Description

The present invention relates to an automatic door with left and right vertical members and an opening.

In an automatic door, the opening is opened and closed by the opening door, which moves between the left and right vertical members. When closing the opening, the opening door moves toward one of the vertical members, and the door edge of the opening door hits the door stop. Conventionally, automatic doors have been known that use a mullion (split mullion) made up of two combined upright members as the vertical member (see Patent Document 1).

In the conventional automatic door described in Patent Document 1, the upright member of the mullion has a projection piece, an extension piece extending from the projection piece, and an interior frame material. The interior frame material is a door stop material that holds a rubber door stop, and the door edge of the opening and closing door abuts the door stop rubber of the interior frame material. However, the interior frame material is fixed to the extension piece from the outside of the room with screws, and is also fixed to the projection piece with screws. As a result, it is time-consuming to position the interior frame material in the position where the door edge of the opening and closing door abuts, including the process of fixing the interior frame material. Furthermore, with conventional automatic doors, the design of the mullion area is determined by the appearance of the mullion, so there is room for improvement in terms of improving the design of the mullion area.

Multi-window and automatic doors are installed in the exterior wall of a building and are located between the interior (indoor) and exterior (outdoor) of the building.

(First embodiment)
Fig. 1 is a front view of the continuous window 1 and automatic door 2 of the first embodiment, showing the continuous window 1 and automatic door 2 installed in a building as seen from inside the room. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the automatic door 2 of the first embodiment, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal cross-sectional view of the continuous window 1 and automatic door 2 of the first embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the continuous window 1 comprises an automatic door 2 and a plurality of window sections 3. The automatic doors 2 and the window sections 3 are installed side by side in the left-right direction S on a floor 4 of a building.

When viewing the multi-window window 1 and automatic door 2 installed in a building from the front, the up-down direction is the up-down direction R, and the left-right direction is the left-right direction S. In Figure 1, the up-down direction R is the vertical direction, and the left-right direction S is the horizontal direction. The indoor-outdoor direction T is the indoor-outdoor direction (indoor-outdoor direction) for the multi-window window 1 and automatic door 2 installed in a building. Furthermore, the indoor-outdoor direction T is the front-to-back direction when viewing the multi-window window 1 and automatic door 2 installed in a building from the front, and in Figure 1 it is the horizontal direction perpendicular to the left-to-right direction S. In this way, the directions related to the multi-window window 1 and automatic door 2 are specified by the directions when they are installed in a building. Furthermore, the indoor and outdoor sides of the multi-window window 1 and automatic door 2 refer to the indoor and outdoor sides when they are installed in a building.

The automatic door 2 is positioned between the left and right window sections 3. The left and right window sections 3 are located on either side of the automatic door 2 in the left-right direction S, and are spaced apart in the left-right direction S, with the automatic door 2 sandwiched between them. The automatic door 2 and the left and right window sections 3 are adjacent in the left-right direction S, and are each connected to a vertical member 10. The vertical member 10 is a mullion extending in the up-down direction R (vertical direction), is formed in a hollow shape, and is installed where the automatic door 2 and window section 3 are adjacent. The automatic door 2 and window section 3 adjacent in the left-right direction S are positioned on the outdoor side of the common vertical member 10 and are connected to the common vertical member 10.

The window section 3 is a fixed window and comprises a panel body 3A and a frame body 3B that surrounds the panel body 3A. The panel body 3A is a rectangular glass panel body (e.g., plate glass, double-glazed glass, or laminated glass) and is arranged inside the frame body 3B. The frame body 3B is a rectangular opening frame (window frame) and has a pair of vertical frames 20 connected to vertical members 10. The vertical frames 20 are the left and right side frames of the frame body 3B and extend in the vertical direction R on the left and right sides of the frame body 3B.

The exterior fixing device 61 is inserted from the left-right direction S of the first cover 30A through the insertion hole of the retaining member 9B of the doorstop member 9 and the insertion hole of the first cover 30A, and then threaded into the screw hole of the first support portion 14 of the first vertical member 10A. The first cover 30A is sandwiched between the retaining member 9B of the doorstop member 9 and the first support portion 14 of the first vertical member 10A.

The indoor-side fixing device 62 is a fixing device (cover fixing device) for the first cover 30A and is located on the indoor side of the outdoor-side fixing device 61. The indoor-side fixing device 62 is fixed to the first cover 30A and attaches the doorstop material 9 to the first cover 30A. The indoor-side fixing device 62 is inserted through the insertion hole of the retaining material 9B of the doorstop material 9 from the left-right direction S side of the first cover 30A and then threaded into the screw hole of the first cover 30A. As a result, the indoor-side fixing device 62 is fixed to the portion of the first cover 30A where the doorstop material 9 is attached.

In the automatic door 2 described above, the vertical member 10 is covered with the cover 30, making it less visible. The design of the cover 30 also allows the appearance of the vertical member 10 on the automatic door 2 to be set, and the cover 30 can also create a unified appearance for the vertical member 10 on the automatic door 2, even for vertical members 10 of various shapes. The doorstop 9 is attached to the first cover 30A, reducing the effort required for installing the doorstop 9. This improves the design of the vertical member 10 on the automatic door 2, and makes it easy to install the doorstop 9 in a position where it will come into contact with the door leading edge 6C of the opening and closing door 6.

The outdoor fixing device 61 fixed to the first vertical member 10A allows the doorstop material 9 to be stably attached to the first cover 30A. The outdoor fixing device 61 can also be firmly fixed to the first vertical member 10A, allowing the doorstop material 9 to be firmly attached to the first cover 30A. The indoor fixing device 62 fixed to the first cover 30A also allows the doorstop material 9 to be easily attached to the first cover 30A.

The shape of the first vertical member 10A may be changed so that the outdoor fixing device 61 is fixed to the first cover 30A and the indoor fixing device 62 is fixed to the first vertical member 10A. Alternatively, both the outdoor fixing device 61 and the indoor fixing device 62 may be fixed to the first cover 30A. In this case, for example, the outdoor fixing device 61 is inserted into the insertion hole of the first support portion 14 of the first vertical member 10A, and then screwed into the screw hole of the first cover 30A. Alternatively, both the outdoor fixing device 61 and the indoor fixing device 62 may be fixed to the first vertical member 10A. In this way, the doorstop member 9 may be attached to the first cover 30A using only one or more fixing devices fixed to the first vertical member 10A, or the doorstop member 9 may be attached to the first cover 30A using only one or more fixing devices fixed to the first cover 30A. Here, the present invention has been described using a hollow vertical member 10 as an example, but the vertical member 10 is not limited to a hollow shape and may have other shapes (for example, a solid shape). The present invention is not limited by the shape of the vertical member 10 and can be implemented with vertical members 10 of various shapes.

Next, we will explain other embodiments of the automatic door 2. In each of the following embodiments, we will omit explanations of the same aspects as in the first embodiment and will mainly explain the aspects that differ from the first embodiment.
