Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a reversible sliding window that opens horizontally and is convenient for cleaning the outer surface of the shoji screen.

As shown in Figure 1, the sliding window consists of a shoji 1, a window frame 2, a support arm 3, and a pull fitting 4, and the shoji 1 is supported by the support arm 3 and rotates around the rotating shaft metal fitting, as shown in Figure 2. 8 runs on the rail 6 of the window frame 2, making it possible to reverse the movement up to nearly 180 degrees. However, when reversing a shoji that has been inverted in this way, conventionally the shoji did not have a specific gripping means, so it was done by pushing near the tip of the inverted shoji 1, or by grasping the vertical stile or support arm 3 at the rear end. This required a tedious pulling operation. In addition, in the closed position, as shown in Fig. 3, the vertical stile 1a of the shoji 1 on the side where the pull fitting 4 is attached is tightened by Gremont 7 at three locations at the top, middle, and bottom by rotating the handle 4a. A locking means that engages with the vertical frame of the window is attached and is pulled uniformly toward the window frame, whereas in the case of the vertical frame 1b on the mounting side of the rotating shaft hardware 8, the two upper and lower positions are locked. Although the hardware 8 restricts the movement of the shoji in the indoor and outdoor directions, and the adhesion to the window frame is good, the central part has no support means and is floating relative to the window frame 2, so negative pressure is applied to the shoji 1.
If it is subjected to
Another drawback was that the watertightness deteriorated.

This idea was made in view of the above points, and has a simple configuration in which a gripping member is attached to the end face of the shoji and a receiving member is attached to the end face of the window frame, improving operability during reverse rotation and reducing negative pressure when closing. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hinged window that is simultaneously improved in preventing damage to the window and improving water tightness.

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. Reference numeral 10 denotes a U-shaped gripping member, in which an intermediate portion 10a serving as a grip is formed in a cylindrical shape;
Screws 11, 11 are attached to the center of the end face of the vertical stile 1b on the side where the rotating shaft hardware 8 of the shoji 1 is installed, with both legs 10b, 10b attached.
It is fixed in place and protrudes from the end surface. Reference numeral 12 denotes a rectangular receiving member attached to the end face of the vertical window frame 2b facing the vertical stile 1b.
12b is fixed with screws 13, 13, and when the shoji 1 is in the closed position, the outdoor side circumferential surface of the intermediate portion 10a protruding toward the vertical frame 2b side of the gripping portion 10 is aligned with the side surface of the main body portion 12a of the receiving member 12. The receiving member 12 is shifted from the center to the outside of the room so that the receiving member 12 is in abutting contact with each other. In addition, 14 is a packing that is attached to the indoor end of the vertical frame 2b having an inverted L-shaped cross section and improves the adhesion of the shoji vertical frame 1b to the indoor surface.
is attached to the rear end of the vertical frame 2b on the outdoor side, and the shoji vertical frame 1
This is a gasket that fills the gap on the outdoor surface of b.

To explain the effect of the above configuration, even when the shoji 1 is inverted greatly, the gripping member 10 remains directly above the rail 6, which is the easiest to grip, as shown in FIG. ,
The gripping member 10 always protrudes or is exposed to the indoor side. If this gripping member 10 is attached to the indoor surface of the vertical stile 1b as shown by the dotted line instead of the end surface of the vertical stile 1b, the indoor surface of the vertical stile 1b will face outward when it is turned over, and accordingly, Gripping member 1
0' also warps and protrudes to the outside, making it difficult to grip. Therefore, the most desirable attachment point for the gripping member 10 is the end face of the vertical stile 1b.

To reverse the shoji 1, grip the gripping member 10,
When this is pulled in the closing direction (rightward in the figure), the shoji 1 is slid into the window frame 2 in the reverse order of the operation diagram in FIG. During this sliding, the vertical stile 1b runs counterclockwise from the left with respect to the inverted L-shaped space 16 of the vertical window frame 2b, so the gripping member 10 protruding from the end surface of the vertical stile 1b is held in place by the 14 or the ends of the vertical frame in the vicinity thereof, and slides into the inverted L-shaped space, so that the outdoor surface of the intermediate part 10a pushes up against the side of the receiving member 12 protruding from the window vertical frame 2b. Collide.

Since the receiving member 12 is fixed, the vertical stile 1b presses the packing via the gripping member 10 and comes into close contact with the end of the window frame 2b.

Now, in order to completely seal the shoji 1, pull the pull fitting 4.
When the handle 4a is rotated, one of the vertical frames 1a is tightened by the Gremont 7, so that it is pulled toward the window vertical frame 2a. Along with this, the other vertical stile 1b is the window vertical frame 2
It receives a rotational force in the direction away from b, but its upper and lower positions are regulated by the rotating shaft hardware 8, 8, and the gripping member 10 is in contact with the receiving member 12 in the center, so
When receiving the rotational force, the gripping member 10 reversely moves against the shoji 1.
Since it is subjected to a stress that pushes it toward the indoor side, it is tightly sealed with the packing 14, and as a result, the other vertical stile 1b is evenly pressed against the window vertical frame 2b in the same way as the one vertical stile 1a.

Note that the reason why the intermediate portion 10a of the gripping member 10 has a cylindrical shape and the corresponding front surface of the main body portion 12a of the receiving member 12 has a semicircular shape is to make the abutment smooth. It is even more effective if a cylindrical roller is attached to the intermediate portion 10a. Moreover, the main body part 12a of the receiving member 12 is not completely cylindrical, but only the front surface is arcuate, and the rest is straight up to the base.
Even if the gripping member 10 moves to the right side in the closed position, the gripping member 10
The intermediate portion 10a of the receiving member 12 does not fall down.
This is to prevent the straight portion 12c from sliding and weakening the pressing force against the vertical window frame 2b. Therefore, the straight portion 12c may be formed into a tapered surface that protrudes toward the indoor side. Further, the gripping member 10 and the receiving member 12 may simply engage with each other without necessarily performing a pulling action when they collide.

As described above, according to this invention, by attaching the gripping member to the end face of the shoji stile, the gripping member appears at the position where it is easiest to grip when the shoji is reversed, so that the operability of opening and closing is greatly improved. In addition, when closing, a receiving member is attached to the end face of the vertical window frame corresponding to the gripping member, and these are positioned on the side where the rotating shaft hardware is located so that they abut each other in the center. This eliminates the risk of breakage and loss of adhesion due to the center curving during negative pressure, which eliminates the risk of damage due to curvature as the center always maintains its position. It can prevent and maintain watertightness.

Furthermore, the gripping member is stored within the window vertical frame when the shoji is closed, and is not exposed to the outside, so that the design value is not reduced.
