Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、階段や傾斜路の手摺りに関するもので、特に高齢者や身障者などが掴み易く、安全に登り下りできるようにした手摺りに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
階段には、歩行者が登り下り時に転落したり、足を踏み外したりして転倒するのを防止するために、手摺りが取り付けられる。そして、その手摺りは、通常、階段の勾配と同じ勾配に傾斜した横方向に延びる横手摺りとなっている。
【0003】
しかし、単に階段の勾配と同じ勾配に傾斜した横手摺りでは、該横手摺りを掴み難く、力も入れ難く、特に握力の弱い高齢者や身障者の場合、階段登り下り時に手摺りから手を滑らせて転倒したり、転がり落ちる危険性がある。また、屋外の階段にあっては、雨などにより手摺りが濡れている場合には、更に滑り易く、階段からの落下事故発生の原因となっている。
【0004】
そこで、特許文献1〜8に示すように、縦方向に所定寸法の縦手摺りを階段等にその登り方向に適当間隔に配設し、これらの縦手摺りを順次掴んで階段を登ることによって高齢者等は比較的に容易に登ることができる発明が提案されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上述のように単に縦手摺りを設けるだけでは、未だ握力の弱い高齢者や身障者の場合、階段の登り下り、特に下り時に手を滑らせて転倒したり、転がり落ちる危険性がある。本発明は、これらの従来技術の内在する難点を解消すること課題とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1に係る発明の手摺りは、階段や傾斜路に沿う少なくとも片側の壁面W、略縦方向に向く所定寸法の縦手摺り1が階段等の傾斜方向に一定間隔に取り付けられ、これら縦手摺り1を横断するようにして傾斜方向に延びる横手摺り2が取り付けられ、該横手摺り2を挟んでこれら縦手摺り1におけるその下部側を登り用縦手摺り部3となし、その上部側を下り用縦手摺り部4としてなる構成からなるものである。
【0008】

【0011】
請求項5に係る発明の手摺りは、横手摺り2がブラケット5を介して縦手摺り1に取り付けられてなる請求項1〜4の何れかに記載の構成からなるもである。
【0012】
請求項6に係る発明の手摺りは、登り用縦手摺り部3は階段踏み面Sに略垂直に配置されてなる請求項1〜5の何れかに記載の構成からなるものである。
【0013】
請求項7に係る発明の手摺りは、下り用縦手摺り部4は横手摺り2に対し略垂直に配置されてなる請求項1〜6の何れかに記載の構成からなるものである。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は本発明の一実施形態による手摺りを設けた階段の側面図、図2は該手摺りの要部の拡大正面図、図3は該手摺りの縦断側面図である。この手摺りは、階段Sに沿う壁面Wに、その傾斜方向に段違いに略縦方向に向く所定寸法の縦手摺り1…が一定間隔置きに取り付けられ、これら縦手摺り1…を横断するようにして傾斜方向に沿って延びる横手摺り2がブラケット5を介して取り付けられ、該横手摺り2を挟んで、これら縦手摺り1におけるその下部側、即ち縦手摺り1の下半部1aが鉛直方向に沿う直線状に、言い換えれば階段Kの踏み面Sに対し垂直に配置されて、この下半部1aを登り用縦手摺り部3となし、縦手摺り1における横手摺り2を挟んでその上部側、即ち縦手摺り1の上半部1bが階下側へ湾曲した形状をなし、言い換えれば横手摺り2に対して略垂直方向になるよう登り用縦手摺り部3の上端部から湾曲して形成され、この湾曲した上半部1bを下り用縦手摺り部4としてなる。
【0015】
そして、縦手摺り1の上下端部における壁面Wへの固着は、図3に示すように、直角ベンド形取付部材6の一端側のフランジ部6aを壁面Wにビス7で固着し、該取付部材6の他端開口部6bに縦手摺り1の端部を挿嵌し、この挿嵌部分でビス7止めしている。
【0016】
また、横手摺り2は木材あるいは木材と樹脂との合成材等からなる直線状の棒体にて構成され、図2の(ロ)に示すように、縦手摺り1に対してブラケット5…を介して通路側へ突出していることから、縦手摺り1…よりも壁面Wから離れた位置に配置されていることになり、なお、該横手摺り2の両端部も図1に示すように直角ベンド型取付部材6によって壁面Wに固着されていることになる。
【0017】
また、ブラケット5は、図4に示すように、二つのT型パイプ8,8と直角ベンド9とで構成されており、T型パイプ8,8の各直管部8aをそれぞれ縦手摺り1及び横手摺り2に外嵌させてビス7止めし、両T型パイプ8,8の分岐管部8b,8bの縮径した先端部を直角ベンド9の両端開口に挿嵌させ、これら挿嵌部分でビス7止めすることにより、縦手摺り1と横手摺り2とを連結するようになっている。そして、この際に横手摺り2の傾斜角度に合わせて直角ベンド9とこれに嵌合される縦手摺り1側のT型パイプ8の分岐管部8bと相互に周方向に回転調整することによって容易に横手摺り2の傾斜角度に合致させることができ、この合致した位置でビス7止めすればよい。
