The chain / sprocket mesh separating device 28 bends and transfers the chain 20 between the upper ends of the vertical guide rails 3 and the front ends of the support rails 29, and includes an outer chain release plate 28A and an inner chain release plate 28B. It consists of These chain release plates 28A and 28B form a chain bending guide path 28C between them. In this chain bending guide path 28C, as shown in the thirteenth illustration, the outside of the inner and outer link plates 21 and 22 of the chain 20 is in sliding contact with the outer chain separating plate 28A, and the bush 23 of the chain 20 is on the opposite side thereof. The inner chain release plate 28B is slidably contacted. As a result, the chain 20 is smoothly bent and guided. The rear side of the support rail 29, which is separated from the chain / sprocket mesh separating device 28, gradually inclines downward, and the upper roller 25 of the chain 20 that has passed through the chain bending guide path 28C engages and rolls. The panels 5 are suspended and held in a parallel folded state. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the support rail 29 includes a groove bottom portion 29a and both side wall portions 29b and 29c on both sides of the groove bottom portion 29a, and one side wall portion 29b thereof.

One driving sprocket 37 is fitted and coupled to the portion. Further, one of the small-diameter rotary shaft portions 33 of the rotary shaft 33 is
One driven sprocket 38 positioned corresponding to the driving sprocket 37 is fitted and coupled to the outer end of b. An endless chain 39 for power transmission is meshed and wound around the main driving sprocket 37 and the driven sprocket 38. Therefore, when the switch 37 is rotationally activated in either forward or reverse direction, the rotational output thereof is transmitted to the main sprocket 37 → endless chain 39 → driven sprocket 38 → rotary shaft 33. As a result, the panel raising / lowering drive system sprockets 31 and 32 on both sides of the rotary shaft 33 are driven to be synchronously rotated integrally. In addition, in the lower part of the box 2 shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, a lower rail 40 for panel steadying is arranged parallel to the support rail 29. The lower rail 40 has a panel guide portion 41 whose front end side is connected to each vertical guide rail 3 on the inlet side of the box 2 and which is inclined in the same direction corresponding to the chain bending guide path 28C. Here, the upper roller 25 of the panel 5 is connected to the support rail 2

Each of the panels 5 is moved while being maintained in a vertical posture, so that each of the panels 5 is prevented from swinging. Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. Since the upper roller 25 of each panel 5 is engaged and supported on the support rail 29 in the box 2 and the lower roller 26 is engaged with the lower surface of the lower rail 40, each panel 5 is folded in parallel. In the stored state in which it is suspended and held by the switch 36
Is rotationally activated in the shutter closing direction, the rotary shaft 33 is rotationally driven through the output sprocket 37, the endless chain 39, and the driven sprocket 38, respectively. Then, the left and right panel lifting drive system sprockets 31 and 32 rotate integrally with the rotary shaft 33,
The chain 20, which is held between the support rail 29 and the lower rail 40 and connects the panels 5 to each other, is extended to the vertical guide rails 3 from above. As a result, the panels 5 are sequentially lowered and extended to the position where the openings such as the windows between the vertical guide rails 3 are closed, and the shutter is used. When the opening / closing switch 36 is reversely rotated and started from such a shutter use state, the rotation output thereof is reversely driven to rotate the rotation shaft 33 by the power transmission in the same manner as in the case where the shutter is closed. Left and right panel lifting drive system sprockets 31, 32 that rotate integrally with the shaft 33
The chain 20 that meshes with the ascends the vertical guide rail 3 and enters the box 2. In this case, the upper roller 25 of each panel 5 is engaged and transferred onto the support rail 29 via the chain bending guide path 28C of the chain / sprocket mesh separating device 28. At the same time, the lower roller 26 of each panel 5 engages with the lower surface of the lower rail 40 via the panel guide portion 41 of the lower rail 40 and moves. As a result, the swing of each panel 5 is prevented, and each panel 5 is sequentially stored in the folding suspended state in the box 2 by moving onto the support rail 29.
