Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a storm door device that connects adjacent storm shutters by interposing a connecting tool so that all the shutters can be opened and closed in succession by only opening and closing one end of the shutter. , As this premise, for example,
As shown in Publication No. 69748, a shutter is used in which the front end surface of the shutter is inclined to face the outdoor direction, and the rear end surface is inclined parallel to the front end surface, thereby simplifying the operation of opening and closing the shutter. In addition, we aim to propose a storm door device that will help prevent theft.

In other words, the present storm door device interposes a connector between the above-mentioned adjacent shutters, and the method of interposing the connector is to connect one end of the connector to the adjacent end of one of the shutters. While movably attached so that the coupling device itself can freely rotate, a guide rail is provided laterally on the back side of the other storm door,
The other end of the connector is movably mounted within the rail, and adjacent shutters are linked as appropriate by means of engagement pieces provided on the other shutter. The present invention will be explained below based on an illustrated embodiment.

1 to 3, the storm door device according to the present invention has front end surfaces 1a, 2a of the shutters 1, 2 facing the outdoor direction and slanting, and rear end surfaces 1b,
2b is inclined parallel to the front end surfaces 1a, 2a. If the front and rear end surfaces of the shutters 1 and 2 are formed to be inclined in this way, when the shutters 1 and 2 are on the rail 3 as when the shutters are closed, for example, one of the shutters 1 is pushed in the direction of the other shutter 2. Anyway, the other shutter 2
As a result, the shutters 2 only move in the same direction on the rails 3, but when the shutters 2 are pushed into the door pockets 4, the rails 3, which had restricted the movement of the shutters 2 in a certain direction, no longer move into the door pockets 4. Since it does not exist, the restriction is lifted, and the shutter 2 is pushed to the back of the door pocket 4 by the pressing force of the shutter 1 toward the outdoor side and by the door stop block 5a normally present in the door pocket.

The shutter device of the present invention is further shown in Figures 4 to 10.
As shown in the figure, a connecting tool 6 is interposed between the shutters 1 and 2. That is, one end 6a of the connector 6 is rotatably attached to the adjacent end of one of the shutters 1, a guide rail 7 is provided laterally on the back side of the other shutter 2, and the other end of the connector 6 is rotatably attached. 6b is attached to the guide rail 7 so as to be movable. In the embodiment, the connector connects both ends 6a and 6b to the connecting rod 6.
Although one end 6a is fixed to the shutter 1, the connector 6 itself can be rotated freely, and the other end 6b has trochanters 6b' and 6.
b' is attached and this trochanter 6b' is fitted into the guide rail 7, so that the other end can run on the guide rail 7 without coming off from it. However, it goes without saying that the connectors 6 are not limited to the embodiments described above, and the number of connectors 6 to be installed in the shutter, their positions, etc. can be selected as appropriate. In the normal case, stile connecting blocks 8 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the vertical frames of the shutters 1 and 2, and a connecting tool 6 is attached to the lower part of the shutters. In this invention, the connector 6
A long hole 6b'' is formed in the other end 6b, and the other end of the connecting rod 6c is movably provided in the long hole. In the figure, one end 6a of the connecting tool 6 has its lower part bent. At the same time, a hanging piece 6a'' is formed on one side of the attachment piece to serve as a stopper when the connecting rod 6c rotates.
6d is a back plate. Further, the block 8 has a vertical stile protruding piece 82 and a horizontal stile protruding piece 83 projecting from the main body 81, as shown in detail in FIGS. 11 to 5. forms a recess 82a. This is because one end 6a of the connector 6 is attached to the vertical frame 11 in this example, so the operation of the connecting rod 6c, which is rotatably attached to the portion 6a, is hindered by the protrusion 82. The recessed portion 82a is formed so as not to overlap. However, the connecting rod 6c is
When the shutter 1 rotates to a position of approximately 90 degrees, the protruding piece 82 prevents the rotation.

