  The shoji 30 includes a shoji main body 31, an operation unit 32, a door roller 33, and a contact sliding member 34.

  The shoji main body 31 is a substantially rectangular flat plate. In a state where the shoji 30 is closed, the shoji main body 31 closes the opening 21. In this example, two sash main bodies 31 are provided. The length of the main body 31 in the vertical direction is, for example, approximately equal to the vertical length of the opening 21 or slightly longer than the vertical length of the opening 21. The length of one sash main body 31 in the left-right direction is, for example, about half the length of the opening 21 in the left-right direction, or slightly longer than half the length of the opening 21 in the left-right direction.

  In addition, each of the shoji main bodies 31 is provided at a position where they do not overlap in the left-right direction. In other words, each of the shoji main bodies 31 is provided at a different position in the front-back direction. On the lower frame 20b, the same number of rail portions 23 as the shoji main body 31 are provided so as to be arranged in the front-rear direction. In this example, two rail portions 23 are provided so as to be arranged in the front-rear direction.

  In this example, two sash main bodies 31 are provided, but the number of sash main bodies 31 provided is not limited to this. In the embodiment, for example, one sash main body 31 may be provided, or three or more sash main bodies 31 may be provided. When one sash main body 31 is provided, the length of the sash main body 31 in the left-right direction is, for example, about the same as the length of the opening 21 in the left-right direction, or slightly smaller than the length of the opening 21 in the left-right direction. long. When three sash main bodies 31 are provided, the length of one sash main body 31 in the left-right direction is, for example, about １ ／ of the length of the opening 21 in the left-right direction or the length of the opening 21 in the left-right direction. Slightly longer than 1/3 of the length.

  The upper frame 20a of the frame body 20 has, for example, a base (not shown) and a rail (not shown) projecting downward from the lower surface of the base and extending in the left-right direction along the base. A groove (not shown) that is recessed downward, for example, is provided on a surface of the upper portion 31a of the main body 31 that faces the upper frame 20a. The shoji main body 31 moves in the left-right direction along the rail portion 23 with the rail portion of the upper frame 20a fitted in a groove provided in the upper portion 31a of the shoji main body 31.

  The operation unit 32 is an operation unit for sliding the shoji 30 with the user's hand. The operation unit 32 is, for example, a handle. The operation unit 32 is provided, for example, on one side of the center CL in the left-right direction of the shoji main body 31. In other words, the operation unit 32 is provided on the left or right side of the center CL in the left-right direction of the shoji main body 31. In this example, the operation unit 32 is provided at the left end of the shoji main body 31 provided to the left of the opening 21.

  For example, when the shoji 30 is closed as shown in FIG. 1, by applying a rightward force to the operation unit 32, the shoji main body 31 can be moved rightward and the opening 21 can be opened. On the other hand, for example, in a state where the shoji screen 30 is open, by applying a leftward force to the operation unit 32, the shoji main body 31 can be moved leftward and the opening 21 can be closed.

  FIG. 1 shows the operation unit 32 provided on the front side (undressing room side) of the shoji main body 31. For example, the operation unit 32 is provided on the rear side (bathroom side) of the shoji main body 31. Also provided on the surface. The operation unit 32 on the bathroom side is provided, for example, behind the operation unit 32 on the undressing room side. In other words, the operation unit 32 on the bathroom side is provided, for example, at a position overlapping the operation unit 32 on the undressing room side in the front-rear direction.

  The door roller 33 is provided at a lower portion 31 b of the shoji main body 31. In this example, one door roller 33 is provided at each of both ends in the left-right direction on the surface facing the lower frame 20b of the lower portion 31b of the shoji main body 31. The door roller 33 is provided, for example, rotatable clockwise and counterclockwise in a front view.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3A, the door roller 33 has, for example, a shaft 331 and a wheel 332. The wheel section 332 is rotatable about the shaft section 331. For example, a groove 333 that is recessed toward the shaft 331 is provided on the tread surface of the wheel 332.

