Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a structure for attaching and fixing the edge of a glass plate to a support frame, for example, as a handrail on a staircase or a partition on a counter.

In the conventional mounting structure, for example, a setting block is placed at the bottom of the groove of the support frame, a glass plate is inserted into the groove, its edge is supported by the setting block, and then the inner surface of the groove and the glass plate are inserted. A wedge was pressed between the edges of the glass plate, and the position of the glass plate in the plane direction was adjusted to fix the glass plate.

However, in such a structure, when adjusting the position of the glass plate, the edge of the glass plate can be moved on the setting block in the surface direction of the glass plate, so it is necessary to repeatedly adjust the insertion amount of the wedges on both sides of the glass plate. This requires a lot of effort, and since the wedge comes into direct contact with the glass surface, there is a risk of damaging the glass plate.

As another structure, as shown in Utility Model Application No. 54-58841, the edge of the force glass plate inserted into the groove of the support frame is connected by a bolt screwed through the side plate of the support frame. It is known that the structure is fixed using a plate, but
This is especially true when adjusting the position of the glass plate, requiring the bolts on both sides of the glass plate to be moved back and forth repeatedly, and the heads of the bolts protruding outside the support frame, making it difficult to adjust the position of the glass plate. It has the disadvantage that it cannot be applied when attaching a glass plate to a glass plate.

The present invention overcomes these drawbacks of the prior art and allows the edge of the glass plate to be fitted into the groove of the support frame very easily and accurately.
It is designed to be firmly fixed.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a glass fence in which glass plates 2 are arranged and erected on a support frame 1 provided on a flat surface, and Fig. 2 shows a glass fence installed diagonally on both sides of a staircase 3. A glass plate 2 is erected on a support frame 1 to serve as a handrail.

As shown in the perspective views of FIGS. 3 and 4, a piece 4 that straddles the lower edge of these glass plates 2 is attached, and is inserted into the groove 5 of the support frame 1 and inserted into the groove bottom. The thickness of the piece 4 is gradually increased toward the lower end of the glass plate 2, and its side surface forms a slope 6.

Further, the side surface of the piece 4 is designed to have a slight gap with the inner surface of the support frame 1.

The piece 7 attached to the lower edge between adjacent glass plates 2 and the piece 8 attached to the lower corner of the end glass plate 2 both support the lower edge of the glass plate in the same way as the piece 4, Its side surface is sloped 6, but as shown in Figures 5 and 7, piece 7
In order to keep the gap 9 constant between the adjacent glass plates 2, a protrusion 10 is provided which fits into the lower part of the gap 9, and as shown in FIG. A protrusion 11 is provided that abuts and protects the outer lower corner of the plate 2 and serves as an initial reference point during construction.

The outer slopes 6 of these pieces 4, 7 and 8 and the grooves 5 of the support frame
A wedge 12 is fitted between the inner surface of the glass plate 2 and the inner surface of the glass plate 2, as shown in the figure, and a filling material 13 is provided in the groove at the upper part of the wedge 12, so that the frame 1 is attached to the edge of the glass plate 2. , fixed by wedges and fillers.

In the construction of this invention, first, a piece 8 is placed on the outermost glass plate 2.
, 4 and 7 and insert them into the grooves of the support frame 1.

Next, the piece 4 and the piece 7 are attached to the outer end of the glass plate 2 adjacent to this, and the piece 7 is inserted into the groove of the support frame 1. Insert it into the groove that has not been inserted yet.

In the same manner, the next glass plate is inserted into the support frame with the pieces attached.

Thereafter, the wedges 12 are driven and adjusted so that the surfaces of each glass plate are aligned.

After that, after press-fitting the filler 13, the decorative board 14 of the support frame 1
is mounted, a receiving material 15 is inserted between it and the glass plate 2, and a sealing material 16 is applied thereon.

A sealing material is also applied to the joints in the gaps 9 between the glass plates, and a cap 17 is applied to the upper edges of the glass plates to complete the process.

Note that the support frame 1 is not limited to those installed horizontally or diagonally as in this embodiment, but also those installed vertically on a wall surface, etc., or downwards on a ceiling surface, those installed on a flat surface, and those installed underground. The present invention can also be applied to a support frame bent to fix a curved surface force.

In addition, since the pieces come into contact with the glass plate, they are made of hard rubber, plastic, etc., and if they are attached to the edge of the glass plate with adhesive, they will be more robust, and the sides of the pieces have many protrusions. If the rough surface is used, the wedge can be securely locked.

The pieces may be integrally molded from plastic, etc., but
As shown in the figure, it is a plate-shaped molded body having grooves 18,
If it is used by being bent from the groove and the bent portion is flexible, it can be attached to glass plates of various thicknesses.

An appropriate number of pieces are attached to the edge of the glass plate depending on its size.

The wedge 12 is made of wood, metal, hard plastic, etc. to withstand driving and insertion, and if it is formed into the shape shown in FIG. 8 and has a flat part at the top as shown in FIG. 9, it will fit into the groove 5 of the support frame. This is convenient when hitting the ball when it is deep.

As the filler 13, an aggregate of thread-like lead that is tightened by press-fitting or a plastic adhesive that is solidified by flowing therein is used.

The sealing material 16 applied to the joints between the decorative board and the glass plates and between the glass plates is preferably a silicone resin filler or the like which solidifies and has elasticity.

According to the present invention, by attaching the piece to the edge of the glass plate and then inserting the wedge, the setting block that was conventionally placed at the bottom of the groove of the support frame is no longer necessary, and the concentrated stress caused by the wedge is reduced. It is safe because it does not reach the same level as a glass plate, and can be adjusted by simply moving the position of the piece slightly with a wedge.The glass plate is tightened by the plurality of wedges, and the filler prevents the piece from loosening due to vibration etc. The glass plate is fixed to the support frame in combination with the bridge.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the construction can be carried out extremely easily and accurately, and the glass plate can be made to stand firmly on the support frame.
