[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As one of the waterproofing means in a conventional bathroom folding door, as shown in FIG. 7, a summing cap 20 is provided at a bent portion, that is, a lower end portion of a rotating portion of each summing frame of left and right panels. , 20 are provided, and the lower frame 12, 12 of each
There is a lower edge provided with a water stop tongue piece 12a in a hanging state. With the addition of the above-mentioned waterproofing means, the waterproofness of the entrance / exit of the bathroom is relatively high, so that the request for the waterproofing of the rotating portion of the bathroom folding door is not so high. However, recently, consumers' needs for high functionality (high water resistance) for folding doors for bathrooms have been increasing, and conventional technology cannot meet these needs.
In particular, a slit-shaped gap is left between the bending portions of the assembling caps 20, 20, and hot and cold water may flow out toward the dressing room from there. This gap may be set to zero, but it is a rotating portion and it is difficult to ensure smooth rotation.

[0003]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a horizontal sectional view (A) and a front explanatory view (B) of a main part of a bathroom folding door according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of a bathroom folding door according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is the bathroom. Vertical sectional view of the folding door for the bathroom, Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view of the folding door for the bathroom,
FIG. 5 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the lower portion of the assembling frame of the bathroom folding door, FIG.
FIG. 4A is a plan view (A), a front view (B), a side view (C), and a horizontal sectional view (D) of a cap used in the bathroom folding door.

(Body) An upper frame 1, a lower frame 2 and vertical frames 3, 3 are arranged at each edge of the opening of the bathroom entrance / exit to form a frame of the opening. The bathroom folding door 10 is arranged in this opening by a hinge so as to be openable and closable.

(Bathroom Folding Door 10) The bathroom folding door 10 according to this embodiment is a combination frame 1 of two doors 10a and 10a.
3a and 13a have a structure in which they are foldably connected by a hinge body 14. Each door 10a is composed of an upper upper frame 11, a side vertical frame 13, a summing frame 13a, and a panel 16 and a louver 15 held by a lower lower frame 12. A handle 18 is attached to one of the doors 10a. A water stop tongue piece 12a is attached to the lower edge of the lower frame 12 toward the lower frame 2, and a summing cap 20 is attached to the lower edge of each summing frame 13a.

(Hinge body 14) Left and right doors 10a, 10a
Are connected by a hinge body 14. In the hinge body 14,
That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the first shaft portion 13c and the second shaft portion 13d of the doors 10a, 10a are rotatably mounted. (Combining Cap 20) Each of the combining caps 20 is, in particular, a flat plate-like shaft support plate 21, an engaging portion 22 to the hinge body 14 formed on the upper surface of the shaft support plate 21, and a bathroom of the shaft support plate 21. The shaft support recess 23 formed on the side, and
A water stop fin 24 is provided so as to hang down from the edge between the shaft support recesses 23.

(Water stop member 24) The water stop fin portion 24 is
A water blocking member that prevents hot water from entering the gap between the assembling caps 20 and 20 is configured. The water stop fin portion 24 has a substantially convex horizontal cross section, and is provided below the hinge body 14. Specifically, when the folding door 10 is closed, as shown in FIG. 1 (B) and FIG.
Located in the front part of the gap between 0, the summing caps 20, 2
Prevent hot water such as shower sprinkling and floor splashing water from flowing from the bathroom to the changing room through the space between 0s.

Since the water-stop fin portion 24 covers a gap between the assembling caps 20 and 20 which is bent and opened and closed on the dressing room side to a certain extent, for example, hot water in the bathroom is provided between the assembling caps 20 and 20. Even when the hot water passes through the gap, the water is stopped by the water stop fin portion 24 and can flow down to the groove portion on the lower frame side, so that it does not flow out to the undressing room side. In addition, the above-mentioned water stop fin 24 is the summing cap 20.
Although it is formed integrally with the above, it may be formed separately and additionally. With the above configuration, by adding the water blocking fin portion 24 to the assembling caps 20 and 20 below the bathroom folding door panel, it becomes possible to prevent water leakage to the dressing room side.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, and design changes within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. Are included in the present invention.

[0013]

As can be understood from the above description, the water blocking member attached to the folding door of the present invention thus constructed can prevent water leakage from the lower rotating part of the panel to the dressing room side. This is good for hygiene by preventing water from leaking to the dressing room side, and eliminating the problem of the floor of the dressing room side becoming rotten, which has been a long-standing concern, by eliminating water leakage to the dressing room side. Moreover, since there is no water leakage on the floor of the dressing room, it is excellent in terms of preventing slippage. Also, a combination cap 2
Even if the gap between 0 and 20 is large to some extent, water can be stopped by the water stop member, so that it is possible to design a folding door that is easy to open and close in the hinge body. Further, since the water blocking member closes the space between the assembling caps 20, 20, when the folding door is closed, the accessory on the side of the dressing room is the assembling cap 2
There is also a side effect of avoiding biting between 0 and 20.
