Description

The present invention relates to a stopper for a runner attached to a door body.

A stopper is known that detachably holds a runner attached to a door body such as a sliding door or a folding door at the side end of a guide rail, and prevents the door body from colliding with a frame body. In addition to holding the door body in a fixed position, this type of stopper is also used to adjust the gap between the door body and the frame and the gap between the door bodies in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the frame and variations in construction. A coordinating role is also required.

As a stopper capable of adjusting the position of a door body, a stopper is known that is interposed between a runner and a frame body and is attached by screwing at the end of a guide rail (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-138743

With the above stopper configuration, the door body position can be adjusted by changing the screw tightening position along the guide rail, but since the screw for attaching the stopper to the guide rail is inserted between the runner and the frame, space is required. For this reason, a certain gap is created between the runner and the frame, which poses a problem in that when the gap between the runner and the frame needs to be made as small as possible, there are restrictions on adjusting the gap. . Additionally, if the screws attached to the guide rail become loose, there is a problem in that the position of the door body cannot be adjusted sufficiently.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has an object to appropriately adjust the mounting position of a door body attached to a frame via a runner, and to securely fix the adjusted position of the door body.
