Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a booth. [Background technology]

[0002] There is known a booth that forms a space separated from the surroundings and has an opening for users to enter and exit that slides left and right to open and close (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The sliding door has a handle that a user can hang on or grab with their hand or fingers when sliding the sliding door. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-63390 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The handle of the sliding door is provided near the end of the sliding door on the door tip side. Therefore, when a user who has entered the booth closes the sliding door and performs work or the like at a position away from the door tip side of the sliding door and then tries to open the sliding door, he or she must move to the door tip side of the sliding door and place his or her hand or finger on the handle, which is inconvenient. In addition, in the case of a wheelchair user, opening and closing the sliding door by placing his or her hand or finger on the handle on the door tip side or by holding the handle on the door tip side is inconvenient because it requires a large twist of the body to move the arms or to move the wheelchair halfway. In particular, when the opening is wide and the sliding amount of the sliding door is large, the amount of movement required to move the wheelchair halfway is large. If the inside of the booth is large enough that it is difficult for the wheelchair to change direction, it becomes even more inconvenient.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a booth in which a sliding door for opening and closing an opening inside can be easily slid. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the booth of the present invention has an opening through which a user enters and exits, an opening side wall portion located on one left-right side of the opening and separating the inside and outside of the booth, and a sliding door that slides left-right to open and close the opening, wherein when the opening is opened, the sliding door overlaps with the inside of the opening side wall portion, and the sliding door has a door body and a plurality of handholds provided on the inside of the door body at left-right intervals, each of which can be used by a user to place their hands on.

[0007] In the present invention, a plurality of handholds for a user to place his / her hands on when sliding the sliding door in the left / right direction are provided at intervals on the interior side of the door body, so that a user inside the booth (room) can select a handhold at a position that is easy to place his / her hands on depending on his / her position and posture, and can easily slide the sliding door by placing his / her hands on that handhold. When placing his / her hands on the handholds to slide the sliding door in the left / right direction, by changing the handhold part midway, the sliding door can be easily slid without the user moving or changing his / her posture significantly. The handhold part refers to a part or portion where a user can place his / her hand or finger on or grip to apply force when sliding the sliding door in the left / right direction.

[0008] In the booth according to the present invention, the handholds may be provided at both the trailing edge of the door body on one side in the left-right direction and the leading edge of the door body on the other side.

[0009] Since the handholds are provided at both ends of the door body in the left-right direction, compared to when the handholds are provided at the middle part of the door body in the left-right direction, the user can easily intuitively recognize the position of the handholds and the design of the sliding door can be improved. Both ends of the door body are relatively strong parts provided with, for example, frame materials. By providing the handholds, to which force is applied when the user moves the sliding door, at both ends of the door body that are strong, the handholds can be provided in a stable state and there is no need to provide a separate reinforcing material for attaching the handholds, making it easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

[0010] In the booth according to the present invention, the handle portion provided at the end of the door tail side may be formed with a recess extending in the vertical direction and opening toward the inside of the room.

[0011] With this configuration, the user can slide the sliding door by hooking his / her finger on the recess. Such a grip part can reduce the amount of protrusion from the door body, compared to a rod-shaped handle that does not protrude from the door body or is attached to the door body and is gripped by the user. In particular, the end of the tail side of the door is located near the boundary between the opening and the side wall of the opening when the sliding door closes the opening, and is therefore located in the middle of the left-right direction inside the booth. Since the grip part located in the middle of the left-right direction inside the booth does not protrude from the door body or protrudes only a little from the door body, a large space inside the booth can be secured. When a fixture such as a desk is provided inside the booth adjacent to the side wall of the opening, the fixture can be placed closer to the side wall of the opening, compared to a case where a grip part such as a rod-shaped handle that is attached to the door body and is gripped by the user is provided at the end of the tail side of the door.

