Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a connecting device for a rail that opens and closes a door such as a partition panel. Regarding the technology to be used.

[Background technology] Conventionally, when connecting rails, a connecting tool is firmly inserted into the butt point of two rails, and the connection is made by collisions or vibrations of runners running along the rails. This prevents the tools from moving and prevents the rails from becoming disconnected even after long-term use. By the way, there is a problem in that when a substantially channel-shaped connecting tool is firmly inserted into a substantially channel-shaped rail, when the connecting tool is pushed strongly with a tool such as a screwdriver, the tool such as a screwdriver easily slips and comes off from the connecting tool, which is dangerous. It was hot.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of these problems, and its purpose is to prevent tools such as screwdrivers from slipping off the connectors, and to stably connect the connectors to the rails. An object of the present invention is to provide a rail connector that can be inserted into a rail to safely connect the rails.

[Disclosure of the invention] The rail connector of the invention connects the rails 1, 1 by being inserted into the inside of each rail 1, 1 in a press-contact state at a butting point between the two substantially channel-shaped rails 1, 1. A horizontal horizontal piece 3 of a substantially channel-shaped connector main body 2, which is a rail connector.
A concave locking portion 4 into which a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted and locked is formed near the center of at least one end in the length direction. Through this, the above objectives have been achieved. That is, by forming the locking part 4 into which a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted and locked at at least one end in the length direction of the horizontal horizontal piece 3 of the connector main body 2, the locking part 4 can be locked. Tools such as screwdrivers will not come off from the connector,
This allows the connecting tool to be strongly inserted into the rail 1 safely.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

The rail 1 is formed into a substantially channel shape with a lip, and is attached to a mounting part such as a lintel.
A runner (not shown) is run on the lip piece 5 inside this substantially channel-shaped rail 1 so that a door (not shown) such as a partition panel having a runner can be opened and closed. . It is preferable that the lower part of a door such as a partition panel be guided by a lower rail (not shown) attached to a sill or the like.
The connector main body 2 is formed into a substantially channel shape without a lip, and its outer circumferential surface is an insertion surface that is firmly and slidably inserted into the inner circumferential surface of the rail 1. The vertical piece 8 of the connector main body 2 is made approximately equal to the internal height h of the rail 1. At both ends of the horizontal horizontal piece 3 of the connector main body 2, locking portions 4 are formed, respectively, into which a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted and locked. This locking part 4
is a concave portion 6 formed by cutting out a concave shape. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, by locking the tip of the driver 10 in the recess 6 of the concave locking portion 4 and pushing the connector 7, the connector 7 is attached to the rail 1, 1 and connect the rails 1 and 1. In this case, driver 10
Since the tip of the connector is locked in the concave locking part 4, when the connector 7 is pushed with the driver 10,
The tip of the driver 10 is positioned so that it is easy to push, and even when force is applied in the lateral direction, the tip of the driver 10 is positioned in the recess 6 of the locking part 4 of the connector 7.
It is something that cannot be separated from. In the embodiment, the locking portions 4 are formed at both ends of the connector 7, but the locking portions 4 may be located at either end.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the present invention is a rail connector that is inserted in a press-contact state into the inside of each rail at the abutting point of two substantially channel-shaped rails to connect the rails. A concave locking portion for inserting and locking a tool such as a screwdriver is formed near the center of at least one lengthwise end of the horizontal horizontal piece of the shaped connector main body.
To insert the connector inside the rail in a press-contact state,
By making the locking part of the connector concave, even if a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted into the locking part and the connector is moved, the tool will not come off the connector. This has the effect that it is possible to safely insert the connecting tool into the locking part and into the inside of the rail in a state of strong pressure contact.
