Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a storm door that can store and hold a screen door.

Screens are indispensable for windows in dynamic homes in the summer, but screens are traditionally left attached to windows even when insects are not present.

For this reason, the screen door is often moved when the window is opened and closed, which causes the screen door to rattle early and become easily detached when opening and closing, making noise due to strong winds, and making the screen dirty with dust. The nets become dirty with dust and require occasional washing, so they are treated as a nuisance after the summer season.

Some people take them down and store them when they are not in use, but they don't have a suitable place to store them, so they tie them up on the balcony with string or store them in a shed, so they are prone to falling over due to strong winds and getting dusty. The reality is that people are at a loss as to how to handle screen doors, as problems such as contamination from rain and damage to the screens due to the pressure of other objects inside the storeroom.

This idea was made to solve the above-mentioned difficulties.

Screen doors are generally lightweight. In addition, with metal shutters, the metal plate is very thin, whereas the frame is relatively thick.
Therefore, a planar space is created on the indoor side of the metal plate.

This invention focuses on the above-mentioned points and attempts to provide a new storm door in which an unnecessary screen door can be stored on the indoor side of a metal plate.

By the way, shutters are frequently opened and closed.

Therefore, if the screen door is simply stored in the storage area formed on the storm door, the screen door will move inside the storm door each time the storm door is opened and closed.
It is not suitable for practical use because the screen door may come off the shutter or hit the shutter, causing noise.

A similar problem occurs when the shutters vibrate due to wind when closed.

There are also various sizes of screen doors and shutters.

Therefore, this idea was developed so that even if there is a slight difference in size,
To provide a storm door capable of holding a screen without coming off or making noise when opening/closing the shutter or receiving wind.

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment.

Shutter A has upper stile 1. Lower stile 2. It is made by assembling left and right vertical frames 3 and 4 into a rectangular shape, and fitting and fixing the four sides of a metal plate 5 to the base.

In that case, the metal plate 5 is positioned as far as possible on the outdoor side of the shutter, and the inner peripheral wall 11 of the metal plate 5 is placed on the indoor side of the shutter.
A screen door storage section 34 is formed by 19, 31, and 32.

To explain the various structures in more detail, the upper stile 1 integrally has upright wall portions 7 and 8 at the outdoor end and intermediate portion of the web 6, and hanging wall portions 9 and 10 at the indoor and outdoor ends of the web. , the pair of rising walls 7 and 8 are fitted into the shutter sliding groove of the upper window frame, and extend from the lower end of the indoor hanging wall 10 to the lower end of the outdoor hanging wall 9. An inner circumferential wall portion 11 is provided that extends to a certain distance towards the vehicle, and a metal plate insertion groove 13 is formed between the inner circumferential wall portion and the outdoor side hanging wall portion.

The lower stile 2 has a web 14 having the same width as the web 6 of the upper stile, and has rising wall portions 15, 16 and hanging wall portions 17, 18 parallel to each other at both indoor and external ends of the web, An inner circumferential wall 19 extending from the upper end of the indoor rising wall 16 toward the outdoor rising wall 15 is provided, and between the inner circumferential wall 19 and the outdoor rising wall 15, Metal plate insertion groove 13 of the upper stile
A metal plate insertion groove 20 having the same width is formed.

Further, the left stile 3 has a web 21 having approximately the same width as the webs of the upper and lower stile, and a hollow protrusion 22 is formed on the outer surface of the web.
are formed, and projecting walls 23 and 24 extending inward in parallel are provided at the outdoor side portion of the inner surface and at a position separated by a predetermined distance from the outdoor side end. A metal plate insertion groove 25 having approximately the same width as the metal plate insertion grooves of the upper and lower frames is formed between the walls.

The right stile 4 also has a similar web 26. Hollow recess 27. Projection wall 2
8.29 and a metal plate insertion groove 30.

The inner peripheral wall portions 31 and 32 corresponding to the inner peripheral wall portions 11 and 19 of the upper and lower stiles are located on the interior side of the projecting walls 24 and 29 of the inner surfaces of the webs 21 and 26 of the left and right stiles 3 and 4, respectively. Configure.

In this way, first, the metal plates 5 are fitted to the left and right vertical frames 3 and 4 and attached individually with rivets, and then the metal plates 5 are fitted to the upper and lower frames 1 and 2, and both ends of the upper and lower frames are By abutting against the vertical stile and assembling the stile by screwing screws from the vertical stile into the screw pockets 12.33 of the upper and lower stile, the shutter body is formed, and the metal plate 5 and various inner peripheral wall parts 11.19, 31.32 As a result, a screen door storage section 34 is constructed on the indoor side of the metal plate.

35 is a door roller attached to the web 14 of the lower stile 2.

In some cases, the screw holes in the vertical stile are made into elongated holes so that the upper and lower stile can be adjusted up and down by loosening the screws.

In this embodiment, the left and right stiles 3.4
Elastic fixing means 36, 37, 38, 39 made of leaf springs having elastic forces in opposite directions are attached to the opposing surfaces of the inner circumferential walls 31, 32 at two locations each on the upper and lower sides.

