Hereinafter, the partition to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the partition 1 includes a panel 2a, a panel 2b, and a panel 2c, and these panels 2a to 2c are suspended from an upper rail 3 which is a rail. In the partition 1 here, the panel 2a and the panel 2b, and the panel 2b and the panel 2c are independent, and the other panel moves in conjunction with the movement of one panel. Absent. That is, the panel 2a and the panel 2b, and the panel 2b and the panel 2c are not connected by a hinge or the like.

In the closed state of the partition 1, the panels 2a to 2c are lined up in a row on one upper rail 3, and the panels 2a to 2c do not move along the upper rail 3, that is, two spaces. It is in a state of being partitioned into. As shown in FIG. 1B, the position of the panel 2a located on the one end side of the upper rail 3 is usually used as the entrance / exit 4 of the two spaces partitioned by the partition 1. The panel 2a is rotated about the support shaft of the runner 5 when one of the vertical edges extending in the vertical direction is pushed while the doorway 4 is closed (arrow D1 direction). Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the panel 2a is in a state where the panel surfaces intersect with respect to the moving direction, and as shown in FIG. 1 (d), the wall is in a state orthogonal to the moving direction. It is moved along the upper rail 3 until it approaches the wall surface 6a of the portion 6 (direction of arrow D2). As a result, the doorway 4 is opened.

When opening the partition between the two spaces partitioned by the partition 1, as shown in FIG. 1 (e), the second panel 2b located at the center is rotated around the support axis of the runner 5 (arrow). (D1 direction), as shown in FIG. 1 (f), it is moved along the upper rail 3 until it overlaps with the panel 2a (arrow D2 direction). Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (g), the third panel 2c is rotated about the support axis of the runner 5 (in the direction of arrow D1), and as shown in FIG. 1 (h), the second panel It is moved along the upper rail 3 until it overlaps with 2b (in the direction of arrow D2).

In the state where the space is partitioned by the partition 1, since the panel 2a is used as the door of the doorway 4, the opening / closing operation is performed more frequently than the other panels 2b and 2c. Therefore, it is desired to improve the operability of the panel 2a.

[First Embodiment]
As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, in the first embodiment, the panels 2a to 2c move with a pair of vertical stiles 12a and 12b forming a vertical edge portion in which the panel plate 11 extends in the vertical direction. It is held by a pair of horizontal stiles 12c (the lower horizontal stile is not shown) forming a horizontal edge portion extending in the lateral direction, which is also a direction. Further, a runner 5 traveling on the upper rail 3 is fixed to the upper horizontal frame 12c at a central position in the lateral direction.

The runner 5 is a straight runner that travels straight on the upper rail 3, and includes a runner main body 16. Four wheels 17 are rotatably supported on the runner body 16. As an example, each wheel 17 is a wheel with a ball bearing, and rolls in the upper rail 3 in a state where it cannot move up and down. The upper end of the support shaft 18 which is the rotation center of the panels 2a to 2c is fixed to the runner main body 16, and the support shaft 18 is held by the shaft holding member 19 arranged in the horizontal frame 12c. The shaft holding member 19 is fixed to the horizontal frame 12c of the panels 2a to 2c with a fixing member such as a screw. The support shaft 18 rotatably supports the panels 2a to 2c with respect to the upper rail 3 in the arrow D1 direction and the counter-arrow D1 direction.

In the panels 2a to 2c, the latch member 13 is provided on the vertical frame 12b side in the counter-arrow D2 direction with respect to the runner 5. The latch member 13 includes a latch portion 13a that appears and disappears in the direction of the upper rail 3 with respect to the horizontal frame 12c. The latch portion 13a is a protruding member such as a sphere urged by an elastic body in a direction of engaging with the rail opening 24 of the upper rail 3, and is engaged with the rail opening 24 of the upper rail 3 by protruding from the surroundings. It is configured to fit.

The upper rail 3 on which the runner 5 travels includes a front wall 21, a rear wall 22 facing the front wall 21, and an upper wall 23 connecting the front wall 21 and the rear wall 22. Further, the lower surface of the upper rail 3 is provided with a rail opening 24 through which the support shaft 18 is inserted along the longitudinal direction, and rail pieces 25 are provided on both sides of the rail opening 24. The runner 5 is arranged inside the upper rail 3 so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction. The rail piece 25 is a rail on which the wheels 17 of the runner 5 roll. Further, the latch portion 13a is also engaged with the rail opening 24.

