Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gasket and a window frame, and more particularly to a gasket and a window frame in which plate bodies such as a lighting plate and an outer wall plate can be easily fitted and fixed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general office buildings, buildings such as school auditoriums and gymnasiums, glass or synthetic resin is used to form a visual interface on the outer wall or roof and to incorporate the light indoors. A large number of plates (lighting plates) are assembled in a plane to form a window or skylight. Conventionally, for example, a long form member made of a metal material such as an aluminum drawing material has been used to attach the lighting plate in a flat shape on the outer wall surface of a building. The formwork material was constructed as a large number of rectangular bodies on the entire wall surface of the building, and the lighting plates were tightly fixed by rain treatment in each rectangular body, and all the lighting plates were laminated in a planar shape.

[0003]

However, since the metal mold material is expensive, and is formed of a plurality of members in order to prevent rainwater and dust from entering the room, The work of combining and connecting each member was difficult. In addition, a mold member formed by incorporating a large number of members so that the end portion of the daylighting plate can be tightly fitted must be connected to a rectangular body for incorporating the daylighting plate. Therefore,
It is necessary to cut the form material that is connected in an orthogonal state to the form material that is long in one direction to a predetermined length, but if there is an error in the cutting dimensions, it will not be usable and the material will be wasted. Was caused. Furthermore, a lighting plate must be fitted into the frame material connected to the rectangular body, but these works are done at high places on the wall or roof based on the scaffolding, so the work is difficult and always , With the risk of falling.

In recent years, the entire surface of the building has been made of glass,
Many fixed windows that do not open are used. In such a construction method, a rubber gasket is used as a window frame material that supports a daylighting plate, instead of the above-described metal mold frame material. There are various gaskets having various shapes and structures according to the purpose of use and the place of use, but the basic one shown in FIG. 7 is used for bonding and fixing the lighting plate.

The gasket a shown in FIG. 7 has a pair of sandwiching pieces b and c formed symmetrically on both sides in the longitudinal direction of a long rod-shaped body made of an elastic material such as rubber and having a rectangular cross section. It is formed, and a fitting groove d is formed between the sandwiching pieces b and c. This gasket a is combined with a rectangular frame body and used as a single rectangular frame body connected in sequence vertically and horizontally, or a large number of rectangular frame bodies are continuously connected vertically and horizontally as a unit to be used.

The lighting plate e made of glass or synthetic resin is
The end portion in the lengthwise direction is fitted into the fitting groove d and fixed.
When fitting the daylighting plate e, one side of the sandwiching pieces, for example, the sandwiching pieces b facing the outdoor side, are curved outward as shown by the chain line, and the fitting groove d between the other sandwiching pieces c is expanded. It was opened to facilitate the fitting of the daylighting plate e. However, since the sandwiching pieces b, b have a wall thickness and the sandwiching pieces b, b are an integral solid member, the sandwiching pieces b, b are curved outward and the fitting groove d is formed. It was extremely difficult to fit the daylighting plate e while maintaining the expanded state.

In order to facilitate bending of the sandwiching piece, a zipper type gasket has been provided in which a zipper is fitted and inserted in a plane portion between the sandwiching pieces, which is usually oriented outdoors. . FIG. 8 shows an example of the zipper type gasket a1, in which a fixing groove f is formed over the entire length in the length direction in the plane solid portion between the sandwiching pieces b, b, and the zipper g can be detachably attached in the fixing groove f. In addition, it is possible to tightly fit. For example, see Fig. 2 of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-15453 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No.
It is shown in FIG.

In order to fit the lighting plate e into the fitting groove d of the gasket a1, first, the zipper g is fixed to the fixing groove f.
And the fixing groove f in the plane solid portion between the clamping pieces b.
To form a space. Therefore, the thickness of the base portions of the sandwiching pieces b, b is reduced by the space, and the outward bending is facilitated. After fitting the daylighting plate e into the fitting groove d, and inserting the zipper g into the fixing groove f, the holding pieces b and b are pressed against the daylighting plate e to reinforce the holding force.

The zipper type gasket a1 described above is
The holding pieces b, b can be easily bent, and the fitting groove d can be widened to easily fit the daylighting plate e. However, this is simply a result of comparison between the gasket a and the gasket a1, and since the rubber material of the gasket a1 has an extremely high hardness of 70 to 80 degrees, in reality, even in the case of the zipper type gasket a1. Holding pieces b, b
It was difficult to bend the shell outward.

