  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the guide rail 4 is a long member having a substantially U-shaped cross-section with a downward opening and having hanging plates 27, 27 provided from both side edges of the upper plate 26. A pair of sliding pieces 28, 28 projecting from the inner surfaces of 27, 27 across the entire length. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a guide roller 3 having a vertical rotating shaft 29 protrudes upward from the inside of the groove 20 of the upper frame 12 at the lateral center of the movable panel 1. Is held between both the hanging plates 27, 27 so as to be able to roll above the sliding pieces 28, 28. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rotation shaft 29 of the guide roller 3 can rotate and slide up and down on a hat-type holding base 30 fixed in the recessed groove portion 20 of the upper frame 12. And a compression coil spring 33 is interposed between the locking ring 31 at the lower end of the rotating shaft 29 and the upper surface plate 32 of the holding base 30 so as to face downward with respect to the ascent of the rotating shaft 29 and the guide roller 3. It is elastically biased. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, sliders 34, 34 are fitted into engagement grooves 22, 22 formed in both vertical plates 19, 19 of the upper frame 12, and the sliders 34, 34 are attached to the guide rail 4. The movable panel 1 can be smoothly moved by being in sliding contact with the outer surfaces of the both hanging plates 27 and 27.

  Although a guide slider can be used instead of the guide roller 3, it is preferable to use the guide roller 3 in order to move the moving panel 1 smoothly. Further, the sliders 34 and 34 may be provided on the outer surfaces of the both hanging plates 27 and 27 of the guide rail 4 and slidably contact the inner surfaces of both the vertical plates 19 and 19 forming the groove 20. From this point of view, it is preferable to provide the inner surfaces of both vertical plates 19 and 19 as in the present embodiment.

  More specifically, the guide rail 4 is formed of a long aluminum extrusion mold material in which the sliding pieces 28 and 28 are formed at the upper and lower intermediate positions of the both hanging plates 27 and 27, and the direction corresponding to the one side end portion. Both hanging plates 27, 27 below the sliding pieces 28, 28 of the conversion part 4A are cut out to form a notch 35, the moving panel 1 is in a vertical posture and the rolling wheel 2 is in contact with the floor F. In this state, the sliders 34 and 34 of the vertical plates 19 and 19 of the moving panel 1 are in sliding contact with the hanging plates 27 and 27 of the series holding unit 4B and the moving panel is moved from the hanging plates 27 and 27 of the direction changing unit 4A. The height is set so that one vertical plate 19, 19 becomes lower.

  Thereby, when the movable panel 1 is in a vertical posture and the rolling wheel 2 is in contact with the floor surface F, the vertical plates 19 and 19 of the movable panel 1 are placed on the hanging plates 27 and 27 of the series holding portion 4B of the guide rail 4. Since the sliders 34 are in sliding contact with each other, the movable panel 1 can be stably linearly moved along the guide rail 4 without rotating, and the plurality of movable panels 1 can be aligned on a straight line. (See FIG. 1 (a)). Further, in the direction changing portion 4A of the guide rail 4, a notch 35 is formed in the direction changing portion 4A, and the height is set so that the vertical plates 19, 19 of the movable panel 1 are lower than the hanging plates 27, 27. Therefore, the movable panel 1 can be rotated around the vertical rotation axis 29. In this way, in the direction changing portion 4A of the guide rail 4, the movable panels 1,... Can be rotated one after another and overlapped in parallel with each other and stored compactly (see FIG. 1B).

  Here, in order to secure a space for receiving each of the moving panels 1,... In the direction changing part 4 </ b> A at the wall side end of the direction changing part 4 </ b> A of the guide rail 4, An open / close panel 6 that can be rotated horizontally is provided. In the present embodiment, the opening / closing panel 6 is connected to one side end of the movable panel 1 located at the end by a hinge 36 so as to be rotatable. The reason why the open / close panel 6 is hinged to the movable panel 1 located at the end as in the present embodiment is that a plurality of the guide rails 4 are provided in parallel to the ceiling S of the room and the auxiliary guide intersects with them. This is because a rail is provided, and the movable panel 1,... And the opening / closing panel 6 are forwarded to the selected guide rail 4 by using the auxiliary guide rail, so that the compartment size of the indoor space can be adjusted.

