BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0077] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention relating to a door frame structure and a method for mounting the door frame structure are described with reference to the drawings for understanding of the present invention. In each drawing, for convenience of description, in a state where a door frame structure is installed on a floor surface, an upward direction of the door frame structure from the floor surface is defined as a vertical direction, and a longer direction of the door frame structure perpendicular to the upward direction is defined as a horizontal direction.

[0078] First, FIG. 1 depicts an exploded view of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the door frame structure 1 includes an inner frame body 2 (first frame body described in claims) and an outer frame body 3 (second frame body described in claims). The inner frame body 2 includes a pair of first frame members 2a and 2b extending in the vertical direction and a second frame member 2c that joins one end of each of the first frame members 2a and 2b and extends in the horizontal direction, and the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c are fixed by welding, adhesion, fitting, or other known fixing means, respectively.

[0079] Here, the inner frame body 2 does not necessarily have to be divisionally constructed of the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c, respectively, and these frame members may be constructed integrally. However, divisional construction makes transportation, assembling, and disassembling easy, and also enables reuse, so that divisional construction is more preferable.

[0080] In addition, each of the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c has a first groove portion 7 recessed in an outer periphery thereof so as to have a substantially half-split sectional shape.

[0081] Further, in the first groove portion 1, a first reinforcing member 9 (not shown in FIG. 1) described later is installed so as to be slidable in the first groove portion 7.

[0082] Similarly, the outer frame body 3 includes a pair of third frame members 3a and 3b extending in the vertical direction, and a fourth frame member 3c that joins one end of each of the third frame members 3a and 3b and extends in the horizontal direction, and the third frame members 3a and 3b and the fourth frame member 3c are fixed by welding, adhesion, fitting, or other known fixing means, respectively,

[0083] Here, the outer frame body 3 does not necessarily have to be divisionally constructed of the third frame members 3a and 3b and the fourth frame member 3c, respectively, and these frame members may be constructed integrally. However, divisional construction makes transportation, assembling, and disassembling easy, and also enables reuse, so that divisional construction is more preferable.

[0084] In addition, each of the third frame members 3a and 3b and the fourth frame member 3c has a second groove portion 8 recessed in an outer periphery thereof so as to have a substantially half-split sectional shape.

[0085] Further, in the second groove portion 8, a second reinforcing member 10 (not shown in FIG. 1) described later is installed.

[0086] In a wall 4, a wall opening 5 Is formed, and a pair of post members 6a and 6b extending in the vertical direction along an inner periphery of the wall 4 and a beam member 6c extending in the horizontal direction are embedded in the wall 4. In such a state, into the wall opening 5, the inner frame body 2 is fitted from one side of the wall opening 5 and the outer frame body 3 is fitted from the other side. At this time, the post members 6a and 6b and the beam member 6c only come into contact with the door frame structure 1, and as described later, they are partially Indirectly fixed to each other via mounting angles 11.

[0087] Here, the post members 6a and 6b and the beam member 6c do not necessarily have to be indirectly fixed to the door frame structure 1, and the post members 6a and 6b and the beam member 6c may be directly fixed to the door frame structure 1 by welding or the like. However, by indirectly fixing the post members 6a and 6b and the beam member 6c to the door frame structure 1, even if relative story displacement of the wall 4 occurs due to oscillation in the event of an earthquake, without following displacement of the wall 4, displacement amount of the door frame structure 1 can be minimized. Therefore, it is more preferable that the post members 6a and 6b and the beam member 6c are indirectly fixed to the door frame structure 1.

[0088] Around the door frame structure 1 mounted to the wall surface 4 by being fitted in the wall opening 5, as shown in FIG. 2, the first reinforcing members 9 and second reinforcing members 10 are provided, and a door 31 enabled to freely open and close by hinges 32 attached to two positions is held.

[0089] Here, the hinges 32 do not necessarily have to be provided at two positions, and the number of hinges may be properly changed according to the size of the door 31.

[0090] As the inner frame body 2, as shown in FIG. 3, a frame body being jamb inverted U-shaped as a whole is formed by laying the second frame member 2c across upper ends of the pair of left and right first frame members 2a and 2b, and the first groove portions 7 are connected to be along the vertical directions of the first frame members 2a and 2b and the horizontal direction of the second frame member 2c.

