Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a device for preventing drooping of an opening/closing body, which is attached to an opening of a building and is capable of opening the entire opening.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when attempting to open the entire width of an opening in a building, it was necessary to make the shoji project outside the side edge of the opening, so a fixed frame for guiding the shoji was extended to the outside of the building. However, the external appearance was damaged, and the installation work required a lot of labor and expense, so it could not be provided at a low price. As a means to solve this problem, the present applicant has proposed a device that moves the opening/closing body incorporating the shoji laterally, but if the frame is assembled by connecting vertical members to the left and right ends of the vertically movable frame of the opening/closing body, When opening or closing, one of the vertical members may cross the opening, or depending on the opening/closing position, may obstruct the view of the opening.
It becomes unseemly. On the other hand, if this is removed, the weight of the movable upper frame will cause the end portion to sag, making the opening and closing body run unsmoothly and possibly causing problems.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Therefore, this invention further improves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and the previous proposal. The purpose is to obtain a device that is

(Means for solving the problem) As a means to achieve this, this invention moves in the left and right direction along the upper and lower guide frames provided above and below the opening of the building, and A movable upper and lower frame that can protrude, and the protruding sides of the movable upper frame and the movable lower frame are connected by a vertical member to form a U-shape, and the longitudinal side of this movable upper and lower frame is connected between the movable upper and lower frames. In an opening/closing body incorporating a shoji that runs in the direction, a locking body is attached to the end opposite to the protruding side of the movable upper frame, and the locking body is attached to both sides of the lower edge formed on the guide upper frame. The horizontal protrusion is slidably engaged with a downwardly open channel-shaped guide groove provided facing inward.

(Example) An example of a specific configuration of this invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail below.

This embodiment shows the case of an opening in a building facing outdoors, and shows an opening/closing body that moves to the right when viewed from the indoor side.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a sash frame, which is externally attached around the outdoor side of an opening A of a building, and is composed of upper and lower sash frames 2 and 3 and left and right vertical frames 4 and 5. The sash upper frame 2 has an extending guide upper frame 2a formed with a groove rail 6 that opens downward in order to support the opening/closing body on the outside, and horizontal protrusions 7, 7 are provided on both upper and lower sides of the groove rail 6 to face each other. Channel-shaped guide grooves 8, 8 are formed in a protruding manner and are open downward on both sides, while a guide lower frame 3a extending from the sash lower frame 3 has a protruding rail 9 for supporting the opening/closing body on the outside. , and further left vertical frame 4
An auxiliary vertical frame 10 is attached to the outside of the opening/closing body to which the opening/closing body comes into contact. Reference numeral 11 denotes an opening/closing body used as a shutter, which is composed of a movable upper frame 12, a movable lower frame 13, a fixed panel 14 which is a vertical member, and a shoji 17 having the same width as the fixed panel 14.
4 is attached to the right half of the movable upper and lower frames 12 and 13 when viewed from the indoor side, and the downward protrusion 1 of the movable upper frame 12
5 and a protruding rail 16 provided on the movable lower frame 13, a shoji 17 is slidably assembled. 18 is a locking body, and engagement pieces 19, 19 are provided on both sides of the upper end.
It is formed in a shape with a mounting seat plate 20 protruding from the lower end thereof, and is fixed to the upper surface of the left end portion of the movable upper frame 12 of the opening/closing body 11 so as to be clamped with a contact plate 21 from below. The opening/closing body 11 constructed in this way has a movable upper frame 12 connected to a groove rail 6 formed in the guide upper frame 2a.
At the same time, the engaging pieces 19, 19 of the locking body 18
are fitted into the guide grooves 8, 8 and locked to the horizontal protrusions 7, 7, and on the other hand, the door wheel 22 provided on the movable lower frame 13 is fitted onto the rail 9 protruding from the guide lower frame 3a to complete the opening/closing body. 11 is slidably assembled.

A stopper 23 is provided in a protruding manner at the center of the movable upper frame 12 of the opening/closing body 11, and comes into contact with the upper frame cap 24 of the guide upper frame 2a to regulate the amount of protrusion of the opening/closing body 11. A lower stile cap 25 is attached to the right end of the movable lower frame 13 of the opening/closing body 11, and comes into contact with the door roller housing of the door roller 22 provided on the guide lower frame 3a to restrict the left movement position of the opening/closing body 11.

With this structure, when closing the opening A of the building, the opening/closing body 11 is moved to the left to close the right half of the opening A with the fixed panel 14, but at the time of this movement, Movable lower frame 13 of opening/closing body 11
runs on the rail 9 of the guide lower frame 3a by means of a door roller 22, the movable upper frame 12 slides within the groove rail 6 of the guide upper frame 2a, and the locking body 18 protruding from the movable upper frame 12 are the horizontal protrusions 7, 7 in the guide groove 8
The movable upper frame 12 slides while being locked with the engaging pieces 19, 19, and the movable upper frame 12 moves without hanging down. Next, the shoji 17 is pulled out to the left to close the left half of the opening A, thereby closing the entire width of the opening A of the building. Moreover, when opening the opening A of the building, it is necessary to move the shoji 17 to the right so that it overlaps the fixed panel 14, contrary to the above, and then move the opening/closing body 11 to the right.

In the above embodiments, the opening of the building faces the outdoors, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to an opening inside a room, such as a boundary between two rooms or a partition. can do.

In addition, the vertical member in the above embodiment was a fixed panel that closed the opening, but this invention is not limited to this, and the vertical member is simply used as a connecting member between the movable upper and lower frames. Attached to the end,
Two shoji screens may be installed in a sliding manner between the movable upper and lower frames.

(Effects of the invention) As described above in detail with respect to the embodiment, this invention attaches a locking body to the tip of the movable upper frame of the opening/closing body,
Since this slides by engaging with the guide groove in the upper guide frame, the movable upper frame will sag due to its weight, and when the opening/closing body moves, it will come off the guide upper frame and the opening/closing operation will not be possible. To prevent such things,
The opening/closing body can be moved easily and smoothly. Furthermore, the shoji screen built into the opening/closing body has a simple structure and has various excellent effects such as smooth opening and closing since the movable upper frame does not droop.
