Description

The present invention relates to a door operating device for releasing a latch bolt when opening a door.

The latch bolt provided on the door end side of the door that opens by rotating is urged by a spring in the protruding direction (Patent Documents 1, 2, etc.). In the closed position of the door, the latch bolt protrudes and engages with the latch receiver of the door frame to fix the door in the closed position. When opening the door in the closed position, the door can be opened by operating a handle such as a lever handle or a push-pull handle to temporarily retract the latch bolt against the spring. When closing the door in the open position, it is not necessary to operate the handle because the latch bolt retracts by itself against the spring due to the shape of the latch bolt.

Door handles can be a transmission route for pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Frequent disinfection of the door handle or the hand that touches it is cumbersome, and it is preferable that the door handle is not touched by fingers to prevent infection.

Patent Documents 1 to 3 present a specially shaped handle or an attachment attached to an existing handle in order to open and close the door using a portion above the wrist without using fingers.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing examples. The same or similar components in each embodiment are basically the same reference numerals in the drawings.

(1) First Embodiment: Door that opens only on one side , rotation operation The first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. 1A is a schematic perspective view of the door 1 incorporating the door operating device 10 of the first embodiment as viewed from the door surface 1a, and FIG. 1B is a schematic perspective view seen from the door surface 1b on the opposite side. It is a perspective view. For example, the door surface 1a corridor side, door surfaces 1b are facing the interior side, the door 1 is only open verbosity A to the indoor side. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the door 1 is in the closed position.

In the following description, in the horizontal direction parallel to the door surfaces 1a and 1b of the door 1, the rotation axis of the door 1 is referred to as the "door tail side", and the side opposite to the rotation axis is the "door end side". It is called.

The door operating device 10 is incorporated in a part of the door 1. The door operating device 10 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped case 4 embedded in the door end side of the door 1. This case 4 is similar to a key case in which a latch bolt and a dead bolt are housed in a general door. In the example of FIG. 1, the case 4 is installed at a general height position. However, in the present invention, the height position of the case 4 is not limited to a general position.

In the example of FIG. 1, only the latch bolt 2 is provided in the case 4, and the dead bolt is not provided. In the present invention, the dead bolt is not an essential element but an optional element. The latch bolt 2 is urged by a spring (not shown in FIG. 1) so as to protrude from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. At the closed position of the door 1, the latch bolt 2 protrudes from the case 4 and enters the opposing latch receiving hole (not shown). As a result, the door 1 is prevented from opening toward the door surface 1b.

The door operating device 10 further has an opening 1c adjacent to the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The opening 1c exists over the entire thickness direction of the door 1, that is, penetrates a part of the main body of the door 1. In the example of FIG. 1, the opening 1c has a rectangular contour shape. The upper end of the opening 1c is located about a quarter of the height of the door 1, and the lower end of the opening 1c is at the same position as the lower end of the door 1. The width of the opening 1c is about one-fourth of the width of the door 1, for example, about 20 to 30 cm. However, the length and width of the opening 1c are not particularly limited.

Further, in the opening 1c, an operation plate 11 having a rectangular contour shape that substantially fits into the opening 1c is arranged. In the closed position of the door 1, the flat and wide sides of the operation plate 11 are parallel to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. The operation plate 11 preferably has a predetermined thickness thinner than that of the door 1. It is preferable that one wide surface of the operation plate 11 is located on the same surface as the door surface 1a. The other wide surface of the operation plate 11 is located at a position retracted into the opening 1c from the door surface 1b. Further, a rotation shaft 13 is provided along the edge of the operation plate 11 on the door tail side. The operation plate 11 is rotatable around the rotation shaft 13. The rotation shaft 13 extends in the vertical direction here. Specifically, the rotating shaft 13 is composed of, for example, a plurality of hinges.

Further, an auxiliary operation plate 12 extending substantially perpendicular to this surface is arranged starting from a surface of the operation plate 11 facing the door 1 toward opening, in this case, a surface on the door surface 1b side as a starting end. The auxiliary operation plate 12 has a rectangular contour shape as an example. The auxiliary operation plate 12 does not have to be strictly perpendicular to the operation plate 11, and may be inclined by, for example, about −10 ° to + 10 ° with respect to the vertical position. One wide surface of the auxiliary operation plate 12 faces the door end side, and the other wide surface faces the door end side. The starting end of the auxiliary operation plate 12 is preferably arranged in the vicinity of the rotation shaft 13 of the operation plate 11. The boundary line between the auxiliary operation plate 12 and the operation plate 11 extends parallel to the rotation shaft 13. The length of the auxiliary operation plate 12 in the vertical direction is preferably about the same as that of the operation plate 11. In the example of FIG. 1, the upper end of the auxiliary operation plate 12 is located at the same position as the upper end of the operation plate 11, while the lower end of the auxiliary operation plate 12 is located above the lower end of the operation plate 11 and is in contact with the floor surface. There is a gap between them. The auxiliary operation plate 12 can rotate around the rotation shaft 13 integrally with the operation plate 11.

2 (a) and 2 (b) are schematic perspective views corresponding to FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), respectively, and show a state in which the door operating device 10 is operated to release the latch bolt 2. The three arrows r1 shown in FIG. 2A schematically show an example of a position where the user on the door surface 1a side pushes the operation plate 11. The three arrows r2 shown in FIG. 2B schematically show an example of a position where the user on the door surface 1b side pushes the auxiliary operation plate 12.

By operating the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12 in this way, the operation plate 11 rotates around the rotation shaft 13 toward the door surface 1b. When the operation plate 11 rotates around the rotation shaft 13, the operation plate 11 is tilted with respect to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. The operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 have a large operation surface as compared with a general door handle. Therefore, the user can operate the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12 by using a body part other than the fingers, for example, an elbow, an arm, a leg, a knee, a foot, a waist, or the like, which is convenient. Of course, operations using fingers are also possible. The operation plate 11 fitted in a part of the door surface 1a can only be pushed. On the other hand, in addition to the operation of pushing the surface on the door end side as shown in the figure, the auxiliary operation plate 12 can also perform an operation of pulling the edge of the auxiliary operation plate 12 from the door tail side, for example.

