Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Field of application of the invention> This invention moves a partition panel suspended by a hanging runner from a hanging rail provided on a ceiling etc. along the hanging rail, or This relates to a sliding door that can be installed or opened as a partition by storing it at the end.
In particular, the end panels can be opened and closed reliably and easily.

<Background of the invention> Conventionally, when a sliding door is open, a large number of panels are stacked and stored at right angles to the hanging rail in a panel storage section provided at one or both ends of the hanging rail. Keep it
When closing the door, the panels are pulled out one by one along the hanging rail and moved along the hanging rail in a state parallel to the hanging rail to form a partition in the open space. Two examples of such conventional sliding door structures are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

In the structure shown in FIG.
The end of 1 is bifurcated, and the rail portion 11a and 1 are
1b and each panel 12
Two runners (not shown) are provided on the top of the door, and when the door is open, one runner is guided to the rail portion 11a, and the other runner is guided to the rail portion 11a.
1b, the panels are brought into a state perpendicular to the hanging rail 11, and these panels are stored one on top of the other. When closing the door, the panels 12 are pulled out one by one from the storage section, both runners are guided to the hanging rail 11, and the panels are moved along the hanging rail. but,
When all the panels are moved along the suspension rail in this way, a space remains in the storage area. Therefore, an end panel 13 is provided to fill this space, and this is rotatably attached by a pivot 14 or the like, and after all the panels 12 are closed, the end panel 13 is rotated to complete the partition. .

In the structure shown in FIG.
1 is one, and each panel 12 is suspended from the rail 12 by a main runner provided in the center,
Auxiliary runners are attached to the panels on both sides of the main runner, so that in the panel storage position, each panel is suspended by the central main runner, and after the panel is pulled out of the storage position, the panel is parallel to the rail. Rotate the panel to the position and place the auxiliary runner on the rail, thereby moving the panel parallel to the rail. Even in such a structure, the end panel 13 is rotatably provided by a hinge 15 or the like in order to fill the space created after all the panels are pulled out from the storage position.

In a structure with such an end panel,
Sliding doors are difficult to open and close, and rail construction is difficult. In addition, in the structure provided with a fork-shaped storage rail portion as shown in Fig. 6,
The use of end panels that fill a relatively large space does not pose many problems, but in a sliding door that uses a single rail as shown in Figure 7, the width of the end panel is the same as that of the main panel. If the width is more than half of the width of the main panel, only the end panel will protrude from the edge of the main panel when the panel is stored, which not only looks unfavorable but also makes it difficult to store the panel.

<Purpose of the invention> The purpose of the invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in conventional sliding doors, and in particular, to solve the above-mentioned problems in appearance with the sliding door using the single rail, and to solve the problems in the sliding door using the single rail. The purpose is to provide a sliding door that allows convenient storage.

<Summary of the invention> The sliding door according to the invention is a system in which a plurality of partition panels are slidably suspended from a hanging rail provided on a ceiling or the like by a hanging runner, and are moved along the hanging rail. In sliding doors that are opened and closed by An end panel is provided at the end of the panel row to fill the void formed at the end, a suspension runner is provided at the center of the upper end surface of the end panel to be suspended from the suspension rail, and one end is provided at the end of the row of panels. An arm is provided which is pivotally attached to the panel and whose other end is pivotally attached to the wall, ceiling, or floor on the panel storage side of the sliding door to rotate the end panel in accordance with the movement of the panel. More preferably, either one of the pivot joints of the arm is slidable so as to allow the end panel to move in the storage direction (wall direction).

<Embodiment of the invention> FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a sliding door according to the invention, and FIG. 2 shows an example of an end panel opening/closing mechanism thereof. In the figure, 1 is a partition panel, 2
indicates an end panel, 3 indicates a suspension rail, and 4 indicates a suspension runner. As shown in FIG. 2, the end panel 2 is suspended from a suspension rail 3 by a suspension runner 4 provided at the center of the upper end surface. Auxiliary runners 5 are provided on both sides of the hanging runner 4. Further, one end of a guide arm 6 is rotatably provided near the upper and lower end faces of the end panel, and the other end is integrally supported by a door stop 7 so as to be rotatable. Note that the support portion 7a of this door stop 7 has a long groove, and the guide arm 6
Preferably, the other end is slidable relative to the door stop 7 so that the end panel is movable along a hanging rail in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, in order to store and open the partition panel from the installed state, first move the end panel from the state shown in Fig. 1 toward the wall surface as shown in Figs. 3 to 5. (in the direction of arrow A), the mating portion between the end panel 2 and the partition panel 1 is released, and the end panel 2 becomes rotatable around the hanging runner 4. In this state, the end panel 2
If the end panel 2 is rotated in the direction of arrow B shown in Fig. 5, the end panel 2 will be rotated and automatically moved toward the wall by the action of the guide arm 6 (see Fig. 5). If the pivot point of the arm 6 is shifted outward from the center line of the rail, the end panel 2 will move in the direction of arrow A and will automatically move in the direction of arrow B.
It becomes possible to change the rotational force to . (8th
(See figure) <Effects of the invention> As mentioned above, in the sliding door according to the invention, the end panel can be hung from the rail using a hanging runner at the center and rotated, allowing for a gap twice as large as that of the conventional end panel. The end panels can be closed off, and the end panels do not protrude from other partition panels. Furthermore, since a guide arm is attached to the end panel, its movement is constant and operation is easy.

Furthermore, if the pivot portion of the guide arm is made slidable, the mating portions of each panel will function as a lock to restrict rotation, and a complicated locking mechanism will not be required.
