FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an emergency box for an elevator according to the present invention.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an entire emergency box. A storage box 2 is provided in an elevator gondola 100, and a toilet 4 having a toilet seat 3 for sitting is foldably stored in the storage box 2. .
The storage box 2 has a triangular cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction with a right-angled triangular cross section, and is disposed at one corner portion C of the gondola 100 serving as a dead space. The corner portion C is a dead space. By effectively using the corner portion C, the storage box 2 can be disposed without getting in the way.

As a method of fixing the storage box 2, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a fixing tool 112 having a hook 111 is attached to the wall surface of the gondola 10, and the storage box 2 is provided on the hook 111. The engagement hole 113 may be hooked and fixed, or a tension member 114 may be disposed between the upper end of the storage box 2 and the ceiling portion so as to be sandwiched between the floor surface and the ceiling. . If it does in this way, it can be easily installed by retrofitting with respect to the existing elevator.
As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1D, the storage box 2 includes a toilet storage unit 10 disposed below and a disaster supplies storage unit 20 disposed above the toilet storage unit 10.
The toilet 4 includes a toilet seat 3, a main body portion 5 that supports the toilet seat 3, and a filth receiving portion 6.

The toilet seat 3 is a plate-like member and is stored in a state perpendicular to the storage box 2 when stored, and protrudes horizontally from the storage box 2 when used. In this example, at the time of storage, the storage box 2 is disposed perpendicularly to the front surface of the storage box 2 having a triangular shape, and constitutes the front wall of the storage box 2. Thus, since it is arranged in a state perpendicular to the corner portion C that becomes a dead space in the storage state, it does not get in the way, and the width of the toilet seat 3 is almost the same as the hypotenuse that is the maximum width of the triangular corner portion C. Since the length of the entire length can be secured, the maximum seating surface width can be secured in a narrow storage space. In addition, although the U-shaped notch 31 is provided in the toilet seat 3, you may make it provide a round hole.
The main body 6 is also a plate-like member and is configured to be stored in the storage box 2 when stored and pulled out from the storage box 2 when used. At the time of storage, like the toilet seat 3, it is arranged on the front surface of the storage box 2 and constitutes the front wall of the storage box 2. A handle 8 is provided at the boundary between the toilet seat 3 and the main body 6.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2C, the front end 3 a of the toilet seat 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the main body 5, and the rear end 3 b of the toilet seat 3 is a vertical guide provided in the storage box 2. 11 is movable in the vertical direction. When the main body 5 is pulled out, the front end 3a of the toilet seat 3 is pushed forward in conjunction with the pulling operation, and the rear end 3b moves downward along the vertical guide 11 to form a three-dimensional chair shape. When the main body part 5 is pushed in, the front end 3b of the toilet seat moves backward in conjunction with the pushing operation, and the rear end 3b of the toilet seat 3 moves upward to shift to a vertical storage state.
In the illustrated example, the rear end 3b of the toilet seat 3 is in contact with the lower end position of the linear guide at a position where the toilet seat 3 is horizontal, but a stopper for positioning the toilet seat 3 in another place is provided. It may be provided.

Moreover, the main-body part 5 is connected with the storage box 2 so that it can move back and forth by a pair of left and right link mechanisms 7 as shown in FIGS.
In this link mechanism 7, a pair of connecting links 71 bent in a U-shape are provided in parallel on the left and right in pairs.
Each connecting link 71 includes a front link 72 and a rear link 73 that are pivotally connected to each other so as to be swingable. A front end of the front link 72 is pivotally connected to the main body 5 so as to be swingable. The rear end of the storage box 2 is pivotally connected to the column portions 2a located at the left and right ends of the storage box 2 so as to be swingable. The support column 2a is provided at the left and right corners as viewed from the front of the storage box 2. In the illustrated example, the front link 72 and the rear link 73 are bent upward during storage, and extend horizontally in a substantially straight line when pulled out. A stopper 74 projects from one of the front link 72 and the rear link 73, in this example, at the front end of the rear link 73, and is configured to engage with the stopper 74 in a horizontal state and not open further.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 (A) and 2 (B), the filth receiving part 6 is configured to be telescopically stretchable, and its front end 6a is attached to the main body part 5 and its rear end 6b is attached to the storage box 2. It is attached. In the housed state, the filth receiving portion 6 is contracted back and forth, and the front end portion 6a of the filth receiving portion 6 is pulled forward by the pulling operation of the main body portion 5 and is extended to the front and back to be greatly opened.
As a material of the filth receiving part 6, a water-absorbing material, for example, a highly water-absorbing polymer used for a paper diaper is used. The filth receiving part 6 is sanitary if it can be removed and replaced with a new one such as a disposable diaper.
Further, although not particularly shown, a curtain covering the periphery of the toilet may be provided. The curtain may be configured to be suspended from the curtain rail, or may be configured such that the support bar protrudes from the storage box, and may be configured to be hooked on the support bar, and various attachment methods can be applied.
The curtain may be hung in advance or stored. In the case of storing, it may be stored in the disaster prevention product storage unit 20 or may be stored in the tray storage unit 10. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which uses a blanket also as a curtain. In that case, an engagement part such as an engagement hole for engaging a hanging tool such as a rail or a bar may be provided on the blanket.

Next, the disaster prevention article storage unit 20 will be described.
The emergency supplies storage unit 20 is installed above the toilet storage unit 10, and a plurality of shelves 21 are assembled and divided into a plurality of storage units. A door is appropriately attached to the disaster prevention article storage unit 20.
In the illustrated example, as shown in FIGS. 1D and 4, drinking water 22, first aid box 23, and blanket 24 are accommodated.
As the drinking water 22, as shown in FIG. 4A, an existing plastic bottle 22a may be used. However, since the storage box has a triangular cross-sectional shape, a gap is formed. Therefore, if a dedicated bottle 22 ′ is used as shown in FIG. 4B in accordance with the triangular shape, a narrow space can be used efficiently.

Further, when the internal illumination is turned off due to a power failure, it becomes completely dark, so an emergency lamp 25 is attached. If the position of the switch can be recognized by a luminous paint or the like, it can be lit in an emergency.
Furthermore, since information is cut off, it is safe to install a communication information device 26 such as a radio or television. The emergency lamp 25 and the speaker 27 are provided at the upper end of the storage box.
The emergency supplies are not limited to drinking water, first aid kits and blankets, but can store various items such as preserved foods, warmers, flashlights and whistles.

Next, the usage method of the toilet of the emergency box of the elevator of this invention is demonstrated.
Normally, the main body 5 is pushed to the front position of the storage box 2, and the toilet seat 3 is in a vertical state.
When using, the hand part 8 is put on the hand and the main body part 5 is pulled out. When it is not visible due to a power failure, the emergency lamp 25 is turned on.
When the main body part 5 is pulled out, the lower end (front end 3a) of the toilet seat 3 protrudes forward in conjunction with it, and the upper end (rear end 3b) moves downward, so that the toilet seat 3 becomes horizontal and becomes a three-dimensional chair. . On the other hand, the internal filth receiving part 6 extends and opens widely, and can receive the filth.

In addition, the emergency box of the present invention can be prepared in case of an emergency by regularly inspecting such as when checking an ordinary elevator. Since it is used in an emergency, if it is sealed to prevent tampering, it can be confirmed whether it has been tampered with during inspection.