Although the details will be described later, the door operating device 10 has a conversion unit that converts the rotation of the operating plate 11 into the retracting operation of the latch bolt 2. Therefore, the latch bolt 2 is released by rotating the operation plate 11 by the operation of the user. As a result, the user can open the door 1 as shown by the arrow R1. That is, the user can open the door 1 without using fingers.

An example of the mechanism of the conversion unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3A schematically shows an example of the I-I cross section of FIG. 1B, and FIG. 3B schematically shows the II-II cross section of FIG. 1A.

At the latch position shown in FIG. 3A, the latch bolt 2 is urged by the spring 5 and protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. An operation rod 6 integrally fixed to the back surface of the latch bolt 2 penetrates the coiled spring 5 and extends horizontally toward the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The operation rod 6 penetrates the partition wall 4a in the case 4, and a first connecting pin 15a is provided at the end thereof. One end of the spring 5 is supported by the back surface of the latch bolt 2, and the other end is supported by the partition wall 4a.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the operation pin 14 is provided on the side surface of the operation plate 11 on the door end side so as to project at the same height position as the first connecting pin 15a. Here, as an example, the operation pin 14 is composed of a pair of upper and lower plate-shaped members, and a second connecting pin 15b is provided between them. The operation pin 14 is located in the groove 4e extending in the horizontal direction on the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side.

At appropriate positions between the first connecting pin 15a and the second connecting pin 15b, a guide pin 15c fixed to the case 4 and extending in the vertical direction is arranged. Further, one end of the wire 16 is connected to the first connecting pin 15a, and the other end is connected to the second connecting pin 15b. The wire 16 is provided with an appropriate slack.

At the latch position, the operation plate 11 is located parallel to the door surface 1a, and the operation pin 14 is located closest to the door surface 1a in the groove 4e. The operation rod 6 integrated with the latch bolt 2 is located closest to the door end side.

4 (a) and 4 (b) are views corresponding to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) when the latch bolt 2 is in the release position. At the latch release position shown in FIG. 4A, the latch bolt 2 is retracted into the case 4 against the spring 5. This latch release position is realized by an operation of pushing the operation plate 11 as shown by the arrow r1 or an operation of pushing the auxiliary operation plate 12 as shown by the arrow r2. By this operation, the operation plate 11 rotates around the rotation shaft 13. The rotation range of the operation plate 11 is defined by the rotatable range of the operation pin 14 in the groove 4e. When the operation pin 14 rotates, the wire 16 engages with the guide pin 15c to eliminate the slack. As a result, the wire 16 pulls the operation rod 6 toward the door end, so that the latch bolt 2 retracts against the spring 5. In this state, if the user further pushes the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12, the door rotates and opens.

Another example of the mechanism of the conversion unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5A schematically shows an example of the I-I cross section of FIG. 1B, and FIG. 5B schematically shows the III-III cross section of FIG. 1A.

At the latch position shown in FIG. 5A, the latch bolt 2 is urged by the spring 5 and protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. An operation rod 6 integrally fixed to the back surface of the latch bolt 2 penetrates the coiled spring 5 and extends horizontally toward the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The operation rod 6 penetrates the partition wall 4a in the case 4. One end of the spring 5 is supported by the back surface of the latch bolt 2, and the other end is supported by the partition wall 4a. A rack 17 is formed on the side surface of the operation rod 6 within a predetermined range from the tip thereof. Further, in the case 4, the pinion 18 is arranged at a position where it can be meshed with the rack 17. The pinion 18 has a vertical axis.

On the other hand, the operation pin 14 is provided on the side surface of the operation plate 11 on the door end side so as to project. The operation pin 14 is located in the groove 4e provided in the horizontal direction on the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The operation pin 14 is formed with a rack 19 extending along the rotation direction of the operation plate 11 starting from the tip thereof. As shown in FIG. 5B, the rack 19 is arranged so as to be toothed with the pinion 18 at a height position different from that of the rack 17.

As shown in FIG. 5A, at the latch position, the operation plate 11 is located parallel to the door surface 1a, and the operation pin 14 is located closest to the door surface 1a in the groove 4e.

6 (a) and 6 (b) are views corresponding to FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) when the latch bolt 2 is in the release position. At the latch release position shown in FIG. 6A, the latch bolt 2 is retracted into the case 4 against the spring 5. This latch release position is realized by an operation of pushing the operation plate 11 as shown by the arrow r1 or an operation of pushing the auxiliary operation plate 12 as shown by the arrow r2. By this operation, the operation plate 11 rotates around the rotation shaft 13. The rotation range of the operation plate 11 is defined by the rotatable range of the operation pin 14 in the groove 4e. When the operation pin 14 rotates, the rack 19 meshes with the pinion 18 to rotate the pinion 18. As a result, the rack 17 of the operation rod 6 that meshes with the pinion 18 moves linearly to the door tail side. As a result, the latch bolt 2 retracts against the spring 5.

The mechanism of the conversion unit shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is an example, and the mechanism for converting the rotation of the operation plate 11 into the retracting operation of the latch bolt 2 is not limited to these. The conversion unit can be variously configured by appropriately combining a cam, a link, a spring, a gear, a rack, and / or an electric drive device (the same applies to other embodiments).

7 (a) and 7 (b) are schematic perspective views similar to those of FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), and show a modified form of the first embodiment of the door operating device. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 7 shows two examples having different installation heights at the same time. The door operating device 10 shown by the solid line is incorporated above half the height of the door 1, and the door operating device 10'shown by the broken line is incorporated near the lower end of the door 1.

The door operating devices 10 and 10'shown in FIG. 7 have the same basic configuration as those shown in FIG. 1, but have a vertical length of the opening 1c (operation plate 11) as compared with the one shown in FIG. Is short. The opening area, contour shape, and / or installation height of the opening in the door operating device of the present invention can be freely set as long as the gist of the present invention is followed (also for other embodiments). the same). The door operating device 10 shown by the solid line is installed at a height assuming operation by an elbow or an arm. The door operating device 10'shown by the broken line is installed at a height assuming operation exclusively by the foot.

