Description

  The present invention relates to a ventilation device attached to the upper edge of a window screen.

  As disclosed in Patent Document 1, a ventilation device attached to the upper edge of a window shoji is known. This type of ventilator includes an upper heel integrated type (a type that also serves as an upper heel) and an upper heel separate type (a type that is separated from the upper heel and is fitted into the upper heel). Both types of ventilation devices include a body made of an extruded mold that extends along the upper edge of the window screen. The main body has a ventilation passage that allows communication between indoor and outdoor, and the ventilation passage is opened and closed by an opening / closing means.

In the case of a ventilation device integrated with the upper heel, it is necessary to fix both ends of the main body to the upper end of the vertical fold of the window shoji. In addition, even in the case of a strong wind region, it is required that both ends of the main body be fixed to the vertical gutter even in the case of a separate upper type ventilation device.
Therefore, the main body has a screw hole portion, and the main body is fixed to the vertical rod by screwing the screw penetrating the upper end portion of the vertical rod into the end portion of the screw hole portion.

  By the way, since a main body consists of extrusion mold materials, the screw hole part is extended over the full length. When this screw hole part faces the ventilation passage, the flow cross-sectional area of the ventilation passage is reduced. Therefore, if it is going to secure the distribution cross-sectional area of a ventilation channel, it will be necessary to ensure an extra dimension only for the screw hole part, and the enlargement of a ventilator will be caused.

An example of the upper heel-integrated ventilation device will be described. This ventilation device requires a rail squeezing part and a shoji body squeezing part. A part of the ventilation passage is formed between the rail squeezing part and the shoji body squeezing part. Therefore, when a screw hole part is formed between the rail squeezing part and the shoji body squeezing part, the dimension between these squeezing parts must be increased in order to secure the cross-sectional area of the ventilation passage. And the finding (vertical width) of the ventilator becomes larger by that amount.
Recently, from the viewpoint of the daylighting and design properties of window shoji, it has been required to make the ventilator smaller, but the above configuration cannot meet this requirement.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a main body having a ventilation passage made of an extruded mold material extending along the upper edge of the window shoji and communicating indoors and outdoors, and an opening / closing means for opening and closing the ventilation passage of the main body. A ventilator in which both ends of the main body are fixed to the upper ends of the left and right vertical shafts of the window screen, screw hole members are respectively fixed to both ends of the main body, and the ventilation passage is formed between the pair of left and right screw hole members. When viewed from the longitudinal direction of the main body, at least a part of the screw hole member and the ventilation passage are overlapped, the screw hole member has a screw hole extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body, and the main screw penetrating the vertical gutter is The main body is fixed to the vertical shaft by being screwed into the screw hole.

  According to the above configuration, the screw hole portion that interferes with the ventilation passage by fixing the screw hole member that receives the main screw to both ends of the main body even if the main screw is attached to the ventilation passage when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the main body. Need not be formed on the main body. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the ventilator while ensuring a sufficient cross-sectional area of the ventilation passage.

Preferably, a cap made of resin is further provided at both ends of the main body, and the cap projects from the end wall perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body to the ventilation passage in the longitudinal direction of the main body. The cap receiving convex portion and the screw hole member have a receiving surface extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body and facing away from each other in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body. The cap screw is attached to the main body by screwing the auxiliary screw that passes through the end wall of the cap and tapping the receiving surface between the receiving surface of the receiving convex portion of the cap and the receiving surface of the screw hole member. The main screw passes through the upper end of the vertical shaft and the end wall of the cap and is screwed into the screw hole of the screw hole member.
According to this configuration, in the ventilation device provided with the cap, it is not necessary to form a screw hole for receiving the auxiliary screw for attaching the cap in the screw hole member. Therefore, since the screw hole member can be reduced in size, the size of the ventilation passage can be minimized without being restricted by the screw hole member, and thus the ventilation device can be further reduced in size.

