この折り畳み扉は、扉本体を折り畳む際には扉本体全体をその戸当たり側の把手を介して吊り元側へと移動させる。そして、扉本体の最初の若干の移動により、吊り元側の２枚の扉単体の第１係脱ローラを第１係合部材から離脱させて第１蹴り出し部材により折り畳み側に蹴り出して折り畳む。そして、２枚の扉単体が略平行に折り畳まれる間に次の２枚の扉単体が吊り元側へと移動し、その移動により次の２枚の扉単体の第２係脱ローラを第２蹴り出し部材により折り畳み側に蹴り出して折り畳む。以下の後続の扉単体も同様にして２枚ずつ順次折り畳んで行く。従って、把手を把持して扉本体を吊り元側に操作することにより、各扉単体を吊り元側から順次容易に折り畳むことができる。 When folding the door body, the folding door moves the entire door body to the suspending side through a handle on the door stop side. Then, by the first slight movement of the door body, the first engagement / disengagement rollers of the two doors on the suspension base side are separated from the first engagement member, and the first kicking member kicks out to the folding side and folds. . Then, while the two doors are folded substantially in parallel, the next two doors move toward the suspension side, and the second engagement / disengagement roller of the next two doors is moved to the second by the movement. The kick-out member kicks out and folds to the folding side. The following subsequent doors are also folded two by two in the same manner. Therefore, by gripping the handle and operating the door main body to the suspending side, the individual doors can be easily folded sequentially from the suspending side.

しかし、この折り畳み扉では、折り畳み操作中に敷地内側から扉本体に対して強風が横方向から吹き付けた場合には、折り畳み対象の２枚の扉単体をそれにかかる強大な風圧に抗しながらが折り畳むことになる。このため強風時季での扉本体の折り畳みには強大な力を要し、折り畳み操作が困難である他、また大きな風圧に抗して折り畳むことから、扉本体、その他に無理な外力が加わって損傷し変形する等の惧れがある。 However, in this folding door, when strong wind blows from the side to the door body from the inside during the folding operation, the two doors to be folded are folded while resisting the strong wind pressure. It will be. For this reason, folding the door body in strong winds requires great force, making the folding operation difficult, and because it folds against high wind pressure, it is damaged by excessive external force applied to the door body and others. There is a risk of deformation.

本発明は、このような従来の課題に鑑み、折り畳み操作中に強風により強大な風圧が掛かっても、その風圧に抗して折り畳み対象の２枚の扉単体を容易に折り畳むことができ、しかも扉本体、その他の部分の損傷、変形等を未然に防止できる折り畳み扉を提供することを目的とする。 In view of such a conventional problem, the present invention can easily fold two doors to be folded against the wind pressure even when a strong wind pressure is applied by a strong wind during the folding operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a folding door that can prevent the door body and other parts from being damaged or deformed.

The first restricting member 21a for restricting the first door unit 10a and the second restricting member for engaging the second restricting rollers 17b and 17c to restrict the other door units 10c and 10e other than the first member. 21b. The first restricting member 21 a is disposed so as to correspond to the first restricting roller 17 a within the movement range of the suspension side end frame 8, and is fixed to the back surface of the suspension rail 5 or the lower side of the upper frame 4. The second restriction member 21b is disposed between the first restriction member 21a and the first kick-out member 22a.

蹴り込み部材２３ａ，２３ｂは図２、図５に示すように、扉本体７の伸長に際して係脱ローラ１８ａ〜１８ｃを係合部材２０ａ，２０ｂに蹴り込むためのもので、第１係合部材２０ａの吊り元側に配置されて第１係脱ローラ１８ａを第１係合部材２０ａに蹴り込む第１蹴り込み部材２３ａと、第２係合部材２０ｂの吊り元側に配置されて第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃを第２係合部材２０ｂに蹴り込む第２蹴り込み部材２３ｂとがある。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the kicking members 23a and 23b are for kicking the engaging / disengaging rollers 18a to 18c into the engaging members 20a and 20b when the door body 7 is extended, and the first engaging member 20a. A first kick-in member 23a that is disposed on the suspension base side of the first engagement member 20a and kicks the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a into the first engagement member 20a; and a second engagement member 20b that is disposed on the suspension base side of the second engagement member 20b. There is a second kick member 23b that kicks the rollers 18b and 18c into the second engagement member 20b.

第１係合部材２０ａ、第１蹴り出し部材２２ａ、第２規制部材２１ｂ、第１蹴り込み部材２３ａは一体であって、上側の取り付け部５０が上枠４側に固定されている。第１規制部材２１ａ、第２規制部材２１ｂは懸架レール５よりも下側に突出しており、この規制部材２１ａ，２１ｂに各規制ローラ１７ａ〜１７ｃが係合する高さとなっている。 The first engaging member 20a, the first kick-out member 22a, the second restricting member 21b, and the first kick-in member 23a are integrated, and the upper mounting portion 50 is fixed to the upper frame 4 side. The first restricting member 21a and the second restricting member 21b protrude below the suspension rail 5, and have a height at which the restricting rollers 17a to 17c are engaged with the restricting members 21a and 21b.

各規制ローラ１７ａ〜１７ｃ、規制部材２１ａ，２１ｂは、折り畳み状態でも第１規制部材２１ａと第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃとが干渉せず、扉本体７の伸長に際しては第１規制ローラ１７ａが第１規制部材２１ａに、第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃが第２規制部材２１ｂに夫々確実に係合するようになっている。 Even when the restriction rollers 17a to 17c and the restriction members 21a and 21b are folded, the first restriction member 21a and the second restriction rollers 17b and 17c do not interfere with each other. The second restriction rollers 17b and 17c are surely engaged with the first restriction member 21a and the second restriction member 21b.