  The door roller 33 is located between the sash main body 31 and the rail portion 23 of the lower frame 20b when the sash 30 is attached to the frame 20. When the wheel portion 332 of the door roller 33 rotates in a state where the rail portion 23 is fitted in the groove portion 333 of the door roller 33, the shoji main body 31 moves in the left-right direction along the rail portion 23. In other words, the door roller 33 can move the shoji main body 31 along the rail part 23 by rotating on the rail part 23 along the rail part 23.

  When two or more sash main bodies 31 are provided, for example, two door rollers 33 are provided for one sash main body 31. Further, the number of door rollers 33 provided in one shoji main body 31 is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.

  The contact sliding member 34 is connected to the lower part 31 b of the main body 31 of the shoji. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3B, the contact sliding member 34 is in contact with the upper end 23 a of the rail 23 of the lower frame 20 b along with the sash main body 31 along the rail 23. It can slide left and right. As described above, by sliding the contact sliding member 34 in a state of being in contact with the upper end 23a of the rail 23, it is possible to remove the scale attached to the upper end 23a of the rail 23. The structure of the contact sliding member 34 will be described later.

FIG. 4 is a front view schematically illustrating the fitting according to the embodiment.
FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are front views schematically showing a part of the fitting according to the embodiment in an enlarged manner.
FIG. 5A shows a state in which the shoji main body 31 is lowered.
FIG. 5B shows a state where the main body 31 of the shoji is raised.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the shoji main body 31 is attached so as to be substantially perpendicular to the upper frame 20a and the lower frame 20b in a state where the shoji 30 is stopped (not sliding). . In this state, the load of the sliding door main body 31 is applied to the contact sliding member 34. On the other hand, when the user slides the shoji 30, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the side on which the operating portion 32 of the shoji main body 31 is provided is lifted, so The load on the shoji body 31 is no longer applied. The shoji 30 is slid, for example, in a state where the load of the shoji main body 31 is not applied to the contact sliding member 34. The shoji 30 may be slid, for example, in a state where at least a part of the load of the shoji main body 31 is applied to the contact sliding member 34.

  In other words, the shoji main body 31 has a first state placed on the rail 23 inside the opening 21 and a second state at least a part of which is located higher than the first state. Can be moved. When the sash 30 is slid, the sash main body 31 is in the second state. In the first state, a load of the shoji main body 31 is applied to the contact sliding member 34. In the second state, the load of the sliding door main body 31 is not applied to the contact sliding member 34. Alternatively, in the second state, the load of the sliding door body 31 applied to the contact sliding member 34 is smaller than the load of the sliding door body 31 related to the contact sliding member 34 in the first state.

  In the embodiment, the contact sliding member 34 is provided so that the load of the sash main body 31 is applied to the contact sliding member 34 when the shoji 30 is stopped. The contact sliding member 34 is provided, for example, so that the load of the shoji main body 31 is not applied to the contact sliding member 34 when the sliding door 30 is sliding. For example, in a state where the main body 31 is lowered as shown in FIG. 5A, a part of the lower part 31b of the main body 31 is placed on the contact sliding member 34, so that the load of the main body 31 is reduced. Hangs on the contact sliding member 34. On the other hand, in the state where the main body 31 is raised as shown in FIG. 5B, the portion of the lower part 31 b of the main body 31 that has been placed on the contact sliding member 34 is separated from the contact sliding member 34. As a result, the load of the shoji main body 31 is not applied to the contact sliding member 34.

  As described above, in the embodiment, when the user moves the sash 30, the load of the sash main body 31 is prevented from being applied to the contact sliding member 34 only by applying an upward force to the sash main body 31. be able to. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the contact sliding member 34 from being pressed more than necessary to the upper end portion 23a of the rail portion 23, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in slidability of the shoji 30.

