FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to balconies.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, as shown in FIG.
There is a balcony provided with a balcony floor 1 projecting from the outer wall of the building and a handrail portion 2 standing from the balcony floor. The wall 4 of the handrail 2 has an opening 4
Is formed for convenience of lighting and ventilation. The opening 4 is provided with a lattice member 5 in consideration of safety and design appearance.

Further, for example, JP-A-57-151742.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. JP-A-2003-264, there is also one in which a large opening is provided to improve the visibility.

[0004]

By the way, a balcony is often used as a place to relax or a place to dry clothes on a sunny day. From this point of view, it can be said that those having good lighting and ventilation are preferable. on the other hand,
Balconies often connect to living spaces such as living rooms. From this aspect, it can be said that it is preferable that the inside of the living room or the like is difficult to see from the outside through the opening.

However, in the conventional balcony as described above, since the opening formed in the wall of the handrail is invariable, the degree of opening of the opening cannot be increased or decreased. It was not possible to effectively use the balcony according to the purpose under the conflicting restrictions.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a balcony which can be effectively used according to the purpose by increasing or decreasing the degree of opening of the opening.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a balcony according to the present invention comprises a balcony floor portion projecting from an outer wall of a building, and a handrail portion provided upright from the balcony floor portion. And at least one opening is formed in the wall of the handrail, and a slide body that opens and closes the opening is provided so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction along the surface of the wall.

[0008]

According to the balcony of the present invention, since the opening formed on the wall of the handrail can be opened and closed by the slide body, the opening can be fully opened on a sunny day. It can be used in an open state with good lighting and ventilation. On the other hand, it is possible to protect the privacy inside the living room by closing the opening.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a balcony according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show a first embodiment,
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a balcony, which is a balcony floor 12 protruding from the outer wall of the building and the balcony floor 1
2 and a handrail portion 13 provided upright.

Six rectangular openings 15 (hereinafter referred to as openings) are formed in the wall 14 of the handrail 13.

The back side of these openings 15 (close to the building)
As shown in FIG. 2, the slide body 17 made of synthetic resin and having substantially the same color as the wall 14 is formed with six openings 16.
Is provided.

The size of the opening 16 of the slide body 17 and the arrangement size thereof are the same as those of the opening 15 of the wall 14. Further, the widths of both edges 18 of the slide body 17 are made slightly longer than the widths of the openings 15, 15 and 16.

As shown in FIG. 3, the slide body 17 is provided on a guide rail 20 extending on the back surface of the handrail rod 19 provided on the handrail portion 13 and the upper surface of the front side edge portion 12a of the balcony floor portion 12. It is guided so that it can slide horizontally along the surface of the wall 14. Reference numeral 21 is a pulley for this slide.

The sliding range of the slide body 17 is such that the opening 15 and the opening 16 are completely aligned with each other and the opening 1
5 and the position at which the opening 16 does not overlap at all.

Next, the handling of the balcony 11 having such a configuration will be described.

First, on a sunny day or the like, the slide body 17 is slid to a position where the opening 15 and the opening 16 are completely aligned. As a result, the opening 15 is fully opened.

Therefore, daylight and ventilation can be maximized, and the balcony 11 can be effectively used for relaxing outdoors and drying laundry.

When there is a possibility that the inside of the building can be seen from the outside, the slide body 17 is slid to a position where the opening 15 and the opening 16 do not overlap at all. As a result, the opening 15 is fully closed. Therefore, privacy inside the living room can be protected. Further, when the wind is too strong, the opening 15
It is also possible to adjust the overlapping portion of the opening 16 and the opening 16 to be small so as to reduce the blowing air.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show the second embodiment.
The figure shows the shape of the opening that has been elaborated.

As shown in FIG. 4, wall 2 of balcony 21
Two openings 23 having the same shape and having an elliptical shape are formed in 2. A slide body 24 shown by a broken line in FIG. 5 is provided on the back side of the opening 23.

The slide body 24 is formed with three openings 25 having the same size and arrangement size as the openings 23. The support structure of the slide body 24 is similar to that of the first embodiment.

When the slide body 24 is slid in the direction of the arrow b shown in FIG. 5 (A), an opening shown by the diagonal line in FIG. 5 (B) appears. On the other hand, when the slide body 24 is slid in the direction of arrow c shown in FIG.
(C) The opening shown by the diagonally shaded line appears. In this way, by making the shape of the opening formed in the wall of the balcony into a circular shape or any other shape that is interesting in terms of design, it is possible to produce a design-like appearance of the balcony.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show a third embodiment.
It shows application of the technology to curved balconies.

Reference numeral 31 is a balcony provided with a curved handrail portion 32. A plurality of openings 34 similar to those of the first embodiment are formed in the wall 33 of the handrail portion 32.

On the back side of these openings 34, there is also a slide body 35 having a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG.
It is provided with a support structure similar to that of the embodiment.

The slide body 35 is integrally molded of a highly flexible synthetic resin and has a plurality of openings 36 having the same size and arrangement size as the openings 34. The space between the openings 36 is narrowed so that the slide body 35 can slide along the curve of the handrail portion 32, as shown by the chain double-dashed line in the figure.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but the appearance of the balcony is improved by designing the shape of the opening of the wall and the opening of the slide body, for example. It may be done.

[0029]

As described above, according to the balcony of the present invention, the opening formed in the wall of the handrail is
As it has a structure that can be opened and closed by the slide body,
On a sunny day or the like, it is possible to make the opening part in an open state such as fully opened for good lighting and ventilation. On the other hand, it is possible to protect the privacy inside the living room by closing the opening. Therefore, it is possible to effectively use the balcony according to the purpose.
