The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the example of the drawings. A is made of aluminum, for example, formed using an aluminum extruded material, which is arranged so as to close a plurality of openings of the sun room 5 arranged in front of the building opening. The horizontal shutter A is a plane L-shape or U-shape facing vertically and arranged so as to extend across a plurality of aperture surfaces at the corners. A guide rail 1 having a U-shaped groove guide 12 and a plurality of shutter units 2 that are connected to a pair of panels 21 having the same width by hinges 25 and are freely foldable and foldable are provided adjacent to the orthogonal corners of the guide rail. The corner connecting member 11 is formed by opening the two sides to the guide rail 1 side, forming the same cross-sectional shape as the guide rail 1, and forming a flat quarter-circle groove guide 12 that is continuous with the guide rail 1 in series. The above are a number of the shutter unit 2 as freely opened and closed by the arrangement to stretch bending of the shutter unit every 2 so as to block the L-shaped or more open surface of the U-shaped guide rail 1, the this time as well as location In the example, the horizontal shutter A has a rotation range of approximately ½ so that the hinges of the multiple shutter units 2 are connected so that the panel 21 of the shutter unit 2 is folded toward the inside of the plurality of opening surfaces. The shutter unit 2 is stretched and maintained at an angle between a circle and a little over half a circle so that the corner can be fed and passed, thereby allowing the plurality of openings to be fully opened.

  The planar U-shaped guide rail 1 of the present example has an upper guide rail 1a and a lower guide rail 1b that are opposed to each other on the top and bottom of the front and side surfaces of the sunroom 5 except for the building opening. As a pair, it is fixedly arranged on the structural material of the roof 52 of the sunroom 5 and a floor material such as a deck material. At this time, the guide rails 1 on the front and side surfaces are 90 degrees so as to be orthogonal to each other. And are connected to each other via the corner connecting member 11.

  Each of the guide rails 1 is made of an extruded aluminum material in which groove guides 12 are integrally formed. In this example, the upper guide rail 1a is an intermediate so as to receive and guide an upper engagement guide (to be described later) of the shutter unit 2. A total of four that define a downward guide opening, one of the inner and outer direction guide guides arranged so as to sandwich the guide opening, for example, the indoor-side inclined guide face, and the horizontal guide face on the other outer side of the inner and outer direction, and these guide faces up and down. The lower guide rail 1b has an intermediate upward guide opening, an indoor inclined guide surface, an outdoor horizontal guide surface, and an inclined guide. It has a U-shaped cross section having one guide protrusion 13 that defines a surface.

The corner connecting member 11 for connecting the upper and lower guide rails 1a and 1b is formed into a block shape having a flat rectangular shape, for example, integrally formed of cast aluminum or synthetic resin, and two adjacent sides are opened to the guide rail 1 side. The guide rail 1 has the same cross-sectional shape, and the groove guide 12 having the above-mentioned flat quarter circle is formed so that the guide rail 1 is continuous in series. The upper and lower guide rails 1a and 1b are arranged so that the cut end edge side of the connection side end portion cut perpendicularly abuts and abuts on the indoor side so as to define the opening surface on the indoor side, and the guide rails 1a and 1b are arranged. By arranging the corner connecting member 11 so as to fill the rectangular space on the outdoor side formed respectively, the guide rails 1a and 1b are connected to each other in series. Some as being. For this connection, the corner connecting member 11 is fixed to the structural material or flooring of the roof 2, or fixed to the guide rails 1a and 1b by a fixed piece integrally formed, or a combination of these guide rails. An arrangement between 1 is performed. In this example, since the guide rail 1 has a width of several centimeters, the corner connecting member 11 has a plane of several centimeters square having the same side as the width. Reference numeral 12 denotes an arc having a minimum radius in accordance with the width on the indoor / outdoor side from the groove guide 12 of the guide rail 1.

  The panel 21 constituting the shutter unit 2 is constructed by assembling upper and lower horizontal bars 22 and left and right vertical bars 23 so that the horizontal bars 22 are butted between the upper and lower ends of the vertical bar 23, Inside, a transparent, translucent or opaque panel such as glass or resin is fitted and fixed, and is common to all shutter units 2. The panel 21 can be flexed and stretched by connecting the adjacent vertical rods 23 at a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction, and at this time, the hinge 25 is adjacent to the hinge plate using, for example, a hinge hardware. By fixing the hinge hardware to the opposite surface of the vertical fence, the hinge hardware is arranged between the vertical fences 23 at two positions in the longitudinal direction, and the panel 21 is placed inside each opening surface, that is, the sunroom 5 by the hinge hardware. The shutter unit 2 is supported by being suspended from the guide rail 1 so that each shutter unit 2 is directed to the inner side of each opening surface and is slightly over 1/2 yen. In this example, for example, 2 Each can be opened and closed independently by stretching and bending so as to have a large rotation range of about 3 degrees.