即ち、規制部材２１ａ，２１ｂ側では、その第１規制部材２１ａの突出量が小さく、第２規制部材２１ｂの突出量が大きくなっている。一方、規制ローラ１７ａ側では、その第１規制ローラ１７ａのヒンジ軸４３からの距離が短く、第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃのヒンジ軸４２からの距離が長くなっており、扉本体７の折り畳み状態のときに第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃが第１規制部材２１ａの後方近傍を通過するようにしている。 That is, on the regulating members 21a and 21b side, the protruding amount of the first regulating member 21a is small, and the protruding amount of the second regulating member 21b is large. On the other hand, on the regulating roller 17a side, the distance from the hinge shaft 43 of the first regulating roller 17a is short, the distance from the hinge shaft 42 of the second regulating rollers 17b and 17c is long, and the door body 7 is folded. At this time, the second restricting rollers 17b and 17c pass through the vicinity of the rear of the first restricting member 21a.

案内部材２５は扉本体７の折り畳みに際して第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂにより蹴り出された折り畳み対象の２枚の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｄ、１０ｅ，１０ｆが吊り元側へと移動する間に第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃを懸架レール５から離れる方向（折り畳み方向）に案内するためのもので、懸架レール５の裏側で第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂと第２係合部材２０ａの係脱端側との間に、吊り元側になるに従って懸架レール５から後方に離れるように斜め方向に傾斜状に配置されている。 When the door body 7 is folded, the guide member 25 is secondly disengaged while the two door units 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f to be folded that have been kicked out by the second kicking member 22b move to the suspension side. It is for guiding the rollers 18b, 18c in the direction away from the suspension rail 5 (folding direction), and between the second kick-out member 22b and the engagement / disengagement end side of the second engagement member 20a on the back side of the suspension rail 5. In addition, it is arranged in an inclined manner in an oblique direction so as to move backward from the suspension rail 5 toward the suspension source side.

即ち、案内部材２５はその一端側が第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂの裏面の取り付け部２２ｃに、他端側が第１蹴り込み部材２３ａの突出端側の取り付け部２３ｃに夫々裏側からネジ等の固定具により着脱自在に固定されている。第２蹴り込み部材２３ａは第２規制部材２１ｂ、第１蹴り出し部材２２ａに比して懸架レール５から後方に大きく突出している。従って、案内部材２５は第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂ側よりも第１蹴り込み部材２３ａ側が後方に突出する傾斜状となっている。なお、案内部材２５の傾斜角度は、各蹴り出し部材２２ａ，２２ｂの傾斜角度よりも小である。 That is, one end of the guide member 25 is attached to the attachment portion 22c on the back surface of the second kick-out member 22b, and the other end thereof is attached to the attachment portion 23c on the protruding end side of the first kick-in member 23a. It is detachably fixed. The second kick-in member 23a protrudes rearward from the suspension rail 5 more than the second restricting member 21b and the first kick-out member 22a. Therefore, the guide member 25 has an inclined shape in which the first kick-in member 23a side protrudes rearward from the second kick-out member 22b side. In addition, the inclination angle of the guide member 25 is smaller than the inclination angle of each kick-out member 22a, 22b.

次に折り畳み扉における開閉操作時の動作を説明する。扉本体７が閉鎖状態のときには、図１及び図２に示すように各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆが懸架レール５に沿って一直線状に伸長しており、戸当たり側端枠９が戸当たり支柱２側に当接した状態で施錠手段により施錠する。なお、この状態では各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆは係脱ローラ１８ａ〜１８ｃが係合部材２０ａ，２０ｂに係合することにより屈折不能に保持されている。また吊り元側端枠８は吊り元枠２６の開口端側に位置している。 Next, the operation | movement at the time of opening / closing operation in a folding door is demonstrated. When the door body 7 is in the closed state, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the individual doors 10 a to 10 f extend in a straight line along the suspension rail 5, and the door end side frame 9 is the door stopper column 2. It locks by a locking means in the state contact | abutted to the side. In this state, the doors 10a to 10f are held in a non-refractive state by the engagement / disengagement rollers 18a to 18c engaging with the engagement members 20a and 20b. The suspension side end frame 8 is located on the opening end side of the suspension frame 26.

この閉鎖状態から扉本体７を折り畳んで出入口を開放するときには、把手３０を把持して扉本体７を走行手段１４ａ〜１４ｄにより吊り元側へと図２のａ矢示方向へと移動させる。すると各走行手段１４ａ〜１４ｄが懸架レール５に支持案内されて戸当たり側へと走行し、吊り元側端枠８のストッパー２９が吊り元枠２６の吊り元側対向面に当接するまで伸長状態の扉本体７が吊り元側へと移動するので、先ず第１番目のヒンジ手段１２ａに設けられた第１係脱ローラ１８ａが第１係合部材２０ａから外れて第１蹴り出し部材２２ａに当接する。 When the door body 7 is folded from this closed state and the doorway is opened, the handle 30 is gripped and the door body 7 is moved to the suspension side by the traveling means 14a to 14d in the direction indicated by the arrow a in FIG. Then, each traveling means 14a-14d is supported and guided by the suspension rail 5, travels to the door stop side, and extends until the stopper 29 of the suspension side end frame 8 contacts the suspension side opposite surface of the suspension frame 26. As the door body 7 moves to the suspension side, the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a provided on the first hinge means 12a is first disengaged from the first engagement member 20a and contacts the first kick-out member 22a. Touch.