The vertical stile 12a in the arrow D2 direction of the panel 2a and the vertical stile 12b in the counter-arrow D2 direction of the panel 2c are abutted against the wall portion 6. The wall portion 6 includes a wall surface stile 26 to which the vertical stile 12a of the panel 2a and the vertical stile 12b of the panel 2c are abutted. The wall surface stile 26 is a long plate-shaped member extending in the vertical direction on the wall portion 6. The end of the wall stile 26 is coupled to the end of the upper rail 3. A weight 31 as a load applying member is arranged so as to be movable in the vertical direction in the space 27 on the back surface side of the wall surface stile 26 to which the vertical stile 12a of the panel 2a is abutted. The weight 31 is a weight member having a weight that allows the panel 2a to move by its own weight, and has a long shape that can be stored in the space portion 27.

The space portion 27 is an elongated space extending vertically, and the upper end portion communicates with the internal space of the upper rail 3. At the end of the upper rail 3, a pulley 28 as a route changing member for changing the route of the wire 32 is arranged. The runner 5 and the weight 31 are connected by a wire 32 as a transmission member, and the wire 32 passes through the upper rail 3 and is routed to the pulley 28. The pulley 28 changes the path of the wire 32 by approximately 90 °, and changes the path of the wire 32 extending inside the upper rail 3 so as to extend into the space 27. The weight 31 tries to fall downward by its own weight, thereby applying a load to the runner 5 of the panel 2a to urge the runner 5 in the direction of arrow D2.

Next, the operation of the partition 1 in the first embodiment will be described.
In a state where the panel 2a closes the doorway 4, the panel 2a is urged in the direction of arrow D2 by the weight 31, and the vertical stile 12a located in the direction of arrow D1 is pressed against the wall surface stile 26. It is in. The panels 2b and 2c are also in a closed state in which they are lined up in a row on the same plane as the panel 2a. In this state, the panel 2a is maintained in the closed state by preventing the panel 2a from rotating about the support shaft 18 by engaging the latch portion 13a of the latch member 13 with the rail opening 24. Further, the panels 2b and 2c are also maintained in the closed state by engaging the latch portion 13a with the rail opening 24.

In order to open the doorway 4, a position biased toward either one of the vertical stiles 12a and 12b is pressed from the position of the runner 5 on the panel 2a. In FIG. 3, the pressure is applied counterclockwise (in the direction of arrow D1). Then, the latch portion 13a comes off from the rail opening 24. Next, the panel 2a starts to rotate in the direction of arrow D1 about the support shaft 18 of the runner 5, and the runner 5 of the panel 2a starts to move in the direction of arrow D2 due to the load of the weight 31.

When the runner 5 is pulled by the weight 31 and tries to move in the direction of the arrow D2, the vertical stile 12a always comes into contact with the wall surface stile 26 to the wall surface 6a. Therefore, the panel 2a rotates in the direction of arrow D1 about the support shaft 18 when the vertical frame 12a is pushed by the wall surface 6a or the wall surface frame 26. That is, the panel 2a automatically travels straight in the direction of arrow D2 while rotating in the direction of arrow D1 due to the load of the weight 31. The panel 2a rotates about the support shaft 18 until it becomes orthogonal to the arrow D2 direction, and is in contact with the wall surface 6a in a state where the panel surface is parallel to the wall surface 6a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the panel 2a is in the retracted state, and the doorway 4 is in the opened state. The direction of rotation of the panel 2a may be the counter-arrow D1 direction instead of the D1 direction.

When the panels 2b and 2c are stored, the panels 2b and 2c are manually rotated in the arrow D1 direction or the counter-arrow D1 direction, and then moved in the arrow D2 direction until they overlap with the panel 2a. As a result, the panels 2a to 2c are stored in a state of being overlapped with each other in parallel with the wall surface 6a.

To close the doorway 4, the panel 2a is rotated in the counter-arrow D1 direction. Then, the vertical stile 12a is pushed by the wall surface 6a, and the runner 5 goes straight in the counter-arrow D2 direction against the load by the weight 31. That is, the panel 2a moves in the counter-arrow D2 direction while rotating in the counter-arrow D1 direction. Then, the panel 2a is in a closed state in which the panels 2a are lined up in a row so as to form the same plane as the panels 2b and 2c, and the doorway 4 is closed. The closed state is maintained by engaging the latch portion 13a with the rail opening 24.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the effects described below can be obtained.
(1-1) When opening the doorway 4, the operator simply pushes the panel 2a and rotates it around the support shaft 18, and the panel 2a is naturally moved in the direction of arrow D2 by the load of the weight 31, and is in the retracted state. It is said that. That is, the operation of moving the panel 2a in the direction of the arrow D2 becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the operability when opening the doorway 4 can be improved.

