Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In a retractable screen door, when the screen door leading edge frame is moved to pull out the screen portion, the screen door leading edge frame is brought into contact with a frame receiving member. However, when the screen door leading edge frame is brought into contact with a shoji frame, vertical post, etc. without providing a frame receiving member, a gap may be generated between the screen door leading edge frame and the vertical member, and light leakage may occur. Particularly in the case of a window with a certain height, there has been a concern that such a situation may occur due to distortion of the screen door leading edge frame due to aging.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a retractable screen door that can prevent light leakage when the screen door leading edge frame is moved to pull out the screen portion.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present disclosure relates to a retractable screen door, which includes a screen door end frame and a screen portion connected to the screen door end frame and retracted or pulled out when the screen door end frame is moved. The screen door end frame is provided with a light leakage prevention member that closes a gap between a vertical member disposed opposite to the screen door end frame when the screen portion is pulled out and the screen door end frame.

The screen door placement groove 221c guides the left-right movement of the lower end portion of the pleated screen door 6 via the screen door attachment 221e. As shown in FIG. 4, the lower end of the glass panel 41 of the FIX portion 4 is arranged in the FIX glass placement groove 221d.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 5, the vertical frames 23 and 24 include vertical frame bodies 231 and 241, vertical frame indoor-side surface covers 232 and 242 disposed on the surfaces of the indoor side X2, and vertical frame indoor-side end covers 233 and 243 attached to the inner circumferential ends in the left-right direction of the vertical frame indoor-side surface covers 232 and 242.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 1, the upright 3 extends vertically in the middle part in the left-right direction on the indoor side X2 of the frame body 2. The opening of the frame body 2 is divided into left and right in the middle by the upright 3. As a result, on one side in the left-right direction of the indoor side X2 of the frame body 2, a FIX portion 4 is formed, and on the other side in the left-right direction of the frame body 2, an opening 25 that is opened and closed by the outer shutter 5 is formed.

[0021] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the FIX portion 4 is configured such that a glass panel 41 as a facing material is fixed to the upright 3 and the frame body 2 on one side in the left-right direction (the right side in Figs. 1 and 2) of the upright 3 within the frame body 2. The FIX portion 4 is a fixed window that cannot be opened or closed. The FIX portion 4 is configured such that a glass panel 41 as a facing material is fitted on the inner circumferential side of the portion surrounded by the upright 3, the upper frame 21, the lower frame 22, and the vertical frame 23 on the indoor side X2 on one side in the left-right direction with respect to the upright 3 provided in the middle in the left-right direction of the frame body 2.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the outer edge of the glass panel 41 is disposed in the FIX glass arrangement grooves 31, 211d, 221d, and 241d of the upright 3, the upper frame 21, the lower frame 22, and the vertical frame 24, respectively. The outer edge of the glass panel 41 on the upright 3 side in the left-right direction is pressed by the pressing edge 35 of the upright 3, and the outer edges on the upper side, the lower side, and the side opposite to the upright 3 in the left-right direction are pressed and attached to the FIX side attachments 214, 224, and 244 fixed to the indoor side X2 of the upper frame 21, the lower frame 22, and the vertical frame 23, respectively, by the pressing edges 215, 225, and 245.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 5, the outer shutter 5 is a shutter that can be opened and closed by sliding horizontally (in the lateral direction) within the frame body 2 on the outdoor side X1 inside the frame body 2. The outer shutter 5 is configured to be able to open and close an opening 25 formed on the other side (the left side in Figs. 1 and 2) of the FIX portion 4. When viewed in the indoor-outdoor direction, the outer shutter 5 is in the closed position when it overlaps the opening 25, and is in the open position when it is moved to the outdoor side X1 of the FIX portion 4 by moving in the lateral direction.

[0024] As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the outer shutter 5 is constituted by a face material 55 made of two sheets of glass being housed on the inner peripheral side of a frame body 50 formed by rectangularly framing an upper frame 51, a lower frame 52, a vertical frame 53 disposed on the leading edge side of the door, and a vertical frame 54 disposed on the trailing edge side of the door. The upper end of the outer shutter 5 is disposed movably in the lateral direction in the upper frame outdoor side groove 211a of the upper frame 21, and the lower end is engaged movably in the lateral direction with the lower frame rail 221a of the lower frame 22.