In the door operating devices 10 and 10'of FIG. 7, a modified example of the shape of the auxiliary operating plate 12 is also shown. In this case, the auxiliary operation plate 12 is not a flat plate, but is curved so as to be concave toward the door end side. This shape makes it easier to hang the elbow or arm on the auxiliary operation plate 12, so that it can be pushed more easily. This shape of the auxiliary operation plate 12 is also applicable to the auxiliary operation plate of other embodiments.

(2) Second Embodiment: Door that opens only to one side , rotation operation The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG. 8A is a schematic perspective view of the door 1 incorporating the door operating device 10 of the second embodiment as viewed from the door surface 1a, and FIG. 8B is a schematic perspective view seen from the door surface 1b on the opposite side. It is a perspective view. Door 1 is the only open verbosity A towards the door surface 1b. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the door 1 is in the closed position. Regarding the second embodiment, the points different from those of the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the common points may be omitted.

In the second embodiment, the door operating device 10 is incorporated in the vicinity of the lower end of the door 1. The door operating device 10 is operated exclusively by the user's feet. Similar to the first embodiment, the case 4 accommodating the latch bolt 2 is embedded in the door end side of the door 1. An open portion 1c adjacent to the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side is provided. As an example, the width of the opening 1c is 20 to 30 cm, which is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the height is 20 to 30 cm, which is the same as the width.

In the opening 1c, an operation plate 11 having a rectangular contour shape that substantially fits into the opening 1c is arranged. In the closed position of the door 1, the flat and wide sides of the operation plate 11 are parallel to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. The operation plate 11 has a predetermined thickness thinner than that of the door 1. It is preferable that one wide surface of the operation plate 11 is located on the same surface as the door surface 1a. The other wide surface of the operation plate 11 is located at a position retracted into the opening 1c from the door surface 1b. In the second embodiment, the rotation shaft 13 is provided along the lower end of the operation plate 11. Here, the rotating shaft 13 extends in the horizontal direction parallel to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. Specifically, the rotating shaft 13 is composed of, for example, a plurality of hinges.

Further, an auxiliary operation plate 12 extending substantially perpendicular to this surface is arranged with the surface of the operation plate 11 on the door surface 1b side as the starting end. The auxiliary operation plate 12 has a rectangular contour shape as an example. The auxiliary operation plate 12 does not have to be strictly perpendicular to the operation plate 11, and may be inclined by, for example, about −10 ° to + 10 ° with respect to the vertical position. One wide surface of the auxiliary operation plate 12 faces upward, and the other wide surface faces downward. The starting end of the auxiliary operation plate 12 is preferably arranged in the vicinity of the rotation shaft 13 of the operation plate 11. The boundary line between the auxiliary operation plate 12 and the operation plate 11 extends parallel to the rotation shaft 13. The auxiliary operation plate 12 can rotate around the rotation shaft 13 integrally with the operation plate 11.

9 (a) schematically shows an example of the IV-IV cross section of FIG. 8 (b), and FIG. 9 (b) corresponds to (a) when the door operating device 10 is operated to release the latch bolt. The cross section to be used is shown schematically. The arrow r1 shown in FIG. 9B schematically shows an operation in which the user on the door surface 1a side pushes the operation plate 11. Further, the arrow r2 schematically shows an operation in which the user on the door surface 1b side pushes the auxiliary operation plate 12. By operating the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12 in this way, the operation plate 11 rotates around the rotation shaft 13 toward the door surface 1b. The user can operate the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12 with particular feet. As another example, in order to facilitate the operation of the auxiliary operation plate 12, a curved plate that is concave upward may be used instead of a flat plate. Further, as another example, in order to facilitate the operation of the auxiliary operation plate 12, an upward rib (for example, see FIG. 17) may be provided along the edge thereof.

With reference to FIG. 10, an example of the mechanism of the conversion unit that converts the rotation of the operation plate 11 into the retracting operation of the latch bolt 2 will be described. FIG. 10A schematically shows an example of a VV cross section of FIG. 8B, and FIG. 10B schematically shows a cross section corresponding to (a) when the latch bolt is released. There is.

At the latch position shown in FIG. 10A, the latch bolt 2 is urged by the spring 5 and protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. An operation rod 6 integrally fixed to the back surface of the latch bolt 2 extends horizontally toward the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The operation rod 6 penetrates the partition wall 4a in the case 4. One end of the spring 5 is supported by the back surface of the latch bolt 2, and the other end is supported by the partition wall 4a. A rack 17 is formed on the side surface of the operation rod 6 within a predetermined range from the tip thereof. Further, in the case 4, the pinion 18 is arranged at a position where it can be meshed with the rack 17. The pinion 18 has a vertical axis. A bevel gear 21 is arranged below the vertical axis of the pinion 18.

On the other hand, the rotation shaft 13 at the lower end of the operation plate 11 is extended to the door end side, and the extension portion 13a is supported by the shaft hole 4f on the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side and enters the case 4. A bevel gear 20 is provided at the tip of the extension portion 13a. The bevel gear 20 and the bevel gear 21 are arranged so as to be in mesh with each other and their axes are at right angles to each other.

As shown in FIG. 10B, when the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12 is pushed by the user, the rotation shaft 13 rotates together with the operation plate 11. The rotation of the rotation shaft 13 is converted into the rotation of the pinion 18 by the bevel gears 20 and 21. As a result, the rack 17 of the operation rod 6 that meshes with the pinion 18 moves linearly to the door tail side. As a result, the latch bolt 2 retracts against the spring 5.

(3) Third Embodiment: Lock Mechanism With reference to FIGS. 11 to 13, a lock mechanism applicable to the door operating device 10 of the first embodiment described above will be described. The lock mechanism here is for holding the door in the closed position regardless of whether or not the user operates the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12.

FIG. 11A schematically shows an example of the locking mechanism of the door operating device 10 having the case 4 accommodating the latch bolt 2. The lock mechanism for the latch bolt 2 has a rod-shaped lock member 31 extending horizontally between the wide surface of the auxiliary operation plate 12 facing the door end side and the inner surface of the opening 1c on the door end side. One end of the lock member 31 is attached to the auxiliary operation plate 12. The lock member 31 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 are integrally provided so as to be slidably movable horizontally toward the door end side. For this purpose, bearing members 32 and 33 that support the lock member 31 are attached to a wide surface of the operation plate 11. Details of the locking mechanism for the latch bolt 2 will be described later with reference to FIG.

