Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a sliding door, and more particularly to a mounting structure for mounting a sliding door to an existing fence. [Background technology]

[0002] Various methods for attaching doors to fences have been known. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe methods for attaching hinged doors to fence posts. Furthermore, Patent Documents 3 and 4 describe methods for connecting fence components and door components that have standardized dimensions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-174980 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-25179 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-112040 [Patent Document 4] JP 2014-35 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When installing a door on an existing fence using the above-mentioned method, several limitations may arise. For example, if the fence door is a hinged door, dead space corresponding to the range of motion of the hinged door may be generated around the door, or it may be difficult to ensure a sufficient range of motion depending on the installation location of the hinged door. Furthermore, for example, when connecting door components that have the same dimensions as fence components, it is difficult to install a door with the desired effective opening width because the fence components are replaced with door components.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of these points, and one of its objects is to provide a sliding door mounting structure that allows a door with a desired effective opening width to be easily installed on an existing fence. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A mounting structure for a sliding door according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises upper and lower furring strips supported at different heights from an installation surface by supports erected from the installation surface, and a partition member arranged between the upper and lower furring strips, and is a mounting structure for a sliding door that opens and closes an opening area in a fence where an opening area is provided between the upper and lower furring strips and where the partition member is not arranged, wherein the sliding door is a suspended sliding door that runs along a hanger rail attached to the upper furring strip by an upper fitting, and the upper fitting has a flat base that passes above the upper furring strip and extends into both of the two areas separated by the fence, and a clamp portion that is connected to the end of the part of the base that extends into one of the two areas separated by the fence and is configured to clamp the upper furring strip together with the base, and the hanger rail is arranged on the side of the other of the two areas separated by the fence. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, a door with a desired effective opening width can be easily installed on an existing fence. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis in each of the referenced drawings are shown for the purpose of defining planes and directions in the illustrated sliding fence door, etc. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are mutually orthogonal and form a right-handed system. In the following description, the direction parallel to the X-axis will be referred to as the X-direction, the direction parallel to the Y-axis will be referred to as the Y-direction, and the direction parallel to the Z-axis will be referred to as the Z-direction. Furthermore, when relating the X-direction, Y-direction, and Z-direction to the directions of the arrows (positive and negative) of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis shown in the drawings, the "positive side" and "negative side" will be added.

[0010] In this specification, the Z direction is sometimes referred to as the up-down direction. In this specification, "up" and "above" refer to the positive side of the Z direction relative to a reference surface, component, position, etc., and "down" and "below" refer to the negative side of the Z direction relative to a reference surface, component, position, etc. For example, when describing "component B is placed on component A," component B is placed on the positive side of the Z direction relative to component A. Furthermore, when describing the "top surface of component A," this surface is the end of component A on the positive side of the Z direction, facing the positive side of the Z direction. Note that when a printed illustration is a 90-degree rotated illustration of an actual object (e.g., Figure 1), the "left side" and "right side" in that illustration refer to the "lower side" and "upper side" on the printed page, respectively, and the "upper side" and "lower side" in that illustration refer to the "left side" and "right side" on the printed page, respectively. These directions and planes are terms used for convenience of explanation, and the correspondence relationship with each of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions may change depending on the installation orientation of the fence or the like.

[0011] The aspect ratios and relative sizes of components in each figure are merely schematic and do not necessarily correspond to the relationships in an actual fence, sliding door, etc. For ease of explanation, it is assumed that the relative sizes of components may be exaggerated. Underlined symbols in the figures indicate symbols that refer to the entire component when a part of the component referenced by that symbol is referenced by another symbol. The letters in symbols represented by numbers and their following letters are added solely for the purpose of distinguishing between multiple components identified by the numbers. In the following description, when multiple components are not distinguished by letters following the numbers, the letters are omitted. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" in the following description are intended solely to distinguish between multiple components with the same name.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a top view (FIG. 1A) and a front view (FIG. 1B) of a fence to which a fence sliding door according to one embodiment is attached. FIG. 2 is a top view (FIG. 2A) and a front view (FIG. 2B) of the fence sliding door in an open state. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the fence to which the fence sliding door is attached. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an example of the configuration of an upper metal fitting used to attach the fence sliding door. In this specification, the term "cross-section" refers to a cross-section parallel to a YZ plane perpendicular to the movement direction (X direction) of the fence sliding door. FIG. 3 illustrates the configuration of a YZ cross-section of a fence to which a fence sliding door is attached and in a closed state, taken at the position of the dashed dotted line A-A' in FIG. 1A. In addition, in this specification, the term "front view" refers to a case where the ZX plane illustrated in FIG. 1B etc. is viewed from the front.

