Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a moving wall from being inclined with respect to a common hanger rail by boring through the support body freely rotated by a slinging shaft and through a wheel receiving member receiving the support body respective shaft holes for receiving a wheel, and connecting the support body and the wheel receiving member to each other by the wheel. CONSTITUTION:A device for adjusting movement of a moving wall is formed by a support body 1 having a freely rotatable slinging shaft 2, and a wheel receiving member 4. The support body 1 is formed as one having U-shaped cross section and has a shaft hole 3 bored therethrough. The wheel receiving member 4 is in the form of a T having a wall 6 perpendicular to a moving wall W and has an elliptical long hole 5 bored therethrough in the cross direction thereof and is installed on the moving wall W in such a manner as being freely rotated. The support body 1 and the wheel receiving member 4 are connected to each other by insertion of a wheel 7 in the shaft hole 3 and a wheel shaft 8 is passed through the wheel 7. The support body 1 and the wheel receiving member 4 are thus connected to each other by passing of one wheel 7 through one part of the long hole 5, and so the moving wall W is prevented from being inclined.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention enables a hanging shaft called a runner to be moved in any direction, thereby preventing tilting of a moving wall and simplifying the structure. This invention relates to a moving wall adjustment device.

<Conventional technology and its problems> In general, in art exhibition halls, conference rooms, wedding halls, etc., it would be possible to change the partitions of the room depending on the type, form, atmosphere, etc. Preferably, this requirement led to the creation of a moving wall. This movable wall is suspended from the ceiling by hanging shafts suspended by two or more suspension wheels called runners that run on traveling rails installed on the ceiling (more precisely, on the underfloor surface of the floor directly above).

However, when moving this movable wall along a hanger rail, when moving on one common hanger rail, the distance between the two runners is basically always constant, but for example, when the moving wall is moved in parallel Even when traveling while suspended from two hanger rails, when you push this moving wall with your hand, the point of force is not always on the center of gravity of the moving wall, and in fact, it is overwhelmingly not the center of gravity. Therefore, either the left or right side of the movable wall may be tilted in advance. Therefore, if the runner is fixed to the movable wall, the movable wall cannot be moved. This means that it is not easy to change direction along the hanger rails that are arranged vertically and horizontally like the line of the base, so usually at least one runner changes position on the moving wall. The arrangement was such that the spacing between both runners could be changed.

For example, as a device having such a structure,
There was a moving wall adjustment device as shown in Japanese Patent No. 16462, but this device had only a few on the left and right (one on each side,
It is made up of a pair of two wheels. These left and right wheels are made to run while being in pressure contact with the lower surface of the guide rail installed at the top end of the movable wall, but unless the left and right wheels are in horizontal contact with the guide rail, , the verticality of the moving wall is not maintained, which means that it tilts and becomes extremely ugly. Therefore, when installing the wheels, extremely high precision is required for the axles and guide rails of the wheels, and skill is required for this work. In addition, these wheels require not only two pairs, one on each side, but actually four pairs in succession (eight in total) (to distribute the load), which makes assembly even more complex. It is being done. In addition, in a device equipped with such wheels, there is the added complexity of having to provide a long hole in the guide rail to enable the movement of the moving wall adjustment device, and furthermore, this long hole is also difficult to install. It had to be straight, and the shape of the long hole had to be highly precise, but the biggest problem was that it required a guide rail.

In addition, as a solution to some of these complications, a method such as that shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-98579 has been proposed, but this is a one-point support system using a pulley-like guide. Therefore, in that sense, even if the requirement for precision in that part is relaxed compared to the above-mentioned left and right support, the mechanism is extremely complex and the fundamental problem has not been solved. Ta.

