Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a retractable roof that can be retracted to one side whenever necessary.

Conventionally, a roof that can be expanded and contracted has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-54754, in which multiple layers of roof panels are stacked one on top of the other and the panels are connected using long holes and screws. The roof could only expand and contract by the length of the hole, and the range of expansion and contraction of the roof as a whole was not large.

In addition, as a roof that can be opened and closed for greenhouses, etc., a roofing material that can be folded freely along parallel beams set at regular intervals was developed in 1973.
This was proposed in Publication No. 32247, but since there was no gutter at the tip of the roofing material, there was a drawback that if it rained while the roof was open, rainwater would drip from the tip.

An object of the present invention is to provide a retractable roof that can be used as a wide roof, has good rainwater flow and appearance when stored and unfolded, and can be smoothly stored and unfolded.

It is configured to receive rainwater from a gutter 29 formed integrally with the gutter 6. Rainwater flowing into the gutter 30 flows out from a rainwater outlet 18 provided downstream of the gutter 30. Since the structure of the support guide member 1 is symmetrical to that of the support guide member 1, a description thereof will be omitted.

Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of an intermediate support guide member that connects two or more sets of roofs horizontally, with roof unit plates 3 on both sides.
It has support guide paths 10 to 14 for supporting 1 to 7, and integrally has troughs 46 and 56 on both sides of the lower end thereof. These gutters 46 and 56 are also connected to the eaves roof unit plate 3.
Regardless of the position of the gutter 29, which is integrated with the eaves cover 16
A rainwater outlet (not shown) is provided.

Although the operation of storing and deploying each roof unit plate is clear from the illustrations and explanations above, the operation will be briefly explained. When the eave roof unit plate 3 located at the lowest position in the storage position is moved forward by an endless cable (not shown) provided on the support guide members 1, 2, 40, as it moves, First, the upward projecting edge 20 provided on the rear end edge of the eave roof unit plate 3 engages with the downward projecting edge 25 of the front end edge of the roof unit plate 4 located above the eave, and the roof unit plate 4 is moved forward. Pull it out. Then, the upward projecting edge 26 of the rear edge of the roof unit plate 4 engages with the downward projecting edge 25 of the front edge of the roof unit plate 5 located above it, and the roof unit plate 5 is pulled forward. Then, the adjacent upper roof unit plates are successively pulled forward one after another, and all the roof unit plates are automatically pulled out to the unfolded position. At this time, if the movement of the eaves roof unit plate 3 is stopped midway, the roof will be partially open.

Also, when each roof unit plate is in the unfolded position,
When the endless cable is rotated in the opposite direction,
The eaves roof unit plate 3 moves toward the storage position, and as it moves, the upper part of the reinforcing abutment member 22 on the rear edge of the eaves roof unit plate 3 first touches the reinforcing abutment member on the rear edge of the roof unit plate 4. abuts against the downwardly downward protruding edge 21 of 22;
The roof unit plate 4 is moved to the storage position in an overlapping state above the eaves roof unit plate 3. Eaves roof unit plate 3
As the continues to move into the storage position, then,
The upper part of the reinforcing abutting member 22 on the rear edge of the roof unit plate 4 abuts the downward sagging edge 21 of the reinforcing abutting member 22 on the rear edge of the adjacent upper roof unit plate 5, and the roof unit plate 5 Unit plate 3 and roof unit plate 4 are overlapped above each other and moved toward the storage position, and the adjacent upper roof unit plates are sequentially moved toward the storage position, and all roof units are The plates are stored under the fixed roof unit plate 8 in an overlapping state.

A gutter 29 is integrally formed at the lower part of the eaves cover 16.

Rainwater on the eaves roof unit plate 3 and the roof unit plates 4 to 7 is collected in the gutter 29 of the eave roof unit plate 3, the gutter 30 of the support guide members 1 and 2, and the gutter 46, 56 of the intermediate support guide member 40. The rainwater is discharged to the outside from the rainwater outlet 18.

It goes without saying that the constituent materials of the roof unit plates may be appropriately selected from various metal plates including various light alloy plates, reinforced synthetic resin plates, etc. in addition to duralumin plates.

Since the retractable roof of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it can easily be constructed as an on-site assembly structure or a prefabricated roof structure in which the entire assembly is completed in a factory, if necessary.

As described above, the retractable roof of the present invention is supported and guided by support guide members arranged in parallel with each other at a required interval, so that both ends of the roof are supported and guided in the longitudinal direction of the support guide members. It has a plurality of roof unit plates movably installed on the roof unit, and when the plurality of roof unit plates are in the unfolded position, the eaves roof unit plate located at the forefront is moved between the pair of support guide members. By moving toward the rear, all the roof unit plates are stacked one after another under the roof unit plate located behind them, and all the roof unit plates are stacked vertically to create a fixed roof unit plate that is located at the rearmost part. When the plurality of roof unit plates mentioned above are in the overlapping storage position, each roof unit plate can be moved forward by moving the eave roof unit plate located at the lowest position forward. Each roof unit plate has an engaging device so that it is automatically pulled forward sequentially and all the roof unit plates are connected at their front and rear edges to a deployed state, and the eave roof unit plate has an engagement device at its front edge, and a support The guide members each have a gutter along the longitudinal direction, and the intermediate support guide member among the support guide members has a support guide path for the plurality of roof unit plates on both sides thereof, and a support guide path on both sides of the lower end thereof. Since it has a gutter, rainwater flows smoothly from the top surface when stored, and from the top to the bottom when unfolded, and rainwater always flows from the top to the bottom when stored, unfolded, and in between. Since it is collected in the plate gutter and the gutter of the support guide member and disposed of outside, there is no rain dripping from around the roof or intrusion of rainwater into the room, and the intermediate support guide member provides a wide expandable roof. The operation is easy and simple, as storage and deployment are performed sequentially by simply moving the front eaves roof unit plate.
