Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handrail capable of supporting a person with a disability when using a urinal, and more particularly to a handrail in contact with a human body for stably supporting the human body. Related to handrails that can be considered.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional handrail according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6. Side handrails 22, 23 are provided on the side of a urinal 21 hung on a wall surface, and the handrails are straddled downward. A U-shaped human body supporting handrail 24 that opens toward is fixed. Then, a person with a disability pushes the human body, particularly the chest, against the horizontal part of the supporting handrail, and adds his / her body in a state where the body is left.

[0003]

However, if the horizontal portion is straight when supporting the human body, the user supporting the human body may slide in the lateral direction. Therefore, the side handrail is grasped with at least one hand, and the local part is moved with one hand. In such a case, the clothes and urinals are soiled and the user feels oppression.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a person with a disability while using a urinal while stably supporting the human body. It is to provide a handrail that can be added.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a side handrail attached to both side walls of a urinal wall-mounted on a wall, and a human body installed over the side handrail. And a supporting handrail for supporting a toilet, characterized in that at least a part of the supporting handrail supporting a human body is curved toward a wall surface. Since at least the portion supporting the human body is curved toward the wall surface, the user can leave the body in this curved portion, so that the user's body can be stably supported and used.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the supporting handrail supporting a human body has a vertically long elliptical cross section. Since at least the portion for supporting the human body is formed in a vertically long elliptical shape, the area for supporting the human body is increased, the stability is improved, and the user does not feel pain.

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, at least a portion of the supporting handrail supporting a human body is provided with an elastic body. Since the elastic body is provided at the part supporting the human body, the handrail does not hurt when the user leaves the body in the handrail.

[0008] In a preferred aspect of the present invention, non-slip means is applied to at least a part of the supporting handrail supporting a human body. Further, by applying a non-slip to a portion supporting the human body, the body can be supported more stably.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing the present invention. Side handrails 2 and 3 are fixed to and provided on both sides of a urinal 1 hung on a wall W. The side handrails 2 and 3 have a U-shape and are fixed to the wall W at two places and can sufficiently withstand the weight of the user.

In the supporting handrail 4, a portion 5 for supporting a human body is curved toward a wall so that the user's body is easily supported. If the human body supporting portion 5 has a vertically long elliptical cross section, the supporting area increases, and the body can be stably supported when the body is left.

When an elastic body 6 is attached to the human body supporting portion 5 as shown in FIG. 3, the user does not feel pain when leaving the body. In addition, the portion of the human body supporting portion 5 may be provided with an uneven slip prevention. Although at least the user's body is stabilized by bending the human body supporting portion 5 by bending, the non-slip can further stabilize the user. Further, the non-slip 7 may be provided integrally with the elastic body.

The human body supporting portion 5 of the supporting handrail 4 may alternatively have a horizontal U-shape, a semicircular shape, or the like. In FIG.
An example in which the entire support handrail 4 is curved is shown. In addition, a non-slip agent is applied to a portion supporting the human body.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the connection between the handrails 2 and 3 and the supporting handrail 4. The support handrail 4 is fixed to the upper tube of the handrails 2 and 3 with screws 9 in a hole that is opened through the upper part of the pipe so that the upper part has a small diameter and the lower part has a large diameter. After fixing with the screw, the large-diameter hole below the upper tube is closed with the lid 10. Further, even when a plurality of opening holes are formed due to the depth dimension of the urinal, the holes are not closed by the lid, so that a finger is not inserted into the holes.

The handrail may be made of a stainless steel tube, a brass tube, a resin tube, or the like, or a combination of a side handrail and a stainless steel tube supporting handrail, such as a resin tube.

[0015]

According to the present invention, the following effects are exhibited by the above configuration. A urinal handrail, comprising: a side handrail attached to a wall surface on both sides of a urinal wall-mounted on a wall surface; Is curved toward the wall surface, so that the user can stably support the body of the user by leaving the body in the curved portion.
