portion 8 of one connecting member 2 and the concave fitting portion 9 of another connecting member 2 through the connecting hole 3 of the blade plate 1. Is done. At this time, the convex fitting portion 8 is gradually inserted into the concave fitting portion 9 while reducing the diameter at one end so that the divided portion of the tip end portion is narrowed. And when the flange part 8a is accommodated in the flange groove | channel 9a, the convex fitting part 8 is fitted to the concave fitting part 9 in the state which the front-end | tip part expanded elastically as it was.
[0016]
The louver of the embodiment repeatedly connects the connecting portions (4, 8) of one connecting member 2 and the connecting portions (5, 9) of the other connecting member 2 via the connecting holes 3 of the blade plate 1 ( It can be easily extended by increasing the number of blade plates 1 to be connected. On the other hand, the louver removes the connecting portions (4, 8) of one connecting member 2 from the connecting portions (5, 9) of another connecting member 2 at an arbitrary position, thereby reducing the number of blade plates 1 connected. This can be easily shortened. Moreover, the louver of the part removed at this time removes the connection part (4, 8) of one connection member 2 from the connection part (5, 9) of another connection member 2, and the blade plate 1 and the connection member 2 And can be disassembled. Then, the blade plate 1 can be connected again by the disassembled connecting member 2 to form a louver.
