Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a folding door, and in particular, a folding door having a structure that closes the gap between fixed and movable panels constituting the folding door and a rail member fixed to an upper stile that guides the movable panel. Regarding.

Conventionally, this type of folding door has a movable panel rotatably attached to a fixed panel using a hinge or the like, and the movable panel moves in the opening/closing direction along a guide groove of a rail member fixed to the upper stile. , which folds and opens and closes each panel.

For this reason, a guide hinge is fixed to the upper edge of the movable panel for guiding movement along the rail member.
In order to attach this guide hinge to the upper edge of the panel, a relatively large gap is required between the rail member and the panel.

However, creating a gap at the top of the panel is not preferable from the standpoint of creating a sufficient clearance, and the appearance is also poor because the mounting portion of the guide hinge is also exposed.

The present invention was developed in view of the above, and in order to reduce the gap at the top of the panel, a retainer member is fixed to the upper edge of the panel, and the retainer has a structure in which a cover member that closes the gap is fitted to the retainer member. It provides folding doors.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention for a double-opening folding door. 2b is attached, and a rail member 4 is attached to the upper stile 36, and within the space partitioned by the vertical frames 2a, 2b' and the rail member 4, a movable panel 6 connected to the fixed panel 5 with a hinge etc. is provided. .

The fixed panel 5 is rotatably erected with a lower hinge member 8 pivoted to the floor 7 and an upper hinge member 9 pivoted to the Renil member 4, while the movable panel 6 has a guide hinge at the top end. The guide hinge 10 extends within the rail member 4 and supports a roller that moves within the rail, and guides the movable panel 6 along the rail member 4.

As shown by the dotted lines, receiver stop members 11 are fixed to the upper edges of the fixed panel 5 and the movable panel 6, respectively, and the receivers are fitted with the stop members 11 and a cover member 12 is attached. .

FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view taken along the river line II in FIG. The lower edge of the cover member 12 is fitted into the fitting protrusions 14a and 14b.

On the other hand, the guide hinge 1 attached to the upper edge of the movable panel 6
0 extends inside the rail member 4, and a pair of rollers 1 roll in guide grooves 22a and 22b inside the rail member 4.
5a and 15b are supported.

The cover member 12 and the catch member 11 shown in FIG. 2 are shown separately in FIGS. 3 and 4.

FIG. 3 shows the cover member 12, which is molded from aluminum or synthetic resin, has a U-shaped end face that opens downward, and has fitting grooves 16a running longitudinally inside the lower portions of both sides. 16b, and a decorative groove 17 on the outside thereof.
is formed.

In addition, a notch 1 is provided at one end of the upper surface of the cover member 12.
8 is provided, and this notch 18 receives the hinge portion when fitted to the upper edge of the panel.

Fig. 4 shows the stopper member 11 taken out from the receiver, which is formed as a molded material made of aluminum, for example, and has fitting protrusions 14a and 14b on both sides, and a screw 13 in the longitudinal direction at the center of the upper surface. Cut groove 20 for drilling through hole 19
, and three pedestals 21 are provided at the bottom for seating on the upper edge of the panel.

As shown in FIG. 1, this retaining member 11 has a length that is fixed to the upper edge of the panel while avoiding the panel mounting portion of each hinge portion 9 and 10, and on the other hand, the above-mentioned cover member 1
2 has a length corresponding to the width of the fixed and moving panels.

Further, the height of the cover member 12 is determined to be the size of the clearance between the upper edge of the panel and the curtain member.

In addition, in order to completely close the slight gap that occurs between the cover member 12 and the rail member 4 when attached to the panel, apply thick cloth tape or highly elastic tape to the upper surface of the cover member 12. Foamed rubber tape or the like may be attached.

As explained above, the folding door of the present invention has a simple structure in which a catch member is fixed to the upper edge of the fixed and movable panel, and a cover member is fitted to the catch member. The gap between the panel and the rail of the upper stile can be almost completely eliminated, increasing the tightness of the folding door and preventing the hinge members from being exposed, resulting in an excellent design. Since we were able to cover the panel attachment part of the hinge, we were able to prevent failure of the hinge to rotate due to the accumulation of dust, etc.
