Horizontal outward projecting window

In this sort of window, the upper frame serves as the axis of rotation: it moves up or down along a groove or rail attached to the top and bottom of the window frame. The window opens when the lower frame rotates out onto the exterior. The rotation and the vertical movement occurs simultaneously.

Index of Window Sounds and Movements 

For this project, we sought to extract and observe the sounds and movements associated with the opening and closing of windows, in order to shed more light on how we perceive a “window” through our ears and eyes. A Glossary of Window Sounds and Movements is the first research project of “Windows Products Inside,” carried out as a collaboration between the Window Research Institute and product designer Yoh Komiyama, with video imagery created by Tomohiro Okazaki.

横すべり出し窓  

上框が回転軸となり、窓枠の左右に設けられた溝またはレールに沿って上下に移動しながら、下框が外部に回転して開閉する窓を「横すべり出し窓」と呼ぶ。回転と垂直移動を同時に行う。