そして、更に扉本体７全体を吊り元側へ移動させると、その第１係脱ローラ１８ａが第１蹴り出し部材２２ａにより図２のｂ矢示方向に案内されて敷地内側へと蹴り出される。このため第１番目の扉単体１０ａと第２番目の扉単体１０ｂは、第１番目のヒンジ手段１２ａが敷地内側に突出するように、略平行状態に折曲するまで折り畳まれて行く。 When the entire door body 7 is further moved to the suspension side, the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a is guided by the first kicking member 22a in the direction indicated by the arrow b in FIG. For this reason, the 1st door single-piece | unit 10a and the 2nd door single-piece | unit 10b are folded until it bend | folds in a substantially parallel state so that the 1st hinge means 12a may protrude in the site inner side.

なお、このとき第１番目の扉単体１０ａはヒンジ手段１３ａのヒンジ軸４３廻りに回動するが、吊り元側端枠８が吊り元枠２６内に入っているため、その第１規制ローラ１７ａが第１規制部材２１ａと干渉するようなことはない。 At this time, the first door 10a rotates about the hinge shaft 43 of the hinge means 13a. However, since the suspension end frame 8 is in the suspension frame 26, the first restriction roller 17a is provided. Does not interfere with the first restricting member 21a.

続けて扉本体７の戸当たり側をａ矢示方向に押すと、第１番目の扉単体１０ａと第２番目の扉単体１０ｂの折り畳みに伴って後続の各扉単体１０ｃ〜１０ｆが吊り元側へと移動し、第３番目及び第５番目のヒンジ手段１２ｃ，１２ｅに設けられた各第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃが第２係合部材２０ｂから外れて小範囲Ｍ内へと入って行く。 Subsequently, when the door contact side of the door body 7 is pushed in the direction indicated by arrow a, the subsequent door units 10c to 10f are suspended by the folding of the first door unit 10a and the second door unit 10b. The second engaging / disengaging rollers 18b, 18c provided on the third and fifth hinge means 12c, 12e are disengaged from the second engaging member 20b and enter the small range M. .

そして、例えば第１番目の扉単体１０ａと第２番目の扉単体１０ｂが略平行になる前に、第３番目のヒンジ手段１２ｃに設けられた第２係脱ローラ１８ｂが第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂにより蹴り出されて、第３番目のヒンジ手段１２ｃが敷地内側に突出するように第３番目の扉単体１０ｃと第４番目の扉単体１０ｄとが折り畳まれて行く。以下、同様にして第５番目の扉単体１０ｅと第６番目の扉単体１０ｆも折り畳まれ、図９に示す状態となる。 For example, before the first door unit 10a and the second door unit 10b become substantially parallel, the second engagement / disengagement roller 18b provided on the third hinge means 12c is moved to the second kicking member 22b. The third door unit 10c and the fourth door unit 10d are folded so that the third hinge means 12c protrudes to the inside of the site. Similarly, the fifth door unit 10e and the sixth door unit 10f are folded in the same manner, resulting in the state shown in FIG.

このように通常の折り畳み時には、把手３０を把持して吊り元側へと扉本体７を移動させれば、各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆを吊り元側から順次２枚ずつ折り畳むことができる。しかし、例えば第１番目、第２番目の扉単体１０ａ，１０ｂを折り畳んだ後に、第３番目、第４番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｄ等の後続の各扉単体１０ｃ〜１０ｆを折り畳むに際して、扉本体７に対して裏側から図７のＸ矢示方向に強風が吹き付けるようなことがあっても、案内部材２５の案内作用によりその風圧に抗して容易に折り畳むことができる。 Thus, at the time of normal folding, if the handle body 30 is grasped and the door body 7 is moved to the suspending side, the doors 10a to 10f can be folded two by two sequentially from the suspending side. However, for example, after folding the first and second door units 10a and 10b, the subsequent door units 10c to 10f such as the third and fourth door units 10c and 10d are folded. 7, even if strong wind blows in the direction indicated by the arrow X in FIG. 7 from the back side, the guide member 25 can be easily folded against the wind pressure by the guiding action.

第３番目、第４番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｄの折り畳みに際して、その２枚の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｄに裏側から強大な風圧がかかれば、図７に示すように第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂにより蹴り出された後の第２係脱ローラ１８ｂは案内部材２５に押し付けられた状態となる。この状態で第４番目の扉単体１０ｄを更に吊り元側へとａ矢示方向に移動させると、その第２係脱ローラ１８ｂは案内部材２５に沿ってｃ矢示方向に転動しながら後方へと押し出されて行く。 When the third and fourth doors 10c and 10d are folded, if a strong wind pressure is applied to the two doors 10c and 10d from the back side, they are kicked by the second kicking member 22b as shown in FIG. The second engagement / disengagement roller 18b after being taken out is pressed against the guide member 25. In this state, when the fourth door unit 10d is further moved in the direction indicated by the arrow a toward the suspension source side, the second engagement / disengagement roller 18b moves backward along the guide member 25 in the direction indicated by the arrow c. Pushed out to go.

