  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment thereof.

Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing a strap according to the first embodiment.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a strap, and the strap 1 includes a handle 11 and a strap 12 (support member).
The handle 11 has an annular shape.
The strap 12 is an endless band. The strap 12 is wrapped around the handle 11 and the holding pipe 21 (holding tool).

  The holding pipe 21 is provided inside a vehicle (for example, a train or a bus). The holding pipe 21 extends in the lateral direction (hereinafter, referred to as the left-right direction). The holding pipe 21 is supported by a support body (not shown) that projects downward from the ceiling of the vehicle.

The strap 12 hangs from the holding pipe 21. The strap 12 supports the handle 11 at the lower end of the strap 12 so that the handle 11 can rotate in the circumferential direction.
At the central portion of the strap 12 in the up-down direction, a part of the front side and a part of the rear side of the strap 12 are fastened to each other by an appropriate fastener 121.

  A gate-shaped member 22 is fixed to the upper portion of the holding pipe 21. The gate-shaped member 22 straddles the portion of the strap 12 wound around the holding pipe 21 in the left-right direction. The gate-shaped member 22 prevents the strap 12 from shifting in the lateral direction.

The passenger of the vehicle grips the lower part of the handle 11 to support his / her body.
In order to sterilize the handle 11, the strap 1 is provided with a sterilization device 3.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the disinfection device 3.
The sterilization device 3 includes a cover 4.
The cover 4 covers the upper half of the handle 11 and the lower end of the strap 12. Even if it is covered with the cover 4, the handle 11 can rotate in the circumferential direction.
The cover 4 has a hollow, hemispherical shape that is flat in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom wall of the cover 4 is provided with two insertion holes 41, 41 arranged side by side in the left-right direction. The handle 11 has a play and is inserted into the insertion holes 41, 41.
A through hole 42 through which the strap 12 penetrates is provided at the top of the cover 4. The peripheral portion of the through hole 42 sandwiches the strap 12 from the front-rear direction. Since the lower end of the strap 12 is wrapped around the handle 11, the front side and the rear side of the strap 12 are wider than the length of the through hole 42 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the lower end portion of the strap 12 does not come out of the upper side of the cover 4 through the through hole 42.

  Two holding pieces 43, 43 are provided on the inner surface of the cover 4. The holding pieces 43, 43 project downward from the peripheral portion of the through hole 42. One surface of each of the holding pieces 43, 43 faces in the left-right direction. The holding pieces 43 and 43 sandwich the strap 12 in the left-right direction so as not to contact the handle 11. Each holding piece 43 is provided with an insertion hole 431 through which the handle 11 is inserted with play.

  A block-shaped base body 44 is provided on the inner surface of the cover 4. The base body 44 is arranged below the lower end of the strap 12. On the upper surface of the base 44, two LEDs 31, 31 are provided so as to project.

  Each LED 31 is a light emitting element that emits ultraviolet rays (particularly, ultraviolet C waves). One optical axis of the LEDs 31, 31 is directed to the left side of the strap 12 and to the inner circumference of the upper half of the handle 11. The other optical axis of the LEDs 31, 31 is directed to the right of the strap 12 and to the inner circumference of the upper half of the handle 11. As a result, the ultraviolet rays emitted from the LEDs 31, 31 are directly applied to the inner circumference of the upper half of the handle 11.

The cover 4 has a light blocking effect. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ultraviolet rays from leaking to the outside of the cover 4.
It is desirable that the inner surface of the cover 4 has light reflectivity for reflecting ultraviolet rays. Part of the ultraviolet rays emitted from the LEDs 31, 31 are reflected on the inner surface of the cover 4 and are applied to the outer circumference of the handle 11.
It is preferable that a protective layer for protecting the handle 11 and the strap 12 from ultraviolet rays is formed on the surface of the handle 11 and the surface of the strap 12. The handle 11 and the strap 12 may be made of a material having excellent resistance to ultraviolet rays.

The LEDs 31 and 31 are supplied with power through the power supply line 311. The power supply line 311 extends through the inside of the strap 12 to the gate-shaped member 22.
A control device 32 of the strap 1 is placed on the upper surface of the gate-shaped member 22. The control device 32 includes an LED driver that drives the LEDs 31 and 31, and a control unit (not shown) that controls turning on and off of the LEDs 31 and 31 via the LED driver. The power supply line 311 drawn to the gate-shaped member 22 is connected to the LED driver of the control device 32.
A power supply line from a vehicle-mounted power source (not shown) provided in the vehicle to the control device 32 is arranged inside the holding pipe 21 or on the peripheral surface of the holding pipe 21.