[0091] Here, the inner frame body 2 does not necessarily have to be formed as an inverted U-shaped jamb. For example, the inner frame body 2 may be substantially H-shaped by laying the second frame member 2c across positions slightly lower than the upper ends of the first frame members 2a and 2b. Further, it is also possible that another frame member is laid on the floor surface F side (lower end sides of the first frame members 2a and 2b) to form a rectangular frame as a whole.

[0092] In the first groove portions 7, the first reinforcing members 9 substantially matching sectional shapes of the first groove portions 7 are installed like longitudinal ribs across the first groove portions 7 so as to be slidable in the vertical directions of the first frame members 2a and 2b and the horizontal direction of the second frame member 2c. Equal numbers among 2 to 15 of the first reinforcing members 9 are respectively installed on the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c, and on the inner frame body 2, 6 to 45 in total of first reinforcing members 9 are installed. In addition, the first reinforcing member 9 is mounted to the wall opening 5 not shown in FIG. 3 via a mounting angle 11 described later.

[0093] Here, the numbers of first reinforcing members 9 installed on the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c, respectively, do not necessarily have to be equal to each other. For example, the number of first reinforcing members 9 to be installed on each of the first frame members 2a and 2b may be set smaller than that installed on the second frame member 2c, or vice versa. However, from the viewpoint of minimizing displacement in the horizontal direction in the event of an earthquake, the rigidity balance of the whole inner frame body 2 must be ensured, so that it is preferable that in consideration of lengths, etc., of the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c, the disposition balance of the first reinforcing members 9 to be installed is properly changed.

[0094] In addition, the number of first reinforcing members 9 does not necessarily have to be 2 to 15 per frame member. The number can be properly changed in consideration of the sire and required rigidity, etc., of the whole inner frame body 2.

[0095] Next, a detailed shape of the first reinforcing member 9 is described with reference to FIG. 4. The first reinforcing member 9 has a first contact surface 12 and a second contact surface 13 that are formed by folding, and a first joint plate 14 joining these first contact surface 12 and second contact surface 13. The first joint plate 14 is a flat plate with a plate thickness of approximately 1 to 2 mm, and has a whole shape that can be fitted in the first groove portion 7 formed on the inner frame body 2 as shown in FIG. 4(e), and is properly changeable according to the shape of the first groove portion 7.

[0096] In addition, in a predetermined range of the first joint plate 14, first projections 15 are formed by drawing. Drawing is applied to a 30-70% area of the first joint plate 14.

[0097] Here, the range in which the projections 15 are formed does not necessarily have to be set to a 30-70% area of the first joint plate 14. However, as a result of repeated experiments conducted by the inventor, when the area was smaller than 30%, rigidity could not be greatly improved, and when the area was larger than 70%, processability was deteriorated. Therefore, it was found that by setting the area to 30-70%, preferably, to 50-70%, an optimal balance between processability and rigidity is obtained.

[0098] The first contact surface 12 is brought into contact with one side wall 16a of the first groove portion 7, and the second contact surface 13 is brought into contact with one end of the mounting angle 11 described later to be mounted to the wall 4.

[0099] Here, the first reinforcing member 9 does not necessarily have to have the first contact surface 12. However, when the first reinforcing member 9 has the first contact surface 12, even if a predetermined or greater force is applied to the first reinforcing member 9 in the event of an earthquake, etc., the force applied to the first reinforcing member 9 can be dispersed through the first contact surface 12, and the first reinforcing member 9 can be prevented from fracturing in advance.

[0100] In addition, the first contact surface 12 does not necessarily have to be in contact with the side wall 16a of the first groove portion 7. For example, it is also possible that a predetermined space is provided between the first contact surface 12 and the side wall 16a of the first groove portion 7, and they come into contact with each other only when the first reinforcing member 9 is subjected to a force and displaced inside the first groove portion 7.

[0101] To L-shape-folded portions from which the first contact surface 12 and the second contact surface 13 are formed, triangular ribs 17 for securing strength are attached.

[0102] Here, the triangular ribs 17 do not necessarily have to be provided. However, fragile root portions of the L shapes can be reinforced by the triangular ribs 17.

