Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swinging mechanism of slats and an opening covering device such as a rain shutter door utilizing the same.
  • an opening covering device is attached to the outside of an opening portion of a building.
  • the opening covering device includes a rain shutter door, a folding rain shutter door, a double sliding rain shutter door, a sliding door, a casement window, a lattice window, a louver, a shutter, a window blind, a door, etc.
  • the opening covering device in general, has functions of crime prevention, rainproof, windbreak and others.
  • a material of the opening covering device has changed from wood to steel, from past to present.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a swinging mechanism of slats that can be operated easily. Another object of the present invention is to improve operability of the swinging mechanism for swinging slats of an opening covering device. Concerning a rain shutter door, a folding rain shutter door, double sliding rain shutter door and others, still another object of the present invention is to provide a rain shutter door with a new function such as airflow, ventilation and lighting by attaching slats and a swinging mechanism thereof.
  • a swinging mechanism of slats is structured such that a swinging mechanism for swinging a plurality of slats includes a twisted bar for converting a sliding force of an operating slider, which is generated when an operator opens and closes the slats of an opening covering device from the inside, into a rotating force.
  • the opening and closing of the slats become easy by the sliding movement of the operating slider.
  • the slats can be opened or closed by any desired angle in accordance with a sliding width of the operating slider.
  • a swinging mechanism of slats at least includes:
  • the slats are opened and closed by the sliding movement of the operating slider in the horizontal direction, so easiness of the swing operation of the slats is improved.
  • an opening covering device that is attached to an opening portion of a building, includes:
  • an opening covering device of the present invention the following operational effects are attained. Airflow, ventilation, lighting, outside thermal insulation are realized, and protection of privacy can be secured. Since a twisted bar that converts a sliding force into a rotating force is used, a swinging mechanism can be housed compactly in a stile. By adjusting a twisting angle of the twisted bar, the sliding force that is applied and a swing angle of the slats (an angle of opening and closing) can be adjusted. The slats can be kept in a desired stable angle of opening and closing. Even if the slats are rotated in the state, the force is hardly transmitted to the operating slider.
  • the opening covering device means a device that is positioned at the inside of an opening of a building, that is facing the outside. Therefore it is not concerned whether or not fittings such as a window, a door, a paper sliding door or an entrance sliding door are positioned at the inside.
  • a window or an equivalent may or may not be positioned at the inside if a louver is used.
  • the sliding door of the present invention can be used without any change. Otherwise, an entrance sliding door or others can be positioned at the inside of the sliding door of the present invention.
  • the twisted bar may be arranged in a central stile that constitutes the stile, other than in an upper stile, a lower stile, or the like, constituting the stile.
  • the opening covering device may further include a first swinging mechanism for swinging the plural slats arranged above the central stile and a second swinging mechanism swinging the plural slats arranged under the central stile.
  • the angle of opening and closing of the slats can be adjusted substantially the same or different between the upper and the lower portions with respect to the central stile.
  • a key device to be attached thereto is structured to have a lock body and a key lever that can be removed from the lock body when it is locked and engages the lock body when it is unlocked.
  • the key lever can be removed from the lock body when it is locked. Therefore, the key device cannot be manipulated from the outside, so the crime prevention property is improved.
  • the opening covering device it is preferable to provide a prevention member for preventing an operating slider that applies a sliding force to the twisted bar from being operated from the outside.
  • the disturbing member prevents the operating slider from being viewed from the outside and makes it difficult to be manipulated from the outside.
