Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The vertically movable opening/closing window for buildings according to this invention is
It can be used as a window for lighting, ventilation, or smoke exhaust in various buildings.

(Prior Art) Vertically movable opening/closing windows as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 have been known as windows for lighting, ventilation, or smoke exhaust in various buildings. This opening/closing window has upper frame 1
A glass shoji 9 with glass 8 held inside the upper stile 5, lower stile 6, and left and right vertical stile 7, 7 is installed inside a window frame 4 consisting of a lower frame 2 and left and right vertical frames 3, 3. It is constructed by storing items that can be moved up and down. When closing the window, the glass shoji 9 is raised to the top of the window frame 4 as shown in Figure 1, and when it is opened, the glass shoji 9 is raised inside the window frame 4 as shown in Figure 2. lower it.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional vertically movable opening/closing window for buildings constructed and operated as described above, the groove for guiding the glass shoji formed on the inner periphery of the window frame 4 is shallow,
Each frame 5, 6, 7 that constitutes the glass shoji 9 is a window frame 4.
It looks bad because it protrudes inward from the inner edges of the frames 1, 2, and 3 that make up the glass shoji 9, and when the glass shoji 9 is lowered for ventilation, the upper stile 5 of this glass shoji 9 looks like the one shown in Figure 2. As shown, the inside of the window frame 4 is partitioned into upper and lower parts, which not only obstructs the view through the window but also impairs the lighting into the building.

A stile is not provided on the upper edge of the glass that rises and lowers inside the window frame, so that the stile does not obstruct visibility and daylighting even when the upper edge of the glass is located in the middle of the window frame in the height direction. As a structure for this purpose, an elevating window device (so-called window regulator) for automobiles has been known for a long time, but it is possible to apply the structure of this elevating window device for automobiles as is to vertically movable operating windows for buildings. I can't.

In other words, the opening area of automobile windows is much smaller than that of building windows, and the weight of the glass used is also light. The edges are directly engaged and supported on the inner surfaces of the left and right vertical frames. Further, the lower edge of the glass is directly fixed to the glass holding part of the lifting mechanism.

In the case of elevating window devices for automobiles, since the glass is small, the structure described above can prevent the glass from rattling inside the window frame, but the vertically movable type for buildings, which is the target of this invention In the case of opening/closing windows,
Since the glass is large and heavy, it is not possible to adopt a structure in which only the glass is supported inside the window frame, both from the standpoint of strength and from the standpoint of reducing friction with the vertical frame.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention was developed to create upper and lower structures for buildings that can hold glass firmly, have a good appearance, and do not impede visibility or lighting when opened for ventilation. It was designed to provide a movable opening/closing window.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The vertically movable opening/closing window for buildings of the present invention has grooves formed on the inner surfaces of the left and right vertical frames of a window frame consisting of an upper frame, a lower frame, and left and right vertical frames. The left and right vertical frames that make up the glass shoji are housed inside the frame so that they can move up and down without protruding from the grooves, and the lower frame of the glass shoji is housed inside the lower frame so that it can move vertically in parallel. The upper stile is omitted for the glass shoji.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the glass shoji 9 is housed inside the window frame 4, which is made up of an upper frame 1, a lower frame 2, and left and right vertical frames 3, 3, and is vertically movable. The glass 8 is surrounded on three sides by left and right vertical frames 7, 7, and the upper frame is omitted, and the upper edge 8a of the glass 8 forms the upper side of the glass shoji 9.

Further, the left and right vertical frames 7, 7 are housed in grooves provided on the inner surfaces of the vertical frames 3, 3 forming the window frame 4,
When viewed from the front or back, it is hidden behind the vertical frames 3, 3 so that it cannot be seen. Further, the lower stile 6 is movable vertically in parallel within the lower frame 2 constituting the window frame 4.

(Function) Since the vertically movable opening/closing window for buildings of the present invention is constructed as described above, when the glass shoji 9 is moved fully upwards and the opening/closing window is closed, the third
As shown in the figure, only the glass 8 is exposed inside the window frame 4.

Also, when the glass shoji 9 is lowered for ventilation,
As shown in FIG. 4, the upper edge 8a of the window glass 8 is connected to the upper frame 1.
Ventilation can be carried out through a rectangular opening 10 exposed below and formed between this upper edge 8a and the upper frame 1. At this time, since no upper stile is provided on the upper edge 8a of the glass 8, the inside of the window frame 4 is partitioned off by the upper stile, thereby preventing poor lighting and visibility.

Moreover, since the glass 8 is supported by the frames 6 and 7 except for the upper edge, by engaging each frame 6 and 7 with the vertical frames 3 and 3 that constitute the window frame 4, the glass 8
Even when the area of the window frame 4 is large, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the glass 8 from shaking inside the window frame 4.

(Example) Next, an example that embodies the vertically movable opening/closing window for buildings of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 5 shows the engagement state between the left and right vertical frames 3, 3 of the window frame 4 and the left and right vertical frames 7, 7 of the glass shoji 9.
6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of the figure, and enlarged line B-B of FIG. FIG.

Each of the vertical frames 3, 3 constituting the window frame 4 is made by joining together a base piece 11 and an auxiliary piece 12, each having a substantially L-shaped cross section, with screws, etc., and between the two pieces 11, 12, there is a vertical frame of a glass shoji. A groove 13 of a size that can accommodate the frame 7 is formed. The depth of the groove 13 is formed to be sufficiently larger than the width of the vertical stile 7, so that the vertical stile 7 accommodated in the groove 13 cannot be seen from the outside. Packing 14 attached to the opening of the groove 13,
14 is in sliding contact with the front and back surfaces of the glass 8 (the drawing shows double glass, but the same applies to single glass), and maintains airtightness between the vertical frame 3 and the glass shoji 9.

Next, the upper frame 5 is made by combining a base piece 15 and an auxiliary piece 16 and forming a groove 17 between both pieces 15 and 16, into which the upper end of the glass 8 can freely enter. . Air-tight packings 18 and 18 are also attached to the opening of this groove 17, and a rubbing material 19 is coated on these packings 18 and 18 in order to smoothly move the glass 8 in and out of the groove 17. has been done.

Further, the lower frame 2 formed by combining the base piece 20 and the auxiliary piece 21 is provided with a deep groove 22 so that the lower frame 6 of the glass shoji 9 can move in parallel in the vertical direction sufficiently inside the lower frame 2. Packings 23, 23 are also attached to the upper end opening of this groove 22.

The left and right vertical frames 7, 7 and the lower frame 6 that constitute the glass shoji 9 are, as described above, the left and right vertical frames 3, 3 and the lower frame 2.
Because each frame is housed within the frame, each frame is not exposed outside of each frame. When the glass shoji 9 is to be moved up and down, the glass shoji may be suspended by a wire and the wire may be driven by a motor, or various other structures may be employed.

(Effects of the invention) The vertically movable opening/closing window for buildings of the present invention is configured as described above, so the frame of the glass shoji is not visible from the outside, giving it a good appearance, and when opened, the inside of the window frame is upwards. Since it is not partitioned by frames, there is no problem with poor lighting or visibility when it is open.

In addition, the glass is supported by frames except for the upper edge, and by engaging each frame with the vertical frame that makes up the window frame, even when the glass has a large area and is heavy, this glass can be Since it can be firmly held inside the window frame without wobbling, it is fully applicable to windows with wide opening areas.
