A shim 10 is fixed to each of the vertical plate 4 of the first frame member 3 and the vertical plate 7 of the second frame member 6. In response to the load of the glass plate G received by the shim 10, the second claw portions 4F and 7F improve the bending rigidity of the mullion 2 and prevent the mullion 2 from buckling.

The battens 10 are members for fixing the glass pane G. The battens 10 are attached to the vertical frame 50 facing the first frame member 3. The battens 10 are attached to the vertical frame 50 facing the second frame member 6. The battens 10 attached to the first frame member 3 and the battens 10 attached to the second frame member 6 are fixed so as to be linearly symmetrical with respect to the mullion 2. The battens 10 are formed to extend in the vertical direction on other members such as the first frame member 3, the second frame member 6, and the vertical frame 50.

The bezel 10 is a hollow member formed by extruding aluminum. The surface of the bezel 10 is pre-painted or anodized. In addition to being painted or anodized, the surface of the bezel 10 may be wrapped. The bezel 10 is formed into a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. The bezel 10 is formed to clamp and fix the end of the glass sheet G. The bezel 10 supports the end of the glass sheet G at a distance from the first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6 (mullions 2).

The ridge 10 has a concave groove 10A that accommodates the end of the glass sheet G. The ridge 10 has a main body 11 that is fixed to another member, and a lid 12 that can be attached and detached to the main body 11. The ridge 10 is fixed to the mullion 2, for example, so that the lid 12 is positioned on the indoor side. The main body 11 has an installation surface 11A that abuts against another member. The installation surface 11A has a screw hole 11B formed therein for screwing to another member. Multiple screw holes 11B are formed in the vertical direction. The ridge 10 is fixed to the other member via the screw holes 11B by screws S0 and S1.

A first arm 11C is formed in a direction perpendicular to the installation surface 11A. The first arm 11C is one of the members that clamps the end of the glass plate G. The main body 11 is formed with a first claw 11D and a second claw 11E for engaging the lid 12.

The lid 12 is fitted into the main body 11. The lid 12 has a second arm 12A that faces the first arm 11C.

As shown in FIG. 5, with the lids 12, 32, 83 removed, the first frame member 3 with the grooves 10A, 31A, 81 exposed, the batten 10, the interlock 30, the pair of vertical frames 50, and the horizontal frames 70, 80 are assembled to form a first frame (step S10). With the lids 12, 32, 83 removed, the second frame member 6 with the grooves 10A, 31A, 81 exposed, the batten 10, the interlock 30, the pair of vertical frames 50, and the horizontal frames 70, 80 are assembled to form a second frame (step S12).

The first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6 are fixed together to form the uprights 2, and the lattice-shaped frame body with the uprights 2 formed thereon is fixed in the building at the installation position (step S14). The upper end of the glass sheet G is inserted into the grooves 71 and 31B, while being temporarily fixed in the exposed grooves 10A, 31A, and 81, and is fitted into each of the lattices formed in the frame body and temporarily fixed therein (step S16).

The lids 12, 32, and 83 are attached to the ridge 10, the transverse frame 30, and the horizontal frame 80, respectively, to form the grooves 10A, 31A, and 81 (step S18). The gaps between the grooves 10A, 31A, 31B, 71, and 81 and the glass sheet G are filled with the sealant C to fix the glass sheet G (step S20).

As described above, with the fitting 1, the upright 2 and the batten 10 are constructed as separate bodies, and the end of the glass sheet G is supported away from the upright, forming a thin upright 2 when viewed from the front, improving the design. With the fitting 1, the batten 10, the transom 30, and the horizontal frame 80 are provided with lids 12, 32, and 83, which allow fixing screws and the like to be concealed inside the components without being exposed to the outside, improving the design. With the fitting 1, painted components that have already been assembled to a certain extent in advance are assembled with screws and the like at the construction site to form the frame, simplifying construction and significantly shortening the construction period.

[Second embodiment]
6 and 7, the fitting 1A according to the second embodiment comprises a mullion 2, a pair of ridges 100, and a transom 300. The fitting 1A comprises a pair of ridges 100 which are formed separately so as to sandwich a glass sheet G, as opposed to the integrally formed ridges 10 of the first embodiment. The fitting 1A uses a mullion 2 and a pair of ridges 100, rather than a vertical frame 50, as the frame material on both the left and right sides.

In the following, the same names and symbols are used for the same configurations as in the first embodiment, and duplicated explanations are omitted as appropriate. The state when viewed from above is described below. The ridge 100 is formed into a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. The ridge 100 has a female thread 102 formed on the mounting surface side of the first frame member 3 and the second frame member 6. The ridge 100 is fixed by screws S3 from the back surface 4D side of the first frame member 3 and the back surface 7D side of the second frame member 6. A pair of ridges 100 are arranged opposite each other with a space between them to form a groove portion 100A.