  Then, in order to stably maintain the posture of the movable panel 1 moved to a predetermined position, the lift mechanism 5 provided at the lower end of each movable panel 1 is operated to press against the floor surface F, and the rolling wheels 2 are moved to the floor. Lift from surface F. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the movable panel 1 located in the series holding unit 4B is movable, and FIG. 6 shows a state in which the movable panel 1 located in the series holding unit 4B is levitated by the lift mechanism 5, respectively. . 7 and 8 show a state in which the movable panel 1 located in the direction changing portion 4A is movable, and FIGS. 9 and 10 show movement in which the movable panel 1 located in the direction changing portion 4A is levitated by the lift mechanism 5. Each indicates an impossible state.

  Here, even if the movable panel 1 positioned in the direction changing portion 4A is lifted by the lift mechanism 5, the upper ends of the vertical plates 19 and 19 of the upper frame 12 and the notches of the hanging plates 27 and 27 of the guide rail 4 are cut. Since there is a space between it and the portion 35, the closing member 37 is provided in the recessed groove portion 20 of the upper frame 12 so as to be adjustable in height so as to fill this space, and along the both side edges of the upper surface of the closing member 37. Thus, flexible contact members 38 and 38 are provided so as to abut on the lower surfaces of the sliding pieces 28 and 28. The outer surface of the closing member 37 is located on an extension line of the hanging plates 27 and 27 of the direction changing portion 4A and is similar in appearance to the hanging plates 27 and 27 of the series holding portion 4B. The presence of the notch 35 of the guide rail 4 is made inconspicuous. Here, the contact member 38 may have a brush shape.

  Next, an embodiment of the lift mechanism 5 will be described based on FIGS. 4, 5, 10, and 12. In this embodiment, the rolling wheels 2,... Are unitized, and the unit is mounted in the recessed groove portion 20 of the lower frame 13. The unit includes a fixing member 39 having a substantially U-shaped cross-section with a downward opening and a base board member 40 having a substantially U-shaped cross-section with an upward opening, which is fixed in the recessed groove portion 20 of the lower frame 13. It has rolling wheels 2,... Fixed to both ends and the center in the groove 41. The baseboard member 40 has a width that can be inserted into the concave groove 41 of the fixing member 39, and an opening 43 that passes through the rolling wheels 2 is formed on the lower surface 42. And the guide member 44 which formed the inclined guide surface 45 in the lower surface is attached to the right-and-left both ends of the said fixing member 39, and the roller 46 which rolls the said inclined guide surface 45 on the upper surface side of the said baseboard member 40 is attached. A tension coil spring 48 is provided between the fixing member 39 and the baseboard member 40 so as to be elastically biased between the fixing member 39 and the baseboard member 40. . When the fixing member 39 is mounted in the recessed groove portion 20 of the lower frame 13, the rolling wheels 2,... Protrude from the lower end of the panel body 9.

  More specifically, the guide member 44 is a block-like member in which a protrusion 49 is formed at the center of the lower surface and the inclined guide surfaces 45, 45 are formed on both sides thereof. The inclined guide surface 45 has recesses 50 and 50 that engage the roller 46 in a metastable state at the uppermost portion and the lowermost portion, and a continuous inclined curved surface therebetween. The support member 47 is a U-shaped member having a pair of rollers 46 on both sides thereof. The tension coil spring 48 elastically biases the baseboard member 40 obliquely upward so that the roller 46 engages with the uppermost recess 50. Here, when the baseboard member 40 is in an unloaded state, it is raised by the elastic biasing force of the tension coil spring 48, and the roller 46 is engaged with the uppermost recess 50 of the inclined guide surface 45, and the movable panel 1 is set so that one end of the baseboard member 40 protrudes laterally from the side end on the front side in the moving direction 1.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the baseboard member 40 is raised, the baseboard member 40 is received in the recessed groove portion 20 of the lower frame 13, and the compatible upper plates 51 and 51 are connected to the vertical frame 11. Are located in the slit grooves 25, 25. Further, the protruding end portion of the baseboard member 40 is provided with a hard synthetic resin contact member 52 whose end shape is the same as the outer shape of the rubber packing 10. Further, the engagement grooves 22 and 22 on the inner surfaces of the lower ends of the vertical plates 19 and 19 of the lower frame 13 are provided with sliders 53 and 53 slidably in contact with the outer surface of the baseboard member 40 to prevent back and forth rattling. Yes.

