BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an opening / closing skylight having a skylight that can be freely opened and closed, and more particularly to a mechanism for opening and closing a large-scale opening and closing skylight.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, openable skylights in which skylights can be freely opened and closed have been used for pools, walkways and the like. As a mechanism for opening and closing such an openable skylight, in the case of a relatively small-sized skylight, a method of pulling up or sliding the skylight itself by using a wire or the like is adopted, while a method used for an indoor pool or the like is adopted. A large skylight is opened and closed using a mechanism such as a sliding door type or a push-up type.

FIG. 4 schematically shows the structure of a conventional openable skylight. (A) is a view of a sliding door-type skylight viewed from the front, and (B) is a view of the sliding door-type skylight viewed from the side. This sliding door-type skylight has an arched inner window 12 on a base 10.
And the outer window 14 is disposed, and the inner window 12 is
By sliding inside, an open portion is formed in a part of the skylight.

FIGS. 1C and 1D show push-up skylights viewed from the front. Here, (C) shows the skylight closed state, and (D) shows the open state. This push-up type skylight is an arched window 1 arranged on a base 10.
6 is hinged to one end 16a and the other end is a push-up bar 18
As a result, a part of the window body 16 is opened as shown in FIG.

[0005]

However, the above-described sliding door-type skylight requires a motor for driving the inner window body 12 and the like, which requires large equipment and is disadvantageous in cost. In addition, as the inner window 12 slides, there is also a problem in the durability of the overlapping portion between the inner window 12 and the outer window 14. On the other hand, in the push-up type skylight, since the window body 16 is directly pushed up, various considerations are required for the structure of the window body 16 and the push-up bar 18, and the configuration (structure) of the entire skylight becomes complicated. was there.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to provide a low-cost openable skylight with a simple structure.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a skylight section comprising a plurality of hinged beams, and a plurality of window bodies arranged on the plurality of beams. And a drive means for vertically moving a part of the hinge joint of the beam up and down to bring the plurality of windows into close contact with each other and to separate them, thereby forming an opening in the skylight.

[0008]

The present invention employs an extremely mechanical structure that opens and closes the skylight using gravity as described above, and does not require any special complicated equipment. That is, since the hinge joint of the beam is moved up and down and the beam is pivoted about the hinge joint to bring the plurality of windows into close contact with and separate from each other, the skylight can be opened and closed with a simple configuration. be able to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration (partially omitted) of an openable / closed skylight 20 for an indoor pool according to the embodiment. It should be noted that the openable window 20 shown in FIG.
Is centered on the near side because it has a symmetrical structure on the near side and on the far side of the page.

The openable skylight 20 has two arched windows 22 and beams 24 and 26 for supporting the two windows.
And bellows 28 respectively covering the ends of the two window bodies 22,
It is composed of two support bars 32 for supporting two joint portions (pins) 30 of the beams 24 and 26, and a drive mechanism 33 for vertically moving these support bars 32 up and down.
In addition, since the illustrated openable / closed skylight 20 has a left-right symmetric structure, the reference numerals and the description of the corresponding portions that overlap are omitted.

The two window bodies 20 have the same arched shape, have glass windows 34 formed on the surface, and an elastic rubber 36 is provided at the contact portion of both window bodies 20. The bellows 28 provided at the end of the window 20 shields a gap at the end of the window 20, and absorbs the displacement of the window 20 by expanding and contracting.

The beams 24 and 26 have pins 30, 3 respectively.
It is hinged by 8,40. That is, each of the beams 24 is disposed along the lower edge of the window body 20, one end of the beam 24 is rotatably supported by the pin 38 at the contact portion between the window bodies 20, and the other end is rotated by the support bar 32 by the pin 30. It is movably supported. On the other hand, each of the beams 26 is rotatably supported at one end by the pins 30 together with the beams 24 on the support bar 32, and the other end is rotatably supported by the pins 40. The pins 30 and 40 are supported so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction.

The support bar 32 is vertically expanded and contracted by a drive mechanism 33 (electrically driven, screw-type jack, etc.), thereby raising and lowering the pin 30 and displacing the beam 24.

Next, the operation and operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
FIGS. 2A and 2B are skeleton diagrams showing a mechanism of the openable skylight shown in FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 1A shows a closed state, and FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2A, when the skylight 20 in the closed state is opened, the two support bars 32 are contracted by the driving mechanism 33. When the support bar 32 shrinks, the pin 30 descends, and the two windows 22 open left and right by the rotation of the beams 24 and 26, as shown in FIG. At this time, the pins 30 and 40 slide slightly outward. The contraction of the support bar 32 is performed until the beams 24 and 26 are aligned, and fixed in that position. Thereby, ventilation in the pool is performed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the skylight 20 in the open state is closed, the two support bars 32 are extended by the action of the driving mechanism 33. Support bar 3
When 2 is extended, the pin 30 is raised, and the two windows 22 abut at the center as shown in FIG.
The skylight 20 is closed. At this time, the pins 30, 40 slightly slide inward. Also, two windows 2
2 are in contact with each other via an elastic rubber 36 (not shown in FIG. 2), so that the impact at the time of collision is alleviated, and
2 is secured.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 will be described. In the figure, (A) is a closed state, and (B) is an open state. This embodiment is mechanically different from the above-described embodiment in the number of beams and the structure of the window itself. That is, in this embodiment, two beams 52 are arranged on the left and right, the two beams 52 are supported by the three hinges by the pins 54 and 56, and the center pin 54 is supported by the support bar 58 and the driving mechanism 60. It is designed to be moved up and down. Further, the two window members 62 are connected to the beams 52 as in the above embodiment.
And is slidable on the beam 52 by the pin roller 64. Reference numeral 66 denotes a bellows, which acts to shield a gap at the end of the window body 62 as in the above embodiment.

Next, the operation of another embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be briefly described. First, FIG.
As shown in (A), when the skylight 62 in the closed state is opened, the support bar 58 is extended by the drive mechanism 60. When the support bar 58 extends, the pin 54 rises and the beam 5
2 is inclined left and right with the pin 54 as the vertex. Thereby, the window body 62 slides in the left-right direction along the inclination of the beam 52, and an opening is formed at the center.

Conversely, as shown in FIG. 3B, when closing the open skylight 50, the support bar 58 is contracted. When the support bar 58 shrinks, the pin 54 descends, and the beam 52 is inclined to the lowest point. Thereby, the window body 62
Slides toward the center along the inclination of the beam 52, and abuts each other at the center to close the skylight 50. Although not shown, both windows 6 as in the embodiment shown earlier.
Elastic rubber is disposed at the abutment portion 2.