As shown in FIG. 8, the blind 300 comprises a main body 301 and a pair of ridges 310 on the upper side of the main body 301. The side view will be described below. The main body 301 is formed as a cylindrical body with a rectangular cross section. The upper and lower surfaces of the main body 301 are formed with first claws 302 and second claws 303 which protrude outward from the upper and lower surfaces and are bent in a direction approaching each other. The main body 301 is formed, for example, so that its width in the vertical direction is the same as the width of the upright 2 when viewed from the front.

The ridge 310 is formed in the shape of a rail with a U-section with a part of the rectangular section open. At the end of the ridge 310, a third claw 311 that engages with the first claw 302 and a fourth claw 312 that engages with the second claw 303 are formed. The ridge 310 is formed so that it can be detachably fitted into the main body 301. The ridge 310 is formed to have the same width as the ridge 100. A pair of ridges 310 are fitted into the main body 301 so as to face each other and spaced apart, forming a groove 315. For example, when the ridge 310 on the indoor side of the pair of ridges 310 is removed, the groove 315 is exposed, and when the ridge 310 is attached, the groove 315 is formed. Therefore, the glass plate G is attached when the ridge 310 on the outdoor side is attached and when the ridge 310 on the indoor side is removed.

A horizontal frame 320 is attached to the top of the fitting 1A. The horizontal frame 320 comprises a main body 321 and a pair of ridges 310. The main body 321 is formed in the same shape as the top side of the main body 301 of the transom 300. The main body 321 is fixed to the installation target such as the ceiling R via a fixing member J using a tap screw S2 or the like. The pair of ridges 310 are fitted into the main body 321 so as to face each other and be spaced apart, forming a groove 316.

A horizontal frame 320, which is the upside-down version of the horizontal frame 320 attached to the upper part, is attached to the lower part of the fitting 1A. The main body 321 is fixed to the installation target, such as the floor surface E, using tap screws S2 or the like. The tap screws S2 are concealed by a pair of battens 310.

The fixture 1A not only forms a thin mullion 2 when viewed from the front, but also allows the lintel 300 and horizontal frame 320 to be thin, improving the design. The fixture 1A uses a pair of detachable battens 310, which allows fixing screws and the like to be concealed inside the component without being exposed to the outside, improving the design.

[Third embodiment]
As shown in Fig. 9, the fitting 1B is attached by replacing a portion of the glass plate G attached to the fitting 1A with plate B. The fitting 1B comprises a mullion 2, a ledge 350, and a fixing member 360. The fixing member 360 is formed with an L-shaped cross section. The fixing member 360 has a bottom 362 in which a screw hole 361 is formed, and a receiving portion 363 bent in a direction perpendicular to the bottom.

A female screw M is formed at the installation position of the upright 2 at a position corresponding to the screw hole 361. The fixing member 360 has a bottom 362 fixed to the side of the upright 2 with a screw S1. The receiving portion 363 is fixed so that it is flush with the end plate 8 of the upright 2, for example. The receiving portion 363 supports the end of one end face B1 of the plate B.

The ridge 350 supports the end of the other end surface B2 of the plate B. The ridge 350 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a rectangular cross section. The ridge 350 includes a main body 351 and a lid 352. The main body 351 is formed in the shape of a rail with a U-section with a portion of the rectangular cross section open. A pair of claws 351A that protrude inward are formed on both ends of the main body 351. The lid 352 is formed to close the opening of the main body 351. The lid 352 is formed with a pair of claws 352A that protrude outward on the back side that engages with the pair of claws 351A.

The body 351 has a screw hole 351C formed in the bottom 351B facing the lid 352. A female thread M is formed at the installation position of the upright 2 at a position corresponding to the screw hole 351C. The bottom 351B of the body 351 is fixed to the side of the upright 2 by a screw S1 through the opening. The lid 352 is then fitted into the opening of the body 351.

As shown in FIG. 10, when viewed from the side, the upper end of plate B is fixed to the horizontal frame 320 (see FIG. 8) and the lower end is fixed to the horizontal frame 70 (see FIG. 4). The groove portion 71 of the horizontal frame 70 is closed by the lid portion 77. The upper and lower ends of plate B are fixed by the ridges 350.

According to fitting 1B, glass plate G can be replaced with plate B for installation, allowing for a wide variety of designs to be created for the construction target.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified or substituted as appropriate. For example, the glass plate G may be another plate-like body such as an acrylic plate or a polycarbonate plate.
