Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a door switch. More specifically, the present invention relates to a door opening/closing device that can hold a double-folding window or door at an arbitrary opening degree and requires a small installation space.

[Prior Art] As a conventional door switch, there is one shown in FIG. 17, for example. This switch D consists of a stay 53 that is rotatably attached to the window 51 side with a mounting bracket 52 and a stopper 55 that is fixed to the window frame 54 side.If you turn the screw 56 on the top of the stopper 55 with your finger, the stay 53 slides through a hole in the stopper 55, and the stay 53 is fixed in the stopper 55 by turning the screw 56 in the opposite direction.

When in use, when the screw 56 is turned and the window 51 is pushed and pulled, the stay 53 follows suit and the window 51 is opened and closed, and when the screw 56 is tightened at a position halfway through opening and closing, the stopper 55 is activated. The window 51 is adapted to be held in its open and closed position.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In conventional door openers, the stay 5 can be moved at any position.
3 is difficult to secure, and there is a problem in that the window suddenly closes or opens suddenly when the wind blows.

In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a door opening/closing device that can reliably hold windows and doors at arbitrary opening degrees.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An elongated outer cylinder having a plurality of engagement recesses along its longitudinal direction; an elongated inner member that is telescopically inserted into the outer cylinder; an engagement member having a base fixed to the inner member and made of a plate spring member whose engagement portion can elastically engage with the engagement recess; and an engagement member that slides along the longitudinal direction of the outer cylinder. the engaging member is slid into a position where the engaging member is pressed and fixed in a state where the engaging member is engaged with the engaging recess. a locking mechanism configured to be locked by being locked;
The locking mechanism includes a plurality of convex stoppers formed along the longitudinal direction of the outer cylinder, and a recess is formed in the lock mechanism to be able to elastically engage any one of the stoppers. .

Note that the door operating device of the present invention can be applied to windows, doors, and other types of doors that open on double doors in general. However, in this specification, unless otherwise specified, "window" refers to all types of double-hung windows, doors, and doors, and "window frame" is used to refer to their frames. There is.

[Function] The present invention has a locking mechanism that can lock the engagement member at any position within the outer cylinder,
Since this works by engaging with a stopper formed on the outer cylinder, when the locking mechanism is activated, the window will not close or open naturally even if the wind blows.

[Example] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

A perspective view of the related switch, and FIGS. 15 and 16 are a plan view and a front view of the switch.

In Figures 1 to 3, 1 is a switch, 2 is a window, and 3
is the window frame.

The switch 1 has an elongated outer cylinder 5 and an elongated inner member 6, and can be attached to the window frame 3 and the window 2 using attachment fittings 7 and 8. In addition, the mounting bracket 7,
8 can be of any shape depending on the window 2 and window frame 3 to be installed; for example, the first
4 to 16 may be used. The mounting bracket 8a shown in this figure is of a type that allows the insertion member 6 to be attached to the lower notch of the window 2 from the back side. Further, the mounting bracket 7a has an eight-legged shape in order to support the outer cylinder 5 at a high level.

The outer cylinder 5 will be explained based on FIGS. 4 and 5. The outer cylinder 5 has a wide cross-section over most of its longitudinal direction. The side walls 11 on both sides of the outer cylinder 5 extend straight in the longitudinal direction,
The upper edge 11a of the side wall 11 extends slightly inward. The edge of the upper edge 11a is formed into a continuous wave shape. Note that at the end of the upper edge 11a, the protruding piece 11b is bent inward and diagonally downward to prevent the insertion member 6 from coming off. On the other hand, a large number of protrusions 14 are formed on the bottom plate 13 of the outer cylinder 5 along the longitudinal direction. This protrusion 14 is a stopper for operating a locking mechanism which will be described later. It is preferable to form the outer cylinder 5 by press working from a metal such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum in order to maintain sufficient strength and manufacture it at low cost.

The inserting member 6 will be explained based on FIGS. 6 and 7. The inner member 6 is a long member of the same size as the outer cylinder 5, and has a cross-sectional shape and dimensions that allow it to be telescopically inserted into the outer cylinder 5. The illustrated inner member 6 has a wide cross-section, and like the outer cylinder 5, it can be manufactured by press working from metal such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum to achieve sufficient strength and low cost. It is preferable to do so.

