Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a horizontal axis rotating window with an improved airtight structure.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Horizontal axis revolving windows are made by attaching the vertical stile of the shoji to the shaft provided horizontally in the center of the left and right vertical frames, and moving the upper part of the shoji towards the indoor side and the lower part. The shoji is opened and closed by rotating the shoji toward the outside (or vice versa). In such a horizontal axis revolving window, since the top and bottom of the shoji open into and out of the window frame, the airtight structure between the stile and the window frame is different at the top and bottom of the window, so it is difficult to obtain a high level of airtight performance as it is. However, in recent years, as building exteriors have become more sophisticated, there has been a demand for high-performance horizontal-axis revolving windows that are large in size and excellent in design.
Therefore, in order to close the gap between the window frame and the stile and ensure excellent airtightness, a revolving window has been proposed in which an auxiliary material is provided on the indoor side. An example of such a horizontal axis rotating window will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in Fig. 1A, when this revolving window is viewed from the outside of the room, there are an upper stile 4, a lower stile 5, and a left and right vertical frame 4 on the inside of the window frame, which consists of an upper frame 1, a lower frame 2, and left and right vertical frames 3. Stiles 6
A shoji made of glass 7 is fitted into this. On the other hand, on the indoor side of this revolving window, as shown in FIG. The shoji is rotatably supported relative to the window frame. And, with this axis as the border,
An auxiliary material 9 which also serves as a decorative board is provided on the upper part on the stile side and the lower part on the frame side. When the window is closed, the upper and lower auxiliary members 9 overlap the frame and the stile on both sides of the indoor surface, thereby closing the gap between the frame and the stile.

In conventional revolving windows as described above, it is important to ensure airtightness between the auxiliary material and the frame and stile. Since it is necessary to seal the parts, the installation position of the airtight material and the shape of the auxiliary material are different for the upper and lower parts. As a result, divisions are formed in the airtight material, making it impossible to provide a continuous airtight material around the four circumferences of the frame or stile, making it difficult to obtain a high degree of airtightness. Furthermore, since the auxiliary material 9 itself is divided into upper and lower parts of the window, it is difficult to maintain the airtightness and watertightness of this divided part. This turned out to be a major drawback.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was proposed to solve the drawbacks of the conventional horizontal rotating window as described above. It is an object of the present invention to provide a horizontal axis rotating window having airtightness and watertightness.

[Summary of the invention] The horizontal shaft revolving window of the invention is constructed by using upper and lower auxiliary members provided on the interior surface of the interior, on the stile side at the top and the frame side at the bottom, respectively, with cylindrical shapes placed at the same position on the exterior side of the shaft. Protrusions of the same shape are provided so that when the window is closed, these protrusions butt against each other and form a straight line.
By bringing the airtight material continuously provided around each of the four circumferences of the stile and frame into contact with this linear continuous protrusion, airtightness between the auxiliary material and the stile and frame is ensured, and furthermore, the upper and lower By closing the openings provided at the butting ends of the protruding parts with an airtight connector and butting the protrusions together through this airtight connector, the airtightness and watertightness of the divided parts of the auxiliary material can be improved. It is elevated.
