Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a sliding window that prevents accidents and thefts caused by the shoji slipping out and falling, by perfecting the alignment between the shoji, especially the outer shoji, and the window frame. Regarding the upper frame structure.

Conventionally, windows installed in buildings where a large number of people gather, such as schools and public facilities, are likely to be repeatedly used roughly, resulting in shoji shoji slipping out of the windows and falling, causing damage to people or property.

Such shoji escape accidents are caused by imperfect alignment between the window frame and the shoji, especially the outer shoji. Because it was essential to secure a certain amount of clearance, it was difficult to avoid incomplete engagement between the window frame and the shoji after the shoji had been erected. Various devices have been proposed to prevent the removal of shoji screens, but these devices have been associated with inconveniences such as forgetting to set the device, incorrect operation, or failure of the device to function properly after long-term use.

The present invention provides an upper frame structure that allows a shoji to be perfectly engaged with a window frame without using any special equipment.

To explain the present invention based on the drawings, the present invention has an upper frame of a sliding window divided into an upper frame main body 1 having an inner shoji rail 2 and two or more members that can be attached to the upper frame main body. This upper frame structure is characterized in that it is formed of an outer shoji rail 3, and that one of the two or more members is slightly shorter than half of the total length of the upper frame main body.

The upper shoji main body 1, outer shoji rail 3, and shoji frame of the present invention are generally made of aluminum, steel, etc., and the outer shoji rail 3 is attached to the lower surface of the upper frame main body 1 with screws 7 parallel to the inner shoji rail 2. Although it is fixed by other means, it is also possible to fix by other means.

As shown in Figure 1, if the outer shoji rail 3 is screwed directly to the lower surface of the upper frame body 1, there will be holes in the upper frame itself, which may cause water to seep in. Cover the area around the screws with sealant 8, etc. It is preferable to do so.

However, if a mounting piece 9 is formed above the outer shoji 3 on the upper frame body 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and the outer shoji rail 3 is screwed to this mounting piece 9, water will penetrate into the upper frame body 1. There's no chance of that happening L.

In addition, if a guide protrusion 10 is formed parallel to the inner shoji rail 2 at a position on the upper frame body 1 where the outer shoji rail 3 is suspended, the outer shoji rail 3 can be simply hung along the guide protrusion 10. The outer shoji rail 3 of the present invention can be of various types, and examples include the following.

First, as shown in FIG. 1 or 2, the outer shoji 4 is prevented from rising at a position on the side surface of the outer shoji rail 3, particularly at the upper position of the part that fits with the outer shoji upper stile 5 and/or vertical stile 12. The outer shoji rail 3 is provided with a protrusion 6, or as shown in FIG.
Some rails have a wider width (height) so that they fit deeper into the rail.

Once the outer shoji 4 is fitted into such an outer shoji rail 3, the protrusions 6 and the outer shoji upper stile 5 and/or the vertical stile 12
It is impossible to remove the outer shoji because the gap between the upper end and the lower end of the outer shoji rail and the inner bottom surface 11 of the upper stile (or the groove bottom surface of the upper end of the stile) is small.

In addition, the width and shape of the outer shoji rail 3 can be made the same as normal ones, but in this case, as shown in FIG. If a shallow groove stopper (not shown) is attached to the upper end of the vertical stile 12 of the groove, the outer shoji can be prevented from falling.

In the case of an inclined top, a stopper 13 can be attached to the upper end of the vertical stile, if necessary.

However, as described above, since the upper frame structure of the present invention has a small clearance with the outer shoji, it is extremely difficult to fit the outer shoji 4 after installing the outer shoji rail 3 over the entire length of the upper Azusa main body 1.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is necessary to manufacture the upper frame body 1 and the outer shoji rail 3 separately, and to divide the outer shoji rail 3 into two or more parts, preferably into two or three parts.

Further, when dividing the outer shoji rail 30, the dividing surface may be perpendicular or oblique to the longitudinal direction of the rail, and in the latter case, the airtightness is excellent.

When fitting a shoji into the upper frame structure of the present invention, first the inner shoji rail 2 of the upper frame body 1 is attached to the upper edge of the window of the building.
After fitting the inner shoji in the normal operation, attach one member 3b of the outer shoji rail, then fit the outer shoji 4 to this outer shoji rail, and then attach the remaining member 3a of the outer shoji rail to the upper frame body. 1 so as to be continuous with the rail of the member 3b.

When installing the outer shoji rail 3 by dividing it into two parts, for windows where three or more shoji are fitted, the outer shoji rail member 3a
, 3b should be one half or more of the total length of the upper frame main body 1.

For example, in a window into which three shoji screens are fitted, member 13b can be made to be about i of the total length of the upper frame body, and member 3a can be made to be about 200% of the total length, or both members 13a and 3b can be made to have a total length of It may be approximately i.

However, in the case of sliding or single-sliding windows in which two shoji are fitted, it is difficult to fit them in, so it is preferable to take special measures when fitting the shoji into the window frame. For a window to be fitted, if an outer shoji rail member with a dimension of more than half of the total length of the upper frame body is first attached to the upper frame body 1, it will be extremely difficult to fit the outer shoji. The dimensions of the member are made slightly shorter than half of the total length W of the upper frame body 1.

In this case, the dimensions of both members of the outer shoji rail are W+α for the long member 3a and W+α for the short member 3b! −α.

Here, setting the value of α to about 30 to 150 u is optimal.

In addition, when dividing into three or more, any one of the members is defined as 100-α.

In this way, by providing a difference in length and shortness between the two divided outer shoji rail members, the short member 3b can be attached to the upper frame body 1 even after the fixation is completed, from the width (approximately W) of the outer shoji. A large space is also provided below the location for mounting long components.

Therefore, the upper frame is formed by fitting the outer shoji upper frame 5 of appropriate dimensions into the short member 3b from this space, and then attaching and fixing the long member 3a to the upper frame body 1 so as to be adjacent to the short member 3b. Ru.

Here, the dimension of the long member 3a is W10α, but the value of α is about 30 to 150 mm, so the armor part of the long member 3a is inserted into the gap between the upper frame body 1 and the outer shoji 4. (See Figure 5).

Like the diagonal top, the upper frame of this invention does not create unnecessary gaps between it and the outer shoji, so the engagement between the two is perfect, making it suitable for buildings where many people gather, such as schools and public facilities. It has an excellent effect of preventing the shoji from escaping even if it is installed and used roughly.

In particular, with the upper frame structure of the present invention, the outer shoji will not come off, but unless the outer shoji comes off, the inner shoji will not escape.
As a result, the escape accident of the entire shoji screen is effectively prevented.

It is also extremely effective from the standpoint of preventing theft.

Furthermore, the upper frame structure of this invention allows for easy insertion and removal of shoji, significantly improving production efficiency in factories.
Another feature is that it can be easily repaired if the shoji glass breaks.
