Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
According to the first invention, when the deflection suppressing member is rotated to the deflection suppressing position, the opening / closing body that is bent or fluttered due to strong winds or the like is brought into contact with the deflection suppressing member. Thus, bending and fluttering of the opening / closing body can be suppressed.
Moreover, if the bending suppression member is rotated in the reverse direction, the bending suppression member can be stored in a good manner so as not to obstruct people or objects passing through the opening.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body that has been bent or fluttered from coming into contact with or coming off from the guide rail or the like on the window sash side member such as a screen door sash or sash screen.

  Further, according to the sixth aspect of the invention, the deflection suppressing member can have a specific configuration that is simple and has good storage properties.

According to the seventh invention, when the opening / closing body is closed, the bending suppressing member is pulled by the opening / closing body during the closing operation and rotates toward the bending suppressing position.
Conversely, if the opening / closing body is opened, the deflection suppressing member is rotated toward the storage position by being pulled by the opening / closing body during the opening operation.
Therefore, the deflection suppressing member can be rotated in accordance with the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body, and the usability of the opening / closing device can be further improved.

Moreover, according to the eighth invention, when suppressing the bending of the opening / closing body, the bending suppressing member is rotated from the storage position to the bending suppressing position and is extended to extend the bending suppressing member over a longer range. It can be brought close to the opening / closing body. Therefore, the bending suppression effect by a bending suppression position is favorable.
Moreover, when accommodating a bending suppression member, it can be set as a more compact accommodation aspect by rotating and contracting this bending suppression member to a reverse direction.

Further, according to the ninth aspect, when the opening / closing body is closed, the bending suppressing member is pulled by the opening / closing body during the closing operation and extends while rotating to the bending suppressing position side.
Conversely, when the opening / closing body is opened, the bending suppression member contracts while being rotated toward the storage position by being pulled by the opening / closing body during the opening operation.
Therefore, the deflection suppressing member can be rotated in accordance with the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body, and the usability of the opening / closing device can be further improved.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The opening / closing device of the present embodiment is arranged in or on the opening or inside of a building / structure such as a house, building, warehouse, factory, underground shopping street, tunnel, vehicle loading platform, etc. As a particularly preferable aspect, an example of a shutter device that opens and closes an opening of a structure will be described.

  The opening / closing device 1 includes an opening / closing body 10 that opens and closes an opening a by sliding an end in a closing direction in the up / down direction, and left and right guide rails 20 that guide both ends in the width direction of the opening / closing body 10 in the opening / closing direction. , 20, a winding device 30 that winds and unwinds the opening / closing body 10 on the opening direction side of the opening / closing body 10, and a bending suppression member disposed in a crossing manner to suppress bending of the opening / closing body 10 in the closed state 40, 40 (see FIG. 1).

  The opening / closing body 10 constitutes an opening / closing body main body 11 by connecting a plurality of so-called slats formed by bending a horizontally long substantially rectangular metal plate so as to rotate between adjacent slats in the vertical direction. A seat plate member 12 for contacting a contact target portion b such as a floor surface, the ground, or a frame member is connected to the lower end of the body main body 11 in the opening / closing body width direction.

  The guide rail 20 is a member that guides the opening / closing body 10 in the opening / closing direction by surrounding the widthwise end of the opening / closing body 10 in a substantially U-shaped cross section. It arrange | positions between the site | part b and the winding device 30 mentioned later.

A pivot attachment bracket 21 for pivotally attaching each deflection suppressing member 40 is fixed to the lower end side of each guide rail 20.
The pivot bracket 21 is an immovable portion located on the opening / closing body closing direction side and on one end side in the opening / closing body width direction, and the lower end portion of each bending suppression member 40 is freely rotatable via a shaft member or the like. To support.

Further, on the upper end sides of both guide rails 20, both deflection suppressing members 40, 40 are provided with a deflection suppressing position close to the opening / closing body 10 along the front or back of the opening / closing body 10 in the closed state, and an opening. A moving mechanism 50 is provided for rotating between the storage positions stored on the peripheral side of a.
The moving mechanism 50 is screwed onto the screw shaft 51, a screw shaft 51 that is rotated in both directions by a drive source (not shown), both support brackets 52 and 52 that rotatably support the screw shaft 51 at both ends thereof. And two moving bodies 53, 53.

