Moreover, it can be opened and closed with respect to the opening 23 of the stone lantern 2 in a state of being mounted on the stone lantern 2. Hereinafter, the structure of the stone lantern door 1 will be described in detail.

  The stone lantern door 1 is fixed to the fixed portion 11 that can be fixed to the lantern main body portion 22, the door main body 12 that is curved and formed corresponding to the substantially cylindrical shape of the lantern main body portion 22, and the fixed portion 11. And a connecting portion 13 for connecting the door body 12. The door body 12 is made of a metal such as stainless steel, and one window 121 is provided at a substantially central portion thereof. A heat-resistant transparent member 14 such as glass is attached to the window 121. Specifically, the transparent member 14 is fixed to the door body 12 by four locking claws 122 fixed to the upper and lower portions of the door body 12. A candle stand 15 is attached to the lower center of the door body 12 via a support plate 16. Therefore, the door main body 12 and the transparent member 14 are integrally opened by rotating the door main body 12 to “left open”, “right open” or “full open” as will be described later. 23 is opened and closed. In this embodiment, the candle stand 15 is fixed to the tip of the support plate 16, but the candle stand 15 may be configured to be detachable from the support plate 16. Moreover, you may comprise the support plate 16 so that attachment or detachment with respect to the frame member 4, the fixing member 52 mentioned later, etc. is possible. Note that the front left end 12L of the door body 12 thus configured is connected to the connecting portion 13 as described later, and corresponds to the “second direction side end” of the present invention.

  On the other hand, the fixing part 11 is detachably attached to the peripheral part of the opening part 23, and has a frame member 4 having an opening part 41 that is the same as or slightly narrower than the opening part 23 and a fixing mechanism 5 at the center part. . The opening 41 of the frame member 4 is substantially the same as or slightly wider than the height of the door body 12 in the vertical direction Y, and is narrower than the width of the door body 12 in the horizontal direction X. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the door body 12 covers the opening 41 of the frame member 4 and closes the opening 23 by disposing the door body 12 close to the frame member 4 of the fixed portion 11. Is possible. More specifically, the frame member 4 includes a right end 42R provided so as to be able to contact the right end of the opening 23, and a left end 42L provided so as to be able to contact the left end of the opening 23. And an upper end 42U provided so as to be able to contact the upper end of the opening 23 and a lower end 42D provided so as to be able to contact the lower end of the opening 23. An opening 41 is formed by being surrounded by the two end portions 42R, 42L, 42U, and 42D. These end portions 42R, 42L, 42U, and 42D correspond to the “first direction side end”, “second direction side end”, “upper end”, and “lower end” of the present invention, respectively. Yes.

  The fixing mechanism 5 has two fixing members 51 and 52. Each of the fixing members 51 and 52 has a substantially U shape in a plan view formed by forcibly bending the belt-shaped piece toward the inside of the stone lantern 2, and the right end of the fixing members 51 and 52 in the forcibly curved state. Is connected to the right end portion 42 </ b> R of the frame member 4, and the left end portions of the fixing members 51, 52 are connected to the left end portion 42 </ b> L of the frame member 4. Each of the fixing members 51 and 52 has a locking portion in the vicinity of the connecting portion with the frame member 4. More specifically, a cut portion is provided on a part of the fixing members 51 and 52 from each connection portion side, and the cut piece portion is bent toward the inner wall surface of the lantern body portion 22 with the broken line portion in FIG. Thus, a total of four cut pieces are formed as the locking portion 53. These locking portions 53 prevent displacement of the fixing members 51 and 52 by contacting the inner wall surface of the lantern body 22 when the fixing portion 11 is attached to the lantern body 22 as described later. As a result, the entire fixing portion 11 is firmly fixed to the lantern body portion 22.

  Each fixing member 51, 52 applies a biasing force in a direction (horizontal direction) in which the right end portion 42R and the left end portion 42L are separated from each other. In this embodiment, the lower portion of the lower end portion 42D of the frame member 4 is bent into the stone lantern 2 to make the lower end portion 42D more rigid than the upper end portion 42U. Therefore, when the ease of bending deformation of the upper end portion 42U and the lower end portion 42D is compared, the upper end portion 42U is easier to bend and deform than the lower end portion 42D, and the fixing portion 11 is made of a stone lantern as will be described later. 2, the upper end portion 42 </ b> U is curved into a shape along the curved peripheral surface of the lantern main body 22, and the gap with the peripheral surface of the lantern main body 22 can be reduced. Usually, the stone lantern 2 is often arranged near the installation surface of the tombstone, and the user looks down on the stone lantern 2 from above. Therefore, when the stone lantern 2 is viewed, the user sees a state in which the upper side of the door 1 is in close contact with the stone lantern 2, and gives the user an excellent aesthetic appearance. On the other hand, the lower end portion 42D is slightly inferior to the upper end portion 42U, but the rigidity of the fixing portion 11 is increased so that the fixing portion 11 can be securely fixed to the stone lantern 2.

