Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathroom window connecting frame improved in drying performance by reducing remaining water when splashed with water from a shower in cleaning or the like. <P>SOLUTION: In this bathroom window connecting frame combining four members which are an upper frame member, a lower frame member and right and left vertical frame members, the lower frame member is provided with physical unevenness and a drainage slope, and a water lower end part is provided with round shape. The lower frame member is thus provided with physical unevenness to suppress condensation of water, and water is put in a spread state hardly forming drops. A surface area with air is thereby increased to facilitate drying. The drainage slope and roundness of the water lower end part are provided large to drain excess water on the surface. Remaining water is thereby reduced to improve drying performance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は、浴室用窓接続枠に係り、特にユニットバス等の窓開口部と窓サッシとの間を接続する浴室用窓接続枠に関する発明である。 The present invention relates to a bathroom window connection frame, and more particularly to a bathroom window connection frame that connects between a window opening of a unit bath or the like and a window sash.

従来の浴室用窓接続枠は、上枠部材と下枠部材と左右の縦枠部材は同一断面形状からなり、施工現場で四枚を組み合わせ、ねじ止めする方法が採用されたり、前記ねじ止め方法よりも容易に施工が出来るようにコーナー部材を用い接続する方法が採用されたりしていた。 The conventional bathroom window connection frame has an upper frame member, a lower frame member, and left and right vertical frame members that have the same cross-sectional shape. A method of connecting using a corner member has been adopted so that construction can be performed more easily.

ねじ止め方法は、例えば図６に示す縦枠部材１０１にねじホール１０４を設け、上枠部材１０２及び下枠部材１０３にねじホール１０５を設け、下枠部材１０３には縦枠部材１０１の下端部に下枠部材１０３の端面と前面を合せた位置に、ねじ止め用下穴１０７を開ける。上枠部材１０２にも同様にねじ止め用下穴１０７を開ける。ねじ止め用下穴１０７と縦枠部材１０１のねじホール１０４を合せ、ねじ１０６にて固定する。この作業を各コーナに行い、組み立てられた浴室用窓接続枠１００である。また、コーナー部材を用いた接続方法は、例えば図７に示すように、縦枠部材２０１にはコーナー部材２０５の嵌合片２０６が嵌合するように嵌合溝２０４が設けられ、上枠部材２０２や下枠部材２０３に嵌合するように同様の嵌合溝２０４が設けられている。コーナー部材２０５と各枠材とを連結嵌合させ、組み立てられた浴室用窓接続枠２００である。このような場合、下枠部材に水勾配がないため、清掃などでシャワーからの水がかかったとき、残水することとなる。 For example, a screw hole 104 is provided in the vertical frame member 101 shown in FIG. 6, a screw hole 105 is provided in the upper frame member 102 and the lower frame member 103, and a lower end portion of the vertical frame member 101 is provided in the lower frame member 103. Then, a screw fixing pilot hole 107 is formed at a position where the end surface and the front surface of the lower frame member 103 are aligned. The upper frame member 102 is similarly formed with a screw-fastening lower hole 107. The screw fixing pilot hole 107 and the screw hole 104 of the vertical frame member 101 are aligned and fixed with a screw 106. This is the bathroom window connecting frame 100 assembled by performing this operation on each corner. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the vertical frame member 201 is provided with a fitting groove 204 so that the fitting piece 206 of the corner member 205 is fitted to the upper frame member. Similar fitting grooves 204 are provided so as to be fitted to 202 and the lower frame member 203. This is a bathroom window connection frame 200 assembled by connecting and fitting the corner member 205 and each frame member. In such a case, since there is no water gradient in the lower frame member, when water from the shower is applied for cleaning or the like, the remaining water is left.

また、下枠部材に水勾配を取るために例えば図６に示す左右の縦枠部材１０１に必要な水勾配分ａをカットし、前記ねじ止め方法と同様に組み立てられる勾配ねじ止め方法と図７に示す様に左右の縦枠部材２０２に必要な水勾配ａをカットし、前記コーナー部材方法と同様に組み立てられる勾配コーナー部材方法と、縦枠部材に必要な水勾配を設けるのではなく、コーナー部材に水勾配を設け、そのコーナー部材により下枠部材に水勾配を設ける方法がある。しかし、下枠部材に水勾配を設けても、清掃などでシャワーからの水がかかったとき、残水を軽減することは可能だが、性能不足であった。
特開２００２−１９４９５３号公報特開２００３−１４８０６１号公報 Further, in order to take a water gradient in the lower frame member, for example, the gradient screwing method in which the water gradient portion a required for the left and right vertical frame members 101 shown in FIG. The required water gradient a is cut into the left and right vertical frame members 202 as shown in FIG. 5 and the gradient corner member method is assembled in the same manner as the corner member method. There is a method of providing a water gradient on the member and providing a water gradient on the lower frame member by the corner member. However, even if a water gradient is provided on the lower frame member, it is possible to reduce the residual water when the water from the shower is applied for cleaning or the like, but the performance is insufficient.