Preferably, the cap further has a locking projection extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body, and when the locking projection hits the main body, the cap moves in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body when the auxiliary screw is screwed. It is forbidden to do.
According to this configuration, by prohibiting the cap movement, the interval between the receiving surface of the main body and the receiving surface of the cap does not widen, and tapping on both receiving surfaces of the auxiliary screw can be performed reliably.

Preferably, the main body is a shoji body squeezing part that accommodates the upper edge of the shoji of the window shoji, a rail squeezing part that accommodates the rail, and a front surface that is disposed on the indoor side of the rail squeezing part and has a vent hole. And the ventilation passage includes a first portion formed between the front wall and the indoor wall of the rail rubbing portion, an upper wall of the shoji body rubbing portion, and the rail rubbing portion. A second portion formed between the bottom wall and the opening and closing means, the opening and closing means having an opening and closing plate that is accommodated in the first portion of the ventilation passage and opens and closes the vent of the front wall. Are arranged at both ends of the second portion of the ventilation passage.
According to this configuration, even if the mounting position of the main screw overlaps with the second portion of the ventilation passage formed between the sliding body squeezing part and the rail squeezing part when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the main body, By using it, it is possible to reduce the finding (vertical width) of the ventilation device while sufficiently securing the flow cross-sectional area of the ventilation passage.

Preferably, both end portions of the rail rubbing portion of the main body protrude in the longitudinal direction of the main body from the shoji body rubbing portion, and the screw hole member is fixed to the lower surface of the end portion of the rail rubbing portion by a vertical fixing screw. And a cap made of resin disposed at both ends of the main body. The cap has an end wall perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body, and the end wall of the cap corresponds to a rail entrainment portion of the main body. A notch is formed, and a projecting portion is formed to face the shoji body squeezing portion, and a receiving projection is formed on the upper surface of the projecting portion, and the receiving projection is disposed below the screw hole member. And the receiving convex portion of the cap and the screw hole member have a receiving surface that is opposed to each other and extends in the longitudinal direction of the main body, and passes through the end wall of the cap. The screw is screwed in while tapping both receiving surfaces between the receiving surface of the receiving projection of the cap and the receiving surface of the screw hole member through the end wall of the cap, so that the cap is attached to the main body. A screw penetrates the upper end of the vertical shaft and the end wall of the cap and is screwed into the screw hole of the screw hole member.
According to this configuration, in the ventilation device provided with the cap, it is not necessary to form a screw hole for receiving the auxiliary screw for attaching the cap in the screw hole member. Therefore, since the screw hole member can be reduced in size, the vertical dimension of the second portion of the ventilation passage can be minimized without being restricted by the screw hole member, and the vertical width of the ventilation device can be further reduced. Can do.

Preferably, the cap has a locking protrusion protruding in the longitudinal direction of the main body from the protruding portion of the cap in the vicinity of the receiving protrusion, and the locking protrusion is an upper surface of the obstacle body swallowing portion of the main body. This prevents the cap from moving downward when the auxiliary screw is screwed in.
According to this configuration, since the downward movement of the cap is prohibited, the interval between the receiving surface of the main body and the receiving surface of the cap is not widened, and tapping on both receiving surfaces of the sub screw can be performed reliably.

  According to the present invention, the size of the main body can be reduced by fixing the screw hole members to both ends of the main body instead of forming the screw holes in the main body.

The end wall 31 is formed with a notch 31a corresponding to the rail entrainment portion 11a of the second mold member 11.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the end wall 31 of the cap 30, two through holes 35 and 36 are formed in a portion facing the lateral portion 13 b of the ventilation passage 13. The through hole 35 is disposed near the center in the thickness direction (indoor / outdoor direction) of the main body 10, and the through hole 36 is disposed on the outdoor side.