[0012] In the booth of the present invention, the opening side wall portion has a pillar portion provided at the other end in the left-right direction, and a wall panel portion connected to the pillar portion and extending to one side in the left-right direction, the indoor side end of the pillar portion protrudes toward the indoor side beyond the indoor side surface of the wall panel portion, and the handhold portion provided at the trailing edge end may be positioned in a position that overlaps with the pillar portion when viewed from the left-right direction.

[0013] By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide the grab portion so that it does not protrude from the door body, or so that the amount of protrusion from the door body is small.

[0014] In the booth of the present invention, the handle portion provided at the end of the door tail side may be in contact with the pillar portion or in close proximity with a gap when the sliding door closes the opening.

[0015] With this configuration, the gap between the rear end of the sliding door and the side wall of the opening is eliminated or reduced, thereby improving the soundproofing performance of the booth.

[0016] In the booth of the present invention, of the multiple handholds, at least the handhold provided on the end side of one of the left and right sides of the door body is located in a position where a user on the indoor side of the opening side wall can place his or her hand on it when the sliding door closes the opening, and of the multiple handholds, at least the handhold provided on the end side of the other left and right side of the door body may be located in a position where a user on the indoor side of the opening side wall can place his or her hand on it when the sliding door opens the opening.

[0017] With this configuration, when the user is inside the booth and on the indoor side of the opening side wall away from the opening, the handhold is positioned in a position where the user can place their hand whether the sliding door is closing the opening or opening it, so the sliding door can be slid easily.

[0018] The booth of the present invention may have a door-end side wall portion located on the other left-right side of the opening and extending in a direction intersecting the left-right direction, and the door-end side wall portion may be provided with a door-end contact portion with which the door trailing side end portion on the other left-right side of the door body contacts when the opening is closed.

[0019] With this configuration, the inside of the booth spreads from the door-end side wall to one side in the left-right direction where the opening side wall is disposed. A user who enters the inside of the booth will perform work, etc., in an area on one side in the left-right direction (the side where the opening side wall is disposed) of the opening. That is, the user will be in a position away from the door-end side end of the sliding door that closes the opening. In the present invention, the sliding door is provided with a plurality of handholds spaced apart in the left-right direction, so that when the sliding door closes the opening, the sliding door can be easily slid by putting hands on the handholds located on the door tail side. Since the door-end contact part that contacts the door tail side end of the door body in the state where the opening is closed is provided on the door-end side wall, it is not necessary to provide a wall part extending in the left-right direction on the other side of the opening in order to provide the door-end contact part, and the booth can have a simple structure. Since the inside of the booth spreads only to one side in the left-right direction from the door-end side wall to the side where the opening side wall is disposed, the booth can be made more compact in shape than when it spreads on both sides in the left-right direction. Effect of the Invention

[0020] According to the present invention, the sliding door for opening and closing the opening inside the booth can be easily slid. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0040] As shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 7, in the closed state, the door-end side edge material 44 of the sliding door 4 contacts the second vertical frame portion 82. The second vertical frame portion 82 corresponds to the door-end contact portion. The second side wall portion 3B to which the second vertical frame portion 82 is connected corresponds to the door-end side wall portion. As shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 8, in the closed state, the door-end side edge material 45 of the sliding door 4 is disposed on the indoor 13 side of the pillar portion 63 and is close to the pillar portion 63. The vicinity of the end portion 454a of the door-end side edge material 45 on the outdoor 14 side is disposed with a small gap between the end portion 454 of the door-end side edge material 45 and the surface 63a on one side in the left-right direction of the pillar portion 63. The door-end side edge material 45 may contact the surface 63a on one side in the left-right direction of the pillar portion 63. The door-end side edge material 45 may contact the surface 63a on one side in the left-right direction of the pillar portion 63 via a cushioning material. In the closed state, the door front handle 46 is positioned near the edge 12b on the other left-right side of the opening 12, and the door trailing handle 47 is positioned near the edge 12a on one left-right side of the opening 12.