The screw shaft 51 is formed with a male screw portion 51a on the outer periphery on the half-half side with a substantially central portion in the axial direction as a boundary, and on the other half-side, a male screw serving as a reverse screw with respect to the screw shaft 51. A screw part 51b is formed.
The screw shaft 51 is arranged on the opening / closing body opening direction side of the opening a across the opening / closing body width direction, and both ends thereof are rotatably supported by the left and right support brackets 52 and 52.
The screw direction of the male screw part 51 a is such that when the screw shaft 51 rotates in accordance with the closing operation of the opening / closing body 10, the moving body 53 screwed into the male screw part 51 a is separated from the other moving body 53. It is set to move in the direction.
Similarly, the screw direction of the male screw portion 51b is such that when the screw shaft 51 rotates in accordance with the closing operation of the opening / closing body 10, the moving body 53 screwed to the male screw portion 51b is moved to the other moving body. It is set to move away from 53.
Therefore, according to the above configuration, when the screw shaft 51 is rotated in the predetermined rotation direction, both the moving bodies 53 and 53 move so as to be separated in the opening / closing body width direction. Further, when the screw shaft 51 is rotated in the opposite direction, both the moving bodies 53 and 53 move so as to approach each other.

  Each support bracket 52 is fixed to an end portion side of each guide rail 20 in the opening / closing body opening direction, and rotatably supports the end portion side of the screw shaft 51 via a bearing member such as a bearing. .

  Each moving body 53 is screwed onto the outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft 51. More specifically, one of the left and right moving bodies 53, 53 is a male screw portion 51a on one half side of the screw shaft 51. The other is screwed into a male screw portion 51 b on the other half side of the screw shaft 51. And each moving body 53 is pivotally attached to the upper end side of each bending suppression member 40 so that rotation is possible.

In addition, although the said structure has shown the especially preferable aspect with favorable productivity, the screw shaft 51 which has the male screw part 51a, and the screw shaft 51 which has the male screw part 51a are each opened / closed body opening-closing direction. It is also possible to arrange them in parallel with the opening / closing body thickness direction.
In this case, the position in the opening / closing body opening / closing direction of the pivoting portion on the upper end side of one deflection suppressing member 40 is substantially the same as the position in the opening / closing body opening / closing direction of the pivoting portion on the upper end side of the other deflection suppressing member 40. Preferably, the position is set. According to this structure, the intersection of both the bending suppression members 40 and 40 in a bending suppression position can be arrange | positioned in the approximate center of the width direction of the opening / closing body 10. FIG. Therefore, the design characteristics of the two deflection suppressing members 40 and 40 at the deflection suppressing position are good, and the deflection suppressing action by the deflection suppressing members 40 and 40 can be effectively obtained.

Further, as the drive source for rotating the screw shaft 51, for example, an AC or DC rotary motor is used and controlled to rotate in a predetermined direction in conjunction with the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body 10. .
As another aspect of the drive source, the rotational force of the winding shaft 31 of the winding device 30 is transmitted to the moving mechanism 50 by a power transmission mechanism such as a chain and sprocket, a belt and a pulley, or a plurality of gears. It is good also as a mechanism.
Furthermore, as another aspect of the drive source, a manual operation handle such as a circular handle or a crank handle is provided, and the rotational force when the handle is manually rotated is changed to a chain and a sprocket, a belt and a pulley. Alternatively, a mechanism for transmitting to the moving mechanism 50 by a power transmission mechanism such as a plurality of gears may be used.

In addition, the winding device 30 includes a winding shaft 31 that winds and unwinds the opening / closing body 10, and a storage case 32 that stores the winding shaft 31 and the opening / closing body 10 wound around the winding shaft 31. Etc., and the upper ends of the left and right guide rails 20 and 20 are inserted into the storage case 32 so as to be disposed across the opening / closing body width direction.
The winding device 30 includes an aspect in which the opening / closing body 10 is manually opened / closed, an aspect in which the opening / closing body 10 is electrically opened / closed, and the opening / closing body 10 depending on the weight of the opening / closing body 10 and the weight. Any aspect, such as an aspect in which the opening / closing body 10 is opened by the weight of the weight body, an aspect in which the opening / closing body 10 is opened / closed by appropriately combining these aspects, It doesn't matter.

