Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a window panel attached to a window frame to close a gap generated when a pipe for an air conditioner is passed through the window frame.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various window panels are commercially available to close the gap that occurs when the air conditioner piping is passed through the window frame. There are the following two typical conventional window panels.

First, as shown in FIG. 1 (A), a circular opening through which the pipe 40 penetrates is provided in the upper part of the panel body 10 whose length is adjusted according to the height of the window frame. It is a thing. An annular packing 60 is fitted in the opening in order to close a gap generated on the outside of the pipe 40 inserted through the opening.

As shown in FIG. 1 (B), the other window panel is one in which an opening that opens to the side is provided in the upper part of the panel body 10. In order to close the gap generated on the outside of the pipe 40, half-split type lids 70, 70 divided into two on both sides are used. The lids 70, 70 are laterally inserted into the opening of the panel body 10 with the pipe 40 sandwiched from both sides.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Of these window panels, the one shown in FIG. 1A requires the panel body 10 to be attached to the window frame before the pipe 40 is constructed. That is, it is necessary to attach the panel body 10 to the window frame and then pass the pipe 40 through the opening. Therefore, it takes time and effort to construct the pipe 40, and the pipe 40 may be damaged by the edge of the opening when the pipe is passed through the opening. If the packing 60 is attached to the opening in advance, damage to the pipe 40 can be prevented. However, if this is done, the packing 60 can easily come off when the pipe 40 is passed through, and further correction is required. Therefore, workability is poor.

On the other hand, in the window panel shown in FIG. 1B, the opening is opened to the side of the panel body 10, and the lids 70, 70 fitted into the opening are of a half-split type. Therefore, the panel body 10 can be attached to the window frame after the construction of the pipe 40 is completed, and better workability can be expected as compared with the window panel of FIG.

However, in the actual installation work, since the outer lid 70 protrudes from the opening due to the repulsive force of the pipe 40, it is often necessary to fix the lid 70 to the panel body 10 with the screws 71. Even when the outer lid 70 is positioned on the window frame side, it is necessary to screw the outer lid 70 with screws when the pipe 40 is thick. Therefore, the desired workability cannot be obtained.

The present invention was created in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a window panel having excellent workability in mounting.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The window panel of the present invention is a window panel attached to a window frame so as to close a gap generated when a pipe for an air conditioner is passed through the window frame. The length of the panel body is adjusted according to the length of the panel body, and a part of the lengthwise direction of the panel body is opened to the side, and a through hole is formed in the center for the pipe to pass through. And a sleeve that is opened by the deformation of itself and externally fitted to the pipe from the side, and that is fitted in the opening of the panel body from the lateral side and held in an annular shape.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the window panel of the present invention, the gap formed outside the pipe passing through the opening of the panel body is closed by the sleeve fitted in the opening. Here, the opening is opened to the side of the panel main body, and the sleeve is fitted to the pipe from the side by opening a cut provided in a part in the circumferential direction due to its deformation. Therefore, the window panel can be attached after the piping is finished. In addition, the sleeve is an integral type with a cut in the circumferential direction and is retained in the ring by being fitted into the opening of the panel body, so even if the pipe is thick, the sleeve will not come out of the opening. There is no danger of it protruding, and it does not require screwing.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 2 is a perspective view showing the entire structure of an example of a window panel embodying the present invention, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 5 to 7 are perspective views showing the procedure for attaching the window panel.

As shown in FIG. 2, the window panel includes an aluminum panel body 10 which is vertically expandable and contractible, and a sleeve 20 which is fitted into an opening provided at an upper end portion of the panel body 10. I have it.

The panel body 10 has an upper plate 11 and a lower plate 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12 are flat rectangular tubes, and the upper plate 11 is inserted into the lower plate 12, and the length of the panel body 10 is adjusted by changing the insertion amount. It

A plate nut 14 is housed in one side portion of the upper plate 11. The plate nut 14 has, for example, two screw holes provided at intervals in the vertical direction, and can freely move up and down by being guided by a pair of left and right guide grooves 13, 13 in one side portion of the upper plate 11. . On the other hand, at the upper end of the lower plate 12, for example, two round holes 15 penetrating one side surface thereof are provided at intervals in the vertical direction. Then, by screwing a screw 16 into the screw hole of the plate nut 14 through the round hole 15, the upper plate 11 is coupled to the lower plate 12 and the panel body 10 is fixed to the adjusted length.

An opening 17 for passing a pipe is provided at the upper end of the upper plate 11. The opening 17 is open to the other side of the upper plate 11, and its size is made sufficiently larger than the thickness of the pipe.

The sleeve 20 fitted into the opening 17 is made of rubber having appropriate elasticity, and has a through hole 21 for passing a pipe in the center thereof. The sleeve 20 has a D-shape corresponding to the opening 17, and is press-fitted into the opening 17 from the opening side. Hereinafter, the front side in the press-fitting direction of the sleeve 20 is referred to as the inside, and the rear side in the press-fitting direction is referred to as the outside.

The outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 20 is provided with a recessed groove 22 into which the peripheral edge of the opening 17 is fitted except for the outer side surface, and the outer side surface matches the other side surface of the upper plate 11. It is a flat surface.

The vertical portion on the outer side of the sleeve 20 is provided with a cut 23 formed by cutting the vertical portion at a right angle. By providing the cuts 23, the sleeve 20 is elastically deformed in the direction in which the cuts 23 are opened, and is externally fitted to the pipe from the side. The opposing end surfaces of the sleeve 20 that sandwich the cut 23 are in close contact with each other in a state where the sleeve 20 is press-fitted into the opening 17 and are in a concavo-convex shape that meshes with each other to prevent lateral displacement thereof (see FIG. 4).

The window panel is attached to the window frame as follows.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, the pipe 40 is passed through a predetermined position in the window frame 30. Next, the slit 23 of the sleeve 20 is opened, and the elastic sleeve 20 is attached to the pipe 40 at a predetermined position. Since the sleeve 20 is made of rubber having a high elasticity, the slit 23 opens wide and can be easily attached to the thick pipe 40.

When the sleeve 20 is completely attached, as shown in FIG. 6, the panel body 10 is set in the window frame 30, and the sleeve 20 fitted on the pipe 40 is inserted into the opening 17 of the panel body 10 from the outside. Mating. Further, the panel body 10 is vertically extended until the panel body 10 is fixed in the window frame 30, and the screw 16 is screwed into the screw hole of the plate nut 14 in the extended state. The sleeve 20 fitted in the opening 17 is reliably positioned in the opening 17 by the groove 22.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 7, the window panel is attached to the window frame 30 after the pipe 40 is constructed. Putty or the like is filled in the gap formed between the sleeve 20 and the pipe 40. Also, packings 51, 51 are attached to both side surfaces of the panel body 10, and a pile 52 is attached to one of the two overlapping window glasses to prevent entry of draft air.

As described above, in the window panel, the opening 17 of the panel body 10 is opened laterally, and the slit 20 is provided in the sleeve 20, so that the sleeve 20 can be laterally attached to the pipe 40. Thus, the window panel can be attached after the construction of the pipe 40 is completed. Moreover, since the slit 23 is provided in a part of the circumferential direction, the sleeve 20 is integrally formed, and the elastic sleeve 20 is annularly held in the opening portion 17, even when the pipe 40 is thick, the opening portion There is no risk of the sleeve 20 protruding, and the screwing can be omitted. Therefore, workability is very good.

Further, when the pipe 40 is thick, the sleeve 20 is compressed and deformed to fit the outer surface of the pipe 40. Therefore, it can be mounted on the thick pipe 40 without any trouble, and since the sleeve 20 is pressed against the thick pipe 40, the sealing property between the sleeve 20 and the pipe 40 is improved.

Further, regarding the length adjustment of the panel body 10, conventionally, the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12 are coupled with a drill screw, which causes a problem that not only the workability is poor but also the length cannot be finely adjusted. However, in this window panel, the screw 16 is screwed into the screw hole of the plate nut 14 that slides in the upper plate 11, and the upper plate 11 is fixed at the adjustment position. The panel body 10 can be fixed repeatedly at any number of times, and the mounting strength of the panel body 10 can be increased.

In the window panel, the sleeve 20 is a rubber-like integrally molded product, but it may be molded with an elastic material other than rubber, and the slit 23 may be opened by a hinge. . That is, the deformation of the sleeve in the present invention is not limited to elastic deformation of the material itself, but also includes deformation due to a hinge or the like that does not accompany the elastic deformation of the material itself.

Further, the cut 23 of the sleeve 20 is provided on the outer vertical portion of the sleeve 20, but the invention is not limited to this, and it may be provided on the inner vertical portion or the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a seal portion 25 may be provided near the opening 17 of the elastic sleeve 20. Since the seal portion 25 shown here is expandable and contractible, it is in pressure contact with the outer surface of the pipe 40. If such a seal portion 25 is provided, the gap formed outside the pipe 40 is closed, and filling of the gap with putty can be omitted.

For adjusting the length of the panel body 10, a conventional mechanism such as a drill screw can be used.

[0030]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the window panel of the present invention is an integrated sleeve in which the opening of the panel body is opened to the side and a gap is formed in the circumferential direction in order to close the gap generated outside the pipe. Since the window panel can be attached after the pipe construction is completed, the sleeve does not protrude from the opening even if the pipe is thick, and it is not necessary to screw it in. It is extremely easy to install on the frame, and it has a great effect on reducing the man-hours of the air conditioner installation work and reducing the burden on the contractor.
