[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, folding doors for bathrooms have been disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-19094, a type having a rotating panel and a traveling panel and traveling on rails is used, and there are an inside opening type and an outside opening type from the bathroom side.

With respect to the structure of the folding door, various attempts have been made to improve its function.
No. 94, the panel is removable when fully opened,
There is a method of using a removable handle as a stopper, and attaching a towel rail to the bathroom side panel.

[0004] The case where the towel rail is attached will be described in detail. An inward-opening bathroom folding door shown in Fig. 6 (a) has a folding door when a towel rail 11 is mounted on one panel 10 on the bathroom side.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and even if a towel rail is attached to one panel of an outward-opening folding door, it does not interfere with the other panel when opened and closed. The purpose is to provide a hinged door.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an open-door folding door having a rotating panel and a traveling panel, wherein one of the panels on the bathroom side has a towel rail, and the other panel has at least the towel rail when fully opened. Characterized in that it has a concave portion provided so as to be able to store therein.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a back surface of the concave portion is a handle.

[0009]

According to the present invention, by providing a concave portion in which a towel rail can be stored, which is the gist of the present invention, even if the towel rail is opened outward and attached to the folding door, the folding door is fully opened so that the door can be easily accessed and the bathroom can be used functionally. it can.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the examples.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a running panel 1 is provided with a towel rail 3 and a rotating panel 2 is provided with a recess 4 capable of storing a towel rail. In the present embodiment, the towel rail 3 has a shape and an installation location as shown in FIG. 2, but the shape may be any shape as long as the towel can be hung, and the installation location is not limited to this embodiment.

For example, if necessary, a towel rack may be provided in a multi-tiered manner. However, when the towel rails are provided in multiple stages, the recesses 4 that can be stored in the towel racks are also provided in multiple stages corresponding to the towel racks.

Next, this embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the rotating panel 2 when fully opened. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating panel 2 can be fully opened substantially in parallel with the frame 5. The turning panel 2 is rotatably mounted on a shaft via a roller 7 at an end of a rail (not shown), and turns around pivots 6 and 6 at an upper end and a lower end. The running panel 1 is provided so as to be able to run on a rail (not shown) via a runner (not shown). The runner (not shown) is provided on the pivot 6 side of the rotating panel 2 when the folding door is fully opened. In addition, when it is closed, it is provided to run on a rail (not shown) on the side opposite to the pivot 6.
The pivot panel 2 and the traveling panel 1 are hinged to each other. In this hinge method, the folding panel is pushed from the bathroom side at the approximate center of the traveling panel, and the pivot 6 of the traveling panel 1 is connected to the rail (FIG. (Not shown) so as to travel in the axial direction of the rotating panel 2.

In this embodiment, the recess 4 capable of storing the towels is formed as shown in FIG. 4, but the towel rack 3 and the recess 4 capable of storing the towels when the folding door is opened and closed.
May be installed such that the towel rail 3 is stored in the recess 4 in which the towel rail can be stored when fully opened as shown in FIG. 4, for example.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if the projection on the back surface of the concave portion 4 on the side of the living room opposite to the bathroom, which can be stored, can be used as a handle.

[0017]

According to the structure of the present invention, even if a towel rail is attached to one of the panels of the folding door that is open outward,
Since it does not interfere with the other panel, it is easy to get in and out, and it is not necessary to change the installation location on a wall or the like, and a functional bathroom can be realized.
