Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a telescoping gate, and more specifically, a method for storing the door body of the telescoping gate in the most contracted state on one side of the opening. This invention relates to a storage device for a retractable gate.

(Prior Art) Telescopic gates have traditionally been widely used as doors in front of garages. In other words, the telescoping gate has the advantage that the frontage can be used more effectively when compared to a sliding door, etc., since the door moves telescopically.

By the way, with this type of retractable gate, even when the door body is at its minimum size, a part of the frontage is blocked by the most contracted door body, making it impossible to completely open the entire width of the frontage. There was a problem.

In order to improve these problems, recently,
As shown in FIG. 8, the opposite end 10 of the door body 102
2a is pivotally attached to the pillar 104, and when the door body 102 is at its most contracted position, it is turned inward at an angle of 90° with respect to the direction of expansion and contraction of the door body, as shown by the chain line 102', so that the frontage X is made full width. Attempts have been made to make it open across the board. However, when the door body 102 is minimized in this way and is turned inward, although the frontage X can be fully opened, the outer end 102b of the door body 102 moves when the door body is turned. In addition to the problem that the trajectory Q extends far into the user's space used as a garage, etc., and the so-called dead space becomes large, the door body is pivoted with cantilever support.
There was a problem in that unnatural effects such as sagging on the side opposite to the pivot point of the gate body shortened the service life of the gate.

(Purpose of the invention) In view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional method of storing the door body of a retractable gate, the present invention stores the minimized door body of the retractable gate at the side edge inside the user-side space. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a storage device for a door body that can minimize the dead space created by the movement of the door body and extend its service life. It is something.

(Means for Achieving the Purpose) The telescoping gate storage device of the present invention has a door body formed by sequentially telescopingly connecting a plurality of vertical bars with a telescoping link mechanism, which is moved in the left and right direction along a telescoping guide rail. In a telescoping gate that can be telescopically opened and closed, the telescoping guide rail is extended over a length range from the gate opening/closing side end in the gate opening width except for a length range that is approximately the same as the gate body width when the gate body is at its minimum contraction. A fixed guide rail fixed to the fixed guide rail, which has a length that can hold the entire door body when the door body is at its maximum contraction, and is continuous and separated from the fixed guide rail while holding the door body at the maximum contraction position. Furthermore, on the side opposite to opening and closing the gate, there is provided a left-right auxiliary guide rail that faces in the same direction as the fixed guide rail and has a length that covers the non-installation range of the fixed guide rail. On the other hand, a front-rear auxiliary guide rail is provided at the opposite end of the gate to the left-right auxiliary guide rail, and is oriented horizontally at right angles to the left-right auxiliary guide rail. A left-right sliding member guided by the left-right auxiliary guide rail is attached to the end of the plate-like body on the gate opening/closing side, and a left-right sliding member guided by the left-right auxiliary guide rail is attached to the end of the plate-like body opposite to the gate opening/closing side. Front and rear sliding members guided by guide rails are provided, and the left and right sliding members run along the left and right auxiliary guide rails, and the front and rear sliding members run along the front and rear auxiliary guide rails. The present invention is characterized in that the plate-shaped body is configured to be able to change its posture within the range of a posture facing in the left-right direction and a posture facing in the front-rear direction while sliding.

(Function) According to the present invention, when the door body is minimized in the anti-opening/closing side, the door body is completely transferred from the fixed guide rail side to the movable guide rail side, and at that time, the door body and the movable guide rail are A movable guide rail sliding member provided at the end of the plate-like body on the gate opening/closing side is connected to a left-right auxiliary guide rail provided on the side opposite to opening/closing the gate, and a movable guide rail sliding member provided at the end of the plate-like body on the side opposite to opening/closing the gate The front and back sliding members provided on the front and back sides are guided by the front and rear auxiliary guide rails installed on the opposite end of the gate. When pressed or pulled in the extending direction of the front-back auxiliary guide rail, the plate-shaped body is guided by the left-right sliding member and the front-back sliding member to the left-right auxiliary guide rail and the front-back auxiliary guide rail, respectively. The robot gradually changes its posture while being moved, and is finally moved to a posture facing in the front-rear direction at the end on the side opposite to opening/closing the gate. In this state, the entire width of the frontage of the gate will be open. In addition, when closing the gate from the fully open state described above, if you hold the end of the plate-shaped body facing in the front-back direction near the front and push (or pull) it in the closing direction, the plate-shaped body will close at both ends. are guided by the left and right auxiliary guide rails and the front and rear auxiliary guide rails, respectively, and change their posture sequentially, and when the plate-shaped body is completely oriented left and right, the movable guide rail is in a straight line with respect to the fixed guide rail. In this state, the gate can be closed by pushing (or pulling) the opening/closing side end of the door in the closing direction. When changing the posture of the minimized door body between the left-right orientation and the front-back orientation, the trajectory that the inner surface of the plate moves within the user-side space is a concave arc shape. Therefore, the width of the plate-shaped body extending into the user space becomes smaller. Further, when changing the posture of the plate-like body, since the left and right sides of the plate-like body are supported respectively, unnatural effects, such as in the case of cantilever support, are not exerted on the plate-like body.
