Description of the Related Art For example, a bathroom and a dressing room adjacent to the bathroom are separated by a door which can be opened and closed and held by a frame framed around the bathroom. For example, in hospitals, nursing homes, nursing homes, and the like, it is desired to obtain a large effective opening area in order to facilitate access to the bathroom, and folding doors are often used as the doors. A frame holding such a folding door is a lower frame disposed between a bathroom floor and a dressing room floor, and an upper frame disposed above and in parallel with the lower frame. It has a pair of vertical frames that connect the longitudinal ends of the upper frame and the lower frame, respectively. The folding door has a pair of sashes, and the respective mating portions of the sashes that are adjacent to each other are connected by a connecting tool so as to be angularly displaceable. It is pivotally supported by the frame and the lower frame, and one side of the other side of the sliding door opposite to the summing portion is movable along the upper and lower frames in a direction to approach and separate from one side of the one sliding door. It is supported by.

The connecting portion 133 has a slope that becomes lower from the dressing room 3 toward the bathroom 2, and has a lower end portion of the upper portion 131 on the side of the side wall 134 on the dressing room 3 side and an upper end portion of the side wall 135 on the bathroom 2 side of the lower portion 132. Are linked. Thus, the middle crossbar 130 is configured such that the side wall 136 of the upper part 131 on the bathroom side functions as a handle, and the side wall 137 of the lower part 132 on the side of the undressing room 3 functions as a handle. By constructing the middle crosspiece 130 in this manner, a handle facing the bathroom 2 and the undressing room 3 is configured, and the handle is pulled forward from the bathroom 2 and the undressing room 3, respectively.
The shoji 70 can be displaced toward the bathroom 2 or the undressing room 3. In addition, the handle provided on the bathroom 2 side is constituted by a side wall 136 that falls downward, and for example, water splashed during bathing does not accumulate in the middle crossbar 130, and is guided to the connecting portion 133 toward the bathroom 2 side. Being run down.

By connecting the widthwise ends 72, 73 of the shojis 70, 71 with the hinge 69, which is a free hinge, the widthwise ends 72, 7 of the shojis 70, 71 are connected.
3 can be displaced to the bathroom 2 side or the undressing room 3 side, which is the inside and outside directions, and can be connected to be angularly displaceable. More specifically, as shown by solid lines in FIG.
When the widthwise ends 72, 73 are displaced toward the bathroom 2 to angularly displace each of the sashes 70, 71, the connecting piece 88 and the hinge piece 89 are angularly displaced about one hinge pin 86 as an axis. Each of the sliding doors 70 and 71 has a hinge pin 8
6 is angularly displaced about the axis. Further, when the widthwise end portions 72 and 73 are angularly displaced so as to protrude toward the undressing room 3 as shown by phantom lines in FIG. 8, the connecting piece 88 and the hinge piece 90 are angularly displaced about the hinge pin 87 as an axis. As a result, each of the sashes 70 and 71 is angularly displaced about the hinge pin 87 as an axis. Therefore, by connecting the respective sliding doors 70, 71 with such a hinge 69 which is a free hinge, one end 72, 73 in the width direction of each sliding door 70, 71 is displaced toward the bathroom 2 side or the undressing room 3 side. Shoji 70, 71
Can be connected to be angularly displaceable.

The upper frame 45 is composed of an upper frame main body 48 and a door stop member 49 which can be protruded and retracted downward from the upper frame main body 48, and each of the shojis 70, 71 is a free hinge as shown in FIG. 7 and the middle crosspiece 130 of the shoji 70 is configured as shown in FIG. 7, so that the door stop member 49 is immersed in the immersion position 107 in the width direction one end of each sash 70. The folding door 1 can be opened by displacing 72, 73 toward the undressing room 3 side. Also, the lower frame 10
Upper surface 9, upper surface 26 of gutter body 25, and upper surface 8 of floor plate 7
Are formed on the same plane, so that each of the shojis 70, 7
When displacing 1 toward the undressing room 3, the packing 94,
The flap 95 and the floor plate 7 do not interfere with each other without causing the obstacle 95 to open the folding door 1 by angularly displacing each of the shojis 70 and 71 toward the undressing room 3 as described above. .

Thus, for example, when an elderly bather experiences abnormalities such as sudden illness or seizure during bathing and falls down in the bathroom 2, the rescuer moves the door stop member 49 to the immersion position 107.
In the state of being immersed in the bathroom, each of the sliding doors 70 and 71 can be put on the side wall 137 as a handle and pulled forward, displaced to the undressing room 3 side, and the folding door 1 can be opened. When the bather interferes with each of the shojis 70 and 71 when leaning against the shojis 70 and 71 and falls down, the rescue person can be prevented without the trouble that the bather can obstruct the doors 1 from opening. Can open the folding door 1, so that the bather who has fallen in the bathroom 2 can be quickly rescued.

Moreover, the immersion position 107 of the door stop member 49
The folding door 1 can be easily opened by displacing each of the shoji screens 70 and 71 toward the undressing room 3 side, and the folding door 1 can be quickly opened without any trouble. Since the member 49 is held in the upper frame main body 48 at the immersion position 107, the door stop member 49 does not interfere. That is, for example, when the door stop member 49 is configured to be removed, it is necessary to place the removed door stop member 49 in the vicinity of the folding door 1. For example, if the door stop member 49 is placed on the floor plate 7, a malfunction such as stumbling may occur. There is a possibility that the door stop member 49 may fall down when placed on a wall or the like. However, according to the present embodiment, since the door stop member 49 is held by the upper frame main body 48, the above-described problem occurs. There is no danger.

In the above-described embodiment, the door stop structure according to the present invention has been described as being applied to the frame 4 holding the folding door 1 that separates the bathroom 2 and the dressing room 3, but other embodiments of the present invention will be described. As an embodiment, for example, the present invention may be applied to a frame that holds a folding door provided for separating a living room and a dining kitchen. In such a case, for example, when transporting bulky furniture such as a wardrobe or a table, the door stop member 49 can be retracted to the immersion position, and the effective opening area can be increased. The folding door can be opened by displacing each sliding door to the living room side or dining kitchen side, which does not interfere with the transportation of tables, etc., and the convenience is improved. The door stop structure according to the invention can be suitably implemented.

The pressing spring 110 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, but may be a configuration in which a spring member having a substantially similar configuration is attached to the upper frame main body 48. A compression coil spring or the like may be used. The same applies to the locking spring 120,
The configuration is not limited to those shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 and may be another configuration.

[0038]

As described above, according to the present invention, the door stop member is provided on the upper frame main body so as to be able to protrude and retract, and the folding door can be retracted into the upper frame main body as needed, so that the door stop can be moved in the normal state. Can be opened by displacing it to the opposite side, so if, for example, a folding door is provided to separate the bathroom and the undressing room adjacent to this bathroom, usually each displacing unit is displaced to the bathroom side. By configuring the folding door to open, for example, it is possible to open and close the folding door without causing a problem that water droplets attached to each shoji drop onto the floor of the dressing room, improving convenience, I fell down in the bathroom,
If the bather cannot open the folding door to the bathroom side due to interference with each of the shojis, the rescuer can immerse the door stop member in the upper frame body and open the folding door to the undressing room side. Therefore, when the bather falls down in the bathroom as described above, the rescuer can open the folding door to the undressing room side and enter the bathroom to rescue the bather. Further, as described above, the door stop member does not need to be removed because it only needs to be immersed in the upper frame main body. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the door stop member, for example, standing on a floor or a wall. No troubles such as stumbling or falling down from a wall on which it stands are caused.
