Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an opening/closing skylight which is attached to a roof opening in a protruding manner so that the shoji part can be slid open and closed.

Conventionally, skylights installed in roof openings have generally been opened and closed by raising and lowering the translucent panel body. Therefore, due to the raising and lowering motion, opening and closing the skylight requires effort and is difficult to open and close smoothly. There was a drawback.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and by slidably housing a transparent panel shoji in the skylight frame, the skylight can be slidably opened and closed, and the opening and closing operations can be performed easily and smoothly. So,
Moreover, by providing the skylight frame with a movable rail that can be pulled out to the outside of the frame, even though it is a sliding opening/closing mechanism, there is no need to install a guide part on the outside of the frame, and the outside guide part is exposed on the ceiling surface. The purpose of this project is to propose an openable skylight that can solve these problems.

An embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail below. Figure 1 is a plan view of the skylight, Figure 2 is a front view of the skylight in its closed state, Figure 3 is a front view of the skylight in its open state,
Figure 4 is an enlarged AA cross-sectional view of Figure 1, and Figure 5 is the AA cross-sectional view of Figure 1.
It is a BB enlarged sectional view of the figure.

In each of the above figures, the retractable skylight of this embodiment is attached to the roof opening 20 so as to protrude toward the outdoors.
A sliding part 5 is provided in a skylight frame 1, and a shoji 2 in which a translucent panel 9 is framed is slidably housed with a movable rail 3 interposed.

In the embodiment, the skylight frame 1 is formed into a rectangular frame by a pair of opposing horizontal frames 4A and a pair of vertical frames 4B, and the shoji 2 is housed within this frame. Moreover, sliding parts 5, 5 are provided in the inner longitudinal direction of the pair of horizontal frames 4A, and the shoji 2 is linked to these sliding parts 5, 5 via movable rails 3, 3.

In the embodiment, the sliding parts 5, 5 are the horizontal frame 4.
A is formed by providing a U-shaped groove with an open inner surface facing each other, and a plurality of support wheels 6, 6 are provided on the bottom surface of this U-shaped groove. In the example,
Three support wheels 6 are provided in a row with their upper surfaces flush.

Movable rails 3, 3 are slidably provided within the sliding parts 5, 5. The movable rail 3 is formed of an elongated body with a substantially U-shaped cross section, and has a sliding portion 5.
It is placed on support wheels 6, 6 inside and slides in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the movable rail 3 has two
In addition to providing two shoji support wheels 7, 7, an auxiliary wheel 8 is provided at the upper end of the inner part, and as this auxiliary wheel 8 comes into sliding contact with the upper surface of the sliding part 5, the movable rail 3 is The upper and lower parts are regulated by the upper surface of the sliding part 5 and slide.

The above-described sliding portion 5 is provided over the entire length of the horizontal frame A, and is located in the frame opening 15 provided on the right side of the skylight frame body 1.
It communicates with the outside of the frame. The movable rail 3 to be housed in the sliding part 5 is formed to have approximately the same length as the sliding part 5, and usually the entire movable rail 3 is housed in the sliding part 5 as shown in FIG. It is in a closed state, and when the window is opened, as shown in FIG. 3, it is configured so that about two-thirds of its total length protrudes outside the frame from the frame opening 15.

Next, the shoji 2 is formed by assembling the transparent panel 9 with a stile 10, and protruding guide pieces 11, 11 are formed on both sides of the stile 10, and the guide pieces 11 are attached to the shoji of the movable rail 3. The shoji 2 is placed on support wheels 7 and is slidably connected to the sliding part 5 via the movable rail 3.

