Description

  The present invention relates to an upper panel unit that is advantageous when a vertical frame rises up to a ceiling surface and a door frame on which an upper panel is attached on the upper side of a door is installed in a wall surface opening.

  Normally, when installing the door frame, the upper frame is attached in advance to the upper ends of the pair of left and right vertical frames on the floor, and the assembled door frame is raised and fitted into the wall opening and fixed. It is common to install, but in the case of a door frame in which the vertical frame rises to the ceiling surface, if the upper frame is attached in advance to the upper ends of the pair of left and right vertical frames, the assembled door frame will be raised In this case, there is a problem that the door frame contacts the ceiling surface and the ceiling surface is damaged.

  Therefore, when installing a door frame in which the vertical frame rises to the ceiling surface, first temporarily fix each vertical frame to the side surface of the wall surface opening, and then position the upper frame on the upper surface of the wall surface opening. The vertical frame is fixed to the both sides of the upper frame, and the vertical frame is fixed to the side surface of the wall opening while adjusting the vertical frame to be vertical.

  After that, attach a horizontal beam connected to both vertical frames at a position slightly above the upper edge of the door, attach the vertical beam connected to this horizontal beam to both vertical frames, and use the horizontal beam connected to both vertical frames as the upper frame The upper panel is formed by attaching and fixing a pair of decorative plates to the vertical beam and the horizontal beam so as to sandwich the vertical beam and the horizontal beam.

  However, as described above, when assembling the door frame within the wall surface opening, it is difficult for the upper frame and the vertical frame to form a right angle, and it takes time to adjust the position of the vertical frame. Forming work is also troublesome, and there is a problem that the door frame to which the upper panel is attached cannot be installed efficiently.

  Further, when the door frame has a large opening width, that is, when the upper frame is long, the upper frame is easily bent. Therefore, even if the upper frame is screwed to the upper surface of the wall surface opening, There is also a problem that unevenness is likely to occur and a gap is generated between the upper panel and the upper panel formed thereafter.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily and accurately install a door frame to which a top panel is attached and which stands up to a ceiling surface.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 includes a pair of left and right vertical frames rising up to the ceiling surface and a portion directly above the door attached to a door frame having an upper frame connecting both vertical frames at the upper end thereof. An upper panel attached to the upper portion of the door frame for partitioning is formed on the lower surface of the upper frame, which is a component of the door frame , before the upper ends of the vertical frames are connected to each other by the upper frame. An upper panel unit is provided which is pre-attached.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the upper panel unit of the first aspect of the present invention, the upper panel has a transparent or translucent window.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the upper panel unit of the first or second aspect of the present invention, a connecting pin attached to a vertical frame constituting the door frame is provided at both ends of the upper frame. A pulling metal fitting for connecting the upper frame to the vertical frame by being engaged is attached.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the upper panel unit of the first or second aspect of the present invention, a connecting pin attached to a vertical frame constituting the door frame is provided at both ends of the upper frame. By engaging, a pulling metal fitting for connecting the upper frame to the vertical frame is attached in a state where the vertical frame is attracted.

As described above, in the upper panel unit according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the upper panel attached to the upper part of the door frame and the upper frame that is a component of the door frame are connected to each other between the upper ends of both vertical frames. Since it is integrated in advance at the stage before connecting with the upper frame, when connecting the upper frame and the vertical frame, the upper panel attached to the lower surface of the upper frame serves as a construction ruler, and the vertical frame Is brought into contact with both end faces of the upper panel, the right angle between the upper frame and the vertical frame can be easily obtained, and the position of the vertical frame can be easily adjusted.

In addition, since the upper panel is attached to the upper frame in advance before the upper ends of the vertical frames are connected to each other by the upper frame , a pier is attached to the assembled door frame as before. The operation of forming the upper panel, such as attaching a decorative panel, is not required, and the door frame, which is attached to the upper panel and rises to the ceiling surface, can be installed efficiently in a short time.

