Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a bay window, and more particularly to a bay window having mullions.

Bay windows have become popular because they allow houses to be used in a variety of ways and provide excellent lighting, but at the same time, there is a growing demand for large-sized bay windows.

When building a large bay window, mullions are required due to strength issues.

However, since conventional mullions have been installed with only strength in mind, they are not necessarily desirable in terms of workability and aesthetics.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a bay window that is easy to construct, does not impair the aesthetic appearance, and has a good relationship with the shoji screen.

An example of this invention will be described.

The mullion 1 has a hollow shape, and the outer wall at the lower end is the lower frame 2.
A stepped portion 4 is formed so as to abut on and receive the water returning wall 3, and a stepped portion 6 is similarly formed on the outer side wall of one end thereof so as to receive the indoor side wall of the upper frame 5. be done.

A channel-shaped lower mounting bracket 7 is fixed inside the lower side of the mullion 1 with screws 8 or the like.

A screw hole 10 is provided in the bottom wall 9 of the lower mounting bracket 7.

On the other hand, fit the blank hole 12 into the base plate 11 and pass the bolt 13 through the blank hole 12 from below the base plate 11.
Screw the screw part 3 into the screw hole 10 of the lower mounting bracket 7.
It is possible to attach the mullion 1 to the base plate 11.

The blank hole 12 may fit larger than the diameter of the screw part of the poles 1 to 13 to be used, or it may be a long hole that extends vertically into the interior.The use of such a hole depends on the focus after installing the mullion 1. Allow mullion movement.

That is, this hole is used as an adjustment hole.

A channel-shaped upper mounting bracket 15 is installed at the appropriate location on the top plate 14.
are individually determined using screws 16, etc.

A screw hole 18 is fitted into the opposite side wall 17 of the mullion 1.

After housing the upper mounting bracket 15 in the upper part of the mullion 1, by inserting the screw 19 into the bracket 15 through the screw hole 18,
The mullion is fixed to the top plate 14.

To install the mullion 1, place the partial mounting bracket 15 fixed to the top plate 14 into the mullion 1, and then insert the screw holes 10 and adjustment holes 12 of the lower mounting bracket 7 fixed to the mullion 1. Align the screws 8. ] 9 and the bolt 13.

The mullion 1 is placed in the room where the stile 21 is located when the bay window shoji 20 is closed, and when the shoji 20 is closed, the stile 21 and the mullion 1 are in a straight line. line up in such a way that

A smoke return 23 facing outward to the side is integrally molded on the outdoor side wall 22 of the mullion 1 and can be engaged with a smoke return 24 of the joining frame 21.

In this way, unnecessary movement of the inner butt shoji 25 of the four-panel shoji is prevented.

As is clear from the above, to install a mullion, the upper mounting bracket fixed to the top plate is housed at the top, and after aligning the screw holes of the adjustment chamber of the base plate and the lower mounting bracket, screws and bolts are used to install the mullion. It is extremely simple, as all you have to do is fix the mullions to the top and bottom plates.

In addition, the lower part of the mullion is fixed to the base plate through the adjustment hole, so when an external force is applied to the mullion, the movement of the mullion can be recognized and the impact on the mullion can be softened. allows the construction of mullions regardless of the installation tolerances of the bay window.

Furthermore, when the shoji is closed, the stile and the mullion are lined up in a straight line for an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and the engagement of the chimney bar prevents unnecessary movement of the inner shoji.

The combination of the smoke return of the interlocking stile and the smoke return of the mullion provides an airtight effect, and in particular prevents airflow from flowing into the room along the upper and lower frames.

This mullion is highly effective when used in four-panel shoji screens, etc.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view showing the installation of the mullions, and FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the bay window showing the relationship between the stile and the mullions. In the diagram: 1... mullion, 7, 15... mounting bracket, 12... adjustment hole, 23... smoke return.
