[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a panel shutter provided with a seal member that seals between a panel and a guide rail when the shutter is fully closed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
5 is a front view showing a conventional panel shutter, FIG. 6 is a schematic enlarged vertical sectional side view of the panel shutter, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.
In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a pair of left and right guide rails disposed on both sides of a shutter opening / closing opening. These guide rails 1 have a substantially U-shaped cross section having a vertically long panel lifting / lowering guide opening 1a on each facing surface. It consists of a member.
[0003]
Reference numeral 2 denotes a panel storage box (hereinafter referred to as a storage box) disposed above the guide rail 1. Reference numeral 3 denotes a pair of left and right panel lifting / lowering drive systems disposed in the storage box 2 above and separated from the two guide rails 1. A pair of left and right panel linking chains (hereinafter simply referred to as chains) 5 meshing with the sprockets and hanging down in the two guide rails 1 are supported by the chains 4 on both sides thereof. And a plurality of upper and lower panels for vertically opening and closing, and these panels 5 constitute a shutter curtain.
[0004]
M is an opening and closing device such as a geared motor for driving the sprocket 3 to rotate forward and reverse, 6 is a storage rail that ascends into the storage box 2 from the guide rail 1 and supports the panels 5 passing through the sprocket 3 sequentially in parallel. R1 is an upper guide roller pivotally supported on both upper sides of each panel 5. The upper guide roller R1 of the panel 5 which has risen between the left and right guide rails 1 and passed through the sprocket 3 rolls on the storage rail 6. It is supposed to.
[0005]
In the above, seals for contacting the front and rear surfaces on the indoor side and the outdoor side at both ends of each panel 5, as shown in FIG. A material (guide bead) 7 is attached, and the sealing material 7 seals a gap generated between the opening end of the panel lifting / lowering guide opening 1 a and the panel 5.
[0006]
When the sprocket 3 in FIG. 6 is driven to rotate in the panel extension direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 6) in the fully opened state in which the panel 5 is stored in the storage box 2, the chain 4 meshed with the sprocket 3 Each panel 5 is fed out between the guide rails 1 through the guide rails, so that the space between the two guide rails 1 is closed by each panel 5. A gap between the panel 5 and the panel 5 is sealed with a sealing material 7, thereby achieving smoke and sound insulation when the panel is fully closed.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional panel shutter is configured as described above. When the panel is fully closed, the sealing member 7 for sealing a gap between the opening end of the panel lifting / lowering guide opening 1a of the guide rail 1 and the panel 5 is provided on the guide rail. Since the panel 1 is attached to the opening end of the panel elevating guide opening 1a, there is a problem that when the panel is fully opened, the sealing material 7 on the guide rail 1 side is exposed to the outside and the design appearance is impaired.
[0008]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and a sealing material for sealing a gap between the guide rail and the panel when the panel is fully closed is not exposed to the outside when the panel is fully opened. It is an object of the present invention to provide a panel shutter with an improved aesthetic appearance.
[0009]
Panel shutter according to the present invention, arranged on both sides of the shutter opening and closing the opening, a pair of right and left guide rails on respective opposing surface having an elongated panel lifting guide opening, their in those of panel lifting guide opening A panel including upper and lower multiple-stage panels that are fitted and engaged so that both sides thereof can move up and down so as to move up and down between the two guide rails, and a seal member that seals a gap between the panels and the two guide rails. In the shutter, each of the panels includes left and right vertical stiles that are dropped as compared to the upper and lower horizontal frames, and the front and rear surfaces of the upper and lower horizontal frames are flush with the vertical stiles. is attached to become gap cover, the mounting of the sealing material made of the guide bead on both sides of each panel, open the panel lifting guide opening of the guide rail the sealing material to the panel fully closed It is obtained by adapted to abut the end.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a partial front view of a panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a left side view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional plan view showing a related configuration of left and right guide rails and the panel, and FIG. FIG. 8 is an enlarged sectional view showing a main part on one side in FIG. 3, and the same or corresponding parts as in FIGS.
In the figure, reference numeral 7 denotes a sealing material (guide bead) attached along one surface on the outdoor side on both left and right sides of each panel 5, and this sealing material 7 is used for a panel elevating guide of the guide rail 1 when the panel is fully closed. It comes into contact with the opening end of the opening 1a.
[0011]
Here, a detailed example structure of each panel 5 will be described. Each panel 5 includes an upper horizontal frame 51, a lower horizontal frame 52, left and right vertical frames 53, an intermediate vertical frame 54, and a panel face plate 55. The left and right vertical frames 53 have a drop-down structure that is thinner than the upper horizontal frame 51 and the lower horizontal frame 52.
[0012]
When the vertical frame 53 having such a surface drop configuration is fitted into the panel lifting guide opening 1a of the guide rail 1, a large gap is generated between the vertical frame 53 and the opening end of the panel lifting guide opening 1a. The vertical frame 53 is provided with a gap cover 11 having a U-shaped cross section to minimize the gap.
[0013]
In this manner, the gap cover 11 attached to the left and right vertical frames 53 has the outer wall surfaces of the both-side bent pieces 11a flush with the front and rear surfaces of the upper horizontal frame 51 and the lower horizontal frame 52, and It covers the missing part.
[0014]
In the embodiment illustrated as described above, the sealing material 7 extends over the left and right vertical frames 53, the upper horizontal frame 51, and the lower horizontal frame 52 at the left and right end sides of the panel 5 in series. It is attached to the entire height direction on one outer side. The sealing member 7 may be attached to both front and rear sides of the panel 5 on both left and right sides.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the panel that moves up and down and opens and closes between the left and right guide rails has left and right vertical stiles that are dropped as compared to the upper horizontal frame and the lower horizontal frame. Attaching a gap cover flush with the front and rear surfaces of the upper horizontal frame and the lower horizontal frame, attaching a seal material made of a guide bead to both ends of each panel, and attaching the seal material to the guide rail when the panel is fully closed. Since it is configured to be brought into contact with the opening end of the panel elevating guide opening, it is generated between the panel elevating guide opening of the guide rail by the left and right vertical stiles that are dropped compared to the upper horizontal frame and the lower horizontal frame. it is possible to minimized clearance by the gap cover, since the panel is fully closed the sealing material does not remain in the guide rails, the conventional field that had attached to the sealing member to the guide rail Without sealing material such that exposed to the outside to the panel fully closed as, Thus, the panel is fully closed aesthetics there is an effect that is not as compromised by exposure of the sealant.
