Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Use The present invention relates to a device for connecting horizontal members and vertical members such as latches and muntins that constitute transoms or fittings.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A known device is known in which the end face of a muntin is brought into contact with a connecting wall of a muntin, and a screw is screwed into a screw hole of the muntin from the connecting wall, thereby connecting a muntin and a muntin.

With this connecting device, screws must be screwed together, making the work of connecting the studs and the muntins troublesome. In particular, since the transom has a large number of muntins, the task of assembling the transom becomes troublesome.

Purpose of the invention The purpose is to easily connect the horizontal and vertical members without using screws.

Structure of the device An opening is formed in the connecting wall of the horizontal members, a notch is formed in the vertical member, the vertical member is inserted into the opening, and a retaining member facing the notch is provided on the connecting wall, and the vertical member is inserted into the opening. A cross member and a vertical member are connected by caulking the locking part to a retaining member.

Example Figure 1 is a front view of the transom, with left and right vertical frames 1, 1
A transom 4 is installed between the upper frame 2 and the blind 3,
The transom 4 has upper and lower horizontal sticks 5, 6 and left and right vertical sticks 7, 7.
is framed in a rectangular shape, and a plurality of muntins 8 are connected between the upper and lower horizontal extensions 5 and 6.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 1 in FIG. A retaining member is provided, and the retaining member consists of a protrusion 5d integrally formed on the connecting wall 5c and a block 11 placed on the connecting wall 5c. , 8d to form an elongated member with a rectangular cross section, and an opening 9 is formed in the portion of the upper horizontal brace 5 facing each muntin 8, and the end face 8' side of the muntin 8 is formed with an opening 9. A cutout 10 is formed in the outer wall 8b. The opening 9
is the inner wall side portion of the connecting wall 5c from the protrusion 5d and the inner wall 5
a, and the notch 10 is formed across the outer wall 8.
b and both side walls 8c and 8d, and is U-shaped, and the end surface 8' side portion of the muntin 8 remains to form a locking portion 8e.

Then, one end of the muntin 8 is inserted through the opening 9, the top surface 10a of the notch 10 is brought into contact with the connecting wall 5c, the bottom surface 10b is brought into contact with the opening end surface 9a of the connecting wall 5c, and the end surface 8' is brought into contact with the inner wall. At the same time, the lower surface 10c is brought into contact with the opening end face 9b of the locking part 5a, and the part of the locking part 8e that protrudes from the block 11 is caulked to attach the muntin 8 to the upper side via the block 11 and the protrusion 5d. It is connected to child 5.

Because of this, the upper horizontal brace 5 and the locking portion 8e can be connected by simply inserting the muntin 8 into the opening 9 of the upper horizontal brace 5 and caulking the locking portion 8e. The attachment 5 and the muntin 8 can be easily connected.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 5 of the connecting wall 5c
d may be made longer and only the projection 5d is used as a retaining member, or as shown in FIG. 5, a screw hole 5e is integrally formed on the connecting wall 5c and
Only e may be used as a retaining member. Also, the 6th
As shown in the figure, the opening 9 may be formed up to the upper end of the inner wall 5a.

Further, in the above embodiments, the connection between the upper horizontal member and the muntin was described, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be used as a device for connecting the horizontal member and the vertical member.

Effects of the invention: The horizontal and vertical members can be easily connected by simply caulking them.