FIG. 11B shows the same door operating device 10 as in FIG. 11A. In this case, the case 4 accommodates the dead bolt 3 in addition to the latch bolt 2. The dead bolt 3 is similar to a dead bolt of a general door, and is provided at a height position different from that of the latch bolt 2 in the case 4. The locking mechanism in this case is a locking mechanism for the dead bolt 3. Similar to the lock mechanism for the latch bolt 2 shown in (a), it has a lock member 31, bearing members 32, and 33. Details of the locking mechanism for the dead bolt 3 will be described later with reference to FIG.

FIG. 12A schematically shows the unlocked state of the VI-VI cross section of FIG. 11A. As an example, this cross section is a cross section that crosses above the case 4. The door is in the closed position. A lock recess 1d is formed in the door body between the door surface 1a and the door surface 1b at a position facing the tip of the lock member 31. The lock recess 1d has a shape in which the tip end portion of the lock member 31 fits. In the unlocked state, the lock member 31 does not protrude from the side surface of the operation plate 11 on the door end side.

FIG. 12B shows the locked state of the latch bolt 2. It shows a state in which the auxiliary operation plate 12 is slid to the door end side by a predetermined distance L as shown by an arrow starting from the position (a). This slide movement can be performed by the user operating the auxiliary operation plate 12 as shown by the arrow. As a result, the tip of the lock member 31 protrudes beyond the side surface of the operation plate 11 and enters the lock recess 1d. As a result, the rotation of the operation plate 11 is blocked, so that the latch bolt cannot be released. In order to release this locked state, the auxiliary operation plate 12 is slid back in the opposite direction.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, the lock recess 1d is provided outside the case 4, but as another example, the lock recess may be provided inside the case 4. When the lock recess is provided in the case 4, the lock recess is provided at a height position that does not interfere with the latch bolt and the conversion portion.

FIG. 13A schematically shows the unlocked state of the VII-VII cross section of FIG. 11B. This cross section is a cross section that crosses the case 4. The door is in the closed position. The lock member 31 is attached to the auxiliary operation plate 12 so as to be at the same height as the dead bolt 3. In the unlocked state, the dead bolt 3 is in the retracted position, and the back surface of the dead bolt 3 is supported by the partition wall 4c in the case 4. Further, in the unlocked state, the lock member 31 does not protrude from the side surface of the operation plate 11 on the door end side.

The operation rod 8 integrally fixed to the back surface of the dead bolt 3 penetrates the partition wall 4c in the case 4, the coiled spring 7, and further penetrates the partition wall 4b on the door tail side and extends horizontally. doing. The operation rod 8 is formed with a collar portion 8a protruding in the radial direction between the partition wall 4c and the partition wall 4b. One end of the spring 7 is supported by the partition wall 4c, and the other end is supported by the collar portion 8a of the operation rod 8. In the unlocked state, the spring 7 urges the collar portion 8a of the operation rod 8 to the door end side so that the dead lock 3 does not protrude from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. The collar portion 8a is pressed against the partition wall 4b. As a result, the retracted position of the dead bolt 3 is defined.

FIG. 13B shows the locked state of the dead bolt 3. It shows a state in which the auxiliary operation plate 12 is slid to the door end side by a predetermined distance L as shown by an arrow starting from the position (a). This slide movement can be performed by the user operating the auxiliary operation plate 12. As a result, the tip of the lock member 31 protrudes beyond the side surface of the operation plate 11 and enters the case 4. As a result, the tip of the lock member 31 pushes the operation rod 8 toward the door end against the spring 7, so that the dead lock 3 protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. This state is the same as the locked state of the door by a general deadlock. The restoring force of the compressed spring 7 is set to such an extent that the lock member 31 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 cannot be pushed back. In order to release this locked state, the auxiliary operation plate 12 is slid back in the opposite direction.

In the lock mechanism shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the mechanism by which the auxiliary operation plate 12 and the lock member 31 are integrally slid with respect to the operation plate 11 is not limited to the bearing members 32 and 33. As another example, appropriate rail mechanisms (eg, ridges and grooves that fit together) may be formed between both relatively sliding parts. Further, the shape of the lock member 31 is not limited to the illustrated example.

(4) Fourth Embodiment: Door Opening in Any Direction , Rotation Operation The fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 14A is a schematic perspective view of the door 1A incorporating the door operating device 10 of the fourth embodiment as viewed from the door surface 1a, and FIG. 14B is a schematic perspective view seen from the door surface 1b on the opposite side. It is a perspective view. Door 1A is a door that can be opened in any of the door surface 1a side and the door surface 1b side. FIG. 14 shows a state in which the door 1A is in the closed position.

The door operating device 10 is incorporated in a part of the door 1A. The door operating device 10 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped case 4 embedded in the door end side of the door 1. The fourth embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, but the shape of the latch bolt 2A is different. The latch bolt 2A has a well-known shape corresponding to a door that opens in any direction (see, for example, Patent Documents 4 and 5). At the closed position of the door 1A, the latch bolt 2A protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side and enters the opposing latch receiving hole (not shown). As a result, the door 1A is prevented from opening in any direction.

The door operating device 10 has an opening 1c adjacent to the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. As an example, the opening 1c in FIG. 14 has the same position, shape, and size as the opening 1c in the first embodiment shown in FIG. Further, an operation plate 11 having a rectangular contour shape that substantially fits into the opening 1c is arranged. In the example of FIG. 14, the thickness of the operation plate 11 is substantially the same as the thickness of the door 1A, and occupies almost the entire opening 1c. However, the thickness of the operation plate 11 may be thinner than the thickness of the door 1A. A rotation shaft 13 is provided along the edge of the operation plate 11 on the door tail side. The rotation shaft 13 extends in the vertical direction. Specifically, the rotating shaft 13 is composed of, for example, a plurality of hinges.