The shoji 2 is pulled out from the frame opening 15 so as to be freely stored, and at this time indirectly slides on the sliding portion 5 via the movable rail 3. In other words, shoji 2
When pulled out from the frame opening 15, the guide piece 11 slides on the shoji support wheels 7, 7 of the movable rail 3 due to the rotation of the wheels 7, and at the same time, the movable rail 3 slides on the support wheels 6 in the sliding part 5. , 6 as the wheels 6 rotate. Due to the above sliding, shoji 2
slides directly on the movable rail 3 and also indirectly slides on the sliding part 5 via the movable rail 3, and as shown in FIG. 3, the skylight frame 1 When the movable rail 3 is pulled out further out of the frame, the movable rail 3 is also pulled out out of the frame at the same time. By pulling the movable rail 3 out of the frame in this way, the shoji 2 can slide smoothly even outside the frame where no guide rail or the like is originally present.

In the embodiment, the movable rail 3 is two-thirds
Since the shoji 2 is designed to protrude outside the frame from the frame opening 15, the shoji 2 can be guided and supported appropriately. Also, the movable rail 3 located inside the sliding part 5
Since the rear end portion is held between the support wheels 6 and the auxiliary wheels 8, firm support is maintained even when the tip portion is projected outside the frame. In addition, the movable rail 3 is configured with a stopper (not shown) to reliably stop the movable rail 3 when the distal end portion protrudes by two-thirds, thereby preventing further protrusion. Furthermore, the amount of protrusion can be reduced to approximately one-half if necessary.

The guide pieces 11, 11 of the shoji 2 described above are provided with horizontal guide wheels 12, if necessary, which are connected to the guide part 13 of the sliding part 5, so that the shoji 2 can be slid easily. It is designed to suppress lateral vibration when moving. Furthermore, a groove 14 is provided on the circumference of the guide wheel 12, and this groove engages with the guide portion 13, so that both the horizontal and vertical vibrations of the shoji 2 are suppressed. The guide wheel 12 described above protrudes from a lateral groove 16 provided in the movable rail 3 and is linked to the guide portion 13. The shoji 2 is reliably prevented from being completely removed from the skylight frame 1 by the guide wheels 12 coming into contact with the lateral grooves 16 or by other stopper mechanisms.

In the above-mentioned shoji 2, the translucent panel 9 is formed of double glass, and in particular, the inner glass, which is separately framed, is removably attached to the frame 10, which is made of outer glass. . As described above, the double glazing improves the heat insulation effect, and also allows for better installation of the inner glass.

17 in FIGS. 4 and 5 is a screen door, 18 in FIG. 4 is a doorstop provided at the rear of the shoji 2, and 19 in FIG. 5 is a drain hole. The skylight frame 1, movable rail 3, frame 10, etc. described above are formed of extruded aluminum or the like.

The skylight in the above embodiment is installed so as to be able to slide open and close laterally with respect to the slope of the roof opening 20.

The opening/closing operation of the skylight in this embodiment will be explained below. First, when the shoji 2 is pulled to the right in FIG.
It slides on the sliding part 5 and is pulled out of the frame. By sliding the drawer outside the frame of the shoji 2, the skylight is opened and ventilation can be freely performed. Next, when the shoji 2 is slid to the left from the state shown in Fig. 3, the entire structure along with the movable rail 3 is housed within the sliding part 5, and the skylight is closed with no guide member remaining outside the frame. Ru.

As for the driving method for opening and closing the window, various methods can be selected, such as directly sliding the shoji 2 manually, using an operating rod or a traction cord, or electrically sliding the shoji 2. Furthermore, the various wheels described above can be replaced with arbitrary sliding pieces or the like.

As described above, the opening/closing skylight of the present invention is configured such that the skylight frame body is provided with a sliding part and the transparent panel shoji is slidably housed therein, so that the skylight can be opened and closed by the sliding method. In this way, opening and closing operations can be performed easily and smoothly, and since the sliding part of the skylight frame is provided with a movable rail that can be pulled out from the frame and stored freely, the shoji can be easily and smoothly opened and closed. The movable rail allows the drawer to slide to the outside of the frame without providing an outside guide section outside the body, and reliably eliminates the poor structure of the outside guide section being exposed on the ceiling when the window is closed. There is an effect that can be done.