従って、案内部材２５と第２係脱ローラ１８ｂとの協働作用により、折り畳み対象である第３番目、第４番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｄを連結する第３番目のヒンジ手段１２ｃを案内部材２５の傾斜に沿って後方に押し出して行くので、第３番目、第４番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｄを裏側からの風圧に抗してＶ字状に折り畳むことができる。 Accordingly, the third hinge means 12c that connects the third and fourth doors 10c and 10d to be folded is guided by the cooperative action of the guide member 25 and the second engagement / disengagement roller 18b. The third and fourth doors 10c and 10d can be folded into a V shape against the wind pressure from the back side.

第２係脱ローラ１８ｃが案内部材２５の吊り元側の端部又はその近傍に達すると、図８に示すように第２番目の走行手段１４ｂが第１番目の走行手段１４ａに当接する等、この第２番目の走行手段１４ｂが吊り元側に移動できる限界位置に達し、その後は第３番目の扉単体１０ｃが第２番目の走行手段１４ｂの下側の第２番目のヒンジ手段１２ｂのヒンジ軸４２廻りに後方へとｄ矢示方向に回動するため、その回動に伴って第３番目、第４番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｄを案内部材２５の有無に関係なく所定の状態まで折り畳むことができる。 When the second engagement / disengagement roller 18c reaches the end of the guide member 25 on the suspension base side or in the vicinity thereof, the second traveling means 14b comes into contact with the first traveling means 14a as shown in FIG. The second traveling means 14b reaches a limit position where it can move to the suspension base side, and thereafter the third door unit 10c is the hinge of the second hinge means 12b below the second traveling means 14b. Since it rotates in the direction of the arrow d rearward around the shaft 42, the third and fourth door units 10c and 10d are folded to a predetermined state with or without the guide member 25. be able to.

扉本体７を伸長して出入口を閉鎖するときには、把手３０を把持して戸当たり側端枠９を戸当たり側へと図９のｅ矢示方向に引っ張る。すると各走行手段１４ａ〜１４ｄが懸架レール５に案内されて吊り元側へと走行するので、折り畳み状態の各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆが戸当たり側から順次伸長して行く。 When the door body 7 is extended to close the doorway, the handle 30 is gripped and the door end frame 9 is pulled toward the door end in the direction indicated by the arrow e in FIG. Then, each traveling means 14a-14d is guided by the suspension rail 5 and travels to the suspension side, so that each folded door unit 10a-10f is sequentially extended from the door stop side.

扉本体７の伸長に際しては、先ず最初に戸当たり側端枠９の走行手段１４ｄが懸架レール５に沿って戸当たり側へと移動し、その移動に伴って第６番目の扉単体１０ｆと第５番目の扉単体１０ｅとがヒンジ手段１２ｅのヒンジ軸４１，４２廻りに回動して伸長する。そして、この第６番目の扉単体１０ｆと第５番目の扉単体１０ｅとがある程度伸長すると、図１０に示すように第５番目の扉単体１０ｅがヒンジ手段１２ｅのヒンジ軸４２廻りに伸長方向に回動しながら第３番目の走行手段１４ｃが戸当たり側へと走行し、第５番目の扉単体１０ｅの第２規制ローラ１７ｃが第２規制部材２１ｂに当接して第５番目の扉単体１０ｅ、第３番目の走行手段１４ｃの戸当たり側への移動が規制される。 When the door body 7 is extended, first, the traveling means 14d of the door end frame 9 moves to the door end side along the suspension rail 5, and the sixth door unit 10f and the first door 10f are moved along with the movement. The fifth door unit 10e rotates and extends around the hinge shafts 41 and 42 of the hinge means 12e. When the sixth door unit 10f and the fifth door unit 10e extend to some extent, as shown in FIG. 10, the fifth door unit 10e extends in the extending direction around the hinge shaft 42 of the hinge means 12e. The third traveling means 14c travels to the door stop side while rotating, and the second restriction roller 17c of the fifth door single body 10e abuts on the second restriction member 21b to contact the fifth door single body 10e. The movement of the third traveling means 14c to the door-to-door side is restricted.

このため把手３０をｅ矢示方向に操作しても第５番目の扉単体１０ｅ、第３番目の走行手段１４ｃは停止した状態となり、図１１に示すように第５番目の扉単体１０ｅが第４番目のヒンジ手段１２ｄのヒンジ軸４２廻りに懸架レール５側へとｆ矢示方向に回動する。そして、この第５番目のヒンジ手段１２ｅに設けられた第２係脱ローラ１８ｃが懸架レール５側へと接近して、第６番目の扉単体１０ｆと第５番目の扉単体１０ｅとが略直線状に伸長したときに、その第２係脱ローラ１８ｃが第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂと第２蹴り込み部材２３ｂとの間から第２係合部材２０ｂに係合し伸長状態に保持される。 For this reason, even if the handle 30 is operated in the direction indicated by the arrow e, the fifth door unit 10e and the third traveling means 14c are stopped, and the fifth door unit 10e is moved to the first position as shown in FIG. The fourth hinge means 12d rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow f toward the suspension rail 5 around the hinge shaft 42. Then, the second engagement / disengagement roller 18c provided on the fifth hinge means 12e approaches the suspension rail 5 side, and the sixth door unit 10f and the fifth door unit 10e are substantially straight. The second engagement / disengagement roller 18c engages with the second engagement member 20b from between the second kick-out member 22b and the second kick-in member 23b and is held in the stretched state.