[0025] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a handle 531 is attached to the vertical frame 53 disposed on the leading edge side of the door. The handle 531 is attached to the prospective surface on the inner peripheral side in the lateral direction of the vertical frame 53 on the indoor side X2 with respect to the face material 55 of the outer shutter 5.

[0026] As shown in Figs. 5 to 9, the pleated screen door 6 is drawn out to an opening 25 formed on the other side of the FIX portion 4 within the frame body 2 or is housed inside the vertical frame 23 of the frame body 2. The pleated screen door 6 has a net portion 65 that can move in the lateral direction on the indoor side X2 of the opening 25 formed on the other side (the left side in Fig. 1) of the FIX portion 4 within the frame body 2, and is housed inside (on the side of the vertical frame 23) or drawn out from within the vertical frame 23 of the frame body 2.

[0027] The pleated screen door 6 is housed inside the vertical frame 23 when being housed on the indoor side X2 of the other side (the left side in Fig. 1) of the FIX portion 4 within the frame body 2. When the pleated screen door 6 is drawn out from the vertical frame 23, as shown in Fig. 8, it is moved so as to close an opening 25 formed on the other side in the lateral direction of the partition 3 within the frame body 2 by the partition 3, the upper frame 21, the lower frame 22, and the vertical frame 23.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 6, the pleated screen door 6 includes a screen door body 61 and a light leakage prevention member 66. The screen door body 61 is disposed on the indoor side X2 of the outer shutter 5 (shutter) that is movable in the left-right direction within the frame body 2. The screen door body 61 has a screen door leading edge frame 62 and a screen portion 65.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 6, the screen door leading edge frame 62 is connected to the tip of the screen portion 65 in the pulling-out direction in the left-right direction. The screen door leading edge frame 62 extends in the up-down direction. One end of the screen portion 65 in the left-right direction is connected to the inside of the screen door leading edge frame 62, and the other end in the left-right direction is fixed to the prospective surface 231b on the inner peripheral side in the left-right direction of the indoor-outdoor direction extending plate 231a of the vertical frame main body 231 of the vertical frame 23 of the frame body 2.

[0030] When the screen door leading edge frame 62 is moved in the left-right direction, the screen portion 65 is housed inside the vertical frame 23 (on the vertical frame 23 side) of the frame body 2 or pulled out from inside the vertical frame 23 (on the vertical frame 23 side) of the frame body 2. In the present embodiment, the screen portion 65 is formed in a bellows-like pleated shape, folded when housed, and expanded when pulled out. When housed, the screen portion 65 is housed in the screen housing portion 60.

[0031] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the screen door leading edge frame 62 has hand-holding portions (indoor side outer surface hand-holding portion 62a, outdoor side outer surface hand-holding portion 62b, outdoor side inner surface hand-holding portion 62c) used when housing or pulling out the pleated screen door 6. When the screen door leading edge frame 62 is operated, a person's hand can be placed on the indoor side outer surface hand-holding portion 62a, the outdoor side outer surface hand-holding portion 62b, and the outdoor side inner surface hand-holding portion 62c.

[0032] The screen door leading edge frame 62 has a metal core member portion 63 and a resin cover portion 64 disposed outside the metal core member portion 63 so as to cover the outside of the metal core member portion 63. The resin cover portion 64 is fitted and fixed to the outside of the metal core member portion 63. By disposing the metal core member portion 63 inside the resin cover portion 64, while ensuring strength by the metal core member portion 63, the heat insulation performance can be improved by being covered with the resin cover portion 64 on the outside.

[0033] The metal core member portion 63 is formed in a frame shape with the net portion 65 side open. The metal core member portion 63 includes a net attachment portion 631 having a net intake portion 631a, a metal core member indoor side protruding piece 632 protruding from the end side of the indoor side X2 of the net attachment portion 631 toward the vertical frame 23, and a metal core member outdoor side extending portion 633 extending from the end side of the indoor side X2 of the net attachment portion 631 toward the vertical frame 23. The length of the metal core member outdoor side extending portion 633 extending toward the vertical frame 23 is formed longer than the length of the metal core member indoor side protruding piece 632 extending toward the vertical frame 23.

