Description

  The present invention relates to a handrail with a chair that is installed at an entrance of a building such as a front door and assists an operation of putting on and taking off footwear when entering and leaving the building.

JP, 2004-16238, A Conventionally, in the entrance and exit of buildings, such as a front door, a level difference is often provided between dirt and an indoor floor. Normally, this step was set to be a relatively large step suitable for healthy people to sit down and put on and take off footwear such as shoes when going out or returning home. . Therefore, it was very difficult for the elderly and the disabled to climb up and down this level difference. Therefore, as countermeasures, it has been proposed to lower this step and to provide a handrail for supporting the body on the wall surface in the vicinity of the step in order to assist the ascending and descending. However, when the level difference is made small in this way, putting on and taking off shoes becomes a very difficult operation for the elderly and the disabled. Therefore, as another countermeasure, it has been proposed to lower the level difference and to provide a bench between the soils of the entrance instead.

  In JP 2004-16238, in a bench with a handrail provided in the vicinity of a raised ridge having a step at an indoor entrance, it is fixed to a seat surface member constituting a bench on which a user is seated and a wall surface in the vicinity of the raised ridge, A handrail member having a vertical direction portion arranged in a vertical direction to assist a user's movement and a horizontal portion arranged in a horizontal direction continuously to the vertical direction portion, and the seat member is There has been proposed a handrailed bench characterized in that it is connected to a handrail member at the horizontal portion.

  In the bench with a handrail proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-16238, since the handrail member is integrally connected to the seat member, if the standard mounting position is set, the connection between the two can be performed. Although it does not vary depending on the method, construction is easy, workability and total design are improved, and it can be made cheaper, but you can sit down on a bench and put your footwear on and off before changing directions There was a problem that had to be done.

  Therefore, the present inventor provides a handrail with a chair that does not need to stand up to change the direction after sitting on or taking off footwear on a bench and can easily change the direction.

  The handrail with a chair according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a base, a chair portion provided on the base, and a handrail portion extending upward from the base, and the seat surface of the chair portion is a floor surface. It is characterized in that it can rotate in a plane parallel to the head and can be easily changed in direction while the user is seated. In addition, since the chair portion and the handrail portion are provided on the base, the distance between the seat surface of the chair portion and the handrail portion does not vary depending on the construction, and a suitable interval can be maintained. Moreover, since the seating surface is provided on the base, the load applied to the seating surface is supported by the floor surface, and sufficient strength can be obtained.

  A handrail with a chair according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that a support leg is erected on a base and a seating surface is provided on the support leg. The seat surface can be rotated with respect to the seat surface, and the seat surface rotation structure is not complicated.

  The handrail with a chair according to claim 3 of the present invention is the one according to any one of claims 1 and 2, wherein a non-rotating edge is provided on the outer periphery of the seat surface of the chair. The posture can be stabilized by putting a hand on the non-rotating edge when the person changes direction.

  The handrail with a chair according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a base, a chair portion provided on the base, and a handrail portion extending upward from the base, and the seat surface of the chair portion is a floor surface. It is characterized by being able to rotate freely in a plane parallel to the user, and can be easily changed direction while the user is seated, and the handrail part and chair part cooperate with the user. Assists elderly people and people with weak bodies when they go out. In addition, since the chair portion and the handrail portion are provided on the base, the distance between the seat surface of the chair portion and the handrail portion does not vary depending on the construction, and a suitable interval can be maintained. Moreover, since the seating surface is provided on the base, the load applied to the seating surface is supported by the floor surface, and sufficient strength can be obtained.

  A handrail with a chair according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that a support leg is erected on a base and a seating surface is provided on the support leg. The seat surface can be rotated with respect to the seat surface, and the seat surface rotation structure is not complicated.

  The handrail with a chair according to claim 3 of the present invention is the one according to any one of claims 1 and 2, wherein a non-rotating edge is provided on the outer periphery of the seat surface of the chair. Since the posture can be stabilized by putting a hand on the non-rotating edge when the person changes direction, the posture of the body during use can be stabilized, and the sense of security is increased.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an embodiment of a handrail with a chair according to the present invention. In this figure, the handrail with a chair is provided at the boundary between the indoor floor of the entrance and the soil.

  In FIG. 1, a support leg 2 is erected at the center of a base 1, and a chair portion 3 is provided at the upper end of the support leg 2. A handrail portion 4 is provided from the side of the support leg 2 of the base 1. The handrail portion 4 is curved in a direction away from the chair portion 3 and is erected vertically at an appropriate distance from the chair portion 3. The upper portion of the handrail portion 4 is curved in the direction of the wall surface, and the upper end of the handrail portion 4 is fixed to the wall surface via the end bracket 5. An intermediate bracket 6 is attached to the lower part of the handrail portion 4, and the other end of the intermediate bracket 6 is fixed to the wall surface.

  The chair part 3 has a non-rotating edge 32 fixed to a support leg 2 erected in the center of the base 1, and a seat surface 31 of the chair part 3 is rotatably attached to the support leg 2. . The seat surface 31 of the chair portion 3 is circular in this example, and a donut-shaped non-rotating edge portion 32 is provided over the entire circumference of the seat surface 31.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an example in which the seat surface 31 of the chair portion 3 of the handrail with a chair according to the present invention is rotatably attached to the base 1. In the figure, the support leg 2 includes a lower support leg 21 and an upper support leg 22, and the lower support leg 21 and the upper support leg 22 are fixed by pressure with screws. A rotation shaft 33 provided at the lower center of the seating surface 31 is inserted into the upper end of the upper support leg 22 through the sleeve 23 so as to rotate within the support leg 2.

  Next, a method of using the handrail with a chair of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the handrail with a chair is provided at the boundary between the floor surface on the indoor side of the entrance and the soil, and when the user comes home, he sits on the seat surface 31 of the chair portion 3 in the direction of the soil, After taking off the footwear such as, it is turned 90 degrees so that its back faces the wall surface on which the handrail is provided, and it stands up with the handrail portion 4. In addition, when the user goes out of the room, he holds the handrail, sits on the seat surface 31 of the chair portion 3 with his back facing the wall surface on the handrail side, and sits on the seat by rotating 90 degrees in the direction of the soil. Stand up with footwear in the state. Thus, according to this invention, since the handrail part 4 and the chair part 3 cooperate and assist a user, it becomes a help at the time of going out also to an elderly person or a weak person of a body.
