DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shutter which is installed as a fitting in an opening of a building, and more particularly to a telescopic folding shutter which can be telescopically folded.

[0002]

A shutter known as a shutter of this type, for example, a pipe shutter has a see-through property that can be seen through the inside, so that it is used, for example, for a store in an underground shopping mall to promote sales and crime prevention. However, the pipe shutter can be rolled up and closed by winding and storing it on the shutter shaft, like a general steel shutter. There remains a problem that a relatively large storage unit is required.

The telescopic folding shutter of Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 5-88343, which replaces the pipe shutter, proposed by the present inventor, connects a large number of bars by a telescopic mechanism so that the shutter main body is moved by a guide rail facing the shutter. The opening and closing of the shutter body is determined by the width and width of the crosspiece, and the opening and closing width of the opening is determined. If the size is large, it is necessary to make the storage space large according to the folding width. Therefore, the opening to be installed is restricted, and it is not always possible to use it for general purpose installation. The expansion and contraction is performed by using a simultaneous expansion and contraction mechanism in which all the expansion and contraction mechanisms for the expansion and contraction simultaneously expand and contract. When the shutter body is opened and closed, the shutter body is sent to the storage section with the bar at the middle position, and the shutter body is opened or closed by repeating the operation. There is a possibility that the hand may be caught in the vehicle, and this point needs to be improved in terms of improving safety regardless of whether it is electric or manual.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a solution is to solve the problem by assuming that the shutter body has a see-through property, and the folding storage space is made as small and compact as possible. An object of the present invention is to provide a telescopic folding shutter which has a reduced size, smooth opening and closing of a shutter body, and as much as possible the possibility of a human hand being pinched during opening and closing, and improved safety.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a shutter body which can be extended and contracted by connecting and contracting independently extendable and contractible units. A restricting link for controlling the expansion and contraction of the telescopic unit is provided, and the restricting link is expanded and contracted at a predetermined position in accordance with the guidance of the guide rail. In addition, when the shutter body is closed by passing the position by setting the position of the expansion / contraction displacement near the curved portion interposed between the opening and the storage portion intersecting the opening, the shutter moves in the closing direction. The telescopic unit is sequentially extended, the restricting link is constrained in the extended state, and the opening is closed.
Conversely, when the shutter body is opened, the restraint of the telescopic unit is sequentially released in the opening direction to reduce the size and reduce the radius of rotation by this reduction, so that the turning of the direction change in the curved portion can be achieved. According to the first aspect of the present invention, the shutter body is guided by a guide rail opposed to the shutter body, and the opening part intersects the opening part. The shutter body is formed by a plurality of individually expandable and contractible units that can be bent in the direction of the storage portion and that are individually connected to each other in the opening and closing direction. A V-shaped restricting link that can be freely expanded and contracted to restrict the expansion and contraction of the expansion and contraction unit, and the opposing guide rail is connected to the shutter body. An L-shaped main guide is provided between the opening and the storage portion via the curved portion for guiding, and the main guide is arranged parallel to the main guide at the opening for guiding the regulating link. A telescopic folding shutter is characterized by being formed by a sub-guide that branches from the guide and performs the expansion and contraction displacement of the regulation link. The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that it is easily and reliably expanded and contracted in addition to the above. In order to provide a shutter body of a preferred form that opens and closes, the above-mentioned telescopic unit body of the shutter body is connected to a pair of crossbars in the opening and closing direction and a plurality of individual telescopic link mechanisms interposed between the crossbars in the longitudinal direction of the crossbar. 2. The telescopic fold according to claim 1, wherein the telescopic fold is formed to be flexible, and a number of connections in the opening / closing direction are performed between hinges of adjacent telescopic units via hinges. According to the third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above, the shutter is regulated by the sub-guide so as to provide a preferable form of the enlargement / reduction guide for smoothly and reliably guiding the regulation link by the sub-guide. The guide of the link is provided via a guide roller installed near the link bar shaft support portion of the regulating link so that the link can be freely guided by rolling with respect to the sub-guide with the opening and closing direction of the telescopic unit being centered. The telescopic folding shutter according to claim 1 or 2 is used as a means for solving the above problems as the gist of the invention.

A predetermined number is provided in the longitudinal direction of the bar 3 at a pitch required for crime prevention at the time of closing so as to accommodate the telescopic link mechanism 5 formed by a character-shaped link. In this example, the longitudinal direction of one of the intersections with the frame-shaped facing structural member 4 in this example is rotatably mounted on a fixed shaft, and the other longitudinal direction is slidably engaged via a roller. Since the shutter main body 1 is used for individual expansion and contraction and is provided in the expansion and contraction unit 2 and the individual expansion and contraction link mechanism 5 is used, the shutter body 1 can be individually expanded and contracted for each arbitrary expansion and contraction unit 2 in the opening and closing direction. And a connection 8 through the hinge 8 of the telescopic unit 2.
