Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing an example of an embodiment of a doorway structure of a bathroom according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. The partition wall 11 for the bathroom 10 has a rectangular opening 12 used when going in and out of the bathroom 10.
Is provided close to one corner of the bathroom 10. The periphery of the opening 12 is surrounded by an opening frame 13 attached to the partition wall 11.

On the bathroom 10 side of the opening 12,
An opening / closing door 20 for opening / closing the opening 12 is provided. The opening / closing door 20 is provided with a pair of folding doors 22 and 23 that are arranged side by side in a door frame 30 that faces the opening frame 13 that surrounds the opening 12 and closes the opening 12. have. Adjacent side edges of the folding doors 22 and 23 are foldably connected by a hinge 25, and the side edges of the folding doors 22 and 23 connected by the hinge 25 are located inside the bathroom 10. Each folding door 22 and 23 is designed to be bent so as to enter.

In the folding door 22, which is arranged close to the corner of the bathroom 10, the side edge close to the corner is hinged to the vertical frame 31 of the door frame 30 adjacent to the corner. The folding door 22 is connected by (not shown), and the folding door 22 is rotated such that the side edge portion on the far side with respect to the corner portion enters the bathroom 10.

The folding door 23 arranged on the far side with respect to the corner portion of the bathroom 10 has an upper end (not shown) of the door frame 21 at the upper end of the side edge portion on the far side with respect to the corner portion.
In addition, it is in a state of being slidably suspended along the upper frame.

With this structure, the opening / closing door 20 is
While the side edge part of the folding door 23 on the far side from the corner part is slid along the upper frame of the door frame 30,
The folding doors 22 near the corners are rotated so as to enter the bathroom 10, so that the adjacent side edges of the opening and closing doors 22 and 23 are folded so as to enter the bathroom 10. Thus, the opening 12 is opened.

The floor surface 16 of the bathroom 10 is set to have substantially the same height as the reference floor surface 19 indoors. Opening 1
A recess 17 into which a lower frame 32 of the door frame 30 is fitted is provided on the floor surface 16 close to 2. Therefore, the door 2
The lower surfaces of the folding doors 22 and 23 of 0 are located slightly above the floor surface 16 of the bathroom 10, and a very small gap is formed between them.

A folding door 2 arranged near the corner
A roller 24 is rotatably provided on the lower surface of 2. This roller 24 has a folding door 23 and a hinge 25 on the other side.
It is arranged below the side edges connected by. As shown in FIG. 3, the roller 24 rotates when the folding door 22 of the opening / closing door 20 is rotated so as to enter the bathroom 10.
It can be fitted into a guide groove 18 provided on the floor surface 16 of the bathroom 10. The guide groove 18 provided on the floor surface 16 extends from the recessed portion 17 provided on the floor surface 16 along the locus of the side edge portion of the folding door 22 arranged near the corner, to which the roller 24 is attached. It has an arc shape.

In the entrance / exit structure of the bathroom having such a structure,
When entering and leaving the bathroom 10, the connecting portion of the folding doors 22 and 23 of the opening and closing door 20 is made to enter the bathroom 10, and the outer side edge portion of the folding door 23 on the far side from the corner is turned into a corner. Slide to get close to the section. As a result, the roller 24 provided on the lower surface of the folding door 22 arranged near the corner portion enters into the guide groove 18 provided on the floor surface 16 of the bathroom 10 and follows the guide groove 18. Be guided.

As a result, the connected side edges of the folding doors 22 and 23 enter the bathroom 10 to open and close the door 20.
In the folded state, the opening 12 provided in the partition wall 11 of the bathroom 10 is opened.

Since the lower surface of each folding door 22 is in a state of being supported by the roller 24 fitted in the guide groove 18, each folding door 22 and 23 is against the floor surface 16 of the bathroom 10. Despite being in a close state, there is no risk of interfering with the floor surface 16, and the opening / closing door 20 can be opened and closed smoothly. Also, one folding door 23 is in a suspended state, but the other folding door 22
Since it is supported by the roller 24, there is no possibility that the folding doors 22 and 23 will fall over the years and interfere with the floor surface 16 of the bathroom 10. Furthermore, the lower frame 32 of the door frame 30 and the lower part of the opening / closing door 20 can be easily housed, and both can be easily made waterproof. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a drain in the bathroom 10 close to the opening 12.