Since the intervals between the elastic fixing means 36, 38, 37, and 39 on the left and right sides are smaller than the width of the screen door B, the screen door B is not attached to the elastic fixing means 36, 37, or 38 in the screen door storage section 34.
．． 39 can be compressed and fitted between the respective Yayoi fixing means to be stored and held.

Further, on the indoor side of each elastic fixing means of the inner circumferential walls 31, 32, there is a mounting piece 40 fixed to the inner circumferential walls 31, 32 with screws etc. A toppling prevention means 42 consisting of a lever 41 rotatably supported is attached, and with all the levers 41 kept upright, the screen door B is fitted and clamped between each elastic fixing means as described above. Then, the screen door B can be held in the screen door storage section 34 of the storm door A by folding all the levers 41 to the horizontal position and abutting the screen door from the indoor side.

As in this embodiment, elastic fixing means are attached to the left and right vertical frames 3 and 4.
If attached to the screen door B stored in the screen door storage section 34,
This prevents the screen door from hitting the vertical stile every time it is opened or closed and causing noise.Furthermore, the left and right vertical frames 3 and 4 are provided with fall prevention means 42 having levers that rotate along the surface of the shutter. While holding the screen door, it can be retracted without moving it in its height.

Therefore, this embodiment is suitable for storing a screen door with a height close to that of a rain door.

Next, a second embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 5 and 6.

In the first embodiment, elastic fixing means 36 to 39 and collapse prevention means 42 are attached to the left and right vertical frames 3 and 4 among the frames 1, 2, and 3.4 located at opposite positions with the shutter storage section 34 in between. However, in the second embodiment, in addition to being located at opposite positions, the lower frames 1 and 2 are provided with elastic fixing means and fall prevention means, thereby reducing the height of the shutter A and screen B. This makes it possible to deal with cases where the difference is large.

As shown in this embodiment, the elastic fixing means is provided on at least one of the frames located at opposing positions,
If the screen door stored in the screen door storage section is pushed toward the other stile, it is possible to prevent noises such as banging sounds and track sounds caused by the shutter and the screen door when moving the shutter.

However, it is necessary to provide collapse prevention means on both frames located at opposing positions.

In the second embodiment, the fall prevention means is formed of a groove member 43, as shown for the upper stile, and is connected to the inner peripheral wall 11 of the upper stile 1.
Alternatively, as shown for the lower stile, two protrusions 44° and 45 are provided on the inner circumferential wall 19 of the lower stile 2 in the indoor and outdoor directions at a distance slightly apart from the width of the screen door B. It can also be formed.

Then, the screen door B has the upper end of its upper stile inserted into the groove 46 of the groove member 43, which is the upper side collapse prevention means, is lifted and stored in the screen door storage part 34, and the screen door is lowered in a vertical state, The protrusion 4 serves as a means to prevent the lower stile 47 of the screen door from falling downward.
By fitting between 4.45 and 45, the screen door is prevented from falling from the storm door toward the indoor side.

Reference numeral 48 denotes an elastic fixing means in this embodiment, which is composed of a compression spring or the like, and is installed in the groove 46 of the groove member to constantly press the screen door B stored in the screen door storage section toward the lower stile 2. This prevents the screen door from floating up and falling from the lower stile due to vibrations when the shutter opens and closes or when the wind blows, and prevents the screen door from causing banging noises when it comes into contact with the shutter.

Furthermore, as a third embodiment, the shutter A in the second embodiment
If necessary, elastic fixing means similar to those in the first embodiment may be attached to the left and right vertical frames 3 and 4 to prevent sliding of the screen door and generation of noise when the shutter is opened and closed.

No. 2 above. According to the third embodiment, by arbitrarily setting the height of the groove member 43, a screen door of any height can be stored in the shutter.

In addition, the screen door can be easily stored by simply raising and lowering it.
Or you can take it out.

Note that the height of the rain door and screen door in this invention is naturally different, but such a rain door/screen door has a step-like structure that gradually increases in height from the outside to the inside, as illustrated in Figure 7. It is built in a window frame that includes a lower frame 49 and an upper frame 56 in which the storage section 50 of the shutter A is formed higher than the storage section 51 of the screen door B and the storage sections 54 and 55 of the glass shoji 52 and 53. .

Such a window frame itself is known.

As described above, according to this invention, the screen door storage area is provided on the indoor side of the metal plate between the metal plate of the storm door and each plate, so when the screen door is not needed, the screen door can be removed and stored in the screen door of the storm door. It can be stored in the room.

Therefore, since the shutters are usually stored in the door pockets, there is only a window glass shoji, and unlike in the past, unnecessary screen doors remain installed, creating a nuisance, impairing visibility, or causing dust, etc. This not only eliminates the feeling of uncleanliness on the window, but also has the advantage that since it is stored inside the shutter, the screen door screen is prevented from being damaged or contaminated, and the life of the screen door is extended.

Further, at least one stile of the storm door is provided with an elastic fixing means for pressing and fixing the screen door stored in the screen door storage portion toward a stile located at a position opposite to the one stile, and
A fall prevention means is provided on the frames located opposite to each other with the screen door storage section in between, which prevents the screen door stored in the screen door storage section from falling toward the indoor side. There will be no inconveniences such as the screen door and the shutter making noise or coming off the shutter.
