Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, due to misalignment during construction or the like, the sickle lock may not engage with the strike properly. It has been proposed to adjust the position of only the receiving portion of the strike with respect to the strike so that the sickle lock and the strike are in a normal engaged state. However, adjusting the receiving portion of the strike requires repeating the operations of adjusting in the state where the sliding door is open and checking the engaged state in the state where the sliding door is closed, which takes a lot of time.

[0005] The present invention has been devised in view of the above actual situation, and the main object thereof is to provide a jig and an adjustment method capable of adjusting the receiving portion of a strike in a short time.

Means for Solving the Problems

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] One embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the latch 1 and strike 2 to which the jig 10 of this embodiment is attached. As shown in Figure 1, in this specification, a first direction a is defined as the vertical direction when the latch 1 is attached to the sliding door 3, and a second direction b is defined as the opening and closing direction of the sliding door 3. Preferably, the latch 1 is attached to the end face 3a of the sliding door 3 in the second direction b. The strike 2 of this embodiment is attached to the mounting frame 4 of the sliding door 3 at a position opposite to the latch 1.

[0010] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the engaged state of the hook lock 1 and the strike 2. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the hook lock 1 of this embodiment has a hook body 1a for engaging with the strike 2. The hook body 1a protrudes, for example, from the opening 1b of the hook lock 1 and engages with the strike 2 while in contact with the lower end 1c of the opening 1b.

[0011] The strike 2 of this embodiment has a receiving portion 2a that engages with the sickle body 1a. At least a portion of the receiving portion 2a of this embodiment is exposed to the opening 2b of the strike 2. It is desirable that the receiving portion 2a can be freely adjusted in position in a first direction a and a second direction b relative to the strike 2. The adjustment of the receiving portion 2a in the first direction a is performed, for example, by a well-known cam mechanism 2c. The adjustment of the receiving portion 2a in the second direction b is performed, for example, by a well-known adjustment screw 2d.

[0012] Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the adjustment method of this embodiment. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the adjustment method for adjusting the position of the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 that receives the latch 1 of the sliding door 3 in this embodiment is performed by carrying out a first installation step S1 in which the latch 1 is attached to the sliding door 3.

[0013] The first mounting step S1 is preferably performed on-site during construction. In the first mounting step S1, for example, the sickle lock 1 is attached to the sliding door 3 using two mounting screws. Such a first mounting step S1 can easily attach the sickle lock 1 to the sliding door 3 in a short time. Note that the first mounting step S1 may be performed in advance at a factory or the like instead of at the construction site, for example.

[0014] In the adjustment method of the present embodiment, a second mounting step S2 of attaching the striker 2 to the mounting frame 4 is performed before and after the first mounting step S1. The second mounting step S2 is preferably performed on-site during construction. In the second mounting step S2, for example, the striker 2 is attached to the mounting frame 4 using two mounting screws. Such a second mounting step S2 can easily attach the striker 2 to the mounting frame 4 in a short time. Note that the second mounting step S2 may be performed in advance at a factory or the like instead of at the construction site, for example.

[0015] In the adjustment method of the present embodiment, after the first mounting step S1 and the second mounting step S2, in a state where the sliding door 3 is open, a first mounting step S3 of attaching the jig 10 to the sickle lock 1 is performed. In the first mounting step S3 of the present embodiment, the jig 10 used for adjusting the position in the first direction a and the position in the second direction b of the receiving portion 2a of the striker 2 that receives the sickle lock 1 of the sliding door 3 is attached to the opening 1b of the sickle lock 1. Such a first mounting step S3 helps to easily attach the jig 10 in a short time.

[0016] Here, while referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the jig 10 used for adjusting the position in the first direction a and the position in the second direction b of the receiving portion 2a of the striker 2 that receives the sickle lock 1 of the sliding door 3 will be described.

[0017] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the jig 10 seen from one side, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the jig 10 seen from the other side. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the jig 10 of the present embodiment includes a first engaging portion 11 attached to the sickle lock 1, a second engaging portion 12 attached to the striker 2, and a contact portion 13 used for positioning when attached to the sickle lock 1.

[0018] In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 11 is attached to the opening 1b of the latch lock 1 in the first mounting step S3 with the sliding door 3 in the open position. It is desirable that the first engaging portion 11 be mounted so that the first contact surface 11a contacts 1c of the opening 1b, thereby positioning it in the first direction a relative to the latch lock 1. Such a first engaging portion 11 allows the jig 10 to be attached to the latch lock 1 with accuracy in a short amount of time.

[0019] The first engaging portion 11 has a retaining portion 11b that is used, for example, when removing the jig 10 from the strike 2 in the removal process S7 described later. Such a first engaging portion 11 also allows for easy final removal.

[0020] In this embodiment, the second engaging portion 12 is attached to the opening 2b of the strike 2 when the sliding door 3 is closed in the second mounting step S4, which will be described later. It is desirable that the mounting force F2 of the second engaging portion 12 to the strike 2 is greater than the mounting force F1 of the first engaging portion 11 to the latch 1. Such a second engaging portion 12 can reliably maintain the state in which the jig 10 is attached to the strike 2 when the sliding door 3 is opened in the adjustment preparation step S5, which will be described later, and helps to adjust the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 in a short time.

