Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a double door that opens and closes an opening with a pair of doors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, an opening 80 provided at a rear portion of a vehicle body such as a van is provided with a double door 81 for opening and closing the opening 80. The gate 81
Left and right doors 82 and 83 pivotally supported by the vehicle body, right door 83
Is provided with an upper lock 84 at an upper portion and a lower lock 85 at a lower portion, and an upper striker 86 provided at an upper portion of the opening 80 and a lower striker 87 provided at a lower portion of the opening 80 have respective locks 84. , 85
And the right door 83 can be locked in the opening 80. The wedge 88 is engaged with a wedge striker (not shown) provided on the lower end surface of the right door 83.

Further, an inner handle 91 for releasably operating the upper lock 84 and the lower lock 85 at the same time is provided on the end surface 89 of the right door among the end surfaces of the left and right doors 82 and 83 which face each other. Also, the end face 89
The center lock 9 provided on the end surface 90 of the left door 82.
A center striker 93 that can lock 2 is provided,
An inside handle 95 capable of releasing the center lock 92 is provided on the inner surface 94 of the left door 82, and an outside handle (not shown) is provided on the outer surface of the left door 82.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional double door 81, the right door 83 is provided with the opening 8 of the vehicle body.
Since the gannon door 81 can be opened and closed by locking it to 0 and locking the left door 82 to the right door 83, the left door 82 must always be opened first when opening. Therefore, when taking out the luggage stored in the right corner of the rear part of the vehicle, the left door 82 must be opened first, and then the right door 83 must be opened to take out the luggage. If the left door 82 cannot be opened due to the obstacles, etc., the right door 83 may not be opened.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and can be operated from either side of both doors when opening and closing an opening closed by a pair of doors. The purpose is to provide a gate door.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, the first and second doors pivotally supported at the edge of the opening are rotated to open and close the opening. In the double door, the bridge members that are bridged to the opposite edges of the opening at the positions where the free ends of both doors in the closed state overlap inward, and the bridge members are attached to and detached from the edges. It is provided with a first locking means for freely fixing and second and third locking means for independently engaging and disengaging the both doors with the bridging member.

[0007]

In the above structure, the first door, the second door and the bridging member are provided independently of each other, the first door is in the locked state of the second locking means, and the second door is in the first state. It is released when the lock means 3 is locked. Further, the bridging member for engaging and disengaging both doors is detached from the edge of the opening by the first locking means.

That is, when the first door is opened earlier than the closed state, the engagement between the first door and the bridging member is released by the second locking means, and the first door is opened. . next,
After the first locking means is released and the bridging member is disengaged from the edge of the opening, a second door engaging the bridging member is
It is opened integrally with the bridging member.

Further, when the second door is opened first, the engagement between the second door and the bridge member is released by the third locking means, and the second door is opened. Next, after the first locking means is released and the bridging member is disengaged from the edge portion, the first door engaging with the bridging member is integrally opened with the bridging member.

Furthermore, when both doors are opened at the same time, the engagement between the first door and the bridge member is released by the second locking means, and the engagement between the second door and the bridge member is released. Third
It is released by the locking means of and both doors are opened at the same time. Then, the first locking means is released, and the bridging member is removed from the edge portion.

In this way, both doors can be opened independently.