As shown in FIG. 10, a receiving convex portion 37 extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body 10 is formed on the upper surface of the projecting portion 32 of the cap 30. The receiving convex portion 37 has a receiving surface 37a having a substantially semi-cylindrical surface shape. As shown in FIG. 6, the receiving surface 37 a faces the lower surface of the base portion 41 of the screw hole member 40 in a state where the cap 30 is attached to the main body 10. The lower surface of the base portion 41 is provided as a receiving surface 41a that performs an operation described later.
As shown in FIG. 6, a screw 51 (to be described later) is screwed between the receiving surfaces 37a and 41a.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the cap 30 has a locking protrusion 38 protruding from the protrusion 32 on the extension line of the receiving protrusion 37 (in the vicinity of the receiving protrusion 37). When the cap 30 is attached to the main body 10, the locking convex portion 38 hits the upper surface of the upper wall of the obstacle body squeezing portion 11 a of the main body 10. It is prohibited to move in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main body 10, that is, in the downward direction.

  The cap 30 is formed with various protrusions projecting in the longitudinal direction toward the main body 10, and these are for preventing the cap 30 from rotating relative to the main body 10. The explanation is omitted because it is not related.

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the screw 51 (sub screw) is inserted into the through hole 36 of the cap 30 and further screwed. The screw 51 is screwed between the receiving surface 37 a of the receiving convex portion 37 of the cap 30 and the receiving surface 41 a of the base portion 41 of the screw hole member 40. Since the cap 30 is made of resin and the screw hole member 40 is made of aluminum, the screw 51 can be screwed in while tapping both the receiving surfaces 37a and 41a. Thereby, the cap 30 can be attached to both ends of the main body 10, and the assembly of the ventilation device 5 is completed.
If the screw hole member 40 is not fixed to the main body 10, the screw fixing operation of the cap 30 cannot be performed, so that forgetting to attach the screw hole member 40 can be reliably prevented.

  The window shoji 1 incorporating the ventilation device 5 is manufactured at a construction site or factory. Under the present circumstances, the upper end part of the vertical scissors 2 and 3 is fixed to the both ends of the ventilator 5 in the state which fitted the obturator body entraining part 11a of the ventilator 5. Specifically, the screw 52 (main screw) is inserted from a through hole formed in the upper end portion of the vertical shaft 2. The screw 52 passes through the through hole 35 of the cap 30 and reaches the screw hole 42 a of the screw hole member 40. When the screw 52 is screwed, the screw 52 is screwed while tapping the screw hole 42a. Thereby, the ventilator 5 as an upper rod is fixed to the upper ends of the vertical rods 2 and 3.

  In the ventilator 5 having the above-described configuration, when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the main body 10, even when screwed to the vertical rods 2 and 3 at a position overlapping the horizontal portion 13 b of the ventilation passage 13 of the main body 10, Instead of forming the screw hole portion facing the portion 13b in the main body 10, the screw hole members 40 are attached to both ends of the main body 10, so that the vertical dimension of the horizontal portion 13b can be increased without increasing the vertical dimension of the horizontal portion 13b. A sufficient cross-sectional area can be secured, and the finding H of the ventilation device 5 can be reduced.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various forms can be adopted. For example, a female screw may be formed in advance in the screw hole of the screw hole member. The screw hole member may be made of metal such as steel harder than aluminum.
Instead of screwing the auxiliary screw 51 between the receiving surfaces 41a and 37a, the cap may be fixed to the screw hole member by screwing it into another screw hole formed in the screw hole member.
The cap may be omitted and the main body may be fixed to the vertical hook.
The screw hole member 40 may be fixed to the end portion of the first mold member 11. The screw hole member can be fixed to a surface extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body and facing the ventilation passage at the end of the main body.

The ventilator main body includes all the one constituted by one or a plurality of extrusion mold members.
The ventilator of the present invention can also be applied to a separate upper cage type. In this case, the shoji body swallowing portion is formed on the lower side, and the fitting portion to be fitted on the upper arm of the window shoji is formed on the upper side.