[0034] On the surface of the metal core member outdoor side extending portion 633 on the net portion 65 side in the screen door end frame 62, an outdoor side inner surface handle portion 62c is formed. The surface of the metal core member outdoor side extending portion 633 on the net portion 65 side is a surface facing the indoor side X2 and is not visible from the outdoor side X1. The outdoor side inner surface handle portion 62c is provided on the metal core member outdoor side extending portion 633 between the outdoor side cover portion 643 and the net portion 65. The outdoor side inner surface handle portion 62c is formed in a concave shape recessed from the indoor side X2 to the outdoor side X1 at the end side on the vertical frame 23 side of the metal core member outdoor side extending portion 633.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 9, the outdoor side inner surface handle portion 62c is usable because when the outer shutter 5 is partially or fully open in a state where the pleated screen door 6 is pulled out, even when the vertical frame 53 side disposed on the end side of the outer shutter 5 overlaps with the screen door end frame 62 when viewed from the outdoor side X1, a hand can be inserted into the gap between the net portion 65 and the metal core member outdoor side extending portion 633 from the outdoor side X1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the outdoor-side inner surface handle portion 62c is provided on the indoor-side X2 surface of the outdoor-side extension portion 633 of the metal core material on the side of the mesh portion 65 between the mesh portion 65 and the outdoor-side extension portion 633 of the metal core material. Therefore, even when the pleated screen door 6 is pulled out and the screen door leading edge frame 62 and the vertical frame 53 side arranged on the leading edge side of the outer shutter 5 overlap, from the outdoor side X1, through the gap between the mesh portion 65 and the outdoor-side extension portion 633 of the metal core material, one can put a hand into the gap between the mesh portion 65 and the outdoor-side extension portion 633 of the metal core material and grasp the outdoor-side inner surface handle portion 62c. Thus, by grasping the outdoor-side inner surface handle portion 62c, the screen door leading edge frame 62 can be moved toward the vertical frame 23 side (the side where the mesh portion 65 is housed in the vertical frame 23).

[0037] As shown in FIG. 6, the resin cover portion 64 is arranged to cover the outside of the screen door leading edge frame 62. The resin cover portion 64 has a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape and is formed in a shape in which the inner peripheral side in the left-right direction closes and the outer peripheral side is opened when the pleated screen door 6 is stored. The resin cover portion 64 has a prospective surface cover portion 641 extending in the prospective direction, an indoor-side cover portion 642 protruding from the end of the prospective surface cover portion 641 on the indoor side X2 toward the vertical frame 23 side, and an outdoor-side cover portion 643 (outdoor-side portion) extending from the end of the prospective surface cover portion 641 on the outdoor side X1 toward the vertical frame 23 side.

[0038] The prospective surface cover portion 641 is arranged on the inner peripheral side in the left-right direction when the pleated screen door 6 is stored. The prospective surface cover portion 641 is formed to extend in the prospective direction at the outermost tip on the side of the resin cover portion 64. Inside the prospective surface cover portion 641, a screen-door-side magnet portion 644 is arranged. When the prospective surface cover portion 641 moves to the side of the upright 3 and approaches or contacts the upright 3, the screen-door-side magnet portion 644 is magnetically connected and fixed to the upright-side magnet portion 32 shown in FIG. 5 arranged inside the upright 3. Thereby, when the screen door leading edge frame 62 is pulled out, the prospective surface cover portion 641 of the screen door leading edge frame 62 is temporarily fixed to the upright 3 by magnetic force.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, the fixing of the screen door end frame 62 and the upright 3 is fixed by the magnetic force connection of the magnet between the screen door side magnet portion 644 (first magnetic body) and the upright side magnet portion 32 (second magnetic body), but it is not limited to this. For example, one of the screen door side magnet portion 644 (first magnetic body) and the upright side magnet portion 32 (second magnetic body) may be constituted by a metal connected to a magnet such as iron.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 6, the prospective surface cover portion 641 has a cover prospective surface 641a. The cover prospective surface 641a is a surface extending in the prospective direction (indoor-outdoor direction), and is formed in a planar shape that is the inner peripheral side surface in the left-right direction of the frame body 2 and faces the upright 3 side. The cover prospective surface 641a has a width in the prospective direction and extends in the prospective direction and the up-down direction. The cover prospective surface 641a is exposed on the inner peripheral side in the left-right direction of the frame body 2 when the pleated screen door 6 is stored in the vertical frame 23.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the cover prospective surface 641a is positioned on the same plane as the vertical frame prospective surface 233a of the vertical frame 23 when the pleated screen door 6 is stored in the vertical frame 23. Therefore, when the screen door body 61 is stored, the screen door end frame prospective surface 621 (cover prospective surface 641a) (prospective surface) of the screen door end frame 62 and the vertical frame prospective surface 233a of the vertical frame 23 are positioned on the same plane.

