The pair ofroof doors 102 are manually opened and closed by the medium of manipulation of ahandle 103 which is arranged at a front end of thecontainer body 101. When the pair ofroof doors 102 are opened and closed by the medium of the manipulation of thehandle 103, areduction gear 105 which is disposed so as to reduce an opening and closing velocity of the pair ofroof doors 102, is actuated by continuous rotation of thehandle 103. Thereduction gear 105 transfers power which is generated by the rotation of thehandle 103, through afirst chain 104 and asecond chain 106 to a pair ofgear boxes 112, so that a velocity is reduced. - The pair of
gear boxes 112 respectively rotate a pair of drivingshafts 109 which extend in a forward and rearward direction at both sides of thecontainer body 101. Eachroof door 102 is secured at one widthwise end thereof to eachdriving shaft 109. The pair ofroof doors 102 are rotated about the pair of drivingshafts 109 by the medium of rotation of the pair of drivingshafts 109 in a manner such that they open or close the upper end of thecontainer body 101. - However, the conventional roof opening type container constructed as mentioned above suffers from defects in that, since power for opening and closing the pair of
roof doors 102 is transferred from thehandle 103 through thereduction gear 105, the first andsecond chains driving shafts 109 to the pair ofroof doors 102, when the pair ofroof doors 102 are initially opened or closed, a great deal of effort is required, and thereby the opening and closing velocity of the pair ofroof doors 102 cannot but be slowed. For example, in order to open or close the pair ofroof doors 102 through 270° , while being influenced by a diameter of sprockets which are connected with the first andsecond chains handle 103 must be rotated by about fifty-three revolutions. - Also, when the pair of
roof doors 102 are opened and closed, as the center of gravity of eachroof door 102 continuously moves, a play is developed in each of the first andsecond chains - Accordingly, the present invention has been made in an effort to solve the problems occurring in the related art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a roof door opening and closing device for a roof opening type container, which enables a pair of roof doors to be easily and quickly opened and closed, improves safety upon opening and closing of the roof doors, and enhances durability of the roof doors.
