[20] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a color window and door system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[21] Referring to FlG. 1, the color window and door system 100 includes a system frame

110, a glass frame 120, and a paired glass 130.

[22] The system frame 110 has a shape of about rectangle to secure a space to mount the color window and door system. Such a system frame 110 may be disposed at an outer wall. Or, the system frame 110 may be mounted at an inner wall for an interior decoration. The system frame 110 may be made of an aluminum, a synthetic resin or a wood.

[23] The glass frame 120 is disposed at an inside circumference of the system frame 110.

Such a glass frame 130 may be made of same material of the system frame 110. Alternatively, the glass frame 120 may be integrally formed with the system frame 110.

[24] The paired glass 130 is fixed at an inside of the system frame 120 and configured of a pair of glasses 131 arranged to be separated at a predetermined distance.

[25] As shown, the paired glass 130 is fixed at the glass frame 120 in the present embodiment. However, the paired glass 130 may be slidably installed in the glass frame 120. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

[26] FlG. 2 is a perspective view of the paired glass shown in FlG. 1, and FlG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FlG. 1 taken along a line 111-111.

[27] As shown in FlG. 2, the paired glass 130 includes a pair of glasses 131 separated at a predetermined distance, for example, as long as a twice of a thickness of a glass, to form an inside space.

[28] That is, a pair of the glasses 131 are arranged to be separated from one another at a predetermined distance to form an inside space. It is preferable that the paired glass 130 is configured of two 5mm thick glasses arranged to be separated at a 6mm distance. Accordingly, the thickness of the paired glass 131 is about 16mm.

[29] That is, the paired glass 130 has a double structure as described above to improve sound absorption and warmth retentivity. Therefore, the paired glass 130 allows the window and door system according to the present invention to have the enhanced heat and sound insulation characteristics.

[30] After arranging a pair of the glasses 131, a glass brim 132 is welded along the edge of the glasses 131 to seal the inside space formed by the glasses 131. The glass brim 132 may be made of a metal or a plastic.

[31] The edge of the glasses 131 may be melted to join the edge of the glasses 131 together instead of using the glass brim 132 in order to seal the inside space formed of the glasses 131. As described above, the edges of the two glasses 130 may be welded through various methods to form and seal the inside space thereof.

[32] It is preferable to form a liquid injection hole 133 at an upper portion of the paired glass 130 to inject a predetermined liquid into the inside space formed between the pair of the glasses 131. The liquid injection hole 133 is connected to the inside space of the paired glass 130 and it is preferable to form the liquid injection hole 133 at the glass brim 132. Also, it is preferable that the liquid injunction hole 133 is provided with a cap in order to close the liquid injection hole 133.

[33] As shown in FlG. 3, the inside space formed at the paired glass 130 is filled with a predetermined liquid 134.

[34] The predetermined liquid 134 is injected through the liquid injection hole 133 to fill the inside space formed at the paired glass 130. It is preferable that the predetermined liquid 134 has a predetermined color. That is, the color window and door system 100 is provided by filling the inside space of the pair of the glasses 131 with the predetermined color liquid 134.

[35] Herein, it is preferable to use a liquid having a characteristic not frozen at a cold weather for example, - 50°C as the predetermined liquid 134. For example, a break oil may be used as the liquid 134.

[36] Various colored liquids may be created by mixing coloring matters with a transparent break oil. Such a colored break oil may be injected to the paired glass 130 as the liquid 134.

[37] The liquid injection hole 133 allows a user to conveniently replace the liquid 134 in the inside space of the paired glass 130 with new liquids having various colors by draining the liquid 134 in the inside space and injecting the new liquid 134 having a desired color through the liquid injection hole 133. Therefore, the user can conveniently change the color of the color window and door system according to a season or an atmosphere. That is, the color of the color window system 100 according to the present invention can be easily changed without taking out of the entire window and door system from the wall and re-installing a new window and door system at the wall by replacing the liquid in the inside space of the paired glass 130 with a new liquid having a desired color through the liquid injection hole 133.

[38] Furthermore, the liquid 134 in the inside spade of the paired glass 130 enhances the sound absorption of the window and door system 100 according to the present invention. The sound transmits through a medium. If the medium has a greater density, the medium cuts off more sound. That is, the sound absorption of the window and door system 100 according to the present invention is enhanced by filling the inside space of the window system 100 with the liquid which has a grater density than air.

[39] Also, the color window door system according to the present invention more effectively blocks the ultraviolet ray and provides the aesthetic pleasure by filling the inside space of the paired glass with the colored liquid. That is, the color window and door system according to the present invention blocks the ultraviolet ray and provides the aesthetic pleasure without the coating sheet adhered on the glass or without installing the blind or the curtain.