[0103] Next, as the outer frame body 3, as shown in FIG. 5, a jamb that is inverted U-shaped as a whole is formed by laying the third frame member 3c across upper ends of the pair of left and right third frame members 3a and 3b, and the second groove portions 8 are connected to be along the vertical directions of the third frame members 3a and 3b and the horizontal direction of the fourth frame member 3c.

[0104] Here, the outer frame member 3 does not necessarily have to be formed into an inverted U-shaped jamb. For example, the outer frame body 3 may be substantially H-shaped by laying the fourth frame member 3c across portions slightly lower than the upper ends of the third frame members 3a and 3b. Further, it, is also possible that another frame member is laid on the floor surface F side (lower end sides of the third frame members 3a and 3b) to form a frame body that is rectangular as a whole.

[0105] In the second groove portions 8, second reinforcing members 10 substantially matching sectional shapes of the second groove portions 8 are installed like longitudinal ribs across the second groove portions 8. Equal numbers among 2 to 15 of the second reinforcing members 10 are respectively installed on the third frame members 3a and 3b and the fourth frame member 3c, and 6 to 45 second reinforcing members 10 in total are installed on the outer frame body 3.

[0106] Here, the numbers of second reinforcing members 10 installed on the third frame members 3a and 3b and the fourth frame member 3c, respectively, do not necessarily have to be equal to each other. For example, the number of second reinforcing members 10 to be installed on each of the third frame members 3a and 3b may be set to be smaller than that on the fourth frame member 3c, or vice versa. However, from the viewpoint of minimizing displacement in the horizontal direction in the event of an earthquake, the rigidity balance of the whole outer frame body 3 must be ensured, so that it is preferable that in consideration of the lengths, etc., of the third frame members 3a and 3b and the fourth frame member 3c, the disposition balance of the second reinforcing members 10 to be installed is properly changed.

[0107] The number of second reinforcing members 10 does not necessarily have to be 2 to 15 per frame member. The number can be properly changed in consideration of the size and required rigidity, etc., of the whole outer frame body 3.

[0108] Next, a detailed shape of the second reinforcing member 10 is described with reference to FIG. 6. The second reinforcing member 10 has a third contact surface 18 and a fourth contact surface 19 formed By folding, and a second joint plate 20 joining these third contact surface 18 and fourth contact surface 19. The second joint plate 20 is a flat plate with a plate thickness of 1 to 2 mm, and has a whole shape that can be fitted in the second groove portion 8 formed on the outer frame body 3 as shown in FIG. 6(e), and is properly changeable according to the shape of the second groove portion 8.

[0109] In a predetermined range of the second joint plate 20, a second projection 21 is formed by drawing. Drawing is applied to a 30-70% area of the second joint plate 20.

[0110] Here, the range in which the projection 21 is formed does not necessarily have to be set to a 30-70% area of the second joint plate 20. However, as a result of repeated experiments conducted by the inventor, if the area was smaller than 30%, rigidity could not be greatly improved, and if the area was larger than 70%, processability was deteriorated. Therefore, it was found that by setting the area to 30-70%, preferably, to 50-70%, an optimal balance between processability and rigidity is obtained.

[0111] The third contact surface 18 and the fourth contact surface 19 are brought into contact with side walls 22a and 22b of the second groove portion 8, and near the third contact surface 18, a notched portion 30 is formed so that a part of the second joint plate 20 comes into contact with a part of the inner frame body 2 when the inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 are coupled in a state where they face each other. Further, the fourth contact surface 19 is screwed and fixed to the side wall 22b of the second groove portion 8. As shown in the figure drawings, near may mean adjacent to in describing features of the present invention.

[0112] Here, the second reinforcing member 10 does not necessarily have to have the third contact surface 18 and the fourth contact surface 19. However, when the second reinforcing member has the third contact surface 18 and the fourth contact surface 19, the second reinforcing member 10 is firmly fixed in the second groove portion 8. Further, even if a predetermined or greater force is applied to the second reinforcing member 10 in the event of an earthquake, etc., the force applied to the second reinforcing member 10 can be dispersed through the third contact surface 18 and the fourth contact surface 19, and the second reinforcing member 10 can be prevented from fracturing in advance.

[0113] In addition, the second reinforcing member 10 does not necessarily have to have the notched portion 30. However, when the second reinforcing member 10 has the notched portion 30, frictional resistance between the notched portion 30 and the inner frame body 2 increases, so that the inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 are more firmly joined together.

