First, with reference to FIG. 3, a description will be given of an example of a structure and an example of attachment of a closing member according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view for explaining a configuration example and a mounting example of the closing member according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] As shown in FIG.
0 and the second member 11. First member 10
Is made of a relatively hard material such as a steel plate. In terms of shape,
It is composed of a single long plate 10a in the shutter width direction and a rail groove 10b formed by bending one long side of the single long plate 10a. A single plate 10a has a predetermined number of bolt insertion holes 10c. Rail groove 10
b is formed by bending a long side of the single plate 10a into a substantially U-shape and forming a cross-sectional shape in which the front end of the U-shape is folded inward into the U-shape. 1 board of length 1
0a has the same size as the long side. As a result, the rail groove 10b opens outside in the short direction of the single plate 10a. The reason why the inside of the U-shape is folded back is to make the second member 11 a claw for preventing falling off.

The second member 11 has a distal end 11a and a proximal end 1a.
1b. The base end portion 11b is made of a relatively hard material such as a steel plate like the first member 10, and has a cross-sectional shape that can be inserted into the rail groove 10b, and is elongated in a direction perpendicular to the cross-section. It has a stick shape. The length is the same as the long side of the single plate 10a. The distal end portion 11a is made of mohair (angola goat hair) having long hair feet and arranged in a straight line with the directions and heights aligned, and the base end of the mohair is fixed to the base end portion 11b. Specifically, the base end 11b
The base end of the mohair is fixed to a surface where the base end 11b is exposed from the opening of the rail groove 10b when is inserted into the rail groove 10b.

Instead of the second member 11, the second member 1
2 may be used. The second member 12 is such that the tip 11a of the second member 11 is a tip 12a made of a rubber material.

Next, the mounting method will be described. At the lower edge of the bottom slat 9, a seat plate 9a is formed horizontally in a direction toward the inside of the shutter. Also, the seat plate 9a
Are provided with the same number of bolt insertion holes 9b as the bolt insertion holes 10c at positions corresponding to the bolt insertion holes 10c. After mounting the first member 10 on the seat plate 9a and aligning the bolt insertion holes 10c with the bolt insertion holes 9b, the same number of bolts 13a as the bolt insertion holes 10c are passed through the holes, respectively.
The nut 13b is screwed into the tip of the penetrating bolt 13a, and the first member 10 is fixed to the seat plate 9a. Next, the base end 11b of the second member 11 is inserted from any one side end of the rail groove 10b, and is slid into the rail groove 10b by sliding in the longitudinal direction of the rail groove 10b. At this time, the mohair at the tip 11a projects horizontally from the rail groove 10b toward the inside of the shutter.
Further, the base end 11b is held by the drop-off preventing claws provided in the rail groove 10b,

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention when the shutter is opened will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the upper quarter of the embodiment of the present invention when the shutter is open. FIG. 2 shows A in FIG.
FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first member 1
By the plugging material composed of 0 and the second member 11,
The gap between the peripheral edge of the slat curtain accommodating opening 5 and the bottom slat 9 when the shutter is opened is closed on the inside of the shutter. More specifically, about a quarter of the distal end of the distal end portion 11a overlaps and contacts the edge of the slat curtain accommodating opening 5, so that the gap is closed. Such a state prevents invasion of small animals such as bats. The edge of the slat curtain receiving opening 5 is in contact with the second member 11.
The impact when opening the shutter is reduced by the elasticity of the mohair. Therefore,
When the shutter is opened, the impact sound of the closing material colliding with the shutter case 1 is small, and the closing material 1 due to the collision is small.
0, 11 and the shutter case 1 are hardly damaged or deteriorated. When the second member 12 is used as described above, the impact when opening the shutter is reduced by the elasticity of the rubber material at the distal end portion 11a. Even if it is not a mohair or rubber material, it is recommended to use a material having a better cushioning property than the first member using a relatively hard material such as a steel plate.

If the mohair at the distal end 11a or the rubber material at the distal end 12a is deteriorated and needs to be replaced, the base ends 11b and 12b are pulled out from the rail groove 10b and only the second member is removed. Replacement work is easy.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the closing material is attached to the bottom slat, small animals such as bats can enter the shutter case from the gap between the bottom slat and the slat curtain accommodating opening when the shutter is opened. There is an effect that can be prevented.