In addition, since the upper panel is attached to the upper frame at the stage before the upper ends of both vertical frames are connected to each other by the upper frame , the upper frame bends even when the length of the upper frame is long. With the upper frame fixed to the upper surface of the wall opening, the upper frame is less likely to be uneven, so the door frame can be assembled with high accuracy and a gap is formed between the upper frame and the upper panel. It is never done.

  The upper panel unit of the invention according to claim 3 connects the upper frame to the vertical frame by engaging both ends of the upper frame with connecting pins attached to the vertical frame constituting the door frame. As the door frame is assembled inside the wall opening, after the vertical frame is temporarily fixed to both sides of the wall opening, the connecting pins attached to the vertical frame can be attached to the upper frame. The pair of left and right vertical frames and the upper frame are immediately connected to each other by engaging with the single pulling metal fitting. Therefore, just by adjusting the vertical of the vertical frame, the connecting part of the upper frame and the vertical frame becomes a right angle, and the upper frame can be fixed while visually checking the level, and there is no need to measure the dimensions. Workability is good.

  Further, the upper panel unit of the invention according to claim 4 is configured such that the pull frame attached to the upper frame engages with the connecting pin attached to the vertical frame so that the vertical frame is attracted. Since it is designed to be connected to the frame, the connecting part between the upper frame and the vertical frame becomes a right angle simply by connecting the upper frame and the vertical frame with this pulling bracket, and the upper frame and the vertical frame are connected. Compared to the upper panel unit of the invention according to claim 3 that employs only a single metal fitting, construction workability is further improved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 2A and 2B show a state in which the door D is attached to the door frame 10 rising up to the ceiling surface. The door frame 10 is composed of a pair of left and right vertical frames 11 and 11 that rise up to the ceiling surface, and an upper frame 12 that connects the vertical frames 11 and 11 at the upper end thereof. The upper panel 20 that partitions the space above the door D is attached. The vertical frames 11, 11, the upper frame 12, and the upper panel 20 are made of a wood material, and the doors 13, 13 formed of synthetic resin or the like are attached to the vertical frames 11, 11. .

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the upper panel 20 is supplied together with a pair of vertical frames 11 and 11 as an upper panel unit 1 that is attached in advance to the upper frame 12 constituting the door frame 10. The upper panel 20 is screwed to the lower surface of one end side of the upper frame 12 in the short direction.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the upper frame 12 is cut at both corners in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface side. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the side edge surface 12a of the cut portion is cut off. The upper frame 12 is connected to the vertical frame 11 while the vertical frame 11 is attracted by engaging the large-diameter heads 31a, 31a of the two connection pins 31, 31 attached to the vertical frame 11. A pulling metal fitting 32 is attached.

  The surface of the pulling metal fitting 32 that engages with the large-diameter heads 31a, 31a of the connection pins 31, 31 gradually approaches the attachment surface side of the metal fitting in the entry direction of the connection pins 31, 31. Further, the engaging portions 32a and 32a are inclined, and the vertical frame 11 is attracted to the upper frame 12 side as the connecting pins 31 and 31 enter the engaging portions 32a and 32a.

  The door frame 10 configured as described above is assembled as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), a pair of left and right vertical frames 11, 11 are temporarily fixed to vertical piers 51, 51 forming wall surface openings with wood screws, and then FIG. As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the two connecting pins 31, 31 attached to the vertical frame 11 are engaged with the pulling metal fitting 32 attached to the upper frame 12 of the upper panel 20, as shown in FIG. ), The upper ends of the pair of left and right vertical frames 11, 11 are connected to each other by the upper panel unit 1 (upper frame 12).

  In this state, the upper and lower ends of the pair of left and right vertical frames 11, 11 are pulled toward the upper panel 20 side by engaging the connecting pins 31, 31 attached to the vertical frame 11 with the pulling bracket 32. Since not only both side end surfaces of the upper frame 12 constituting the panel unit 1 but also both side end surfaces of the upper panel 20 are in contact with the inner side surfaces of the vertical frames 11, 11, the upper frame 12, the vertical frame 11, 11 has a right angle, and it is difficult to form a gap between the vertical frames 11 and 11 and the upper frame 12.

