DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lower frame of a bathroom sliding door for supporting a sliding door separating a bathroom and a dressing room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a bathroom and a dressing room are separated by a sliding door supported by a lower frame, in order to prevent tripping when walking on the lower frame and entering and exiting the bathroom, Since the level of the upper end of the rail formed on the lower frame is aligned with the level of the floor of the dressing room or bathroom, when the foot is on the lower frame, the upper end of the rail contacts the sole of the foot. If it is made of metal, such as an extruded aluminum profile, it will give a cool feel, and a small rail width will be painful.

As shown in FIG. 7 of Japanese Patent No. 2682957, a surface material such as synthetic resin or rubber may be attached to the upper end of the rail to prevent slippage during walking. However, in order not to hinder the running of the sliding door, the entire upper end of the rail cannot be covered with the surface material, so that the rail cannot be avoided from contacting the foot.

If the rail is concave upward as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 of JP-A-9-268845, the sole of the foot will not directly touch the surface of the rail, but the door wheel will protrude toward the rail. Must have a special shape. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the door roller has a general shape that is concave on the rail side, the upper end of the rail is convex upward. Rail contact cannot be avoided.

In view of the above background, the present invention proposes a lower frame in which contact between the upper end of the rail and the sole of the foot does not occur while preventing a trip during walking.

[0006]

In the lower frame of the bathroom, an upper projection piece fixed to the undressing room is formed on the undressing room side of the rail on which the sliding door of the sliding door travels. The level of the lower frame is lower than the level of the upper surface of the upper speculative piece, and the cross section of the lower frame is shaped so that the foot rests on the part other than the rail when walking. Prevents giving the feel of cold and pain to the back. If there is only one rail, the foot will rest on the upper prospective piece during walking.

When the sliding door is arranged in two or more,
That is, when the lower frame has a plurality of rails, the foot rests between adjacent rails in order to avoid a situation in which the toes are pinched between the rails when walking on the lower frame as described in claim 2. A support portion is formed, and the groove between the rails is filled by the support portion. In this case as well, the level at the upper end of the rail is set lower than the level at the upper surface of the upper prospective piece.

In this case, the level of the upper end of the supporting portion is aligned with the level of the upper surface of the upper prospective piece for the reason of prevention of tripping. As a result, the level of the upper end of the rail is lower than the level of the upper end of the supporting portion. The foot rests on the upper prospective piece and the support part, and the contact of the rail with the sole of the foot is avoided.

When there are a plurality of rails, pinching of a finger between adjacent support portions due to the upper end of the rail being lower than the upper end of the support portion increases the width of the upper end portion of the support portion or reduces the width between the support portions. This can be prevented by reducing the interval.

In the case where the lower frame is constituted by a lower frame body on which the upper projection piece is formed and a rail member detachably attached to the lower frame body, the lower frame is cleaned. Can be easily performed. In this case, the rail and the support are formed on the rail member.

When the upper end of the rail is lower than the upper surface of the upper projection piece, the rail is formed integrally with the lower frame, and when the rail is formed on a rail member detachable from the lower frame body. In any case, since the rail does not block the water generated in the bathroom on the lower frame, the amount of water accumulated in the groove formed on the undressing room side of the rail decreases, or the water does not accumulate, Eliminates the need to form drain holes in the rails. If the upper end of the rail is at the same level as the upper surface of the upper prospective piece, especially when the rail is integrally formed with the lower frame, the rail will block water,
It is necessary to form drain holes in the rail.

Further, a support portion is formed between the rails because the upper end of the rail is lower than the upper surface of the upper projection piece.
In the case of (1), since the rail is not exposed because it is lower than the upper end of the support portion, the appearance of the lower frame is improved, and a visual effect that gives a sense of security without touching the rail is generated.
