Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a window that can be used as both an eaves and a shutter in a building.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, shutters and eaves have been separately attached to small windows in buildings.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Installing shutters and eaves for each small window in this way is a heavy burden both in terms of construction and cost.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention was proposed to solve the above problem, and the upper door piece and the lower door piece are rotatably hinged, and the upper door piece The upper end of the lower door piece is rotatably supported on the upper end of a vertical guide rail disposed on the side of the window opening, and a roller that is rotatably supported on the lower end of the lower door piece is rolled on the guide rail. This invention relates to a window that can be used as both an eaves and a shutter, and is characterized in that it can be freely mounted and that a lifting cable is connected to the lower door piece.

(Function) Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
When the lower door piece is connected to the lower door piece and raised via the lifting cable using the roller at the lower end and the guide rail as a guide, as the lower door piece rises, the lower door piece The upper door piece is folded into a V-shape through a hinge that connects both pieces, and it protrudes horizontally from the top of the window opening in a V-shape folded state, and serves as an eaves. .

Further, when the lower door piece is lowered along the guide rail via the lifting cable, as the lower door piece descends, the lower door piece and the upper door piece are separated via the hinge that hinges both pieces. It is developed into a single vertical plate and covers the entire surface of the window opening, serving as a shutter.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the upper end of the upper door piece is rotatably supported on the upper end of the vertical guide rail disposed on the side of the window opening, through the hinge. By raising and lowering the connected lower door pieces on the guide rail using a roller pivotally supported at the lower end of the door pieces, the lower door pieces can be used as an eaves during the day and used as a storm door at night or in rainy weather. This eliminates the need for each small window to be provided with an eave and a shutter as in the past, simplifying construction and reducing costs.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

1 is an upper stile in a window opening of a building, 2 is a lower stile, 3 is a side frame, and 4 is a sliding window.

A vertical guide rail 5 is arranged parallel to the window opening at its front side.

6 is an upper door piece; 7 is a lower door piece rotatably connected to the upper door piece 6 via a hinge 8; the upper end of the upper door piece 6 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the guide rail 5; A roller 9 that rolls along the guide rail 5 is rotatably attached to the lower end of the lower door piece 7.

A lifting cable 10 is connected to the lower door piece 7, and the lifting cable 10 is connected to a guide roller 11 mounted on the upper stile 1.
It extends to the guide side via.

Since the illustrated embodiment is configured as described above, during the daytime, by pulling the lifting cable 10, the lower door piece 7 is moved along the guide rail 5 using the guide roller 9 and the vertical guide rail 5 as guides. As the lower door piece 7 rises, both the upper and lower door pieces 6, 7 are folded into a V-shape via the hinge 8, projecting horizontally forward from the upper stile 1 as shown in the figure, and forming the eaves. fulfill the purpose of

In this state, the elevating cable 10 is moored to an appropriate member on the indoor side.

Also, at night or in rainy weather, the lifting cable 1
0 is unmoored and the lower door piece 7 is lowered along the vertical guide rail 5. As the lower door piece 7 descends, the upper and lower door pieces 6 and 7 are expanded via the hinge 8, and the upper and lower door pieces 6 and 7 are opened into one piece. The vertical door covers the front surface of the window opening and serves as a shutter.

In this way, according to the embodiment, it can be used as an eaves during the day and as a shutter at night or on rainy days, and there is no need to separately attach the eaves and the shutter to the window opening as in the past. Construction becomes easier and costs are reduced.