【0018】
本発明の実施形態では、縦手摺り1に登り用縦手摺り部3と下り用縦手摺り部4とが一体に形成されているが、この実施形態に限定されることはなく、横手摺り2に長手方向に位置を変えて登り用縦手摺り部3用の手摺り材と下り用縦手摺り部4用の手摺り材とを同じ構造のブラケット5を介して横手摺り2に別々に取り付けるようにしてもよいが、本発明の実施形態のように一本の縦手摺り1に登り用縦手摺り部3と下り用縦手摺り部4とを一体に形成する方が安価に製作することができる。
【0019】
上記構成の手摺りでは、階段Kの各段毎に対応して一定間隔置きに設けた縦手摺り1…と、階段Kの勾配に対応して傾斜配置した横手摺り2とを有するから、例えば階段Kを登る際には横手摺り2を掴んで身体のバランスを取る一方、該階段Kを下る際には縦手摺り1…の下り用縦手摺り部4を利用し、一段下る毎に次の縦手摺り1に持ち替えて身体をしっかりと支えながら歩みを進めることができる。また高齢者や身障者が階段Kを登る際に横手摺り2を掴んで登るのが不安であれば、各階段Kの段毎に設けれた縦手摺り1の登り用縦手摺り部3を掴んで順次登ることによって安全に登ることができる。
【0020】
従って、高齢者や身障者、あるいは高いヒールの靴やサンダルを履いて足元が覚束ない女性等にとっては、階段Kを登り下りする際、横手摺り2では掴んで身体を支えにくい上に掴んだ手が滑り易いが、縦手摺り1…の登り用縦手摺り部3や下り用縦手摺り部4を掴んで登り下りすれば身体を支え易く、手を滑らすこともないから、安全に登り下りでき、転倒や転落の事故を回避できる。
【0021】
しかして、足元がしっかりした特に縦手摺り1…を使う必要のない健常者は、横手摺り2に手を滑らせながら早足で階段Kを下りることがあるが、横手摺り2が縦手摺り1…よりも通路側へ出ているから、上記のように横手摺り2に手を滑らせながら下りる際に縦手摺り1が邪魔になることはない。
【0022】
しかし、横手摺り2が縦手摺り1よりも通路側に必要以上に突出していると、該横手摺り2が邪魔になって縦手摺り1を掴むことに支障を来す虞れがあるから、図2の(ロ)に示すように横手摺り2と縦手摺り1との間隔Lはできるだけ狭い方が好ましく、例えば3〜6cmがよいことが実験の結果判明している。
【0023】
図2の(ハ)に示すように横手摺り2と縦手摺り1とが殆ど接触状態に配置してもよく、この場合には図5に示すように、ブラケット5を縦手摺り1側のT型パイプ8と横手摺り2側の直角ベンド9付きのT型パイプ8とで構成し、縦手摺り1側T型パイプ8の直管部8aを横手摺り2側T型パイプ8の直角ベンド9の先端部9aに外嵌させてビス7止めすることにより、縦手摺り1と横手摺り2との間隔をできるだけ狭い状態に連結することができるようになっている。
【0024】
なお、この手摺りでは、縦手摺り1…が横手摺り2に対して上下縦方向に伸びているから、歩行者個々の身体の支え方や身長の高低等により、上半部1bと下半部1aの掴み易い方を選ぶこともできる。
【0025】
上記のように構成される手摺りの使用において、歩行者が階段Kを登る時は、歩行者は、階段Kの傾斜方向に一定間隔で配設されている縦手摺り1の登り用縦手摺り部3を順次掴みながら登ることによって、安全に階段Kを登ることができる。
【0026】
この場合、各登り用縦手摺り部3が階段Kの踏み面Sに対し垂直に配置されているから、該手摺り部3を掴み易く、力を入れ易く、そして滑り難く、登り易くなる。従って、歩行者が、握力の弱い高齢者や身障者や子供であっても、掴み易く、滑り難いから、その該手摺り部3を確実にしかも力強く、しっかりと握ることができ、手を滑らせて転倒したり、転がり落ちる危険性が少なくなる。
【0027】
尚、登り用縦手摺り部3は、この実施形態のように階段Kの踏み面Sに対し垂直に配置されるのが最も好ましいわけであるが、この垂直位置に対し若干傾いた状態、つまり略縦方向に配置されても十分効果を有するものである。
【0028】
一方、階段Kを下りる時は、歩行者は、階段Kの傾斜方向に一定間隔で配設されている縦手摺り1の下り用縦手摺り部4を順次掴みながら下りることによって、安全に階段Kを下りることができる。特に階段Kを下りる時、歩行者は、若干前かがみ、即ち前傾姿勢になりがちであるが、各下り用縦手摺り部4が横手摺り2に対し垂直に配置されているから、そのような前傾姿勢でも該手摺り部4を掴み易く、滑り難くなり、従って子供や高齢者や身障者であっても、該手摺り部4を確実に力強く、しっかりと握ることができて、手を滑らせて転倒したり、転がり落ちる危険性が少ない。
【0029】
また、この実施形態に示すように、登り用縦手摺り部3が低い位置にあり、下り用縦手摺り部4が高い位置にあるのは、歩行者は、登り時には脚を比較的深く折り曲げるため、必然的に手摺り部3を掴む手の位置が低くなり、また下りる時には脚を伸ばしながら下りてゆくため、手摺り部4を掴む手の位置が必然的に高くなるからである。要するに、登り用縦手摺り部3の位置を低く、下り用縦手摺り部4の位置を高く設定することによって、両手摺り部3,4を掴みながらの階段の登り下りが、自然な状態で行なえ、従って一層登り易く、下り易くなる。
