(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Folding doors are connected or separated as needed. [Structure] The folding doors 6 adjacent to each other can be connected and separated by a flexible connecting piece 17.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a folding door device suitable as a door for clothes storage, a partition wall that can be opened and closed, and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The following is known as a conventional folding door device of this type. That is, it has a frame body having a pair of upper and lower guide rails and a pair of left and right vertical frame members, and at least two folding doors guided by the upper and lower guide rails so as to be foldable. It is known that the door has two folding door components which are interconnected by a hinge.

[0003]

[Background of the invention]

 In the conventional folding door device, the folding doors are not connected to each other. It is possible to open and move each folding door in either left or right direction (open and move left or right), that is, open the required sheet on the left side of the folding door to the left side and move the rest to the right side. It is a consideration to be able to do it. However, even for folding doors that can be opened and moved in the same direction, the doors must be opened and moved one by one, which is a troublesome task. On the contrary, if all the folding doors are connected, the above-mentioned advantage of the conventional folding doors is lost, which causes another drawback.

[0004]

[Means for eliminating the above drawbacks]

 This invention adopts the following means in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. In this invention, folding doors adjacent to each other can be connected and separated by a flexible connecting piece.

[0005]

Operation of the Invention This invention has the following operations. The folding doors can be connected or separated as needed.

[0006]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. The folding door device 1 has a frame body 5 composed of a pair of left and right vertical frame members 2 and a pair of upper and lower guide rails 3 and 4 provided on the upper and lower ends of these vertical frame members 2. At least two folding doors 6 are guided on the frame body 5 so as to be openable and closable as follows. That is, the folding door 6 has a pair of folding door constituting members 8 connected by required hinges 7, and the upper and left side portions of the upper end of the folding door 6, that is, the left folding door constituting member 8 A bracket 10 is horizontally rotatably provided by a central axis with its axis centered vertically at the upper left side and the upper right side of the right fold door structure member 8, and a pair of left and right rollers 11 is provided to each of the brackets 10. The rollers 11 are rotatably provided and are guided by the upper guide rail 3. The left and right lower ends of the folding door 6, that is, the left end of the left folding door component member 8 and the right end of the right folding door component member 8 are concentric with the axis of the central axis. In this way, the pins 15 are provided so as to project downward, and these pins 15 are guided in the grooves of the lower guide rail 4.

The folding doors 6 adjacent to each other are connectable and separable by a required number of flexible connecting pieces 17. That is, one end of the flexible connecting piece 17 is fixed to the folding door 6, and the other end of the flexible coupling piece 17 can be connected to and separated from the other folding door 6 by a known snap fastener 18 commonly used for clothes and the like. When the end of the flexible connecting piece 17 on the side of the snap fastener 18 is not connected to the folding door 6, the end of the flexible connecting piece 17 is fixed to one fitting member of the snap fastener 18 provided on the fixed side folding door 6. Has been done. The left and right lengths of the flexible connecting pieces 17 are set to allow the folding door constituting members 8 connected by the flexible connecting pieces 17 to bend.

A modified example 1 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the flexible connecting piece 17 is connected to the folding doors 6 by a surface joint fastener 19 so as to be connectable and separable. Modification 2 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the flexible connecting piece 17 has a length that extends above and below the folding door 6, and is divided into two parts on the left and right to be separated into left and right parts by a known slide fastener 20 commonly used for clothes and the like. It can be connected and separated.

[Effect of the device]

 The present invention has the following effects due to the above-described configuration. It is convenient because the folding doors can be connected or separated as needed.
