The front part of the door 5 may be fixed to the storage door support frame 3 as needed. Since the directions of the door 5 and the universal wheel 14 do not change during each operation, the operation can be performed with a relatively small force without difficulty. Note that a portion surrounded by a chain line indicates an area where the door 5 moves during storage.

When the gate is pulled out, the door support frame 4 is reversed.
And the doors 5a, 5b and 5c are pulled out in the direction opposite to D, and the tip of the door 5c is pushed in the direction opposite to C to align in the direction of the gate, and further pushed in the direction opposite to B to open the doors 5c, 5b and 5a. The gate is closed by engaging with the door stop pillar 21. When the gate is composed of a single door, it is not necessary to perform the operation of overlapping and deploying the doors.

Although the site of the moving range of the gate and the door is not always flat, and may be inclined or uneven, the present invention provides a rotary shaft even if the universal wheel 14 at the front of the door moves up and down. 1
0 slides in the frame of the lower slide fitting 11a and can be absorbed by the door 5 rotating in the opening and closing direction about the fulcrum on the upper support fitting 11, so that it can freely cope with the inclination and unevenness of the road surface. .

In this embodiment, the universal wheel 14 functions as a caster and travels freely, but a rail may be provided on the ground to guide one or more universal wheels. Further, a stop means for preventing the door 5 from swinging in the direction opposite to the gate may be provided.