  In the embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the contact sliding member 34 is connected to a lower portion on the left or right side of the center CL of the sash main body 31 in the left-right direction. The contact sliding member 34 is connected to, for example, a lower portion on the same side as the operation unit 32 in the left-right direction. In this example, the contact sliding member 34 is connected to a lower portion of the left end of the shoji main body 31 provided with the operation unit 32.

  In this manner, by providing the contact sliding member 34 on the same side as the operation unit 32, when the user moves the shoji 30, it is only necessary to apply a force upward to the shoji main body 31 via the operation unit 32. Thus, the load of the shoji main body 31 can be prevented from being applied to the contact sliding member 34. Thereby, in order to prevent the load of the shoji main body 31 from being applied to the contact sliding member 34, the force applied upward to the shoji main body 31 via the operation unit 32 can be reduced, and the contact sliding member 34 can be reduced. Unnecessarily pressing the upper end portion 23a of the rail portion 23 can be more easily suppressed, and a decrease in the slidability of the sash 30 can be more easily suppressed.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the length L1 in the left-right direction of the contact sliding member 34 is, for example, half or less of the length L2 in the left-right direction of the shoji main body 31. If the length L1 of the contact sliding member 34 in the left-right direction is such a length, the contact sliding member 34 is not unnecessarily long. The contact with the upper end 23a of the portion 23 can be suppressed. Thereby, it can further suppress that the sliding property of the shoji 30 decreases.

  In a state where the shoji 30 is stopped, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the shoji main body 31 is lowered. In other words, the shoji main body 31 is approaching the rail portion 23. At this time, the contact sliding member 34 is in contact with the upper end 23 a of the rail 23. On the other hand, as described above, when sliding the shoji 30, a force is applied upward to the shoji main body 31 to lift the shoji main body 31. Therefore, in a state where the shoji 30 is sliding, the shoji main body 31 is raised, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B. In other words, the shoji main body 31 is moving away from the rail 23.

  For example, when the contact sliding member 34 is fixed to the shoji main body 31, the contact sliding member 34 rises together with the shoji main body 31 when the shoji main body 31 is lifted upward, and It will come off. In other words, for example, when the abutment sliding member 34 is fixed to the shoji main body 31, when the shoji main body 31 is lifted upward, the abutment sliding member 34 is in contact with the upper end 23a of the rail portion 23. Is difficult to maintain.

  On the other hand, in the embodiment, the contact sliding member 34 is connected to the lower portion 31b of the shoji body 31 but is not fixed. Thus, even when the sliding door body 31 is lifted upward, the contact sliding member 34 can maintain the state in which it is in contact with the upper end 23a of the rail 23 without being lifted together with the sliding door body 31. Therefore, while suppressing the slidability of the shoji 30 from deteriorating, the upper end of the rail portion 23 is slid by sliding the contact sliding member 34 in contact with the upper end 23a of the rail portion 23. The scale attached to 23a can be removed.

  More specifically, the contact sliding member 34 is connected to, for example, the shoji main body 31 so as to be vertically movable. As a result, the contact sliding member 34 comes into contact with the upper end portion 23a of the rail portion 23 by its own weight, and therefore, even if a manufacturing tolerance occurs in the rail portion 23, the shoji main body 31, and the like, the contact sliding member 34 makes contact. The sliding member 34 and the upper end portion 23a of the rail portion 23 can be brought into a state of firmly contacting each other. Therefore, while the sliding property of the shoji 30 is more reliably suppressed from being reduced, the sliding member 34 is slid in a state where the sliding member 34 is in contact with the upper end portion 23 a of the rail portion 23, thereby enabling the rail portion 23 to slide. Scale attached to the upper end portion 23a of the cover can be removed.

Hereinafter, the contact sliding member 34 will be described in detail.
FIG. 6 is a front view schematically illustrating a contact sliding member of the fitting according to the embodiment.
7A to 7C are cross-sectional views schematically illustrating a contact sliding member of the fitting according to the embodiment.
FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC shown in FIG.
FIG. 7B is a sectional view taken along line DD shown in FIG.
FIG. 7C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A to 7C, the contact sliding member 34 has, for example, a contact portion 341, a connection portion 342, and a load portion 343.

