Description

The present invention relates to a ceiling structure of a glass partition in which a stretch metal fitting is interposed between an upper end of a glass panel and a ceiling .

  FIG. 9 shows a part of the glass partition device, but the glass panel (b) is a four-sided frame framed by an upper beam (b), a lower beam (c), and both vertical beams (d) and (d). A glass plate (e) is fitted into the structure. And this glass panel (I) is supported on the baseboard (Chi) supported by the adjusters (G), (G) ... arranged on the floor rails (F) laid on the floor surface, The upper end is connected to the ceiling rail (re), and the side ends of the adjacent glass panels (a) and (b) are connected to studs (nu) interposed therebetween.

  FIG. 10 is a specific example showing a transverse section and a longitudinal section of the glass partition, but a single glass plate (e) is fitted in the four-sided frame body, and this glass panel (a), (a). Are connected via studs (nu), (nu). The stud (nu) is not transparent. For this reason, it is not preferable that many studs (nu), (nu),... Of course, it is possible to assemble a large four-sided frame and fit a large glass plate (e) on it, but the weight of the glass plate (e) is heavy and it is not easy to fit it on the frame.

  If the panel has a paper core as a filler (core material) and metal surfaces are pasted on both sides, the lower end of the panel is placed on a baseboard, and the upper end of the panel is engaged with a ceiling rail fixed to the ceiling. Combined installation, both sides of the panel can be connected to standing studs. However, in the case of a very heavy glass panel, it is not possible to have the same installation structure as that of a panel to which a metal surface material is adhered.

Therefore, a tension bracket is interposed between the upper end of the panel and the ceiling. By stretching the tension bracket, the panel is pushed down to be stably placed on the baseboard, and the panel upper end is connected to the ceiling. Constructed partitions are known.
The "partition panel fixing structure" according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-90233 is a simple and reliable method for installing and fixing a partition panel while adjusting the variation of a housing or the like. The head of the adjuster bolt to be freely mounted can be formed so as to be expandable in the groove width direction of the ceiling rail, and the partition panel can be stretched and fixed in the groove of the ceiling rail.

By the way, the ceiling bolt and the upper end of the panel are connected and fixed by rotating the adjuster bolt using the adjuster bolt. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a screw hole into which the adjuster bolt fits in the upper end portion of the panel, and therefore, it cannot be applied to the glass panel targeted by the present invention. In the case of a brace using an adjuster screw, it functions to fix the upper end of the panel by pressing the panel downward. However, in the case of a large glass panel, it is not sufficient to simply press downward.
"Fixing structure of partition panel" according to JP 2001-90233 A

  As described above, the partition device using the tension fitting constituted by the adjuster screw has the above-described problems. The present invention is directed to a glass partition using a glass panel having a very heavy weight, and provides a brace fitting capable of stably fixing the upper end of the glass partition to the ceiling and a glass partition ceiling structure using the brace bracket.

  The glass partition of the present invention constitutes a glass panel by fitting a plurality of glass plates into a quadrilateral frame, and the lower end of this glass panel is placed on a baseboard supported at an appropriate height by an adjuster. The upper end of the glass panel is engaged with a ceiling rail fixed to the ceiling. In addition, a tension metal fitting is interposed between the upper end of the panel and the ceiling, and the upper end of the glass panel is connected and fixed to the ceiling.

  By the way, the brace fitting is provided by screwing an adjuster screw to the base, and a contact plate is attached to the lower end of the adjuster screw, and the adjuster screw is lowered to hit the upper panel of the glass panel. The contact plate contacts. Therefore, the base is screwed to the ceiling from the inside of the ceiling rail, and therefore, fastening pieces for screwing are provided on both sides of the base. A nut is fixed inside the base, and an adjuster screw is screwed into a screw hole of the nut. In some cases, screw holes are formed in the base itself.

  The adjuster screw extends downward, and a contact plate is attached to the head at the lower end. If the adjuster screw is rotated and lowered, the contact plate can contact the upper panel of the glass panel. Here, a hole is formed in the glass groove bottom of the upper rail of the glass panel so that the adjuster screw can be rotated, and a tool is inserted into the hole to rotate the head of the adjuster screw. In addition, another hole may pass through the glass groove bottom centering on the tool insertion hole, and a screw may be inserted into this hole to fasten the contact plate and the upper rail. Here, the shape of the contact plate may be a disk or a square plate. In the case of a disk, the shape is welded to the head of an adjuster screw. In the case of a square plate, only the adjuster screw is turned to rotate the square plate. The plate can also have a mounting structure that does not rotate.

  In the glass partition of the present invention, the lower end of the glass panel is placed on the baseboard, the upper end is engaged with the ceiling rail, and a tension fitting is interposed between the upper end of the glass panel and the ceiling. By rotating the adjuster screw provided on this brace, the contact plate fixed to the head of the lower end of the adjuster screw contacts the upper glass panel rail, and the upper glass panel rail is screwed to the contact plate. The

  Therefore, the upper end of the glass panel engages with the ceiling rail and is connected to the ceiling via the tension fitting, so that a very heavy glass panel can be stably installed. Here, the four-sided frame body in which a plurality of glass plates are fitted becomes large, and the central portion of the upper beam is bent and deformed by its own weight, but this bending is prevented by screwing the upper beam to the contact plate. Even when the contact plate is not screwed, the upper end of the glass panel can be positioned by engaging the contact plate with the upper rail.

