Abstract

The door guiding device 5 for a push-in type door comprises a plurality of guiding rails 10 extending horizontally along a back-and-forth direction while being apart up-and-down from each other and being fixed to the lateral wall 1 b of the receiver body 1 ; a plurality of sliders 20 each supported by the plurality of guiding rails 10 slidably to the front and rear direction; in interlocking frame 30 extending vertically (vertical frame) and being linked with the plurality of the sliders; and a hinge mechanism 50 disposed to the slider or the interlocking frame 30 for supporting the door 2 rotatably about the rotational axis line. One end of a turnbuckle 60 (support member) is linked with the slider 20 and another end is linked with the interlocking frame 30 . A position of the forward-inclined door 2 by a deadweight is corrected to a vertical standing position by the turnbuckle 60.

Claims (39)

1. A door guiding device for supporting a door for opening and closing an opening of a receiver body rotatably about a rotational axis line extending in a vertical direction while guiding the door inward from an opening position along a lateral wall of the receiver body, the door guiding device comprises:

a plurality of guiding rails extending horizontally along a horizontal direction, while being separated from each other and being fixed to the lateral wall of the receiver body,

a plurality of sliders each supported by the plurality of guiding rails slidably in the horizontal direction,

a vertical frame linked with the plurality of the sliders, and

a hinge mechanism disposed on at least one slider of the sliders or the vertical frame for supporting the door rotatably about the rotational axis line,

wherein a support component is located between the slider and the vertical frame,

the support component comprises an adjustment component for correcting an angle between the slider and the vertical frame so as to correct the door to a vertical standing position by setting the rotational axis line vertical,

the support component comprises at least one support member,

the adjustment component is configured such that to be able to adjust a linking position between the at least one support member and the slider or the vertical frame,

wherein the adjustment component comprises a long hole formed in the slider or in the vertical frame and an engagement shaft part being disposed on the at least one support member and passing through the long hole, and

a plurality of engagement recesses is formed at an edge of the long hole, and the engagement shaft part engages selectively with any one of the plurality of the engagement recesses.

2. The door guiding device of claim 1 , wherein at least one support member is consisted of one support member and the support member is linked with the slider through a first end and is linked with the vertical frame through a second end.

3. The door guiding device of claim 2 , wherein an axis line connecting the first end and the second end of the support member is inclined.

4. The door guiding device of claim 2 , wherein the first end of the support member is linked with the slider at a position apart from the vertical frame.

5. The door guiding device of claim 2 , wherein the support member overlaps to the vertical frame and the first end is linked to the slider without restriction from the vertical frame.

6. The door guiding device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one support member comprises a first support member and a second support member and the first support member extends in a longitudinal direction of the vertical frame,

the vertical frame is rotatably linked with the slider at a first linking point,

the first support member is rotatably linked with the slider at a second linking point apart from the first linking point in the horizontal direction,

one end of the second support member is rotatably linked with the first support member at a third linking point apart from the second linking point in the vertical direction, and

the adjustment component comprises the long hole formed to the vertical frame and the engagement shaft disposed to another end of the second support member such that the engagement shaft part is provided as a fourth linking point for linking the second support member and the vertical frame.

7. The door guiding device of claim 6 , wherein the first support member and the second support member are overlapped on the vertical frame.

8. The door guiding device of claim 6 , wherein the first support member is disposed apart from the vertical frame in the horizontal direction and the second support member is spanned between the first support member and the vertical frame.

9. The door guiding device of claim 1 , wherein at least one support member is consisted of one support member and the support member is linked with the slider through a first end and is linked with the vertical frame through a second end.

10. A door guiding device for supporting a door for opening and closing an opening of a receiver body rotatably about a rotational axis line extending in a vertical direction while guiding the door inward from an opening position along a lateral wall of the receiver body, the door guiding device comprises:

a plurality of guiding rails extending horizontally along a horizontal direction, while being separated from each other and being fixed to the lateral wall of the receiver body,

a plurality of sliders each supported by the plurality of guiding rails slidably in the horizontal direction,

a vertical frame linked with the plurality of the sliders, and

a hinge mechanism disposed on at least one slider of the sliders or the vertical frame for supporting the door rotatably about the rotational axis line,

wherein a support component is located between the slider and the vertical frame,

the support component is linked with the slider through a first end and is linked with the vertical frame through a second end,

an adjustment component is configured so as to adjust a length of the support member, and

wherein the support member is consisted of a turnbuckle.

11. A door guiding device for supporting a door for opening and closing an opening of a receiver body rotatably about a rotational axis line extending in a vertical direction while guiding the door inward from an opening position along a lateral wall of the receiver body, the door guiding device comprises:

a plurality of guiding rails extending horizontally along a horizontal direction, while being separated from each other and being fixed to the lateral wall of the receiver body,

a plurality of sliders each supported by the plurality of guiding rails slidably in the horizontal direction,

a vertical frame linked with the plurality of the sliders, and

a hinge mechanism disposed on at least one slider of the sliders or the vertical frame for supporting the door rotatably about the rotational axis line,

wherein a support component is located between the slider and the vertical frame, and

the support component including a first support member and a second support member, the first support member extending in a longitudinal direction of the vertical frame, the second support member is rotatably connected to the first support member, and the first support member is rotatably connected to the slider.
