Was restricted from moving.

JP 2003-138644 A

However, in the covering member of Patent Document 1, since the holding bolt is brought into contact with a handrail on the lower side of the covering member and the movement is restricted by the frictional force, when the handrail and the waist wall are wet due to rain, There is a possibility that the movement restricting force due to the contact of the holding bolts may be reduced. In particular, when the wind and rain are strong, there is a possibility that the covering member moves because the wind becomes strong as the movement restriction force decreases.
An object of the present invention is to provide a coating apparatus that can improve the movement restriction force and prevent the movement of the coating member due to wind or the like.

  The covering device of the present invention is provided with a lower rail and an upper rail provided on a floor and a ceiling, respectively, suspended and supported by the upper rail, and guided by the lower rail so as to be movable along the upper and lower rails. And a movement restricting means capable of restricting the movement of the covering member, the movement restricting means projecting from an operating member provided on a vertical shaft of the covering member and an upper arm of the covering member A vertical movement member that moves up and down in conjunction with the operation of the operation member, and an engagement portion that is formed on the upper rail and that can be engaged with the vertical movement member, and is moved up and down by operation of the operation member The movement of the covering member is regulated by moving the member upward and engaging the engaging portion.

In the present invention and each invention described below, the covering device is provided, for example, along a handrail provided in an outdoor space of a building or along a sash provided in a window of the building. In addition, handrail means the wall-shaped part provided standing from the floor of the outdoor space in the outdoor space of buildings, such as a balcony of a building, a veranda, and an exterior corridor. As this handrail, various types of handrails can be used, such as a lattice-shaped object composed of handrails (pillars) and headboards, and a sheet-shaped one composed of a waist wall and headboards.
A sash is a general sash that constitutes a sliding window or a casement window of a building. The covering device may be arranged along the indoor side of the sash, that is, the rail may be provided on the floor and the ceiling of the building room, and the covering member may be moved along the rail, or along the outdoor side of the sash. In other words, rails may be provided on the floor and ceiling of an outdoor space such as a balcony, and the covering member may be moved along the rails.
Moreover, as an engaging part formed in the upper rail, for example, a hole into which a vertically moving member can be inserted may be used, or a protrusion to which the vertically moving member can be locked may be used.

In the present invention, a hole provided in the upper rail as a movement restricting means for restricting movement of a covering member provided in a building such as a balcony, a veranda, a condominium or an exterior corridor of an apartment or an indoor space. A member that engages with an engaging portion such as a protrusion to restrict the movement of the covering member is used.
For this reason, since the movement restricting means can mechanically engage the vertical movement member with the engaging portion, the restricting force for restricting the movement of the covering member can be increased, and the covering member can be reliably stopped. .
In addition, when the engaging portion is provided on the lower rail, there is a possibility that dust or the like accumulates in the engaging portion and cannot be engaged. However, in the present invention, the engaging portion is provided on the upper rail, so the lower surface is opened. It can be engaged by inserting a vertical movement member into the hole. For this reason, the vertical movement member can be reliably engaged with the engaging portion without dust or the like collecting in the engaging portion.

  The covering device of the present invention is provided with a lower rail and an upper rail provided on a floor and a ceiling, respectively, suspended and supported by the upper rail, and guided by the lower rail so as to be movable along the upper and lower rails. And a movement restricting means capable of restricting the movement of the covering member, the movement restricting means projecting from an operating member provided on a vertical shaft of the covering member and an upper arm of the covering member And a vertically moving member that moves up and down in conjunction with the operation of the operating member, and when the operating member is operated, the vertically moving member is moved upward, and the vertically moving member is pressed against the upper rail. It is characterized by restricting movement.

In the present invention, as the movement restricting means for restricting the movement of the covering member, a member that pushes the upper rail and restricts the movement of the covering member by its frictional force is used.
For this reason, even when the covering member is provided in the outdoor space and it is raining, the upper rail is provided in the back of the ceiling of the balcony or the like, so it hardly gets wet by the rain, and the movement restricting means However, even when the movement of the covering member is restricted by the frictional force, the movement restricting force can be prevented from being lowered, and the movement of the covering member can be reliably restricted.
Furthermore, since the up-and-down moving member is pressed against the upper rail and the movement of the covering member is regulated by the frictional force, the covering member can be stopped at a free position along the upper rail.
The vertical movement member may be provided with a resin-made pressing pad or the like to improve the frictional force, that is, the movement restricting force when pressed against the upper rail.

