Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a panel cap attachment device, and includes reinforcing ribs 2 extending longitudinally within a hollow panel body 1 whose longitudinal end faces are open.
At the same time, a locking notch 3 is recessed in the opening side end of the reinforcing rib 2, the opening end surface of the panel body 1 is closed with a panel cap 4, and the elastic bifurcated leg is suspended from the panel cap 4. The present invention relates to a panel cap attachment device in which the claw portion 6 of No. 5 is locked into the locking notch 3.

Conventionally, when closing the openings of a panel body obtained by extrusion molding synthetic resin or metal, which is open at both the top and bottom ends, a panel cap is attached to the opening of the panel body with tapping screws or adhesive. However, using adhesives has the disadvantage that it takes a long time for the adhesive to dry and the panel cap is fixed, while using tapping screws has the disadvantage that it takes a lot of effort to tighten the screws. .

The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide a locking notch in the reinforcing rib and provide an elastic bifurcated leg in the panel cap, so that the claw portion of the bifurcated leg can be fixed. The panel cap can be attached to the opening of the panel body simply by locking it in the locking notch, and there is no need to use tapping screws or adhesives to attach the panel cap to the opening of the panel body. To provide a panel cap attaching device which simplifies panel assembly since the panel cap can be attached to the opening of the panel body with one touch without the need to use the panel cap.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

The panel body 1 is for forming the folding door body 7, and is obtained by extrusion molding synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin, and the panel body 1 is hollow inside as shown in Fig. 1. Both the upper and lower end surfaces are open, and inside there are reinforcing ribs 2 that extend almost the entire length in the longitudinal direction.
b, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 2 are provided at intervals in the width direction of the panel body 1.

At both upper and lower ends of the reinforcing ribs 2 on both sides, locking notches 3 are formed in an undercut shape, the interior being wider than the opening edge side, and a projecting wall 14 protrudes within the locking notches 3. On both the left and right sides of the panel body 1, there are provided an arc surface 8 for thread sliding, a stopper piece 9, and a cylindrical shaft 10 at the tip of the stopper piece 9, symmetrically with respect to the center.

The panel cap 4 is made of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin, and has approximately the same shape as the cross section of the panel body 1 excluding the stopper piece 9.Both sides of the panel cap 4 have arcuate surfaces that are symmetrical about the left and right points. 13, and an upper protrusion 15 is provided around the upper edge of the panel cap 4.

A fitting protrusion 1 is provided on the lower surface of the panel cap 4 for fitting into the inner edge of a substantially rectangular hollow portion 11 formed by the adjacent reinforcing ribs 2 of the panel body 1, the front plate 1a, and the back plate 1b.
2 are hung vertically in a frame shape, and elastic bifurcated legs 5 are hung parallel to the longitudinal direction of the panel cap 4 at the portions of the panel cap 4 located above the reinforcing ribs 2 on both sides. At the bottom of each bifurcated leg 5, a tapered, substantially triangular claw portion 6 projects outward.

In addition, the panel cap 4 has a cylindrical portion 26 hanging on the outside of each bifurcated leg 5 for screwing the hinge plate.
A cutout hole 27 is bored on the outside of the bifurcated leg 5 in the width direction.

Therefore, when attaching the panel cap 4 to the open upper and lower ends of the panel body 1, each fitting protrusion 12 is fitted into the inner edge of each hollow part 11 of the corresponding panel body 1, and the panel The open end of the main body 1 is closed with a panel cap 4, and each bifurcated leg 5 is inserted into the locking notch 3 as shown in FIG. The panel cap 4 is locked to the panel body 1 on the road surface.

Now, when the bifurcated leg 5 side of the panel cap 4 is inserted into the panel body 1, the claw portion 6 that protrudes outward in a tapered manner is pressed inward by the inner edge of the frontage of the locking notch 3 and smoothly locks. It enters the depths of the notch 3, but when the upper end of the claw part 6 enters inside from the lower surface of the projecting wall 14, the claw part 6 immediately elastically returns to the outside, so that the upper end surface of the claw part 6 engages with the lower surface of the projecting wall 14. This prevents the panel cap 4 from coming off from the panel body 1.

As described above, by simply inserting the panel cap 4 into the open end of the panel body 1, the claw portion 6 of the bifurcated leg 5 can be inserted into the locking notch 3.
Since the panel cap 4 can be locked to the panel body 1 with one touch, the panel cap 4 can be attached to the panel body 1 without using adhesives or tapping screws as in the past, making panel assembly easier. It can be simplified.

In order to form the folding door body 7 with this panel body 1, as shown in FIG. The panel body 1 has a hinge 16a on the front side and a hinge 16 on the rear side.
b are alternately screwed together to form the folding door body 7.

In addition, caps (not shown) are attached to both the upper and lower ends of the hinges 16 a and 16 b.
The outer end of the cap that protrudes further outward than b is opposed to both end surfaces of the panel body 1 in the vertical direction, and is connected to the hinge 16.
a, 16b are arranged so that they do not come out from the screw sliding arc surface 8.

Further, on the vertical surface of the cap, a hinge holder whose one end is fixed to the panel cap 4 by inserting a tapping screw into the cylindrical portion 26 faces a plate (not shown), and the hinge 16 a
, 16b has a plate on the cap and hinge holder to prevent it from falling out.

Here, the front hinge 16a and the rear hinge 16b are provided with stopper pieces 9 provided point-symmetrically on both left and right sides of the panel body 1, so that the front side of the panel body 1 protrudes at the front hinge 16a. Furthermore, the panel body 1 can be folded only so that the rear side of the panel body 1 protrudes from the hinge 16b on the rear side.

In addition, the upper guide 18 provided above the rear hinge 16b is slidably inserted into the rail 19, and the rear hinge 1
A door roller 20 provided below 6b is slidably inserted into a lower rail 21, and a vertically movable follower guide 22 provided above the front hinge 16a is urged upward by a spring.

Furthermore, the upper rail 19 includes a first kick-out block 24 for allowing the slave guide 22 located on the end side in the folding direction of the slave guides 22 to be freely inserted into and taken out from the upper rail 19, and the remaining slave guides 22 are attached to the upper rail. A second kicking block 25 is provided in the opening 19 so as to be freely put in and taken out.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the panel cap can be attached to the opening of the panel body simply by locking the claws of the bifurcated legs into the locking notches, and the panel cap can be attached to the opening of the panel body. There is no need to use tapping screws or adhesives to attach the panel cap to the panel as in the past, and the panel cap can be attached to the opening of the panel body with a single touch, which simplifies the assembly of the panel.
