Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an opening/closing body opening/closing device capable of effectively preventing water such as rainwater flowing down from an opening/closing body carried by a carrier plate from adhering to a guide rail. The opening/closing body opening/closing device includes a carrier plate that carries an opening/closing body, and a guide rail that guides movement of the carrier plate in a lifting and lowering direction of the opening/closing body. The carrier plate includes, at an upper end portion, a water holding section that holds water reaching the upper end portion of the carrier plate from above. The water holding section includes a water receiving section that faces upward and receives the reaching water, and an outflow preventing section provided with a preventing surface that faces the water receiving section side and prevents the water from flowing out to the guide rail.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An opening and closing body opening and closing device, comprising: a carrier plate that carries an opening and closing body; and a guide rail that has a curved shape and guides movement of the carrier plate in a lifting and lowering direction of the opening and closing body, wherein: the carrier plate comprises, at an upper end portion of the carrier plate, a water holding section that holds water reaching the upper end portion from above the carrier plate, and the water holding section comprises: a water receiving section that faces upward and receives a reaching water, an outflow preventing section provided with a preventing surface that faces a side of the water receiving section and prevents the water from flowing out to the guide rail, and on a side opposite to the side of the guide rail in the water receiving section, an extension surface that extends to a side opposite to the guide rail and inclines upward with respect to the water receiving section, and when the carrier plate moves downward from a position on an upper end side of the guide rail, the carrier plate moves so that the extension surface inclines downward, and the water receiving section is placed between the preventing surface of the outflow preventing section and the extension surface in a thickness direction of the carrier plate. 2. The opening and closing body opening and closing device according to claim 1 , wherein: the carrier plate further comprises a water discharge section that discharges the water to a lateral side or a lower side of the carrier plate, and the water discharge section comprises a connecting section that is connected to the water holding section such that the water in the water holding section is dischargeable. 3. The opening and closing body opening and closing device according to claim 1 , wherein the outflow preventing section is erected on a side of the guide rail in the water receiving section.