(1-2) The weight 31 can apply a load to the runner 5 of the panel 2a by its own weight.
(1-3) By disposing the weight 31 inside the wall surface stile 26, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the design due to the exposure of the weight 31.

(1-4) By providing the pulley 28, the route of the wire 32 can be changed with a simple configuration.
(1-5) By providing the latch member 13, the panel 2a can maintain the doorway 4 in a closed state. Then, the latch member 13 can easily engage and disengage the latch portion 13a with respect to the rail opening 24.

The first embodiment may be modified as follows.
-The latch member 13 may be provided at any position of the horizontal frame 12c in the moving direction. That is, the horizontal stile 12c may be provided at a position biased toward the vertical stile 12a with respect to the runner 5, or may be provided at a position biased toward the vertical stile 12b.

The latch member 13 does not have to be provided on all the panels 2a to 2c. For example, the latch member 13 may be provided only on the panels 2b and 2c, and the latch member 13 may not be provided on the panel 2a. Further, the latch member 13 may be provided on the lower horizontal frame. In this case, the floor surface is provided with a member having an engaging hole such as a hole with which the latch member 13 engages.

The latch member 13 may be omitted in order to facilitate the rotation of the panels 2a to 2c in the arrow D1 direction.
The load-applying member that pulls the runner 5 of the panel 2a in the direction of the arrow D2 is not limited to the weight 31. For example, an elastic member such as a coil spring is arranged in the space 27, one end of the coil spring is locked to the wall 6 or the wall stile 26, and the other end is locked to the end of the wire 32. As a result, the runner 5 of the panel 2a can always be pulled in the direction of the arrow D2.

-A spring wire may be used as the load applying member. In this case, the spring wire is arranged in the space portion 27, one end of the spring wire is locked to the wall portion 6 and the wall surface stile 26, and the other end is locked to the runner 5 of the panel 2a. As a result, the runner 5 of the panel 2a can always be pulled in the direction of the arrow D2.

The structure of the pulley 28, the weight 31 and the wire 32 may be provided on the side of the panel 2c, or may be provided on both the panel 2a and the panel 2c.
A guide curved surface or a guide shaft for changing the route of the wire 32 may be provided at one end of the horizontal stile 12c as a route changing member instead of the pulley 28.

The partition 1 may be provided with a lower rail. In this case, the panels 2a to 2c are provided with a lower runner that runs along the lower rail. The load of the panels 2a to 2c will be supported by one or both of the runner 5 and the lower runner. The structure of the pulley 28, the weight 31 and the wire 32 can be provided in the lower runner of the panel 2a to obtain the same effect.

-The panels 2a to 2c are provided with a regulating portion that regulates the rotation range so that the rotation amount centered on the support shaft 18 is in the range of 90 ° with respect to the movement direction along the upper rail 3. May be good.

The vertical stile 12a of the panel 2a comes into contact with the wall portion 6 when it changes between the closed state and the retracted state. Therefore, a roller may be provided at the contact portion of the vertical frame 12a so that the wall portion 6 can be smoothly moved.

The angle of the wall portions 6 of the panels 2a to 2c in the stored state with respect to the wall surface is not parallel to the wall surface and may have an inclination of 90 ° or less with respect to the wall surface. May have. The inclination can be controlled by defining the rotation range of the support shaft 18.

[Second Embodiment]
As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, in the second embodiment, the panels 2a to 2c have a pair of vertical frames 12a and 12b in which the panel plate 11 extends in the vertical direction and a horizontal direction which is also a moving direction. It is supported by a pair of extending horizontal stiles 12c (the lower horizontal stile is not shown). Further, a runner 5 running on the main rail 41 constituting the upper rail is fixed to the upper horizontal frame 12c at the center in the lateral direction. Since the runner 5 of the second embodiment has the same configuration as the runner 5 of the first embodiment, the details thereof will be omitted.