  Further, in the frame member 4 fixed to the lantern main body 22 by the fixing mechanism 5 in this manner, the rotation support portions 43 and 44 are provided at the upper end and the lower end of the right end portion 42R, respectively. The door body 12 is connected to the portions 43 and 44 via the connecting portion 13.

  The connecting portion 13 includes two link members 131 and 132 formed of stainless spring steel (for example, SUS301) in a boomerang shape. Among these, the upper link member 131 has one end pivotally supported by the screw 6 with respect to the upper rotation support portion 43 so as to be rotatable about the rotation axis RA1, and the other end at the left side of the door body 12. A rotation support portion 124 attached to the upper end of the end portion 12L is pivotally supported by a screw 6 so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis RA2. The other lower link member 132 is configured in the same manner as the upper link member 131. That is, one end of the lower link member 132 is pivotally supported about the rotation axis RA3 by the screw 6 with respect to the lower rotation support portion 44, and the other end is the left end of the door body 12. A rotation support portion 125 attached to the lower end of the portion 12L is pivotally supported by a screw 6 about a rotation axis RA4. For this reason, it is possible to rotate the door body 12 to “left open”, “right open”, or “fully open”. This operation will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.

  In addition, a substantially semi-spherical minute projection 133 is provided on the upper surface of the upper link member 131, and the upper link member 131 moves to the frame member 4 side so that a part of the upper link member 131 is in the opening 41. When entering, the minute protrusion 133 gets over the lower end surface of the upper end portion 42U and enters the fixing mechanism 5 side. Thus, the upper link member 131 is maintained in a stationary state unless the minute protrusion 133 is engaged with the upper end portion 42U and an external force of a predetermined level or more is not applied to the door body 12. As described above, in the present embodiment, the minute protrusion 133 is detachable from the upper end portion 42U of the fixed portion 11, and functions as the “upper engagement portion” of the present invention.

  Further, on the lower link member 132 side, similarly to the upper link member 131, an engaging portion 134 is provided on the lower link member 132. The engaging portion 134 is provided on the frame member 4 side from the center of the upper surface of the lower link member 132, the tip portion has a round hook shape, and the engaging portion so that the curved portion faces downward. 134 is attached. For this reason, when the lower link member 132 moves to the frame member 4 side and the engaging portion 134 enters the opening portion 41, the distal end bending portion gets over the upper end surface of the lower end portion 42D and moves to the fixing mechanism 5 side. Get in. Thus, the lower link member 132 is kept stationary unless the engaging portion 134 engages with the lower end portion 42D and an external force of a predetermined level or more is applied to the door body 12. As described above, in the present embodiment, the engaging portion 134 is detachable with respect to the lower end portion 42D of the fixed portion 11, and functions as the “lower engaging portion” of the present invention.

  Next, the procedure for mounting the door 1 to the lantern body 22 and the opening / closing operation of the door body 12 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a procedure for attaching the door to the lantern body and an opening / closing operation of the door body. Here, the respective parts are schematically shown so that the operation of the door main body 12 and / or the link members 131 and 132 with respect to the fixed part 11 can be easily understood.

  At the stage of preparing the stone lantern door 1 (before mounting), the door body 12 is brought close to the frame member 4 of the fixed portion 11 and the opening 23 is closed. At this time, the minute projections (upper engaging portion) 133 and the lower engaging portion 134 are engaged with the upper end portion 42U and the lower end portion 42D, respectively, so that the door body 12 is firmly closed. Then, the stone lantern door 1 is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow AR in FIG. 4A with the fixing mechanism 5 for the stone lantern door 1 facing the inside of the lantern body 22. At this time, the user or the installation worker may press-fit the fixing members 51 and 52 into the lantern body 22 while narrowing the fixing members 51 and 52 from the left and right directions. Further, since each of the fixing members 51 and 52 can be deformed within a certain range by receiving an external force, each of the fixing members 51 and 52 may be inserted into the lantern body 22 through the opening 23 as it is. Good. Here, the fixing members 51 and 52 are elastically deformed at the opening 23 during press-fitting. However, the fixing members 51 and 52 are spread by the spring force when the fixing members 51 and 52 are inserted into the lantern body 22, and the lantern body. The inner surface of the portion 22 is fixed in close contact (FIG. 4B).