  The contact portion 341 is located below the contact slide member 34 and contacts the upper end 23 a of the rail portion 23. The contact portion 341 has a groove 344 that is recessed upward and extends in the left-right direction on the surface facing the lower frame 20b. The contact sliding member 34 slides along the rail portion 23 together with the sash main body 31 in a state where the rail portion 23 is fitted in the groove portion 344 of the contact portion 341.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, the groove portion 344 has an inclined surface 345 that is inclined upward from a central portion 344a in the left-right direction toward both ends 344b in the left-right direction. For example, at least a part of the inclined surface 345 contacts the upper end 23 a of the rail 23. The groove 344 (inclined surface 345) contacts, for example, the front end and the rear end of the upper end 23a of the rail 23. The inclined surface 345 is, for example, a curved surface.

  By providing the groove 344 with an inclined surface 345 that is inclined upward from the center 344a in the left-right direction toward both ends 344b in the left-right direction, the contact sliding member 34 can be connected to the rail 23 near the center 344a of the groove 344. It can be brought into contact with the upper end 23a. Thereby, the contact area between the contact sliding member 34 and the upper end portion 23a of the rail portion 23 is reduced, and it is possible to further suppress a decrease in the slidability of the shoji 30. Also, for example, even when there is a step due to a tolerance at the upper end 23a of the rail section 23, the contact sliding member 34 can be prevented from being caught on the step. Accordingly, even when a step due to a manufacturing tolerance or the like occurs in the upper end 23a of the rail section 23, the dirt on the upper end 23a of the rail section 23 can be removed while overcoming the step due to the inclination.

  In this example, an engagement portion 346 protruding forward from a side surface portion on the rear side of the groove portion 344 is provided. The engaging portion 346 extends in the left-right direction along the groove 344. By providing the engaging portion 346, when the contact sliding member 34 is lifted upward, the engaging portion 346 engages with the rear extension portion 232 of the rail portion 23, and the contact sliding member 34 Departure from the part 23 can be suppressed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the sliding door body 31 connected to the contact sliding member 34 from coming off the rail portion 23 (the frame 20).

  Note that the engagement portion 346 is not limited to this, and can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the rail portion 23. For example, when the cross-sectional shape of the rail portion 23 is substantially L-shaped having an upper extension portion 231 and a front extension portion extending forward from the upper end portion 231a of the upper extension portion 231, a front side surface portion of the groove portion 344. An engagement portion 346 that projects rearward from the rear portion and engages with the front extension portion of the rail portion 23 may be provided. In addition, for example, when the cross-sectional shape of the rail portion 23 is a substantially T-shape having a front extension portion in addition to the upper extension portion 231 and the rear extension portion 232, the rail portion 23 faces forward from the rear side surface portion of the groove portion 344. An engaging portion 346 that protrudes and engages with the rear extension portion 232 of the rail portion 23, and an engaging portion 346 that protrudes rearward from the front side surface portion of the groove portion 344 and engages with the front extension portion of the rail portion 23. And both may be provided.

  In addition, the engaging portion 346 is provided as necessary and can be omitted. For example, when the cross-sectional shape of the rail portion 23 is substantially I-shaped without the upper extension 231 and the rear extension 232 and the front extension, the engaging portion 346 is omitted.

  The connecting portion 342 is provided so as to extend upward from the central region 341a of the contact portion 341 in the left-right direction. The connection portion 342 is connected to the lower portion 31b of the main body 31 of the shoji. The connecting portion 342 includes a substantially cylindrical pillar portion 342a extending upward from a central region 341a in the left-right direction of the contact portion 341; a first regulating portion 342b provided at an upper end portion of the pillar portion 342a; It has a second regulating portion 342c provided at the center in the up-down direction, and a cap 342d provided to move up and down along the column portion 342a.