[0114] In addition, the second reinforcing member 10 does not necessarily have to be fixed to the second groove portion 8.

[0115] For example, it is also possible that the third contact surface 18 and the fourth contact surface 19 are only in contact with the side walls 22a and 22b of the second groove portion 8, respectively. However, by fixing the second reinforcing member 10 to the second groove portion 8, rigidity of the second frame body that is displaced integrally with the first frame body by, for example, great lateral vibration in the event of an earthquake is maintained, and deformations of the first frame body and the second frame body caused by lateral vibration in the event of an earthquake can be minimized, so that the door can be opened and closed even in an emergency.

[0116] To the L-shape-folded portion from which the fourth contact surface 19 is formed, triangular ribs 23 for securing strength are attached.

[0117] Here, the triangular ribs 23 do not necessarily have to be attached. However, by the triangular ribs 23, the fragile root portion of the L shape can be reinforced.

[0118] Next, a mounting state of the inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 to the wall 4 in which the wall opening 5 is formed is described with reference to FIG. 7. The inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 are firmly coupled by fitting projecting piece portions 25 provided to extend from the side walls 22a of the second groove portions 8 of the outer frame body 3 in the recessed piece portions 24 provided to extend from side walls 16b of the first groove portions 7 of the inner frame body 2.

[0119] Here, the inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 do not necessarily have to be coupled by the method in which the recessed piece portions 24 and the projecting piece portions 25 are fitted to each other. For example, the inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 may be coupled by a known fixing method such as welding, adhesion, or screwing, etc. However, by fitting and coupling the recessed piece portions 24 and the projecting piece portions 25, they can be used as a mark when coupling the outer frame body 3 to the inner frame body 2, and processes such as welding, adhesion, and screwing, etc., after assembling are unnecessary, so that the assembling process becomes easy.

[0120] In addition, it is not necessarily required that the recessed piece portions 24 are formed on the inner frame body 2 and the projecting piece portions 25 are formed on the outer frame body 3. For example, it is also possible that the projecting piece portions 25 are formed on the inner frame body 2, and the recessed piece portions 24 are formed on the outer frame body 3.

[0121] One surface of the L-shaped mounting angle 11 is brought into contact with and screwed and fixed to the second contact surface 13 of the first reinforcing member 9, and the other surface of the mounting angle 11 is brought into contact with the wall 4 and screwed and fixed to the post members 6a and 6b and the beam member 6c. That is, the door frame structure 1 is not directly fixed to the wall 4, and the first reinforcing members 9 installed slidably on the inner frame body 2 are mounted to the wall 4 via the mounting angles 11.

[0122] Here, one surface of the mounting angle 11 and the second contact surface 13 of the first reinforcing member 9, and the other surface of the mounting angle 11 and the wall 4 do not necessarily have to be screwed and fixed to each other. For example, they can be fixed by a known fixing method such as welding or adhesion, etc.

[0123] Next, a detailed shape of the mounting angle 11 is described with reference to FIG. 8. The mounting angle 11 is substantially L-shaped, and has a fifth contact surface 26 being a contact surface that comes into contact with the wall 4, and a sixth contact surface 27 that comes into contact with the second contact surface 13 of the first reinforcing member 9. The fifth contact surface 26 has a contact area larger than that of the sixth contact surface 27, and on the fifth contact surface 26, a fifth contact surface projection 28 is formed by drawing.

[0124] The contact area of the fifth contact surface 26 does not necessarily have to be set to be larger than the contact area of the sixth contact surface 27. However, by setting the contact area of the fifth contact surface 26 being a contact surface that comes into contact with the wall 4 to be larger than the contact area of the sixth contact surface 27, the mounting angle 11 can be prevented from coming off the wall 4 even when the wall 4 is greatly displaced in the event of an earthquake.

[0125] In addition, it is not necessarily required that drawing is applied to the fifth contact surface 26. However, the fifth contact surface 26 is directly subjected to a stress from the wall 4, so that by increasing the rigidity by drawing, the mounting angle 11 can be prevented from being fractured by the stress received from the wall 4.

[0126] To the L-shape-folded portion of the mounting angle 11, triangular ribs 29 for securing strength are attached.