  The shutter unit 2 is provided with engaging guides that protrude from the vertical rod 23 and engage and guide the guide rail 1 above and below the vertical rod 23 at both ends of the unconnected side. Each of the guides has a pair of horizontally arranged guide rollers 26 each having a different diameter in the vertical direction, one having a larger diameter and a rectangular cross section, and the other having a smaller diameter and a cylindrical shape. The guide roller 26a, which has a large diameter out of the upper and lower diameters, is supported by a support shaft that is erected on a mounting bracket fitted and fixed to the upper and lower ends of the hollow portion. The guide roller 26b with a small diameter is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the shaft in two upper and lower stages so that the respective support shafts are fitted inside thereof, that is, on the side of the mounting bracket.

  Receiving guidance by the upper and lower guide rails 1a, 1b of the upper and lower guide rollers 26 is provided at the lower end of the large-diameter guide roller 26a at the corner between the inclined guide surface and the guide protrusion 13 defining the guide surface. The upper suspension support of each shutter unit 2 is arranged so that the guide roller 26b having a small diameter comes into contact with the outer periphery and the opening end of the guide opening, particularly the opening end of the contact side and the inside and outside opposite positions. The guide rollers 26a and 26b are made to roll by contacting the upper and lower guide rails 1a and 1b at two points in the inner and outer directions. At this time, the remaining guide protrusions of the upper guide rail 1a are moved. Reference numeral 13 denotes a swinging action that regulates the position of the guide roller 26a. That is, for example, when the rolling is carried out so that the guide roller is vertically arranged and placed on the guide rail, a large radius is required for the direction change. A guide roller 26a having a large diameter is horizontally arranged in the unit 2, and the guide roller 26a of the shutter unit 2 is corner-connected to connect the planar U-shaped guide rail 1 at the corner by performing suspension support thereon. It is possible to easily pass the groove guide 12 having a quarter radius of the minimum radius of the member 11.

  The shutter unit 2 formed in this way has its corners fed by the progress of maintaining the extended state by the hinge connection for folding the inner side of the vertical shaft 23 adjacent to the upper and lower vertical shafts 23 at the both ends of the non-connected side by the guide roller 26. You can pass through. That is, by supporting the shutter unit 2 on the guide rail 1, the guide rollers 26 at the four upper and lower ends of the non-connected side are respectively received and guided to the guide rail 1 and the panel 21 forming the shutter unit 2 is As a result of the hinge connection of the adjacent vertical shaft 23 being folded inward at a rotation angle of 1/2 to slightly more than 1/2 yen, the shutter unit 2 is in its extended state, for example, by manual feeding. When this is moved, it travels straight on each plane U-shaped opening surface, and when it reaches the corner, the guide roller 26 on the tip side in the moving direction moves from the groove guide 12 of one guide rail to the guide groove 12 of the corner connecting member 11. The direction of the ¼ circle is changed through the guide groove 12 to reach the guide groove 12 of the other guide rail orthogonal to this, and the shutter unit 2 is orthogonal Becomes inclined bridging manner with respect Idoreru, proceeded by maintaining the stretched state, the moving direction rear end side of the guide roller by passing through the guide grooves of the corner connecting member, passes through the corner. That is, when the guide roller 26 on the front end side in the moving direction of the shutter unit 2 reaches the corner, a reaction force is exerted on the hinge connection portion so as to bend outwardly, that is, to the outside of the room. Can not be bent to the outside of the room, so that the bending due to the reaction force is restricted, and the passage can be performed while maintaining the extended state of the above-described inclined installation. At this time, in this example, the rotation angle of the hinge connection is set to a little over 1/2 circle, so that the hinge connection portion can be bent outward by an angle exceeding 1/2 circle. When the reaction force is received, the hinge connecting portion absorbs this, and the shutter unit 2 can smoothly and reliably pass the corner without generating noise or returning to the opposite side. .

  Therefore, the shutter unit 2 can be smoothly moved from any plane U-shaped opening surface to any opening surface as required, and can be folded toward the indoor side at an arbitrary position in addition to the above arbitrary opening and closing. As a result, the horizontal shutter A of the present example can be fully opened, and the usability can be made as good as possible.

