Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an opening frame with a mullion.

For example, in an opening frame that holds fittings such as a single sliding door or a door and opens or closes either the left or right half of the opening surface, the opening surface that is not blocked by the fittings when the fitting is closed is blocked by a wall or panel, etc. In this case, a mullion is installed in the middle of the opening frame in the width direction in order to receive the parting of the blocking member and to install airtight material to make the gap between the fittings and the blocking object airtight. It is customary. In addition, since the blocking member is installed on one side (hereinafter referred to as the inside) or the other side (hereinafter referred to as the outside) of the opening frame in the expected width direction than the fitting holding part of the opening frame, the mullions also correspond to the opening frame. It is necessary to erect it inside and outside of the building. However, in conventional opening frames, the inner edge of the lower frame is generally provided at a lower position than the outer edge, and the inner and outer edges of the upper frame are provided at the same height. The length of the mullion differs depending on whether it is installed on the inside or outside.
Therefore, at the opening frame installation site, it is necessary to check whether the mullion will be installed on the inside or outside and then cut the mullion material to the required length, which has the disadvantage of requiring time and effort to check. Ta.

This invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The illustrated embodiment is a case where this invention is applied to an opening frame installed at the entrance between bathroom A and changing room B. The opening frame is formed by connecting a lower frame 1, an upper frame 2, and left and right vertical frames 3 and 4 in a rectangular shape.

The lower frame 1 includes a main wall 8 equipped with a rail 7 on which the door roller 6 of the single sliding door 5 is placed, and a pair of inner and outer leg walls 9, 10 extending downward from the inner and outer ends of the main wall with respect to the bathroom A. It has a water return wall 11 raised above the outer leg wall 10, and a weir wall 12 raised above the inner leg wall 9. The lower frame 1 is also provided with mounting edges 13, 14 extending inwardly and outwardly with respect to the bathroom at different heights.

In the illustrated example, the inner mounting edge 13 is provided on an extension of the main wall 8, is inclined downward from the outer end of the main wall 8 to the tip of the inner mounting edge 13, and is inclined in the longitudinal direction of the rail 7 and the weir wall 12. A drainage hole is opened at an arbitrary position on the upper surface of the lower frame so that water splashed from the bathroom or water flowing down from the single sliding door 5 flows from the tip of the inner mounting edge 13 to the upper surface of the drain plate 15, and the water drains at the tip of the drain plate. The water is drained onto the bathroom floor through a drain section 16. Further, the outer attachment edge 14 extends horizontally outward from the upper end of the water return wall 11.

Then, the lower frame 1 is screwed into the base 18 by passing screws 17 through the inner mounting edge 13 and through the draining plate 15, and screwing screws 19 into the flooring material 20 from the outer mounting edge 14. Fixed.

On the other hand, the upper frame 2 includes a main wall 21 and inner and outer hanging walls 23 that hang from the inner and outer ends of the main wall and form a guide groove 22 that slidably fits the upper end of the single sliding door 5 together with the main wall. , 24, and leg walls 25, 26 projecting upward at the inner and outer ends of the main wall. The distance between both hanging walls 23 and 24 is equal to the distance between the water return wall 11 and the weir wall 12 of the lower frame. The upper frame 2 also has mounting edges 27 and 28 extending inwardly and outwardly.
is provided. In this case, each mounting edge 27, 2
8 is the mounting edge 27, 13, 2 on the same side of the upper and lower frames
The inner mounting edge 27 is provided at a lower position than the outer mounting edge 28 so that the distances between them are equal.

The upper frame 2 is fixed to the upper wooden frame 31 by screwing screws 29, 30 from the inner and outer mounting edges 27, 28. In this case, if each mounting edge is also provided with leg pieces 32 and 33 that extend to a horizontal plane that is common to the upper end of the leg walls 25 and 26, deformation of the mounting edge due to screwing is prevented and the mounting strength of the upper frame is increased. At the same time, the appearance of the upper frame also improves. The upper frame is
The screws may be screwed in from the main wall 21 instead of from the mounting edge for fixation.

The left and right vertical frames 3 and 4 are formed symmetrically, and the main wall 3
4, projecting walls 35, 36, leg walls 37, 38, and a mounting edge 39, and an airtight material 40 on the outer projecting wall 36.
is installed.

In the above configuration, the mounting edges 27, 1 of the upper and lower frames
3, 28, and 14 are used to fix the upper and lower frames to the building with screws, etc., as described above, and
It is also used to attach the mullions 41. mullion 4
1 is the second one when installed outside the sliding surface of the single sliding door.
As shown in the figure and FIG. 3, the upper and lower end surfaces of the mullion 41 are brought into contact with opposing surfaces at approximately the longitudinal center of the outer mounting edges 28 and 14 of the upper and lower frames, and Screw the screw into the mullioned screw hole 42. Reference numeral 43 denotes a closing member that closes off between the mullion 41 and the left or right vertical frame.

When the mullion is provided inside the sliding surface of the single sliding door, the distance between the inner mounting edges 27 and 13 of the upper and lower frames is equal to the distance between the outer mounting edges 28 and 14, so the mullion 41 can be used as is. , can be installed between the mounting edges 27 and 13 in the same manner as described above, and the shielding member 43 can be installed between the mullion and the left or right vertical frame.

In the illustrated embodiment, when the mullion is installed on the outside, the outer hanging wall 24 of the upper frame is used, and when the mullion is installed on the inside, the inner hanging wall 23 of the upper frame and the weir wall 12 of the lower frame are used. The effects of positioning and reinforcing the installation strength during mullion installation can be obtained respectively. However, this invention is not limited to upper and lower frames having the shapes shown in the drawings. In particular, the weir wall 12 may not be provided, and the fittings are not limited to single sliding doors, but may also be doors.

As mentioned above, according to this invention, mullions of the same length can be installed on either side of the expected width of the fitting holding part, so it is possible to check the opening frame installation site in advance and select the required mullion materials. There is no need to cut the mullion to length; cut it to a certain length that corresponds to the distance between the upper and lower mounting edges on the same side, and install the mullion on the required side in the expected width direction at the installation site. Just that is enough.