第６番目の扉単体１０ｆと第５番目の扉単体１０ｅが伸長した後、更に戸当たり側端枠９を戸当たり側へと移動させると、同様にして第４番目の扉単体１０ｄと第３番目の扉単体１０ｃとが伸長して、第３番目のヒンジ手段１２ｃの第２係脱ローラ１８ｂが第２係合部材２０ｂに係合する。 After the sixth door unit 10f and the fifth door unit 10e extend, when the door end frame 9 is further moved to the door end side, the fourth door unit 10d and the third door unit 10d The second door unit 10c extends, and the second engagement / disengagement roller 18b of the third hinge means 12c engages with the second engagement member 20b.

第３番目の扉単体１０ｃが伸長すると、その後、第２番目の扉単体１０ｂと第１番目の扉単体１０ａとが伸長を開始する。このとき図１２に示すように第１番目の扉単体１０ａがヒンジ手段１３ａのヒンジ軸４３廻りにｇ矢示方向に回動しながら、吊り元枠２６の幅内で走行手段１４ａにより吊り元側端枠８が戸当たり側へと移動し、第１番目の扉単体１０ａの第１規制ローラ１７ａが第１規制部材２１ａに当接して第１番目の扉単体１０ａの戸当たり側への移動が規制される。 When the third door unit 10c extends, thereafter, the second door unit 10b and the first door unit 10a start to expand. At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the first door unit 10a rotates around the hinge shaft 43 of the hinge means 13a in the direction indicated by the arrow g, while the traveling means 14a moves within the width of the suspension frame 26. The end frame 8 moves to the door contact side, the first restriction roller 17a of the first door single body 10a abuts on the first restriction member 21a, and the first door single body 10a moves to the door contact side. Be regulated.

このため第１番目の扉単体１０ａがヒンジ手段１３ａのヒンジ軸４３廻りに懸架レール５側へとｇ矢示方向に回動し、第１番目のヒンジ手段１２ａに設けられた第１係脱ローラ１８ａが懸架レール５側へと接近して、第２番目の扉単体１０ｂと第１番目の扉単体１０ａとが略直線状に伸長したときに、その第１係脱ローラ１８ａが第１蹴り出し部材２２ａと第１蹴り込み部材２３ａとの間から第１係合部材２０ａに係合して伸長状態に保持される。 For this reason, the first door unit 10a rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow g toward the suspension rail 5 around the hinge shaft 43 of the hinge means 13a, and the first engagement / disengagement roller provided on the first hinge means 12a. When 18a approaches the suspension rail 5 side and the second door unit 10b and the first door unit 10a extend in a substantially straight line, the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a is kicked out first. The first engagement member 20a is engaged between the member 22a and the first kick-in member 23a and held in the extended state.

第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃが第２規制部材２１ｂに当接した後、各扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅがその吊り元側のヒンジ手段１２ｂ，１２ｄのヒンジ軸４２廻りに懸架レール５側へと回動しても、各扉単体１０ｄ，１０ｅの回動中心が懸架レール５に対して内外方向に移動することはない。このため懸架レール５の側面に近接して第２規制部材２１ｂを配置することにより、第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃが第２係合部材２０ｂに係合可能な位置に達するまで扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅの移動を規制することが可能である。 After the second restricting rollers 17b and 17c come into contact with the second restricting member 21b, the individual doors 10c and 10e rotate toward the suspension rail 5 around the hinge shaft 42 of the hinge means 12b and 12d on the suspension side. Even if this, the rotation center of each door unit 10 d, 10 e does not move inward and outward with respect to the suspension rail 5. Therefore, by disposing the second restricting member 21b close to the side surface of the suspension rail 5, the door unit 10c, until the second engaging / disengaging rollers 18b, 18c reach a position where the second engaging member 20b can be engaged. It is possible to regulate the movement of 10e.

従って、従来のように偶数番目の扉単体１０ｄ，１０ｆの上端部側を敷地内側から懸架レール５側へと押圧する必要がなくなり、従来に比較して構造的に簡素化できると共に、偶数番目の扉単体１０ｄ，１０ｆの上端部に擦過痕等の転動跡が発生する惧れもない。第１規制ローラ１７ａ、第１規制部材２１ａ側でも同様である。 Therefore, it is not necessary to press the upper end side of the even-numbered door unit 10d, 10f from the inside of the premises to the suspension rail 5 side as in the prior art, and it can be simplified structurally compared to the prior art, and even-numbered There is no possibility that rolling marks such as scratch marks will be generated at the upper ends of the doors 10d and 10f. The same applies to the first regulating roller 17a and the first regulating member 21a side.

通常は各扉単体１０ａ，１０ｃ，１０ｅの戸当たり側への移動を規制している間に、係脱ローラ１８ａ〜１８ｃが係合部材２０ａ，２０ｂに係合する。しかし、係脱ローラ１８ａ〜１８ｃが懸架レール５側へと接近する間に、何等かの理由により規制ローラ１７ａ〜１７ｃが規制部材２１ａ，２１ｂから外れるようなことがあっても、係合部材２０ａ，２０ｂの係脱側端に蹴り込み部材２３ａ，２３ｂがあり、この蹴り込み部材２３ａ，２３ｂが係脱ローラ１８ａ〜１８ｃを案内して係合部材２０ａ，２０ｂ側へと蹴り込む。このため係脱ローラ１８ａ〜１８ｃを確実に係合部材２０ａ，２０ｂに係合させることができる。 Normally, the engagement / disengagement rollers 18a to 18c are engaged with the engagement members 20a and 20b while the movement of the doors 10a, 10c and 10e toward the door contact side is restricted. However, even if the restricting rollers 17a to 17c may come off from the restricting members 21a and 21b for some reason while the engaging and disengaging rollers 18a to 18c approach the suspension rail 5, the engaging member 20a , 20b have kick-in members 23a and 23b at the engagement / disengagement side ends, and the kick-in members 23a and 23b guide the engagement / disengagement rollers 18a to 18c and kick them toward the engagement members 20a and 20b. Therefore, the engagement / disengagement rollers 18a to 18c can be reliably engaged with the engagement members 20a and 20b.