本発明は、上記問題を解決するためになされたもので、本発明の課題は、清掃などでシャワーからの水がかかったとき、残水を軽減し、乾燥性能を向上させることである。
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to reduce residual water and improve drying performance when water from a shower is applied for cleaning or the like.

上記目的を達成するために請求項１記載の発明によれば、下枠部材に物理的な凹凸を施すことにより、水の凝縮が押えられ、水が玉状になり難く、広がった状態となるため、空気との表面積が多くなり乾燥し易くなる。また、水勾配を確実に取り、水下端部のＲを大きく設けることで表面の余分な水が排水され、残水を軽減し、乾燥性能を向上させる。 In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, physical concavity and convexity are applied to the lower frame member, so that water condensation is suppressed, and the water is less likely to be ball-shaped and is in a spread state. For this reason, the surface area with the air increases and it becomes easy to dry. Moreover, by taking a water gradient reliably and providing a large R at the lower end of the water, excess water on the surface is drained, reducing residual water and improving drying performance.

It becomes easy. Moreover, by taking a water gradient reliably and providing a large R at the lower end of the water, excess water on the surface is drained, and there is an effect of reducing residual water and improving drying performance.

以下、本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。
図１は、浴室用窓接続枠１の完成組み立てを示す斜視図である。上枠部材２と下枠部材３と左右の縦枠部材４と左上コーナー部材５と右上コーナー部材６と縦枠部材４の前面を覆う縦枠キャップ７と上枠部材２の前面を覆う上枠キャップ８と縦枠キャップ７の上下端部を化粧するエンドキャップ１０と各枠を固定するための固定用ねじ９にて組み立てられる浴室用窓接続枠１で、下枠部材３には物理的な凹凸が施されている。物理的な凹凸は、サンドブラスト処理やホーニング処理やサンディング処理やエッチング処理等があり、例えば、サンドブラスト処理では、サンドブラストの番手大きさは６０メッシュ以上が良い。また、一般的に研磨材はアルミナを使用する。サンドブラストの番手大きさは小さいほど、対汚れ性が悪くなるため、サンドブラスト処理後に例えばコロナ処理や火炎処理やプラズマ処理や紫外線照射処理等を行うこともある。逆に、あまりにサンドブラストの番手大きさが大きいと清掃時に擦られただけで、凹凸がなくなり、耐久性に問題がある。よって、サンドブラストの番手大きさは２２０前後が好ましい。また、下枠部材３に直接ブラスト処理等を施しても良いが、例えば、フィルムにブラスト処理を施し、ブラストフィルムを貼り付けることや、ブラストフィルムの裏面に印刷を施した印刷ブラストフィルムを貼り付けて、意匠性を向上しても良い。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a completed assembly of a bathroom window connection frame 1. Upper frame member 2, lower frame member 3, left and right vertical frame members 4, upper left corner member 5, upper right corner member 6, vertical frame cap 7 that covers the front surface of vertical frame member 4, and upper frame that covers the front surface of upper frame member 2 An end cap 10 that makes up the upper and lower ends of the cap 8 and the vertical frame cap 7 and a bathroom window connection frame 1 assembled by fixing screws 9 for fixing the respective frames. Unevenness is given. The physical unevenness includes sand blasting, honing, sanding, etching, etc. For example, in sand blasting, the sandblast count size is preferably 60 mesh or more. In general, alumina is used as the abrasive. The smaller the size of the sandblast, the worse the anti-fouling property. Therefore, for example, corona treatment, flame treatment, plasma treatment, or ultraviolet irradiation treatment may be performed after the sandblast treatment. On the other hand, if the sandblast count is too large, there will be no unevenness due to rubbing during cleaning, and there is a problem in durability. Accordingly, the sandblast count size is preferably around 220. In addition, the lower frame member 3 may be directly subjected to blasting or the like. For example, the blasting process is performed on the film, and the blast film is pasted, or the printed blast film is printed on the back surface of the blast film. The designability may be improved.

この物理的な凹凸により、水の凝縮が押えられ、水が玉状になり難く、広がった状態となるため、空気との表面積が多くなり、乾燥し易くなる。 Due to this physical unevenness, the condensation of water is suppressed, and the water is less likely to be ball-shaped and spreads, so the surface area with the air increases and it becomes easy to dry.

また、図３に示すように、下枠部材３には基準面３１に対して直角よりａ分水勾配をつけ、水下端部にＲ形状を設けることで表面の余分な水が排水され、残水を軽減し、乾燥性能を向上させる。また、Ｒ寸法は大きいほど好ましい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower frame member 3 is provided with a water gradient from the right angle with respect to the reference surface 31, and an R shape is provided at the lower end of the water, so that excess water on the surface is drained and the remaining water is left. Reduces water and improves drying performance. Also, the larger R dimension is preferable.