  When the door main body 12 is opened to the left, as shown in FIG. 4C, the right end 12R of the door main body 12 is operated to rotate only the door main body 12 about the rotation axes RA2 and RA4. Then, the door body 12 is moved away from the opening 23 while rotating, and the opening 23 is opened by “left opening”. At this time, the minute protrusion 133 and the lower engagement portion 134 are engaged with the upper end portion 42U and the lower end portion 42D, respectively, and both the link members 131 and 132 are firmly integrated with the fixing portion 11, Inconveniences such as the link members 131 and 132 rattling or the link members 131 and 132 popping out during operation can be reliably prevented. Moreover, when closing the opening part 23, it can carry out by the reverse operation | movement to the above.

  When the door body 12 is opened to the right, as shown in FIG. 4D, the door body 12 and the link members 131 and 132 are integrally pivoted by operating the left end 12L of the door body 12. When it is rotated around RA1 and RA3, the door body 12 is moved away from the opening 23 while rotating, and the opening 23 is opened by “right opening”. Moreover, when closing the opening part 23, it can carry out by the reverse operation | movement to the above.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5E, the door main body 12 can be largely moved to the front side (the lower side in the figure) by combining the “left open” operation and the “right open” operation (“all open”). Open "). As described above, in the “full open”, even if the “left open” operation and the “right open” operation are performed little by little, the candle holder 15 can be pulled out to the front side, and the stone lantern 2 is particularly narrow to the left and right. Even when installed at a place, the candle holder 15 can be reliably pulled out and easily returned to its original state.

  As described above, according to the embodiment, the door main body 12 is connected to the fixed portion 11 via the connecting portion 13, and the “left open” operation, the “right open” operation, and the “ In any case of performing the “full open” operation, the door body 12 can be reliably prevented from being lost or damaged without being separated.

  Further, the upper link member 131 is provided with a minute protrusion 133 as an upper engaging portion, and the lower link member 132 is provided with a lower engaging portion 134. For this reason, while the stone lantern 2 is not used, the engaging portions 133 and 134 engage with the upper end portion 42U and the lower end portion 42D, respectively, so that the door body 12 is firmly closed. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent an accident such as the door body 12 being opened or damaged by strong wind or vibration. Further, as described above, the “left open” operation can be stably performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the link members 131 and 132 are supported in a cantilevered state by the connecting portions with the rotation support portions 43 and 44 during the “right open” and “full open” operations. Therefore, it is conceivable that the link members 131 and 132 are made thick from the viewpoint of strength, but in this case, an increase in the weight of the link members 131 and 132 is unavoidable. In the above embodiment, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 3, when the opening 23 is closed, the upper link member 131 is positioned between the upper end 42U and the door body 12 in the vertical direction and the lower end. The lower link member 132 is located between 42D and the door body 12. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the vertical size of the door body 12 by the thickness of the link members 131 and 132 that are thickened. On the other hand, by manufacturing the link members 131 and 132 using spring steel such as stainless spring steel, even if the spring characteristics of the link members 131 and 132 are significantly increased and the link members 131 and 132 are slightly bent, Return to the original state. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently cope with the “right open” and “full open” operations without increasing the thickness of the link members 131 and 132.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the right end 42R of the frame member 4 and the left end 12L of the door body 12 are connected via the link members 131 and 132, but the left end 42L of the frame member 4 and the door are connected. The right end 12R of the main body 12 may be connected via the link members 131 and 132. In this case, the left direction (−X) corresponds to the “first direction” of the present invention, and the right direction (+ X). Corresponds to the “second direction” of the present invention.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the screw 6 is used as a connection member which connects the both ends of the link members 131 and 132 to the frame member 4 and the door main body 12, other connection members (for example, a rivet, a hinge, etc.) are used. Needless to say.

  Moreover, about the structure of the fixing mechanism 5, it is not limited to the system of the said embodiment, Arbitrary systems which can mount the frame member 4 to the lantern main-body part 22, for example, the fixing system described in patent document 1, The fixing method described in Japanese Patent No. 301200 (the so-called “inner peripheral surface pressing method” in which the projecting member is pressed and fixed to the inner wall surface of the lantern body part 22), or the lantern body part by the frame member 4 and the clip member For example, a “squeezing method” in which 22 walls are sandwiched can be used.
