Patent Publication 8-312094 Patent Publication No. 8-24353 Patent Publication 7-317266

(B) Elevators and escalators are difficult for ordinary households.
(B) Electric lifts are expensive and the stairs are narrow, making it very difficult to raise and lower luggage.
(C) When handrails for nursing care are installed on the stairs, mansions and apartments are disliked because they impair the beauty.
(2) The current height of the handrail is 110 cm or more, which is determined by the Building Standards Act, and the height of 110 cm is not for nursing care, but to prevent falling over.
(E) Nursing handrails cannot be installed on staircase handrails (because they may become a stepping stone for falls)
(F) Nursing handrails are installed on the side walls of the stairs at the same inclination as the stairs.
(G) When elderly people use handrails, there are many usages such as grasping or supporting, and the standard height of handrails for nursing care is 75cm, and most of them are installed at 75cm. .
(H) Hands often move away from handrails and fixed objects with a jog that is removed from the stairs, leading to falls and falls.

(A) Set the handle (7) of the band (2) of the moving body (1) to face the inner side of the handrail with a catching device using a handrail of a commercially available staircase. The movable body (1) is fitted, and the movable body (1) is pushed up by the handle (7) to rise, and pushed down to get down.
(B) Adjust the length of the band (2) according to the height and weight of the person using it [75cm].
(C) When ascending the stairs, push up the moving body (1), pull the handle (7) and fix it, and lift it lightly.
(2) With the handle (7) of the present invention, even if a shock is taken off the stairs, the vibration is not transmitted directly and the handle (7) is not released, and the grip (7) So that there is a trap.

The present invention has been devised so that it can be used for nursing care on ordinary stairs, and it is the first to prevent falling and falling. Also, the handle (7) raises and lowers while applying a brake, so the caregiving hand is troublesome. You can move up and down by yourself. In addition, the band (2) alone can serve as a brake, but by attaching brake rubber, it can be easily braked even with a little force and can be used with ease.
In order to use it on the stairs, use the two moving bodies (1) to divide the moving body (1) used when going down the stairs and the moving body (1) used when going up the stairs. Set the reel of the tape measure in 1), release the handle (7) when it gets down, wind up to the top of the handrail, and the moving body (1) stops. 7) Lifting aids that can be used by a number of people because they move to the downstairs when they are released, and the mobile unit (1) is always placed up and down.

A movable body attached to the handrail in a state movable in the longitudinal direction of the handrail installed along the stairs, and a fixing means for fixing the movable body to the handrail. The lifting / lowering assisting tool, wherein the movable body includes an inner peripheral surface that covers an outer peripheral surface of the handrail, and a penetrating portion that communicates with the inner peripheral surface side and the outer side, and the fixing means is bent and deformed It is a possible long member, and one end is fixed to the moving body, and at least a part of the intermediate portion between the one end and the other end is between the outer peripheral surface of the handrail and the inner peripheral surface of the moving body. The other end of the movable member is pulled out to the outside of the movable body via the penetrating portion, and a handle for a lifting assist tool user is provided on the other end side. When the side is pulled, a handrail tightening force is generated by the fixing member, and the moving body is moved to the hand. Lifting aid which is adapted to be secured to Ri.

The guide rod (4) with the rubber-like brake rubber (3) attached is compressed to the end (8) of the moving body (1) with a screw-type compression device, and the brake position and handrail are pressed against the handrail. Install so that it can be moved to the brake release position away from.
Pulling the handle (7) pulls up the rubber-like brake rubber (3) to the taper interval (9) according to the lever principle, and the brake is activated. When the handle is loosened, it returns to the original release position. .

When moving up and down, use the two moving bodies (1) at the upper limit and lower limit positions, and set up a tape measure type reel on the moving body (1) on the floor and put it downstairs. When the handle (7) is released, it will be rolled up to the original upper limit position and stopped. Similarly, when it reaches the upper floor, the handle (1) will slide down to the lower floor when it is moved up and removed (7). Stop at the lower limit position. A lift assist mechanism that can be used by a large number of people, always returning to the upper limit position and lower limit position.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described. This device falls from the stairs and is an auxiliary device for the purpose of preventing falling and assisting in raising and lowering. “FIG. 2” is a cross-sectional view of an example in which the moving body (1) is fitted into a handrail, “FIG. 3” is an example of a brake, and “FIG. 4” and “FIG. 5” are cross-sectional views.

A movable body attached to the handrail in a state movable in the longitudinal direction of the handrail installed along the stairs, and a fixing means for fixing the movable body to the handrail. A lifting / lowering assisting tool, wherein the movable body includes an inner peripheral surface that covers an outer peripheral surface of the handrail, and a penetrating portion that communicates with the inner peripheral surface side and the outer side, and the fixing means can be bent and deformed A long member, one end of which is fixed to the moving body, and at least a part of an intermediate portion between the one end and the other end is disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the handrail and the inner peripheral surface of the moving body. The other end is pulled out to the outside of the movable body through the penetrating portion, and the other end side is provided with a handle for the lifting aid user, and the other end side of the fixing member When the hand is pulled, a handrail tightening force is generated by the fixing member, and the moving body is moved to the hand. Lifting aid which consists for being fixed to Ri.

The band (2) alone can serve as a brake, but the rubber-like brake rubber (3) is placed in several places so that the brake can be applied easily even if it is pulled lightly. When the handle (7) is pulled by placing and fixing with a spring, the rubber-like brake rubber (3) is pulled into the taper gap (9) between the handrail (5) and the moving body (1) by the lever principle. Pulled up, the rubber-like brake rubber (3) is compressed and the brake is applied and stops. When the handle (7) is loosened, the lever's guide rod (4) is pulled back by the spring force of the moving body (1). By pressing against (8), the rubber-like brake rubber (3) is released from the taper gap (9), the brake is released, and the moving body (1) is moved by the roller (6). The movement is smooth.

Even if one brake breaks down, it is a single structure, so one of them operates and the band also operates, so double-triple safety can be secured. "Fig. 6" shows the movement of the moving body (1) with a roller. Place it in several places to make it work smoothly.

Set the handle (7) to 75cm, push up the moving body (1), pull the handle (7), move the body while applying the brake, and you can move up and down by yourself without needing care (7) holds the handle (7) because it does not transmit vibration because the stairs are not picked up. If it is used for sliding, it will be easy to move by itself and it will prevent falling.

To use the mobile unit (1) for the staircase, install one on the floor and one on the floor, and set the tape measure type reel on the mobile unit (1) on the floor. When the handle is released, it returns to the original installation location, so many people can use it.
