Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a device for connecting adjacent window units in a continuous window in which window units are sequentially arranged in a lateral direction.

[Conventional technology]

As a device for connecting adjacent window units in a continuous window, for example, a device shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 63-192582 is known.

That is, the locking piece is integrally formed on the vertical frame of the window unit,
A connecting member provided with a locked piece is arranged between adjacent vertical frames,
In this connection device, the locked piece is engaged with the locking piece of the vertical frame, a pressing member is arranged between the outdoor surfaces of the adjacent vertical frames, and the pressing member and the connecting member are screwed together.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

With such a connecting device, as shown in FIG.
Is a long member extending in the longitudinal direction of the vertical frame b, the adjacent vertical frames b, b are connected to the connecting member a over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. Since the vertical frame b cannot be deformed when the frame e is expanded / reduced and deformed by heat, an excessive force is generated at the connecting portion between the upper frame d / lower frame e and the vertical frame b to be damaged.

This becomes remarkable in the case of horizontal connection. Moreover, since the locked piece of the connecting member is engaged with the locking piece of the vertical frame adjacent to the locking piece,
Since the connecting members are provided after the adjacent vertical frames are arranged opposite to each other, the work of assembling the connecting windows becomes troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a connecting device for connecting windows that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems]

The first connecting member and the second connecting member that engage with each other form a connecting member that is shorter than the length of the vertical frame, the first connecting member is attached to one adjacent vertical frame, and the second connecting member is attached to the other vertical frame. A connecting device in which the first connecting member and the second connecting member are engaged with each other with screws while mounting the adjacent window units, and the vertical frame serves as the first and second connecting members. It can be deformed with the mounting portion as a boundary, and the vertical frames can be connected to each other by mounting one window unit and then mounting the other window unit.

〔Example〕

As shown in FIG. 4, the upper frame 1, the lower frame 2, the left and right vertical frames 3,
3 is framed in a rectangular shape, and a glass unit 4 is attached to the inside to form a window unit 5. The window units 5 are sequentially arranged in the lateral direction, and the adjacent vertical units 3, 5 of the adjacent window units 5, 5 are arranged. 3 are connected by a connecting member 6 to form a continuous window.

As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting member 6 comprises a first connecting member 7 attached to the outer surface of one vertical frame 3 and a second connecting member 8 attached to the outer surface of the other vertical frame 3 adjacent to each other. ,
The first connecting member 7 has a fitting piece 11 and a connecting piece 12 integrally formed on one side of the substrate 10, a space regulating piece 13 and a fitting groove 14 integrally formed on the other side of the substrate 10, and is provided on both sides of the substrate 10. The contact pieces 15, 15 are integrally formed, and the length is significantly shorter than the length of the vertical frame 3. As shown in FIG. A hollow portion 17 is formed by the pair of abutting pieces 15, 15 and the outer side plate 3a, and a reinforcement member 18 for reinforcement and deflection prevention is fitted into the hollow portion 17, and the reinforcement member 18 is used for the vertical frame 3 It has a long plate shape extending in the longitudinal direction, and is connected to the building frame side by an anchor (not shown). It should be noted that one abutting piece 15 is the outer plate 3
The fitting piece 11 projects toward the indoor side while being brought into contact with the protruding piece 3b of "a" for positioning in the out-of-plane direction, and the fitting groove 1
4 opens toward the indoor side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the second connecting member 7 has a fitting piece 21 and a connecting piece 22 integrally formed on the other side of the substrate 20.
A shape in which the space regulating piece 23 and the fitting groove 24 are integrally formed on one side, and the contact pieces 25, 25 are integrally formed on both sides of the substrate 20, that is, the same shape as the first connecting member 6, and the in-plane direction. And the other vertical frame 2 as shown in FIG.
The outer plate 3a is attached with screws 26 to form a hollow portion 27 with the substrate 10, the pair of contact pieces 25, 25 and the outer plate 3a. The hollow portion 27 has a reinforcing member 28 for reinforcement and deflection prevention. The reinforcing member 28 is fitted and is connected to the building frame side by an anchor (not shown) as in the above-described reinforcing member 18.

