[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art A rectangular glass block panel made of a single block of glass blocks or a combination of multiple glass blocks is known as a lighting fixed shoji for closing a rectangular opening formed on a wall of a building, particularly an outer wall. The glass block is made by butt-joining two rectangular boxes made of glass at the opening end of the side plate. In FIG. 1, 10 is the glass block, 11 is a glass box, 11a is a square bottom plate, 11b is a side plate that surrounds four sides (left and right in FIG. 1 and front and rear of the paper surface), and 11c is an open end joint. Show the line. In addition, a rising portion 11d is formed in a frame shape on the outer surface of the side plate 11b except for the opening end 11c, and a recess 11f is formed inside the rising portion 11d via a step portion 11e. It inclines so that thickness may become thin toward the end 11c.
[0003]
Accordingly, the glass block 10 has a shape in which the frame-shaped rising portion 11d is provided on the outer periphery of the four side surfaces excluding the upper and lower bottom surfaces, and the concave portion 11f is formed on the inner side. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the 12 glass blocks 10 are arranged in 4 columns and 3 rows so that 12 of the glass blocks 10 are in contact with each other with a joint (not shown) at the rising portion 11d of the side plate 11b. These are joined together to form a single panel (glass block panel), which is fitted and fixed inside a rectangular aluminum frame 13 fixed to the opening of the outer wall 12 of the building. That is, the bottom plate 11a of the box 11 forming the glass block 10 constitutes a front plate or a rear plate of the panel, and the side plates 11b constitute vertical and horizontal bars of the panel.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-364117 discloses a glass block panel mounting structure in which a panel frame having an L-shaped cross section is fixed to the outer periphery of the panel, and this is fixed to an aluminum frame of an outer wall opening via a fixing bracket. Known by others. An outline thereof is shown in FIG. 1. Reference numeral 14 denotes a bonding agent, which is filled in a concave portion 11 f inside the rising portion 11 d of the side plate 11 b, and the adjacent glass blocks 10 are bonded to each other through the bonding agent 14. In addition, a square panel frame 15 made of a mold having an L-shaped cross section is fixed to the outer periphery of a glass block panel made of 12 glass blocks 10.
[0005]
On the other hand, a fixing bracket 17 having an L-shaped cross section is fixed to the aluminum frame 16 fixed to the opening of the outer wall with a bolt 18. Then, the glass block 10 is pushed into the aluminum frame 16 from the outdoor side (upper side in FIG. 1), the flange 15a of the panel frame 15 is pressed against the flange 17a of the fixing bracket 17, and both the flanges 15a and 17a are bolts 18. Combined with In addition, 19a is a backup material and 19b is a sealing material.
[0006]
However, since the conventional mounting structure fastens the bolts 18 at the back of the narrow joint portion between the glass block panel and the aluminum frame 16, the workability is poor and the joint width of the bolt 18 is reduced. It is necessary to make it wider than the head, and after adjusting the glass block panel inside the aluminum frame 16, it is necessary to make adjustments to make the joint widths of the four sides uniform. There is a problem in that it is necessary to attach various kinds of panel frames 15 having different sizes depending on the size and the number of glass blocks 10 used.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention eliminates the need for bolt tightening conventionally required when attaching a glass block panel to an aluminum frame or other frame, and can reduce the joint width between the frame and the panel. No joint width adjustment is required after fitting, and no panel frame is required, thus facilitating construction.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the glass block panel mounting structure according to the present invention, a glass block panel composed of a single unit or a plurality of joined units of glass blocks is fitted into a frame fixed to an opening of a building wall from one side in the thickness direction of the wall. In the mounting structure of the fixed glass block, the glass block has a frame-shaped rising portion along the outer periphery of each of the upper, lower, left, and right sides, and the panel touches the outer periphery of the panel in the pushing direction of the panel. A stopper for restricting the pushing position of the plate and a hook made of a leaf spring that is inclined forwardly from the inner surface of the frame with respect to the pushing direction of the panel, and when the panel is pushed into the frame, combined tip side stepped portion and the hook after the pushing direction front rising portion located on the outer periphery is engaged with reversal of the panel is restrained, and among the frame A leaf spring presser is juxtaposed in parallel with the leaf spring hook, and extends forward from the inner surface of the frame to the front of the front end of the hook, so that the surface of the rising edge in the pushing direction on the outer periphery of the glass block panel is provided. characterized in that the pressing to so that.