Therefore, each of the gaskets a1 is used, and a daylighting plate e having a size of, for example, 1000 to 2000 mm is provided in a rectangular frame body unitized to form a window frame.
When fitting in, 3 workers could construct only 2 or 3 sheets in one day, and the work efficiency was extremely poor.

If the lighting surface constructed by using the above gasket a1 is a vertical surface such as a window of a building, there is no particular problem. However, like the skylight device h of FIG. 9, the lighting surface i may be an inclined surface facing east or south. As described above, the gasket a1 is connected to a large number of rectangular frames, and the lighting plate e is fitted into each frame. When the lighting surface is inclined, the gasket a1 along the inclined surface is aligned.
Then, the gasket a1 orthogonal to the inclined surface is formed.

As shown in FIG. 10, the upper surface of the lighting plate e,
A step of 1 cm or more is formed between the tops H of the gaskets a1 located outdoors. At the time of rainfall, rainwater continuously flows out along the inclined surface indicated by the arrow A in FIGS. 9 and 10, but after the rain stops, the rainwater and the upper side of the gasket a1 orthogonal to the inclination of the daylighting surface i. Rainwater j collects between the lighting plates e. When the dust adheres to here and the water evaporates, the dust adheres to the lighting surface e, and when seen from the indoor side, the dirt of the dust is noticeable, and the adhered dust is difficult to remove. ..

Furthermore, the present invention is a window frame in which the gasket 1 is formed in a rectangular frame body 5, and is a window frame in which the frame body 5 is unitized.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a gasket 1 according to the present invention, in which one side surface (upper surface in the drawing) of an elongated material 2 made of rubber and having an appropriate elasticity is used as a mounting surface 3. It is characterized in that a butt projection 4 of a later-described daylighting plate is integrally formed on the entire lengthwise central length of the mounting surface 3.

The gasket 1 and the lighting plate 5 made of glass, synthetic resin or the like are fixed by the means shown in FIG. That is, the lengthwise end portions of the adjacent daylighting plates 5 are placed on the placing surface 3 of the long material 2. At this time, a gap having a predetermined width is formed between the end surface of each daylighting plate 5 and the abutting protrusion 4, and the caulking material 6 is filled in the gap and hermetically sealed.

Reference numeral 7 is a metal-made covering plate that is long along the gasket 1, is disposed on the caulking material 6, and is located on both ends of the covering plate 7 in the lengthwise direction on the end portions of the adjacent daylighting plates 5. Put each on. After that, fasteners 8 such as screws or screws screwed into a plurality of positions along the length of the cover plate 7 are screwed into the gasket 1 through the protrusions 4. In this way, the caulking material 6 and the covering plate 7 seal the space between the ends of the lighting plate 5 adjacent to the gasket 1, and the fastener 8 fixes the entire joint.

Since the gasket 1 is hard but has appropriate elasticity, the metal elasticity of the covering plate 7 acts by fixing the covering plate 7 to the gasket 1, so that the lighting plate 5 becomes the gasket 1. When the lighting plate 5 and the gasket 1 are brought into close contact with each other, the lighting plate 5 and the gasket 1 are brought into close contact with each other. As shown in FIG. 3, if the upper surface length direction of the protrusion 4 is V-shaped in cross section, the fastener 8 inserted from above has a screwing direction along the inclined surfaces on both sides. Guided, fasteners 8
Is always screwed into the vertical center position of the gasket 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, the gasket 1 having the above-mentioned shape is arranged so that the protrusions 4 are exposed to the outside and combined with the rectangular frame body 9 to form a single window frame. This frame 9
Is cut into a predetermined length from a single gasket 1, and the ends of the four gaskets 1 are connected to each other to form a rectangular body, or when the gasket 1 is produced, the frame body 9 is formed as a rectangular body by integral molding. Should be formed. The lighting plate 5 is mounted on the rectangular mounting surface 3 in the frame 9 and fixed as described above. The frame 9 may have a square shape or a rectangular shape, which is determined by the appearance, design, etc. of the entire building.

