Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a staircase for a house and a staircase assisting device for a house, and more particularly to a staircase for a house for assisting a person with a physical disability, such as an elderly person, to go up and down the stairs. And stair aids for houses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to cope with an aging society which will be arriving in the future or to make a house where disabled people can easily live, it has been studied to make the structure of the house as safe as possible. However, on the other hand, considering the housing situation in Japan, it is not easy to secure a spacious housing environment by taking a large site area, and there is a current situation in which a two- or three-story housing structure must be used. Therefore, the existence of stairs is indispensable in a house in Japan, and it is desired that the stairs have a structure that is safe for a disabled person such as an elderly person.

[0003] As a conventional example in which a staircase has a safe structure, for example, a staircase structure as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-131449 has been proposed. This is because a person who moves horizontally on the floor can move up and down the stairs smoothly, and a person who moves up and down the stairs can move smoothly to the floor. A ramp is formed at the ascending and descending entrances of the stairs, and the steps of the stairs are gradually increased.

[0004] As another conventional example, it has been proposed to provide an ascending and descending device on the stairs so that a person with a disability such as the elderly can use the stairs safely. According to this, a stair railing is used as a rail, and a chair unit that moves up and down along the rail is provided. An operator sits on the chair unit and moves the chair unit in the vertical direction of the stairs by a driving force of an electric motor or the like. It is something to move.

[0005]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional stair structure, the steps of the stairs are low at the entrance and the exit of the stairs, which is safe, but the normal steps are formed at the middle part of the steps. However, it is not necessarily a staircase structure because it is easy to use for people with physical disabilities, such as the elderly, and it is difficult to use it for healthy people living together because the steps of the stairs change. ing.

[0006] Further, as described above, the stairs provided with the elevating device require sufficient strength for the chair portion and the guide rail, and also require the driving force of an electric motor or the like. And the weight of the entire device also increases. Therefore, if such an elevating device is installed on a stair in a house, the width of the stair is reduced, which is extremely inconvenient for a healthy person who does not need it. Further, in a wooden house, there is a problem that reinforcement work is required on the stairs and side walls thereof for installation of the elevating device, and the device itself is expensive, so that there is a problem that the cost is increased as a whole.

[0007] On the other hand, the stair climbing and descending, which is a painful daily operation for the elderly, etc., is also a rehabilitation operation for the legs and hips weakened by aging and the like. Therefore, if the legs are weak and hindrance to stairs is hindered, or if the above-mentioned elevating device is used, the rehabilitation effect by stairs elevating is lost, and the legs are further weakened.

The present invention has been proposed in order to cope with the above-mentioned circumstances, and is easy to use for persons with physical disabilities, such as the elderly, without requiring a large amount of expenses, and for living together. Has no effect on the stairs going up and down
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a stair for a house or a stair aid for a house capable of producing a rehabilitation effect for the elderly or the like.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention first provides a structure of a staircase for a house, in which each staircase has a required width and a normal step, and a floor surface of the normal staircase. On one side in the width direction, approximately 1 /
An auxiliary step having a width of about half the height of the normal step is formed in three widths.

In addition, as a housing stair aid for forming the structure of the housing stairs, each of the normal stairs having a required width and a normal step and one of the width directions on the floor surface of the normal stairs. About 1/3 of the required width
An auxiliary step having a width that is approximately half the height of the normal step is formed.

[0011] Further, as a specific structure of the above-mentioned residential stair aid, it is composed of a base for bonding a bottom surface to the ordinary stairs, and a step plate fixed to the upper surface of the base.

According to the configuration of the present invention, a disabled person such as an elderly person takes the first step on an auxiliary step on the floor provided with a step substantially half the step of the stairs. From the first step of the normal stairs diagonally upward, and then the third step to an auxiliary step formed on one side of the first step of the normal stairs. This is repeated to go up the stairs and vice versa. Therefore, a person with a disability, such as an elderly person, can move up and down the stairs at a step approximately half the normal step. Also, since the auxiliary steps are formed only on one side of the stairs,
On the other side of the stairs, a normal stair will be formed with a normal step. Therefore, a healthy person can go up and down the normal stairs without any obstacle.

In addition, according to the above configuration, a person with a physical disability, such as an elderly person, takes the first step laterally and steps the second step diagonally upward or downward to climb the stairs. Is slightly more complicated than moving up and down stairs.
According to this, the movement of opening the legs is added to the ascending and descending operation of the stairs, and a rehabilitation effect for facilitating walking can be expected for a disabled person such as an elderly person.

By forming the above-mentioned staircase structure with the above-mentioned housing staircase aid, the ordinary staircase is changed to a structure which can be easily used by people with physical disabilities, such as the elderly, without remodeling. be able to. In addition, even for an infant who cannot go up and down because the normal stairs are too high, the stairs can be moved up and down by using the housing stair aid of the present invention. Further, the stair aid for a house is composed of a base and a step board as described above, and is inexpensive and does not require a space for storage and transportation.