[0013] A sliding door for a fence 1 according to this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as "sliding door 1") is attached to an existing fence 2 (see FIG. 6) when providing an entrance (opening area) 290 in the fence 2 in order to open and close the entrance 290. Figures 1A and 1B show an example of the fence 2 with the sliding door 1 closed, and Figures 2A and 2B show an example of the fence 2 with the sliding door 1 open.

[0014] The sliding door 1 is a hanging sliding door and includes a frame 100 that is rectangular (square ring-shaped) when viewed from the front, a wire mesh 120 that is arranged in the opening area surrounded by the frame 100, and hanging door rollers 130A and 130B that are attached to the upper surface of the upper edge 101 of the frame 100. The frame 100 is formed by combining angles made of aluminum, stainless steel, or the like. The wire mesh 120 is, for example, a diamond-shaped wire mesh and can be the same type as the wire mesh 220 in an existing fence 2. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hanging door roller 130 engages with a hanger rail (hanging rail) 3 that is attached along the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 so as to assist the movement of the sliding door 1 in the extension direction (X direction) of the hanger rail 3.

[0015] The hanger rail 3 for mounting the sliding door 1 is arranged so as to extend along the upper furring strip 200 by an upper metal fitting 5 that passes above the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 and overhangs both of the two areas separated by the fence 2. The upper metal fitting 5 has a base 500, a clamp 510, and a rail positioning portion 520. The base 500 is a flat portion that passes above the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 and overhangs both of the two areas separated by the fence 2. The clamp 510 is a portion that connects to the end of the portion of the base 500 that overhangs one of the two areas separated by the fence 2 (the +Y direction in FIG. 3 ), and has a bolt insertion portion 511 that faces the underside of the base 500. The upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 has an L-shaped cross section and is supported by a post 230 of the fence 2 with one side extending in the +Y direction and the other side extending in the -Z direction. The upper metal fitting 5 is attached to the upper furring strip 200 by clamping the edge extending in the +Y direction of the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 inserted between the base 500 and the bolt insertion section 511 between the underside of the base 500 and the tip of the bolt 512 inserted into the bolt insertion section 511. A batten or a pad such as rubber may be interposed between the base 500 and the edge of the upper furring strip 200, and between the tip of the bolt 512 and the edge of the upper furring strip 200.

[0016] The rail positioning portion 520 of the upper fitting 5 is a portion connected to the end of the base 500 opposite the clamp portion 510, and can be a portion that positions the hanger rail 3 relative to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2. The rail positioning portion 520 of the upper fitting 5 illustrated in FIG. 3 can be a side portion extending downward from the base 500. The hanger rail 3 has a through-hole formed therein that overlaps with a through-hole formed in the base 500 when the hanger rail 3 is brought into contact with a corner of an L-shaped cross section formed by the underside of the base 500 and the rail positioning portion 520. The hanger rail 3 is attached to the base 500 with a bolt 513 and a nut 514, using the overlapping through-holes of the base 500 and the hanger rail 3.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 4, the upper fitting 5 is divided so as not to interfere with the support posts 230B of the fence 2, and each divided upper fitting 5 is attached to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 in the manner described above. The hanger rail 3 is attached to each divided upper fitting 5 with the bolts 513 and nuts 514 described above with reference to FIG. 3. The configurations of the clamping portion 510 and the rail positioning portion 520 of the upper fitting 5 are not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 3. The clamping portion 510 may have any known configuration capable of clamping the upper furring strip 200 together with the base 500. The rail positioning portion 520 may have any known configuration capable of positioning the hanger rail 3 relative to the upper furring strip 200, or may even be an optional configuration. In one example, the base 500 and the clamping portion 510 may be integrally formed with the hanger rail 3 as part of the hanger rail 3. Furthermore, for example, one or both of the overlapping through holes of the base 500 and the hanger rail 3 for inserting the shaft of the bolt 513 may be elongated holes that allow the distance between the sliding door 1 and the fence 2 to be adjusted.