[0042] As a result, since the screen door end frame prospective surface 621 (cover prospective surface 641a) of the screen door end frame 62 and the vertical frame prospective surface 233a of the vertical frame 23 are arranged on the same plane, when viewed from the indoor side X2, when the screen portion 65 of the pleated screen door 6 is stored in the vertical frame 23, the screen door end frame prospective surface 621 of the screen door end frame 62 and the vertical frame prospective surface 233a of the vertical frame 23 are visually recognized as the same surface. Therefore, since the screen door end frame 62 does not protrude to the inner peripheral side in the left-right direction of the frame body 2, the design property can be improved.

[0043] On the indoor side X2 of the prospective surface cover portion 641, as shown in FIG. 6, a light leakage prevention member mounting groove 641b is formed. The light leakage prevention member mounting groove 641b is formed in a groove shape with the side facing the vertical frame 3 open and extends in the vertical direction. Note that the position of the light leakage prevention member mounting groove 641b in the indoor-outdoor direction is not limited to this position. A light leakage prevention member 66 is attached to the light leakage prevention member mounting groove 641b. Details of the light leakage prevention member 66 will be described later.

[0044] The outdoor cover portion 643 is disposed on the outdoor side X1 of the screen door end frame 62. As shown in FIG. 6, the outdoor cover portion 643 is disposed along the outdoor side X1 of the metal core outdoor extension portion 633 of the metal core member 63 on the outdoor side X1 of the net portion 65. The length of the outdoor cover portion 643 extending toward the vertical frame 23 side is formed longer than the length of the metal core outdoor extension portion 633 extending toward the vertical frame 23 side. Therefore, the metal core outdoor extension portion 633 of the metal core member 63 and the outdoor cover portion 643 of the resin cover portion 64 in the screen door end frame 62 cover at least the portion of the outdoor side X1 of the net storage portion 60 when the screen door body 61 is stored, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0045] Thus, when the pleated screen door 6 is stored, even if the exterior shutter 5 is moved, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the portion of the outdoor side X1 of the net portion 65 stored in the net storage portion 60 is covered by the screen door end frame 62. Therefore, when the pleated screen door 6 is stored, even if the exterior shutter 5 is moved, the net portion 65 stored in the net storage portion 60 is not exposed to the outside of the outdoor side X1, so that the design property when viewed from the outdoor side X1 can be improved.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 6, the end portion of the outdoor cover portion 643 on the vertical frame 23 side is disposed closer to the vertical frame 23 side than the end portion (tip portion) of the open side (vertical frame 23 side) of the metal core outdoor extension portion 633 so as to cover the outdoor side X1 of the metal core outdoor extension portion 633. The outdoor cover portion 643 is bent inward of the screen door end frame 62 so that the end portion of the open side (vertical frame 23 side) of the outdoor cover portion 643 wraps around the end portion of the open side (vertical frame 23 side) of the metal core outdoor extension portion 633 and covers the outside.

[0047] As a result, when the pleated screen door 6 is stored, the end of the open side (the vertical frame 23 side) of the outdoor cover portion 643 abuts against the expected surface 231b on the inner peripheral side in the left-right direction of the indoor-outdoor direction extending plate 231a of the vertical frame body 231 of the vertical frame 23. Therefore, on the vertical frame 23, the resin cover portion 64 abuts instead of the metal core material portion 63. Thus, in the screen door head frame 62, while ensuring strength by the metal core material portion 63, heat transfer from the vertical frame 23 to the metal core material portion 63 can be suppressed by the resin cover portion 64, ensuring heat insulation performance. Therefore, in the screen door head frame 62, it is possible to achieve both ensuring strength and ensuring heat insulation performance.