  Subsequently, while appropriately inserting a gap adjusting member between the vertical crosspieces 51 and 51 constituting the wall opening and the vertical frames 11 and 11 so that the vertical frames 11 and 11 are vertical, the vertical frame 11 , 11 is adjusted and the vertical frames 11, 11 are permanently fixed to the vertical bars 51, 51 with nails or wood screws. However, as described above, the right angle between the upper frame 12 and the vertical frames 11, 11 is maintained. Therefore, the position adjustment of the vertical frames 11 and 11 can be performed easily.

  Finally, the position adjustment of the upper frame 12 is performed by appropriately inserting a gap adjusting member between the horizontal frame 52 constituting the wall opening and the upper frame 12 while visually checking the level of the upper frame 12. The upper frame 12 is fixed to the horizontal crosspiece 52 with nails or wood screws. However, since the upper panel 20 is attached to the lower surface of the upper frame 12 in advance, the upper frame 12 is not easily bent, and the upper frame 12 Since the upper frame 12 is less likely to be uneven when fixed to the horizontal pier 52, the door frame 10 can be assembled with high accuracy and a gap is formed between the upper frame 12 and the upper panel 20. There is nothing. The door stops 13 and 13 are attached to the vertical frames 11 and 11 immediately before the door D is attached to the door frame 10.

  FIGS. 9 to 10 (a) and 10 (b) show a state in which the door D is attached to the door frame 10A assembled using the upper panel unit 1A according to another embodiment shown in FIGS. ing. Since this door frame 10A also basically has the same configuration as that of the door frame 10 described above, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and the upper panel unit 1A which is a different component is described. This will be described in detail.

  The upper panel unit 1A includes an upper frame 12A, an upper panel 20A attached to one end of the upper frame 12A in the short direction, and a door closer DC attached to the lower end of the upper panel 20A. The upper panel 20A has a transparent or translucent window portion.

  The upper panel 20A is composed of a window lower frame 21 made of a wood material, and a pair of left and right window vertical frames 22 and 22 made of an aluminum molded body that connect the window lower frame 21 and the upper frame 12A at both ends. And a transparent or translucent plastic plate 23 held by these frame members by inserting the peripheral edge into grooves formed in the window lower frame 21, the pair of left and right window vertical frames 22 and the upper frame 12A. The pair of left and right window vertical frames 22 and 22 is configured such that the upper end portion and the lower end portion thereof are fitted into engraved portions formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the upper frame 12A and the window lower frame 21, respectively. And it is screwed to the engraved part.

  As in the upper frame 12 of the upper panel unit 1 described above, the upper frame 12A is also cut at both corners in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface side, and on the side end surface 12Aa of this cutout portion, as shown in FIG. 15 (a) and 15 (b), the vertical frame 11 is attracted by engaging the large-diameter heads 31a and 31a of the two connecting pins 31 and 31 attached to the vertical frame 11. In this state, a pulling metal fitting 32A for connecting the upper frame 12A to the vertical frame 11 is attached. Since a pair of left and right window vertical frames 22 and 22 are fixed to both ends of the upper frame 12A, In order not to overhang the attachment region of the window vertical frames 22 and 22, the pulling metal fitting 32A employs the engagement portions 32Aa and 32Aa that are close to each other.

  The mounting bar 40 is made of a wood material similar to the window lower frame 21 and is attached to the window lower frame 21 of the upper panel 20A. The door closer DC is attached to the lower surface of the mounting bar 40, and the door closer DC attached to the mounting bar 40 is attached to the upper end portion of the door D so that the striker attached to the upper end portion of the door D can be received. It overhangs to the corresponding height position.

  When the door frame 10A is assembled and installed using the upper panel unit 1A configured as described above, it can be performed in the same manner as the door frame 10 described above, and is the same as when the upper panel unit 1 is used. The effect of can be obtained.