図２は、浴室用窓接続枠１の左半分の展開斜視図である。上枠部材２には、左上コーナー部材５の円形嵌合片５２が円形穴２２に嵌合するように、また、方形片５３が方形溝２１に収まるように長手方向に連続して形成されており、円形穴２１は固定用ねじ９を固定する穴も兼ねている。また、上枠部材２の前面には、図４に示す様に、上枠キャップ８を嵌合させるためのキャップ溝２３ａと２３ｂと現場で壁と上枠部材を固定するために下穴を開けるが、そのためのガイド溝２４が設けられている。前記下穴は現場で開けることもあるが、工場内で加工することで現場の組立てを簡単にすることも出来る。上枠キャップ８には前記キャップ溝２３ａと２３ｂとそれぞれと嵌合するための突起８１ａと８２ｂが設けられている。縦枠部材４と上枠部材２及び縦枠キャップ７と上枠キャップ８は同一の断面形状であり、縦枠部材４には、図２に示す様に下端部に下枠部材３と同寸法の水勾配ａ分を工場内でカットし、下枠部材３と縦枠部材４の端面を突合せると共に互いの前面を合せた位置に固定用ねじ９用の下穴も工場内で開けている。このとき、現場にて縦枠部材４をカットする場合は、上端部をカットすることで、工場内で加工した水勾配と下穴を生かすことが出来るため、現場の組立ても簡単になる。 FIG. 2 is a developed perspective view of the left half of the bathroom window connection frame 1. The upper frame member 2 is formed continuously in the longitudinal direction so that the circular fitting piece 52 of the upper left corner member 5 fits into the circular hole 22 and the square piece 53 fits in the rectangular groove 21. The circular hole 21 also serves as a hole for fixing the fixing screw 9. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, cap grooves 23a and 23b for fitting the upper frame cap 8 and a pilot hole for fixing the wall and the upper frame member at the site are formed in the front surface of the upper frame member 2. However, a guide groove 24 for this purpose is provided. The pilot hole may be opened on site, but can be assembled on site by processing in the factory. The upper frame cap 8 is provided with projections 81a and 82b for fitting with the cap grooves 23a and 23b, respectively. The vertical frame member 4 and the upper frame member 2 and the vertical frame cap 7 and the upper frame cap 8 have the same cross-sectional shape, and the vertical frame member 4 has the same dimensions as the lower frame member 3 at the lower end as shown in FIG. The water gradient a is cut in the factory, the end faces of the lower frame member 3 and the vertical frame member 4 are abutted, and a pilot hole for the fixing screw 9 is also opened in the factory at a position where the front faces of each other are aligned. . At this time, when the vertical frame member 4 is cut at the site, by cutting the upper end portion, the water gradient and pilot holes processed in the factory can be utilized, so that the assembly at the site is also simplified.

左上コーナー部材５には、図５に示す様に四角棒状をしたコーナー部材本体５０の長手方向前面部に前面方形片５１と円形嵌合片５２と方形片５３と固定用ねじ９用の固定用ねじ下穴５４が成形されており、前面方形片５１はコーナー部材本体５０に対して垂直に接するように成形され、円形嵌合片５２と方形片５３と固定用ねじ下穴５４はコーナー部材本体５０の直交して隣接する２面に形成される。円形嵌合片５２と固定用ねじ下穴５４は方形嵌合片５３の間に交互に形成される。このとき、右上コーナー部材６は左上コーナー部材５と左右対称となる。また、各コーナー部材５と６の上枠部材２と合致する面において、前面方形片５１より固定用ねじ下穴５４が始まるようにすると、浴室用窓接続枠を組み上げた際に、各枠部材の前面部が広がる心配がなくなる。また、この各コーナー部材５と６を使用することで、縦枠部材４の上端部の下穴加工が必要なくなると共に、ねじ止めをするため、ねじ止めをしないコーナー部材よりも、強度が強くなる。
縦枠キャップ７の上下端部には見た目を向上するためのエンドキャップ１０が設けられ、縦枠キャップ７の上下端部にはめ込むため、エンドキャップ嵌合面１１の垂直方向にリブ１２が設けられている。 In the upper left corner member 5, as shown in FIG. 5, a front square piece 51, a circular fitting piece 52, a square piece 53, and a fixing screw 9 are fixed on the front surface in the longitudinal direction of a corner member body 50 having a square bar shape. An under screw hole 54 is formed, the front rectangular piece 51 is formed so as to be perpendicular to the corner member main body 50, and the circular fitting piece 52, the square piece 53, and the fixing screw under hole 54 are formed in the corner member main body. It is formed on 50 orthogonally adjacent two surfaces. The circular fitting pieces 52 and the fixing screw pilot holes 54 are alternately formed between the square fitting pieces 53. At this time, the upper right corner member 6 is symmetrical with the upper left corner member 5. In addition, when the fixing screw pilot holes 54 are started from the front rectangular piece 51 on the surface matching the upper frame member 2 of each corner member 5 and 6, each frame member is assembled when the bathroom window connection frame is assembled. There is no need to worry about spreading the front part. Further, by using each of the corner members 5 and 6, it is not necessary to prepare a pilot hole in the upper end portion of the vertical frame member 4, and the strength is stronger than that of the corner member that is not screwed because it is screwed. .
End caps 10 for improving the appearance are provided at the upper and lower ends of the vertical frame cap 7, and ribs 12 are provided in a direction perpendicular to the end cap fitting surface 11 for fitting into the upper and lower ends of the vertical frame cap 7. ing.