[0048] On the outdoor side X1 of the outdoor cover portion 643 in the screen door head frame 62, an outdoor outer surface handle portion 62b is formed. The outdoor outer surface handle portion 62b is formed in a concave shape that recesses from the outdoor side X1 to the indoor side X2 in the indoor-outdoor direction at the end side on the head side of the outdoor cover portion 643.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 7, the outdoor outer surface handle portion 62b is used when the pleated screen door 6 is stored. When the pleated screen door 6 is stored, the expected surface 621 (cover expected surface 641a) of the screen door head frame 62 and the expected surface 233a of the vertical frame 23 are arranged on the same plane, and it is impossible to put a hand into the gap between the screen door head frame 62 and the vertical frame 23. Therefore, it is impossible to hold the indoor inner surface handle portion 62a. In such a case, when the pleated screen door 6 is stored, with the outer shutter 5 moved in the opening direction, a hand can be inserted from the indoor side X2 to the outdoor side X1 of the screen door head frame 62 and held on the outdoor outer surface handle portion 62b formed on the outdoor side X1 of the screen door head frame 62. As a result, the screen door head frame 62 can be pulled out by holding the outdoor outer surface handle portion 62b. Also, even in a structure where the screen door head frame 62 of the pleated screen door 6 is stored in the vertical frame 23 and the visible surface on the indoor side X2 of the screen door head frame 62 is covered by the vertical frame 23 so as not to be visible from the indoor side X2, the opening and closing operation of the pleated screen door 6 can be performed by holding the outdoor outer surface handle portion 62b.

[0050] As shown in Fig. 6, the indoor cover portion 642 is arranged along the indoor side X2 of the indoor protruding piece 632 of the metal core material of the metal core material portion 63. The length of the indoor cover portion 642 protruding toward the vertical frame 23 side is formed to be longer than the length of the metal core material indoor protruding piece 632 protruding toward the vertical frame 23 side. The indoor cover portion 642 is bent inwardly of the screen door end frame 62 such that the end portion on the open side (vertical frame 23 side) of the indoor cover portion 642 encloses the end portion on the open side (vertical frame 23 side) of the metal core material indoor protruding piece 632 and covers the outside.

[0051] An indoor outer surface handle portion 62a is formed on the surface of the indoor side X2 of the indoor cover portion 642 in the screen door end frame 62. The indoor outer surface handle portion 62a is formed in a concave shape that is recessed from the indoor side X2 to the outdoor side X1 in the indoor-outdoor direction.

[0052] The indoor outer surface handle portion 62a can be used by placing a hand on it from the indoor side X2 when the pleated screen door 6 is pulled out from the indoor side X2. In the state shown in Fig. 7, when a hand is placed on the outdoor outer surface handle portion 62b and the screen door end frame 62 is slightly pulled out, it can be used by placing a hand on it from the indoor side X2. Also, the indoor outer surface handle portion 62a can be used by placing a hand on it from the indoor side X2 when the pleated screen door 6 is retracted from the state where it is pulled out. In the state where the pleated screen door 6 is pulled out as shown in Fig. 9, it can be used by placing a hand on it from the indoor side X2.

[0053] As shown in Fig. 6, the light leakage prevention member 66 is provided on the tip side of the screen door end frame 62. The light leakage prevention member 66 is attached to a light leakage prevention member attachment groove 641b formed on the indoor side X2 of the expected surface cover portion 641. The light leakage prevention member 66 closes the gap between the vertical member 3 (vertical member) arranged opposite to the screen door end frame 62 when the net portion 65 is pulled out and the screen door end frame 62. Note that the position in the indoor-outdoor direction where the light leakage prevention member 66 is attached is not limited to the indoor side X2 of the expected surface cover portion 641. The position in the indoor-outdoor direction where the light leakage prevention member 66 is attached may also be on the outdoor side X1 of the expected surface cover portion 641.