[0009]
In the glass block panel mounting structure, when the glass block panel is pushed into the frame from one side, the front surface of the glass block in the pushing direction of the glass block located on the outer periphery of the panel is fixed to the frame by a hook made of a leaf spring. Advance from the side while pressing the hook down. When the outer periphery of the front surface in the pushing direction of the panel reaches the stopper provided in the frame, the advancement of the panel is stopped, and at the same time, the tip of the leaf spring hook provided in the frame is detached from the surface of the rising portion in the pushing direction. The panel is hooked on the rear stepped portion, and the panel is locked to the hook, so that the retreat is stopped.
[0010]
That is, by pushing the glass block panel into the frame, the panel is fixed with one touch. Therefore, the conventional bolting and the panel frame are unnecessary, and therefore the joint width between the frame and the panel can be reduced. In addition, the inner and outer dimensions of the frame, the outer dimensions of the panel, and the placement of leaf spring hooks to the frame can automatically equalize the joint width on the top, bottom, left and right, greatly reducing the number of man-hours during construction and improving workability. To do. In the above frame, glass block and glass block panel, the shape of the front surface and the rear surface is not limited to a square shape, and can be any shape such as a circle, a triangle, a polygon, and the glass block is hollow. It is not limited and may be solid.
[0011]
When the leaf spring hook is attached to the frame, the arrangement thereof is arbitrary as long as the glass block panel can be fixed, and can be appropriately set according to the shape and size of the panel. For example, it may be arranged at each of the upper, lower, left and right parts of the frame, may be arranged at the other three parts except the lower part, or may be arranged only at the left and right side parts, but at least arranged at the left and right side parts In this case, by aligning the shape, size and number of hooks to be fixed to the left and right side portions, the left and right joint gaps can be made equal by the above-mentioned fitting. Instead, by fixing a support base having an appropriate height in advance, the joint gaps on all four sides can be made uniform.
[0012]
In the present invention, as described above, the frame is provided with a stopper that regulates the pushing position of the glass block panel, but this stopper may be in contact with the outer periphery of the front surface in the pushing direction of the panel through the sealing material. Preferably, in this case, after fixing by pushing the panel, the gap between the panel and the frame can be obtained simply by filling the gap between the opposite side of the panel, that is, the rear end in the pushing direction of the panel and the frame with an arbitrary sealant. The joint gap can be formed in the heat insulation space, and water can be prevented from entering the heat insulation space. In particular, when an elastic sealing material is used on the stopper side, the backlash of the glass block is stopped by elastically sandwiching the front rising portion of the glass block between the sealing material and the plate spring hook. In addition, the surface irregularities and undulations of the glass block can be absorbed, and airtightness and watertightness can be improved.
[0013]
The leaf spring hook used in the present invention can be made from a spring plate made of a spring metal such as spring steel, phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, or can be made by molding from a synthetic resin having elasticity such as nylon. it can. And, along with the leaf spring hook on the inner surface of the frame, preferably, a leaf spring presser is arranged in parallel on both sides, and this presser extends forward from the inner surface of the frame to the front of the hook and extends to the outer periphery of the panel. It can form so that the surface of the pushing direction front side rising part may be pressed. In this case, the force for supporting the glass block panel increases. The plate spring hooks and the plate spring pressers on both sides are made by processing a single spring plate or by molding from a synthetic resin.
[0014]