An engagement member made of a leaf spring 9 is attached near one end of the insertion member 6. This leaf spring 9
consists of a mounting part 9a and an engaging part 9b, and the mounting part 9
A has a U-shaped cross section and is fixed to the bottom surface of the insert member 6 by a rivet 9c. Engagement part 9
b consists of a thin spring plate extending from the mounting portion 9a, the tip of which is wound into a cylindrical shape, into which a headed pin 9d is inserted from below. This pin 9d functions to prevent the cylinder of the engaging portion 9b from being crushed even if force is applied during locking. The engaging portions 9b face the cutout portions 13 on both sides of the inner member 6, and are designed to elastically engage with the corrugation of the upper edge 11a of the side wall 11 of the outer cylinder 5. In other words, the leaf spring 9 is bent inward when an external force is applied, so that it can climb over the peaks of the upper edge 11a of the wavy side wall 11. Note that a plate 6b is fixed to the rear part of the mounting portion 9a of the leaf spring 9, and comes into contact with the protruding piece 11b of the outer cylinder 5 to function as a stopper for preventing the inner member 6 from coming off. ing.

8 and 9 show the state in which the inner insertion member 6 is inserted into the outer cylinder 5. In FIG. 8, the inner member 6 is deeply inserted into the outer cylinder 5, and in FIG. 9, the inner member 6 is almost pulled out from the outer cylinder 5. When the inner member 6 is moved in the longitudinal direction within the outer cylinder 5 in this way, the leaf spring 9
It is moved by repeatedly engaging and disengaging from each waveform of a.

The locking mechanism is shown in Figures 10-13. This locking mechanism locks or releases the engagement of the leaf spring 9 at any position within the outer cylinder 5, and includes the outer cylinder 5, a square tubular knob member 15 placed over the outer cylinder 5, and is set between.

As shown in FIG. 10, the knob member 15 has an arrow 18 formed on the surface of the box that indicates the locking direction, and a wedge 1 on the inner surface of the box.
9 is formed. The wedge 19 is the leaf spring 9
is inserted between the two engaging parts 9b of the engaging part 9.
This prevents b from bending inward. A recess 22 is formed above the wedge 19, that is, on the inner peripheral surface of the knob member 15. In addition, wedge 19
It is preferable that the knob member 15 in which the recessed portion 22 is formed is integrally molded from synthetic resin, aluminum die-casting, or the like.

11 and 12 show the locked state, and FIG. 13 shows the unlocked state. Note that in FIGS. 12 and 13, the wedge 19 is shown with hatching in order to make it easier to understand the positional relationship.

In the normal state (FIG. 13), the knob member 15 is moved to the left in the figure, and the wedge 19 is separated from the leaf spring 9 and does not come into contact with it. Therefore, since the leaf spring 9 can be freely bent, the knob member 15
When in the illustrated position, the inner member 6 can freely expand and contract within the outer cylinder 5.

From the above state, by moving the knob member 15 with your finger in the direction of the arrow 18 formed on its surface, it can be brought into the locked state (FIGS. 11 and 12). When the knob member 15 is moved, the recess 22 on the inner surface of the knob member 15 passes over the protrusion 14 of the outer cylinder 5 and is restrained in the illustrated state. At this time, the wedge 19 fits between the two engaging parts 9b of the leaf spring 9, and the leaf spring 9 cannot be bent, so that the state in which the engaging part 9b is engaged with the recess in the side wall 11 of the outer cylinder 6 is maintained. Retained. Therefore, in this state, the leaf spring 9 is restrained at the position where it engages with the side wall 11 of the outer cylinder 5, and cannot freely expand and contract with respect to the outer cylinder 5. In other words, outer cylinder 5
The projection 14 acts as a stopper.

Next, the actions of the switch 1 as described above will be explained in steps 1 to 3.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. If the grip member 15 is pulled in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow 18, the insert member 6 will be removed.
Since the window 2 freely expands and contracts with respect to the outer cylinder, the window 2 can be opened and closed freely by holding and moving the window 2 by hand. that time,
Since the inner member 6 only moves in and out of the outer cylinder 5, the switch does not protrude into the window frame 3. When the knob member 15 is moved in the direction of the arrow 18 with the window 2 open, closed, or partially opened, the locking mechanism is activated and the movement of the insert member 6 is restrained. Therefore, the window 2 remains open, closed, or partially opened. Moreover, when the window 2 tries to open or close due to an external force, that force is converted into a force that tries to push the two engaging parts 9b of the leaf spring 9 inward, but that force is applied by the wedge 19. It was accepted,
Since no force is generated in the direction of expansion and contraction of the insertion member 6, it is mechanically reasonable and extremely strong. Therefore, even if the wind blows, the inconvenience of the window 2 being opened or closed unexpectedly will not occur. Furthermore, the present invention has the advantage that the switch does not protrude inward when the window is opened or closed, so the installation space is small, and another inner window can be freely attached to the inside of the window.

[Effect of the invention] In this invention, the window can be opened to any desired opening degree,
This state can be maintained reliably.