Moreover, the bending suppression member 40 is comprised from the two link pieces 41 and 42 pivoted so that the other might rotate relative to one.
Each of the link pieces 41 and 42 is a substantially long metal member. These link pieces 41 and 42 are arranged substantially linearly over substantially the entire diagonal length of the opening / closing body 10 in the closed state, and one of the link pieces 41 and 42 is interposed via a shaft member or the like so as to be rotatable with respect to the other. It is pivotally attached.
The link pieces 41 and 42 are pivotally attached at one end thereof to the movable body 53 and pivotally attached at the other end to the pivot bracket 21 at substantially the entire length thereof.

The pivoting location of the deflection suppressing member 40 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 2, the pivoting location of both link pieces 41 and 42 is defined as a pivoting point 40a, and the pivotal attachment of the link piece 41 and the support bracket 52 is performed. If the location is the pivot point 40b and the pivot point between the link piece 42 and the pivot bracket 21 is the pivot point 40c, the pivot point 40a is a virtual straight line connecting the pivot point 40b and the pivot point 40c. It is arranged on the above-mentioned storage position side (according to FIG. 2, on the upper left side) with respect to 40bc.
According to this structure, if both the moving bodies 53 and 53 are moved so that the space | interval may narrow, the pivot point 40b can be moved to the said storage position side (according to FIG. 2 diagonally upper left). .

Next, the effect of the opening / closing device 1 having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.
First, in an initial state in which the opening / closing body 10 is fully opened (see FIG. 1A), each of the bending suppression members 40, 40 is bent between the link pieces 41, 42 so that the opening a The storage position is stored on the peripheral side of the. In this storage position, both the moving bodies 53, 53 of the moving mechanism 50 are located on the substantially central side in the opening / closing body width direction.
When the screw shaft 51 rotates in a predetermined direction in accordance with the closing operation of the opening / closing body 10, both the moving bodies 53, 53 move to both ends in the opening / closing body width direction so as to be separated from each other.

Then, both the link pieces 41 and 42 of each bending suppression member 40 rotate so as to widen the angle between the link pieces 41 and the link pieces 42.
When both the moving bodies 53 and 53 are close to the guide rail 20 on the traveling direction side, and the link piece 41 and the link piece 42 of each bending suppression member 40 are arranged substantially linearly, both the bending suppression is performed. The members 40, 40 are in a bending suppression position that suppresses the bending of the opening / closing body 10.

In this state, when the opening / closing body 10 is bent toward the deflection suppressing member 40 side in the thickness direction due to strong wind or the like, the bent opening / closing body 10 abuts on both the deflection suppressing members 40, so that the bending occurs. Will be suppressed.
Moreover, in this state, since both the bending suppression members 40 are arranged in a crossing manner on the center side of the opening a, a criminal act of a third party who intends to break the opening / closing body 10 and invade it. It can also interfere.

  Further, when the opening / closing body 10 is opened / closed, the operation is opposite to that described above, and each moving body 53 moves toward a substantially central side in the opening / closing body width direction. Then, each bending suppression member 40 rotates so as to be bent while narrowing the angle between the link piece 41 and the link piece 42.

In addition, each bending suppression member 40 arrange | positions the pivot point 40a between the link pieces 41 and 42 in the bending suppression position rather than the virtual straight line 40bc which connects the pivot point 40b and the pivot point 40c. ing. Therefore, when rotating as described above, the pivot point 40a smoothly moves toward the storage position.
That is, if the pivot point 40a between the link pieces 41 and 42 is located on the virtual straight line 40bc connecting the pivot point 40b and the pivot point 40c, or below the virtual straight line 40bc. The link piece 41 and the link piece 42 may be bent so as to be bent in the opposite direction. However, in a preferable example of the present embodiment, such a rotation in the opposite direction is prevented. Become.

The means for preventing the link piece 41 and the link piece 42 from rotating in the reverse direction is not limited to the configuration of the opening / closing device 1, and for example, as in the opening / closing device 2 shown in FIG. It may be.
In the opening / closing device 2, the link pieces 41 and the link pieces 42 of the respective bending suppression members 40 are arranged with their corners directed toward the storage position in a state where the link pieces 41 and the link pieces 42 are bent in a substantially square shape. I am doing so.
According to the opening / closing device 2, the pivot point 40 a pivotally connecting the link piece 41 and the link piece 42 at the deflection suppression position is the pivot point 40 b on one end side of the deflection suppression member 40 and the pivot point 40 b on the other end side. It is located closer to the storage position than the virtual straight line 40bc connecting the pivot point 40c.
Therefore, if the opening / closing body 10 is opened and the moving body 53 is moved to the approximate center side of the screw shaft 51, the pivot point 40a of the link piece 41 and the link piece 42 moves smoothly to the storage position side. It will be.