【0030】
以上の実施形態では、階段Kに手摺りを設置する場合について説明したが、比較的勾配のきつい傾斜路(スロープ)の場合にも本発明の手摺りを設置することができる。また実施形態では、階段Kや傾斜路の片側に本発明の手摺りを設置したが、もちろん階段Kや傾斜路の両側に設置してもよい。
【0031】
【発明の効果】
請求項1に係る発明の手摺りによれば、階段や傾斜路に沿う少なくとも片側の壁面に、略縦方向に向く所定寸法の縦手摺りが階段等の傾斜方向に一定間隔に取り付けられ、これら縦手摺りを横断するようにして傾斜方向に向く横手摺りが取り付けられ、該横手摺りを挟んでこれら縦手摺りにおけるその下部側を登り用縦手摺り部となし、その上部側を下り用縦手摺り部としているから、歩行者は、階段などを登る時には縦手摺りの登り用縦手摺り部を順次掴みながら登り、また下りる時には下り用縦手摺部を順次掴みながら下りることによって、階段などを安全に登り下りすることができる。
【0032】
この場合、登り用縦手摺り部及び下り用横手摺り部が略縦方向に配置されていることから、手摺りを掴み易く、力を入れ易く、しかも滑り難くなって、登り下りが容易となり、特に歩行者が握力の弱い高齢者や身障者や子供であっても、手摺りを力強く握ることができ、手を滑らせて転倒したり、転がり落ちる危険性が少ない。
【0033】
また、縦手摺りに登り用縦手摺り部と下り用縦手摺り部とを一体に形成してなるため、安価に製作することができる。
【0034】
一方、足元がしっかりした特に縦手摺りを使う必要のない健常者は、横手摺りに手を滑らせながら早足で階段を下りることがで、通常の手摺りとしても何ら支障なく使用することができる。
【0035】
この際に請求項2に記載のように、横手摺りが縦手摺りよりも壁面から離れた位置に配置されることによって、横手摺りが縦手摺りよりも通路側へ出ているから、上記のように横手摺りに手を滑らせながら下りる際に縦手摺りが邪魔になることはない。
【0036】
しかし、横手摺りが縦手摺りよりも通路側に必要以上に突出していると、該横手摺りが邪魔になって縦手摺りを掴むことに支障を来す虞れがあるから、請求項3に示すように横手摺りと縦手摺りとが略接触状態に配置されることによって、横手摺りが支障となることなく容易に縦手摺りを掴んで階段を登り下りすることができる。
【0037】
請求項4に記載のように、縦手摺りが階段の段毎に設けられることによって、より安全に高齢者や身障者が登り用縦手摺り部や下り用縦手摺り部を掴んで登り下りすることができる。
【0038】
請求項5に記載のように、横手摺りがブラケットを介して縦手摺りに取り付けられてなるため、横手摺りを縦手摺りに対して容易に階段通路側に堅固に取り付けることができる。
【0039】
請求項6に記載のように、登り用縦手摺り部は階段踏み面に略垂直に配置されることによって、その手摺りが一層掴み易く、滑り難くなって、一層登り易く且つ安全となる。
【0040】
請求項7に記載のように、下り用縦手摺り部は横手摺りに対し略垂直に配置されてれば、下り時の前かがみ姿勢でその手摺りが一層掴み易く、滑り難くなり、一層下り易く且つ安全となる。

FIG. 1 is a side view of a stair provided with a handrail according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of a main part of the handrail, and FIG. 3 is a vertical side view of the handrail. This handrail is attached to a wall surface W along the stairs S at predetermined intervals, with vertical railings 1... A horizontal handrail 2 extending along the inclined direction is attached via a bracket 5, and the lower half of the vertical handrail 1, that is, the lower half 1 a of the vertical handrail 1 is vertically sandwiched by the horizontal handrail 2. It is arranged in a straight line along the direction, in other words, perpendicular to the tread surface S of the stairs K, and the lower half 1a is formed as a vertical handrail portion 3 for climbing, and the horizontal handrail 2 in the