  And when the said movable panel 1 is moved along the said guide rail 4, and the contact member 52 of the protrusion part of the said baseboard member 40 is made to collide with the side end of the wall surface W or the other preceding movable panel 1, A lateral external force is applied so that the baseboard member 40 is pushed relatively below the panel body 9 by the impact force. Actually, the baseboard member 40 is stopped and restricted in movement, but a relative lateral external force acts by the inertial force of the panel body 9. Accordingly, as the roller 46 rolls down the inclined guide surface 45, the baseboard member 40 descends, and finally reaches the position where it engages with the lowermost recess 50, the baseboard member 40 Is positioned directly below the panel body 9. In other words, the guide member 44 having the inclined guide surface 45 auctions on the stationary roller 46 and the panel body 9 is lifted. As a result, the rolling wheels 2,... Float up and the baseboard member 40 comes into pressure contact with the floor surface F to enter a movement restricted state (see FIG. 12B).

  Here, in the movement restricting state where the baseboard member 40 is pressed against the floor surface F and located immediately below the panel body 9, the roller 46 is engaged in the metastable state with the concave portion 50 at the lowermost portion of the inclined guide surface 45. Furthermore, the elastic biasing force of the tension coil spring 48 acts in the direction in which the panel body 9 is retracted, that is, the concave portion 50 acts in the direction away from the roller 46. Since 40 is only in pressure contact with the floor F, it is difficult to say that it is stable. In particular, since the movable panel 1 located in the direction changing portion 4A is only supported by the guide roller 3 at the center of the upper end, there is a risk of rotating or shifting in the front-rear and left-right directions.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 11, the cross-sectional shape of the rubber packing 10 is devised so that the rubber packings 10, 10 at the side ends of the adjacent moving panels 1, 1 are concavo-convexly fitted. A stopper 8 that engages with the floor surface F is provided at the lower end on the rear side in the movement direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 and 12 to 14, the stopper 8 is made of metal at the lower end of a main body portion 54 made of hard synthetic resin having the same cross-sectional shape as the outer cross-sectional shape of the rubber packing 10. The pins 55 are provided so that the longitudinal grooves 56 formed on both sides of the main body 54 are slidably engaged with the distal bent portions 57 57 of the pair of locking pieces 17 17 of the vertical frame 11. The main body 54 is lowered to drop the pin 55 into an engagement hole 58 formed in advance at a predetermined position on the floor surface F so as to be engaged. Here, the position where the stopper 8 is provided is ensured by shortening the lower end of the rubber packing 10, and when the stopper 8 is raised, the rubber packing 10 comes into contact with the outer appearance.

  Further, the stopper 8 is not lowered by its own weight due to the frictional force between the longitudinal grooves 56, 56 and the bent end portions 57, 57 of the locking pieces 17, 17, but as shown in FIG. A pin 59 may be provided on the upper end of the main body portion 54 so that the pin 59 is fitted into the hollow portion 60 of the rubber packing 10 and held.

  The main body 54 of the stopper 8 of the movable panel 1 arranged in series in advance is in contact with the contact member 52 at the tip of the baseboard member 40 of the subsequent movable panel 1 and the main body 54. Although the contact member 52 is displaced downward with the contact member 52 being in contact with each other, since it is made of a hard synthetic resin and has excellent slidability, a smooth sliding operation can be realized.

  In the case where the movable panel 1 is moved along the guide rail 4 and stored from the state where the rolling base member 40 is pressed against the floor surface F and the rolling wheels 2 are lifted (movement restricted state). First, the stopper 8 is lifted to remove the pin 55 from the engagement hole 58 of the floor F and pull it with the side of the panel main body 9 to disengage the lowermost recess 50 from the roller 46. The panel body 9 is lowered by the weight of the panel body 9 and the rolling wheels 2,... Are grounded to the floor surface F, and the baseboard member 40 is moved up by the elastic biasing force of the tension coil spring 48. It becomes a state.

  Next, based on FIGS. 2-5, the smoother 7 provided in the upper end part of the moving direction front side of the said movement panel 1 is demonstrated. As described above, since the step 4C is provided at the boundary between the direction changing portion 4A and the series holding portion 4B of the guide rail 4, the movement of the movable panel 1 from the direction changing portion 4A to the series holding portion 4B is prevented. A smoother 7 is provided for smooth operation.
