Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for attaching stained glass to an opening such as a window of a building, vehicle or ship.

(Prior art) Traditionally, stained glass is made by assembling a large number of arbitrarily shaped glass pieces into a panel by soldering to copper foil or lead wire, and is structurally weak and easily deformed. fall into disrepair. Therefore, when the panel is attached to an opening such as a window for practical use, it is necessary to reinforce the panel by bonding a reinforcing material made of a high-strength metal shape to the back side of the panel. If you want to attach stained glass to only a part of the opening to make it partially stained glass, it is necessary to construct it using a high-strength metal support provided between the stained glass and the opening frame material. was there.

In addition, laminated glass, in which a film with a decorative pattern is attached to the surface of a plate glass or sandwiched between two sheets of glass, is known as a decorative glass plate that resembles stained glass. , and a patterned interlayer film for laminated glass in which a decorative pattern is added to polyvinyl butyral, etc. used as an interlayer film for safety laminated glass (JP-A-60-16840, JP-A-60-2).
26435), etc., but they are different from conventional stained glass in terms of transparency and three-dimensional effect.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) When installing stained glass in an opening, it is necessary to have the same strength as a single sheet of glass, but the strength of a stained glass panel made of a combination of many pieces of glass is As described above, it is structurally weak, so no matter how it is reinforced using a high-strength reinforcing material, it is impossible to obtain strength comparable to that of a single sheet of glass. This problem narrowed the uses of stained glass.

Further, when reinforced, the stained glass transmits light, so the presence of the reinforcing material is clearly transmitted through, and there is a problem that the reinforcing material and the support spoil the aesthetic appearance.

Furthermore, when attempting to attach a curved stained glass panel to an opening, there is a problem in that even reinforcement is extremely difficult.

(Means for Solving the Problem) This invention provides a method for attaching stained glass consisting of a combination of a large number of arbitrarily shaped glass pieces to an opening such as a window frame, by attaching the stained glass to a transparent glass that fits the size of the opening. The stained glass and the plate glass are attached to a plate glass to form one unit, and the stained glass and the plate glass formed in one unit are installed in the opening as a carrier or medium material.

(Operation) In this method, a stained glass consisting of a combination of many pieces of glass is attached to a single sheet of transparent glass that matches the size of the opening, and a single piece of glass is formed integrally with the stained glass. Since the plate glass is used as a carrier or medium material to be installed in the opening, the strength of the opening is naturally equivalent to that of a single plate glass, and since it is transparent, its presence will not obstruct the view. do not have. Therefore,
Stained glass can be installed with the same beauty and strength as if it were installed on its own.

Furthermore, since the glass pieces constituting the stained glass are divided into small pieces, the stained glass can be constructed on any curved surface depending on the surface shape of the glass plate.

(Embodiment) The first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is an example in which a glass piece and a plate glass are joined to the plate glass at the peripheral portion of the glass piece. On the surface of a single transparent plate glass 2 that matches the size of the window frame 1 of the opening, there are 2 to 3 glass sides that make up the stained glass.
A plastic 4 having adhesive properties, such as polyvinyl butyral, is filled in the gap, and the gap is heated to fuse and bond the polyvinyl butyral. In this example, a large number of glass pieces and a plate glass are formed into one body around the glass pieces and attached to the window frame 1 in this way.

The above glass pieces are cut from conventional colored glass for stained glass and chamfered using a router, and the sheet glass is made from architectural transparent glass, which has the same transparency as conventional stained glass but is made of a single piece. It has the same strength as window glass.

The second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is an example in which a glass piece and a plate glass are joined together on the entire surface where the glass piece and the plate glass face each other.

An interlayer film made of an adhesive plastic 4 such as polyvinyl butyral is interposed between the plate glass 2 and the plurality of glass pieces 3, and the two glass surfaces are bonded by heat and pressure. Then, a copper foil tape (not shown) is pushed into the gap between the glass pieces to form a solder overlay 6 on the copper foil tape, and a black filler such as stained glass putty is filled into the glass piece. Provide an outline. In this example, the glass pieces are formed into laminated glass by colorless and transparent plate glass and an interlayer film, so the aesthetic appearance is the same as when stained glass is installed alone, without the presence of plate glass or interlayer film. It also provides the same safety as conventional safety laminated glass. That is, even if a piece of glass constituting the stained glass is broken, the broken piece will not scatter because it is bonded to the interlayer film.

In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 3, an edge made of copper foil tape 5 is provided around the glass piece 3 in the first embodiment, and the glass piece 3 is made into a plate glass in the same manner as in the first embodiment. After bonding, a solder overlay 6 is formed on the copper foil tape and the window frame 1 is attached.
to be erected. In this example, the same aesthetic appearance as stained glass using the conventional copper foil tape method can be obtained.

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 4, glass pieces 3 are assembled into a stained glass panel in advance by a copper foil tape method, and an interlayer film made of, for example, polyvinyl butyral is interposed between the stained glass panel and the plate glass 2. let me,
After being heated and pressed to form a laminated glass, it is installed in the window frame 1. The stained glass installed in this way is
It combines the beauty of stained glass made with the conventional copper foil tape method with the safety and strength of conventional safety laminated glass.

The fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is an example in which only a portion of the opening is made into stained glass. In the same way as in the above example, glass pieces are bonded to a section of a plate glass that matches the size of the opening, and the construction can be done without using conventional supports made of high-strength metal shapes. can do. When this example is used at an important point such as a transparent glass door made entirely of one sheet of glass, such as an entrance to a building, the presence of the glass door at the entrance can be aesthetically appealing. Also, when used for general windows, it is cheaper than when the entire surface is made of stained glass.

The sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is an example in which curved stained glass is installed. In this example, a curved plate glass is used to construct a decorative window or the like in the same manner as in each of the above embodiments.

In each of the above embodiments, a stained glass panel or a piece of glass is bonded to a plate glass that matches the size of the opening and then installed in the opening. By using it, it can be installed by joining to existing window glass.

(Effects) In this method, many pieces of glass are attached to a transparent plate glass that matches the size of the opening, so it can be used as a single piece of plate glass without compromising the original beauty of stained glass. It can be constructed with the same strength. By raising the strength to the same level as a single sheet of glass, the range of applications will be expanded dramatically.