[0018] 3, the sliding door 1 may further include a guide roller 135 attached to the underside of the lower edge 102 of the frame 100. The guide roller 135 engages with the guide rail 4 attached along the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 to assist the movement of the sliding door 1 in the extension direction of the guide rail 4 (X direction) and suppress shaking of the sliding door 1 in the Y direction.

[0019] The guide rail 4 is positioned so as to extend along the lower furring strip 210 by a lower metal fitting 6 that passes below the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 and overhangs both of the two areas separated by the fence 2. The lower metal fitting 6 has a base 600, a clamping portion 610, a rail positioning portion 620, and a guard portion 630. The base 600 is a flat portion that passes below the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 and overhangs both of the two areas separated by the fence 2. The clamping portion 610 is a portion that connects to the end of the portion of the base 600 that overhangs one of the two areas separated by the fence 2 (the +Y direction in FIG. 3 ), and has a bolt insertion portion 611 that faces the top surface of the base 600. The lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 has an L-shaped cross section, and is supported by the posts 230 of the fence 2 with one side extending in the +Y direction and the other side extending in the +Z direction. The lower metal fitting 6 is attached to the lower furring strip 210 by clamping the side portion extending in the +Y direction of the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 inserted between the base 600 and the bolt insertion portion 611 between the underside of the base 600 and the tip of the bolt 612 inserted into the bolt insertion portion 611. A batten or a pad such as rubber may be interposed between the base 600 and the side portion of the lower furring strip 210, and between the tip of the bolt 612 and the side portion of the lower furring strip 210.

[0020] The rail positioning portion 620 of the lower metal fitting 6 is a portion connected to the end of the base 600 opposite the clamp portion 610 and may be a portion that positions the guide rail 4 relative to the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2. The rail positioning portion 620 of the lower metal fitting 6 illustrated in FIG. 3 may be a side portion extending upward from the base 600. The guard portion 630 is located on the negative side of the rail positioning portion 620 in the Y direction and is a portion that protects the guide rail 4 and the guide roller 135. The guide rail 4 has a through hole formed therein that overlaps with a through hole formed in the base 600 when the guide rail 4 is aligned under predetermined conditions with respect to a corner of an L-shaped cross section formed by the upper surface of the base 600 and the rail positioning portion 620. The guide rail 4 is attached to the base 600 with a bolt 613 and a nut 614, utilizing the overlapping through holes of the base 600 and the guide rail 4. Like the upper fitting 5, the lower fitting 6 is divided so as not to interfere with the posts 230 of the fence 2, and each divided lower fitting 6 is attached to the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 in the manner described above. The guide rail 4 is attached to each divided lower fitting 6 using the bolts 613 and nuts 614, etc., described above with reference to FIG. 3 . The configurations of the clamp portion 610 and the rail positioning portion 620 of the lower fitting 6 are not limited to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3 . The clamp portion 610 may have any known configuration capable of clamping the lower furring strip 210 together with the base portion 600. The rail positioning portion 620 may have any known configuration capable of positioning the guide rail 4 relative to the lower furring strip 210, or may even be an optional configuration. In one example, the base portion 600 and the clamp portion 610 may be integrally formed with the guide rail 4 as part of the guide rail 4. Furthermore, for example, one or both of the overlapping through holes of the base 600 and the guide rail 4 for inserting the shaft of the bolt 613 may be elongated holes that allow the distance between the sliding door 1 and the fence 2 to be adjusted.

[0021] Of the ends of the upper fitting 5 and the lower fitting 6 in the movement direction of the sliding door 1, the ends that come close to the sliding door 1 when the sliding door 1 is closed are connected to the vertical frame 7A. Locking fittings are attached to the vertical frame 7A and the frame 100 of the sliding door 1. Furthermore, of the ends of the upper fitting 5 and the lower fitting 6 in the movement direction of the sliding door 1, the ends that come close to the sliding door 1 when the sliding door 1 is open are connected to the vertical frame 7B. Furthermore, a fin portion 105 extending in the -Y direction is provided on the top edge portion 101 of the frame 100 of the sliding door 1, and an opening stopper 540 is provided on the rail positioning portion 520 of the upper fitting 5 to abut against the fin portion 105 when the sliding door 1 is open, thereby determining the maximum opening amount of the sliding door 1.