This is probably the reason why this product has not been put into practical use.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor connects hanging shafts and drills shaft holes in both sides of a support body formed into a U-shaped cross section. A wheel support member is disposed in the U-shaped space, and a long hole for inserting the wheel is laterally bored in the wheel support member, and the wheel is disposed in the shaft hole of the support body. supported by a fixed axle,
In addition, the wheel support member is fixed to the movable wall, and the support by the wheel is used as one point, and the conventionally required guide rail and furthermore, the drilling of long holes for the guide rail, etc.
Therefore, we developed a moving wall adjustment device (see Utility Model Application Publication No. 135767/1983) that has a simple structure and can accommodate changes in the width of the running rail. Since the wheel support member was fixed to the moving wall as described above, the runner had a structure that could move in the longitudinal direction of the moving wall but could not move in the thickness direction or diagonal direction. It was. This point is discussed in the above-mentioned Utility Model Publication No. 59-16462 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5
8-98579 is also the same, but if the runner cannot move in the thickness direction of the movable wall in this way, the problem arises that the following requirements cannot be met. In other words, when storing a movable wall, it may be stored in an independent storage room or on the wall of a fixed wall in a room. In order to secure a large space in the room after storage, it is necessary to make the movable wall closely contact the wall surface of the fixed wall.However, to do this, the hanger rail must be placed along the wall surface of the fixed wall. In this case, when the movable wall is moved along the hanger rail, one side of the movable wall will come into contact with the fixed wall. This will cause damage to the contact surfaces on both sides.To avoid this,
A hanger rail is provided so that the wall surface of the fixed wall and the movable wall do not come into contact with each other, and after the movable wall is moved along the hanger rail, at the storage position,
Although it is perpendicular to the hanger rail, it is sufficient if it can be moved laterally to the wall surface of the fixed wall.

These things are the same even when this movable wall is used as a sound insulating door.In other words, even if this sound insulating door is used, it must be tightly attached to the frontage, but in this case also, the movable wall must be used as a sound insulating door. It is preferable to move it in parallel to the frontage without touching the wall surface of the fixed wall, and then move it laterally in the direction of the frontage when it reaches the front of the frontage.

Furthermore, the above requirement cannot be met unless the runner is made movable not only in the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction of the movable wall, but also in the diagonal direction, which can be said to be midway between the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction. This cannot be said to be a sufficient response.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, the movable wall adjustment device according to the present invention connects rotatable hanging shafts and has shaft holes bored in both sides of a support body formed into a U-shaped cross section. A wheel receiving member is disposed in the U-shaped space of this support, and a long hole for inserting the wheel is laterally bored in this wheel receiving member, and the wheel is inserted into the support. The wheel support member is supported by an axle disposed in an axle hole, and the wheel support member is rotatably disposed on the movable wall, or the shape of the support body and the wheel support member and the hole for the wheel bored therein are supported. Change the direction of movement of the runner by changing its shape, etc.
This allows it to be freely adjusted in relation to the hanger rail.

Embodiment Example I> This embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 3 is a shaft hole bored in both side walls of this support body 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes a wheel support member formed in a T-shaped cross section (not limited to this shape), and this wheel support member 4 is arranged to be rotatable with respect to the movable wall W. 5
is a long hole bored in the vertical wall 6 of this wheel support member 4,
The longer diameter (long axis) of this elongated hole 5 is formed to a length that corresponds to the change in the width of the hanger rail.

7 is a wheel inserted into this elongated hole 5 and formed into a cylindrical shape;
Reference numeral 8 denotes an axle that is inserted through the wheel 7 and supports the wheel 7. Both ends of the axle 8 are engaged with shaft holes 3 bored in the support 1, thereby connecting the support 1 and the wheel support member 4. Note that one movable wall W is normally suspended by two hanging shafts, but one of the hanging shafts is not shown in the drawings shown as this example, but It is directly connected to the wall (note that what is shown in this example may be provided on both sides).

