The pull handle 2 includes a grip part 5, a fixing part 6, a base part 7, and a switching means 8.

戸板3の開口側の端部に引き手2が固定される。引き手2の一方の端部は断面視コの字形の固定部6からなり、戸板3の開口側の端部をコの字形の固定部6が挟み込むように取り付けられ、ビスなどの固定手段により固定される。また、引き手2は長手方向に伸びる長尺物からなり、戸板の開口側の側部の上端部から下端部まで連続して設けられている   The handle 2 is fixed to the end of the door plate 3 on the opening side. One end of the puller 2 is formed of a U-shaped fixing part 6 in cross-sectional view, and is attached so that the end of the door plate 3 on the opening side is sandwiched by the U-shaped fixing part 6 and fixed by a fixing means such as a screw. Fixed. The puller 2 is made of a long object extending in the longitudinal direction, and is continuously provided from the upper end portion to the lower end portion of the side portion on the opening side of the door plate.

引き手2の固定部6と反対側の端部は握り部5からなり、握り部5と固定部6はベース部7で接続されている。握り部5の戸板の表裏方向の一方の側5aは、閉じられた面で形成されており、もう一方の側5bは戸板3の開口側に沿って形成された側枠からなり、握り部5のベース部7側には切替手段8が取り付けられる空間部5cが形成されている。切替手段8は係合部12と第1支持部9と第2支持部10とからなる。切替手段8は、引き手2に対して回転可能に取り付けられ、図1(ロ)に示すように、握り部5のベース部7側の空間部5cにヒンジ11により回転可能に取り付けられている。   The end of the puller 2 on the side opposite to the fixed portion 6 is composed of a grip portion 5, and the grip portion 5 and the fixed portion 6 are connected by a base portion 7. One side 5 a in the front and back direction of the door plate of the grip portion 5 is formed by a closed surface, and the other side 5 b is a side frame formed along the opening side of the door plate 3. A space 5c to which the switching means 8 is attached is formed on the base 7 side. The switching means 8 includes an engaging portion 12, a first support portion 9, and a second support portion 10. The switching means 8 is rotatably attached to the pull handle 2 and is rotatably attached to the space portion 5c on the base portion 7 side of the grip portion 5 by a hinge 11, as shown in FIG. .

切替手段8は、戸板の引き残し状態において図1(ロ)に示すように、固定部6およびベース部7に沿い、第2支持部10の一方の端部は係合部12と連続し、もう一方の端部は第1支持部9と連続する。第1支持部9の長さは戸板の端部より、引き残し幅に必要な長さに設定されている。第1支持部9の端部には第1緩衝材13が貼付されている。第2支持部10のベース部7側には第2緩衝材14は貼付されており、ベース部7と切替手段8とが摩擦により異音が発生するのを防止する。   As shown in FIG. 1 (b) in the state in which the doorboard is left behind, the switching means 8 is along the fixed portion 6 and the base portion 7, and one end portion of the second support portion 10 is continuous with the engaging portion 12, The other end portion is continuous with the first support portion 9. The length of the 1st support part 9 is set to the length required for the leaving width from the edge part of a doorplate. A first cushioning material 13 is affixed to the end of the first support portion 9. The second cushioning material 14 is affixed to the base portion 7 side of the second support portion 10 to prevent the base portion 7 and the switching means 8 from generating abnormal noise due to friction.

図2(イ)に示すように戸板の引き残し状態において、切替手段8は係合部12が図示しないロック機構により回動不能に固定される。図2(ロ)に示すように第1支持部9の端部が戸板4の側面に突設することで、引き戸3が戸板4内に収納されるのが防止され、戸板が引き残し状態になる。第1支持部9の端部には第1緩衝材13が貼付され、戸板3の開閉時に第1支持部9が戸袋4に突設しても衝撃を和らげ音鳴りの発生を防止する。また、引き手2は長手方向に伸びる長尺物からなり、戸板の開口側の側部の上端部から下端部まで連続して設けられているため、引き戸を操作する人は戸板の開口側の側部の上端部から下端部までのどこも持って操作してもよく、大人であっても子供であっても車椅子に乗っている人でも誰でも容易に操作し、引き戸の開閉を行うことができる。   As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the switching means 8 is fixed so that the engaging portion 12 cannot be rotated by a lock mechanism (not shown) in the state in which the door panel is left behind. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the end portion of the first support portion 9 protrudes from the side surface of the door plate 4 to prevent the sliding door 3 from being housed in the door plate 4, and the door plate remains in the undrawn state. Become. The first cushioning material 13 is affixed to the end of the first support portion 9, and even if the first support portion 9 protrudes from the door pocket 4 when the door plate 3 is opened and closed, the impact is reduced and the generation of noise is prevented. Further, the puller 2 is formed of a long object extending in the longitudinal direction and is provided continuously from the upper end to the lower end of the side of the door plate on the opening side. It can be operated anywhere from the upper end to the lower end of the side, and can be operated easily by anyone, whether it is an adult, a child, or a person in a wheelchair, and opens and closes the sliding door. it can.