各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆ相互を２点式のヒンジ手段１２ａ〜１２ｅで連結した場合、連結軸１６とヒンジ軸４３との間隔が長くなることとも関係して、吊り元支柱１から第１規制部材２１ａまでの間隔が長くなる。このため第１番目の扉単体１０ａと第２番目の扉単体１０ｂとの折り畳み時には、第１規制ローラ１７ａが第１規制部材２１ａを吊り元側に通過した後に、第１番目の扉単体１０ａをその吊り元側のヒンジ手段１３ａのヒンジ軸４３廻りに回動させるが、この場合にも第１規制ローラ１７ａを第１番目の扉単体１０ａの吊り元側に接近して設けているので、第１規制部材２１ａを極力吊り元側に接近させて配置することができる。 When the doors 10a to 10f are connected to each other by the two-point hinge means 12a to 12e, the first restriction member is connected to the first support member 1 from the suspension column 1 in connection with the increase in the distance between the connection shaft 16 and the hinge shaft 43. The interval up to 21a becomes longer. For this reason, when the first door single body 10a and the second door single body 10b are folded, the first restriction roller 17a passes the first restriction member 21a to the suspension side, and then the first door single body 10a is moved. Although it is rotated around the hinge shaft 43 of the hinge means 13a on the suspension side, the first restriction roller 17a is provided close to the suspension side of the first door unit 10a in this case as well. 1 It is possible to arrange the restricting member 21a as close as possible to the suspension side.

また第１規制部材２１ａを吊り元側から離して設けた場合には、折り畳み状態のときの第３番目、第５番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅの第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃと第１規制部材２１ａとの関係が問題となる。しかし、第３番目、第５番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅの第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃとその吊り元側のヒンジ軸４２との間隔を、第１規制ローラ１７ａとその吊り元側のヒンジ軸４３との間隔よりも大にして、後続の各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆを折り畳んだときにその第３番目、第５番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅの第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃが第１規制部材２１ａに対して敷地内側に位置するようにしているので、第３番目、第５番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅの第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃと第１規制部材２１ａとが干渉することもない。 When the first restricting member 21a is provided away from the suspension base side, the second restricting rollers 17b and 17c and the first restricting member of the third and fifth doors 10c and 10e in the folded state are provided. The relationship with 21a becomes a problem. However, the distance between the second restriction rollers 17b, 17c of the third and fifth door single bodies 10c, 10e and the hinge shaft 42 on the suspension source side is set to the first restriction roller 17a and the hinge shaft on the suspension source side. The second restricting rollers 17b and 17c of the third and fifth door single units 10c and 10e when the subsequent door single units 10a to 10f are folded so as to be larger than the interval with the first control member. Since it is located inside the site with respect to 21a, the second restriction rollers 17b, 17c of the third and fifth door single bodies 10c, 10e do not interfere with the first restriction member 21a.

従って、第１規制ローラ１７ａを第１番目の扉単体１０ａに対してその吊り元側のヒンジ軸４３に接近して配置し、第２規制ローラ１７ｂ，１７ｃと第３番目、その他の奇数番目の扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅの吊り元側のヒンジ軸４２との間隔を大にすることにより、相互の干渉を防止しながら全体をコンパクトに纏めることができる。 Accordingly, the first restricting roller 17a is disposed close to the hinge shaft 43 on the suspending side with respect to the first door 10a, and the second restricting rollers 17b and 17c and the third and other odd-numbered rollers are arranged. By increasing the distance between the door unit 10c, 10e and the hinge shaft 42 on the suspending side, the whole can be compactly integrated while preventing mutual interference.

図１３〜図１５は本発明の第２の実施例を例示する。この実施例では、扉本体７を構成する扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆの内、その両端の扉単体１０ａ，１０ｆの吊り元端、戸当たり端は、連結軸１６を介して走行手段１４ａ，１４ｄに回動自在に連結されている。中間の各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆは１個のヒンジ軸４２を有する１点式のヒンジ手段１２ａ〜１２ｅを介して折り畳み自在に連結されている。そして、偶数番目の扉単体１０ｂ，１０ｄは、その戸当たり側のヒンジ手段１２ｂ，１２ｄの近傍に配置された連結軸１６により走行手段１４ｂ，１４ｃに回動自在に連結されている。 13-15 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, of the door units 10 a to 10 f constituting the door body 7, the suspension end and door end of the door units 10 a and 10 f at both ends thereof are rotated to the traveling means 14 a and 14 d via the connecting shaft 16. It is connected freely. The middle doors 10a to 10f in the middle are foldably connected via one-point hinge means 12a to 12e having one hinge shaft 42. The even-numbered doors 10b and 10d are rotatably connected to the traveling means 14b and 14c by a connecting shaft 16 disposed in the vicinity of the hinge means 12b and 12d on the door contact side.

