Description

  The present invention relates to a glass panel device, and more particularly to a glass panel device that can be constructed in the same manner as a normal partition device.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of glass panel devices are provided in which a glass plate is attached via a frame member over each of a front surface side and a back surface side of a pair of support columns erected at a predetermined interval. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an attachment structure for attaching a frame member that covers an edge of a glass plate in a partition device to the edge of the glass plate, and the frame member is one of a front piece and a back piece. The end portions of the glass plate are substantially U-shaped in cross-section, and the back piece is provided with a locking hole, and the edge of the glass plate is inserted between the front piece and the back piece. Sandwiched elastically, and a through hole was formed in the glass plate at a position aligned with the locking hole, and a locking member was inserted into the locking hole and the through hole, and formed on the back piece. A structure is disclosed in which a latching claw of a latching fitting is inserted into a mounting hole in a retaining state, and the latching fixture is latched in a latching hole formed on both front and rear surfaces of a support column.

  However, the structure described in Patent Document 1 described above is insufficient in supporting strength simply by elastically sandwiching the front and back pieces having substantially the same width in order to hold the edge of the glass plate. Therefore, a plurality of through holes are formed around the glass plate, and the locking members are inserted into the through holes and the locking holes in the back piece of the frame member. However, a plurality of through holes are formed in the glass plate. Not only is the processing expensive, but the front piece is the same width as the back piece and is wide, so the front piece is supposed to impair the appearance.

Usually, a panel contractor carries a column or frame member to the construction site, a glass vendor carries a glass plate, cuts the glass plate to a predetermined size at the construction site, and cuts the column or frame member. After part processing, the work of attaching a frame member around the glass plate and attaching it to the support column was performed. In addition, in order to place importance on the visibility as a glass panel device, the front piece of the frame member should be sufficiently narrower than the back piece, and the back piece and the back of the edge of the glass plate to increase the support strength Were attached with double-sided adhesive tape. However, since the adhesive surface by the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is visible from the front through the glass plate, if the air bubbles enter the bonding surface during the bonding operation, the appearance is impaired, and this operation requires labor. Further, since the glass plate is very heavy and has a risk of cracking, it cannot be handled by a normal panel builder, and the work by the glass builder is inevitably necessary, which is very expensive.

  Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention intends to solve the problem that the glass plate can be handled easily by a panel contractor by realizing the same ease of handling as a normal steel panel plate. At the same time, the glass panel device can be easily attached to the column, has a high support strength for the glass plate, and has a good appearance.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a glass panel device in which a glass plate is attached via a frame member over each of a front surface side and a back surface side of a pair of support columns erected at a predetermined interval. In addition, before attaching the glass plate to the support column, it is fitted and attached to the holding grooves of the vertical frame member and the horizontal frame member respectively on both side edges and the upper and lower edges of the glass plate cut in advance to a predetermined size. A vertical frame member and a horizontal frame member are connected to each other at a corner portion to form a glass panel body in which the periphery of the glass plate is protected by a frame body, and the vertical frame member is outside the back plate that is joined to the back surface of the glass plate. A side plate corresponding to a side end surface of the glass plate and a front piece extending inward in parallel to the back plate from the front edge of the side plate are formed on the edge, and the side of the glass plate is formed by the back plate, the side plate, and the front piece. A holding groove that fits the edge is formed and extends from the inner edge of the back plate to the back side. The inner plate is formed, the mounting plate is extended to form a space between said backing plate to the outside of the inner plate, attached to a glass panel body to the strut by using a mounting hole provided in the mounting plate A glass panel device was constructed (claim 1).

And while adhering or adhering the side end surface of the glass plate and the groove bottom surface of the holding groove of the vertical frame member with a double-sided adhesive tape, the glass plate is attached to the buffer member disposed in the holding groove of the horizontal frame member below. More preferably, it is placed ( Claim 2 ).

Furthermore, it is preferable that the lateral width of the table pieces of the vertical frame member set narrower than the width of the back plate (claim 3).

In the glass panel device of the invention according to claim 1 as described above, by attaching a frame member around the glass plate in advance in a factory, the periphery of the glass plate is made into a glass panel body protected by a frame body. Since the glass plate can be handled in the same manner as a normal panel, and therefore can be handled easily by a panel installer, the mounting work to the column becomes easy. Moreover, since the edge part during conveyance of a glass plate can be protected, it contributes greatly to cost reduction. In addition, the support of the side edge of the panel plate is reliable, and the thickness of the side edge of the glass panel body with the vertical frame member attached to the side edge of the panel plate is equivalent to that of a normal steel panel plate In addition, the mounting holes used for mounting to the column are the same as the normal steel panel plate, and therefore can be mounted to the column in the same manner using similar locking tools. The workability can be improved.

According to claim 2 , the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is completely invisible from the surface side by adhering or adhering the side end surface of the glass plate and the groove bottom surface of the holding groove of the vertical frame member with the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. It is not necessary to be conscious of the finish such as elimination of the sheet, so that the assembling work becomes very easy, and the decrease in the supporting strength due to the phenomenon of the adhesive area or the adhesive area due to the double-sided adhesive tape is the holding of the horizontal frame member below. In addition to being sufficiently supplemented by placing a glass plate on the buffer member disposed in the groove, it was possible to increase the support strength as compared with the support using only the double-sided adhesive tape.

According to claim 3 , since the width of the front piece of the vertical frame member is set to be narrower than the width of the back plate, there is only a front piece having a narrow width at both side edges of the glass plate, as viewed from the front side. In addition, since the double-sided adhesive tape is not visible, the appearance can be improved, and the width of the non-glass plate part at the joint is reduced even when multiple glass plates are mounted on the left and right sides. It is possible to increase the value of the product and give a sense of quality.