In the fourth embodiment, the latch bolt 2A is released and the door 1A is opened by the user performing an operation of pushing and rotating the operation plate 11 from either the door surface 1a or the door surface 1b. It will be possible. The case 4 is provided with a conversion unit that converts the rotation of the operation plate 11 into the retracting operation of the latch bolt 2A. Since the operation plate 11 has a large operation surface, the user can easily operate the operation plate 11 by using a body part other than the fingers.

An example of the mechanism of the conversion unit will be described with reference to FIG. 15 (a) schematically shows an example of a cross section of VIII-VIII of FIG. 14 (b), and FIGS. 15 (b) and 15 (c) are cross-sectional views corresponding to (a) in the unlatched state. Since the mechanism shown in FIG. 15 is similar to the mechanisms shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 described above, refer to these figures as well.

At the latch position shown in FIG. 15A, the latch bolt 2A is urged by the spring 5 and protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. An operation rod 6 integrally fixed to the back surface of the latch bolt 2A penetrates the coiled spring 5 and extends horizontally toward the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The operation rod 6 penetrates the partition wall 4a in the case 4, and a first connecting pin 15a is provided at the end thereof. One end of the spring 5 is supported by the back surface of the latch bolt 2A, and the other end is supported by the partition wall 4a.

On the other hand, on the side surface of the operation plate 11 on the door end side, the operation pin 14 is provided so as to project at the same height position as the first connecting pin 15a. The operation pin 14 is provided with a second connecting pin 15b. The operation pin 14 is located in the groove 4e provided in the horizontal direction on the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side.

A plurality of guide pins 15c fixed to the case 4 and extending in the vertical direction are arranged at appropriate positions between the first connecting pin 15a and the second connecting pin 15b. Further, two wires 161 and 162 are provided with appropriate slack, and one end of each wire is connected to the first connecting pin 15a and the other end is connected to the second connecting pin 15b. However, the wires 161 and the wires 162 are defined by a plurality of guide pins 15c which have different routes from each other.

As shown in FIG. 15A, in the latch position, the operation plate 11 is located parallel to the door surfaces 1a and 1b, and the operation pin 14 is located at the center in the thickness direction of the door.

FIG. 15B shows a state when the operation plate 11 is pushed from the side of the door surface 1a as shown by arrow r1, and FIG. 15C shows a state when the operation plate 11 is pushed from the side of the door surface 1b as shown by arrow r2. .. By this pushing operation, the operation plate 11 rotates around the rotation shaft 13 in either direction. The rotation range of the operation plate 11 is defined by the rotatable range of the operation pin 14 in the groove 4e of the case 4. When the operation pin 14 rotates as shown in FIG. 15B, the wire 161 engages with the guide pin 15c to eliminate the slack. Further, when the operation pin 14 rotates as shown in FIG. 15 (c), the wire 162 engages with the guide pin 15c to eliminate the slack. In this way, the wire 161 or the wire 162 pulls the operation rod 6 toward the door end, so that the latch bolt 2A retracts against the spring 5.

In the fourth embodiment, the rotating shaft 13 is a vertical axis, but it is also possible to configure the rotating shaft 13 to be a horizontal axis as in the second embodiment described above.

(5) Fifth Embodiment: Doors that open in any direction , rotation operation The fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. FIG. 16A is a schematic perspective view of the door 1A incorporating the door operating device 10 of the fifth embodiment as viewed from the door surface 1a, and FIG. 16B is a schematic perspective view seen from the door surface 1b on the opposite side. It is a perspective view. Door 1A is a door that can be opened in any of the door surface 1a side and the door surface 1b side. FIG. 16 shows a state in which the door 1A is in the closed position.

Since the fifth embodiment is similar to the fourth embodiment described above, the description of common points may be omitted. In the fifth embodiment, the auxiliary operation plate 121 extending substantially perpendicular to the operation plate 11 with one surface of the operation plate 11 as the starting end, and the operation plate 11 with the other surface of the operation plate 11 as the starting end are omitted. It is a point having an auxiliary operation plate 122 extending vertically. As an example, the auxiliary operation plates 121 and 122 have the same shape as the auxiliary operation plate 12 shown in the first embodiment of FIG.

In the example of FIG. 16, the thickness of the operation plate 11 is substantially the same as the thickness of the door 1A, and occupies almost the entire opening 1c. However, the thickness of the operation plate 11 may be thinner than the thickness of the door 1A. A rotation shaft 13 is provided along the edge of the operation plate 11 on the door tail side. The rotation shaft 13 extends in the vertical direction. Specifically, the rotating shaft 13 is composed of, for example, a plurality of hinges.

In the fifth embodiment, the latch bolt 2A is released by the user pushing and rotating the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plates 121 and 122 from either the door surface 1a or the door surface 1b. , Door 1A can be opened. The case 4 is provided with a conversion unit that converts the rotation of the operation plate 11 into the retracting operation of the latch bolt 2A. Since the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plates 121 and 122 have a large operation surface, the user can easily operate the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plates 121 and 122 by using a body part other than the fingers.

FIG. 17 (a) schematically shows an example of the IX-IX cross section of FIG. 16 (b), and FIGS. 17 (b) and 17 (c) are cross-sectional views corresponding to (a) in the unlatched state. Since the conversion unit shown in FIG. 17 is the same as the conversion unit of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 15 described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 17A, in the latch position, the operation plate 11 is located parallel to the door surfaces 1a and 1b, and the operation pin 14 is located at the center in the thickness direction of the door. As shown, it is preferable to form rounded ribs 121a and 122a that project toward the door end along the edge edges of the auxiliary operation plates 121 and 122. When the user hangs an elbow or a foot on the ribs 121a and 122a, the auxiliary operation plates 121 and 122 can be easily operated. The ribs 121a and 122a can also be applied to the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12 of other embodiments.

In FIG. 17B, the operation plate 11 is pushed from the side of the door surface 1a as shown by arrow r1, or the auxiliary operation plate 122 is pushed from the side of the door surface 1b as shown by arrow r2. Is rotating. In FIG. 17C, the operation plate 11 is pushed by pushing the operation plate 11 from the side of the door surface 1b as shown by arrow r1 or by pushing the auxiliary operation plate 121 from the side of the door 1a as shown by arrow r2. It is rotating.