また懸架レール５の裏側には、第１の実施例の第２蹴り込み部材２３ｂに代えて、第２係合部材２０ａの係脱端よりも吊り元側にブラケット６５を介して押圧ローラ６６が設けられている。この押圧ローラ６６は吊り元側の２枚の扉単体１０ａ，１０ｂを除く各扉単体１０ｃ〜１０ｆの伸長に際して、その伸長対象である偶数番目（戸当たり側）の扉単体１０ｄ，１０ｆを、その扉単体１０ｄ，１０ｆが戸当たり側へと移動するに伴って懸架レール５側に押圧して、扉単体１０ｃ，１０ｅに設けられた第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃを第２係合部材２０ｂに係合させるようになっている。 Further, on the back side of the suspension rail 5, instead of the second kicking member 23b of the first embodiment, a pressing roller 66 is provided via a bracket 65 on the suspending side from the engagement / disengagement end of the second engagement member 20a. Is provided. When the door rollers 10c to 10f excluding the two door units 10a and 10b on the suspending side are extended, the pressing roller 66 applies the even-numbered (door-to-door side) door units 10d and 10f to be extended. As the doors 10d and 10f move toward the door stop side, the doors 10d and 10f are pressed against the suspension rail 5 side, and the second engagement / disengagement rollers 18b and 18c provided on the doors 10c and 10e are moved to the second engagement member 20b. It is designed to be engaged.

規制ローラ１７ａ〜１７ｃは奇数番目の扉単体１０ａ，１０ｃ，１０ｅの吊り元側で前後方向の略中央に設けられている。懸架レール５の裏側には、第１の実施例と同様に係合部材２０ａ，２０ｂ、規制部材２１ａ，２１ｂ、蹴り出し部材２２ａ，２２ｂ、蹴り込み部材２３ａが設けられている。第２規制部材２１ｂは第１蹴り出し部材２２ａから吊り元側に離れており、第１蹴り出し部材２２ａ、蹴り込み部材２３ａ、第１係合部材２０ａが一体に構成されている。 The regulating rollers 17a to 17c are provided at the approximate center in the front-rear direction on the suspending side of the odd-numbered door single bodies 10a, 10c, 10e. Engagement members 20a and 20b, restricting members 21a and 21b, kick-out members 22a and 22b, and a kick-in member 23a are provided on the back side of the suspension rail 5 as in the first embodiment. The second restricting member 21b is separated from the first kicking member 22a toward the suspension side, and the first kicking member 22a, the kicking member 23a, and the first engaging member 20a are integrally formed.

吊り元側端枠８は連結軸１６の軸心上に規制軸６７を有し、その規制軸６７が規制板６８の長孔６９に摺動自在に挿通されている。従って、吊り元側端枠８は規制板６８の長孔６９の範囲内で左右方向に移動自在である。その他の構成は略第１の実施例と同様である。 The suspension side end frame 8 has a restriction shaft 67 on the axis of the connecting shaft 16, and the restriction shaft 67 is slidably inserted into the long hole 69 of the restriction plate 68. Therefore, the suspension side end frame 8 is movable in the left-right direction within the range of the long hole 69 of the restriction plate 68. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

この実施例でも第１の実施例と同様にして各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆの折り畳み、伸長操作を行う。しかし、吊り元側の２枚の扉単体１０ａ，１０ｂを除く各扉単体１０ｃ〜１０ｆの伸長に際しては、押圧ローラ６６により伸長させながら第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃを第２係合部材２０ｂに係合させる。即ち、伸長動作の開始当初は、伸長対象である２枚の扉単体１０ｅ，１０ｆの内、その扉単体１０ｅの第２規制ローラ１７ｃが第２規制部材２１ｂに係合して、この第２規制部材２１ｂで扉単体１０ｅの移動を規制した状態で、扉単体１０ｆの戸当たり側への移動に伴って２枚の扉単体１０ｅ，１０ｆを伸長させる。 In this embodiment, the doors 10a to 10f are folded and extended as in the first embodiment. However, when the doors 10c to 10f excluding the two doors 10a and 10b on the suspension side are extended, the second engaging / disengaging rollers 18b and 18c are extended to the second engaging member 20b while being extended by the pressing roller 66. Engage. That is, at the beginning of the extension operation, the second restriction roller 17c of the single door 10e and 10f to be extended is engaged with the second restriction member 21b, and the second restriction member 21b is engaged. In a state where the movement of the door unit 10e is restricted by the member 21b, the two door units 10e and 10f are extended in accordance with the movement of the door unit 10f toward the door contact side.

そして、２枚の扉単体１０ｅ，１０ｆが伸長して第２規制ローラ１７ｃが第２規制部材２１ｂから外れる前に、図１５に示すように押圧ローラ６６が扉単体１０ｆの上端部に裏側から当接して、扉単体１０ｆの戸当たり側への移動に伴って懸架レール５側へと押圧する。従って、その後は伸長対象の２枚の扉単体１０ｅ，１０ｆは押圧ローラ６６の押圧により伸長し、両扉単体１０ｅ，１０ｆが伸長状態になった後に第２係脱ローラ１８ｃが第２係合部材２０ｂに係合する。 Then, before the two door single bodies 10e and 10f extend and the second restricting roller 17c is detached from the second restricting member 21b, as shown in FIG. 15, the pressing roller 66 contacts the upper end portion of the single door 10f from the back side. In contact, the door 10f is pressed toward the suspension rail 5 as the door 10f moves toward the door stop. Therefore, after that, the two single doors 10e and 10f to be extended are extended by the pressing of the pressing roller 66, and after the two doors 10e and 10f are in the extended state, the second engagement / disengagement roller 18c is the second engaging member. 20b is engaged.

