A door panel 9a suspended from the rail 10 is guided by the rail 10 and moved between an opening position along one surface 5a of the side wall 4 adjacent to the opening part 3 and a closing position off-centered from the opening position and protruded into the opening part 3. A rail is embedded in the skirting of the side wall 5, and the lower part of the door panel 9a is movably retained by the rail to flatten the floor, so that the lower part of the door panel 9a is never collided thereto in the suspended state.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for changing an existing hinged door for human access and a sliding door structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, there are a hinged door and a sliding door as a means for opening and closing a person access opening in a house. The sliding door is provided with a thinner wall adjacent to the opening so that the sliding door can be opened. Because the construction space is troublesome and there are many restrictions, such as the need to secure a so-called door pocket space, the present situation is that swing doors are widely used.

[0003] However, if a wheelchair is used in a house in the future due to illness or old age, it will be difficult for the door to be opened and closed or passed using a wheelchair.
It is conceivable that a problem arises in that the effective opening width of the opening is narrowed to prevent passage of a wheelchair.

[0004] Then, it is fully expected that the user will be required to open the opening by removing the hinged door or to change from the hinged door to a sliding door.

[0005] However, opening the opening by removing the hinged door has the problem of impairing the airtightness and sound insulation of the room, and changing to the sliding door type requires significant modification of the wall adjacent to the opening. This causes a problem that the construction is very troublesome and costly.

In the background of the present invention, when a change of a hinged door is required in the future in the above-mentioned background, it can be easily and inexpensively changed to a sliding door type.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of changing an existing hinged door for human access, which does not impair the airtightness and sound insulation of a room. It is another object of the present invention to provide a sliding door structure that can be effectively employed not only in such a changing method but also when newly constructing a house.

[0007]

An object of the present invention is to remove an existing hinged door from an opening, and to move a sliding door along an opening position along one surface of a side wall adjacent to the opening; The present invention solves the above problem by a method of changing an existing door for human access, which is provided in a manner of moving back and forth between a closed position protruding into an opening and being eccentric from the door.

According to this modification method, it is not necessary to form a special door pocket space, and it is not necessary to modify an existing wall adjacent to the opening. Therefore, the change from the hinged door to the sliding door type can be performed easily and inexpensively. Moreover, since the hinged door projects into the opening at the closed position, it does not impair the airtightness or sound insulation of the room, nor does it impair the fitting relationship between the opening and the fitting in the closed state. .

Further, in the sliding door structure according to the present invention, the sliding door has an opening position along one of the side walls adjacent to the opening and an eccentric position from the opening position. Since it is provided in a mode of going back and forth between the closed position protruding into the opening, it is of course suitable for changing from the opening door type to the sliding door type as described above, and in addition, assuming the future Therefore, it is also possible to adopt this sliding door structure in advance at the time of new construction, in which case it is not necessary to construct the wall adjacent to the opening on the dedicated wall to secure the door pocket space, Sliding doors can be adopted.

[0010]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
A case in which an existing door 4 provided in an opening 3 that connects a corridor 1 and a living room 2 is used as a door opening and exit for indoors of a house, specifically, a case where this is changed to a sliding door type. It is. 5 is a side wall adjacent to the opening 3.

In the hinged door structure shown in FIG.
a is a door plate, 6 is a fitting frame, 7 is a hinge, and 8 is a door stop provided in the fitting frame 6. The fitting frame 6 is the left and right vertical frames 6
a, 6a and an upper frame (not shown), without a lower frame, and a flat floor. When the hinged door 4 is adopted as the opening / closing means for the opening 3, it can be seen that the thickness of the hinge 7 and the door plate 4 a is a factor for reducing the width of the opening 3 as shown in FIG. In the case of the one shown in the figure, even if the dimension between the left and right vertical frames 6a, 6a is, for example, 720 mm, the effective opening width when the hinged door 4 is opened is, for example, 6 mm.
It becomes as narrow as 55.5 mm. In a life in a wheelchair, the opening and closing operation of the hinged door 4 is not only difficult to perform, but if it is such a narrow width, it is not always possible to smoothly pass through the wheelchair. Therefore, the hinged door 4 is changed to the sliding door type as follows.

In the modification work, first, as shown in FIG. 4B, the door plate 4a of the existing hinged door 4, the hinge 7 and the fitting frame 6 are used.
Remove and remove.

Thereafter, the sliding door 9 having the structure shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is constructed. This sliding door structure is shown in FIG.

In the construction, after removing the hinged door 4, it is only necessary to mount the components of the sliding door structure so as to be retrofitted, and the wall 5 adjacent to the opening 3 needs to be modified or changed for a general sliding door. However, the door 4 can be left as it is, and construction can be performed easily and inexpensively. And, while the wall 5 adjacent to the opening 3 is used as it is without modification, the sliding door 9
In the closed position, since it projects into the opening 3, the airtightness and the sound insulation of the room are not impaired.

In this sliding door type which has been changed from a hinged door as described above, the door can be easily opened and closed in a wheelchair, and the effective opening width is made larger than that of a hinged door. Is possible, for example, 720m
m or 750 mm, which makes it possible to smoothly pass through a wheelchair. In addition, as the handle 17 provided on the door plate 9a of the sliding door 9, for example, a grip portion having a vertical bar shape is used, so that the opening and closing operation can be easily performed from any side sandwiching the door plate 9a. it can. Further, when the sliding door structure as described above is provided with an opening / closing force assisting mechanism such as power assist or a door engine is provided so that the sliding door 9 automatically opens and closes, the usability is improved. It will be even better.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the mode of the eccentric movement at the time of the opening and closing operation of the sliding door in the sliding door structure of the present invention is not limited to the specific movement as shown in FIG. May be present, and there is no particular limitation. In addition, it goes without saying that various types of opening and closing mechanisms may be used as the opening and closing mechanism that performs such eccentric movement. In addition, the door frame of the hinged door may have a structure that can be used as the door frame of the sliding door structure of the present invention in preparation for a future change. Further, the sliding door structure of the present invention
Although it is preferably used in a change of a hinged door that may occur in the future, it is not limited thereto, and may be used from the beginning at the time of new construction, or retrofitted to an opening where a door was not provided at the beginning of a new construction. It may be used in such a manner.
