In a reinforcing structure for reinforcing a vertical frame member made of aluminum material and constituting a sash frame by attaching thereto a reinforcing member made of steel, the reinforcing member is an elongated member composed of an indoor side piece, an outdoor side piece and a connection piece. The vertical frame member comprises an indoor side vertical plate member, an outdoor side vertical plate member and a connection plate member. The indoor side vertical plate member has an end portion which is bent to form an indoor side recessed portion continuously extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, and the outdoor side vertical plate member has an end portion which is bent to form an outdoor side recessed portion continuously extending in the longitudinal direction thereof. The reinforcing member is attached to the vertical frame member in the manner that the indoor side, outdoor side and connection pieces of the reinforcing member respectively face the indoor side vertical, outdoor side vertical and connection plate members of the vertical frame member, and that end portions of the indoor side and outdoor side pieces of the reinforcing member are respectively inserted in the indoor side and outdoor side recessed portions of the vertical frame member.

Reinforcing structure for vertical frame member of sash frame

An extrusion molded aluminum elongated vertical frame element for constituting a door or window leaf of a hinged door or window comprises first and second vertical plates respectively providing a surface substantively parallel to a door or window face direction and third and fourth vertical plates respectively providing a surface substantively parallel to a door or window thickness direction, thereby having a hollow structure and a substantively rectangular cross section. The fourth vertical plate is provided with an cutout opening. A reinforcing member made of steel, a spacer made of steel and a cremorne lock having a lock body is inserted in the hollow structure of the vertical frame element. The reinforcing member is placed and fixed to the side of the third vertical plate within the hollow structure of the vertical frame element, the spacer is made to abut against the reinforcing member, and the lock body of the cremorne lock is, on one hand, made to abut against the spacer and on the other hand engaged in the cutout opening of the fourth vertical plate. The lock body of the cremorne lock is fixed to the reinforcing member by bolts with the spacer interposed therebetween.

Structure for mounting cremorne lock and reinforcing member in vertical

A structure for mounting a panel in a panel mounting frame to form a door, window, or the like comprises bilateral vertical frame elements, an upper transverse frame element and a lower transverse frame element assembled to form a quadrangular panel mounting frame. Each of the bilateral vertical frame elements has a recessed groove and a receiving means. A first bead member is attached to each of the vertical frame elements by an attachment means inserted in the recessed groove. A second bead member is also attached to each of the vertical frame elements by an engaging means engaged with a receiving means. A panel is mounted so that each of its bilateral vertical edge portions is disposed between the first bead member and the second bead member.

In a sash frame structure for attaching a glass in which a glass is supported in glass attachment channels formed to respective frame members constituting a sash frame by first side seal members and second side seal members disposed on the opposite sides of the glass, the glass is so provided as not to be scattered in pieces even if it is broken. A seal member fitting groove is formed to each of the frame members adjacently to the glass attachment channel, and an engaging portion is formed to the inner surface of the glass attachment channel on the side adjacent to the seal member fitting groove. One of the first side seal member and the second side seal member is a shaped seal gasket having a sealing portion and a fitting portion integrally formed with each other, and the sealing portion is adapted to be forced to be fitted in a space between the glass and the inner surface of the glass attachment channel and engaged on the engaging portion while the fitting portion is adapted to is fitted in the seal member fitting groove.

Sash frame structure for attaching glass

In a double door assembly in which first and second doors are respectively mounted to bilateral vertical frame members of a door frame in the manner that each door can swing both to the indoor side and to the outdoor side for its opening and closing, a structure of mating portions of the doors comprises a first mating frame element constituting the first door and providing a first mating surface, a second mating frame element constituting the second door and providing a second mating surface, a first mating seal member attached to the first mating surface to project toward the second mating surface and a second mating seal member attached to the second mating surface to the indoor side relative to the first mating seal member to project toward the first mating surface. The first mating seal member is adapted to contact the second mating surface when the first and second doors are closed while the second mating seal member is adapted to be apart from the first mating surface when the first and second doors are closed.

Structure of mating portions of double door assembly

In a structure for attaching a lower transverse frame member of a sash in which an elongated attachment transverse member is attached to a lower edge portion of an opening of a building body and a lower transverse frame member constituting a sash frame is attached to said attachment transverse member, the attachment transverse member has a hollow structure formed on the outdoor side portion thereof, and the hollow structure has a drain port opening to the outdoor side. Each of fixing members for fixing the lower transverse frame member to the attachment transverse member is so arranged that the front end thereof projects into the hollow structure.