  The covering device of the present invention is provided with a lower rail and an upper rail provided on a floor and a ceiling, respectively, suspended and supported by the upper rail, and guided by the lower rail so as to be movable along the upper and lower rails. And a movement restricting means capable of restricting the movement of the covering member, the movement restricting means projecting from an operating member provided on a vertical shaft of the covering member and an upper arm of the covering member A vertical movement member that moves up and down in conjunction with the operation of the operation member, and an engaging portion that is formed on the upper rail and that can be engaged with the vertical movement member, and that moves up and down by the operation of the operation member. The movement of the covering member is regulated by moving the member upward and engaging the vertical movement member with the engaging portion or pressing the vertical movement member against the upper rail.

Also in the present invention, as the movement restricting means for restricting the movement of the covering member, it is possible to restrict the movement of the covering member by engaging the vertical moving member with the engaging portion of the upper rail and to push the vertical moving member to the upper rail. Then, the one that can regulate the movement of the covering member by the friction force is used.
Therefore, by mechanically engaging the vertically moving member with an engaging portion such as a hole formed in the upper rail, the movement restricting force of the covering member can be increased, and the covering member can be stopped reliably. Since the upper rail is pushed up and down by the upper rail and the movement of the covering member can be restricted by the frictional force, the covering member can be stopped at a free position along the upper rail.
That is, when the wind is strong, the vertical movement member is mechanically engaged with the engaging portion such as the hole of the upper rail to prevent the covering member from being moved by the wind. By pressing the upper rail, the covering member can be stopped at a free position, and usability can be improved.

Here, it is preferable that the movement restricting means includes an urging means for urging the vertical movement member upward.
According to such a configuration, the vertical movement member can always be moved upward by the urging means, so that the vertical movement member is easily maintained in a state of being engaged with the engaging portion or pressed against the upper rail. can do. Therefore, the user only has to operate the operating member only when moving the covering member, and move the vertical movement member downward against the biasing force of the biasing means. If the operation of the member is released, it can be automatically stopped, the operability can be improved, and forgetting to apply it can be prevented.

Here, the covering member rotates the upper blade, the lower rod, and the pair of vertical rods that are assembled on the four sides, the louver blades rotatably disposed between the vertical rods, and the blades. It is preferable to provide blade rotation means.
If the covering member is provided with a louver blade, the light shielding / shading / ventilation in the covering member can be freely adjusted by adjusting the angle of the blade by the blade rotating means.

  Further, the upper rail and the lower rail are attached to the ceiling and the floor via fixing brackets, and each of the fixing brackets protrudes from a bottom portion bolted to the ceiling and the floor, and both indoor and outdoor ends of the bottom portion. The upper rail and the lower rail are provided with fin portions that are arranged along the respective rising portions and are screwed to the rising portions. preferable.

  According to such a structure, a fixing metal fitting can be arrange | positioned in the estimated dimension of a rail. For this reason, the space for mounting the rail can be reduced as compared with the case of using an angle member having an L-shaped cross section that is mounted across the indoor surface of the rail and the housing, and the fitting where the fixing bracket is not exposed to the balcony side is also possible. It can be easily adopted and the design can be improved.

Further, the upper rail includes a guide space that opens a lower surface and guides a door machine provided at an upper end of the covering device, and the movement restricting means is engaged with an upper rail provided facing the guide space. It is preferable to engage or press the vertical movement member on a surface.
The upper rail is formed in, for example, a substantially rectangular tube shape, the lower surface of the inner space is opened, and a guide space for guiding the door drive device is formed, and on the engagement surface of the upper rail provided on the upper surface of the guide space, If the vertical movement member of the movement restricting means is engaged or pressed, the engagement surface is formed to face the guide space communicated to the outside only by the lower surface opening. Since it is difficult to blow and there is a low possibility of rainwater or the like adhering to the engagement surface, it is possible to reliably secure the regulating force even when the movement regulating force is secured by the frictional force.

