Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a device for removing water that enters and accumulates in the upper stile due to strong wind and rain in windows and bay windows equipped with sliding shoji screens.

(Prior Art) A conventional sliding shoji has a structure in which the upper stile has inner and outer fins that protrude upward and are located inside and outside the guide rail of the window frame, respectively.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, with this conventional structure, rainwater accumulates in the upper stile due to strong wind and rain, and when the accumulated rainwater overflows from the vertical stile, it is caused by the flow of wind from outside. Spray from the vertical stile of the outer shoji hits the panels of the inner shoji or the fins installed in the vertical frame of the window frame, and although these panels and fins prevent it from entering the room, it flows down the gassho stile of the inner shoji. There was a problem in that the spray from the water flowed into the room.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention has an upper stile of a shoji with inner and outer fins that protrude upward, and a guide rail for a window frame is provided between the inner and outer fins. In sliding shoji, an airtight material is provided over almost the entire length of the outer fins of the inner and outer shoji, and airtight material is provided on the outer fins of the outer shoji or on the gassho stile of the inner shoji, and on the outer surface of the gassho stile of the inner shoji near the panel and the outside. An airtight material that closes the space between the gassho frame and the opposing surface of the shoji is installed over almost the entire length of the gassho frame, and a steady rest that slidably fits into the guide rail provided on the upper frame of the window frame is attached to the inner and outer shoji. The invention is characterized in that the steady rest attached to the upper part of the gassho frame and attached to the inner shoji is provided with a water drain part that allows water between the inner and outer fins of the inner shoji to flow down into the interior of the gassho frame.

According to this configuration, rainwater that collects on the upper stile flows down inside the gassho stile through the drainage part provided on the steady rest.
It reaches the bottom frame of the window frame and flows outside from the bottom frame.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the shoji according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 and 2 are outer and inner shoji, respectively, and each shoji 1 and 2 has vertical frames 3 and 4 and gassho frames 5 and 6, respectively, which are made of aluminum or resin shapes, etc. Lower frames 7, 8 and upper frames 9, 10 are assembled into a square, and a panel 11 made of glass, resin, heat insulating material, metal plate, etc. is attached via a gasket 12 to the area surrounded by the square. .

Attach airtight materials 40 and 41 that contact the fins 38 and 39 formed in 15, and attach the outer surface of the gassho frame 6 of the inner shoji 2 to the gassho frame 5 of the outer shoji 1 (or the gassho frame 6 of the inner shoji 2) as shown in the figure. An airtight material 42 that closes the space between the part near the panel 11 and the opposing surface of the gassho frame 5 of the outer shoji 1 is installed over almost the entire length of the gassho frame 5, and these airtight materials 27, 29, 34, 35 are installed. ,4
0 to 42, the structure is such that airtightness is maintained when the shoji 1 and 2 are closed.

50 to 53 are steady rests made of resin molded material that are slidably fitted into the guide rails 24 and 25 provided on the upper frame 17 of the window frame 13;
It is fitted and attached to the upper part of the vertical frames 3 and 4. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the inner shoji 2
The steady rest 51 attached to the gassho frame 6 is provided with a water drain portion 55 that allows water between the inner and outer fins 33a, 33b to flow down into the interior 54 of the gassho frame 6, which has a rectangular cross section, as shown by an arrow 56. This water drain part 5
5 is formed by a groove or hole as shown. Note that the steady rest 51 has a guide rail 25 in the center.
The grooves 59 on both sides of the ends are fitted into the notch edges 61 at the ends of the gassho frame 6, and the locking protrusions 60 formed in the grooves 59 are fitted. It locks into the recess 62 of the notch edge 61, and the gassho frame 6
It is fitted into the interior 54 which has a rectangular cross section, and is fixed by abutting the retaining edge 58 against the upper surface of the gassho frame 6. The upper frame 10 fits into a rectangular notch 66 provided on the side of the panel of the gassho frame 6, and the fixing screw 6

7 is a groove 69 into which the guide rail 25 is fitted, which is provided in the vertical plate part 68 at the center of the gassho frame 6 against which the upper frame 10 comes into contact.
The height of the bottom of the groove 69 is approximately equal to or slightly lower than the height of the bottom of the groove 69.
It is slightly higher than the bottom.

Further, in this embodiment, the outer fin 26 of the lower stile 7 of the outer shoji 1 is located above the airtight material 27 attachment position, and the same position as the airtight material 30 attachment position of the inner shoji 2, or as shown in the figure. A rectangular opening is provided at a lower position, and a drainage device 46 is attached to the opening. The drainage device 46 is
A drain plate is pivotally attached to the mounting case so that it can be opened and closed outward, and the drain plate is normally closed by its own weight, and when water accumulates, the drain plate is pushed open by water pressure and the water is drained.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower guide rail 21 of the window frame on which the inner shoji 2 runs has a guide rail 21 in which the outer shoji 1 corresponds when the outer shoji 1 is in the closed position. More than one drainage hole 47 is provided.

In this window, if strong wind and rain blows from the outside with the shoji 1 and 2 closed, rainwater will flow to the airtight material 2.
7, 30, 34, 35, 40, 41, and 42, and if the rainwater infiltrates into the shoji 1 and 2 and accumulates on the upper stile 10 of the inner shoji 2, the rainwater will flow through the arrow 56 in Fig. 3. As shown in FIG.

4, 35, and 42 create pressure on the indoor side, so water in the upper stile 10 flows down inside the gassho stile 6 without splashing, preventing rainwater from entering the room in the form of powder mist. be done.

In addition, in this embodiment, the guide rail 21 is provided with the drain hole 47 and the drain device 46 is provided, so that the notch 48 at the end of the guide rail 21 is provided with a water outflow channel formed by the drain hole 47. is added, and the drainage tool 46
This also allows for smooth drainage.

The present invention has been described above with reference to examples, but when carrying out the present invention, the present invention can also be applied to a case where there are three or more sliding shoji. Furthermore, various changes and additions can be made to the specific shapes, structures, combinations, etc. of the shoji screens, window frames, steady rests, gassho frames, etc. without departing from the gist of the present invention.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, an airtight material is provided on the outer fins of the inner and outer shoji over almost the entire length, and the gassho frame of the inner and outer shoji is provided with the gassho frame of the inner and outer shoji. An airtight material that closes off the outer part of the stile near the panel and the opposing surface of the gassho stile of the outer shoji is installed over almost the entire length of the stile, so the pressure inside the upper stile of the inner shoji is equal to the indoor pressure. This allows the water in the upper stile to flow down through the gassho stile from the water drain provided on the steady rest without splashing onto the indoor side. Therefore, intrusion of rainwater due to spray from the upper stile is prevented. In addition, since steady rests are provided on the gassho stile and vertical stile, the width can be increased by the thickness of the bottom of the groove of the steady rest, and the shoji can be attached and removed from the indoor side.