  On the other hand, the reference numeral 3 designates the shutter unit 2 in a folded state, which is disposed between the longitudinal rods 23 at both ends of the unconnected side of each shutter unit 2 or one of them, to the guide rail 1 at an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 1. On the other hand, the locking device 4 that holds the shutter unit 2 is disposed on one of the adjacent vertical rods 23 of the shutter unit 2 and the extended shutter unit 2 with respect to the guide rail 1 at an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 1. It is a locking device to be fixed.

  In this example, the locking device 3 can be protruded and retracted downward from the vertical rod 23, for example, in conjunction with the bending and extension of the shutter unit 2, for example, on the outer side or inner side of the groove guide 12 of the lower guide rail 1b. 1 is provided, and when the shutter unit 2 is bent and folded at an arbitrary position of the guide rail 1, the lock member 36 is in contact with the lower guide rail 1b and the shutter unit 2 Is locked so that it is held on the guide rail 1b at its folding position to prevent movement and swinging of the shutter unit 2 due to wind pressure or the like, while the lock is released when the shutter unit 2 is extended and closed. , That free movement can be made. The locking device 3 is built in, for example, a pressing protrusion 31 disposed on a finding surface of one vertical rod 23 at both ends of the non-connecting side, and a hollow portion of the other vertical rod 23, and by pressing and releasing the pressing protrusion 31 An elevating member 32 for moving the lock member 36 up and down to lock and release the lock member 36, and an urging member 35 disposed on the elevating member 32 so as to keep the lock member 36 in a normally released state. At this time, the elevating member 32 is moved by the rotating member 33 that is tilted and rotated along the guide by the pressing of the pressing protrusion 31 and the biasing member 35 by the tilted rotation of the rotating member 33. A vertical movable member 34 that vertically moves to move the lock member 36 up and down against the upward biasing is provided. Reference numeral 37 denotes a cushion material which is disposed at the lower end of the lock member 36 so as to reliably perform contact with the lower guide rail 1b without causing noise and exhibiting frictional resistance.

  Each shutter unit 2 includes the lock device 3 so that the lock position is not fixed in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail as in the case where the lock device is formed by the lock and the receiving hole of the guide rail. According to the folding of the shutter unit 2 at any position in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail, it can be locked at the arbitrary position, and the single shutter unit 2 can be folded so as to enter and exit and ventilate, and a number of shutter units can be folded. Folding 2 can improve its usability.

  In this example, the locking device 4 is arranged on one of the adjacent vertical rods 23, that is, the hinged vertical rods 23, so as not to compete with the locking device 3, and the shutter unit 2 is in the extended state, that is, the vertical device. With the flange 23 positioned at the center in the width direction and on the groove guide 12 of the guide rail 1, the operation member 41 installed on the one vertical rod 23 and the operation member 41 are operated via the link mechanism. It is assumed that a rod bar that can be protruded and retracted in the guide groove of the upper and lower guide rails by moving up and down is used to lock and unlock the locking bar (the locking device is not shown except for the operation member). Since each shutter unit 2 is provided with the locking device 4, the shutter unit 2 is prevented from escaping from the guide rail 1 of the hinged vertical shaft 23 and cannot be folded. By operating the device 4, all the shutter units 2 can be locked so as to be kept in the closed state. Therefore, each pair of panels 21 having the same width can be opened and closed independently by connecting the hinges 25. It is possible to secure the security by locking the horizontal shutter A using the shutter unit 2 and to improve the usability.

  Further, in the figure, 51 is a support for supporting the roof 12 of the sunroom, and 24 is an airtightness that can be secured between the extended shutter unit 2 and the adjacent shutter unit 2 installed between the vertical shafts. Each material is shown.

  Although the illustrated example is as described above, the guide rail is arranged in a plane L-shape and has two opening surfaces, and the guide rails extending over a plurality of opening surfaces are provided on each opening surface. Multiple shutter units shall be arranged so as to block each of the plurality of aperture surfaces as being independent of each other. For example, when the shutter unit is expanded, the shutter unit is manually or automatically between adjacent shutter units. In carrying out the present invention, including providing an airtight device for projecting and closing the airtight material to ensure the airtightness between the shutter unit and the guide rail so that the airtight material protrudes from one or both of the sides , Plane L-shaped or U-shaped guide rail, shutter unit, panel, hinge, corner connection member, pivot range of panel folding by hinge connection, engagement guide, lock Location, the specific shape of such locking device, structure, material, these relationships, addition or the like for these may be of various forms unless contrary to the gist of the invention.
