Moreover, the roof boundary 4 and the window body 9 may be provided, and only the curtain 11 may not be provided.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the invention of claim 1, the single-opening roof border 4 is connected to the main connecting rod 5 and the secondary connecting rod 6 in the opening provided at the appropriate location of the roof R.
By creating a retractable roof that can be opened and closed symmetrically while maintaining a parallel state, firstly, a large amount of sunlight and outside air can be brought into the room, and secondly, when opened, the roof can be opened and closed symmetrically. This has the following effects: the field 4 can be kept in a stable state, and thirdly, the configuration can be made extremely simple.

To explain these effects in detail, openings made at appropriate locations in the roof R allow sunlight and outside air to enter the room.
By providing a roof boundary 4 and opening the roof boundary 4, sunlight can be directly brought into the room from the roof R, and it does not come into contact with the outer wall of the building, and it is a back room without windows etc. It also allows a large amount of sunlight and outside air to be brought in through the ceiling.

Conventionally, a bay window is formed on a roof or the like and sunlight is taken in through the bay window, so it is not possible to form such a large window and only a small amount of sunlight can be taken in.

In the present invention, since the opening formed in the roof R can be made larger than the conventional bay window, it is possible to let in sunlight that far exceeds the lighting capacity of the conventional daylighting window, and it is possible to However, you can still get plenty of sunbathing. It is especially good for the health of sick people and the elderly.

In addition, by providing a single-opening roof boundary 4 at the opening so that it can be opened and closed symmetrically while maintaining a parallel state with the main connecting rod 5 and the secondary connecting rod 6, a substantially parallel state is maintained when opening and closing. Because of this, it can be installed in a stable state even when there is a wind. In particular, since the top surface of the roof R is always facing upward, the ceiling panels on the indoor side will not get sunburned by sunlight.
Also, it has the effect of not causing bleeding due to sudden rain.

Further, since there is only one roof boundary 4, the structure is simple and there is an advantage that construction can be done at low cost.

Next, in the invention of claim 2, the single-opening roof boundary 4 is symmetrically maintained in a parallel state by the main connecting rod 5 and the secondary connecting rod 6 at the opening provided at the appropriate location of the roof R. By providing a retractable roof which is provided with a window body 9 that can be freely opened and closed and is movable approximately parallel to the opening surface below the roof boundary 4, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1, it is possible to absorb outside air while taking in sunlight. Alternatively, rainwater, etc. can be kept out. That is, by keeping the window body 9 in a closed state while the roof area 4 is in an open state, sunlight and natural light (when it is cloudy, raining, etc.) can pass through the window body 9 and can be taken in, and also outside air can be taken in. It can keep out water and rainwater, and only let in sunlight even when the outside air is cold or raining.

Next, in the invention of claim 3, by providing the curtain 11 below the window body 9 in the invention of claim 2, in addition to producing the effect of the invention of claim 2, sunlight is blocked. However, it has various effects such as being able to collect only outside air. That is, by leaving the roof area 4 and the window body 9 open and keeping only the curtain 11 closed, it is possible to block sunlight while letting in only outside air, especially in strong sunlight. During the day, the sunlight can be moderately weakened to provide just the right amount of sunlight.