vertical handrail 1 is sandwiched therebetween. The upper side, that is, the upper half 1b of the vertical handrail 1 has a shape curved downstairs, in other words, curved from the upper end of the vertical handrail portion 3 for climbing so as to be substantially perpendicular to the horizontal handrail 2. The curved upper half 1b is used for descending Hand made as a sliding portion 4.
[0015]
The upper and lower ends of the vertical handrail 1 are fixed to the wall surface W, as shown in FIG. 3, by fixing a flange 6a at one end of the right-angled bend-type mounting member 6 to the wall surface W with screws 7. The end of the vertical handrail 1 is inserted into the other end opening 6b of the member 6, and the screw 7 is fixed at the inserted portion.
[0016]
The horizontal handrail 2 is formed of a linear rod made of wood or a synthetic material of wood and resin, and a bracket 5 is attached to the vertical handrail 1 as shown in FIG. , It is located farther from the wall surface W than the vertical handrails 1... Both ends of the horizontal handrails 2 are also at right angles as shown in FIG. It is fixed to the wall surface W by the bend-type mounting member 6.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 4, the bracket 5 is composed of two T-shaped pipes 8, 8 and a right-angle bend 9, and each of the straight pipe portions 8a of the T-shaped pipes 8, 8 has a vertical handrail 1 each. And the outer rails 2 are externally fitted to the rails 2 and screwed, and the reduced-diameter distal ends of the branch pipe portions 8b, 8b of the T-shaped pipes 8, 8 are inserted into the openings at both ends of the right-angle bend 9, and these inserted portions The vertical handrail 1 and the horizontal handrail 2 are connected to each other by fixing the screws 7. At this time, the right-angled bend 9 and the branch pipe portion 8b of the T-shaped pipe 8 on the side of the vertical handrail 1 fitted to the right-angled bend 9 are rotationally adjusted to each other in the circumferential direction in accordance with the inclination angle of the horizontal handrail 2. The inclination angle of the horizontal handrail 2 can be easily matched, and the screw 7 may be fixed at this matched position.
