Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a panel fixing structure that constitutes a fitting portion of a panel such as glass in a sash used for an entrance or the like.

Conventionally, when configuring the fitting part of the sash, a spacer is installed in advance in the panel mounting groove of one of the vertical members facing each other, and the spacer is installed in the panel mounting groove of the other vertical member to which the spacer is not installed. First, fit one end of the panel into the panel mounting groove to position the panel between the opposing panel mounting grooves, then fit the other end of the panel into the panel mounting groove where the spacer is located, and then fit the panel into the spacer. There is known a method of fixing the panel by press-fitting a sealing material between the panel and the groove opening edge of each panel mounting groove in the abutted state. This method is called the Kendon method, and when this method is adopted, there is no spacer in the other panel mounting groove.

In addition, instead of integrally molding the panel mounting groove, one side wall that forms the panel mounting groove is formed as a removable ridge, and a spacer is attached to each panel mounting groove without the ridge attached. A means for fixing the panel by installing the panel between both mounting grooves with both ends supported and in contact with each other, and then attaching the ridged edge as the panel mounting groove and press-fitting a sealing material between the panel and the leading edge. It has been known. Such a method is called a rim method.

However, in the Kendon method,
Since no spacer is provided in the other panel mounting groove to ensure movement space when installing the panel, when transporting the frame with the panel installed, for example from a factory to a construction site, the panel may be damaged during transport. Because it moves within the mounting groove mentioned above and comes into contact with the vertical member,
There was a problem with the panel being damaged.

On the other hand, in the ridged edge method, both ends of the panel are supported by spacers, so
Although such movement of the panel within the mounting groove does not occur, there are inconveniences such as damage to the panel due to the ledge falling off the vertical member during transportation.

In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to provide a spacer in the other panel mounting groove in the above-mentioned Kendon method. However, in that case, the space for moving the panel is lost, and the vertical member must be removed when installing the panel.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the use of the push-edge method when attaching panels to vertical members, and to use the kendon method as a panel fixing means. It is an object of the present invention to provide a panel fixing structure of a fitting part that prevents the panel from moving and being damaged during transportation and allows the panel to be easily attached.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, in the fitting part of the sash, which is formed by fitting a panel into the panel fitting groove of the opposing vertical members, One end edge of the panel is supported in contact with a spacer installed in advance in the panel mounting groove, and the other end edge of the panel fitted into the panel mounting groove of the other vertical member is formed on the facing wall of the panel mounting groove. The panel is characterized in that it is supported in contact with a removable spacer inserted between the bottom wall of the panel mounting groove and the edge of the panel through the through hole.

The present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments.

1 to 4 show an entrance door to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied. As shown in the figure, this entrance door has a transom fitting section 7 above the entrance/exit portion 20 into which the door 19 is incorporated, and sleeve fitting sections 8 and 9 on both sides. Furthermore, glass panels 2 and 2a are incorporated into each of the fitting portions 7, 8, and 9, respectively. This entrance door is assembled in a factory, transported to a construction site with the glass 2 installed, and installed at the opening of the building at that location.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a frame which is a component of the entrance door, and this frame 1 includes vertical members such as a left vertical frame 5, a right vertical frame 6, left and right mullions 11, 11a, an upper frame, a blind frame, a lower frame, etc. It consists of a horizontal frame 12. The left and right mullions 11, 11a have glass mounting grooves 13, 13a, which are panel mounting grooves, on their backs to each other across a bottom wall 14 forming a boundary wall. Glass mounting groove 13a on the side facing the left and right vertical frames 5, 6
It is formed deeper than the The bottom wall 14 has a plurality of spacer mounting holes 1 along its longitudinal direction.
5 is drilled. This mounting hole 15 is formed by continuously forming a large hole portion 15a and a small hole portion 15b, and in the illustrated embodiment (FIGS. 4 and 5), a square hole and a square hole are shown. However, the shape of the mounting hole according to the present invention is not limited to this.

3 is a sealing material such as an elastic sealant or a gasket attached to the periphery of the glass 2. Said bottom wall 1
The spacer 4 fitted into the mounting hole 15 of 4 is
The glass 2 is fixedly held by coming into contact with the end surface of the glass 2, and serves to reliably prevent the glass from vibrating during transportation of the entrance door. The spacer 4, which is intended to prevent the glass from rattling, is provided between the long locking head 41 and the short locking head 42, which have a cross-sectional shape that matches the large hole 15a of the mounting hole. A slightly narrow neck portion 43 is interposed between the two. Note that it is necessary to prepare a number of spacers 4 corresponding to the number of mounting holes 15 of the frame 1, but as shown in FIG. They may be connected at 41 to form a multiple spacer 4'.

Now, the work of attaching the glass 2 to the parapet fitting part 7 is carried out as follows.

