CURTAIN WALL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To absorb layer displacement in a simple structure, reduce the size of a sealing material between a vertical frame and a panel, and reduce the size of the vertical frame by moving a narrow panel relatively to the vertical frame. SOLUTION: A vertical frame 7 is previously fixed to the sides of wall bodies 1, 2 to unite the wall bodies 1, 2 into one body, and a transom 27 is installed between the vertical frames 7, 7 of the adjacent wall bodies 1, 2. A panel 4 longer in the vertical direction than in the lateral direction is placed on the transom 27 through setting blocks 31... in such a manner as to freely move laterally. Holding members 36... are interposed between both side surfaces of the panel 4 and the vertical frames 7 of right and left wall bodies 1, 2, thereby holding the panel 4 in such a manner as to freely move up and down with respect to the vertical frame 7. Accordingly, it is not necessary to ensure a sealing material of such a width as to permit elastic deformation, and the sealing material can be reduced in size, so that the vertical frame 7 can be reduced in size.
