Detailed Description of the Invention

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a glass block assembly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A glass block or a glass block aggregate composed of a plurality of glass blocks is widely used as a constituent member of a building.

The glass block assembly is provided with a predetermined strength by using a metal frame, a bridle and the like so that the glass block wall can flexibly respond to vibration and wind pressure.

At the time of construction of a conventional glass block assembly, an operator attaches a cushioning material or the like to a metal frame used for an attachment portion between a frame and a glass block wall, and an anchor for supporting a vertical force bone on the metal frame or the like. After fixing pieces etc. to the bar,
The glass blocks are stacked one by one, and then lateral force bones and anchor pieces are arranged.

When such a construction method is adopted, a single glass block is piled up one by one, so much time and labor are required, workability is poor, and the finish is not uniform due to the difference in the skill of the workers. There are cases. Further, since most of the wet work involving the use of water for filling mortar or the like as a joint filling member is performed at the construction site, problems such as pollution occur. In particular, when the construction work of the glass block wall is performed at a plurality of places, there is a problem that not only the work at the construction site but also the time and labor of the preparatory work increase significantly.

Therefore, in order to deal with such a problem, a glass block assembly having a shape adapted to the size of the opening of the wall is manufactured in advance, and only the work for mounting the glass block assembly is performed at the construction site. A construction method to be performed is proposed.

In such a glass block assembly, on the horizontal surface plate, the strength rods of the round bar are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions in a panel frame adapted to the size of the opening of the wall, and are partitioned by the strength bones. Further, the glass blocks are arranged and fitted in the panel frame, and a joint filling member such as mortar is filled between the glass blocks and between the glass block and the panel frame.

[0008]

However, in the conventional glass block assembly, when the joint filling member is filled between the glass blocks, the strength of the round bar becomes an obstacle to the filling and the joint filling member is If it is simply supplied from above, the joint filling member does not wrap around to the back side of the horizontal force bone (the side opposite to the side to which the joint filling member is supplied when viewed from the force bone), and a void is created. There is a problem that a predetermined strength cannot be given to the glass block aggregate due to the incomplete filling state. Further, in order to prevent the filling of the joint filling member, it is conceivable to use a force bone having a small diameter, but mere thinning of the force bone naturally causes a decrease in the strength of the glass block aggregate. Therefore, conventionally, when supplying the joint filling member, an operator performs the filling work while sticking the back side of each force bone with a rod or the like so as not to generate such a void portion of the joint filling member. However, such work not only takes time and labor, but also causes a problem of damaging the glass block when the filling portion is pierced with a rod or the like.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent the glass block aggregate from being deteriorated in strength by the force bone.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a glass block assembly in which the joint filling member can be easily and completely filled between the glass blocks, and the glass blocks can be efficiently constructed.

[0010]

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems and objects, and a plurality of glass blocks, a panel frame for arranging and enclosing these glass blocks, and the above-mentioned aligned arrangement are provided. In a glass block assembly consisting of joint fillers arranged between glass blocks and between the glass blocks and between the glass blocks and the panel frame, the joints are band-shaped, and The glass block assembly is characterized in that the width surface is arranged in parallel with the thickness direction of the glass block.

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the force bones disposed between the glass blocks are belt-shaped and the width faces thereof are disposed parallel to the thickness direction of the glass blocks, the glass block aggregate is provided. When the joint filling member such as mortar is filled during the manufacturing of (3), since the thickness of the joint bone in the filling direction is thin, the joint filling member easily flows and the joint can be filled without forming a void around the joint bone. Moreover, since the width face of the strength bone is arranged in parallel with the thickness direction of the glass block, the strength strength of the strength block in the thickness direction of the glass block aggregate is also excellent.