  In the upper panel unit 1A described above, the mounting bar 40 for attaching the door closer DC to the upper panel 20A is attached. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the door closer DC is not attached, the upper panel 20A is attached to the upper panel 20A. Needless to say, it is not necessary to attach the mounting bar 40.

  In addition, in embodiment mentioned above, although the window vertical frames 22 and 22 which consist of an aluminum molded object are employ | adopted, it is not limited to this, It is also possible to form with a wood material. However, considering the strength, it is desirable to adopt a window vertical frame made of an aluminum molded body.

  In the above-described embodiment, the window portion of the upper panel 20A is formed by the transparent or translucent plastic plate 23. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a transparent or translucent glass plate is employed. Is also possible.

  Moreover, in each embodiment mentioned above, although the independent metal fittings 32 and 32A which have the drawing function of the vertical frame 11 are employ | adopted, it is not limited to this, For example, Fig.16 (a), (b) ), The engaging portions 32Ba, 32Ba, the engaging portions 32Ca, 32Ca are not inclined, and the pulling brackets 32B, 32C that do not have the pulling function of the vertical frame 11 may be employed. It is.

  As described above, when adopting the pulling brackets 32B and 32C that do not have the pulling function of the vertical frame 11, the pulling brackets 32 and 32A having the pulling function of the vertical frame 11 are employed as well. Since the vertical frames 11, 11 and the upper frame 12 can be connected in advance, after temporarily fixing each vertical frame individually to the side surface of the wall surface opening as in the prior art, the upper frame is mounted on the wall surface opening portion. It is not necessary to fix and install the upper frame 12, 12A on the upper surface of the wall, and when the upper frame 12, 12A is fixed to the horizontal pier 52 constituting the wall surface opening, the horizontal opening of the upper frame 12 is visually confirmed. Since the position adjustment of the upper frame 12 can be performed by appropriately inserting a gap adjusting member between the horizontal crosspiece 52 and the upper frame 12 constituting the part, the position adjustment of the upper frames 12 and 12A can be easily performed. Can be done.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the pulling brackets 32 and 32A are attached to both ends of the upper frames 12 and 12A, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pulling brackets can be omitted. . However, when using the upper panel unit that does not attach the independent metal fittings to the upper frame, when using the upper panel units 1 and 1A in which the individual metal fittings 32 and 32A are attached to the upper frames 12 and 12A, The frame assembly and installation method is different. Hereinafter, a method for assembling and installing the door frame in the case of using the upper panel unit in which the independent metal fitting is not attached to the upper frame will be briefly described.

  First, after temporarily fixing a pair of left and right vertical frames to the vertical pier that forms the wall opening, the upper panel unit is fixedly installed on the horizontal pier that forms the wall opening while positioning the upper frame. After connecting each vertical frame to both ends of the upper panel unit, the vertical frame is fixedly installed on the vertical pier of the wall surface opening while adjusting the vertical frame to be vertical.

  As described above, in a state where the vertical frame is connected to the upper panel unit, not only both side end surfaces of the upper frame constituting the upper panel unit but also both side end surfaces of the upper panel abut on the inner side surface of the vertical frame. Therefore, since the upper panel serves as a construction ruler, the right angle between the upper frame and the vertical frame can be easily obtained, and the position adjustment of the vertical frame performed thereafter can be easily performed.

  In addition, as in the case of using the upper panel units 1 and 1A described above, the upper panel is attached to the lower surface of the upper frame in advance, so that the upper frame is not easily bent and the upper frame is fixed to the horizontal crosspiece. Since the upper frame is less likely to be uneven, it is needless to say that the door frame can be assembled with high accuracy and that no gap is formed between the upper frame and the upper panel.

  The upper panel unit of the present invention can be used when a vertical frame rises to the ceiling surface and a door frame to which the upper panel is attached on the upper side of the door is installed at the wall surface opening.
