However, materials with excellent flexibility, abrasion resistance, soundproofing properties, etc. are preferred. Those that generate a large resistance force upon contact with the floor surface are not preferred. filamentous body 3 The length is such that when the gap member 1 is installed on the lower end surface 5 of the door body 4, the tip of the filament 3 is It should be able to touch the floor. The filament 3 is too long and the part that contacts the floor is long. If the There is a case. The filaments 3 may be arranged uniformly on the surface of the base 2 or alternatively A bundle of several thread-like bodies 3 is arranged on the surface of the base 2 in a staggered or lattice arrangement. You may also do so. The arrangement density of the filamentous bodies 3 is such that when the door 4 is closed, drafts will not penetrate. It is sufficient to effectively prevent noise and sound leakage. The shape of the filament 3 is as in the illustrated embodiment. It may be straight, or it may form a loop.

[0013] To attach the gap member 1 along the lower end surface 5 of the door body 4, for example, double-sided adhesive Tape etc. can be used. Alternatively, place adhesive tape on the top surface of the base 2 in advance. You can also leave it there. Due to reasons such as the tip of the filament 3 being worn out due to long-term use, gaps may occur. In consideration of replacing the intervening member 1, these adhesives or adhesive tapes may not be used artificially. It can be made to be easily peelable.

[0014] Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the gap member according to the present invention installed on the lower side of the door body. FIG. In the illustrated embodiment, each of the lower side surfaces of the door body 4 is Although the gap member 11 is provided, it may also be provided only on one side. stomach. The feature of this gap member 11 is that the base 12 has a vertically long shape, and the door base 12 has a vertically elongated shape. It is designed so that it can be easily attached to the lower side of the body 4. Figures 1 and 2 Similar to the embodiment, an adhesive tape is applied in advance to the surface of the base 12 that is to be attached to the door body 4. You can also use double-sided adhesive tape, nails, screws, etc. Alternatively, the gap member 11 may be attached to the lower side surface of the door body 4.

For example, nails, screws, etc. Means can be used. Also, these gap members 1 and 11 are aligned with the door body 4. It may also be formed in the body. In this case, the bases 2, 12 are omitted and the filament 3 , 13 may extend directly from the bottom of the door 4.

[0018] The door of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 has a groove 6 formed along the lower end surface. It consists of a main body 4 and a gap member 21 that is removably mounted within the groove 6. So The gap member 21 includes a base portion 22 that fits into the groove 6 and a portion extending from the base portion 22. A plurality of densely packed flexible filament bodies 23 having a length such that the ends thereof come into contact with the floor surface. It is becoming more and more. The illustrated groove 6 is a dovetail groove, and the end on the frame 7 side is open. but is closed at the opposite end. Therefore, the door body 4 Even after it has already been assembled to the frame 7, the gap member 21 is inserted into the groove from the open end on the frame 7 side. It can be inserted into 6. After inserting the gap member 21, close the opening end with a suitable member. You can also block it off.

[0019] The base 22 of the gap member 21 has a depth d of the groove 6 so that it fits snugly into the groove 6. The thickness can be approximately the same. However, as shown in FIG. 2 may be thinner than the depth d of the groove 6. In the example in Figure 5, the tip is placed on the floor 8. The thread-like body 23 that is in contact supports the weight of the gap member 21, and the lower part of the door body 4 A gap s is left between the upper surface of the jaw portion 9 of the base portion 22 and the lower surface of the shoulder portion 10 of the base portion 22. There is. Therefore, the gap between the lower end surface 5 of the door body 4 and the floor surface 8 is smaller than that shown in FIG. Even if the height is slightly larger, the gap member 21 of the same height can be used. cormorant. In this way, by making the thickness of the base 22 thinner than the depth of the groove 6, the door A dimensional error in the gap between the lower end surface 5 of the main body 4 and the floor surface 8 can be compensated for. Also, In the case shown in Fig. 5, even if the tip of the filament 23 is worn out due to long-term use, the gap Since the material 21 can adjust its height position by its own weight, the tip of the filament 23 can maintain contact with the floor surface 8 for a long time.

[0020] The groove 6 on the lower end surface of the door body 4, which is a groove in the embodiments of FIGS. 4 and 5, is , it may be a normal groove with the jaw portion 9 omitted.