[0041] As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 10, in the open state, the leading edge member 44 of the sliding door 4 is disposed near the pillar 63, i.e., near the edge 12a on one side in the left-right direction of the opening 12. As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 11, the trailing edge member 45 is disposed near the first vertical frame member 81 on the room 13 side of the opening lateral wall member 6. As a result, the trailing handle 47 is disposed near the first vertical frame member 81 on the room 13 side of the opening lateral wall member 6. In this embodiment, the trailing handle 47 (leading edge member 45) is disposed on the other left-right side of the first vertical frame member 81 with a gap therebetween.

[0042] 3 and 5, the booth 1 of this embodiment has a top panel 15 used by a user attached to one side in the left-right direction of the room 13. When a wheelchair user 16 uses the booth 1, it is assumed that the user can use the top panel 15 by entering the room 13 from the opening 12, changing his / her orientation so as to face one side in the left-right direction, i.e., the first side wall portion 3A, and moving to that side in the left-right direction. It is assumed that the user 16 who uses the top panel 15 uses the top panel 15 at a position on the room side of the opening side wall portion 6.

[0043] When the user 16 changes the sliding door 4 from an open state to a closed state, the user grasps the door-end handle 46 and extends his / her hand backward (to the other side in the left-right direction) to move the sliding door 4 to the other side in the left-right direction. If the sliding door 4 does not close when the user extends his / her hand backward and it is difficult to extend his / her hand further to move the door-end handle 46 to the other side in the left-right direction, the user can close the sliding door 4 by switching from the door-end handle 46 to the door-end handle 47 and moving the sliding door 4 to the other side in the left-right direction. If the user 16 can reach the door-end handle 47 of the sliding door 4 that is in the open state from the beginning, the user can hook his / her finger on the recess 457 of the door-end handle 47 to move the sliding door 4 to the other side in the left-right direction to the closed state. In the open state, at least the door-end handle 46 of the door-end handle 46 and the door-end handle 47 is located at a position where the user 16 using the top plate 15 can grasp it.

[0044] When the user 16 moves the sliding door 4 from the closed state to the open state, the trailing edge handle 47 is disposed near the pillar 63 at the edge 12a on one side of the left-right direction of the opening 12, so the user puts his / her hand on the trailing edge handle 47 to move the sliding door 4 to one side in the left-right direction. If the sliding door 4 does not open when the user stretches his / her hand forward and it is difficult to stretch the hand further to move the trailing edge handle 47 to one side in the left-right direction, the user can move the sliding door 4 to the open state by switching from the trailing edge handle 47 to the leading edge handle 46 and moving the sliding door 4 to one side in the left-right direction. When the sliding door 4 is in the closed state, at least the trailing edge handle 47 of the leading edge handle 46 and the trailing edge handle 47 is disposed in a position where the user 16 using the top plate 15 can hold it.

[0045] Next, the action and effect of the booth according to this embodiment will be described. In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, a door-leading handle 46 that a user places his / her hand on or holds when sliding the sliding door 4 in the left-right direction is provided on the indoor side of the door-leading end portion 4b of the sliding door 4, and a door-tailing handle 47 is provided on the indoor side of the door-tailing end portion 4a of the sliding door 4. That is, two handles 46, 47 (handle portions) are provided on the indoor 13 side of the door body 49 with a gap therebetween in the left-right direction. This allows a user inside the booth 1 (indoor 13) to easily slide the sliding door 4 by placing his / her hand on the handle 46, 47 at a position that he / she can reach from his / her current position and posture. When placing his / her hand on any of the handles to slide the sliding door 4 in the left-right direction, the user can easily slide the sliding door 4 without moving or changing his / her posture by changing the handle he / she places his / her hand on midway.

