  • Patent number: 11746585
    Abstract: A first end portion of a connecting part of a connecting member reaches a locked member arranged such that the thickness direction of one of two construction materials is an axial direction N, and a second end portion of the connecting part reaches the other one of the two construction materials. The second end portion is formed to have a torsion angle ? as an inclination angle to the axial direction N. When the second end portion is coupled with the other construction material by a coupling fitting, the torsion angle ? reduces or disappears, a torsion angle to the axial direction N is generated in the first end portion, the first end portion locks on the locked member, and the connecting member connects the two construction materials.

  • Patent number: 9670697
    Abstract: A door is formed into a folding door by dividing the door into two parts to left and right, that is, a hanging door and a door-end door pivotally supported by the hanging door, and the door-end door is used as the pressure difference mitigating mechanism, and the two doors are integrally operated in a normal time, while if a pressure difference is generated, the door-end door can be first opened in order to reduce an opening force, and the door device with a pressure difference mitigating mechanism with excellent operability is provided. A handle position, a latch position, and a torque are adjusted for a handle for door opening/closing, a door closer, a hinge closer for rotating the door-end door with respect to the hanging door, a latch A of the door-end door to a door frame, and a latch B of the door-end door to the hanging door.

  • Patent number: 5072766
    Abstract: In a panel shutter assembly including a plurality of shutter panels which are movable up and down along a pair of transversely spaced upstanding guide rails, a pair of chains to which the panels are fastened one after another, a set of sprockets engaging the chains for moving the chains in either direction to move the panels to open and close a shutter opening, and a pair of panel supporting rails from which the panels are suspended in a panel storage space when the shutter opening is opened, the sprockets consist of a pair of first sprockets for moving the panels up and down and a pair of sound sprockets spaced horizontally apart from the first sprockets and provided between the first sprockets and the panel storage space for moving the panels horizontally, and the panel supporting rails extend horizontally. The horizontal supporting rails enable a reduction in height of a box defining the panel storage space.

  • Patent number: 5065806
    Abstract: A panel shutter assembly includes a plurality of shutter panels supported one after another between a pair of chains. Each panel is suspended from a pair of pins carried by the two chains, respectively, and each chain, therefore, carries a plurality of pins. Each chain includes a plurality of spaced apart link attachments each having a longitudinally extending pin guide slot through which one of the pins extends slidably along the slot. The chains engage a pair of sprockets, respectively. A pair of arms are supported respectively on the shafts on which the sprockets are rotatably supported. The arms are rotatable with the sprockets and extend radially of the sprockets to project beyond the outer peripheries thereof to engage each pair of pins that have approached the sprockets.