[0022] The sliding door 1 of this embodiment is attached to the fence 2 so as to move along the extension direction of the upper furring strips 200 and the lower furring strips 210 of the existing fence 2 (in other words, the wire mesh 220). This prevents the occurrence of dead space where items cannot be placed so as not to obstruct the opening and closing of the door, as occurs when a hinged door is attached, or the opening and closing of the door from being obstructed by, for example, a cut slope or an embankment slope. Furthermore, because the sliding door 1 of this embodiment is a suspended sliding door, foreign objects that would obstruct the movement of the sliding door 1 are unlikely to accumulate within the hanger rail 3 even when the door is installed outdoors, and even if foreign objects do accumulate, they can be easily removed.

[0023] Fig. 5A is a flow diagram illustrating an example of the procedure for installing a sliding door for a fence, and Fig. 5B is a flow diagram illustrating an example of the procedure for removing a sliding door for a fence. Fig. 6 is a front view illustrating the state of the fence before the sliding door for a fence is installed. Fig. 7 is a front view illustrating the state after the wire mesh has been removed from the fence. Fig. 8 is a front view illustrating the state after rails have been attached to the upper and lower furring strips.

[0024] The work of installing the sliding door 1 of this embodiment on an existing fence 2 is performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in Figure 5A. First, the wire mesh 220 is removed from the existing fence 2 to provide an opening area (step S1), and metal fittings are attached to the ends of the wire mesh created by providing the opening area (step S2). As shown in Figure 6, for example, the existing fence 2 has the wire mesh 220 arranged between upper furring strips 200 and lower furring strips 210, which are supported at different heights from the installation surface 10 of the fence 2 by posts 230A to 230C, etc., and the wire mesh 220 is arranged throughout the entire area along the extension direction of the upper furring strips 200 and the lower furring strips 210. For this reason, first, as shown in Figure 7, the wire mesh 220 of the existing fence 2 is removed to provide an opening area to be used as an entrance / exit 290, and metal fittings 280 are attached to the ends of the wire mesh 220. The entrance / exit 290 is not limited to being used for the movement of people between two areas separated by the fence 2. It may also be used, for example, for the transport of remote-controlled lawn mowers and other various types of work equipment into and out of the work area. The width of the entrance / exit 290 may be, for example, 1,400 mm. The metal fitting 280 is a member that prevents contact between the end of the wire mesh 220 and people or objects passing through the entrance / exit 290, and may be, for example, an angle made of aluminum, stainless steel, or the like. In the example of FIG. 7 , one end of the entrance / exit 290 in the X direction is located at the position of the support 230A, and the other end is located at a different position from the support 230. However, both ends in the X direction may be located at a different position from the support 230, or may be located at the position of the support 230. In step S1, the portion of the wire mesh 220 where the entrance / exit 290 will be located may be cut away or may be left on the fence 2 by bending or other methods.

[0025] After steps S1 and S2, the hanger rail 3 is attached to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 (step S3), and the guide rail 4 is attached to the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 (step S4). In step S3, for example, the upper metal fitting 5 to which the hanger rail 3 is attached is attached to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 in the manner described above. In step S4, for example, the lower metal fitting 6 to which the guide rail 4 is attached is attached to the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2 in the manner described above. Note that in step S3, for example, the upper metal fitting 5 may be attached to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2, and then the hanger rail 3 may be attached to the upper metal fitting 5. Similarly, in step S4, for example, the lower metal fitting 6 may be attached to the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2, and then the guide rail 4 may be attached to the lower metal fitting 6. The order of steps S3 and S4 may also be reversed.

[0026] After steps S3 and S4, the wheels of the hanging door rollers 130 of the sliding door 1 are inserted into the hanger rail 3 and placed on the hanger rail 3, and the guide rollers 135 are inserted into the guide rail 4 (step S5). In step S5, for example, the positions of the hanger rail 3 and the guide rail 4 may be adjusted so that the sliding door 1 runs smoothly. After step S5, the vertical frames 7A and 7B are attached, and locking hardware is attached (step S6), completing the installation of the sliding door 1. When the installation of the sliding door 1 is complete, the existing fence 2 changes from the state illustrated in FIG. 6 to the state illustrated in FIGS. 1B and 2B.