[0046] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the handles 46, 47 are provided at both ends of the door body 49 in the left-right direction, so that the user can easily intuitively recognize the positions of the handles 46, 47 and the design of the sliding door 4 can be improved, compared to when the handles are provided at the middle part of the sliding door 4 in the left-right direction. Both ends of the sliding door 4 are provided with, for example, frame materials (in this embodiment, the door-leading edge material 44 and the door-trailing edge material 45), and are relatively strong parts. The handles 46, 47, to which force is applied when the user moves the sliding door 4, are provided at both ends of the door body 49, which has high strength, so that the handles 46, 47 can be provided in a stable state, and there is no need to provide a separate reinforcing material for attaching the handles 46, 47, and the booth can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

[0047] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the trailing edge handle 47 is formed with a recess 457 that extends in the vertical direction and opens toward the room 13. With this configuration, the user can slide the sliding door 4 by hooking his / her finger on the recess. This trailing edge handle 47 does not protrude from the door body 49, or the amount of protrusion from the door body 49 can be reduced compared to a rod-shaped handle that is attached to the door body 49 and is grasped and held by the user. In particular, the trailing edge end 4a of the sliding door 4 is located near the boundary between the opening 12 and the opening side wall 6 in the closed state, and is therefore located in the middle in the left-right direction inside the booth. Since the trailing edge handle 47 located in the middle in the left-right direction inside the booth does not protrude from the door body 49 or the amount of protrusion from the door body 49 is small, a large space inside the booth can be secured. When placing furniture such as desks inside the booth adjacent to the opening side wall 6, the furniture can be placed closer to the opening side wall 6 compared to a case where the sliding door 4 has a rod-shaped handle attached to the door body 49 at the rear end 4a of the sliding door 4 for the user to grasp and hold, so larger furniture can be placed. Furthermore, because the trailing edge side handle 47 extends in the vertical direction, the user can easily place his / her hand on the trailing edge side handle 47 whether he / she is sitting or standing. Also, when the user moves the sliding door 4 by moving only the hands and arms without moving the body in the left / right direction (for example, a wheelchair user does not move the wheelchair), the distance from the user's body to the trailing edge side handle 47 changes. In this embodiment, because the trailing edge side handle 47 extends in the vertical direction, the user can place his / her hand on the trailing edge side handle 47 at a height that is easy to place his / her hand on, even if the distance from the user's body to the trailing edge side handle 47 changes.

[0048] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the opening side wall 6 has a pillar 63 provided at the other end in the left-right direction, and a wall panel 61 connected to the pillar 63 and extending to one side in the left-right direction, with the end of the pillar on the indoor 13 side protruding further into the room 13 than the surface of the wall panel 61 on the indoor 13 side. The trailing edge handle 47 is disposed at a position overlapping with the pillar 63 when viewed from the left-right direction. With this configuration, the trailing edge handle 47 can be provided so as not to protrude from the door main body 49 (panel material 41) or so as to protrude only a small amount from the door main body 49.

[0049] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the trailing edge handle 47 is located in a position where a user on the room 13 side of the opening side wall 6 can place his / her hand on it when in the closed state, and the leading edge handle 46 is located in a position where a user on the room 13 side of the opening side wall 6 can place his / her hand on it when in the open state. With this configuration, the sliding door 4 can be easily slid when the user is inside the booth 1 on the room 13 side of the opening side wall 6 away from the opening 12, because the handles are located in positions where the user can place their hand on it whether in the closed state or the open state.

[0050] In the booth 1 according to this embodiment, the second side wall 3B is provided with the second vertical frame 82 with which the leading edge 4b ​​of the sliding door 4 in the closed state, i.e., the leading edge 44, comes into contact. With this configuration, the interior of the booth 1 expands from the second side wall 3B to one side in the left-right direction where the opening side wall 6 is arranged. A user who enters the inside of the booth 1 performs work in an area on one side in the left-right direction (the side where the opening side wall 6 is arranged) of the opening 12. In other words, the user is in a position away from the leading edge 4b ​​of the sliding door 4 that closes the opening 12. As described above, the sliding door 4 has two handles 46, 47 (handholds) provided on the door body 49 on the indoor 13 side with a gap therebetween in the left-right direction. Therefore, even when the sliding door 4 closes the opening 12, the sliding door 4 can be easily slid by putting a hand on the trailing edge handle 47. Since the second vertical frame portion 82, with which the door-front end portion 4b of the sliding door 4 in the closed state comes into contact, is provided on the second side wall portion 3B, there is no need to provide a wall portion extending in the left-right direction on the other left-right side of the opening 12 in order to provide the second vertical frame portion 82, and the booth can have a simple structure. Since the interior of the booth 1 extends from the second side wall portion 3B only to one left-right side where the opening lateral wall portion 6 is disposed, the booth 1 can be made more compact in shape than if it extended on both left-right sides.

