Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a bellows sliding door for furniture, etc., in which a plurality of elongated unit plates made of synthetic resin are connected sideways.

(Prior art) As a conventional bellows sliding door that opens and closes in the vertical or horizontal direction, a plurality of long unit plates are fastened one by one in the width direction via metal parts, or a band is connected to each other one by one through metal parts. One known is one that is formed by adhering it to the back side of a board.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The former of the conventional sliding doors described above requires a lot of effort to assemble and is disadvantageous in terms of providing the product at a low price. The drawback was that the thickness was regulated. Also,
The latter type of conventional sliding door has the disadvantage that if the unit plate is damaged during manufacture or use, it is not easy to replace the unit plate.

The object of the present invention is to provide a bellows sliding door that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional ones.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a bellows sliding door in which a plurality of long unit plates are connected to each other in the width direction by a connector, at least one of each unit plate is Grooves are formed along the width direction at both ends, the inner width of which is wider than the surface, and the wide parts of the grooves of the plurality of unit plates are fitted with strip-shaped thin plates having a width approximately equal to the wide parts and having elasticity. It is characterized by

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a long unit plate made of, for example, transparent synthetic resin, and on the main surfaces of both ends of the unit plate 1, there are grooves, such as dovetail grooves, which are wider inside than the surface along the width direction. 2 is formed, and the four corners are flat chamfered 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes an elastic band-shaped thin plate made of metal, synthetic resin, or the like, and its width is approximately equal to the wide portion of the dovetail groove 2 . The bellows sliding door is made by arranging the long unit plates 1 in the number equal to the width of the sliding door in contact with each other in the width direction, and inserting strip-shaped thin plates 4 into the wide parts of the dovetail grooves 2 of the many unit plates 1 from the lateral direction. The unit plates 1 are inserted and connected to each other.

Figure 1 A and B both show the bellows sliding door 5 of the present invention.
In this cabinet, each sliding door 5 is installed with the side on which the dovetail groove 2 is formed facing inward, and fitting into the guide groove 6 formed on the top and bottom or left and right edges of the plate material of the shelf section of the cabinet. It will be done. When a fluorescent lamp (not shown) is installed inside the sliding door 5, the interior illumination light is emitted from the four corners of each transparent unit plate 1 which are flattened 3 and the entire unit has a curved shape. Bellows sliding door 5
Since the light is diffusely reflected and transmitted outward, the bellows sliding door 5 is beautiful and highly decorative when viewed from the outside.

In the above embodiment, the dovetail grooves 2 are formed only at both ends of the unit plate 1, but one or more dovetail grooves 2 may be formed between them, and the thin plate 4 may be inserted into the dovetail grooves 2.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to the invention, grooves are formed in the unit plates that are wider inside than on the surface, and elastic strip-shaped thin plates are used as connectors, so assembly is easy and the product is easy to assemble. It has advantages such as being inexpensive and making it easy to replace the unit plate.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In a bellows sliding door formed by connecting a plurality of long unit plates to each other in the width direction using a connector, grooves are formed along the width direction at least at both ends of each unit plate, and the grooves are wider inside than on the surface. A bellows sliding door characterized in that a band-shaped thin plate having elasticity and having a width substantially equal to the wide part is inserted into the wide part of the groove of the unit plate.
