Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a bay window having a window opening and an article storage section.

Bay windows are used not only for lighting and ventilation purposes, but also as decorative shelves.
Various items may be placed there.

However, with old-fashioned bay windows, equipment can be seen through from outside,
There is a risk that valuable items may be stolen due to broken glass or unauthorized opening of shoji screens.

Bay windows equipped with shutters on the outdoor side are known for purposes such as crime prevention, blindfolding, and glass protection, but when the shutters are raised, items can still be seen through the window, so the crime prevention effect is low.

Therefore, in order to see through the items from outside and block direct sunlight, it is possible to install an item storage area under the bay window, but conventionally, shutters, etc. installed on windows only have sliding glass shoji parts. It was meant to cover.

Therefore, if you install a storage area for items that cannot be seen from outside under the window opening that allows sunlight and ventilation in a bay window, it will be difficult to store items when rainwater flows down from the glass shoji sliding part during rain or typhoons. Audio equipment and other electrical appliances cannot be placed safely as there is a risk that they may get inside the room and wet the stored items.

The idea was to divide the bay window into upper and lower halves, with a window opening in the upper part equipped with a glass shoji that can be opened and closed to allow sunlight and ventilation, and a storage area in the lower part that was closed late with a panel. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem by installing sliding shutters on the outdoor side that cover the window openings and the article storage area.

Next, this invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiment.

The window frame, which is the main body of the bay window according to this invention, consists of an upper frame 1, a lower frame 2, a blind frame 3, and left and right vertical frames 4 and 5, which are all made of metal shapes, and are approximately the size of a Japanese character when viewed from the indoor side. It is made up of a combination of shapes.

The upper frame 1 protrudes outside from the lintel 6, and the lower frame 2 is connected to the window sill 7.
The vertical frames 4 and 5 extend further outdoors than the pillars 8 and 9.

The upper frame 1 includes an indoor side hanging board 1a, and an upper plate 1b extending downwardly from the vicinity of the upper end of the indoor side hanging plate toward the tail side.
a lower plate 1c extending from near the lower end of the indoor hanging plate toward the outdoor side;
It has an outdoor hanging plate 1d connecting the outdoor ends of the upper and lower plates, and a hollow part 1e is formed by each of these plates 1a, lbt lc, 1d, thereby significantly increasing the strength of the upper frame itself. There is.

The upper frame 1 has the indoor side hanging board 1a in contact with the outdoor side of the lintel 6, and the upper and lower parts of the indoor side hanging board are fixed with nails, wood screws, etc.
1, it can be fixed and attached to the building.

The upper frame 1 also has a groove m19m2 forming the sliding part of the glass shoji on the lower surface of the outdoor side portion of the lower plate 1c, and a single sliding or sliding type glass shoji d1. The upper end of d2 is slidably held.

m3 is a groove for slidably holding the upper end of the screen door, etc., if desired.

Furthermore, a groove hole is provided at the outdoor end of the upper frame 1 to cover the sliding portion of the shutter.

The upper frame is connected to the vertical frames by screws or the like with its longitudinal ends in contact with the opposing surfaces of the vertical frames 4 and 5.

Mume 3 is provided to divide the bay window into two levels, upper and lower.
Between the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2, both ends in the longitudinal direction are fixed to the left and right vertical frames 4 and 5 using screws or the like in a conventional manner.

On the upper side of the open end of the room, the shoji d1. d2 and the rail r1°r2. which supports the lower end of the screen door d3. r3 and a weir wall 3a are provided, and a groove for fitting the upper end of the panel p is also provided on the lower side.

In addition, the blank may be an integral piece extending in the shape of a hollow flat plate from its outdoor end to a position touching the straight line connecting the indoor side of the lintel 6 and the indoor side of the window sill 7, or it may be a separate piece. It may also be a combination of an inner member and an outdoor member.

In both cases, the solid top surface is horizontally shaped so that articles can be placed thereon.

The lower frame 2 also extends from the window sill 7 and receives the load of the shutter at its outdoor end, so in order to increase the strength of the lower frame, the indoor side hanging board 2a, the upper board 2b, the lower board 2C, Indoor hanging board 2d
The indoor end of the upper plate 2b is in contact with the upper surface of the window sill 7, and the hanging plate 2a hanging down from the upper plate 2b is attached to the outdoor side of the window sill 7. They are abutted and fixed at the top and bottom using nails, wood screws, etc.