[0021] The second engaging portion 12 generates a large mounting force F2, for example, through a plurality of uneven structures 12a extending in the first direction a. Such a second engaging portion 12 can reliably make the mounting force F2 on the strike 2 greater than the mounting force F1 on the hook lock 1 of the first engaging portion 11. The second engaging portion 12 is not limited to this embodiment, and may, for example, have a dot-shaped uneven structure or a surface with a high surface roughness.

[0022] The contact portion 13 has, for example, a second contact surface 13a that contacts the periphery of the opening 1b of the latch 1 during the first mounting step S3. Such a contact portion 13 helps to mount the jig 10 onto the latch 1 quickly and accurately.

[0023] The jig 10 of this embodiment includes a first receiving surface 12b for adjusting the position of the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 in a first direction a, and a second receiving surface 13b for adjusting the position of the receiving portion 2a in a second direction b. The first receiving surface 12b is provided, for example, on the second engaging portion 12. The second receiving surface 13b is provided, for example, on the contact portion 13. Such a jig 10 can shorten the working time in the adjustment process S6 described later. Therefore, the jig 10 of this embodiment can adjust the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 in a short time.

[0024] The jig 10 is preferably made of resin. Such a jig 10 is easy to manufacture and, because it is elastic, can flexibly accommodate positional misalignment during construction.

[0025] Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the first mounting step S3. As shown in Figure 6, in the first mounting step S3 of this embodiment, with the sliding door 3 in the open position, the worker inserts the first engaging portion 11 of the jig 10 into the opening 1b of the latch lock 1 to mount it. In the first mounting step S3, the jig 10 is mounted so that the first contact surface 11a of the jig 10 contacts the lower end 1c of the opening 1b, and the second contact surface 13a contacts the periphery of the opening 1b. Such a first mounting step S3 allows the jig 10 to be mounted to the latch lock 1 quickly and accurately, regardless of the worker's skill level.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the adjustment method involves a second mounting step S4 in which the jig 10 is attached to the strike 2 by closing the sliding door 3 with the jig 10 attached after the first mounting step S3. Since this second mounting step S4 only involves closing the sliding door 3 once, the jig 10 can be attached to the strike 2 in a short amount of time.

[0027] Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the second mounting step S4. As shown in Figure 7, in the second mounting step S4 of this embodiment, when the worker closes the sliding door 3, the second engaging portion 12 of the jig 10 is inserted into the opening 2b of the strike 2, and the jig 10 is mounted on the latch 1 and the strike 2. In this second mounting step S4, the jig 10 can be mounted on the strike 2 according to the actual positional relationship between the latch 1 and the strike 2 when the sliding door 3 is closed.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the adjustment method involves performing an adjustment preparation step S5 after the second mounting step S4, in which the sliding door 3 is opened while the jig 10 is mounted on the strike 2. In this embodiment, the mounting force F2 of the second engaging portion 12 on the strike 2 is greater than the mounting force F1 of the first engaging portion 11 on the latch 1, so the jig 10 can be maintained mounted on the strike 2 simply by the operator opening the sliding door 3.

[0029] Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the adjustment preparation step S5. As shown in Figure 8, in the adjustment preparation step S5 of this embodiment, the jig 10 is kept attached to the strike 2 by opening the sliding door 3 from a state in which the jig 10 is attached to the opening 1b of the latch 1 and the opening 2b of the strike 2. In this adjustment preparation step S5, a large space can be secured with only the jig 10 attached to the opening 2b of the strike 2, making it easy to operate the cam mechanism 2c and the adjustment screw 2d.

[0030] As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, after the adjustment preparation step S5, an adjustment step S6 is performed to adjust the position of the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 while the sliding door 3 is open. This adjustment step S6 allows the position of the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 to be adjusted to an appropriate position in line with the hook body 1a of the hook lock 1.

[0031] Figure 9 is a flowchart of the adjustment process S6, and Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the first adjustment process S61. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the adjustment process S6 of this embodiment involves a first adjustment process S61, which adjusts the position of the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 in the first direction a. In the first adjustment process S61 of this embodiment, the position of the receiving portion 2a in the first direction a is adjusted using a cam mechanism 2c (shown in Figure 8) so that the upper end 2e of the receiving portion 2a contacts the first receiving surface 12b of the jig 10. Such a first adjustment process S61 can adjust the position of the receiving portion 2a in the first direction a accurately in a short amount of time.

[0032] Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view showing the second adjustment step S62. As shown in Figures 9 and 11, in this embodiment, the adjustment step S6, performed before or after the first adjustment step S61, is the second adjustment step S62, which adjusts the position of the receiving portion 2a of the strike 2 in the second direction b. In the second adjustment step S62 of this embodiment, the position of the receiving portion 2a in the second direction b is adjusted using an adjustment screw 2d (shown in Figure 8) so that the front surface 2f of the receiving portion 2a contacts the second receiving surface 13b of the jig 10. Such a second adjustment step S62 can adjust the position of the receiving portion 2a in the second direction b with high accuracy in a short amount of time.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the adjustment method involves an adjustment step S6 followed by a removal step S7 in which the jig 10 is removed from the strike 2. This removal step S7 can be performed easily and reliably because the jig 10 has a holding portion 11b.