  The tension fitting of the present invention is provided with an adjuster screw. The adjuster screw is screwed into a screw hole provided in the base, and a contact plate is provided on the lower end head portion of the adjuster screw extending downward. It is a connection structure that is screwed to the glass panel upper crosspiece via a contact plate. Accordingly, the glass panel does not need a screw hole into which the adjuster screw is screwed and fits like the “fixing structure of the partition panel” according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-90233. Suitable for

Are arranged in places on the floor rail 16, and the baseboard 7 is supported at an appropriate height by the adjusters 17, 17. And the lower end of the glass panel 1 is mounted on the baseboard 7. The heavy glass plate 2 fits into the glass groove 13 of the lower beam 5 and loads the lower beam 5 with its weight.

  The lower rail 5 of the glass panel 1 is screwed to the baseboard 7 with a screw inserted from the glass groove 13. Of course, screwing is performed before the glass plate 2 is fitted to the four-sided frame, and the lower end of the glass panel 1 is fixed in a stable state. The ceiling rail 8 is fixed to the ceiling surface 18, and the upper end portion of the glass panel 1 is fitted and restrained between both side pieces 19 a and 19 b of the ceiling rail 8.

  For a general panel with a surface material attached, a structure in which a ceiling rail is fixed to the ceiling and the upper end of the panel is engaged with the ceiling rail is sufficient, but in the glass panel of the present invention having a very large weight, The brace 20 is provided. That is, it has a structure in which the ceiling and the upper rail 4 of the glass panel 1 are connected via the tension fitting 20.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of FIG. 3 showing a structure in which a tension fitting 20 is interposed between the upper end of the glass panel 1 and the ceiling. The brace 20 has a U-shaped base 21 screwed to the ceiling, and an adjuster screw 23 is screwed into a nut 22 welded to the base 21 and extends downward. A disk 25 functioning as a contact plate is fixed to the head 24 provided at the lower end of the adjuster screw 23 by welding, and if the adjuster screw 23 is rotated, the disk 25 can also rotate and move up and down. I can do it.

  The disk 25 abuts on the upper frame 4 of the glass panel 1, and the upper frame 4 is connected and fixed to the disk 25 with screws 26 in this state. Therefore, the upper end of the glass panel 1 is connected to the ceiling via the tension fitting 20. By the way, the adjustment screw 23 is adjusted from the bottom of the glass groove 13 in a state where the glass plate 2 is not fitted. That is, a hole is provided in the glass groove bottom, and the head 24 is rotated by inserting a tool into the hole. Further, the screw 26 is inserted into another hole and fixed to the disk 25. That is, the head 24 is rotated and lowered by a tool, and the upper bar 4 is screwed to the disk 25 with a screw 26 when the disk 25 comes close to the upper bar 4.

  FIG. 5 is a specific example of the brace 20 and shows a front view, a bottom view, and a side view, respectively. Fastening pieces 27 and 27 extend to both sides of the U-shaped base 21, and elongated holes are formed in the fastening pieces 27 and 27. As shown in FIG. 4, screws 28 and 28 are inserted into the long holes 27 and 27 and fixed to the ceiling. The nut 22 is welded to the base 21, and the adjuster screw 23 is screwed into the screw hole of the nut 22.

  The nut 22 is long, and therefore the adjuster screw 23 can be lengthened to extend downward from the base 21 greatly. And the disk 25 is mounted and welded to the head 24 located in a lower end via a flat washer. The upper rail 4 has a hole for tightening a screw, and screws 26 and 26 inserted from the glass groove 13 of the upper rail 4 are tightened to the disk 25, and the upper beam 4 is connected to the disk 25. Here, the base 21 is not limited to a U-shape, and may be configured as a block. When the base 21 is a block, a screw hole into which an adjuster screw 23 is screwed is provided at the center. I can do it.

  The upper frame 4 of the large glass panel 1 becomes longer, and the glass plate 2 is fitted in the glass groove 13 formed in the upper beam 4, but a gap is formed between the bottom of the glass groove. 4 is bent and deformed by the action of its own weight. The brace 20 is generally arranged between the glass plates 2 and 2 in FIG. Therefore, in the case of the glass partition of (a), one brace bracket 20, 20 is arranged in the middle part, and in the case of the glass partition shown in (b), the upper rail 3 and the ceiling are connected. ing.

  FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the brace 20 and shows a front view, a bottom view, and a side view, respectively. The basic form is the same as that of the brace 20 shown in FIG. 5, but the height dimension of the base 21 shown in FIG. 5 is increased. Therefore, the nut 22 is fitted into a round pipe 29 and welded to each other. .

  Of course, you may weld to the base 21 using the nut 22 suitable for the height of the base 21, without using the round pipe 29. FIG. FIG. 7 shows a connection structure in which the upper end of the glass panel 1 and the ceiling are connected using the brace 20 shown in FIG. Although the basic structure is the same as the connection structure described with reference to FIG. 4, the ceiling rail 8 fixed to the ceiling has a narrow width and is fitted in an upper opening formed in the upper rail of the glass panel 1.
