DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure capable of easily attaching a door edge attached to a door side end and stably attaching the door edge without rattling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A door edge is attached to an end of a door panel which opens and closes via a hinge. The door edge covers the side edge of the door panel to improve the appearance of the door, and is designed so as not to be injured when it comes into contact with the corner of the door at the time of opening and closing, and its shape is generally rounded.

By the way, there are various structures for attaching the door edge to the door panel side end. FIG. 6 shows a conventional example showing a door edge of a toilet door. As is clear from the figure, the door edge (a) is a long member having a substantially semi-circular cross section, and the door edge (a) is screwed to a side end of the door panel (b). This edge is mounted not only on the door side but also on a door stop panel (c), and the door stop edge (d) is similarly screwed. The door stop edge (d) has a smooth concave surface with respect to the convex door edge (a).

When the door edge (a) is screwed in this way, the head of the screw (e) may slightly protrude from the surface of the door edge (a). This often occurs when the screw (e) is tilted and screwed into the door panel (b) or loosened by the impact of opening and closing the door, and as a result, the head often protrudes. If the screw head protrudes from the door edge (a), clothes may get caught on the head and break. Especially in the case of a toilet door, the entrance is narrow, and in many cases, the door is caught by a slightly protruding screw head.

[0005] Therefore, a fastening structure in which the head of the screw is not exposed on the door edge surface is desired. In a conventional structure in which a door edge is attached without using a screw, there is a structure in which a claw is formed on the back side of the door edge, and the claw is engaged with a groove formed on a door panel side end. The claw is extended at some parts of the door edge, and the above-mentioned groove is provided at some parts of the door panel. Therefore, if the claw is inserted into the groove and slid downward, the door edge is attached to the door panel side end.

However, in the method of inserting the claws into the grooves and sliding them, the attached door edge is not stable and rattles. In addition, the door edge cannot be attached after the cover is attached to the door panel in order to slide the door edge into a predetermined position. Further, when the door is installed, the door is often cut to a size large enough to accommodate the door. Processing is not possible. Therefore, the side end surface of the door panel needs to be a flat surface.

[0007]

As described above, the conventional door edge has the above-mentioned problems. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems. The screws can be easily attached without exposing the screws to the surface, and the attached door edge is stable without rattling, and is suitable for field work. Provided is a door edge mounting structure that can be cut into dimensions and installed.

[0008]

The door edge mounting structure of the present invention comprises a door edge and an edge receiver, the edge receiver is fixed to the door panel side end face, and the door edge is mounted on the edge receiver. The edge receiver has a fitting groove on one side and has elastically deformable legs on the other side. The fitting groove is a space formed between the edge receiver and the side end surface when the edge receiver is fixed to the door panel side end surface, and a locking portion is formed at the tip of the leg.

Although the surface shape of the door edge is not particularly limited, a fitting piece is formed on one side and a locking piece is formed on the other side, and the fitting piece fits into a fitting groove of the edge support, and the locking piece is an edge support. It is locked and attached to the locking portion. If the locking piece is pressed against the edge receiving leg while the fitting piece is fitted in the fitting groove, the leg is elastically deformed and locked to the locking portion.

On the other hand, the edge receiver has arms formed above and below its base, and has a claw at the tip of the arm. The edge receiver is fixed to the door panel side end face, and the claw at the tip of the arm is locked and positioned at a corner which is a boundary between the door panel surface and the side end face. The arm is then removed after the edge receiver has been fixed in place. The door edge is therefore mounted on a correctly positioned edge receiver. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0011]

FIG. 1 is an embodiment showing a side end of a door. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a door panel, 2 denotes a door edge, and 3 denotes an edge receiver. The door edge 2 is attached to a side end surface of the door panel 1 via the edge receiver 3. Although the door edge 2 in the figure has a smooth arcuate surface and has a convex shape, the shape of the door edge itself is not particularly limited in the present invention.

The mounting structure of the door edge 2 is such that the head of the screw is not exposed to the surface, as is the object of the present invention, and the edge receiving member fixed to the side end surface of the door panel 1 in advance. Attach by locking to 3. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the door edge 2 fixed to the edge receiver 3 and attached thereto. The door edge 2 has a smoothly convex arcuate surface 4, a fitting piece 5 bent inward on one side, and a locking piece 6 bent inward on the other side, respectively. However, these fitting pieces 5
The locking piece 6 and the locking piece 6 have the same shape, and differ only in the locking form when attached to the edge receiver 3. Therefore, the same is true even if the fitting piece 5 and the locking piece 6 are interchanged.

FIG. 3 shows the edge receiver 3, which is a molded part made of resin and fixed to the side end surface of the door panel 1. Screw holes 8, 8 are formed in the base 7 of the edge receiver 3, and arms 9, 9 are provided above and below. An L-shaped bent claw 10 is formed at the tip of the arm 9, and a slight gap is provided between the arm 9 and the base 7.
A notch groove 11 is formed at the base of the arm 9. Therefore, the arm 9 can be easily broken and removed by bending.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. The base 7 has a fitting groove 12 on one side and a leg 13 on the opposite side, and a locking portion 14 is formed at the tip of the leg 13. Since the leg 13 is formed leaving the space 15 between the leg 13 and the base 7, the leg 13 can be curved and deformed to some extent. Therefore, if the fitting piece 5 of the door edge 2 is fitted into the fitting groove 12 and the door edge 2 is pressed while the edge receiver 3 is fixed to the door panel side end face, the locking piece 6 hits the leg 13 and bends. However, as shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 shows a case where the edge receiver 3 is fixed to the side end surface 16 of the door panel 1. As shown in the drawing, the end claws 10, 10 of both arms 9, 9 are locked at the corners of the door panel 1, and the positions thereof are correct because screws are fixed in this state. In particular, since the edge receivers 3, 3,... Are fixed to the side end face 16, a plurality of the edge receivers cannot be mounted unless the positions are all correct. Of course, if the edge receiver 3 is fixed, the arms 9, 9 are removed. Although the edge receiver 3 shown in FIG. 3 is a short piece material, a long material corresponding to the height of the door panel can be used. Also in this case, the arms 9 and 9 may be formed up and down in the same manner.

When the door panel 1 is installed, it may be cut into an appropriate width. Even in such a case, the door panel side end surface 16 is a flat surface, and there is no problem in fixing the edge receiver 3. As described above, the door edge mounting structure of the present invention is one in which the door edge is mounted on the edge receiver fixed to the door panel side end face, and the following effects can be obtained.

[0017]

According to the door edge mounting structure of the present invention, an edge receiver is fixed to the end face on the door panel side, and a door edge is mounted on the edge receiver. The head of the screw is not exposed on the door edge surface. In the door edge, one fitting piece is fitted into the fitting groove, and the other locking piece is pressed against the locking portion and locked, and the mounting operation is easy. Further, even if the door edge is attached to the door panel, the door edge can be attached from the side end surface direction, which is convenient for work.

On the other hand, since the edge receiver has a claw-formed arm so that the fixing position is accurate, all the edge receivers attached to the side end faces are arranged at predetermined positions.
The door edges attached to these edge receivers are accurately attached without protruding from the door panel surface, and do not impair the appearance of the door. Furthermore, even if the door panel is cut off at the time of installation, there is no problem in fixing the edge receiver, and the on-site work can be easily performed.
