JPH0711840A - Threshold - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve safety and reduce costs by providing, when a threshold is provided between floors having different levels, an inclined surface on the upper surface of the threshold. CONSTITUTION:When a threshold 10 is provided between floors 2 and 4 having different levels, an upper side surface 14 is inclined upwardly toward the side of a floor surface 4 having higher level and inclined downwardly toward a floor surface 2 having lower level. Next, if required, a groove is provided on the surface 14 for sliding a paper-sliding door in the longitudinal direction thereof so that fittings such as paper-sliding door are fitted into the groove. As a result, stumbling at the threshold can be avoided, outward appearance can be improved, and further since another member is not required, costs can be reduced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sill for opening sliding doors (shoji, doors, sliding doors, sliding doors, etc.) and hinged doors laid on a doorway having a step between floors or a room partition. .

[0002]

Conventionally, this type of sill has been provided between a high tatami room and a low plank Western-style room or corridor. Then, the upper surface of the tatami mat and the flat sill were flush with each other (at the same height), and the sill and the upper surface of the board were stepped.

[0003] In order to eliminate this step difference
No. 0837 discloses an example of means for mounting the step difference correction inclined plate on the outside plate covering separately from the sill.

[0004]

However, since a separate part for eliminating the step is required and it has to be attached to the outside of the sill, there is a problem that it protrudes from the fitting and is unsatisfactory and looks bad. .

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a threshold that solves these problems.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention is provided between floors having steps, and the upper surface of the cross member is inclined higher on the high floor side and lower on the lower floor side. The threshold is formed by letting it be formed.

[0007]

In the present invention, since the upper surface of the sill itself is inclined, there is little danger of tripping without a sharp step even when kicked up from a low floor surface, giving a sense of unity from a fitting without traveling, and it looks good, No increase in parts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings showing preferred embodiments.

There are various kinds of floor surfaces with steps such as floor surfaces of comrades who are boarded. Here, the case of the floor surface which is generally higher than the board floor is shown in FIG.
2 and FIG.

Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a board covering for a corridor or a Western-style room, and is made of solid wood or plywood using a fine material on the surface. The tatami mat, which is the floor surface 4 of the tatami 3 is higher than the floor surface 2 of the planking 1.

Below the tatami mat 3, a tatami mat floor 5 made of plywood or a plate material is stretched, and a sill 10 is provided between the floor surfaces 2 and 4.

The sill 10 is composed of a cross member 11 having a bottom surface 12 and both side surfaces 13 at right angles to each other, and an upper surface 14 is formed by inclining the high floor surface 4 side to be high and the low floor surface 2 side to be low. ing. The upper side of the upper surface 14 is at the same height as the floor surface 4 which is a tatami mat, and the lower side of the upper surface 14 is at the same height as the floor surface 2. However, it goes without saying that the lower side may be set at a height between the floor surface 2 and the floor surface 4 to be inclined.
Further, each part of the upper surface 14 partitioned by the grooves 15 and 16 may be formed in parallel with the floor surface 2 and inclined stepwise as a whole.

The lower surface such as a hinged door or a hanging door (not shown) faces the upper surface 14 which is the inclined surface.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. The upper surface 14 of the cross member 11 is provided with grooves 15 and 16 for making shoji (not shown) and the like at the same bottom position. The depth of the groove 15 is deeper than the depth of the groove 16, and the heights of both walls of the grooves 15 and 16 are different, and the tatami 3 side is higher.

No matter which doors, shoji doors, sliding doors, etc., which are not shown, are fitted in any of the grooves 15, 16, the grooves of the not shown kamoi are also made to be the same size by making those deeper on the tatami 3 side. It is made so that it does not come off when freshly opened.

The sill 10 whose upper surface 14 has an inclination as described above.
, When it is installed between the floors 2 and 4 with steps,
There is no stumbling from the high side to the low side and no stumbling from the low floor 2 to the high floor 4. Further, in a wheelchair or the like, a sharp step is eliminated or reduced, and the vehicle can pass through an inclined surface.

Further, since the threshold is eliminated by the threshold 10 itself, it does not become a separate member, does not protrude from the fitting, has a good appearance, and does not increase the number of members.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the sill is provided on both floor surfaces having a step, and since the sill is corrected by forming an inclined surface on the upper surface of the sill, the sill is corrected. It doesn't hurt when it goes through, it doesn't stick out of the fittings, and it looks good. Furthermore, since there is no increase in parts,
There is no man-hours required for member management and man-hours required for assembly, resulting in a great economic effect.
