Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a panel screen equipped with a plurality of screen fabrics that are movably suspended and supported along a guide rail. It is an object of the present invention to provide a panel screen with means for interconnecting the screen fabrics for sequential movement.

Particularly, the present invention provides a lower connection mechanism for a panel screen which is convenient when using screen fabric having a certain degree of rigidity.

The panel screen according to the present invention is characterized by attaching a bottom rail to the lower edge of each of a plurality of raw screen fabrics, forming a guide part extending almost the entire length on the side surface of the bottom rail, A connecting device is provided between the bottom rails of the two screen raw fabrics to connect the two, and the connecting device slidably engages with the guide portion of at least one of the bottom rails and stops at the end of the guide portion. The reason is that it was made so that it would be done.

This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a panel screen according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a guide rail, and reference numeral 2 indicates a screen cloth that is movably suspended and supported along the guide rail. A rigid screen support frame 3 is attached to the upper end of each screen fabric, and a runner (not shown) provided at the upper edge runs along the guide rail 1. . A bottom rail 4, which acts as a weight, is attached to the lower edge of each screen cloth. As shown in FIG. 2, a slot 5 is formed in the upper surface of each bottom rail 4 extending over its entire length, and a plate member 6 attached in advance to the lower edge of the screen fabric 2 is passed through the slot 5. Furthermore, by positioning the plate member 6 diagonally, the bottom rail 4 can be easily attached to the lower edge of each screen cloth 2.

A guide groove 7 is formed on the side surface of the bottom rail 4 over substantially its entire length, and both ends thereof are closed by end plates 8. (Figure 1). As shown in FIG. 2, a connector is arranged between the bottom rails of two adjacent screen cloths to connect them.

In the illustrated example, this connector is a connecting cable 9
and runners 10, 10 attached to both ends of it.
Each runner is slidably engaged in the guide groove 7 of the bottom rail. In this embodiment, both ends of the connector slide within respective guide grooves, but one end of the connector may be fixed to the end of one of the bottom rails.

FIG. 3 shows the above-mentioned panel screen opened and each screen fabric stored on the right side of the guide rail. From this state, when the first raw screen cloth 2 is pulled out to the left as shown by the chain line, the runner of the connector that engages with the guide groove 7 of the bottom rail 4 attached to the lower edge of the first screen fabric 2 slides inside the guide groove 7. When the first raw screen fabric 2 is moved and pulled out by almost its width, the runner of the above-mentioned connector hits the end plate 8, and the first raw screen fabric 2 and the next second screen fabric are pulled out. The relative movement of the cloth 2 stops. When the first screen cloth 2 is further pulled out, the movement of the second screen cloth is started along with the movement of the first screen cloth.

When the second screen cloth moves by approximately its width, the third screen cloth is moved in the same way, and in this way, by moving the first screen cloth, a plurality of screen cloths are moved. Move the raw cloth one by one. In this way,
The panel screen is closed as shown in FIG. Conversely, when opening the panel screen,
As the screen cloth is moved, the second, third, and fourth screen cloths are sequentially moved to the right, and the panel screen is moved to the storage position.

As mentioned above, in the panel screen lower connection mechanism according to the present invention, if the screen fabric has a certain degree of rigidity, it will work as a traction mechanism for the panel screen. Furthermore, when using a normal screen fabric, it can be used in conjunction with a conventional upper traction mechanism provided on an upper guide rail to effectively prevent the screen from swaying.