このような構成の折り畳み扉の場合にも、第２蹴り出し部材２２ｂと第１蹴り込み部材２３ａとの間に案内部材２５を設け、扉本体７の折り畳みに際して、この案内部材２５で第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃを案内して後方へと押し出すことにより、第１の実施例と同様に強風時でも扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆを容易に折り畳むことができる。 Also in the case of a folding door having such a configuration, a guide member 25 is provided between the second kick-out member 22b and the first kick-in member 23a, and when the door body 7 is folded, the guide member 25 uses the second engagement member. By guiding the removing rollers 18b and 18c and pushing them backward, the doors 10a to 10f can be easily folded even in a strong wind as in the first embodiment.

以上、本発明の各実施例について詳述したが、本発明は実施例に限定されるものではない。規制部材２１ａ，２１ｂ、蹴り出し部材２２ａ，２２ｂ、蹴り込み部材２３ａ，２３ｂは懸架レール５又は上枠４に設ける他、両者に跨がって設けてもよい。蹴り込み部材２３ａ，２３ｂは省略してもよい。その場合、案内部材２５は懸架レール５又は上枠４から後方に突出するブラケットを設けて、そのブラケットにより支持するようにしてもよい。扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆ、吊り元側端枠８、戸当たり側端枠９、ヒンジ手段１２ａ〜１２ｅ，１３ａ，１３ｂ等の形状、構造は実施例に例示する以外のものでもよい。 As mentioned above, although each Example of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to an Example. The regulating members 21a and 21b, the kicking members 22a and 22b, and the kicking members 23a and 23b may be provided over the suspension rail 5 or the upper frame 4 or over both. The kick members 23a and 23b may be omitted. In that case, the guide member 25 may be provided with a bracket protruding rearward from the suspension rail 5 or the upper frame 4 and supported by the bracket. The shapes and structures of the doors 10a to 10f, the suspension side end frame 8, the door contact side end frame 9, the hinge means 12a to 12e, 13a, 13b, etc. may be other than those exemplified in the embodiments.

実施例では、第２係脱ローラ１８ｂ，１８ｃを案内するように案内部材２５を設けているが、第１係脱ローラ１８ａを案内するように第１蹴り出し部材２２ａの戸当たり側に案内部材を別途設けてもよい。第１の実施例の場合には、吊り元側の２枚の扉単体１０ａ，１０ｂを折り畳む際に第１係脱ローラ１８ａが第１蹴り出し部材２２ａにより蹴り出された後、直ぐに吊り元側端枠８が吊り元支柱１側に当接して第１番目の扉単体１０ａがその吊り元側のヒンジ軸４３廻りに後方に回動するため、案内部材を設けて第１係脱ローラ１８ａを折り畳み方向に後方へと案内する必要はないが、第１係脱ローラ１８ａの蹴り出し後に扉単体１０ａが吊り元側へと移動する距離が長い場合には、案内部材を設けて案内することが望ましい。第２の実施例の場合も同様である。 In the embodiment, the guide member 25 is provided so as to guide the second engagement / disengagement rollers 18b, 18c, but the guide member is provided on the door contact side of the first kick-out member 22a so as to guide the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a. May be provided separately. In the case of the first embodiment, the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a is kicked out by the first kick-out member 22a when the two single doors 10a and 10b on the suspension side are folded, and then immediately on the suspension side. Since the end frame 8 abuts on the suspension base column 1 side and the first door unit 10a rotates backward about the hinge shaft 43 on the suspension base side, a guide member is provided to displace the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a. Although it is not necessary to guide backward in the folding direction, a guide member may be provided and guided when the distance that the door unit 10a moves to the suspension side after the first engagement / disengagement roller 18a is kicked out is long. desirable. The same applies to the case of the second embodiment.

実施例の案内部材２５は案内面側が略真っ直ぐな逆Ｌ字状の断面形状になっているが、その他の断面形状の部材を用いてもよいし、案内面側を弓状、その他の曲面状にしてもよい。また扉本体７を構成する扉単体は、奇数枚、偶数枚の何れでも良い。例えば扉単体の数が奇数枚で、その各扉単体相互を連結する中間のヒンジ手段が第１の実施例に示すように２点式の場合には、偶数番目のヒンジ手段に対応して走行手段１４ａ〜１４ｄを設け、扉本体７を吊り元側で折り畳んだ際にも、その戸当たり側端の１枚の扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆは吊り元側へと移動するのみとしてもよい。従って、その場合に戸当たり側端の１枚の扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆは、他の各扉単体１０ａ〜１０ｆと略同じ幅にする必要もない。 The guide member 25 of the embodiment has an inverted L-shaped cross-sectional shape that is substantially straight on the guide surface side, but other cross-sectional members may be used, the guide surface side is bow-shaped, and other curved shapes are used. It may be. Further, the door unit constituting the door body 7 may be an odd number or an even number. For example, when there are an odd number of doors and the intermediate hinge means for connecting the doors to each other is a two-point system as shown in the first embodiment, it runs corresponding to the even-numbered hinge means. Even when the means 14a to 14d are provided and the door main body 7 is folded on the suspension side, the single door unit 10a to 10f at the door end side may be moved only to the suspension side. Therefore, in that case, the single door unit 10a to 10f at the door end side edge does not need to have substantially the same width as the other door units 10a to 10f.

更に実施例では車庫の出入口用の折り畳み扉を例示したが、車庫の出入口用以外でも同様に実施できる。例えば、建造物内の間仕切り用として使用することも可能である。 Furthermore, although the folding door for the entrance of a garage was illustrated in the Example, it can implement similarly except for the entrance of a garage.