[0018]
In the embodiment of the present invention, the vertical handrail portion 3 and the vertical handrail portion 4 for descending are formed integrally with the vertical handrail 1, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. 2, the handrail material for the vertical handrail portion 3 for ascending and the handrail material for the vertical handrail portion 4 for downing are separately transferred to the horizontal handrail 2 via the bracket 5 having the same structure. Although it may be attached, as in the embodiment of the present invention, it is cheaper to form the vertical handrail portion 3 and the vertical handrail portion 4 integrally on one vertical handrail 1. can do.
[0019]
The handrail having the above configuration has vertical handrails 1 provided at regular intervals corresponding to each step of the stairs K, and horizontal handrails 2 inclined and arranged corresponding to the gradient of the stairs K. When climbing the stairs K, hold the horizontal handrails 2 to balance the body, and when going down the stairs K, use the vertical railings 4 for downhill of the vertical handrails 1. You can move forward with the vertical railing 1 while supporting your body firmly. If it is uneasy for an elderly person or a disabled person to grab the horizontal handrail 2 when climbing the stairs K, grab the vertical handrail portion 3 of the vertical handrail 1 provided for each step of the stairs K.

Can avoid falling and falling accidents.
[0021]
However, a healthy person who does not need to use the vertical handrails 1... With firm feet may go down the stairs K at a quick pace while sliding his hand on the horizontal handrails 2. .., The vertical handrail 1 does not become an obstacle when descending while sliding the hand on the horizontal handrail 2 as described above.
[0022]
However, if the horizontal handrails 2 protrude more than necessary to the passage side than the vertical handrails 1, the horizontal handrails 2 may hinder the grasping of the vertical handrails 1 because of obstruction. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), it has been found from experiments that the distance L between the horizontal handrail 2 and the vertical handrail 1 is preferably as small as possible, for example, 3 to 6 cm.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 2C, the horizontal handrail 2 and the vertical handrail 1 may be almost in contact with each other. In this case, as shown in FIG. It is composed of a T-shaped pipe 8 and a T-shaped pipe 8 with a right-angled bend 9 on the side of the handrail 2, and a straight pipe portion 8 a of the T-shaped pipe 8 on the side of the vertical handrail 1 is bent at a right angle by the T-shaped pipe 8 on the side of the handrail 2. The outer handrail 9 and the horizontal handrail 2 can be connected to each other as narrowly as possible by externally fitting to the front end 9a and fixing the screw 7 to the front handrail 9.
[0024]
In this handrail, the vertical handrail 1 extends vertically and vertically with respect to the horizontal handrail 2, so that the upper half 1b and the lower half 1b depend on how the individual pedestrian supports the body and the height of the body. It is also possible to select a person who can easily grasp the part 1a.
[0025]
In the use of the handrail configured as described above, when the pedestrian climbs the stairs K, the pedestrian moves up the vertical handrail 1 that is disposed at regular intervals in the inclination direction of the stairs K. By climbing while sequentially grabbing the sliding portion 3, the stairs K can be safely climbed.
[0026]
In this case, the vertical handrails 3 for climbing are arranged perpendicular to the tread surface S of the stairs K, so that the handrails 3 are easy to grasp, apply force, and are hard to slip and climb easily. Therefore, even if the pedestrian is an elderly person, a handicapped person, or a child with a weak grip force, it is easy to grasp and is hard to slide, so that the handrail portion 3 can be firmly and firmly gripped, and the hand can be slipped. The risk of falling over or falling down is reduced.
[0027]
It is most preferable that the vertical handrail portion 3 for climbing is arranged perpendicularly to the tread surface S of the stairs K as in this embodiment, but it is slightly inclined with respect to this vertical position, that is, Even if it is arranged in a substantially vertical direction, it has a sufficient effect.