  In the opening / closing device 1 and the opening / closing device 2, a preferred example in which the bending strength of the two bending suppression members 40 is improved by arranging the two bending suppression members 40 in an intersecting manner is shown. It is also possible to have a simple structure in which the suppressing member 40 is omitted.

  Next, another example of the switchgear according to the present invention will be described in detail. In addition, in the other examples of the switchgear described below, the same reference numerals as those of the switchgear 1 are used for the components that are substantially the same as those of the switchgear 1 described above, thereby omitting redundant detailed description.

The opening / closing device 3 shown in FIG. 4 can be roughly described as a configuration in which the deflection suppressing member 40, the pivot bracket 21, the moving mechanism 50, and the like in the opening / closing device 1 are replaced with a deflection suppressing member 60.
When the deflection suppressing member 60 is in the storage position, the two link pieces 61 and 62 are arranged in a substantially L shape along the corner side of the opening a (see FIG. 4A), When in the bending suppression position, the two link pieces 61 and 62 are arranged in a substantially straight line extending in the opening / closing body opening / closing direction.

  If it demonstrates in detail, this bending suppression member 60 will connect two metal link pieces 61 and 62 via the hinge member 63, and will fix the upper end side of the link piece 61 by the side of an opening-and-closing body opening direction. It is pivotally attached to the storage case 32 as a part so as to freely rotate.

The link piece 61 on the base end side is formed to a length that brings the tip end side close to the guide rail 20 at the storage position along the lower surface of the storage case 32 (state of FIG. 4A).
Further, the link piece 62 on the rotating end side (the lower end side in FIG. 4B) includes a locking projection 62a (see FIG. 5) for locking to a vertical frame member 70 described later at the storage position. ing. The locking projection 62 a is disposed at a position on the storage position side on the distal end side of the link piece 62.

The hinge member 63 is a known member that rotates the other piece relative to the one piece. The one piece is fixed to the link piece 61 and the other piece is fixed to the link piece 62. is doing. The fixing location is a portion (left surface in FIG. 4) on the opposite side of the storage position side portion (right surface in FIG. 4) of both link pieces 61 and 62.
Therefore, both the link pieces 61 and 62 in the bending suppression position rotate so as to be bent only toward the storage position, and are supported so as not to be bent in the opposite direction.

In addition, an engagement member 64 having a concave cross section that fits the lower end of the deflection suppressing member 60 at the deflection suppressing position is fixed to the contact target portion b.
The engaging member 64 prevents the lower end side of the bending suppression member 60 at the bending suppression position from swinging to at least one side in the opening / closing body thickness direction.
In addition, according to the example of illustration, this engaging member 64 protrudes upwards rather than the contact object site | part b, However, It may be made not to obstruct passage by being embedded in the contact object site | part b. .
Further, the engagement member 64 may be configured to prevent the lower end side of the bending suppression member 60 at the bending suppression position from swinging to at least one side in the opening / closing body width direction.

In addition, a vertical frame member 70 is fixed to the guide rail 20 on the storage position side for abutting the link piece 42 of the bending suppression member 40 when stored.
The vertical frame member 70 is formed with a locking hole 71 for engaging and disengaging the locking projection 62 a of the link piece 62.

  According to the opening / closing device 3 configured as described above, when the opening / closing body 10 is substantially fully opened, the deflection suppressing member 60 has the link piece 61 along the storage case 32 and the link piece 62 along the vertical frame member 70. It is housed in a substantially horizontal L-shape (see FIG. 4A). In this storage position, the bending suppression member 40 does not rotate due to its own weight because the locking protrusion 62 a of the link piece 62 is engaged with the locking hole 71 of the vertical frame member 70.

When the opening / closing body 10 is almost fully closed, if the locking protrusion 62a is removed from the locking hole 71 and the bending suppressing member 60 is rotated downward, the bending suppressing member 60 can be opened and closed. It is erected in a substantially vertical shape over the direction, and becomes a bending suppression position (see FIG. 4B).
In this state, when the opening / closing body 10 bends toward the bending suppression member 60 due to strong wind or the like, the bent opening / closing body 10 abuts against the bending suppression member 60, so that the bending of the opening / closing body 10 is suppressed.