In the fifth embodiment, the rotating shaft 13 is a vertical axis, but it is also possible to configure the rotating shaft 13 to be a horizontal axis as in the second embodiment described above.

(6) Sixth Embodiment: Locking Mechanism A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The sixth embodiment relates to a locking mechanism applied to the fifth embodiment. The locking mechanism here is for holding the door in the closed position regardless of whether or not the user operates it.

FIG. 18A schematically shows an example in which the locking mechanism of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 11A described above is applied to the door operating device 10 of the fifth embodiment described above. .. Here, the lock member 31 and the bearing members 32 and 33 are provided in the space secured by making a part of the thickness of the operation plate 11 thinner than the thickness of the door 1A. The lock member 31 and the auxiliary operation plate 122 are integrally provided so as to be slidably movable horizontally toward the door end side. For this purpose, bearing members 32 and 33 that support the lock member 31 are attached to a wide surface of the operation plate 11.

FIG. 18B schematically shows the unlocked state of the XX cross section of (a). As an example, this cross section is a cross section that crosses above the case 4. The door is in the closed position. A lock recess 1d is formed in the door body between the door surface 1a and the door surface 1b at a position facing the tip of the lock member 31. The lock recess 1d has a shape in which the tip end portion of the lock member 31 fits. In the unlocked state, the lock member 31 does not protrude from the side surface of the operation plate 11 on the door end side.

FIG. 18C shows a locked state. It shows a state in which the auxiliary operation plate 122 is slid to the door end side by a predetermined distance L as shown by an arrow starting from the position (b). This slide movement can be performed by the user operating the auxiliary operation plate 122. As a result, the tip of the lock member 31 protrudes beyond the side surface of the operation plate 11 and enters the lock recess 1d. As a result, the rotation of the operation plate 11 is blocked, so that the latch bolt cannot be released. In order to release this locked state, the auxiliary operation plate 122 is slid back in the opposite direction.

In the example shown in FIG. 18, the lock recess 1d is provided outside the case 4, but as another example, the lock recess may be provided inside the case 4. When the lock recess is provided in the case 4, the lock recess is provided at a height position that does not interfere with the latch bolt and the conversion portion.

Although not shown, as another example of the sixth embodiment, the locking mechanism of the dead bolt 3 shown in FIGS. 11B and 13 can also be applied.

(7) Seventh Embodiment: A door that opens only on one side , a linear movement operation The seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. FIG. 19A is a schematic perspective view of the door 1 incorporating the door operating device 10 of the seventh embodiment as viewed from the door surface 1a, and FIG. 19B is a schematic perspective view seen from the door surface 1b on the opposite side. It is a perspective view. Door 1 is a door. FIG. 19 shows a state in which the door 1 is in the closed position.

FIG. 19 shows two examples having different installation heights at the same time for convenience of explanation. The door operating device 10 shown by the solid line is incorporated above half the height of the door 1, and the door operating device 10'shown by the broken line is incorporated near the lower end of the door 1. Since these have the same configuration, the door operating device 10 will be described.

The door operating device 10 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped case 4 embedded in the door end side of the door 1. The case 4 is the same as each of the above-described embodiments, and here, the latch bolt 2 is housed. The door operating device 10 further has an opening 1c adjacent to the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The opening 1c exists over the entire thickness direction of the door 1 and penetrates a part of the door 1. In the example of FIG. 1, the opening 1c has a circular contour shape. As an example, the diameter of the opening 1c is less than half the width of the door 1, for example about 20-30 cm. The contour shape of the opening 1c is not limited to a circular shape, and may be, for example, a rectangular shape or a polygonal shape.

Further, in the opening 1c, an operation plate 11 having a contour shape that substantially fits into the opening 1c is arranged. The flat both sides of the operation plate 11 are parallel to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. The operation plate 11 has a predetermined thickness thinner than that of the door 1. It is preferable that one wide surface of the operation plate 11 is located on the same surface as the door surface 1a. The other wide surface of the operation plate 11 is located at a position retracted into the opening 1c from the door surface 1b. Further, a connecting member 25 extending in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the operation plate 11 facing the door 1 opening, in this case, the surface on the door surface 1b side as a starting point is attached. As an example, a rod-shaped connecting member 25 is attached to the center of the operation plate 11.

The connecting member 25 projects further from the door surface 1b by a predetermined distance, and an auxiliary operation plate 12 is attached to the tip thereof. As an example, the auxiliary operation plate 12 is a circular plate having the same size as the operation plate 11, and the tip of the connecting member 25 is connected to the center thereof. The contour shape of the auxiliary operation plate 12 is not limited to a circular shape, and its size is appropriately set. The auxiliary operation plate 12 is attached so as to be substantially parallel to the operation plate 11. However, the auxiliary operation plate 12 does not have to be strictly parallel to the operation plate 11, and may be inclined by, for example, about −10 ° to + 10 ° with respect to the parallel position. As described above, the operation plate 11, the connecting member 25, and the auxiliary operation plate 12 constitute an integral member.

The operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 are installed so as to be linearly movable in a direction perpendicular to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. In order to move the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 in a straight line, the user can push the operation plate 11 from the door surface 1a side. Further, the user can pull the auxiliary operation plate 12 from the door surface 1b side. Since the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 have a larger operation surface than a general door handle, the user uses body parts other than the fingers, such as elbows, arms, legs, knees, feet, and hips. The operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12 can be easily operated.

Although details will be described later, the case 4 is provided with a conversion unit that converts the linear movement of the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 into a retracting operation of the latch bolt 2. Therefore, the latch bolt 2 is released by the user operating the operation plate 11 or the auxiliary operation plate 12. As a result, the user can open the door 1. That is, the user can open the door 1 without using fingers.

An example of the mechanism of the conversion unit will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 (a) schematically shows an example of the XI-XI cross section of FIG. 19 (b), and FIG. 20 (b) corresponds to (a) when the door operating device 10 is operated to release the latch bolt 2. The cross section to be used is shown schematically.