[0127] Here, the triangular ribs 29 do not necessarily have to be attached. However, by the triangular ribs 29, the fragile root portion of the L shape can be reinforced.

[0128] As described above, the door frame structure 1 including the inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 is indirectly mounted to the wall 4 via the first reinforcing members 9 slidably installed on the inner frame body 2 and the mounting angles 11.

[0129] Therefore, in normal use, rigidity of the door frame structure 1 can be improved by the first reinforcing members 9 and the second reinforcing members 10. On the other hand, even if great relative story displacement of the wall 4 occurs due to lateral vibration in the event of an earthquake, etc., the door frame structure 1 does not deform by following the relative story displacement of the wall 4. Therefore, deformation of the door frame structure 1 with respect to relative story displacement of the wall 4 can be minimized, so that the door can be opened and closed even in an emergency.

[0130] Next, a method for mounting the door frame structure 1 to the wall opening 5 is described.

STEP 1: Step of Installing the First Reinforcing Members 9 on the Inner Frame Body 2

[0131] On the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c, the first reinforcing members 9 are respectively installed slidably in the first groove portions 7.

STEP 2: Step of Bringing into Contact and Fixing the Mounting Angles 11 to the First Reinforcing Members 9

[0132] The sixth contact surfaces 27 of the mounting angles 11 are brought into contact with and screwed and fixed to the second contact surfaces 13 of the first reinforcing members 9 respectively installed on the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c.

[0133] Here, the second contact surfaces 13 and the sixth contact surfaces 27 do not necessarily have to be screwed and fixed. For example, they can be fixed by a known fixing means such as adhesion, welding, and caulking, etc.

STEP 3: Step of Assembling the First Frame Members 2a and 2b and the Second Frame Member 2c

[0134] The second frame member 2c is assembled to one ends of the first frame members 2a and 2b to form the inner frame body 2 being a jamb.

[0135] Here, in a case where the first frame members 2a and 2b and the second frame member 2c are formed integrally, the step of <STEP 3> is unnecessary.

[0136] In addition, to form a rectangular frame having four sides, another frame member may further be added and joined to the other ends of the first frame members 2a and 2b.

STEP 4: Step of Installing the Second Reinforcing Members 10 on the Outer Frame Body 3

[0137] The second reinforcing members 10 are installed in the second groove portions 8 of the respective third frame members 3a and 3b and fourth frame member 3c.

STEP 5: Step of Assembling the Third Frame Members 3a and 3b and the Fourth Frame Member 3c

[0138] The fourth frame member 3c is assembled to one ends of the third frame members 3a and 3b to form the outer frame body 3 being a jamb.

[0139] Here, in a case where the third frame members 3a and 3b and the fourth frame member 3c are formed integrally, the step of <STEP 5> is unnecessary.

[0140] In addition, to forma rectangular frame having four sides, another frame member may further be added and joined to the other ends of the third frame members 3a and 3b.

STEP 6: Step of Assembling the Inner Frame Body 2 to the Wall 4

[0141] The inner frame body 2 to which the first reinforcing members 9 are fixed is fitted in the wall opening 5 from one side.

STEP 7: Step of Mounting the Mounting Angles 11 to the Wall 4

[0142] The fifth contact surfaces 26 of the mounting angles 11 fixed to the second contact surfaces 13 of the first reinforcing members 9 are screwed and fixed to the wall 4.

[0143] Here, the fifth contact surfaces 26 do not necessarily have to be screwed and fixed to the wall 4. For example, the fifth contact surfaces 26 may be fixed by a known fixing means such as adhesion, welding, and caulking, etc.

STEP 3: Step of Coupling the Outer Frame Body 3 to the Inner Frame Body 2

[0144] The outer frame body 3 is fitted in the wall opening 5 from the other end side of the wall opening 5 so as to face the inner frame body 2. At this time, by fitting the projecting piece portions 25 formed on the outer frame body 3 in the recessed piece portions 24 formed on the inner frame body 2, the inner frame body 2 and the outer frame body 3 are coupled together.

[0145] As described above, the door frame structure and the method for mounting the door frame structure to which the present invention is applied improve the rigidity, prevent deformation that is caused by relative story displacement of a building in the event of an earthquake, and enable easy mounting.