  When the bending suppression member 60 is housed, the bending suppression member 60 is rotated in the reverse direction by bending in the reverse operation to engage the locking protrusion 62a of the link piece 62 with the locking hole 71. If combined, the bending suppression member 60 is maintained in the storage position.

According to the opening / closing device 3, the storage state of the deflection suppressing member 60 and the uneven engagement between the locking projection 62 a on the link piece 62 side and the locking hole 71 on the vertical frame member 70 side are maintained. However, the concavo-convex relationship may be reversed from that shown in the figure.
Further, according to the opening / closing device 3, the link piece 62 is engaged / disengaged with respect to the vertical frame member 70, but the link piece 62 may be directly engaged / disengaged with respect to the guide rail 20. Is possible.

  Further, according to the opening / closing device 3 of the illustrated example, the bending suppression member 60 when in the bending suppression position is disposed substantially vertically along the opening / closing body opening / closing direction (see FIG. 4B). The lower end of the bending restraining member 60 is located so as to be shifted in the opening / closing body width direction with respect to the upper end (in other words, the bending restraining member 60 in the bending restraining position is inclined with respect to the opening / closing body opening / closing direction). Arrangement).

  Further, according to the illustrated opening / closing device 3, the link piece 62 and the guide rail 20 in the storage position are arranged in the opening / closing body width direction (see FIG. 4A), but the link in the storage position. You may comprise so that the piece 62 may be located in a line with the opening-and-closing body thickness direction of the guide rail 20. FIG. In the case of this configuration, for example, a locking protrusion (not shown) that replaces the locking protrusion 62a is provided on the guide rail 20 side so as to protrude in the opening / closing body thickness direction. The link piece 62 may be locked by the locking protrusion.

  Further, in the opening / closing device 3, when the locking protrusion 62 a is removed from the locking hole 71, an operation relaxation means such as a damper device is provided so that the bending suppression member 60 does not swing suddenly in the direction of the bending suppression position. You may provide in the pivotal attachment part of the link piece 61. FIG.

  Moreover, according to the opening / closing device 3 in the illustrated example, the single deflection suppressing member 60 having the base end side pivoting position as the substantially central side in the opening / closing body width direction is illustrated, but as another example, one guide The structure which provided the single or several bending suppression member (not shown) which makes the rail 20 side a storage position, and the single or several bending suppression member (not shown) which makes the other guide rail 20 side a storage position. It is also possible.

In addition, the opening / closing device 3 in the illustrated example shows an example in which the opening / closing direction of the opening / closing body is the vertical direction. However, when the opening / closing body opening / closing direction is the left / right direction, It is preferable that the storage position of the link piece 62 is on the upper side so as not to obstruct.
Further, according to the opening / closing device 3 described above, the bending restraining member 60 is constituted by the link piece 61 and the link piece 62, but the link piece 62 is omitted and the swing end side of the link piece 61 is extended. The extended swing end side may be engaged with the contact target portion b at the bending suppression position. In the case of this configuration, the swing end side of the link piece 61 when in the storage position may be engaged with the guide rail 20 by the locking projection 62a or the like. For example, the opening / closing body width of the opening a When the direction dimension is larger than the dimension of the opening / closing body opening / closing direction and the swing end side of the link piece 61 does not reach the guide rail 20, the swing end portion of the link piece 61 at the storage position is What is necessary is just to set it as the structure latched to the storage case 32. FIG.

Next, the opening / closing device 4 shown in FIG. 6 will be described.
If roughly described, the opening / closing device 4 is configured by replacing the configurations of the deflection suppressing member 40, the pivot bracket 21, the moving mechanism 50, and the like in the opening / closing device 1 with a deflection suppressing member 80.

(See FIG. 6A).
In addition, when the opening / closing body 10 is closed from this storage position, the angle between the link piece 81 and the link piece 82 is widened with the movement of the seat plate member 12 in the closing direction, and the deflection suppressing member 80 is moved. The whole is extended in the closing body closing direction.
When the opening / closing body 10 is substantially fully closed, the bending suppressing member 80 becomes a bending suppressing position close to the opening / closing body 10 in the opening / closing direction of the opening / closing body 10.
In this state, when the opening / closing body 10 is bent toward the deflection suppressing member 80 due to strong wind or the like, the bent opening / closing body 10 abuts against the bending suppressing member 80, so that the bending of the opening / closing body 10 can be suppressed. .