First, left and right vertical frames 5 and 6, a pair of left and right mullions 1
1, 11a and each horizontal frame 12 are used as a frame only, and the glass 2 is not attached. In this state, for example, attach the spacer 4 to the bottom wall 14 from the shallow glass mounting groove 13a of the left mullion 11 in a penetrating state, and insert the long locking head 41 into the deep glass mounting groove 13 and the short locking head 41. The stop head 42 is inserted into the shallow glass mounting groove 13a.
It protrudes inward. Next, one side edge A of the glass 2 is attached to the right mullion 11 which is not attached with the spacer 4.
Swallow it into the glass mounting groove 13 of a. Since this glass mounting groove 13 has a sufficient depth dimension S, the glass 2 fits between the two vertical columns 11 and 11a, and the other side edge (R) faces the glass mounting groove 13 of the left vertical column 11. Then, by moving the glass 2 laterally, the other end edge R is swallowed into the glass mounting groove 13, and the end surface of the glass 2 is brought into contact with the locking head 41 of the spacer 4, and in this state, the right By attaching the spacer 4 to the mullion 11a in the same manner as described above, the long locking head 41 protruding into the glass mounting groove 13 is interposed between the end surface of the glass 2 and the bottom wall 14, and the glass 2 is abutted and supported.

That is, the glass 2 assembled in the mullions 11, 11a is held by the spacers 4 at both end surfaces thereof.

Further, a short locking head 42 is protruded in the shallow glass mounting groove 13a of each mullion 11, 11a, and the glass mounting groove 13a is provided with a short locking head 42.
The glasses 2a of the sleeve fitting parts 8 and 9 will be installed, but the installation method is the same for both, so
The sleeve fitting portion 8 on one side will be explained.

The sleeve fitting portion 8 is formed between the left vertical frame 5 and the left mullion 11, and the glass mounting groove 13b of the left vertical frame 5 is the same as the deep glass mounting groove 1 of the left mullion 11.
It is formed with the same depth dimension S as 3.

As mentioned above, the short locking head 42 of the spacer 4 is already installed in the glass mounting groove 13a of the left mullion 11.
protrudes, so the glass 2 cannot be swallowed from this glass mounting groove 13a first.

Therefore, first, one side edge C of the glass 2a is swallowed into the glass attachment groove 13b of the left vertical frame 5, and then the other side edge D is swallowed into the glass attachment groove 13a of the left vertical frame 11. The glass end surface on the other side edge 2 is brought into contact with the short locking head 42 of the spacer 4.

Furthermore, a spacer 4a must be attached to the glass attachment groove 13b of the left vertical frame 5 to secure the glass 2a. The spacer 4a here is
The glass mounting groove 13b may be penetrated and fixed to the bottom wall 14 by the same means as described above, but with this method, when attaching the frame 1 of the entrance door to the building, as shown in FIG. The entrance door frame 1 cannot be installed because the locking head protruding toward the outer circumference of the vertical frame collides with the waste frame 30 that is preliminarily attached to the inner circumferential surface of the building opening. Therefore, in this case, the installation is not performed using the bottom wall 51, but by using the facing wall 1 on the indoor side of the glass installation groove 13b.
A through hole 16 is provided in the glass mounting groove 13b, and the spacer 4a is inserted through the through hole 16 into the glass mounting groove 13b to be interposed between the glass end surface and the bottom wall 14.

Then, in order to hide the through hole 6 and maintain the design from the indoor side, a batten 17, which is a closing material, is attached to the facing wall 10. A batten piece 18 is used for installation.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, the frame 1 for the entrance door is installed by contacting the indoor side long piece 31 and the outdoor side short piece 32 of the waste frame 30 attached to the inner peripheral wall of the opening of the building. Support wall 10 for left vertical frame 5
A screw 2 is formed protruding from the top and screws into the screw receiving part 52.
This is done by fixing it to the indoor side elongated piece 31 using 3.

In this case, the batten piece 18 is attached to this screw 2.
3 to an appropriate location on the indoor side elongated piece 31. The batten piece 18 protrudes toward the indoor side 2
It has strip locking pieces 24, 24, and a batten 17.
The locking leg pieces 25, 25 are connected to the locking pieces 24,
It is attached by fitting and locking into 24.

Note that if the glass 2a is damaged, the through hole 16 can be removed by removing the batten 17 and batten piece 18.
The spacer 4a can be attached and detached from there.
By removing this spacer 4a, a space in which the glass 2a can move can be secured in the glass mounting groove 13b of the left vertical frame 5, so a new glass 2a can be installed.
By the Kendon method, left vertical frame 5 and left mullion 1
The spacer 4a can be inserted into the glass mounting grooves 13b and 13a of No. 1, and after the glass is assembled, the spacer 4a can be inserted into the glass mounting groove 13b through the through hole 16.
It can be fitted inside. However,
Since it is not necessary to transport the frame 1 after it is attached to the opening, it is not necessarily necessary to insert the spacer 4a therebetween.

Note that the entrance/exit portion 20 to which the door 19 is attached
As shown in FIG. 3, the opening of the glass attachment groove 13 can be closed by attaching the door stop auxiliary frame 22 to which the door stop packing 21 is attached.

In the present invention having the above configuration, a spacer is interposed between both ends of the panel fitted in the opposing panel mounting grooves and each groove bottom wall, and the spacer allows both ends of the panel to be attached. Since they are in contact with each other, it is possible to completely prevent the panel from moving laterally when transporting the fitting part with the panel still assembled. This has the effect of preventing panel damage.

In addition, a through hole was formed in the facing wall of the panel mounting groove of one of the vertical members, and a removable spacer was inserted through this through hole, so if necessary, the spacer could be removed via the through hole.
Space for moving the panel can be secured within the panel mounting groove. Therefore, if a panel such as glass is damaged, a new panel can be inserted into the panel mounting groove without removing the vertical member etc. from the opening in the building, and as a result, replacing the panel is extremely easy. And it can be done safely.