[0028]
On the other hand, when descending the stairs K, the pedestrian can safely descend the stairs K by sequentially grasping the descending vertical handrails 4 of the vertical handrails 1 arranged at regular intervals in the inclination direction of the stairs K. You can go down K. In particular, when descending the stairs K, the pedestrian tends to lean forward slightly, that is, to lean forward, but since each of the vertical handrails 4 is disposed perpendicular to the horizontal handrail 2, Even in the forward leaning posture, the handrail portion 4 can be easily grasped and hardly slipped, so that even a child, an elderly person or a disabled person can grip the handrail portion 4 firmly and firmly, and slide the hand. There is little danger of falling and falling.
[0029]
In addition, as shown in this embodiment, the vertical railing section 3 for climbing is located at a low position, and the vertical railing section 4 for descending is located at a high position. Therefore, the position of the hand grasping the handrail unit 3 is necessarily lowered, and the hand grasping the handrail unit 4 is necessarily raised because the user descends while stretching his legs when descending. In short, by setting the position of the vertical railing section 3 for climbing to be low and the position of the vertical railing section 4 for descending to be high, the climbing and descending of the stairs while grasping both the handrail sections 3 and 4 can be performed in a natural state. And therefore easier to ascend and descend.
[0030]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the handrail is installed on the stairs K has been described. However, the handrail of the present invention can be installed even on a relatively steep slope. Further, in the embodiment, the handrail of the present invention is installed on one side of the stairs K and the ramp, but may be installed on both sides of the stairs K and the ramp.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
According to the handrail according to the first aspect of the present invention, a vertical handrail of a predetermined size oriented in a substantially vertical direction is attached to a wall surface on at least one side along a stair or an inclined road at a constant interval in an inclined direction such as a stair. A horizontal handrail is attached to the vertical handrail so as to cross the vertical handrail, and the lower side of the vertical handrail is formed as an ascending vertical handrail portion with the horizontal handrail interposed therebetween, and the upper side thereof is used as a descending vertical handrail. Because it is a handrail, pedestrians climb up the stairs etc. while grabbing the vertical handrails for vertical handrails sequentially, and go down while grabbing the vertical handrails for descending when descending. Can safely go up and down.
[0032]
In this case, since the vertical handrail portion for climbing and the horizontal handrail portion for descending are arranged substantially in the vertical direction, it is easy to grasp the handrail, easily apply force, and it is difficult to slide, and it is easy to climb and descend, In particular, even if the pedestrian is an elderly person, a handicapped person, or a child with a weak grip, the handrail can be gripped forcefully, and there is little risk of slipping over the hand or falling down.
[0033]
Moreover, since the vertical handrail portion for ascending and the vertical handrail portion for descending are formed integrally with the vertical handrail, it can be manufactured at low cost.
[0034]
On the other hand, a healthy person who does not need to use a vertical handrail, especially when the foot is firm, can go down the stairs at an early pace while sliding his hand on the horizontal handrail, and can use it without any trouble as a normal handrail. .
[0035]
In this case, as described in claim 2, the horizontal handrail is disposed at a position farther from the wall surface than the vertical handrail, so that the horizontal handrail comes out to the passage side than the vertical handrail. The vertical railing does not become an obstacle when descending while sliding the hand on the horizontal railing.
[0036]
However, if the horizontal handrails protrude more than necessary to the passage side than the vertical handrails, the horizontal handrails may hinder the grasping of the vertical handrails. As shown, the horizontal handrail and the vertical handrail are arranged in substantially contact with each other, so that the vertical handrail can be easily grasped and climbed up and down the stairs without hindering the horizontal handrail.
[0037]
As described in claim 4, the vertical handrail is provided for each step of the stairs, so that the elderly or disabled person can more safely grab the vertical handrail portion for climbing and the vertical handrail portion for descending and go up and down. be able to.
[0038]
As described in claim 5, the horizontal handrail is attached to the vertical handrail via the bracket, so that the horizontal handrail can be easily and firmly attached to the stairway side with respect to the vertical handrail.
[0039]
According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the vertical handrail portion for climbing is arranged substantially perpendicular to the stair tread surface, so that the handrail can be more easily grasped and made less slippery, which makes climbing easier and safer.
[0040]
As described in claim 7, if the vertical handrail portion for descending is arranged substantially perpendicular to the horizontal handrail, the handrail is more easily grasped, slippery, and more easily descended in the forward leaning posture when descending. And it will be safe.