In the panels 2a to 2c, the horizontal stile 12c is provided with a guide member 14 on the vertical stile 12a side in the arrow D2 direction with respect to the runner 5. Here, the guide member 14 is provided at a position adjacent to the vertical frame 12a. The guide member 14 includes an engaging portion 14a elastically urged in a direction of engaging with the rail opening 24 with respect to the horizontal frame 12c. The engaging portion 14a is a protruding member such as a sphere urged by an elastic body in a direction of engaging with the rail opening 24, and is a latch member that engages with the rail opening 24 by protruding from the surroundings.

The upper rail on which the runner 5 travels includes a main rail 41 on which the runner 5 and the guide member 14 can move, and an auxiliary rail 42 on which the guide member 14 can move. The auxiliary rail 42 is connected to one end of the main rail 41, and forms an L shape as a whole. Of the L-shape, the main rail 41 corresponds to the long side portion, and the auxiliary rail 42 corresponds to the short side portion. Both the main rail 41 and the auxiliary rail 42 have the same configuration, and also have the same configuration as the upper rail 3 of the first embodiment. The auxiliary rail 42 is arranged at a position close to the wall portion 6 so as to be perpendicular to the main rail 41, and the panel 2a is stored in a state where the panel surface of the panel 2a is close to the wall portion 6. It can be so. The length of the auxiliary rail 42 from the branch point to the tip of the main rail 41 is the same as or longer than the length from the branch point to the position of the guide member 14 when the panel 2a is in the retracted state. .. The rail opening 24 of the auxiliary rail 42 is connected to the rail opening 24 of the main rail 41 and branches from the rail opening 24 of the main rail 41.

The connecting position of the main rail 41 and the auxiliary rail 42 is the position of the engaging portion 14a when the panel 2a is in the closed state and the doorway 4 is closed. Since the rail opening 24 at the connecting position is an L-shaped corner, the opening is larger than the rail opening 24 as the main rail opening of the main rail 41 and the rail opening 24 as the auxiliary rail opening of the auxiliary rail 42. The engaging portion 14a that is urged in the protruding direction by the elastic body becomes the engaged portion 14b that is firmly engaged. The position of the engaged portion 14b is a branch point at which the rail opening 24 of the auxiliary rail 42 branches from the rail opening 24 of the main rail 41. The rail opening 24 may be formed in the engaged portion 14b at the same position so that the engaging portion 14a is firmly engaged. For example, the engaged portion 14b may be formed by superimposing a circular hole having a diameter larger than the opening width of the rail opening 24 on the rail opening 24 at the same position.

The position of the engaged portion 14b is the holding position where the guide member 14 holds the panel 2a in the closed state. Then, the guide member 14 regulates the rotation of the panel 2a and keeps it in the closed state by engaging the engaging portion 14a with the engaged portion 14b. The engaging portion 14a is pushed by the rail piece 25 when it disengages from the engaged portion 14b and moves to the rail opening 24 of the main rail 41 or the rail opening 24 of the auxiliary rail 42 branching from the rail opening 24 of the main rail 41. And it sinks a little. Then, the engaging portion 14a moves each rail opening 24 while weakly engaging with the rail opening 24 of the main rail 41 and the rail opening 24 of the auxiliary rail 42.

The panels 2b and 2c also include a guide member 14 on the vertical stile 12a side of the horizontal stile 12c runner 5. In the guide member 14 of the panels 2b and 2c, the engaging portion 14a engages with the engaged portion 14b formed in the rail opening of the main rail 41, restricts the rotation of the panels 2b and 2c, and maintains the closed state. To do.

Next, the operation of the partition 1 in the second embodiment will be described.
In a state where the panel 2a closes the doorway 4, the panel 2a is maintained in a closed state by engaging the engaging portion 14a of the guide member 14 with the engaged portion 14b. The panels 2b and 2c are also in the same state as the panel 2a, and are in a closed state in which they are lined up in a row on the same plane as the panel 2a. Further, the panels 2b and 2c are also maintained in the closed state by the engaging portion 14a engaging with the rail opening 24.