The fixture 50 includes a bottom portion 51 and a pair of rising portions 52 protruding from the indoor side end portion and the outdoor side end portion of the bottom portion 51 and is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section. The fixing bracket 50 is a long object (through material) and is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the upper rail 10 and the lower rail 20. Each of these fixing brackets 50 is fixed to the ceiling 4 and the floor 2 using anchor bolts 53 or the like.
In addition, since the upper surface of the floor 2 is inclined, the fixture 50 fixed to the floor 2 is disposed horizontally via a liner 56 or the like.

The upper rail 10 is formed in a substantially rectangular tube shape, and a pair of fin portions 11 are continuously formed on the upper surface along the longitudinal direction.
Similarly, the lower rail 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular tube shape, and a pair of fin portions 21 are continuously formed on the lower surface thereof along the longitudinal direction.
These fin portions 11 and 21 are arranged along the inner surface of the rising portion 52 of the fixing metal 50 and are fixed to the rising portion 52 by screws 54.
In addition, each fin part 11 and 21 may be arrange | positioned along the surface inside the balcony of each rising part 52 of the fixing metal 50, and conversely, it arrange | positions along the surface outside the balcony of each rising part 52. Also good.

  An opening (groove) 12 continuous in the longitudinal direction of the upper rail 10 is formed on the lower surface of the upper rail 10. Then, as will be described later, the door rail guide portion 13 that guides the door wheel 313 of the covering member 30 is formed by two horizontal plane portions arranged with the opening 12 in between on the upper rail 10. That is, a guide space that guides the door cart 313 is formed by the internal space of the upper rail 10, and an engagement surface portion 14 that defines the guide space is formed above the opening 12 in the upper rail 10.

On the upper surface of the lower rail 20, a single guide rail 22 that is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the lower rail 20 is formed.
The indoor side and the outdoor side of each fixing bracket 50 are sealed with a backup material 57 and a caulking material 58 filled between the ceiling 4 and the floor 2 and the rails 10 and 20.

[Composition of covering member]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the covering member 30 includes an upper rod 31, a lower rod 32, and left and right vertical rods 33 which are assembled into a square shape and assembled around each other.
As shown in FIG. 4, a cover member 34 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is attached to the vertical rod 33. Further, between the left and right vertical rods 33, specifically, between the cover members 34, louver blades 35 that are rotatably supported with respect to the cover member 34, that is, the vertical rods 33 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. ing.

[Louvre configuration]
Each blade 35 is configured to rotate by rotating a dial 36 exposed on the indoor side of the vertical rod 33. That is, the dial 36 is provided with a gear, and the gear meshes with a gear 37 disposed between the vertical rod 33 and the cover member 34. A connecting rod 38 is engaged with the gear 37, and the connecting rod 38 moves in the vertical direction as the gear 37 rotates.
A connecting tool 39 is rotatably attached to the connecting rod 38, and the connecting tool 39 is fixed to the rotating shaft 35 </ b> A of the blade 35. For this reason, when the connecting rod 38 moves in the vertical direction, the connecting tool 39 and the blades 35 are rotated around the rotating shaft 35A in conjunction with the connecting rod 38.
Accordingly, the dial 36, the gear 37, the connecting rod 38, and the connecting tool 39 constitute blade rotating means for rotating the blade 35. By operating the dial 36, the angle of the blades 35 can be adjusted, and the shielding, shielding, and ventilation can be controlled. Therefore, the covering member 30 functions as a louver unit having the louver blades 35.

  The vertical shaft 33 is provided with blade rotation restricting means having a lock lever that can be moved to a state in which the gear 36 of the dial 36 or the gear 37 is engaged and a state in which the engagement is released by a user operation. Yes. For this reason, by operating the blade rotation restricting means and meshing the lock lever with the gear, the blade 35 can be prevented from rotating freely by wind or the like. Also, if the blade rotation restricting means is operated to remove the lock lever from the gear, the dial 35 can be operated to rotate the blade 35.

[Guiding structure for covering member (lower part)]
As shown in FIG. 3, a resin slider 321 is fixed to the lower surface of the lower collar 32 of the covering member 30. The slider 321 has a groove into which the guide rail 22 of the lower rail 20 is inserted. Therefore, the covering member 30 is guided by the guide rail 22 and does not move in the prospective direction (inside and outside of the balcony), but is provided so as to be movable only in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 22.
In addition, although the slider 321 may be provided over the full length of the longitudinal direction of the lower rod 32, it is usually formed in a piece shape (short shape) and provided at both ends of the lower rod 32, one by one. Good.

