SASH ASSEMBLY FOR SUPPORTING TEMPERED GLASS

WALL

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a sash assembly for manufacturing a tempered glass wall for a light transmission and view of various buildings.

[2]

Background Art

[3] The present invention relates to a sash assembly for manufacturing a tempered glass wall for a light transmission and view of various buildings, and in particular to a sash assembly for manufacturing a tempered glass wall for a light transmission and view of various buildings in which a heavy glass panel is fixed at an inner sash installed on a retaining wall of a building or a floor or a ceiling, and an external sash is able to produce various design effects through an end finishing effect and exchange of the glass panel, and a support and fixing force of a heavy glass panel are enhanced, and it is not separated or disconnected with respect to an external impact or load from an inner side, and various good visual effects are obtained through an exchange of an external sash.

[4] In recent years, a tempered glass wall is installed on a front side of various buildings using a glass panel. The tempered glass wall is able to provide an excellent light transmission effect and to enhance luminance for thereby decreasing unnecessary use of lights for thereby obtaining an economic effect. It is possible to escape from an indoor life, and a nice view is obtained. So, it is possible to achieve a cool effect as compared to the current situation.

[5] When a tempered glass is adapted to a public restaurant or a coffee shop, it is possible to enjoy the above indoor effects or interior decoration from an outdoor as well as from an indoor. So, a use can easily select a desired one, and a clean and fresh image are obtained for thereby enhancing reliability.

[6] In particular, a glass panel used for a tempered glass wall is not a common panel glass, but has a high strength and durability and a physical property such as anti- corrosion, anti-oxidation, anti-chemical, soundproof and water proof and adiabatic property with a good structure as compared to a concrete wall body.

[7] When constructing a tempered glass wall using a glass panel, there is a limit for manufacturing a glass panel, so that it is needed to attach the glass panels with certain widths in series. At this time, a glass panel support member is made of an aluminum sash. [8] In addition, since aluminum sash is exposed to the indoor, it may damage outer look. So, it is general that various patterns and touches and colors made of finishing members of resin are formed on the outer surface of the sash.

[9] However, since a finishing member of resin is attached to a surface of the extruded sash with a metallic material such as aluminum in the sash assembly, an adhesive is coated between the sash and the finishing member, and then the finishing member is attached to the sash. So, the work process is complicated and delayed. Since a chemical is used for the adhesive, the indoor air is polluted, and harmful components are spread in the air for thereby causing various diseases such as new house symptom. The space between the side of the sash in the side of the indoor and the finishing member attached to the front surface is filled with a spacer for thereby causing complicated works.

[10] According to the Korean patent registration number 2005-77177 filed by the same applicant as the present invention, the sash is divided into an inner sash and an outer sash, and the inner sash is inserted into the side of the integral finishing member, and the inner sash and the finishing member are concurrently fixed by means of the outer sash, and the spaces of the glass panel are exposed in various types. So, an easily assembling work and stable fixing force are obtained in the sash. It is needed to paint and heat-treat only the outer sash of the sash assembly, so that the manufacture cost is largely decreased, and it is possible to change the exposed portions with various designs for thereby providing an excellent external feature in the sash assembly for a tempered glass support.

[11] However, in the sash assembly, the fixture of the glass panel having a heavy weight is limited to the external sash, when the fixing force of the inner and outer sashes is weakened, or an impact is applied thereto, the glass panel and external sash may be escaped from the inner sash for thereby causing a dangerous situation.

[12] In the glass wall by the sash assembly, the inner sash is inserted into the inner side of the finishing member, and the inner sash and finishing member are fixed at the retaining wall or the floor or the ceiling of the building, so that a relatively stable installation force is obtained. The outer sash is fixed by means of the inner sash and engaging shoulder.

[13] When the inner and outer sashes are fixed, the end of the glass panel is sealed to the surface of the outer sash, and the weight of the glass panel, which is a high heavy member, is focused on the engaging fixture of the inner and outer sashes.

[14] So, when the fixtures of the inner and outer sashes are weak, the outer sash may be separated from the inner sash. At the time when they are separated, the glass panel fixed in the inner sash is separated for thereby causing a large accident.

[15] In particular, when a strong impact or load is applied to the glass panel in the indoor, the fixtures of the inner and outer sashes are separated, so that the glass panel and outer sash fall down. As the fixture of heavy glass panels is weak, a safety accident may occur.

[16]

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[17] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome the above problems. A glass panel fixture mounting portion is formed at an end of the inner sash so that the glass panel is fixed in the inner sash, and the outer sash is fixed with the inner sash, and the outer sash is used to seal the space between the glass panels irrespective of the glass panel. The heavy glass panel is directly engaged at the inner sash fixed in a retaining wall or floor or ceiling of the building. So, even when an external impact occurs, the sash fixtures are not artificially separated or disassembled, a stable installation is obtained.

[18] The outer sash is used for sealing the space of the ends of the neighboring glass panel. Various patterns and colors may be formed, so that it is possible to obtain a visual effect and finishing effect in the sash assembly for supporting tempered glass walls.

[19]

Advantageous Effects

[20] In the sash assembly for supporting a tempered glass wall, a heavy glass panel is directly engaged in an inner sash fixed in a retaining wall or floor or ceiling of a building. So, even when an external impact occurs, the sash fixture is not artificially separated, so that a very stable installation is possible. The outer sash seals the space of the end of the neighboring glass panel, and various patterns and colors are obtained. Excellent visual effect and finishing effect are obtained.
