Description

This invention relates to a partition guide device for guiding partitions that divide indoor and outdoor spaces, and to a partition device equipped with the guide device. Conventionally, partitioning devices that divide spaces using panels suspended and supported along rails have been known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a partition device (folding door) that divides a space by suspending and supporting a panel from an upper slider (runner) that moves within an upper rail, and supporting the panel so that it can move and rotate between the upper slider and a lower slider that moves within a lower rail. Furthermore, in this partition device, a shaft connecting the panel and the lower slider is attached to the panel so as to be retractable and rotatable, and the lower slider is supported by a pivot at the lower end of the shaft. This allows the panel to be moved along the upper and lower rails to partition the space. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2005-155075 This is a front view of a partition device according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is a plan view of the above partition device.This is a cross-sectional view of the partition device near the partition guide device shown above, viewed from the side.This is a front view of the connecting section of the partition guide device mentioned above.Figure 4 is an exploded view of the connecting section.This diagram illustrates how to remove the lower runner from the lower rail.This diagram illustrates another example of how to remove the lower runner from the lower rail.This is a side view of the area near the lower rail of the partition device described above.This is a cross-sectional view in the planar direction of the lower part of the connecting portion of the panel of the partition device described above.These are a front view and a side view of the locking member of the partition fixing device of the partition device described above.This figure shows a modified example of the partition fixing device described above.This figure shows a modified example of the partition fixing device described above.This is a perspective view showing the connecting portion (connecting shaft) and lower runner of the partition guide device of a partition device according to another embodiment of the present invention.This is a cross-sectional view in the side direction near the partition guide device according to the other embodiment described above.This is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in Figure 14.This is a plan view showing the partition device in the process of being opened or closed according to the other embodiment described above.This is a partially enlarged view of Figure 16(b).This is a cross-sectional view in the side direction showing a modified example of the partition guide device according to the other embodiment described above.This is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B in Figure 18. The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. [Overview of partitioning devices] Figure 1 is a front view of the partition device in this embodiment, and Figure 2 is a plan view of the partition device. As shown in these figures, the partition device 100 according to this embodiment divides one space (room, etc.) into multiple spaces (rooms, etc.) in a house, shop, office, etc., and is installed, for example, between two parallel wall surfaces W, perpendicular to the wall surfaces W. The partition device 100 comprises a hanger rail 6 (upper rail) supported on a ceiling surface (not shown), an upper runner 7 that moves along the inner wall of the hanger rail 6, a plurality of panels 1 (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) suspended and supported by the upper runner 7, a lower rail 8 laid on the floor surface F, and a partition guide device 20 that guides each panel 1 along the lower rail 8. As shown in Figure 2, of the panels 1, only panel 1a is installed on the front side in the Z direction, while panels 1b, 1c, and 1d are installed on the back side. However, the arrangement of each panel 1 is not limited to this. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the lower rail 8 has a rail cap 14 at its longitudinal (X-direction) end, which is at least partially detachable. Each panel 1 is constructed by connecting a pair of vertically elongated rectangular panel materials 2 via hinges 5, allowing them to rotate around an axis in the Y-axis direction of each panel so that they can be folded. Horizontal frames 3 are provided at the top and bottom ends of the panel materials 2, and vertical frames 4 are provided at the left and right ends of the panel materials 2. Panel material 2 is formed from, for example, transparent or translucent synthetic resin or wood, and horizontal frames 3 and vertical frames 4 are formed from metals such as aluminum, but the materials are not limited to these. The upper runner 7 is provided at the upper end of the horizontal frame 3 on the upper end side of panel 1, and a sealing rubber 9