[Guiding structure for covering member (upper part)]
The upper suspension 31 that moves along the upper rail 10 is attached to the upper collar 31 of the covering member 30.
As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, the upper suspension type door pulley device 310 includes a support plate 311 having a U-shaped cross section, and a bolt 312 inserted in a hole formed in the bottom surface of the support plate 311. And a door wheel 313 rotatably attached to a side surface of the support plate 311. Two door wheels 313 are provided on each side surface of the support plate 311, and are provided to be movable by rotating on the door wheel guide portion 13.
The top suspension type door pulley apparatus 310 has a back plate 315 in which a nut 316 is welded to a metal plate, is mounted in the upper rod 31, and the bolt 312 is screwed into the nut 316 to adjust the height to the upper rod 31. It is attached as possible.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom surface of the support plate 311 extends toward the outside of the covering member 30, and guides a pressing member 47, which will be described later, through a hole formed in the extended portion.

[Structure of locking device]
One longitudinal rod 33 of the covering member 30 is provided with a locking device 40 as movement restricting means.
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the lock device 40 is provided with a knob cover 41 attached to a side surface facing the handrail 3 side (balcony side) of the vertical rod 33, and a sliding movement within the knob cover 41. A pair of operation knobs 42 which are operation members, a support plate 43 fixed inside the vertical rod 33, and two plates formed in a substantially T-shape, which are rotatably provided on the support plate 43. Link plate 44, an interlocking plate 45 rotatably attached to the link plate 44, a rod rod 46 connected to the interlocking plate 45, and a pressing member which is a vertically moving member attached to the upper end of the rod rod 46 47 and a coil spring 48 are provided.

The operation knob 42 includes a bifurcated connecting portion 421, and a pin 441 fixed to the link plate 44 is disposed on the connecting portion 421. Accordingly, when the operation knob 42 is slid up and down, the link plate 44 rotates about the rotation shaft 442.
Further, one end of the interlocking plate 45 is disposed between the link plates 44 and is rotatably supported by a pin 443 fixed to the link plate 44. The other end of the interlocking plate 45 is rotatably attached to the rod bar 46.

The rod bar 46 includes a connecting block 461 to which the interlocking plate 45 is rotatably attached, and a rod member 462 having one end side (lower end side) screwed to the connecting block 461.
The rod member 462 is guided by a guide plate 463 attached to the inner surface of the vertical rod 33 so as to be movable only in the vertical direction. The pressing member 47 is screwed and attached to the other end side (upper end side) of the rod member 462.
The pressing member 47 includes a metal main body 471 and a rubber pressing pad 472 attached to the upper surface of the main body 471 by pinning or the like, and can be moved only in the vertical direction by the support plate 311. Guided.

  The coil spring 48 is interposed between the upper collar 31 and the pressing member 47, and always urges the pressing member 47 upward. Therefore, the coil spring 48 constitutes a biasing means that biases the pressing member 47 toward the upper rail.

When the pressing member 47 is inserted from the opening 12 of the upper rail 10 and the user does not operate the operation knob 42, the coil spring 48 is placed on the lower surface of the engaging surface portion 14 of the upper rail 10, as shown in FIG. The pressing member 47 is engaged with the upper rail 10 by the frictional force between the engaging surface portion 14 and the pressing pad 472.
Further, the engagement surface portion 14 is formed with a hole 141 which is an engagement portion with which the pressing member 47 can be engaged at a predetermined position, and when the pressing member 47 is in a position corresponding to the hole 141, FIGS. As shown, the pressing member 47 is inserted into the hole 141 by the coil spring 48 and engaged with the upper rail 10.
In the present embodiment, the pressing member 47 of each covering member 30 is provided so as to be engageable with the hole 141 when the covering member 30 is moved to a position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

[Opening and closing operation of covering member]
Next, the opening / closing operation in the coating apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described.
When the covering member 30 is in the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, the pressing member 47 is inserted into the hole 141 and engaged as shown in FIGS. It is held so that it cannot move in the direction along the rails 10 and 20.
When the position of the covering member 30 is other than the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, the pressing member 47 is pressed against the engaging surface portion 14 of the upper rail 10 as shown in FIG. The covering member 30 is held so as not to move in the direction along the rails 10 and 20 by a frictional force (movement restriction force) acting between the mating surface portion 14 and the pressing pad 472.
Needless to say, the movement restricting force for preventing the covering member 30 from sliding is the movement restricting force when the pressing member 47 is engaged in the hole 141 and the engagement surface portion 14 and the pressing pad. It becomes larger than the movement restricting force due to the frictional force between 472.

