[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Figure 5 shows a conventional glass block frame attaching apparatus 1 is interposed between and these U-shaped cross section material 1b of the indoor side of the U-shaped cross section type material 1a and the outdoor-side An intermediate H-shaped mold material 1c having a horizontal cross section is mutually screwed with screws B ₁ , B.
₂ is stopped bond will be also lower lateral frame 2 is similarly indoor side and the outdoor side of the U-shaped formwork 2a, 2b and an intermediate transverse H-shaped formwork 2c and mutually screw B _1, B ₂ stopped Hollow frame-shaped members 3 and 4 having a substantially I-shaped cross section, which are connected to each other and project downwardly, are fixed to the lower surface side of the upper horizontal frame 1 by screws B ₃ at both ends inside and outside thereof. Shaped material 3,
Reference numeral 4 designates both inner and outer side wall portions of the mortar loading concave groove 5, and similar hollow frame members 6 and 7 are fixed to the upper side of the lower horizontal frame 2 with screws B _{3 to} fix these hollow frame members 6 and 7. Reference numeral 7 denotes both indoor and outdoor side wall portions of the mortar loading groove 8. And
A plurality of anchor metal pieces A having a substantially U shape are fixed to the upper surface of the upper horizontal frame 1 and the lower surface of the lower horizontal frame 2 with screws B ₄ , and each of the anchor metal pieces A has a building frame W and upper and lower horizontal frames 1, 2.
And a narrow opposing gap C ₁ and C ₂ between them and a fixed frame C on the rod side, which is fixed by a screw B ₅ and is connected. In the figure, G is a glass block, and 9 is a packing material attached to the lower surface of the upper horizontal frame 1 and the upper surface of the lower horizontal frame 2, respectively. As described above, in the production of the glass block frame, two hollow U-shaped mold members and a cross section arranged between them are not used as a mold member for the arc-shaped horizontal frame in plan view without using one hollow rectangular cylindrical mold member. The H-shaped mold is used when the mold is bent by a roll bender, which is the simplest bending machine, and if it is a hollow square tubular mold, the mold is bent and the original cross-section shape (square shape) is used. )
However, in the case of a mold material having a U-shaped or H-shaped cross section, the molding roll can be applied so as to match the internal shape of the mold material, and proper bending can be performed. is there.

[0003]

By the way, in the conventional glass block frame, the side walls of the mortar-loading grooves 5 and 8 are first formed as described above to form the mold members 1a of the horizontal frames 1 and 2. 1b, 2a, using the I-shaped hollow frame-like mold member 3, 4, 6, 7 is separate from the 2b, was bis B ₃ stop to the transverse frame 1, 2 in advance bent these However, in this case, not only the work of bending the mold members 3, 4, 6, 7 and the work of fixing them with screws are required, but also the hollow frame-shaped mold members 3, 4, 6, 7 are not required. There is a problem that water leakage occurs from the gaps between the U-shaped mold members 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, and the rain habit is deteriorated. Further, the indoor and outdoor mold members of the upper and lower horizontal frames 1 and 2 are U-shaped in cross section, and these mold members must be fastened with screws B ₁ and B ₂ from the upper and lower sides of the middle mold member. , The anchor metal A is attached to each of the upper surface of the upper horizontal frame 1 and the lower surface of the lower horizontal frame 2 by the screw B ₄ stopper,
When the screw-fastening points of the mold members 3, 4, 6, and 7 were added, the screw-fastening points of the entire glass block frame increased, and it took a considerable amount of time to screw them.

Further, conventionally, as described above, both the horizontal frames 1 and 2 are integrated in the narrow facing gaps C ₁ and C ₂ between the upper horizontal frame 1 and the lower horizontal frame 2 and the building frame W facing each other. Alternatively, a separate anchor metal A is interposed, and the upper and lower horizontal frames 1 and 2 are fixed to the building frame W by the anchor metal A. In this case, between the lower horizontal frame 2 and the frame W, Opposing gap C
_{Even if 2} is narrow, its attachment work can be performed in lowland, so it does not cause much trouble, but at a high place such as the facing gap C ₁ between the upper horizontal frame 1 and the skeleton W, the anchor metal fittings are high. To perform the mounting work with A interposed, the facing gap C
_{Because 1} is narrow, it was extremely difficult.

In particular, the anchor metal A is connected to the above-mentioned facing gap C ₁ ,
There is a case of filling the mortar these gaps after attaching the C _2, the order opposing gap C _1, C ₂ is narrow, and a is for mortar filling work perfectly performed it is very difficult to altitude there were.

Further, it is generally difficult to connect the anchor metal fitting A on the side of the upper horizontal frame 1 to the building frame W because it is a work at a high place. Since it is fixed, once the screw is fixed, the attachment position of the anchor metal A cannot be changed and adjusted, and therefore the attachment position of the anchor metal A to the fixed frame C fixed to the building frame W side is different. In such a case, there is a very inconvenient problem that the entire glass block frame has to be removed.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems all at once.

[0008]