[0051] Although the embodiment of the booth according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the trailing edge handle 47 is provided at the trailing edge end 4a of the sliding door 4 on the indoor 13 side, and the leading edge handle 46 is provided at the leading edge end 4b. In contrast, it is sufficient that the sliding door 4 has a plurality of handles at intervals in the left-right direction to hold when opening and closing the sliding door 4. For example, a plurality of handles may be provided in addition to the trailing edge end 4a and leading edge end 4b on the indoor 13 side of the sliding door 4. A handle may be provided at either the trailing edge end 4a or leading edge end 4b of the sliding door 4 on the indoor 13 side, and a handle different from this handle may be provided at intervals in the left-right direction. Three or more handles may be provided on one sliding door 4.

[0052] The sliding door 4 may be provided with one handle extending in the left-right direction, and the handle may be provided with handholds at a plurality of positions spaced apart in the left-right direction on which the user can place his or her hands. A plurality of vertical bars extending in the vertical direction are provided on the surface of the sliding door 4 facing the room 13 at intervals in the left-right direction, and a handle (handle portion) may be provided that allows the hand to be placed between adjacent vertical bars in the left-right direction or by grabbing any vertical bar to move the sliding door 4 in the left-right direction.

[0053] The end plate 454 of the trailing edge handle 47 may be in contact with the surface 63a on one side in the left-right direction of the pillar 63 when the sliding door 4 is in the closed state with the opening 12 closed. With this configuration, there is no gap between the trailing edge of the sliding door 4 and the opening side wall 6, improving the sound insulation performance of the booth. Also, a cushioning material may be provided on either the surface on the other side in the left-right direction of the end plate 454 or the surface 63a on one side in the left-right direction of the pillar 63, so that the impact when the end plate 454 and the pillar 63 come into contact with each other is absorbed.

[0054] The sliding door 4 may be designed so that, in the closed state, it is positioned overlapping the other side in the left-right direction of the opening side wall 6, and when it changes from the closed state to the open state, it moves to one side in the left-right direction and also moves toward the inside of the room, overlapping with the inside of the opening side wall 6.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the door-end side handle 46 is a rod-shaped handle, and the door-end side handle 47 is a handle formed with a recess 457 that extends in the vertical direction and opens toward the room 13. The shape of the handle (grip portion) provided on the sliding door 4 may be other than the above.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the opening side wall 6 has a pillar 63 provided at the other end in the left-right direction and a wall plate 61 connected to the pillar 63 and extending to one side in the left-right direction, but it may have a different form, for example, an overall plate shape. The trailing edge side handle 47 may be configured so as not to overlap a part of the opening side wall 6 (the pillar 63 in the above embodiment) in the left-right direction.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the trailing edge handle 47 is located in a position where a user on the interior room 13 side of the opening side wall 6 can place his / her hand on it when in the closed state, and the leading edge handle 46 is located in a position where a user on the interior room 13 side of the opening side wall 6 can place his / her hand on it when in the open state, but the positional relationship between the user's position and the handle (handle) of the sliding door 4 may be set appropriately depending on the shape of the booth 1 and the purpose of use.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the second side wall 3B is provided with a second vertical frame 82 with which the leading edge 4b ​​of the sliding door 4 in the closed state, i.e., the leading edge member 44, comes into contact, and the interior of the booth 1 expands from the second side wall 3B to one side in the left-right direction where the opening lateral wall 6 is disposed. The position and orientation of the side wall 3 and the position where the sliding door 4 is provided may be set according to the shape of the booth 1 and the intended use. [Explanation of symbols]
