0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a retractable roof device that can be installed, for example, on a terrace and used as a sunshade or rainproof cover, or installed outdoors and used as a roof for a garage.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of roof device has been provided with an extendable support made of parallelogram links on a girder, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-203964. A tent is stretched over this support as a roof,
It is known that the awning is opened and closed by expanding and contracting the support.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional system described above, since the awning is used as a roof, even when the support body is stretched and the awning is extended, the flexibility of the awning itself is not enough. There are uneven areas where rainwater tends to collect. Once rainwater accumulates, the recesses become more and more depressed and the amount of rainwater increases, and there is a risk that the awning will eventually become unable to withstand it and break. Therefore, unless measures are taken to actively drain rainwater, the aging of the awning will be accelerated, but in practice it is difficult to create a structure that allows for effective drainage of rainwater without interfering with the opening and closing of the awning.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a retractable roof device that can easily and effectively drain rainwater from the roof.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a retractable roof device according to the present invention as set forth in claim 1 comprises:
A plurality of bogies arranged in a row are supported by girders installed on a plurality of pillars, and a pair of rectangular rigid plates are arranged in parallel in the width direction and connected so that their tips can rotate. A plurality of sets of roof pieces are constituted as one set, and the base ends of the roof pieces of each set that are close to the adjacent set are rotatably connected to the above-mentioned cart, so that the roof pieces of each set are The gutter section is configured to be able to change between an open state in which it is folded into an inverted V shape and a closed state in which it is extended in a substantially inverted V shape, and which discharges rainwater flowing from the roof piece along the longitudinal direction of the roof piece. It is installed on the trolley side.

[0006] Furthermore, in the retractable roof device according to the present invention as set forth in claim 2, in the girder located on both sides of the gutter portion provided on the bogie side in the direction of rainwater flow, the gutter portion is provided with respect to the gutter portion on the bogie side. A gutter-like drainage channel is formed in a direction orthogonal to the gutter, and rainwater is allowed to flow into this gutter-like drainage channel through openings formed on both sides of the gutter section on the trolley side in the direction of rainwater flow. It is.

Furthermore, in the retractable roof device according to the present invention as set forth in claim 3, reinforcing frame members for connection are fixed to the tips of the roof pieces, and each reinforcing frame member is fixed to one of the reinforcing members for connection. When a set of roof pieces is extended into a substantially U-shaped configuration, rainwater intrudes into contact with the upper surface of the adjacent roof piece so as to cover the upper part of the hinge member that rotatably connects the ends of the roof pieces of the set. It has a protruding stopper piece that also serves as a prevention.

[0008]

[Function] According to the retractable roof device of the present invention as set forth in claim 1, the cart is moved along the girder, and the roof pieces of each set are folded into an approximately inverted V-shape in an open state and in an approximately inverted V-shape. By changing the roof to the closed state where it is stretched into a letter shape, you can choose to open or close the roof, and since the roof pieces are made of rectangular rigid plates, there is no accumulation of rain water in the open state, especially when installed on the trolley side. The gutter section allows rainwater to drain smoothly without hindering the opening and closing of the roof pieces.

According to claim 2, the rainwater flowing into the gutter on the truck side is allowed to flow into the gutter-like drainage channel formed in the girder through the openings at both ends thereof, and is smoothly discharged in a predetermined direction. Overflow from the gutter can be eliminated.

Furthermore, according to claim 3, each set of roof pieces is provided with a stopper piece that also serves to prevent rainwater from entering, which is provided protruding from one side of the reinforcing frame member for connection fixed to the tip of each roof piece. By contacting the upper surface of the adjacent roof piece when the roof piece is stretched into a shape, it is possible to reliably maintain each roof piece in the stretched position of the approximately square shape. By covering the upper part of the hinge member that rotatably connects the tips of the roof pieces, it is possible to reliably prevent rainwater from entering.

Further, the connection reinforcing frame member 19F of the third set of rear roof pieces 12F is rotatably supported by the fixed side bracket 20D via a hinge member 24F. As a result, each set of roof pieces 12 is configured to be able to change between an open state in which the roof pieces 12 are folded into a substantially inverted V-shape, and a closed state in which they are expanded into a substantially inverted V-shape.

Near both front and rear ends of the girder 3, there are a pair of sprockets 25, one of which is driven by a motor (not shown).
, 26 are arranged, and a chain 27 is hung between both sprockets 25, 26. This chain 27
The first cart 8A is connected to the link via a connecting member 28, and by driving this chain 27,
Each set of roof pieces 12 is opened and closed via the truck 8.

Each bracket 20 (20A, 2
0B, 20C) are each equipped with a pair of groove wheels 30, 30 movable on a guide rail 29 fixed on the beam 5, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
Lateral vibration of the roof piece 12 is prevented.

