However, in the case of such a window 1, the shoji 4 is fixed in a rotated state of about 90 degrees, so even if the shoji 4 is protruded either indoors or outdoors, it does not give a completely open feeling. This is difficult to obtain, and the operation to fully open it is complicated, and the length, which is almost equivalent to the length of a single shoji screen, protrudes from the wall surface at an approximately right angle.
Even during rotation, the shoji 4 protrudes significantly outside the room, posing a danger to people and objects, and causing problems in that the space near the window cannot be used effectively. Furthermore, the above-mentioned window 1 is constructed by means of guide bodies 10, 10 which are slidably inserted into the grooves 2a, 3a of the rail bodies 2, 3 and the grooves 5a, 6a of the horizontal frames 5, 6. , the upper and lower guide bodies 10, 1
There was a problem that if the 0 position shifted in the horizontal direction, the shoji 4 could not be rotated.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was devised by focusing on these conventional problems, and uses a unique method in which the shoji is opened and closed while being guided by a guiding body fixed to the vertical frame of the opening frame. , a shoji that provides a sense of openness, eliminates the danger of an open shoji, makes effective use of the space near the window, and allows for smooth opening and closing operations at all times. The purpose is to provide switchgear.

(Structure of the invention) The structure of the shoji opening/closing device according to this invention is that a guide body for rotatably holding the shoji is fixed at opposing positions on the upper end sides of a pair of vertical frames that are in a mutually facing relationship with each other in the opening frame. , the guide body is slidably engaged with a guide groove formed in the longitudinal direction of the vertical stile of the shoji, and a locking tool is provided on the lower end side of the indoor side facing surface of the vertical stile, It is characterized in that a receiver is provided on the upper end side of the vertical frame in a state of protruding toward the indoor side and engages with the locking tool when the shoji is pushed upward toward the indoor side and its upper end is projected, and the guide For example, the body may have a structure in which a member that engages with the guide groove is rotatably supported, or a rotating shaft that engages with the guide groove.

Note that the guide body 33, the locking tool 40, and the receiving tool 41 are mounted symmetrically on both sides of the shoji 20.

Next, the operation of the shoji opening/closing device will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG. 12, the shoji 20 is rotated around the shaft 36 of the guide body 33 by pushing the lower end toward the outdoors (to the left in FIG. 12), and is brought into the open state. Become. At this time, slider 37
Since the stopper 45 is in contact with the upper end, the shoji 20 will not fall, and by providing the fixing rod 44 between the lower frame 22 and the lower stile 25, it will be possible to keep only the lower side open ( The state shown by the virtual line in FIG. 12) can be maintained.

Next, when fully opening the shoji 20, when the lower end of the shoji 20 that has been pushed outdoors is pushed up, the shoji 20 moves upward indoors due to the engagement and sliding between the slider 37 and the guide groove 26a. The shoji 20 is supported in an oblique state by being guided so that its upper end protrudes and the locking portion 40a of the locking tool 40 is locked to the receiving rod 41b of the receiving tool 41.

In other words, the supported shoji 20 is pushed up toward the ceiling on the aisle side as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Since it is moved upward, the shoji 20 does not protrude into the passageway near the window and does not get in the way of people or goods.

Furthermore, the guide body 33 is connected to the fixture 35 and the slider 3.
For example, a rotating shaft that slidably engages with the guide groove 26a is fixed to the vertical frame, and the shoji 20 can be rotated and slid by this rotating shaft. It is also possible to have a configuration in which it is held like this.

In addition, in the above example, the case where the shoji opening/closing device was applied to the window part of a sunroom was explained, but it is of course possible to apply the shoji opening/closing device to a normal sash frame installed in the opening of a building. It is.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, according to the shoji opening/closing device of this invention, the shoji is rotatably held at opposing positions on the upper end side of a pair of vertical frames that are in a relative relationship with each other in the opening frame. A guide body is fixedly installed, and the guide body is slidably engaged with a guide groove formed in the longitudinal direction of the vertical stile of the shoji, and the guide body is slidably engaged with the lower end side of the indoor facing surface of the vertical stile. A locking tool is provided, and a receiving tool is provided on the upper end side of the vertical frame to engage with the locking tool when the shoji is pushed upward toward the indoor side and its upper end projects. Therefore, when the shoji is pushed up and fully opened, the majority of the shoji can be pushed away and held above the opening frame on the indoor side, providing a sense of openness that was not previously possible. I can do it. In addition, since the amount of the window protruding indoors and outdoors is small when it is opened and closed, it does not require much space, making it possible to effectively utilize the space near the window and eliminating danger to people and objects. Furthermore, since the operation from any opening angle to the fully open state can be continuously operated by rotating the guide body and sliding in the guide groove, opening and closing operations are easy and smooth. It has excellent effects such as being able to appropriately select the opening area at a predetermined opening position even when the opening is not pushed up.
