In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, the both side walls 17 and 18 are formed so that the outer width Wa of both engaging projections 24 and 25 formed on the upper end is the opposite wall 10a of the case mounting groove 10. , 10b is formed to be slightly larger than the inner width Wb.

  In order to assemble the LED lighting device 7 as the LED unit 16, for example, two LEDs 6 (see FIG. 4) and one resistor (not shown) are arranged at a predetermined position on the surface side of each LED substrate 14, It connects with the wiring (illustration omitted) printed on the back surface side of this board | substrate 14. FIG. Then, in a state where the main body case 12 is repeatedly reversed as shown in FIG. 4, a required number of LED boards 14... The connection wiring 15 is inserted and fitted between the fitting recesses 20 and 21, and these LED substrates 14 are positioned at predetermined intervals as shown in FIG. Are electrically connected to each other. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the male terminal 26 and the female terminal 27 of a joint connector are attached to the both ends of the connection wiring 15, respectively. Further, on the lower side of the connecting wall portion 19 of the main body case 12 on which the LED substrate 14 is disposed, as shown in FIG. 3A, the sealing material 36 is filled with the LED substrate 14 and the LED 6 It is loaded so that only its surface is exposed downward, and is waterproofed. As the sealing material 36, a liquid or semi-liquid curable silicone resin or the like is used. When this curable silicon resin is used, the sealing material 36 can also be used as a holding member for fixing the LED substrate 14 to the lower side of the connecting wall portion 19.

  The LED unit 16 assembled as described above is formed to have a length corresponding to the pitch between adjacent columns 1 and 1 of the handrail shown in FIG. 7 is inserted into the case mounting concave groove 10 of the protruding side end 2a of the handrail headboard 2 sequentially from one end side of the concave groove 10 in the state as shown in FIG. 3 (b). Then, it is attached so that the end faces of the main body case 12 are in contact with each other in the groove 10 for attaching the case over the entire length of the handrail headboard 2. At the time of this attachment, each LED unit 16 connects the male terminal 26 and the female terminal 27 of the joint connector as shown in FIG. 4 to the male terminal 26 of the joint connector of the other LED lighting device 7 in the main body case 12. And the female terminal 27 are electrically connected to each other by being concavo-convexly fitted, and the series of LED units 16... Are interrupted across the case mounting groove 10 formed in the entire length of the handrail headboard 2. Install continuously. Then, the joint connectors 26 and 27 on one end side of the series of LED units 16...

Note that the male terminal 26 and the female terminal 27 of the joint connector may be engaged with each other on the other end side of the series of LED lighting devices 7.

  When fitting the main body case 12 of the LED unit 16 into the case mounting groove 10 of the handrail headboard 2, both engaging projections 24, 25 at the upper ends of the side wall portions 17, 18 are shown in FIG. Since the outer width Wa is slightly larger than the inner width Wb of the opposing wall surfaces 10a and 10b of the case mounting groove 10, the upper end portions of both side walls 17 and 18 are opposed to the opposite wall surfaces 10a and 10a of the groove 10. The engaging protrusions 24 and 25 are inserted into the case mounting recessed groove 10 from a slightly inclined state with respect to 10 b and pushed in while engaging the engaging protrusions 24 and 25 with the wall surfaces 10 a and 10 b of the recessed groove 10. The main body case 12 is fixed to the concave groove 10 so as not to be pulled out by being engaged with engaging concave portions 22 and 23 provided in the inner portions of the wall surfaces 10a and 10b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting wall portion 19 of the main body case 12 is formed so as to obliquely intersect with the side wall portions 17 and 18, so that it is attached along the lower surface of the connecting wall portion 19. Since the LED board 14 is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane (for example, an indoor side upward inclination of 30 ° with respect to the horizontal plane), the LED 6 disposed on the lower surface of the LED board 14 is also inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane. As shown in FIG. 2, the light emitted from the LED 6 of the LED board 14 of the LED unit 16 in the use of the slide is a veranda passage at an inclination angle of, for example, 30 ° from the passage protruding end portion 2a of the handrail headboard 2 to the indoor side. Will come to light up. If the connecting wall portion 19 of the main body case 12 is mounted so as to be horizontal as will be described later, the light from the LED 6 illuminates the outdoor portion of the veranda passage T almost vertically downward.

  As described above, according to the handrail of the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the handrail headboard 2 is formed such that the passage-side end portion 2a protrudes from the support column 1 toward the veranda passage T side. Since the LED lighting device 7 in which a number of LEDs 6 are arranged at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the headboard is provided on the lower surface side of the passage side protruding end portion 2a of 2, the LED lighting device 7 illuminates the passage T portion. For example, when the laundry is dried at night on the veranda, the LED 6 is caused to emit light, so that the veranda becomes bright and the clothes can be easily dried even if the indoor lighting is blocked by a curtain or the like. In addition, since the LED 6 is provided on the lower surface side of the passage side protruding end portion 2a of the handrail headboard 2, in the case of a multi-storey apartment building, the light from the LED 6 leaks over the handrail to the lower floor veranda.

At the installation site, after mounting the handrail, it can be fitted and fixed to the groove 10 for mounting the case provided in the protruding end 2a on the passage side of the handrail head 2 with one touch. Without impairing the workability, it can be attached smoothly. Further, the LED unit 16 uses a required number according to the length of the handrail head 2 and connects the joint connectors 26 and 27 at both ends of the handrail head 2 so that the case mounting concave groove 10 of the handrail head 2 is connected. It can be easily installed for any length of handrails by being fitted to.

  The main body case 12 of the LED unit 16 is provided at both side end portions of the side wall portions 17, 18, a connecting wall portion 19 that connects the lower end sides of the side wall portions 17, 18, and both side end portions of the lower surface of the connecting wall portion 19. A pair of fitting recesses 20 and 21 formed on both sides of the LED substrate 14 so that both ends thereof are fitted to each other, and projecting outwardly from the upper ends of the side walls 20 and 21 respectively. It consists of a pair of engaging projections 24 and 25 engaged with engaging recesses 22 and 23 provided at the back of the opposing wall surfaces 10a and 10b of the mounting groove 10, respectively. The LED board 14 is fitted and held between the pair of fitting recesses 20 and 21 on both sides so that the LED 6 attached to the lower surface of the LED board 14 can emit light from between the pair of fitting recesses 20 and 21 on both sides. Therefore, both side wall portions 17 of the body case 12 8 is pushed into the case mounting concave groove 10 on the handrail headboard 2 side, so that the engaging projections 24 and 25 are engaged with the engaging recesses 22 and 23 provided at the back of the wall surfaces 10a and 10b. The case 12 can be easily fixed to the concave groove 10 so as not to be pulled out.

  When the mounting structure of the glass plate 5 in the section 4 formed by the two struts 1 and 1 adjacent to each other in the handrail of the embodiment described above, the handrail headboard 2 and the lower frame 3 will be described, As shown in FIG. 1 (b) and FIG. 2, it is composed of a prismatic column main body 28 and a joint frame 29 protruding from the outdoor side surface of the column main body 28, and the lower frame 3 is opposed to the left and right. The end of the lower frame 3 is fixed to the column main body 28 with screws 30, and the upper end of the glass plate 5 is handrailed. It is fitted in the section 4 with the glass fitting part 11 of the base frame 8 of the headboard 2 being fitted and the left and right end parts being fitted to the glass fitting part 32 of the joint frame 29.