一方、戸板の引き残し状態から引き込み状態へは次のようにして変更する。図3(イ)、(ロ)に示すように、切替手段8の図示しないロック機構を解除し、切替手段をヒンジ11を中心に90度回転させる。切替手段は係合部12が図示しないロック機構により回動不能に固定される。   On the other hand, the door panel is changed from the undrawn state to the retracted state as follows. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the locking mechanism (not shown) of the switching means 8 is released, and the switching means is rotated 90 degrees around the hinge 11. The switching means is fixed so that the engaging portion 12 cannot be rotated by a lock mechanism (not shown).

戸板の引き込み状態では、図3(ハ)に示すように第1支持部9が引き戸の表裏面方向に進出するとともに、第2支持部10が戸板3の開口側の端部と相対し、戸板3は戸袋4の端部に第2支持部10が第2緩衝材14を介して当接するまで引き込まれ、戸板3が戸袋4内に引き込まれることを妨げられない。第2支持部10の側面に貼付された第2緩衝材14が戸袋4の端部と接触することで、戸板3が戸袋4に収納された場合の衝撃や音鳴りの発生を防止する。また、第1支持部9が引き戸の表裏面方向に進出しているため、戸板3を戸袋4から引き出す際の持ち手として機能し、誰でも容易に引き込み状態の引き戸を引き出すことができる。   In the retracted state of the door plate, as shown in FIG. 3C, the first support portion 9 advances in the front and back direction of the sliding door, and the second support portion 10 faces the opening side end portion of the door plate 3, 3 is pulled in until the second support portion 10 abuts the end portion of the door pocket 4 via the second cushioning material 14, and the door plate 3 is not prevented from being pulled into the door pocket 4. The second cushioning material 14 affixed to the side surface of the second support portion 10 comes into contact with the end portion of the door pocket 4, thereby preventing the occurrence of impact and noise when the door plate 3 is stored in the door pocket 4. Moreover, since the 1st support part 9 has advanced to the front-back surface direction of a sliding door, it functions as a handle at the time of pulling out the door plate 3 from the door pocket 4, and anyone can pull out the sliding door of a retracted state easily.

戸板の引き込み状態から引き残し状態へは次のようにして変更する。図3(ニ)、(ホ)に示すように、切替手段8の図示しないロック機構を解除し、切替手段をヒンジ11を中心に90度回転させる。切替手段は係合部12が図示しないロック機構により引き残し状態で回動不能に固定される。   Change from the retracted state of the doorboard to the undrawn state as follows. As shown in FIGS. 3 (d) and 3 (e), the locking mechanism (not shown) of the switching means 8 is released, and the switching means is rotated 90 degrees about the hinge 11. The switching means is fixed so that the engaging portion 12 cannot be rotated in a state of being left behind by a lock mechanism (not shown).

以上に、本発明の実施形態を示したが、本発明はこれに限られるものではなく、発明思想を逸脱しない範囲で各種の変更が可能である。例えば、上記の実施形態では、切替手段を戸板の一方の側に設けた場合について示したが、戸板の両方に設けてもよい。また、戸板の形状、切替手段の形状についても特に限定はなく、上記のように切替手段をヒンジにより回動可能としてもよいし、切替手段を一旦取り外してから、固定し直す形式でもよい。また、切替手段の固定も嵌合により引き手と固定してもよいし、ボルトなどの締結部材を用いて固定してもよい。   Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the switching unit is provided on one side of the door plate is shown, but it may be provided on both of the door plates. Further, the shape of the door plate and the shape of the switching means are not particularly limited, and the switching means may be rotatable by a hinge as described above, or may be a form in which the switching means is once removed and then fixed again.