At the latch position shown in FIG. 20A, the latch bolt 2 is urged by the spring 5 and protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. An operation rod 6 integrally fixed to the back surface of the latch bolt 2 penetrates the coiled spring 5 and extends horizontally toward the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The operation rod 6 penetrates the partition wall 4a in the case 4. One end of the spring 5 is supported by the back surface of the latch bolt 2, and the other end is supported by the partition wall 4a. A rack 17 is formed on the side surface of the operation rod 6 within a predetermined range from the tip thereof. Further, in the case 4, the pinion 18 is arranged at a position where it can be meshed with the rack 17. The pinion 18 has a vertical axis.

On the other hand, an operation pin 14 projecting from the peripheral edge of the circular operation plate 11 closest to the door end side is provided. The operation pin 14 is located in a groove 27 provided in the horizontal direction on the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side, and can move along the groove 27. The operation pin 14 is formed with a rack 19 extending from the tip thereof along the moving direction of the operation plate 11. The rack 19 is toothably arranged with the pinion 18 at a different height position than the rack 17 (see also FIG. 5B showing a similar configuration).

Further, in the cross section of FIG. 20A, a support pin 26 is provided so as to project from the peripheral edge opposite to the operation pin 14 with respect to the diameter of the operation plate 11. The support pin 26 is located in a groove 28 horizontally provided in the door body adjacent to the opening 1c and can move along the groove 28. The operation plate 11 is supported by the operation pin 14 and the support pin 16 so as to be linearly movable in the opening 1c. As shown in FIG. 20A, in the latch position, the operation plate 11 is located on the same surface as the door surface 1a, and the operation pin 14 is located closest to the door surface 1a.

At the release position of the latch bolt 2 shown in FIG. 20B, the latch bolt 2 is retracted into the case 4 against the spring 5. The release position of the latch bolt 2 is realized by a pushing operation on the operation plate 11 indicated by the arrow m1 or a pulling operation on the auxiliary operation plate 12 indicated by the arrow m2. By this operation, the operation plate 11 moves linearly from the door surface 1a to the door surface 1b. The operation plate 11 moves linearly while maintaining a parallel relationship with the door surfaces 1a and 1b. The movable range of the operation plate 11 is defined by the movable range of the operation pin 14 and the support pin 26 in the grooves 27 and 28. When the operation pin 14 moves, the rack 19 meshes with the pinion 18 to rotate the pinion 18. As a result, the rack 17 of the operation rod 6 that meshes with the pinion 18 moves linearly to the door tail side. As a result, the latch bolt 2 retracts against the spring 5 (see also FIG. 6B showing a similar configuration).

(8) Eighth Embodiment: A door that opens in any direction , a linear movement operation The eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. 21 (a) is a schematic perspective view of the door 1A incorporating the door operating device 10 of the eighth embodiment as viewed from the door surface 1a, and FIG. 21 (b) is a schematic perspective view of the door 1A as viewed from the opposite door surface 1b. It is a perspective view. Door 1A is a door that can be opened in any of the door surface 1a side and the door surface 1b side. FIG. 21 shows a state in which the door 1A is in the closed position.

The door operating device 10 is incorporated in a part of the door 1A. The door operating device 10 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped case 4 embedded in the door end side of the door 1. In the eighth embodiment, similarly to the fourth embodiment described above, La Tchiboruto 2A is housed in the case 4.

The door operating device 10 has an opening 1c adjacent to the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side and penetrating the door 1A. The opening 1c in FIG. 21 has a rectangular contour shape. The frame 40 projects from the peripheral edge of the opening 1c on the door surface 1a, while the frame 41 projects from the peripheral edge of the opening 1c on the door surface 1b. The space surrounded by these frames 40 and 41 is a space continuous with the opening 1c. Therefore, the opening 1c is expanded by the protruding length of these frames 40 and 41. Further, an operation plate 11 having a contour shape that substantially fits into the opening 1c is arranged in the opening 1c. In FIG. 21, the thickness of the operation plate 11 is thinner than the thickness of the door 1A, preferably less than half the thickness of the door 1A. Thereby, the operation plate 11 can be linearly moved in the direction perpendicular to the door surfaces 1a and 1b within the expanded opening 1c.

In the eighth embodiment, the latch bolt 2A is released and the door 1A is opened by the user pushing the operation plate 11 from either the door surface 1a or the door surface 1b to move the operation plate 11 in a straight line. It will be possible. The case 4 is provided with a conversion unit that converts the movement of the operation plate 11 into the retracting operation of the latch bolt 2A. Since the operation plate 11 has a large operation surface, the user can easily operate the operation plate 11 by using a body part other than the fingers.

An example of the mechanism of the conversion unit will be described with reference to FIG. 22 (a) schematically shows an example of the XII-XII cross section of FIG. 21 (b), and (b) and (c) are cross-sectional views corresponding to (a) in the unlatched state.

At the latch position shown in FIG. 22A, the latch bolt 2A is urged by the spring 5 and protrudes from the side surface of the case 4 on the door end side. An operation rod 6 integrally fixed to the back surface of the latch bolt 2A penetrates the coiled spring 5 and extends horizontally toward the side surface of the case 4 on the door tail side. The operation rod 6 penetrates the partition wall 4a in the case 4, and a first connecting pin 15a is provided at the end thereof. One end of the spring 5 is supported by the back surface of the latch bolt 2A, and the other end is supported by the partition wall 4a.

A pair on the bottom surface (preferably also on the ceiling surface) of the opening 1c (including the inside of the frames 40 and 41 in this case) so that the operation plate 11 can smoothly move in the direction perpendicular to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. Grooves 29 and 30 are provided. Although not shown, a pair of protrusions that fit into the grooves 29 and 30 are formed on the lower surface of the operation plate 11 (preferably also on the upper surface). As another example, a pair of ridges may be provided instead of the grooves 29 and 30, and a pair of grooves to be fitted to the lower surface of the operation plate 11 may be formed. The mechanism for smoothly linearly moving the operation plate 11 is not limited to this.

