Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a vertical member used as a vertical stile for a shoji screen such as a window that fits into a window frame of a building or a door that fits into a door frame.

(Prior Art) As is well known, a shoji is constructed by assembling a vertical member, which is a vertical stile, and a horizontal member, which is a horizontal stile. Generally, a horizontal member is placed between the upper and lower ends of the vertical members arranged on the left and right, and the end surfaces of the upper and lower horizontal members are brought into contact with the inner surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the vertical members, and the outer surfaces of the vertical members are Fix the screws driven in from the beginning to the horizontal members and assemble them vertically.

The conventional vertical member has an inner surface into which the glass is inserted,
The outer surface, which contacts the window frame, had a completely different function. That is, since the vertical member is a long member extruded from aluminum, grooves into which glass or beads are fitted and portions for receiving the end surfaces of the horizontal member must be formed in the length direction on the inner surface. In addition, a groove-like portion must be formed in the length direction on the outer surface for fitting a cushioning material or packing material to the window frame.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Therefore, with conventional vertical members, the outer surface cannot be used as the inner surface or the inner surface can be used as the outer surface.
Only one type of horizontal member with expected length can be assembled. However, depending on the purpose of use of the shoji, decoration, or economy, the expected dimensions of the horizontal members may be made shorter than the expected dimensions of the vertical members. In such a case, the vertical members must be molded separately, which is not only extremely uneconomical, but also requires a separate vertical member for each shoji to be assembled.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and includes a groove-shaped first receiving part that fits the end face of the horizontal member and a bead of the panel on one side of the vertical member. A first cutout is formed on the other side of the vertical member opposite to the one side. By forming a second notch with the same width as the first notch to which the bead of the panel is attached, the first receiving part on one side or the second receiving part on the other side can be used depending on the expected dimensions of the cross member. The shoji is assembled with upper and lower horizontal members and left and right vertical members.

(Example) The present invention will be explained below with reference to embodiments of the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a vertical member extruded from aluminum and having a quadrilateral cross section. On one side of the vertical member 1, a groove-shaped first receiving portion 2 is formed into which the end face of the cross member is fitted. This first receiving part 2 is in the shape of a shallow groove surrounded by a side part 3 of the vertical member 1 and left and right protrusions 4, 4 that project briefly outward from both ends of this side part 3.
A first notch portion 5 is formed in the center of. As will be explained later, this first notch 5 is used to attach a door stop member or a bead of a panel such as glass.

On the other hand, a second receiving portion 6 having a width narrower than the first receiving portion 2 is formed on the other side surface of the vertical member 1 that is opposite to the above-described one side surface. The second receiving portion 6 has shallowly recessed step portions 8, 8 near the left and right ends of the side surface portion 7, and is constituted by the outer surface of the side surface portion 7 and the opposing surface of the step portion 8. Therefore, the first receiving portion 2 and the second receiving portion 6 have different widths due to the difference between the opposing distance between the protrusions 4 and the facing distance between the step portions 8. A second notch 9 having the same width as the first notch 5 is formed in the center of the side surface 7 .

The vertical member of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and has the first
The shoji a shown in the figure and FIG. 2 is the first receiving part 2 of the vertical member 1.
It was assembled using. That is, the left and right vertical members 1 are arranged in parallel so that the first receiving parts 2 face each other, and the cross members 10 are positioned between the upper and lower ends of both the vertical members 1, 1, and the horizontal members 10 are Attach the end to the first receiving part 2
The vertical members 1 and the horizontal members are fixed by screws (not shown) driven into the horizontal members from the outside of the vertical member 1, and the vertical shoji a is assembled. Therefore, the expected dimensions of the horizontal members 10 of the shoji after this assembly are the first
It is almost the same width as the receiving part 2, and is slightly shorter than the expected dimension of the vertical member 1 by the thickness of the projection part 3.

Note that when assembling the vertical members 1 and the horizontal members 10, the side edges and beads 12 of a panel 11 such as glass are fitted into the first notch 5. Also, after assembling the shoji,
Alternatively, before assembly, a door stop member 13 made of hard synthetic resin is fitted into the second notch 9 of each vertical member 1.

The shoji a' shown in FIG. 3 is assembled using the second receiving portion 6 of the vertical member 1. That is, the left and right vertical members 1, 1 are arranged in parallel so that the second receiving parts 6 face each other, and the horizontal member 10' is positioned between the upper and lower ends of both vertical members 1, 1. Each end of the material 10' is
Assemble the vertical shoji a' by fixing the vertical member 1 and the horizontal member 10' with screws (not shown) that fit into the receiving parts 6 and drive from the outside of the vertical member 1 toward the horizontal member 10'. . The rest of the structure of shoji a' is the same as that of shoji a, so the same reference numerals will be given and the explanation will be omitted.

In the above-described shoji a', the estimated dimension of the horizontal member 10' is approximately the same as the width of the second receiving portion 6, and shorter than the estimated dimension of the vertical member 1.

Therefore, in the case of a shoji in which the horizontal members are almost the same as the vertical members, it is sufficient to assemble it using the first receiving part 2 of each vertical member 1, and if the horizontal members are shorter than the vertical members, If possible, the second receiving portion 6 of each vertical member 1 may be used for assembly.

(Effects of the invention) In summary, the present invention forms a groove-shaped first receiving part into which the end face of the horizontal member is fitted and a first cutout part into which the bead of the panel is attached on one side of the vertical member. On the other side of the vertical member opposite to the side surface, there is a second receiving part narrower than the first receiving part and having a groove shape into which the end face of the other horizontal member fits, and a bead of the panel having the same width as the first notch. By forming the second notch for attaching the upper and lower horizontal members and the left and right vertical members using the first receiving part on one side or the second receiving part on the other side depending on the expected dimensions of the horizontal members. It was designed to assemble a shoji screen.

Therefore, it is possible to assemble a shoji using either of the two types of vertical members depending on the intended use of the shoji, and it is also possible to assemble the shoji using two types of horizontal members depending on the decorativeness and economic efficiency of the shoji. It can be used for different purposes.

There are receivers with different widths on both sides of the vertical members, and the ends of the horizontal members fit tightly into either receiver, and the shoji is assembled by combining the horizontal members and the vertical members, so it is easy to assemble. Not only is the strength extremely strong, but each receiving part has a notch so that boards such as glass or plate materials can be fitted through the beads, making it extremely valuable as a shoji with boards. .
