DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, based on FIGS.
The sliding door according to the first embodiment will be described in detail. 1 is a perspective view of a sliding door according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view of the sliding door according to the first embodiment, FIG. 3 is an enlarged portion of a main part III of FIG. 1, and FIG.
This is the enlarged part of IV.

The sliding door 1 according to the first embodiment includes a vertically long rectangular surface material 11 and an upper frame 1 provided on an upper edge of the surface material 11.
2, a lower frame 13 provided on the lower edge, a vertical frame 14 provided on the side edge opposite to the door, and a pair of handles 15, provided on each of the front and back surfaces of the door. 15.

The face material 11 is made of a generally used plywood,
Any of a glass plate, an aluminum plate, an iron plate, a resin plate and the like may be used, but when used in a bathroom, it is desirable to use a resin plate from the viewpoint of safety. The thicker the plate, the higher the strength. However, it is preferable to set the thickness to 10 mm or less in terms of weight and cost.

The handles 15, 15 are composed of an upper frame 12 and a lower frame 1.
3, the upper end is fixed to the upper frame 12 at a position near the door by a bolt, and the lower end is positioned at a position near the door of the lower frame 13. It is fixed with bolts 16 (see FIG. 3). Further, these handles 15, 15 are provided with cylindrical intermediate brackets 17, 17 at two places in the middle, and these intermediate brackets 17, 17 are fixed to the face material 11 with bolts 18 (FIG. 4).

That is, the sliding door 1 of the first embodiment is different from the conventional sliding door in that the vertical frame on the side of the door is eliminated and a long handle 15 which can be bridged between the upper frame 12 and the lower frame 13 is used. This is a very different point.