(1)) However, when moving parallel hanger rails in a straight line, it is no different from the conventional one, but during movement,
The movable wall W is tilted (equally, the interval between the two hanging shafts also changes, but in this case, the wheel 7 does not change its relative position in relation to the shaft hole 3 of the support 1, and The wheel support member 4 is also disposed at the upper end of the movable wall W so that it can rotate freely but does not change its position, so the wheel support member 4 also does not change its position. Since the provided elongated hole 5 is formed to be long in the lateral direction, a phenomenon occurs in which the wheel support member 4 moves based on the axle 8 and the wheel 7. In other words, when the hanging shaft 2 moves with the change in the width of the hanger rail, the support 1 also moves in the long hole in relation to the moving wall W. It will move within the range of the long axis of 5.

<Example ■> To describe this example based on FIG. 5, 1° is a support formed in a T-shaped cross section (not limited to this shape); It is rotatably arranged on the movable wall W. 3° is a perfect circular shaft hole bored in the vertical wall 6′ of this support 1′, and this shaft hole 3′ is the central part of the axle 8 that supports two wheels 7 at both ends. It is for engaging. 4° is a wheel support member which connects the rotatable hanging shaft 2 and is formed into a U-shaped cross section, and 5° is a long hole bored in both side walls of this wheel support member 4°. The axle 7 is inserted into this long hole 5°, and the longer diameter (long axis) of the long hole 5° is formed to a length corresponding to the change in the width of the hanger rail. .

According to this, although the axle 7 does not change its position relative to the support 1°, it does change its position relative to the wheel support member 4′, so that the same phenomenon as in Example I results. will be presented.

<Example m> This example will be described based on FIG.
It is arranged so that it can rotate freely.

Reference numeral 3 is a circular shaft hole bored in both side walls of the support 1°, and this shaft hole 3° is for engaging both ends of the axle 8 that supports the wheel 7. be. 4° is a wheel support member that connects the rotatable hanging shaft 2 and is formed into a T-shaped cross section (not limited to this shape), and 5′ is a vertical wall 6 of this wheel support member 4°. It is a long hole drilled at °. The axle 7 is inserted into this long hole 5°, and the longer diameter (long axis) of the long hole 5° is formed to a length corresponding to the change in the width of the hanger rail. .

Due to this, the axle 7 does not change its position with respect to the support 1 degree, but the position changes with respect to the wheel support member 4 and the support 1, so the effect is the same as that of the example construction. This will result in the following phenomenon.

<Example rv> This example will be described based on FIG. 3' is a circular shaft hole bored in the 1° vertical wall 6' of this support. This shaft hole 3° is for engaging the center portion of an axle 8 that supports two wheels 7 at both ends. 4° is a wheel receiving member formed into a U-shaped cross section and rotatably disposed on the movable wall W, and 5° is a long hole bored in both side walls of this wheel receiving member 4°. The axle 7 is inserted into this elongated hole 5'', and the longer diameter (long axis) of the elongated hole 5'' is formed to a length that corresponds to the change in the width of the hanger rail. .

However, even in this case, the axle 7 does not change its position relative to the support 1゜, but it does change its position relative to the wheel support member 4°, so the effect is the same as that of the other embodiments. This will result in a phenomenon.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the movable wall adjustment device according to the present invention, rotatable hanging shafts are connected and shaft holes are bored in both sides of the support body formed in a U-shaped cross section. A wheel receiving member is disposed in the U-shaped space of the support, and a long hole for inserting the wheel is laterally bored in the wheel receiving member.
The wheel is supported by an axle disposed in the shaft hole of the support body, and the wheel support member is rotatably disposed on the movable wall, or the shape of the support body and the wheel support member and the holes formed therein are By changing the shape of the holes for the wheels, etc., the direction of movement of the runner can be freely controlled in relation to the hanger rail, and it is possible to directly support the load of the moving wall. This means that one long hole provided in the wheel support member is made with one wheel, so even though that part is not formed with particularly high precision, there is no tilting of the moving wall, and the structure is extremely simplified. Of course, the production is
It has various effects such as easy maintenance and inspection.
