By changing the form of the rail 10 in various ways, an opening / closing device adapted to various openings can be obtained, which is also one of the features of the present invention. It is a feature of the opening / closing device of the present invention that various opening portions can be formed in this way according to the form in which the first rail 10 and the second rail 11 are installed. This is based on the engagement relationship of the panel rails 4, that is, the connection relationship between the panels 3 and 3.

Figures 10a-c show both panels 3 on the first rail 10 with respect to each other 3
Among n and 3n _{+ 1} , it represents a process in which the leading panel 3n starts to bend. When mounted on the first rail 10, the sub-runner 7 of the panel 3n ₊₁ is located above the extension 5, and the sliding contact surfaces 21a and 21b having a constant curved surface are in contact with each other so that both panels 3n and 3n ₊₁ are closely connected without rattling. However, if the sub-running tool 7 of the front panel 3n further enters the panel rail 4 of the front panel 3n _-1 , both panels 3n and 3n ₊₁ bend as shown in FIG. The guide groove 9 of the joint 5 is moved. In this case also, the sliding contact surfaces 21a and 21b slide with each other along with the movement of the auxiliary traveling tool 7, and are regulated so that the panels 3n and 3n _{+ 1} smoothly bend and move without rattling.

Furthermore, if the bending and movement between both panels 3n, 3n ₊₁ progresses,
In the state shown in FIG. 3c, the sliding contact surfaces 21a and 21b are separated from each other, and the auxiliary traveling tool 7 moves from the guide groove 9 of the joint 5 to the panel rail 4. Of course, in order for the auxiliary traveling tool 7 to move to the panel rail 4, the assist roller 8 needs to leave the second rail 11 and be in a state in which bending is allowed. In this way, the panels 3a, 3b ... Are bent and housed and arranged as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9.

By the way, according to the present invention configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

(Effects) (1) Since the horizontal opening / closing device according to the present invention is arranged separately on each panel when the opening is opened and the shutter is stored, the storage space is small and unnecessary. Therefore, it is possible to make a large opening. On the other hand, even when closing the opening, the front end of the front panel can be designed to stop at the intersection where the storage rail is raised. Therefore, a cover as a door pocket corresponding to the space length L in FIG. 11 is required. Not only that, the incident area of sunlight is further expanded. That is, in the conventional case, when the shutter is closed, the front panel has to slide to the position shown in FIG. 11a, and therefore, the area of the space L has to be covered. As shown in the figure, the top panel will be located in the storage area,
No cover for this area is required.

(2) In the device, the first rail is provided alongside not only the horizontal opening but also the vertical frontage, the inclined portion, and the curved portion, and the second rail is provided along the necessary portion of the first rail. By providing it, opening and closing operation can be performed. That is, it is not necessary to install separate opening / closing devices for the frontage and the horizontal opening, and the opening / closing operations of these shutters are simple in structure, so that not only automatic opening / closing but also manual opening / closing operations are easy.

(3) Further, the first rail is curved vertically downward to
By providing the vertical rails, it is possible to store the panels in a laminated form at the lower end portion of the vertical rails, eliminate the shutter at all in the horizontal opening portion, and obtain the opening portion in the whole open state. By adopting such a storage form, the opening degree of the opening is not restricted, even if the shutter has a large number of panels, and a more effective opening / closing device is provided.