[0027] The work of step S5 may be performed simultaneously with the work of step S3 and the work of step S4. That is, as illustrated in Fig. 8, the sliding door 1 may or may not be hung from the hanger rail 3 after the hanger rail 3 is attached to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 and the guide rail 4 is attached to the lower furring strip 210 of the fence 2. For example, in step S3, the work of step S5 may be omitted by attaching the upper metal fitting 5 to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2 with the hanger rail 3 attached and the sliding door 1 hung by the hanger rail 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the work of removing the sliding door 1 attached to the fence 2 can be performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in FIG. 5B. First, the vertical frames 7A and 7B are removed (Step S11), the hanging door rollers 130 of the sliding door 1 are removed from the hanger rail 3, and the guide rollers 135 are removed from the guide rail 4 (Step S12). After Steps S11 and S12, the hanger rail 3 and the upper metal fittings 5 ​​are removed from the upper furring strip 200, and the guide rail 4 and the lower metal fittings 6 are removed from the lower furring strip 210 (Step S13). Thereafter, the metal fittings 280 at the end of the wire mesh are removed (Step S14), and the wire mesh is returned to the opening area of ​​the fence 2 (Step S15), completing the removal of the sliding door 1. When the removal of the sliding door 1 is complete, the existing fence 2 returns from the state illustrated in FIGS. 1B and 2B to the state illustrated in FIG. 6.

[0029] In this way, the sliding door 1 of this embodiment can be attached to the fence 2 by utilizing the upper furring strips 200 and lower furring strips 210 of the existing fence 2. This eliminates the need for processing work such as removing the upper furring strips 200 and lower furring strips 210 and drilling through holes in the upper furring strips 200, lower furring strips 210, and posts 230, and allows the sliding door 1 to be easily attached.

[0030] Furthermore, when the sliding door 1 is no longer needed, the sliding door 1, hanger rail 3, guide rail 4, etc. can be easily removed from the fence 2. Moreover, since no processing such as drilling through holes is required in the upper furring strips 200, lower furring strips 210, and posts 230, etc., restoration to the original state is easy.

[0031] 1B and the like, in which the extension direction of the upper furring strips 200 and the lower furring strips 210 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the support posts 230. For example, if the extension direction of the upper furring strips 200 and the lower furring strips 210 is inclined with respect to the X direction, a spacer such as a batten may be interposed between the base 500 of the upper fitting 5 and the bolt 512 of the clamp unit 510 to clamp the upper furring strip 200 and make the movement direction of the sliding door 1 the X direction. If the installation surface 10 of the existing fence 2 is an inclined surface and the upper furring strip 200 extends along the inclined surface, the upper fitting 5 and the hanger rail 3 can be attached to the upper furring strip 200 so that the extension direction of the hanger rail 3 is horizontal, thereby making the movement direction of the sliding door 1 horizontal and preventing the sliding door 1 from opening or closing naturally under its own weight.

[0032] As explained above, the sliding door 1 of this embodiment moves along the wire mesh 220 of the existing fence 2, so restrictions on the mounting position when mounting it to the fence 2 are reduced compared to a hinged door. Also, by using a hanging sliding door that utilizes the hanger rail 3 attached along the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2, it is possible to easily provide an entrance / exit (opening area) 290 with a desired effective opening width at a desired position on the existing fence 2, compared to connecting fence components and door components that have standardized dimensions. Furthermore, by using the upper metal fitting 5 having the clamp portion 510 to attach the hanger rail 3 to the upper furring strip 200 of the fence 2, the sliding door 1 can be mounted without modifying the components of the existing fence 2, such as the upper furring strip 200 and the support posts 230, which makes it easy to restore the door to its original state after removing it.

[0033] The embodiments of the sliding door for a fence according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments and may be variously modified, substituted, or altered without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical concept. Furthermore, if technological advances or other derived technologies allow the technical concept to be realized in a different manner, the invention may be implemented using that method. Therefore, the claims cover all embodiments that fall within the scope of the technical concept. For example, the sliding door 1 may use a flat panel or the like instead of the wire mesh 120 described above. Similarly, in the existing fence 2, the partition member disposed between the upper furring strip 200 and the lower furring strip 210 is not limited to the wire mesh 220. [Explanation of symbols]
