Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The folding door door contact member according to the present invention is attached to a folding door for opening and closing an opening such as a storage door, and when the opening is closed, each folding door is configured. The panels are located on the same plane.

(Prior Art) Folding doors as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 are widely used to open and close the opening of a storage door.

In this folding door, one edge of two adjacent panels 1a and 1b is swingably coupled by a hinge 2 to one panel 1a.
The guide rollers 3a and 3b provided at the upper and lower end portions of the other end edge are engaged with guide rails 4a and 4b provided at the upper and lower edges of the opening. The upper and lower end portions of the other end edge of the other panel 1b are pivotally supported on the end portions of the guide rails 4a and 4b by unillustrated pivot shafts, and the guide roller 3 provided on the one panel 1a.
When a and 3b are moved along the guide rails 4a and 4b,
The other panel 1b swings around the pivot.

The main part of the folding door for opening and closing the opening is configured as described above, but in the case of folding doors to be installed in the opening such as a storage room, mirrors 5 and 5 should be attached to the front of each panel 1a, 1b. However, it has been performed conventionally.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of the folding door configured as described above, the following inconvenience occurs.

That is, when the folding door is closed, all the panels 1a and 1b forming the folding door are preferably located on the same plane, but the panels that are swingably coupled to each other by the hinge 2 are provided.
It is difficult to adjust the joint between the adjacent panels 1a and 1b so that the panels 1a and 1b are completely located on the same plane.

In the case of a folding door composed of a normal panel whose surface is covered with a decorative plate or the like, even if the surfaces of the adjacent panels 1a and 1b are slightly displaced from the same plane, the appearance is not so bad, As shown in Fig. 4, in the case of the panels 1a and 1b whose surfaces are covered with the mirrors 5 and 5, even when the panels 1a and 1b are slightly deviated from the same plane, the scenery transferred to the surfaces of the mirrors 5 and 5 is large. By changing, the misalignment between the panels 1a and 1b is exaggerated, and the appearance becomes bad.

The door contact member for folding doors of the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned inconvenience by being configured so that the joint between two adjacent panels can be easily adjusted.

(Means for Solving the Problem) A folding door contact member according to the present invention is provided with swingingly connecting one end edges of two adjacent panels to each other, and is provided at upper and lower end portions of the other end edge of at least one panel. The guide members are attached to the folding doors engaged with the guide rails provided at the upper and lower edges of the opening, and the two panels are located on the same plane when the folding doors are closed.

The folding door door contact member of the present invention as described above is provided with a fixing member fixed to one edge of one of the two panels, and the guiding member when the folding door is closed by the fixing member. It is composed of a screw hole formed in a direction substantially coinciding with the direction of the rail, and a screw screwed into the screw hole and having a tip end facing one edge of the other panel.

(Operation) In the case of the door contact member of the present invention configured as described above, when the folding door is closed, one end of the screw screwed into the screw hole of the fixing member fixed to one edge of one panel. Is abutted against one edge of the other panel to regulate the interval between the edge edges of two adjacent panels.

This distance can be adjusted by changing the amount of the screw protruding from the fixing member, and the angle formed by the two panels when the folding door is closed can be adjusted by changing the distance. By properly adjusting the amount and setting the angle to 180 degrees, it becomes possible to position the two panels on the same plane when the folding door is closed.

(Embodiment) Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a corner piece 6 attached to a corner portion of the panel is used as a fixing member.

This corner piece 6 has a discontinuous portion between the left and right ends of the upper and lower frames 7 and 8 forming the upper and lower sides of each panel 1a, 1b and the upper and lower ends of the vertical frames 9, 9 forming the left and right sides. It is for covering and is fitted in and fixed to the upper and lower openings of the hollow portions 10, 10 of the vertical frames 9, 9.

That is, this corner piece 6 is formed into a support portion 11 that can be inserted into the hollow portion 10 without rattling, and a flange-like shape at the end of the support portion 11 to cover the end opening of the hollow portion 10. It is composed of a cover plate portion 12. The side surface of the support portion 11 has a lightening recess 13 for weight saving and material saving, and the support portion 11 is provided in the hollow portion 10 on the outer peripheral surface of the base end portion (end portion near the cover plate portion 12). Locking ridges 14 and 14 to prevent it from coming off
Are formed respectively. That is, the locking ridges 14, 14
When the support part 11 is pushed into the hollow part 10, the support part
The outer peripheral surface of 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion 10 are elastically crushed.

A screw hole 15 is formed in a part of the support portion 11 of the corner piece 6 thus configured, which is out of the lightening recessed portion 13, and the screw 16 can be screwed into the screw hole 15.

The direction in which the screw holes 15 are formed is such that the corner pieces 6 are fitted and fixed to the upper and lower end portions of the vertical frame 9 and the folding doors are closed to guide the guide rails 4a and 4b. The direction is almost the same as the direction.

Also, on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower end portions of each vertical frame 9, 9, the vertical frame 9,
A circular hole (not shown) is formed at a position where the screw holes 15 of the corner pieces 6 fitted and fixed to the upper and lower end portions of 9 are aligned,
A screw 16 screwed into this screw hole 15 is projected from the outer side surface of each vertical frame 9, 9.

In the case of the folding door door contact member of the present invention configured as described above, when the folding door is closed, the corner pieces fixed to the upper and lower ends of the vertical frame 9 forming one of the rigid sides of the one panel 1a. One end of the screw 16 screwed into the screw hole 15 of 6 is butted against the outer surface of the vertical frame 9 that forms the hard side of the other panel 1b.
As a result, the distance between the outer side surfaces of the vertical frames 9, 9 forming the hard sides of the two adjacent panels 1a, 1b is restricted.

The distance d (see FIG. 4) between the outer surfaces of the vertical frames 9 and 9 can be adjusted by changing the amount of the screw 16 protruding from the supporting portion 11 of the corner piece 6, and the distance d can be adjusted. By changing, the angle θ (FIG. 4) formed by the two panels 1a and 1b when the folding door is closed changes.

Therefore, the amount of protrusion of the screw 16 should be adjusted appropriately to adjust the angle θ.
If it is 180 degrees, when the folding door is closed, the above two panels 1a, 1
It is possible to position b on the same plane.

Such adjustment work can be easily performed by opening the folding door and rotating the screw 16 with a driver. Therefore, even in the case of a folding door constituted by panels 1a and 1b having mirrors 5 and 5 attached to the surfaces thereof, the panels 1a and 1b can be easily and reliably positioned on the same plane when closed. It is possible to improve the appearance when the folding door is closed.

Although the corner piece 6 is used as a fixing member in the above-described embodiment, an independent fixing member is fixed to the vertical frame 9 in addition to the corner piece 6 to adjust the position of each panel 1a, 1b. It is also possible to do.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the door contact member for folding doors of the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it is possible to easily adjust the angle formed by two adjacent panels forming a folding door when closed. It is possible to improve the appearance when the folding door is closed by allowing the two panels to exist on the same plane when the folding door is closed.