Moreover, according to the said structure, since the bending suppression member 80 in a bending suppression position is a state which can be expanded-contracted to an up-down direction, also with respect to the opening / closing apparatus from which the dimension of the opening-and-closing body opening-closing direction differs. It is possible to install.
In addition, although the said bending suppression member 80 has shown the example which comprised the left and right link pieces 81, 81, 82, 82 in the shape of a pantograph, it has a meandering configuration in which either the left or right link pieces 81, 82 are omitted. It is also possible to do.
Moreover, although the said bending suppression member 80 is set as the structure which pivotally attached the two link pieces 81 and 82 in each of the right-and-left side, it is also possible to set it as the structure which pivotally attached the three or more link pieces. .

Although the position to be worn is shifted in the opening / closing body opening / closing direction (see FIG. 6A), it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which both pivoting positions are substantially the same in the opening / closing body opening / closing direction. .
Further, according to the opening / closing device 4 in the illustrated example, one end side of the left and right link pieces 81 and 81 and the link pieces 82 and 82 are pivoted to the same place (storage case 32), and the other end side is also the same place. The left link piece 81 and the link piece 82 and the right link piece 81 and the link piece 82 are separately pivoted to the storage case 32 and the seat plate member 12, respectively. You may make it wear.
In addition, according to the opening / closing device 4 of the illustrated example, the lower end of the bending suppression member 80 is pivotally attached to the seat plate member 12 so that the operation of the bending suppression member 80 and the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body 10 are interlocked. However, as another aspect, it is also possible to remove the lower end of the deflection suppressing member 80 from the seat plate member 12 so that the deflection suppressing member 80 and the opening / closing body 10 operate independently.

Next, the opening / closing device 5 shown in FIG. 7 will be described.
If roughly described, the opening / closing device 5 is configured by replacing the configurations of the deflection suppressing member 40, the pivot bracket 21, the moving mechanism 50, and the like in the opening / closing device 1 with a deflection suppressing member 90.
The bending suppression member 90 connects a plurality of (three in the illustrated example) slide members 91, 92, and 93 so that the entire length of the slide members 91, 92, and 93 expands and contracts by sliding between adjacent slide members. In addition, it is pivotally attached to one guide rail 20 which is an immobile part via a bracket or the like.

In the opening / closing device 5, the upper engaging member 111 has a substantially L-shaped cross section in which the other end side of the slide member 93 is inserted and mounted from the inside in the opening / closing body width direction, a substantially C-shaped cross section, and a substantially cross-sectional shape. It may be replaced with a receiving member having an O-shape or a substantially U-shaped cross section.
Moreover, according to the example of illustration, although the pivot attachment part and the engaging members 111 and 112 of the bending suppression member 80 are arrange | positioned between the left and right guide rails 20 and 20, as another aspect, a bending suppression member The positions of the 80 pivotally attached portions and the one guide rail 20 in the opening / closing body width direction are substantially the same, and the positions of the engaging members 111 and 112 and the other guide rail 20 in the opening / closing body width direction are also substantially the same. The opening a may be secured more widely.
Moreover, according to the example of illustration, although the bending suppression member 90 in a bending suppression position was rotated upwards and it accommodated in the position along the winding device 30, as another aspect, it is in a bending suppression position. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a certain deflection suppressing member 90 is rotated in the opening / closing body width direction and stored at a position along the guide rail 20.

Next, the opening / closing device 6 shown in FIG. 9 omits the engaging members 111 and 112 and the string-like member 94 from the opening / closing device 5 described above, and the tip of the bending suppressing member 90 is used as the seat plate member of the opening / closing body 10. It is pivotally attached to 12.
If it demonstrates in detail, the bending suppression member 90 will connect the front-end | tip of the slide member 93 on the most front side with respect to the seat board member 12 so that rotation is possible.

According to the opening / closing device 6 having this configuration, the deflection suppressing member 90 is maintained at the storage position along the seat plate member 12 in a state where the opening / closing body 10 is substantially fully opened.
When the opening / closing body 10 is closed, the deflection suppressing member 90 is gradually extended while being rotated in the opening / closing body closing direction by pulling the slide member 93 at the foremost side thereof.
In a state where the opening / closing body 10 is substantially fully closed, the bending suppression member 90 is disposed on the diagonal line of the opening / closing body 10 to suppress the bending of the opening / closing body 10.
Further, when the opening / closing body 10 is opened, the reverse operation is performed, and the bending suppression member 90 is pulled in the opening / closing body opening direction by the seat plate member 12 and gradually contracted while rotating, The storage position.