  In order to move the covering member 30 from the state of FIG. 8, FIG. 9, or 10, the operation knob 42 is moved upward. Then, the link plate 44 and the interlocking plate 45 move, and the rod bar 46 moves downward against the urging force of the coil spring 48 as shown in FIGS. Then, since the pressing member 47 attached to the upper end of the rod bar 46 is separated from the engagement surface portion 14 of the upper rail 10, the movement restriction that works by being engaged with the hole 141 or being pressed against the engagement surface portion 14. The power is released. Therefore, the covering member 30 can be moved along the rails 10 and 20 by the user's operation.

Then, after the covering member 30 is moved to a desired position, the covering member 30 is automatically held at that position simply by releasing the hand from the operation knob 42. That is, when the hand is released from the operation knob 42, the rod bar 46 is moved upward by the biasing force of the coil spring 48, and the interlocking plate 45, the link plate 44, and the operation knob 42 are also automatically moved.
Then, when the rod rod 46 moves upward, the pressing member 47 presses against the engaging surface portion 14 or engages with the hole 141, and the movement restricting force is generated as described above. Held in that position.

  After the covering member 30 is moved to a desired position, the dial 36 is appropriately rotated to rotate the blades 35 so that the light shielding / shading / ventilation in the covering member 30 can be freely adjusted.

According to this embodiment, there are the following effects.
(1) Since the locking device 40 is provided on the covering member 30, the pressing member 47 can be engaged with the upper rail 10 by operating the operation knob 42 of the locking device 40, and the movement of the covering member 30 is restricted. be able to.
Since the locking device 40 engages with the upper rail 10, it does not get wet due to rain or the like as compared with the case where the locking device 40 engages with the lower rail 20. When securing, the movement regulating force can be generated with certainty, and the movement of the covering member 30 can be more reliably regulated even when the wind and rain are strong.

(2) Since the locking device 40 includes the coil spring 48 that constantly biases the pressing member 47 upward, not only when the pressing member 47 is engaged with the hole 141 of the engaging surface portion 14, but also the pressing member The movement of the covering member 30 can be restricted by the frictional force generated when the 47 pressing pads 472 are pressed against the lower surface of the engaging surface portion 14. That is, since the covering member 30 can be held at a free position along the rails 10 and 20, the covering apparatus 1 that is easy to use can be obtained.
In addition, since the coil spring 48 is provided, the operation knob 42 may be operated only when the covering member 30 is moved. After the covering member 30 is moved to a desired position, the operation knob 42 is simply released and the covering knob 30 is released. Since the member 30 can be held at that position, the operability of the coating apparatus 1 can be further improved.

  (3) Further, the pressing member 47 is inserted into the upper rail 10 from the opening 12 of the upper rail 10 and is provided in the inner space (guide space) of the rail 10 and is not exposed to the outside of the rail 10. It is comprised so that the lower surface of the surface part 14 may be pressed. For this reason, rainwater hardly adheres to the engaging surface portion 14 or the pressing member 47. For example, when the pressing member 47 is pressed against the lower surface exposed to the outside of the upper rail 10 (the lower surface of the door guide 13). In comparison with this, it is possible to prevent the frictional force (movement restricting force) from being lowered.

  (4) Since the pressing member 47 is screwed to the rod rod 46 and its height position can be adjusted, the urging force by the coil spring 48 when the pressing member 47 is pressing against the engaging surface portion 14 is adjusted. can do. For this reason, the movement restricting force, which is a frictional force acting between the pressing pad 472 of the pressing member 47 and the engaging surface portion 14, can also be adjusted, and an appropriate movement restricting force can be secured.