Then, after the one window unit 5 is attached as shown in FIG. 2, the other window unit 5 is moved obliquely toward the one window unit 5 as shown by the arrow so that the fitting pieces 11 and 21 are fitted into the fitting grooves 14 and 24. And engages in the in-plane direction and the out-of-plane direction, and the space regulating pieces 13, 23 of the first and second connecting members 7, 8 are engaged.
Are abutted against the outer plates 3a, 3a of the adjacent vertical frames 3, 3 and temporarily connected at a predetermined interval.
The first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 are connected by screwing 9, 29 into the connecting pieces 12, 22, respectively.

After this, the sealing material 30 is filled in the inside and outside between the outer plates 3a, 3a of the adjacent vertical frames 3, 3, respectively.

The first and second connecting members 7 and 8 are screw 19 and screw 29.
Either screw may be used for connection.

Because of this, the adjacent vertical frames 3 and 3 are connected to each other by the connecting member 6.
Since the parts other than the connecting part are separated by the heat, when the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2 expand and contract due to heat as shown in FIG. 4, the vertical frame 3 deforms following the expansion and contraction. Since it is possible, an unreasonable force does not act on the connecting portion between the upper and lower frames 1 and 2 and the vertical frame 3.

According to the above embodiment, since the hollow portion 31 is formed between the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8, the connecting member 6
The strength of the window unit itself becomes large, and the connection strength of the adjacent window units becomes large.

Further, since the reinforcing members 18 and 28 are inserted between the substrates 10 and 20 and the outer plates 3a and 3a, the connection strength is further increased and the substrates 10 and 20 are not deformed by screwing. .

Further, since the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 have the same shape, the number of parts is reduced, which is advantageous for inventory management and the like, and the first and second connecting members are formed by using one type of molding die. Since the members 7 and 8 can be manufactured by extrusion molding or the like, the cost is reduced.

Next, a modified example will be described.

As shown in FIG. 5, each substrate 10, 20 and each outer plate 3
It is also possible to provide short deflection preventing members 32, 32 between a and 3a to prevent the substrates 10, 20 from being deformed by screw tightening.

As shown in FIG. 6, a mounting plate 33 is screwed between the indoor surfaces of the adjacent vertical frames 3 and 3, and a cover member 34 is attached to the mounting plate 33 so that the indoor side is not filled with the sealing material. Is also good.

Further, in the case of a single window, the connecting member 6 is attached to the central portion in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 7 (a), and as shown in FIG. 7 (b), it has the upper window 36 and the lower window 37 without a gap 35. In the case of a stepped window, the connecting member 6 is attached at a position deviated from the seamless 35, that is, at the longitudinal center of the upper window 36 and at the longitudinal center of the lower window 37.

By doing so, the vertical frame 3 easily deforms following the thermal expansion and contraction of the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2.

According to each of the above embodiments, the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 have the same shape, but they may have different shapes and may be engaged with each other.

[Effect of device]

The connecting member 6 is a first and a second that are shorter than the length of the vertical frame 3.
Since it is composed of the connecting members 7 and 8, when the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2 of the window unit 5 are expanded and contracted by heat, the vertical frame 3
Can be deformed with the attachment member of the connecting member 6 as a boundary, and the expansion and contraction thereof can be absorbed, and damage to the connecting portions of the upper and lower frames 1 and 2 of the window unit 5 and the vertical frame 3 can be prevented.

Further, since the connecting member 6 is composed of the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 which are engaged with each other, the first connecting member 7 is provided on one of the adjacent vertical frames 3 and the second connecting member 8 is provided on the other side. The first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 can be engaged with each other by screws while attaching the other window unit 5 after attaching the one window unit 5 to each other. Since it can be attached and connected, the assembling work of the connecting window becomes easy.