The operation pin 14 is provided on the side surface of the operation plate 11 on the door end side so as to project at the same height position as the first connecting pin 15a. The operation pin 14 is provided with a second connecting pin 15b.

A plurality of guide pins 15c fixed to the case 4 and extending in the vertical direction are arranged at appropriate positions between the first connecting pin 15a and the second connecting pin 15b. Further, two wires 161 and 162 are provided with appropriate slack, and one end of each wire is connected to the first connecting pin 15a and the other end is connected to the second connecting pin 15b. However, the wires 161 and the wires 162 are defined by a plurality of guide pins 15c which have different routes from each other.

As shown in FIG. 22A, when the latch bolt 2A protrudes, the operation plate 11 and the operation pin 14 are located at the center of the opening 1c in the direction perpendicular to the door surfaces 1a and 1b.

22 (b) shows the state when the operation plate 11 is pushed from the side of the door surface 1a as shown by the arrow m1, and FIG. 22 (c) shows the state when the operation plate 11 is pushed from the side of the door surface 1b as shown by the arrow m2. Is shown. By this pushing operation, the operation plate 11 linearly moves in any direction perpendicular to the door surfaces 1a and 1b. The moving range of the operation plate 11 is defined by the protruding lengths of the frames 40 and 41. For this purpose, for example, the return portions 40a and 41a formed on the edge edges of the frames 40 and 41 serve as stoppers for the operation plate 11.

When the operation pin 14 moves as shown in FIG. 22B, the wire 161 engages with the guide pin 15c to eliminate the slack. Further, when the operation pin 14 rotates as shown in FIG. 22 (c), the wire 162 engages with the guide pin 15c to eliminate the slack. In this way, the wire 161 or the wire 162 pulls the operation rod 6 toward the door end, so that the latch bolt 2A retracts against the spring 5.

(9) Ninth Embodiment: Locking Mechanism A ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 23. A ninth embodiment relates to a locking mechanism applied to the eighth embodiment. The lock mechanism here is for holding the door in the closed position regardless of whether or not the user operates the operation plate 11.

FIG. 23 (a) schematically shows an example of the XIII-XIII-cross section of FIG. 21 (b). This cross section is a cross section in the vicinity of the dead bolt 3 provided above the latch bolt 2A in the case 4. FIG. 23A shows the unlocked state.

In the ninth embodiment, of the frames 40 and 41 on the periphery of the opening 1c in the eighth embodiment, one of the frames 41 can slide toward the door end side with respect to the door surface 1b by a predetermined distance L. Is. Although not shown, this can be achieved by providing, for example, a mechanism in which a rail and a groove are combined between the frame 41 and the door surface 1b. A transmission member 42 for connecting a part of the frame 41 and the dead bolt 3 is provided on the door end side of the frame 41. The transmission member 42 extends into the case 4 through holes formed in the door surface 1b and the side wall of the case 4, and is connected to the back surface of the dead bolt 3.

FIG. 23B shows a locked state. This is a state in which the frame 41 is slid to the door end side by a predetermined distance L starting from the position (a). This slide movement can be performed by the user operating the frame 41 as shown by the arrow s. As a result, the transmission member 42 pushes the dead bolt 3 out of the case 4. As a result, even if the user operates the operation plate 11 to release the latch, the door cannot be opened. In order to release this locked state, the frame 41 is slid back in the opposite direction.

(10) Tenth Embodiment: Door that opens in any direction , linear movement operation The tenth embodiment is a modification of the eighth embodiment shown in FIGS. 21 and 22. FIG. 24 is a cross-sectional view of the tenth embodiment corresponding to FIG. 22 (a) described above.

In the tenth embodiment, the opening 1c is extended only toward one door surface 1b. The frame 40 provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 1c on the door surface 1a is a flat frame that does not protrude from the door surface 1a. On the other hand, the frame 41 provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 1c on the door surface 1b projects from the door surface 1b. The protruding length of the frame 41 from the door surface 1b is set according to the linear movement distance required for the operation plate 11.

The mechanism of the conversion unit is basically the same as that of the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. However, the wires 161 and 162 have different lengths from each other. In the tenth embodiment, since there is no frame protruding from the door surface 1a and it is flat, it is suitable for, for example, when the side of the door surface 1a is a passage.

(11) Other Embodiments In each of the above-described embodiments, it is preferable that the opening 1c is sufficiently large so as to facilitate the operation by the user. For example, the vertical length of the rectangular opening 1c is preferably between 0.3 and 0.8 times the door height. Further, for example, the horizontal length of the rectangular opening 1c or the diameter of the circular opening 1c is preferably between 0.2 and 0.6 times the door width. Further, when the user operates the door with his / her foot, it is preferable that the opening 1c is located at a position lower than a quarter height from the bottom of the door height.

In some embodiments, the auxiliary operating plate 12 is arranged substantially perpendicular to the operating plate 11. Therefore, if a load that greatly exceeds the force for pushing the auxiliary operation plate 12 is applied during normal operation, the mounting portion of the auxiliary operation plate 12 may be damaged. To prevent this, the auxiliary operating plate 12 can tilt toward the operating plate 11 when an overload is applied, and when the overload is removed, the auxiliary operating plate 12 stands up again to the original position. It is preferable to provide a structure capable of returning to the posture at the connection portion between the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12. Such an overload prevention mechanism is well known.

In each embodiment, when the opening 1c and the operation plate 11 have a rectangular contour in a plane parallel to the door surface, the corners of the contour may be chamfered or rounded.

Regarding the embodiment in which the operation plate 11 does not protrude from the door surface, it is preferable that the operation plate 11 is arranged on the door surface facing the aisle side. As a result, there are no protrusions on the aisle side of the door, which looks good and at the same time there is no risk of collision.

Since the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 of each embodiment are flat plates having a relatively wide surface, cleaning and alcohol disinfection can be easily performed.

Of course, the operation plate 11 and the auxiliary operation plate 12 of each embodiment can be operated by fingers. However, the user can select an operation using other than the fingers.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings showing some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention also includes embodiments in which the characteristic configurations of the respective embodiments are combined. Further, as long as the gist of the present invention is met, a wider variety of modified forms are possible.