  (5) Since the louver unit is incorporated in the covering member 30 and provided with the louver blades 35 rotated by the dial 36, the shielding, light shielding and ventilation of the covering member 30 can be easily controlled. In particular, since the covering member 30 has a height dimension from the floor 2 to the ceiling 4 on the outside of the handrail 3, it can block any line of sight from the outside, front, or looking down from the outside, and privacy is also easy. It can be secured.

  (6) The rails 10 and 20 are arranged with fin portions 11 and 21 along the rising portion 52 of the U-shaped fixing bracket 50 fixed to the housing, and the fin portions 11 and 21 and the rising portion 52 are screwed. Since it is fixed and attached, the fixing bracket 50 can be disposed within the expected dimensions of the rails 10 and 20. For this reason, the space for mounting the rail can be reduced as compared with the case of using an angle member having an L-shaped cross section that is mounted across the indoor surface of the rail and the housing, and the fitting 50 is not exposed to the balcony side. Can be easily adopted and the design can be improved.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the coil spring (biasing means) 48 is eliminated in the locking device 40.
For this reason, the pressing member 47 of the locking device 40 moves up and down by operating the operation knob 42. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, when the operation knob 42 is moved upward, the link plate 44, the interlocking plate 45, and the rod bar 46 are interlocked and the pressing member 47 moves away from the engaging surface portion 14 and moves downward. To do. Therefore, the covering member 30 can be moved along the rails 10 and 20.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, when the operation knob 42 is moved downward, the link plate 44, the interlocking plate 45, and the rod rod 46 are moved in conjunction with each other, and the pressing member 47 is moved upward. Therefore, if the pressing member 47 is disposed at a position corresponding to the hole 141 of the engaging surface portion 14, the pressing member 47 is inserted into the hole 141. Thereby, the locking device 40 is engaged with the upper rail 10 and the movement of the covering member 30 is restricted.

  In FIG. 12, when the hand is released from the operation knob 42, the pressing member 47 tries to move downward due to its own weight. However, due to the arrangement of the link plate 44 and the interlocking plate 45 shown in FIG. Since it is going to move the operation knob 42 in the direction of moving downward, there is no further movement. Therefore, when the pressing member 47 is engaged with the hole 141 and locked, the locked state can be maintained unless the user moves the operation knob 42 upward.

  In the second embodiment as described above, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. However, in the second embodiment, the movement can be restricted only at the position where the pressing member 47 is inserted into the hole 141, but in the first embodiment, the movement of the covering member 30 can be restricted at a free position. There are advantages.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, in the above embodiment, the coil spring 48 is provided between the upper rod 31 and the pressing member 47. However, the coil spring 48 may be provided at a position where the pressing member 47 and the rod rod 46 can be urged upward. It is not limited to the arrangement of one embodiment.
The biasing means is not limited to the coil spring 48, and various springs can be used.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the pressing member 47 is urged upward by the coil spring 48 and pressed against the engaging surface portion 14.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the pressing member 47 is attached to the rod bar 46. However, in particular, when the movement is restricted by being engaged with the hole 141 or the protrusion which is the engaging portion, the pressing member 47 is provided. Instead, the rod rod 46 may be a vertically moving member, and the rod rod 46 that is the vertically moving member may be engaged with the hole 141 or the like.
Moreover, when providing the pressing member 47, the structure is not limited to what is comprised with the main-body part 471 and the press pad 472. FIG. For example, in the second embodiment, there is no need to press and engage the pressing member 47 with the engaging surface portion 14, so that the pressing member 47 is formed only by the main body portion 471 without providing the pressing pad 472 for increasing the frictional force. May be configured.

  In the embodiment described above, the louver blades 35 are provided on the covering member 30 so as to be able to control the shading, the shielding, and the ventilation. You may attach a face material to.

The structure for fixing the upper and lower rails 10 and 20 to the ceiling 4 and the floor 2 is not limited to the structure using the fixing bracket 50, and various conventionally known attachment structures can be employed.
Moreover, the shape of the upper collar 31, the lower collar 32, the vertical collar 33, etc. of the coating | coated member 30 is not restricted to the said embodiment. Furthermore, the shape and attachment structure of the cover member 34 may be appropriately set according to the shape of the vertical rod 33 and the like.
