Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a glass panel with a built-in blind so that the operability is good and the appearance is not impaired.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Blinds are suspended from the windows in the room to block out direct sunlight from outside and to block human eyes from outside. Of course, even cloth curtains can block light in the same way, but since the amount of incident light cannot be adjusted, blinds are generally used in offices and the like. And this blind can be built not only in the window of a room but in a glass partition. That is, in recent years, a large space of a building is often partitioned into an appropriate size by a partition, and a glass panel is sometimes installed on a part of the partition, but it is sometimes necessary to block the glass panel.
[0003]
By the way, the conventional blind built in the glass panel has the same structure as the blind suspended from the window, and is merely accommodated in the glass panel. However, the string for operating the blind cannot be accommodated inside (between both glass plates), and only this string is led out and hung on the surface of the glass panel, which impairs the appearance of the partition. ing. In other words, if the blind is hung on the glass panel, even if the operating string is lowered together, it does not feel so uncomfortable, but because the blind is housed in the glass panel, The appearance as a partition is not good that only the string exists outside.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, the glass panel with a built-in blind has the above-mentioned problems. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, and provides a glass panel with a built-in blind that does not have an operation string outside the glass panel.
[0005]
[Means for solving the problems]
The glass panel with a built-in blind according to the present invention has glass plates fitted on both sides of the frame, and a predetermined space is formed between the glass plates. The blind is housed in the space between the two glass plates and has a structure capable of blocking the transparent glass panel as necessary. The structure in which the blind is built in the space between the two glass plates is in common with the existing structure, and the present invention is characterized by the method of operating the blind.
[0006]
A knob is provided on the vertical rail of the glass panel so as to protrude from the surface, and the knob can rotate. A gear is attached to the shaft extending from this knob, and when the gear engages with a gear at the lower end of the shaft arranged along the vertical rail, the rotation of the knob rotates the shaft, and the gear provided at the upper end of the shaft rotates around the blind. It meshes with a gear attached to a shaft extending from the take-up shaft.
[0007]
Therefore, when the knob rotates, the take-up shaft rotates and the blind can be moved up and down. The inclination angle of the blind blade is also adjusted by rotating the knob. Here, the knob is relatively small, and the tilt angle of the blind blade can be adjusted directly by hand, but the handle is used to move the blind up and down. That is, a handle is attached to this knob, and the operation is performed by the handle operation. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0008]
【Example】
1A and 1B are schematic views showing a glass panel with a built-in blind according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a glass plate, 2 is a vertical beam, 3 is an upper beam, 4 is a lower beam, and 5 is a blind. A take-up shaft 6 is attached in the upper rail 3, and a string that suspends the blind 5 can be wound around the take-up shaft 6. A knob 7 projects from the surface of the vertical beam 2. The blind 5 can be moved up and down by rotating the knob 7, and the inclination of the blades of the blind 5 can be adjusted by turning the knob 7.
[0009]
FIG. 2 is a cross section and a longitudinal section of a glass panel with a built-in blind. The side edges of the glass plates 1 and 1 are fitted into grooves provided in the vertical rail 2 via gaskets, and the upper and lower sides of the glass plates 1 and 1 are also shown. The ends are fitted into grooves formed in the upper beam 3 and the lower beam 4 via gaskets. The two glass plates 1 and 1 are attached in parallel at a predetermined interval, and a space 8 is formed between them.
[0010]
Since the glass panel constitutes a partition, both ends of the glass panel are connected to a stat 9 that stands vertically, and the stud 9 is screwed into the stud 9 in a state in which the stud 9 is fitted in the opening outside the vertical beam 2 of the glass panel. It has been stopped. The lower end of the glass panel is supported on an adjuster 11 disposed on the floor rail 10 through a baseboard 22 at an appropriate height, and the upper end is engaged with a ceiling rail 12 fixed to the ceiling.
[0011]
Here, in the present invention, the specific structure of the glass panel, for example, the shape of the vertical beam 2 and the upper and lower beams 3, 4 and the relationship between the glass plate 1, 1 and the vertical beam 2, the upper and lower beams 3, 4 are particularly limited. I will not do it. In the present invention, a rotary knob 7 for raising and lowering the blind 5 is attached to the surface of the vertical beam 2, and the power transmission device for transmitting the rotation of the knob 7 to the winding shaft 6 of the blind 5 is a space 13 of the vertical beam 2. Provided.
[0012]
3A and 3B are specific examples showing the power transmission device. A shaft 14 extending rearward from the knob 7 is connected to a gear device 15, and the gear device 15 is connected to an upper gear device 17 via a shaft 16. The gear device 15 is composed of worm gears meshing with each other in order to convert the rotational motion of the horizontal shaft 14 into rotational motion of the shaft 16 extending upward, and the upper gear device 17 is also composed of worm gears meshing with each other. Rotational motion can be transmitted to the horizontal axis 18. However, either one of the upper and lower gear devices 15 and 17 can use a bevel gear.
[0013]
The shaft 18 is connected to the winding shaft 6 of the blind 5, and the shaft 18 can rotate the winding shaft 6. Therefore, if the knob 7 is turned, the take-up shaft 6 rotates via the gear device 15, the shaft 16, and the gear device 17, so that the blind 5 can be moved up and down, and the inclination of the blades of the blind 5 is adjusted. I can do it. In this case, since the number of rotations of the knob 7 is large when the blind 5 moves up and down, the handle 21 can be fitted to the knob 7 and the handle can be turned. The handle 21 is fitted to the knob 7 only when the blind is raised and lowered.
[0014]
As described above, the lower gear device 15, the shaft 16, and the upper gear device 17 are accommodated in the space 13 of the vertical beam 2, but the gear device 15 is fixed to the vertical beam 2 via the mounting plate 19, Similarly, the gear device 17 is fixed to the vertical beam 2 via a mounting plate 20. A shaft 16 is connected between the two gear devices 15 and 17 attached at a fixed position.
[0015]
As described above, the glass panel incorporating the blind according to the present invention is provided with the upper and lower gear devices in the space of the vertical beam, connects the two gear devices with the shaft, and rotates the knob attached to the surface of the vertical beam, thereby The blind can be raised and lowered by rotating the winding shaft via the device and the shaft, and the following effects can be obtained.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
The glass panel incorporating the blind of the present invention has only a small knob on the surface of the vertical rail, and the appearance of the partition is not impaired, and there is no difference in appearance from the case of the glass panel not incorporating the blind. When the built-in blind is moved up and down, the handle is inserted into the small knob and turned. Therefore, the lifting operation is not troublesome, and the handle can be moved smoothly. Is called.
[0017]
Further, when adjusting the inclination of the blade of the blind, it can be performed by turning the knob. However, since the rotation in this case is small, the handle is not used. In addition, the appearance is not only superior to the conventional string operation, but also the operability is good, and the blind can be moved up and down reliably and accurately.