Each bracket 20 (2
0A, 20B, 20C) are formed with grooved gutter portions 31 (31A, 31B, 31C) extending in the left-right direction in order to guide rainwater flowing down the roof piece 12, Both longitudinal ends of this gutter portion 31 are open. Further, a similar gutter portion 31D is also formed on the bracket 20D of the pedestal member 22. 32 (32A,
32B, 32C, 32D, 32E, 32F) are stopper pieces protruding from each of the brackets 20, and when the roof pieces 12 of each set are extended into a substantially square shape, the stopper pieces correspond to the stopper pieces respectively. The stopper pieces 32 stop rotating when they come into contact with the lower surface of the roof piece 12, and an elastic sealing material 33 is held at each tip of the stopper pieces 32.

In the girder 3, a gutter-shaped horizontal drainage channel 3 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is provided in order to allow rainwater flowing down from the openings at both ends of the gutter portion 31 to flow in the front and rear directions.
4 is formed, and a vertical drainage channel 3 is also formed on the pillar 1 (2) for draining rainwater from the horizontal drainage channel 34 on the side of the girder 3 to the outside.
5 is formed, and a strainer 36 for removing dust is attached to the intersection of the horizontal drainage channel 34 and the vertical drainage channel 35.

In the above structure, when each set of roof pieces 12 is in an open state folded into a substantially inverted V shape as shown by the solid line in FIG.
7 in a predetermined direction, the frontmost cart 8A connected to the chain 27 moves forward (in the direction of arrow a), so that the roof pieces 12A, 12B of the first set 14A extend and move forward. Displaced to. Similarly, by sequentially moving the carts 8B and 8C forward, the roof pieces 12C and 12D of the second set 14B and the roof pieces 12 of the third set 14C are moved forward.
E and 12F are also expanded. As a result, the roof piece 12 is in a closed state in which it is expanded into a substantially square shape, as shown by the chain line in FIG. When this roof piece 12 is extended to the closed state, the stopper piece 32 protruding from each bracket 20 comes into contact with the lower surface of the roof piece 12 via the elastic sealing material 33, and each connecting reinforcing frame member The stopper piece 17 protruding from the roof piece 16 is connected to the adjacent roof piece 1 through the elastic sealing material 18.
The roof piece 12 is held in a substantially U-shaped stretched state by abutting against the upper surface of the connection reinforcing frame member 16 on the second side.

When it rains in this state, the rainwater flows down into the gutter section 31 due to the slope of the approximately square-shaped roof piece 12, and then flows through the gutter section 31 from the openings at both ends of the gutter section 31 and flows to the left and right sides. It flows into the horizontal drainage channel 34 in the girder 3. Further, rainwater flowing into the horizontal drainage channel 34 is discharged to the outside through the vertical drainage channels 35 provided in the girders 1 and 2.

From the closed state of the roof piece 12, the chain 27
If it is rotated in the opposite direction to the above, the roof piece 12 is moved backward (in the direction of arrow b) from the cart 8A in the opposite direction to the above.
A, 12B are folded and roof pieces 12C, 1 are folded in the same manner.
2D and the roof pieces 12E and 12F are also sequentially folded and set in the open state shown by the solid line in FIG. The above roof piece 12
During the opening/closing operation, the groove wheel 30 is guided by the guide rail 29 on the beam 5 side, so even if the span of the roof piece 12 in the left and right direction is long, it does not cause lateral vibration or the like.
It can be moved smoothly.

[0023] Since the roof piece 12 is made of a rigid plate, rainwater does not accumulate locally on the roof piece 12 in the closed state compared to an awning, and moreover, the roof piece 12 is made of a rigid plate.
By providing a gutter section on the truck side that guides rainwater flowing down from the girder 3 into the horizontal drainage channel 34 on the side of the girder 3, rainwater can be effectively removed without affecting the opening/closing state of the roof piece 12. As a result, the durability of the roof pieces can be increased.

[0024]

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the retractable roof device of the present invention as set forth in claim 1, each pair is made of rigid plates.
A plurality of sets of roof pieces are configured to be opened and closed by the movement of a plurality of carts supported by girders, and a gutter section is provided on the cart side to drain rainwater flowing down from each roof piece in the longitudinal direction of the roof pieces. Therefore, there is no risk of rainwater accumulating on the roof pieces, and rainwater can be drained smoothly and effectively through the gutter regardless of whether the roof pieces are opened or closed, thereby suppressing deterioration or damage caused by rainwater. Can be done.

In particular, according to the second aspect of the invention, by configuring the system so that rainwater flowing into the gutter on the truck side flows into a gutter-like drainage channel formed in the girder that supports the truck, Rainwater drainage processing can be made smoother and the protection effect of roof equipment can be further improved.

[0026] Also, as in the invention as claimed in claim 3, when each roof piece is stretched into a substantially U-shape, the rainwater that protrudes from one side of the reinforcing frame member for connection fixed to the tip of the roof piece is removed. By bringing the stopper piece, which also serves as an intrusion prevention unit, into contact with the top surface of the adjacent roof piece, it is possible to maintain the shape of each roof piece when it is in an extended position, and to prevent rainwater from reaching the hinge member that connects the ends of each set of roof pieces. The intrusion prevention effect can be achieved all at once with a simple configuration.
