Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a movable outer wall that can be opened, closed, and folded in structures such as gymnasiums and factories.

Problems the invention aims to solve: There was a demand for an exterior wall door that could be opened and closed in any position and to any width in response to changing weather conditions for daylighting and ventilation in gymnasiums with tennis courts, factories, etc.

However, regarding conventional folding doors installed in openings, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-33004 and Publication No. 55-25083
As shown in the publication, the door is made up of a number of elongated rectangular panels that can be bent at their edges.
A device that can be opened and closed only from the center or from one side of the opening, and that can be opened and closed to any width at any position of the opening, has not been put to practical use.

This invention was developed with the aim of meeting the above-mentioned needs.

[Structure of the idea]

This device consists of a number of mutually independent elongated rectangular unit outer walls that can contact each other laterally to close the opening in the same plane, and the unit outer wall has two sets of rails laid in parallel above and below the opening. , each of which is rotatably supported substantially at the center of the independently running trolley and fixedly fixed at an arbitrary angle with respect to the rail direction, and each adjacent unit outer wall at the opening closed position is connected to one of the different sets. This movable outer wall achieves the above object by having a structure in which it is attached alternately to carts running on rails.

〔Example〕

This embodiment shows an outer wall that serves as an opening for a gymnasium.This outer wall is made up of a large number of independent, elongated rectangular unit outer walls 1, and as shown in Fig. The opening can be closed in the same plane, and can be rotated to be half-opened as shown in FIG. 2, or moved and rotated to be fully opened as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It can also be opened to any width at any position.

Two sets of rails 2, 2, 3, 3 are provided above and below the opening in the outer wall A, respectively, and the upper rails 2, 2 are groove-shaped, and a slide wheel 4 protrudes above each unit outer wall 1. The lower rails 3, 3 are I-shaped and are installed so that a wheel 5 protruding under each unit outer wall 1 can run.
The wheels 5 are pivoted in pairs to both ends of the arms 7 of the truck 6, and each unit outer wall 1 is supported by each upper and lower truck 6. Furthermore, a rotating shaft 8 protrudes from approximately the center of the truck 6, and each unit outer wall 1 is pivotally supported around this rotating shaft 8. Incidentally, the length of the cart 6, that is, the length between the cars 5, 5 is longer than the thickness of the unit outer wall 1. Therefore, the trolleys 6 are arranged so that they are alternately positioned with respect to each of the two sets of rails 2, 2, 3, and 3 so that they can travel independently. That is, the carts 6 to which the unit outer walls 1 adjacent to each other are attached are arranged so as to run alternately on any of the rails 2, 2, 3, 3 of different sets.

In addition, in order to stop the unit outer wall 1 at an arbitrary position with respect to the rail 3, a gripping metal fitting 11 is screwed onto a spindle 10 that is pivotally connected to a central mounting metal fitting 9 of the trolley 6, and by rotating the spindle 10, The rail 3 can be clamped between the metal fittings 11.

The unit outer wall 1 is manually run on a rail,
Also, although each can be rotated individually, it is necessary to rotate and stop at the required angle.
A stopper mechanism is required for this purpose, and the stopper can be designed in various ways. For example, the seventh
8, the rod 13 is moved up and down by the handle 12, and the tip of the rod 13 is locked to the cart 6 and the upper and lower base plates 17.

In addition, FIGS. 8 and 9 show the worm and the worm wheel 15 being operated with the handle 12 and the rod 13
The rod is moved up and down, and the pin 16 at the tip of the rod is inserted into the base plate 17 to lock the rotation.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, a removable positioning steel strip 18 is attached between each unit outer wall 1, and the length of the steel strip 18 can be adjusted by providing a plurality of mounting holes for this steel strip 18. By keeping it moist, the opening angle of the unit outer wall 1 can be adjusted.

[Effect of idea]

This idea consists of a number of independent, elongated rectangular unit outer walls that can abut each other horizontally to close the opening in the same plane, and each unit is rotatable and movable. Each can be tilted at a required angle and locked with an appropriate stopper to allow sunlight and ventilation from the closed state. Furthermore, by moving the unit outer wall, it is possible to set the unit to a half-open state or a fully open state at any position.

Furthermore, even if the unit outer walls are large and heavy, they can be moved because they are each supported by independent trolleys.
In addition, two sets of parallel rails are provided on the upper and lower sides, and each bogie is arranged so that it can run alternately with respect to either of the two sets of rails. Since the rails are designed to move along different rails, the rails can have a small cross-section, and even when each unit outer wall is moved in a fully open state, the carts move along different rails, so the carts do not collide with each other. The unit outer wall can be brought into contact with the unit sideways.
