Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a movable panel incorporating a door. More specifically, when the door is opened, the opening provided in the panel body does not deform due to the weight of the door, and the door itself does not tilt and damage the floor,
A new door-incorporated movable panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a movable door, there is known a movable partition panel having a door function in a structure of a movable partition panel. However, this type is not satisfactory in terms of strength because the entire panel is rotated to have a door function, and in order to strengthen the support portion, the position of the panel is determined by a strong wall. There is a problem that the position is limited to the end position. To solve this problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open
JP-A-121825 proposes a partition panel in which an opening is provided in a panel body and a door is attached to the opening so as to be openable and closable.

[0003] In the above publication, since the upper portion and the left and right portions are left as frames in the panel body as an opening, a door may be attached to either the left or right frame via a hinge portion. it can. Therefore, an improvement has been made in which the position of the door is not limited to the end of the wall and can be freely and easily changed.

[0004]

In recent years, the occupants themselves can easily change the layout or change the design of the room by simply moving the panel and with little construction cost. There is an increasing demand for partition panels with doors that can be freely opened and closed. at the same time,
There is also an increasing need for door types, and for example, doors with a profound feeling are also required. However, due to the structural limitations of the movable panel itself, when a heavy door is attached to the movable panel, there is a problem that the frame is deformed and the entire panel body tilts in the direction that the door is opened due to the weight of the door, Even with the prior art disclosed in the above publication, it is difficult to solve these problems.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for barrier-free devices so that they can be freely moved in a house by a wheelchair or the like. In order to meet the needs, a U-shape composed of an upper frame and left and right frames is required. A door must be mounted on one of the vertical frames of the frame. In this case, in particular, the burden on the frame portion is increased, and the problem that the frame portion is deformed or damaged, or the panel is inclined in the direction of the door due to the weight of the door, appears more remarkably.

The present invention has been conceived under such a circumstance. When a door is attached via a hinge to a frame serving as a framework of an opening of a panel main body, the frame is formed. Provide a door-incorporated panel that reduces the burden to prevent deformation and breakage of the opening, and allows the door to be opened and closed easily and easily, without tilting the panel body due to the weight of the door. Is the task.

[0007]

The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. That is, according to the present invention, in a movable panel composed of a panel main body provided with an opening and a door attached to open and close the opening, a supporting means for suspending the door is provided. The door is provided in the vicinity of the upper opening edge of the opening, and the door is hung on the support means so as to be freely opened and closed via a locking means provided at an upper end of the door. A door built-in movable panel is provided.

According to the above construction, the door is attached to the frame, which is a framework of the opening of the panel body, via the hinge, and the locking means provided at the upper end of the door. , The moment applied to the hinge portion is extremely small. As a result, the burden on the hinge portion is reduced, and the door can be operated lightly and smoothly. In particular, when the opening has a U-shaped structure lacking a lower frame in order to make the opening barrier-free, the above-described effect is more remarkable.

Further, it is preferable that the support means has a guide rail provided in an arc shape. Since the opening and closing trajectory of the door is an arc, the locking means provided at the upper end of the door is slidably supported by the groove of the guide rail,
The door can be opened and closed lightly. Further, it is preferable to use a hanging door wheel as the locking means. The door can be opened and closed more smoothly by rotating the door roller of the hanging door roller in the groove of the guide rail.

When the door is opened 180 degrees, the arc-shaped guide rail has a semi-arc shape, but is not limited thereto. Further, the position where the locking means is provided at the upper end of the door is not particularly limited. For example, when the locking means is arranged in the center of the upper end surface of the door,
An arcuate guide rail having a radius equal to の of the width of the door is provided.

It is preferable that the supporting means is further reinforced by reinforcing means. For example, when the door is manufactured using a heavy material to give a solid feeling, it may be impossible to suspend and support the supporting means alone, so by using a reinforcing means,
The door can be hung more stably.

[0012] The reinforcing means may use a right-angled triangular member provided between the panel main body and the arc-shaped guide rail. Further, a reinforcing means may be constituted by mounting a hollow or a wire between the upper part of the opening of the panel body and the central part of the arc-shaped guide rail.

Further, the reinforcing means may be provided between the ceiling member and the supporting means. In this case, the lower end of the reinforcing means may be fixed to the supporting means and the upper end may be screwed to the ceiling member as a flange.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a movable panel incorporating a door according to the present invention. As is clear from FIG. 1, the movable panel incorporating the door includes a panel body 1, a door 2,
It comprises a guide rail as the support means 3 and a reinforcing means 4. A guide rail having both ends fixed above the upper opening edge of the opening 6 is formed in a semicircular arc shape. The guide rail suspends the upper end of the door and supports the door so that it can be opened and closed. At the upper end edge of the panel body 1, the ceiling members 11, 11
Is provided, and the panel main body 1 is provided with
The ceiling is reinforced at 11 so that it does not shake or fall.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the door 2 is suspended from a support means 3 which is a guide rail via a locking means 5. As the locking means 5, a hanging door roller is usually used. The hanging door roller arranged on the upper end surface of the door draws a locus of an arc by opening and closing the door, but the hanging door wheel is supported by a guide rail with the same arc as that, and the door is opened and closed by opening and closing the door. It can be performed lightly and smoothly.

The supporting means 3 may be formed in an isosceles triangular shape by combining two linear guide rails in addition to the above-described arc-shaped guide rail. It will be provided slidably on the end face.

FIG. 3 shows a reinforcing member 4 having a rod-like body provided with a flange 12 at the upper end. The lower end of the rod is fixed to the support means 3, and the flange 12 is fixed to the ceiling by a method such as screwing. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment using a hollow as the reinforcing means 4.

[0019]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the deformation and breakage of the opening of the panel body can be prevented by the weight of the door. This effect is remarkably exhibited when the opening has a U-shaped structure lacking a lower opening edge. Further, the door can be rotated lightly and smoothly by using an arc-shaped guide rail as the support means of the door and a hanging door wheel as the locking means. Further, by reinforcing the support means with reinforcing means such as a right-angled triangular member, a string, a wire, etc., even if the door is heavy, it can be hung safely.
