Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This idea relates to skylights installed in houses.

(Prior Art) Some houses are provided with an overhang, and a skylight for daylighting is provided above the overhang. A skylight is constructed by assembling a window portion having a glass plate to a window frame.

(Problem that the invention is trying to solve) In the above skylight, the window part is fixed to the window frame, so if the outside surface of the window glass plate becomes dirty, it can only be cleaned from outside the house. It was hot.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention was made to solve the above problem, and its gist is that the window is divided into three parts: a central window part, left and right window parts, and at least the upper end of the central window part or The lower end is rotatably supported on the window frame by a hinge, and a closed space is formed by each vertical stile of the overlapping part of the central window section and the left and right window sections, and within this closed space, a biasing force is applied to open and close the central window section. The skylight is characterized by housing an air spring that provides

(Function) The skylight is composed of a three-part window section. If the outside surface of the window becomes dirty, at least the central portion of the window is automatically moved upward by an air spring housed in an airtight space formed by the vertical frames of the central window and the overlapping portions of the left and right windows. Rotate it open and clean the left, right, and center windows from inside the house.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described based on the drawings from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, for example, a first floor bathroom, kitchen, etc. of a house 1 is provided with an overhang 2. A skylight 3, which is the gist of this invention, is provided on the top of the projecting portion 2 at an angle.
A vertical window 7 is provided continuously to the skylight 3. The skylight 3 is composed of a window frame 4 having a rectangular plan view, a central window section 5 attached to the window frame 4, and left and right window sections 6.

The window frame 4 includes an upper frame 10, left and right vertical frames 11 and 2.
The book is composed of an intermediate vertical frame 12 and a lower frame 13. A glass plate 14 is provided between the upper frame 10 and the lower frame 13, and between the left and right vertical frames 11 and each intermediate vertical frame 12.
are fitted into each other to form the left and right windows 6.

The central window portion 5 has a frame 15 having a rectangular plan view.
and a glass plate 16 attached to this frame 15. The frame 15 is
It has an upper stile 17, both vertical stile 18, and a lower stile 19. Further, the frame 15 is located at the center of the window frame 4, and its upper end is rotatably supported by the window frame 4 via a hinge 20.

Each stile 17, 18, 19 of the frame 15 has an outer piece 21 extending horizontally outward. A packing 23 is fitted into a recess 22 formed at the tip of the outer piece 21. The gasket 23 is in contact with the upper frame 10, the intermediate vertical frames 12, and the lower frame 13 of the window frame 4, respectively.

Further, both the intermediate vertical frames 12 have an inner piece portion 12a extending in the direction of the central window portion 5. A packing 24 is fitted into a recess 12b formed at the tip of the inner piece 12a. This gasket 24 is in contact with both vertical frames 18 of the frame 15. In a sealed space 25 formed by the inner side pieces 12a of both intermediate vertical frames 12 and the outer side pieces 21 of both vertical frames 18, there is an air spring 2.
6 can be stored respectively. One end of each air spring 26 is attached to the inner piece 12a of both intermediate vertical frames 12, and the other end is attached to the outer piece 2 of the vertical frame 18.
1, respectively.

Upper frame 10, both intermediate vertical frames 12, and lower frame 13 of window frame 4
An upright portion 27 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the planes of the window portions 5 and 6 is formed on each of the windows. A gasket 29 is fitted into a recess 28 formed at the tip of each standing portion 27. This Patsukin 29
are the upper stile 17, both vertical stile 18 of the frame 15,
They are in contact with the inner surfaces of the outer pieces 21 of the lower stile 19, respectively.

The upper stile 17, both stile 18, and lower stile 19 of the frame 15 fit into a space surrounded by the upper stile 10, each intermediate vertical frame 12, and the lower frame 13 of the window frame 4.

Further, a handle 30 is provided on the lower surface of the lower stile 19 of the frame 15. Handle 3
The tip of the handle holder 31 is fixed to a handle receiver 31 fixed to the lower surface of the lower frame 13 by a rotating operation.

The vertical window 7 is divided into three parts, a central window part 55 and left and right window parts 56, and the central window part 55 is opened and closed like a sliding door by the guiding action of a pulley 57 and a rail 58.

The central window portion 5 of the skylight 3 configured as described above is normally in a closed state. That is, the tip of the handle 30 of the central window portion 5 is locked to the handle receiver 31. At this time, each air spring 26 is completely housed in the sealed space 25 formed by the inner piece 12a of both intermediate vertical frames 12 and the outer piece 21 of both vertical frames 18, so it is not visible from the outside. do not have. Also,
Central window part 5, upper frame 10 of window frame 4, and both middle vertical frames 1

9, it is possible to prevent rainwater etc. from entering.

Glass plates 14 of the left and right windows 6 and the center window 5,
If the outer surface of the device 16 becomes dirty, the central window portion 5 is opened. That is, when the handle 30 is turned, the tip of the handle 30 is removed from the handle receiver 31. At this time, due to the biasing force of each air spring 26, the central window portion 5 automatically rotates upward around the hinge 20 at the upper end and opens. As a result, from inside the house 1, the glass plates 14 of the left and right windows 6 and the center window 5,
16 stains can be easily cleaned.

When closing the central window 5 after cleaning, hold the handle 30 and pull the central window 5 downward against the biasing force of each air spring 26 to lock the tip of the handle 30 in the handle holder 31. It can be closed by

This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various embodiments are possible. For example, the lower end of the central window may be rotatably supported by the window frame via a hinge. Further, the left and right windows may also be rotatably supported by the window frame at their upper or lower ends by hinges so that they can be opened and closed.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, in this invention, the skylight is divided into three parts, a central window part and left and right window parts, and at least the upper end or lower end of the central window part is rotatably supported by the window frame by a hinge. A closed space is formed by the vertical stile of the overlapped portions of the center window section and the left and right window sections, and an air spring that applies a biasing force to open and close the center window section is housed in this closed space. The parts can be opened and closed automatically using air springs. As a result, even if the outside surfaces of the windows become dirty, each of the windows can be cleaned from inside the house without going outside.
