Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure (bay window balcony) which has a roof and a waist portion and projects outward from the wall surface of a building to create a continuous area in the room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since a balcony creates a continuous area in a room, it gives the room environment a feeling of spaciousness, openness, and brightness, and can be exposed to the outside environment directly from the room for sunbathing or outside air bathing. Is excellent at. However, the conventional balcony is basically an outdoor structure, and it is necessary to close the shoji that separates the balcony from the room in bad weather or at night. And when the shoji is closed, it loses its spaciousness and openness. Also,
Even a structure projecting to the outside from the wall of the same building has a poor function of changing the indoor atmosphere like a bay window.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a structure projecting from the wall surface of a building to the outside, and is excellent in improving the indoor atmosphere of a bay window and in being in direct contact with the outside environment of a balcony. The challenge is to provide a bay window balcony that has both points.

[0004]

The present invention relates to a structure that forms an indoor space that projects from a wall surface of a building to the outdoor side. The upper roof part, the lower waist part, and the shoji body for opening and closing the opening between them are provided. The waist has a bottom wall and a rising wall rising from the outer periphery thereof. The shoji body is integrally moved up and down along the rising wall of the waist. The shoji body may have a transparent portion.

[0005]

With the structure in which the entire shoji body is vertically moved integrally along the rising wall of the waist to open and close the opening, the opening of the projecting structure from the wall is completely opened.

[0006]

1 shows a bay window balcony 1. The bay window balcony 1 is composed of an upper roof portion 2, a lower waist portion 3 and a shoji 5 for opening and closing an opening 4 therebetween (FIGS. 2 and 3).

The roof portion 2 is made relatively strong by extending a beam 7 from a building body 6 of a building, and spring type weight balancers 8 are attached inside thereof on both left and right sides as viewed from the front ( (Fig. 1). Reference numeral 9 is a tight material, which is provided on the lower surface side of the roof portion 2 where the upper surface of the U-shaped frame 18 above the shoji body 5 comes into contact.

The waist 3 has a scale similar to that of a normal balcony, and includes a bottom wall 10 formed by projecting outward from a building body 6 and a rising wall 1 vertically raised from the outer periphery thereof.
Has 1. The rising wall 11 has a U-shape in a plan view in this embodiment, and the front wall 11a and the side wall 1 on both left and right sides.
It consists of 1 (b, c). The upper surface of the bottom wall 10 is the indoor space 1
It is formed on the same surface as the second floor surface 13. Further, groove-shaped vertical guide rails 14 are fixed to the skeleton 6 on both sides of the waist 3, and have a length from the lower surface of the roof 2 to the lower surface of the waist 3. Reference numeral 15 is a tight material, which is attached to the lower surface side of a flange 16 attached to the upper surface of the U-shaped rising wall 11, and the upper surface of the U-shaped frame 19 below the shoji 5 contacts.

The shoji body 5 is composed of a frame body 17 and a transparent tempered glass plate 18 attached to the frame body 17. Like the rising wall 11, the shoji body 5 is U-shaped in plan view in this embodiment, and the front and rear portions 5a and 5a It is composed of side portions 5 (b, c) on both sides. The U-shape of the shoji body 5 is larger than the U-shape of the waist portion 3 in this embodiment, and the size in the vertical direction and the size in the prospective direction are large enough to completely close the opening 4. The shoji body 5 is arranged so as to be vertically movable along the outer surface of the rising wall 11 of the waist 3 (FIG. 2).

The frame body 17 is formed by assembling hollow frame members to be strong, and corresponds to the upper and lower edges of the glass plate 18 and the side edges of the building on both left and right sides, which are formed in a U shape in plan view. In addition, the upper U-shaped frame 19 and the lower U-shaped frame 20 and the left and right building-side vertical frames 21 and 22 connecting them are continuously and integrally configured. Therefore, the completed shoji body 5 does not have erection on both sides on the outdoor side. Also,
Guide rollers 23 are mounted on the upper and lower sides of the building side vertical frames 21 and 22 on the left and right sides of the frame 17, respectively.

The shoji bodies 5 are arranged in a superposed manner along the outer surface of the waist 3 (FIG. 4), and after the guide rollers 23 located on the building side are fitted to the guide rails 14, the roof 2
The wires 24 attached to the left and right balancers 8 are attached by attaching one ends of the wires 24 to the left and right sides of the upper U-shaped frame 19, respectively.

With the above structure, the shoji body 5
The opening 4 of the bay window balcony 1 can be closed by putting a hand on the frame 17 and pulling up the shoji 5 (FIG. 2), and by pulling it down, the opening 4 can be opened (FIG. 3).
In any case, this operation can be performed lightly by the function of the balancer 8.

When the bay window balcony 1 is closed, the indoor space is completely shielded from the outside environment as in the bay window. At this time, the shoji body 5 is placed on the rising wall 11 of the waist 3.
Since it is located at this location, the expansion of the indoor side area by the bay window balcony 1 is ensured, and it is not necessary to provide one that partitions the bay side balcony 1 side and the indoor side space.

When the bay window balcony 1 is opened, the shoji body 5 as a whole descends and the rising wall 1 of the waist portion 3
Since it moves to the outer surface side of 1, the opening portion 4 can be completely opened as if the shoji body 5 does not exist when viewed from the indoor side. No pillars remain on the open surface of the opening 4. This state is the same as the conventional balcony.

The above is one embodiment, and the shape of the waist portion 3 in plan view is not limited to the U-shape, but may be another polygon, a semicircle, a semi-oval, or the like. Further, in the embodiment, the shoji body 5 is located on the outer surface side of the rising wall 11 in the waist 3, but it may be located on the inner surface side. Alternatively, the rising wall 11 in the waist portion 3 may have a double structure inside and outside, and when the descending shoji body 5 descends, it may be housed between the inside and outside walls.

The glass plate 18 of the shoji body 5 is not limited to a single molded product, but it is possible to use it by bonding it on the front side and on the side surfaces on both sides, and it is also possible to use a framed combination. Alternatively, a center pillar may be erected at a corner of the frame body 17 on the outdoor side, and the pillar may be directly attached to the frame body 17 upright with a ridge. The glass plate 18 may be an acrylic plate. The shoji body 5 may have a structure such as a shutter having no light transmitting portion. It is easy to open and close the shoji body 5 by power.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The room becomes wider and brighter as it expands. By opening the opening, you can get the same feeling of openness as a balcony and direct contact with the outside environment. You can get a more comfortable living space.
