The guide plate 97 has a vertical rectangular shape from the upper end 970, the lower end 971, and the side edges 972 and 973, and an insertion hole 974 for the screw 98 is formed in the surface portion. An insertion hole 911 for the screw 98 (an insertion hole for the second side surface 92 is not shown) is formed in the first side surface 91 and the second side surface 92 of the base 9. The guide mounting piece 96 and the guide plate 97 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the first side surface 91 and the second side surface 92 of the base 9 at predetermined height positions by using screws 98.

As shown in FIG. 10, vertical rectangular guide openings 810 and 820 for receiving the guide plate 97 are formed on the first side 81 and the second side 82 of the slider 8. The height dimension of the guide openings 810 and 820 is larger than the height dimension of the guide plate 97, and the width dimension thereof is slightly larger than the width dimension of the guide plate 97 (the first side 81 relative to the guide plate 97). , And the second side edge 82 is in close contact with the slide edge 82). The guide plate 97 fixed to the base 9 is relatively slidably received in the guide openings 810 and 820 of the first side 81 and the second side 82 of the slider 8, and the height position is fixed. The first side 81 and the second side 82 of the slider 8 are adapted to slide vertically with respect to the guide plate 97. Note that the slide mechanism of the slider 8 is not limited to the one using the guide openings 810, 820 and the guide plate 97, and other configurations can be adopted.

When the slider 8 is at the lower position, the upper end 970 of the guide plate 97 is in contact with the upper end edges 8100 and 8200 of the guide openings 810 and 820 of the first side 81 and the second side 82. When the slider 8 is at the upper position, the lower ends 971 of the guide plates 97 are in contact with the lower edges 8101 and 8201 of the guide openings 810 and 820 of the first side 81 and the second side 82, respectively. When an upward force is applied to the slider 8 in the upper position, the lower edges 8101 and 8201 of the guide openings 810 and 820 of the first side 81 and the second side 82 come into contact with the lower ends 971 of the guide plates 97 to guide the guides. It acts as a force that pushes up the plate 97, and acts as a force that raises the base 9 to which the guide plate 97 is fixed and the panel 1 to which the base 9 is fixed. In one aspect, the latch 5 in the first position (locked posture) is in the second position (unlocked posture) before the slider 8 moves up to the upper position. Further, before the slider 8 moves up to the upper position, the lifting of the panel 1 may be started by the biasing force of the balance spring 15 in the winding direction via the suspension wire 18.

The inner surfaces of the first side edge 81 and the second side edge 82 of the slider 8 are close to the vertical surface 960 of the guide mounting piece 96 fixed to the base 9 with a slight gap. Since the upper and lower corners of the guide mounting piece 97 (particularly the lower corners) are curved, the first side 81 and the second side 82 contact the corners when the slider 8 moves up and down. Without making it possible, it enables smooth vertical sliding.

When the slider 8 is at the lower position, the upper edges 8100 and 8200 (see FIG. 10) of the guide openings 810 and 820 of the first side 81 and the second side 82 are located at the upper end 970 of the guide plate 97 (see FIG. 12B). ) See). As shown in FIG. 8, when the slider 8 is at the lower position, the lower end of the first guide pulley 93, the lower end of the second guide pulley 94 and the upper surface portion 840 of the push-up portion 84 are at substantially the same height position, The first wire 70 and the second wire 71 extend substantially horizontally through the lower side of the first guide pulley 93 and the lower side of the second guide pulley 94. The right end of the left first guide pulley 93 is located slightly left of the left end of the left first curved surface 841 of the upper surface portion 840 of the push-up portion 84, and the left side of the right second guide pulley 94. The end is located slightly to the right of the right end of the second curved surface 842 on the right side of the upper surface portion 840 of the push-up portion 84.

