Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent play of a door caused by an allowable gap by embedding an elastic projection bar elastically urging the door normally to the opening direction so as to be freely protruded or retracted, in either the hinge side end face of the door or the side face of a column frame adjacent to the end face, in a posture that the door is closed. SOLUTION: An elastic projection bar 3 elastically urging a door normally in the opening direction is embedded in the end face 1 of the door A to be freely protruded or retracted, in a posture that the rotary door A is closed. The projection bar body 3 is contained so as to be freely protruded or retracted in a cylindrical case 5 having an opening 4 at one end thereof and normally protruded from the opening 4 by the pressing force of the spring 6 contained in the case. When the door A is closed, the projection bar 3 is retracted into the case against the spring 6. The door holds the closed posture by a latch but the latch is always urged in the opening direction by the pressing force of the projection bar 3 and as a result, play in the door can be securely prevented even if a gap arises between the latch and the fitting part of the latch.

In the above configuration, when the door A is closed,
As shown in FIG. 2, the projecting rod body 3 retreats into the case 5 against the spring 6. The door is held in the closed position by the latch, but is constantly urged in the opening direction by the pressing force of the projecting rod 3. As a result, even if a gap is formed between the latch and the latch fitting portion, it is possible to reliably prevent rattling of the door. When the latch is disengaged by the handle, the door is naturally opened in a half-open state by the pressing force of the protruding rod 3. For this reason, a handicapped person with severe injury to the limb's motor function can easily open the door only by pushing down the handle of the door in the release direction. If there is a fear that the surface of the column frame B with which the protruding rod body 3 comes into contact may be damaged such as dents, a hard receiving plate or the like may be attached.