The single frame 9 is used by sequentially connecting a plurality of frames vertically and horizontally so as to form a window construction surface. However, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, a large frame body 10 may be formed by forming and unitizing the individual frame bodies 5. This large-sized frame body 10 can be mounted on the window construction surface of the building after fitting the daylighting plate 5 in advance, or by mounting the frame body 10 on the window construction surface and then fitting and fixing the daylighting plate 5 into each frame body. Good. The large-sized frame body 10 also has a limited molding size, and a plurality of frame bodies 10 are vertically and horizontally arranged to construct the entire window frame.

The frames 9 and 10 to which the daylighting plate 5 is fixed are connected and fixed to the building girder material on the indoor side, but FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention which can be connected to the building girder material. It is a gasket, and the same parts as those in the previous embodiment use the same reference numerals. In the present embodiment, a locking member having locking step portions 11 on both sides in the length direction along the entire length in the length direction along the center of the lower surface of the long member 2 on the plane opposite to the mounting surface 3. It is characterized in that 12 are integrally connected and a locking recess 13 is formed between the elongated member 2 and the locking step 11.

The present embodiment is constructed as described above, and the caulking material 6 and the covering plate 7 are used on the mounting surface 3 of the long member 2 to seal between the abutting ends of the daylighting plate 5 and to fix them. Fixing using the tool 8 is the same as the above-mentioned embodiment. The present embodiment is characterized in that the gasket 1 can be connected to a building girder material (not shown) installed on the indoor side, and the locking member 12 has a connecting member 14 directly connected to the building girder material.
Is attached.

The connecting member 14 is formed by horizontally bending a U-shaped locking projection 15 on one side of an upper portion of a vertically elongated metal plate, and at the lower portion of the metal plate, a building girder material. The connecting portion 16 for connecting is formed by horizontally bending in a direction opposite to the locking projection 15. Such a connecting member 14
Are used symmetrically with the locking projections 15 facing inward, and the middle part of the metal plate is fixed using a connecting tool 17 such as a bolt or a nut.

In use, the long member 2 and the locking member 12
A coupling member 14 is provided in the engaging recesses 13 on both sides formed between the connecting members 14.
If the locking projections 15 are closely fitted and the pair of connecting members 14 are integrally fixed by the connecting tool 17, the locking projections 15 are pressed into the locking recess 13 by metal elasticity and the locking projections are 15 is hooked on the locking step 11. Therefore, the locking projection 15 does not come out of the locking recess 13 in the outward direction, and even if the pulling action in the direction of the connecting portion 16 works,
The locking projection 15 does not come off from the locking step portion 11, and the state of connection between the gasket 1 and the connecting member 14 becomes strong.

The structure of the connecting member 14 described above is an example, and other structures can be adopted. Further, in order to prevent rainwater that has entered between the daylighting plate 5 and the gasket 1 from dripping indoors due to a change with time, a draining device for causing the rainwater to flow out may be provided in the connecting member 14. These structures can also be arbitrarily selected.

When the frame body formed by the gasket 1 of each of the above-described embodiments is unitized into a large frame body 10, and a daylighting plate 5 having a size of 1000 to 2000 mm is fitted into each frame body and fixed, Three workers were able to construct an average of 9 sheets per day, and the windows could be constructed very efficiently.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the case where the daylighting plate 5 is fitted and fixed has been described, but as the plate body, the daylighting plate 5 is used.
It is not limited to. A publicly known outer wall plate may be fitted in place of the daylighting plate 5 to form a wall surface. Further, the daylighting body and the outer wall plate may be combined and fitted.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention described above, since one side surface of the elongated flat plate-shaped material 2 is used as the mounting surface 3 of the daylighting plate 5, the end portions of the adjacent daylighting plates 5 are mounted. It can be fixed simply by placing it on the placing surface 3. Further, since the butting protrusion 4 is formed at the center of the mounting surface 3 in the length direction, the butting distance between the adjacent daylighting plates 5 is always constant through the protrusion 4. Therefore, the gasket 1 is connected to the rectangular frame 5 having a predetermined size, and the lighting plate 5 is adjusted in accordance with the size of the frame 5.
It is possible to standardize the whole by forming the square shape. This makes it possible to construct the window without waste of material and in a short time.

In particular, in the gasket of the present invention, since it is not necessary to form the sandwiching piece of the daylighting plate, it is possible to effectively utilize the resources while keeping the overall structure simple. Moreover,
By simplifying the structure of the gasket, the weight becomes lighter, and when the unit is made up of a large number of rectangular frames, the overall weight can be reduced, and the load on the building girders to be connected and the entire building is light. It can be transformed into.