When the left and right latches 5 are in the first position, the slider 8 is in the lower position, and the first portion 70 and the second portion 71 of the wire 7 extend horizontally in the width direction of the panel 1 (FIG. 4). When the slider 8 in the lower position is pushed upward from this state, the slider 8 is guided by the guide plate 97 through the guide openings 810 and 820 formed in the first side 81 and the second side 82. Move up. With the upward movement of the slider 8, the push-up portion 84 of the slider 8 pushes up the central portion in the length direction of the wire 7 (the proximal end side of the first portion 70 and the proximal end side of the second portion 71). The first portion 70 and the second portion 71 are pulled toward the center side in the width direction of the panel 1 (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 9 ). When the base end side of the first portion 70 and the base end side of the second portion 71 of the wire 7 are pulled toward the center side in the width direction of the panel 1, the left and right latches connected to the tips of the first portion 70 and the second portion 71. 5 rotates from the first position (locking posture) to the second position (unlocking posture), and the latch 5 in the locked state is unlocked.

When the slider 8 located at the lower position is pushed upward, the lower edges 8101 and 8201 (see FIG. 10) of the guide openings 810 and 820 of the first side 81 and the second side 82 of the slider 8 move to the guide plate 97. Ascend to the upper position where it abuts the lower end 971 (see FIG. 12B). The force that pushes up the slider 8 in the upper position acts as a force in the opening direction of the door body. Therefore, when pushing up the slider 8 in the lower position, the locking mechanism is unlocked and the slider 8 moves to the upper position. After moving to, the door body is lifted by the force that moves the slider 8 upward, and the opening is opened. When the slider 8 is released after raising the door body, the slider 8 at the upper position is moved to the lower position by the pulling force of the wire 7 by the biasing force of the springs 53 of the left and right latches 5 and its own weight. , The left and right latches 5 return from the second position to the first position.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the slider 8 is at the upper position, the lower end of the first guide pulley 93, the lower end of the second guide pulley 94, and the lower ends of the first curved surface 841 and the second curved surface 842 of the push-up portion 84 are positioned. The upper surface portion 840 of the pushing-up portion 84 is located at substantially the same height position, and is located slightly above the upper ends of the first guide pulley 93 and the second guide pulley 94, and the upper portion 840 of the wire 7 is The base end side extends from the lower end of the first guide pulley 93 along the first curved surface 841 of the upper surface portion 840 of the push-up portion 84, and the base end side of the second portion 71 of the wire 7 is the second guide pulley. It extends from the lower end of 94 along the second curved surface 842 of the upper surface portion 840 of the push-up portion 84. That is, with the upward movement of the slider 8, the first curved surface 841 of the push-up portion 84 of the slider 8 abuts against the proximal end side of the first portion 70 and pushes it up, and the second curved surface 842 of the push-up portion 84 becomes the second portion. Since it is configured to abut against the base end side of 71 and push up, the damage of the wire 7 is prevented as much as possible and the durability of the wire 7 is improved when the unlocking of the locking mechanism is repeatedly executed. .. The positional relationship between the respective elements when the slider 8 is in the lower position and the upper position (for example, the positional relationship between the first guide pulley 93, the second guide pulley 94 and the push-up portion 84) is shown in the figure. However, the present invention is not limited to this mode.

In this embodiment, the overhead door can be unlocked and the door body can be opened by one action of moving the slider 8 upward, and the opening can be smoothly opened by a series of operations. Since the slider 8 moves upward in parallel with the indoor side surface portion 10 of the panel, the vector of the force that moves the slider 8 upward coincides with the vector of the force that opens (raises) the door body. The force for moving upward acts as the opening force of the door body as it is, and unnecessary force does not act on the panel 1 and the unlocking device. Further, since the slider 8 that performs the unlocking operation functions as a handle for the door opening operation, it is not necessary to provide a handle on the panel 1.

When the slider 8 is moved up, it is sufficient to bring the handle 83 from below to move it up, so it is not always necessary to grasp the handle 83. For example, wear a thick glove used for work in a refrigerated warehouse. Even in this state, the slider 8 can be easily moved upward to unlock the locking mechanism, and the door can be lifted and the opening can be opened by a series of operations as it is.