In addition, in the shutter device of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the stile 11 of one shutter 1 is
Notch holes 12 and 23 are formed in the shutters 2, and an engaging piece 22 is provided in the stile 21 of the other shutter 2. In this example, the notch hole 12 is formed at an intermediate position on the side wall of the stile 11, and correspondingly the engaging piece 22 is inserted into the stile 2.
It is installed on the side wall of 1. This engagement piece 22 has a hook shape with a tip 22a bent parallel to the front end surface 1a of the shutter, and when pulling out the shutters 1 and 2 from the door pocket 4, the tip 22a of the engagement piece 22 is Notch hole 1
2 and engage with each other, thereby making the connection between the shutters 1 and 2 even more rigid. In addition, when storing the shutters 1 and 2 in the door pocket, the engagement piece 2 is
2 will be smoothly removed from the notch hole 12.

Next, the opening/closing operation of the storm door device of the present invention will be explained. First, when opening the shutters 1 and 2 from the closed state shown in FIG. 1, it is sufficient to simply push the shutter 1 toward the door pocket 4. That is, when the shutters 1 and 2 are on the rail 3, the shutter 2 is regulated by the rail 3 and pushed into the door pocket, as described above. If it is pressed again, the restriction is released, and the front part of the shutter 2 is guided by the doorstop block 5a and moves toward the back of the door compartment, and the rear end surface 2b is pressed by the front end surface 1a of the shutter 1, and the rear part of the shutter 2 is also pushed toward the back of the door pocket, and the above-mentioned engagement piece 22 is separated from the notch hole 12. At this time, the connecting tool 6 rotates as the shutter 2 moves toward the back inside the door pocket (Fig. 16), and the other end of the connecting rod 6c moves slightly through the long hole 6b''. , notch hole 1 of engagement piece 22
The departure from 2 will be smooth. Furthermore, when the shutter 1 is pushed into the door pocket as shown in Fig. 17,
The other end 6b of the connector begins to run along the guide rail 7 of the shutter 2, and when the shutter 1 is completely stored in the door pocket,
The other end 6b moves toward the terminal end of the guide rail 7 (FIG. 2).

In this way, by simply pushing one shutter 1, the other shutter 2 will also be stored in the door pocket, but if you want to pull out the shutters 1 and 2 from this state, push the shutter 1 in the same way.
Just by pulling out the shutter 2, the other shutter 2 can be connected to the connector 6,
Then, by engaging the engaging piece 22 from the middle, it is pulled out from the door pocket. In that case, door block 5a
In addition to the above, it is preferable to provide a door slide block 5b having an inclined surface 5b' as shown in the figure. Further, it is preferable that the outdoor side surface 5a' of the doorstop block 5a is formed at a position that protrudes toward the outdoors beyond the expected width of the shutter.
That is, when the shutter 1 is pulled out from the state shown in FIG.
), by further pulling out the shutter 1, the connecting rod 6c of the connector 6 rotates, and the rear end of the shutter 2 is pulled toward the shutter 1 (Figure 16), and the shutter 1 is moved to the door pocket 4.
When almost all of the engaging piece 22 comes out, the engaging piece 22 will fit into the notch hole 12 (15th
figure). In this case, since the right end of the shutter 2 is in contact with the doorstop block 5a, the shutter 2 is positioned diagonally at an angle t with respect to the imaginary rail extension line L. This angle t is the notch hole 1 of the engagement piece 22.
From the viewpoint of fitting and engagement into 2 and other aspects, good results have been experimentally obtained when the angle is around 22 degrees.

In addition, although the case where there are two shutters has been explained in the example, even if there are more shutters, by interposing a connecting device in the same way, it is possible to operate only one end of the shutter (storm shutter 1 in this example). All shutters can be opened and closed in succession.

The storm door device of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and is constructed by using storm shutters whose front and rear end surfaces are inclined in a predetermined direction, and by interposing a connecting device between adjacent shutters. It is possible to open and close all the shutters in succession by simply opening and closing the shutters, and the engagement between the engagement piece and the notch hole allows the shutters to be connected more reliably. This can be done by simply opening and closing the shutters at one end without the need for additional steps. The engagement piece and the notch hole can be engaged and disengaged very smoothly since the other end of the connecting rod is movably provided at the other end of the connector. As described above, the present invention not only simplifies the operation of opening and closing the shutters, but also has the effect that since the shutters are linked to each other, the shutters remain vertical when closed, and are also useful in preventing theft. It is something.
