Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a rotating round window consisting of a circular inner frame rotatably mounted within a circular outer frame.

``Prior Art'' Circular windows have traditionally been installed in buildings and other places for decorative or practical purposes. It has a structure that can only be opened in a limited direction, such as the direction or the lateral direction.

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' The purpose of this invention is to make a semicircular shoji screen attached to a round window capable of opening in any direction around it.

``Means for solving the problem'' A circular inner frame is made into a shoji by fitting a semicircular piece of glass or the like into each of the circular outer frames, with one or both sides opening and closing on the center line. A rotating round window characterized by being freely movable.

``Function'' The circular inner frame that opens and closes on the center line and has semicircular pieces of glass fitted into each frame rotates freely along the circular outer frame, making the shoji circular. It can be opened and closed in any direction around the circumference.

Embodiment FIG. 1a shows the entire rotating round window A of this invention, in which a circular inner frame 2 is rotatably attached to a circular outer frame 1. This inner frame 2 is cut in half and a semicircular piece of glass or the like is fitted therein to form a semicircular shoji screen. Among these, the shoji 3 on the left side in the figure is attached to the matching stile 4 of the inner frame 2 by hinges a and a' so as to open toward the front (into the room) in the figure. Note that b is a handle. On the other hand, the shoji 3' on the right side of the figure is not opened or closed. Here, Fig. 1a shows the right-hand side with the window opening inward. 1st
Figure b shows a state in which the shoji 3 is opened on the indoor side in Figure 1a.

Next, as shown in Figure 2a, insert the inner frame 2 into the outer frame 1.
Rotate (rotate) 90° relative to the As a result, the shoji 3 moves upward and becomes an inward-folding window (see FIG. 2b). Next, by further rotating this by 90 degrees, a left-hand casement window is obtained, which is opposite to that shown in FIG. 1a (see FIG. 3b). Then, by further rotating 90 degrees, the shoji 3 is moved to the opposite side from Figure 2 a.
This is the state of the internal protruding window located on the lower side (see Figures 4a and b).

Note that the shoji 3' may be configured not only to be closed, but also to be opened like the shoji 3.

The joint portion of the shoji 3, 3' has a mating structure in which the frames are in contact with each other, and the inner frame 2 elastically fits into the outer frame 1 to support the shoji 3, 3'. This is done by pressing the inner frame 2 against the outer frame 1 by means of a spring S via wheels W, as shown in FIG. 5 as an example.

"Effect of the invention" In the rotating round window of this invention, the entire shoji 3 and 3'
It rotates within the plane of the outer frame 1, opening inward to the right or left hand, and when the shoji 3 is placed at the top, it becomes an inward-folding window, and when the shoji 3 is held at the bottom, it becomes an internally protruding window. This results in a rotatable round window that has an action that has never been seen before and a novel appearance.