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 11, the light leakage prevention member 66 is formed to protrude toward the third upright 3 while inclining from the outdoor side X1 toward the indoor side X2 as it goes from the light leakage prevention member mounting groove 641b toward the third upright 3 side. The light leakage prevention member 66 extends in the vertical direction.

[0055] When the sliding door leading edge frame 62 is pulled out and moved toward the third upright 3 side to close the pleated sliding door 6, as shown in FIG. 9, the light leakage prevention member 66 abuts on the expected surface 3a on the pleated sliding door 6 side of the third upright 3 so as to fill the gap between the sliding door leading edge frame 62 and the third upright 3. The light leakage prevention member 66 is formed of, for example, an elastic deformable rubber-based resin material.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the sliding door leading edge frame 62 is pulled out and moved toward the third upright 3 side to close the pleated sliding door 6, with the screen door side magnet portion 644 (first magnetic body) disposed inside the sliding door leading edge frame 62 and the upright side magnet portion 32 (second magnetic body) disposed inside the third upright 3 being connected and fixed by magnetic force, the light leakage prevention member 66 closes the gap between the third upright 3 and the sliding door leading edge frame 62. Note that the sliding door leading edge frame 62 and the third upright 3 may not be connected and fixed by magnetic force.

[0057] By the above-described light leakage prevention member 66, it is possible to prevent light leakage and intrusion of insects by closing the gap between the third upright 3 and the sliding door leading edge frame 62.

[0058] According to the first embodiment, the following effects are achieved. The pleated sliding door 6 of this embodiment includes a screen door body 61 having a sliding door leading edge frame 62 and a screen portion 65 that is connected to the sliding door leading edge frame 62 and is housed or pulled out when the sliding door leading edge frame 62 is moved. The sliding door leading edge frame 62 is provided with a light leakage prevention member 66 that closes the gap between the third upright 3 and the sliding door leading edge frame 62, which is disposed to face the third upright 3 when the screen portion 65 is pulled out. Thereby, the light leakage prevention member 66 can prevent light leakage and intrusion of insects by closing the gap between the third upright 3 and the sliding door leading edge frame 62.

[0059] Also, in this embodiment, when the screen door leading edge frame 62 is pulled out, the screen door leading edge frame 62 is fixed to the side post 3. As a result, when the screen door leading edge frame 62 is fixed to the side post 3, the gap between the side post 3 and the screen door leading edge frame 62 can be blocked.

[0060] Also, in this embodiment, the light leakage prevention member 66 is formed to protrude from the screen door leading edge frame 62 toward the side post 3. As a result, the gap between the side post 3 and the screen door leading edge frame 62 can be blocked with a simple configuration.

[0061] Next, a second embodiment will be described. Regarding points not described in the second embodiment, the description of the first embodiment can be cited. In the second embodiment, for configurations similar to those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment are given, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 12, the fitting 1A of the second embodiment includes a roll-type screen door 6A instead of the pleated screen door 6 of the first embodiment. The roll-type screen door 6A of the second embodiment is different in configuration from the pleated screen door 6 of the first embodiment in that a roll-type screen portion 67 is disposed in the screen storage portion 60 instead of the screen portion 65 of the pleated screen door 6 of the first embodiment being disposed in the screen storage portion 60.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 12, the roll-type screen door 6A of the second embodiment includes a screen door main body 61A and a light leakage prevention member 66. The screen door main body 61A has a screen door leading edge frame 62 and a roll-type screen portion 67. Since the configuration of the screen door leading edge frame 62 of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

[0064] The roll-type screen portion 67 is stored in the screen storage portion 60. The roll-type screen portion 67 includes a case portion 671 formed with an open side at the screen door leading edge frame 62 side, a winding shaft 672 disposed inside the case portion 671, and a screen body 673 wound around the winding shaft 672 and disposed inside the case portion 671.

[0065] Since the configuration of the roll-up screen door 6A of the second embodiment other than the roll-up screen portion 67 is the same as that of the pleated screen door 6 of the first embodiment, the second embodiment can achieve the same effects as the first embodiment.

[0066] As described above, a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure has been described. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be appropriately modified.
