At least one of the vertical frames is divided into a main vertical frame and a sub-vertical frame, and an outdoor wall of the main vertical frame forms an outdoor wall of a vertical frame; The vertical frame has a vertical glass opening groove, and the sub vertical frame is hidden on the indoor side of the outdoor wall of the main vertical frame, and the sub vertical frame and the main vertical frame are integrated to form a vertical frame It is a flat window structure characterized by the following.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view from the outside of a flat window structure in which glass is fitted in an outer window of a store or the like, for example. ) Are fixed to each other via, for example, anchor hardware 6. The cubic 4, which is also a vertical frame, is fixed to the frame. In the relationship with the upper frame 1, the blind 5 which is also the lower horizontal frame is laid between the vertical frame 3 and the cubic 4.

An upper frame 1, a vertical frame 3, a cubic 4 as a vertical frame divided into a main vertical frame 41 and a sub-vertical frame 42, a blind eye 5 and a pressing edge 50 as a lower horizontal frame, The present invention will be described with reference to FIG. That is, upper and vertical glass opening grooves 1A, 3A, 42A are respectively provided in the upper frame 1 and a pair of vertical frames, and in the embodiment, the vertical frame 3 and the sub-vertical frame 42 of the cubic 4 to provide upper glass opening grooves 1A. , 3A, and 42A, the lowermost glass opening groove 5A formed by the blind 5 and the pressing edge 50 locked thereto is formed, and the four rounds of the glass G correspond to the corresponding glass opening grooves 1A, 3A. , 42A, and 5A, a fixed fitting window is formed.

The outer surface of the pressing edge 50 is located at least one of the outer surface of the upper frame 1 and the outer surfaces of the vertical frame 3 and the main vertical frame 41, and in the embodiment, substantially coincides with both.

Therefore, outside the four-peripheral chamber of the glass G,
The outer surface of the upper frame 1, the outer surface of the vertical frame 3, the outdoor wall surface of the main vertical frame 41 of the cubic 4, and the outer surface of the ridge 50 are located, and these are substantially the same surface. As described above, since the width of each frame material is preferably uniform at each position in the expected direction, the glass G is directly provided in the entire frame member having substantially the same outer surface (substantially no step surface). Since the outer surface of the glass G faces the outside of the room, and there is no step on the side surface of each frame member, it is very clean in design and has excellent transparency to the inside having a large opening area. Form.

As can be seen from the relationship between FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper frame 1 and the vertical frame 3 have the same cross-sectional shape, and the number of members can be reduced.

The blind 5 has a step portion descending toward the outside at the outdoor portion thereof. The step portion includes an indoor step surface wall 5a, a tread wall 5b descending from the upper surface of the seamless body, and a room descending therefrom. It is composed of an outer step wall 5c. Also, the tread wall 5b has a rising piece 5d rising upward from the outside of the room, and a locking piece 50b protruding from the middle of the outside wall 50a of the pressing edge 50 to the inside of the room at the upper bulging portion of the rising piece 5d. Is locked.

The tread wall 5b, the outdoor step wall 5c connected to the tread wall 5b, and the locking piece 50b of the ridge 50
The lower glass opening groove 5A is formed so as to be surrounded by the upper outdoor wall 50a and the lower part of the glass is fixed in the lower glass opening groove 5A.

The lower portion of the outer wall 50a below the locking piece 50b of the pressing edge 50 is separated from the outer step wall 5c connected to the tread wall 5b, and this separated portion is inserted into the lower glass opening groove 5A. The invading rainwater leads to drainage by cutting out a part or several places in the longitudinal direction of the rising piece 5d,
It is configured to be drained through the separated portion.
As a result, there is an advantage that the drainage path is not exposed to the outside of the room.
Reference numeral 65 denotes a groove closing material of the blind 5 provided on both sides of the cutout portion or both ends of the blind 5.

Further, a lower portion of the outer wall 50a below the locking piece 50b of the pressing edge 50 is separated from an outer step wall 5c connected to the tread wall 5b, and protrudes from the lower portion of the outer wall 50a to the indoor side to protrude. Are formed so as to contact the outdoor step surface 5c.

A specific example of the fixing of the glass G is held by the formed beads 61 provided on the corresponding frame members with respect to the four inner sides of the glass, the four outer sides of the glass G are held by the backup material 62 and the wet sealing material 63, Is held by the setting block 64.

Referring to FIG. 3, the cubic 4 is divided into a main vertical frame 41 and a sub vertical frame 42, and the outdoor wall 4 of the main vertical frame 41 is divided.
1a constitutes the outdoor wall of the cubic 4, and the sub-vertical frame 42 has a vertical glass opening groove 42A. The sub-vertical frame 42 is hidden on the indoor side of the outdoor wall 41a of the main vertical frame 41, 42 and main vertical frame 41
Are integrated by, for example, screws 43 to form the cubic 4. A molding bead 66 is provided on the outdoor side of the sub vertical frame 42, and this is brought into contact with the inner surface of the outdoor wall 41 a of the main vertical frame 41 to achieve sealing. This molding bead 66
End seal receiving members 67 and 68 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the space between the sub vertical frame 42 and the main vertical frame 41, and the outdoor closed space of the main vertical frame 41, respectively. Similarly, end seal receiving members 69 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the outdoor closed space of the vertical frame 3, respectively.

Although the above description is an example in which the blind and the cubic are provided, it is also possible not to provide them. In this case, the lower frame 2 becomes the lower cross member instead of the blind. For this purpose, as can be seen from FIG.
The cross-sectional forms of the blind 5 and the ridge 50 are almost the same. The description is omitted because it can be readily understood from the illustration.

In the more preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the ridge 50c formed on the outdoor wall 50a below the locking piece 50b of the pressing edge 50 has a simple cross-sectional shape. Since it abuts on the step surface wall 5c, the outdoor wall 50 below the locking piece 50b accompanying the deformation of the glass G
a can be prevented, and conversely, the deformation of the outdoor wall 50a above the locking piece 50b can be prevented against the deformation of the glass G.

Further, a ridge 50X as shown in FIG. This pressing edge 50X is
An intermediate portion of the locking piece 50P is locked to the upper bulging portion of the rising piece 5d, and further extends to the indoor side to form a ridge 5e formed on the indoor stepped wall 5a of the blind 5.
And the tread wall 5b. Thereby, the pressing edge 50X can be fixed to the blind 5.

On the other hand, by displacing the frame material toward the outside as shown in the figure with respect to the prospect of each frame material, the step between the glass G and the frame material is reduced, and the appearance is improved.
