The latch receiver is equipped with a kicking body that has a push-up cam that pushes up the tool and a kick-out cam that kicks the pushed-up running tool with the latch out of the latch receiver, so that the folding door body in the closed state can be moved in the opening direction. By causing the traveling implement with a latch running along the latch receiver to collide with the kicking body, the traveling implement with the latch can be kicked out of the latch receiver by the push-up cam of the kicking body. By moving the folding door body in the closed state in the opening direction, the partition body can be folded.Compared to the conventional structure in which a large number of folding door bodies each have a handle handle, the overall structure is simpler and the handle handle can be folded. can be avoided from getting in the way, and the opening operation is simply by pushing in the opening direction, making it possible to easily open many folding door bodies. Since a latch receiver is formed across the partition body and a running tool with a latch is provided at the pivot connection point of the partition body, it is possible to avoid attaching an auxiliary rail to the rail and to avoid degrading the appearance by widening the rail width. In addition, there is no need to protrude the auxiliary runner from a location away from the pivot connection point of the partition element body, and the appearance can be improved in this respect as well. This eliminates the need for spring bodies, inclined pieces, etc., and has the advantage that the number of parts can be reduced and the structure can be simplified.