  A hole that penetrates in the up-down direction and into which the cap 342d can be fitted is provided in a surface of the main body 31 facing the lower frame 20b of the lower portion 31b. The cap 342d is fitted into the hole, and is fixed to the lower portion 31b of the shoji main body 31. The cap 342d is provided with a hole penetrating in the vertical direction, and the column 342a is inserted so as to penetrate the hole in the cap 342d in the vertical direction. Thereby, the contact slide member 34 is connected to the lower part 31b of the shoji main body 31 without being fixed.

  The diameter of the hole of the cap 342d is, for example, slightly larger than the diameter of the pillar 342a. This allows the cap 342d to move up and down along the pillar 342a. In other words, the contact sliding member 34 is thereby connected to the shoji main body 31 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the diameter of the hole of the cap 342d is, for example, smaller than the diameter of the first regulating portion 342b. Thus, when the cap 342d reaches the upper end of the pillar 342a, the cap 342d is regulated by the first regulating portion 342b. The first restricting portion 342b can prevent the pillar portion 342a from coming out of the hole of the cap 342d.

  The diameter of the hole of the cap 342d is, for example, about the same as the diameter of the second restriction part 342c, or is slightly smaller than the diameter of the second restriction part 342c. Thus, when the cap 342d reaches the position where the second restriction portion 342c is provided, the cap 342d is restricted by the second restriction portion 342c. The second restricting portion 342c allows the cap 342d to remain at the position where the second restricting portion 342c is provided. For example, when the sash 30 is detached from the frame 20 and transported, it is possible to prevent the contact sliding member 34 from wobbling at a position distant from the sash main body 31 and to be damaged during transportation.

  The load portion 343 is provided so as to extend upward from both end regions 341b in the left-right direction with respect to the center region 341a in the left-right direction of the contact portion 341. The load portion 343 has, for example, a substantially prismatic shape. In this example, two load portions 343 are provided so as to sandwich the connection portion 342. Each of the plurality of load portions 343 is formed so as to be heavier than the connection portion 342. For example, the volume of the load portion 343 is larger than the volume of the connection portion 342.

  In this example, a hole which penetrates in the up-down direction and into which the load portion 343 can be inserted is provided on a surface of the lower part 31b of the main body 31 facing the lower frame 20b. The load portion 343 is inserted so as to penetrate the hole in the up-down direction.

  In this example, two load portions 343 are provided, but the number of load portions 343 is not limited to this. For example, three or more load portions 343 may be provided. Even when three or more load portions 343 are provided, it is preferable to provide at least one load portion 343 on each of the left and right sides of the connection portion 342.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an enlarged part of the fitting according to the embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 8, when the user slides the shoji 30, a force in the front-rear direction may be applied to the shoji 30. In the embodiment, even when a force in the front-rear direction is applied to the shoji 30, the abutment sliding member 34 can suppress the shoji 30 from falling down in the front-rear direction.

  As described above, the load portion 343 is inserted so as to vertically pass through a hole provided on the surface of the lower part 31b of the main body 31 facing the lower frame 20b. Therefore, when a force in the front-rear direction is applied to the shoji, the upper end of the load portion 343 and a part of the shoji main body 31 come into contact with each other, as shown in FIG. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the sash 30 from falling in the front-rear direction.

  In the embodiment, the fitting 10 is, for example, an assembling method including a step of providing a frame 20 between a bathroom and a dressing room, and a step of slidably attaching the shoji 30 to the frame 20. Can be assembled.

  More specifically, first, the frame 20 including the lower frame 20b having the rail portion 23 is provided between the bathroom and the undressing room. Then, the shoji 30 having the door roller 33 and the contact sliding member 34 attached to the lower portion 31 b of the shoji main body 31 is attached on the rail portion 23.

  According to such an assembling method, it is possible to slide the contact sliding member 34 in contact with the upper end 23a of the rail portion 23 while suppressing the sliding property of the shoji 30 from deteriorating. Thus, the fitting 10 capable of removing water scale attached to the upper end portion 23a of the rail portion 23 can be easily assembled.