In order to open the doorway 4, the panel 2a presses the position of the runner 5, that is, a position biased toward either one of the vertical frames 12a and 12b from the center position in the horizontal direction. In FIG. 6, the pressure is applied counterclockwise (in the direction of arrow D1). Then, the engaging portion 14a of the guide member 14 on the panel 2a is disengaged from the engaged portion 14b. Next, when the panel 2a starts to rotate in the direction of arrow D1 about the support shaft 18 of the runner 5, the engaging portion 14a advances the rail opening 24 of the auxiliary rail 42 toward the end. Along with this, the runner 5 of the panel 2a also advances in the direction of arrow D2. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the engaging portion 14a reaches the tip end portion of the auxiliary rail 42, the panel 2a is in the retracted state and the doorway 4 is in the opened state. At this time, the runner 5 of the panel 2a also reaches the end of the auxiliary rail 42 of the main rail 41.

When storing the panels 2b and 2c, the panels 2b and 2c are manually rotated in the direction of the arrow D1 or the counter-arrow D1 to disengage the engaging portion 14a from the rail opening 24 of the main rail 41, and then move the panel 2a in the direction of the arrow D2. It will be moved until it overlaps. As a result, the panels 2a to 2c are stored in a state of being overlapped with each other in parallel with the wall surface 6a.

To close the doorway 4, the panel 2a is rotated in the counter-arrow D1 direction. Then, the engaging portion 14a of the guide member 14 on the panel 2a starts to move from the tip end portion of the auxiliary rail 42 toward the main rail 41, that is, toward the engaged portion 14b of the rail opening 24. Further, the runner 5 goes straight in the counter arrow D2 direction. That is, the panel 2a moves in the counter-arrow D2 direction while rotating in the counter-arrow D1 direction. Then, the panel 2a is in a closed state in which the panels 2a are lined up in a row so as to form the same plane as the panels 2b and 2c, and the doorway 4 is closed. The closed state is maintained by engaging the engaging portion 14a with the engaged portion 14b.

When the panels 2b and 2c are in a state of being moved in parallel with the wall surface 6a in the counter-arrow D2 direction, the panel 2a can also be moved in the counter-arrow D2 direction. In this case, the panel 2a is guided by the runner 5 and the guide member 14 and moved in the counter-arrow D2 direction.

As described above, when the panel 2a is stored in the direction of the arrow D2, the runner 5 moves the main rail 41, and the guide member 14 moves from the engaged portion 14b located on the main rail 41 to the tip of the auxiliary rail 42. Move to the department. Further, when the panel 2a is moved in the direction of the counter-arrow D2, the runner 5 and the guide member 14 move the main rail 41. As described above, the runner 5 of the panel 2a can move only the main rail 41, but the guide member 14 can move the main rail 41 and the auxiliary rail 42.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the effects described below can be obtained.
(2-1) When the doorway 4 is opened, the operator simply pushes the panel 2a and rotates it around the support shaft 18, and the panel 2a is naturally moved in the direction of the arrow D2 to be in the stored state. That is, the operation of moving the panel 2a in the direction of the arrow D2 becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the operability when opening the doorway 4 can be improved.

(2-2) The guide member 14 can provide guidance when moving the main rail 41 together with the runner 5. Then, when rotating in the direction of arrow D1 to store the panel 2a, it is possible to guide the auxiliary rail 42.

(2-3) The runner 5 can be a guide member dedicated to the main rail 41.
(2-4) The guide member 14 can be held in the closed state by engaging the engaging portion 14a with the engaged portion 14b.

The second embodiment may be modified as follows.
-In the second embodiment, an example in which the panel 2a is put into the retracted state by using the auxiliary rail 42 has been described, but further, as shown in FIG. 8, an auxiliary rail 43 for putting the panel 2b into the retracted state is provided. May be good. Further, an auxiliary rail 44 for storing the panel 2c may be provided.

In this case, for the panel 2b, the guide member 14 of the panel 2b is moved along the main rail 41 to the position of the auxiliary rail 43. Then, as with the panel 2a, the operator pushes the panel 2b and rotates it around the support shaft 18. As a result, the panel 2b is naturally moved in the direction of the arrow D2 and is in a stored state overlapping with the panel 2a. As for the panel 2c, the guide member 14 of the panel 2c is moved along the main rail 41 to the position of the auxiliary rail 44. Next, as with the panels 2a and 2c, the operator pushes the panel 2c and rotates it around the support shaft 18. As a result, the panel 2c is naturally moved in the direction of the arrow D2 and is in a stored state overlapping with the panel 2b.

-As shown in FIG. 9, in the second embodiment, the structure of the pulley 28, the weight 31 and the wire 32 may be added to the panel 2a as in the first embodiment.
