Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the structure of a bay window with a shutter-type shutter that closes off the top and front surfaces of the bay window with a shutter.

[Background Art] Bay windows with shutter-type storm shutters have been known for a long time. By the way, this bay window with shutter-type shutters can be pulled down from the upper storage compartment,
Alternatively, when pulling up the shutter into the storage compartment, the back of the shutter may rub against the center of the open outer surface, which is the corner of the bay window, making it difficult to raise and lower the shutter smoothly. There was a problem that the surface was scratched and looked unsightly. This is because at the corners of the bay window, that is, at the blind part located at the border between the top and front parts of the bay window, the center part of the shutter in the left-right direction hangs downward, so the back surface of the central part of the shutter is the blind outside part. This causes the above-mentioned problems. This problem becomes more pronounced as the length of the shutter in the left-right direction increases.As a result, there is a limit to the length of the shutter in the left-right direction, and a shutter with a long left-right length cannot be used. There was also a limit to the length of the bay window in the left and right directions, and it was not possible to construct a bay window with shutter-type shutters that was long in the left and right direction.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to prevent the shutter from sagging even if the central part of the shutter bends downward at the corner of the bay window when the shutter is raised or lowered. There is no direct surface contact between the guide rails and the outer surface of the shutter, which prevents damage to the outer surface of the shutter, and allows for smooth lifting and lowering of the shutter. To provide a structure of a bay window with a shutter type rain shutter, which can be separated by a necessary distance from the shutter, thereby preventing damage caused by the shutter and ensuring smooth raising and lowering of the shutter.

[Disclosure of the invention] The structure of the bay window with a shutter-type shutter of the invention is as follows:
Storage section 3 that stores shutter 2 at the top of bay window 1
, and the shutter 2 pulled out from the storage section 3.
The top surface 4 of the bay window 1 and the front surface 5 of the bay window 1 can be closed freely, and guide rails 8 into which both ends of the shutter 2 are inserted and guided when the shutter 2 is raised and lowered are installed on both sides of the protruding tip of the bay window 1. A gap adjusting member 7 is interposed between both ends of the outer surface of the blind 6 which is a partition member between the top surface portion 4 and the front surface portion 5 of the bay window 1 and the back surface of the guide rail 2. By adopting such a configuration, the above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. In the figure, 1 is a bay window, and a storage section 3 for storing a shutter 2 is provided at the top. In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes the top surface of the bay window 1, and a glass-like light projection plate is provided so that light can be let in from this portion as well. Further, numeral 5 in the figure is the front part of the bay window 1. Here, the shutter 2 pulled out from the storage section 3 closes off the top section 4 and the front section 5. Reference numeral 8 in the figure is a guide rail, and both left and right ends of the shutter 2 are fitted into this guide rail 8 to move up and down. The shutter 2 is constructed by connecting a plurality of shutter bodies 9 such that they can be folded up and down. A protrusion 10 projects upward from the upper end of the shutter body 9, a locking piece 11 is provided at the upper end of the protrusion 10, and a recess 12 opening downward is provided at the lower end of the shutter body 9. The projecting piece 10 of the lower shutter element 9 is inserted into the recess 12 of the upper shutter element 9, and the locking piece 11 can be freely locked to the lower locking piece 13 on the lower edge of the recess 12. This is what has become the norm. At the corner part of the bay window 1, that is, at the border between the top part 4 and the front part 5, there is a top part 4 and a front part 5.
A mesh 6, which is a partition member, is provided to separate the two. The guide rail 8 is located on the outside of the outer surface of the blind 6, and a gap adjustment member 7 is interposed between both ends of the outer surface of the blind 6 in the longitudinal direction (that is, in the left-right direction) and the back surface of the guide rail 8. The space adjustment member 7 closes the gap between the outer surface of the blind 6 and the back surface of the guide rail 8. Although there is no particular limitation on the material of the spacing adjustment material 7, it is preferable that the material has good weather resistance and water resistance. Here, the spacing adjustment material 7
The thickness of the shutter 2 is determined depending on the length of the shutter 2 in the left and right direction. In other words, if the length of the shutter 2 in the left and right direction is long, the shutter 2 tends to bend greatly downward in an arch shape at the corner of the bay window 1.
If the length of the shutter 2 in the left-right direction is short, the amount of downward deflection will be small, so it is preferable to use a thin spacing adjustment member 7. When the shutter 2 is moved up and down, the shutter 2 bends downward in the vicinity of the outer surface of the blind 6, which is the corner of the bay window 1, so that the central part in the left and right direction becomes lower. Since the position of the guide rail 8 is determined so that the shutter 2 does not touch the outer surface of the blind 6, the shutter 2 moves up and down without contacting the blind 6.

[Effect of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, a space adjustment material is provided between both sides of the open outer surface, which is a partition member between the top surface and the front surface of the bay window, and the back surface of the guide rail. Since the outer surface of the shutter is interposed therebetween, a sufficient distance can be secured between the outer surface of the shutter and the back surface of the shutter. Even if the shutter is bent in an arched direction, the central part of the shutter does not come into contact with the open outer surface, allowing the shutter to move up and down smoothly, and the shutter does not rub the open outer surface. It is something that does not get scratched and does not make the appearance unsightly. Moreover, even if the shutter bends downward in an arch shape at the corner of the bay window, the shutter does not come into contact with the open outer surface, so it can be used even if the shutter is long in the horizontal direction. It can also be configured with a long bay window.