A groove m6 for fitting the lower end of the panel p is provided on the upper surface of the outdoor end of the upper plate 2b, and a groove m7 for covering the shutter sliding part is provided on the outdoor side thereof. This allows the lower end of the shutter to be slidably held in the groove.

The lower frame also has both longitudinal ends thereof in contact with the opposing surfaces of the vertical frames 4 and 5, and are connected with screws.

Among the vertical frames, the left vertical frame 4 in Fig. 2 is for the shoji screen, and the screen door d
3 and the groove mB, m, which receives the left end of the shutter d4.
A vertical wall 4a having m1o and provided at the indoor end
is in contact with the outdoor surface of the column 8, and the peripheral edge 4b, which is connected at right angles to the vertical wall 4a, is in contact with the inner surface of the column 8, and is fixed by nails, wood screws, or the like.

The right vertical frame 5 has a groove m1 for receiving the shoji d and the right end of the shoji when opened, as well as the right end of the screen door d3.
It has a length of □9m129m13, and like the left vertical frame 4, its vertical wall portion 5a abuts against the outdoor side surface of the column 9 and is fixed with wood screws or the like.

The outdoor end of the right vertical frame 5 ends at a groove m□3 corresponding to the groove - of the left vertical frame 4, and a portion corresponding to the groove m1° is open.

Furthermore, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2 are extended to the right outward from the right vertical frame 5, and the bent edge forming the upper azusa groove m3 is cut out, Furthermore, by connecting the mirror plate 11a and the side plate 11b to the extensions of the upper and lower frames, a door pocket 11 is provided which communicates with the shutter sliding portion provided on the front surface of the bay window.

Then, the shutter which has been slid open from the shutter sliding portion can be stored in the door pocket.

Instead of extending the upper and lower frames outward to the right from the right vertical frame 5 and using the extended parts as the top plate and plate of the door pocket, it is possible to use a top plate and plate that are separate from the upper and lower frames as the top plate. , it goes without saying that it may be fixed to the lower frame.

An important point in this idea is that the window frame should be
, 2, the left and right vertical frames 4, 5, and the mumu 3 in a diagonal shape, the glass shoji d1. d2 is built to create a window opening that allows ventilation, lighting, and the placement of small items, and a panel p is installed below the open space 3 to create an article storage area 10. In addition, these window openings and the outdoor side surface of the article storage section 10 are covered with rain shutters.

The height of the article storage section 10 from the guide floor is determined depending on the function and intended use of the articles stored therein. When storing items that are normally installed on the indoor floor, such as space heaters, wind fans, sideboards, etc., it is appropriate that the bottom surface of the storage area be at the same height as the indoor floor or slightly higher. Therefore, when storing audiovisual equipment such as a television, radio, or stereo, it is best to install it at a height that makes it easy to see and hear during normal daily life indoors.

Further, the panel p may be a movable panel housed in a panel shoji, a vertical frame, or a blank enamel using a conventionally known method, and the material may be either transparent or opaque, and may be made of an infrared transparent material such as glass. When using materials,
You can also use the storage area as a greenhouse and place pots containing plants that like a warm atmosphere so that you can admire them from indoors.

As described above, the article storage section 10 can store various devices and devices.

Conventional shutters on windows are designed only to cover window openings for the purpose of crime prevention, blindfolding, and rainproofing, so if no measures are taken, they will cover the window openings or the windows during rain or typhoons. Rainwater falling on the shutters may flow down the outdoor side of the storage area and enter through the gap and/or between the bottom frame and the panel, causing deterioration and failure of the expensive equipment mentioned above. There can be many.

However, with this invention, the above problem is completely solved because the shutters are built to cover not only the window opening but also the article storage area, so you can safely install the item storage area in the bay window. can be provided.

Note that W is a wall and FW is an exterior material.

As mentioned above, the bay window according to this invention is divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper part is equipped with a glass shoji that can be opened and closed freely on the outdoor side, and a window opening that allows sunlight and ventilation is provided. A panel is fixed to the outdoor part to form the goods storage area, and a window opening and shutters covering the goods storage area are slidably built on the outdoor side, so the upper part is designed to provide lighting, ventilation, and goods storage.