The control unit of the control device 32 turns off the LEDs 31 and 31 when the first predetermined time has elapsed after the LEDs 31 and 31 have been turned on, and turns off the LED 31 when the second predetermined time has elapsed after turning off the LEDs 31 and 31. , 31 are turned on repeatedly. That is, the LEDs 31, 31 periodically emit light for the first predetermined time.
The first predetermined time and the second predetermined time may be the same as or different from each other.

The cover 4 shown in FIG. 2 can be divided into a cover member 51 shown in FIG. 1 and a cover member 52 shown in FIG. 3 described later.
The cover member 51 constitutes a half (for example, the front half) of the cover 4 in the circumferential direction. The cover member 51 has half of the peripheral portion of each insertion hole 41, half of the peripheral portion of the through hole 42, and half of each holding piece 43 (half of the peripheral portion of the insertion hole 431). The base body 44 is provided on the inner surface of the cover member 51.
A plurality of screw holes 511, 511, ... Are provided inside the cover member 51. The screw hole 511 is formed in the base 44 or a boss protruding from the inner surface of the cover member 51.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the cover member 52.
The cover member 52 constitutes the remaining half (for example, the rear half) of the cover 4 in the circumferential direction. The cover member 52 has the remaining half of the peripheral portion of each insertion hole 41, the remaining half of the peripheral portion of the through hole 42, and the remaining half of each holding piece 43 (the remaining half of the peripheral portion of the insertion hole 431).
The cover member 52 is provided with through holes 521, 521, ... Corresponding to the screw holes 511, 511, ... Of the cover member 51 (see FIG. 2).
The cover members 51 and 52 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 are arranged so as to sandwich the handle 11 from the front-rear direction in a non-contact state and sandwich the strap 12 from the front-rear direction, and the cover member 52 is screwed to the cover member 51. By doing so, they are integrated as shown in FIG.

In the strap 1, when the LEDs 31 and 31 emit light, ultraviolet rays are emitted toward the upper half of the handle 11 inside the cover 4. Ultraviolet rays (in particular, ultraviolet C waves) have the effect of inactivating DNA by acting on the DNA of living organisms, and can effectively kill all kinds of pathogenic bacteria and viruses in a short time. Therefore, it is possible to effectively sterilize the portion of the handle 11 that is irradiated with ultraviolet rays.
Since the germs are sterilized by using the ultraviolet rays emitted from the LEDs 31, 31, it is not necessary to frequently maintain the sterilization device 3. That is, the sterilization effect can be maintained for a long period of time.

The user holds the lower part of the handle 11. The user's hand contacts the lower part of the handle 11.
The user rotates the handle 11 before gripping the handle 11. With the rotation of the handle 11, the part of the handle 11 which is not covered by the cover 4 moves to the inside of the cover 4 and is covered by the cover 4, and the part of the handle 11 which is covered by the cover 4 moves. It moves to the outside and is exposed from the cover 4. When the handle 11 is rotated half a turn, the upper half of the handle 11 becomes the lower half of the handle 11, and the lower half of the handle 11 becomes the upper half of the handle.

Since the LEDs 31, 31 radiate ultraviolet rays toward the upper half of the handle 11, the portion of the handle 11 that comes into contact with the user's hand can be effectively sterilized. As a result, the user can grip the sterilized portion of the handle 11. The portion gripped by the user is the portion that has been actively removed from the cover 4 by the user and has been sterilized, so that the user's sense of security is enhanced.
The LEDs 31, 31 are turned on and off periodically. That is, since the ultraviolet rays are not irradiated for a long time, the deterioration of the handle 11 due to the ultraviolet rays can be suppressed.

A method of using the strap 1 may be described on the outer surface of the cover 4. In addition, a guide for the amount of rotation of the handle 11 may be written on the surface of the handle 11.
The cover 4 is not limited to a hemispherical shape, and may have a box shape, for example.
The handle 11 is not limited to the structure supported by the strap 12. For example, the handle 11 may be supported by a tip end portion of a lever or an arm whose base end portion is attached to the holding pipe 21.
The strap 1 or the sterilization device 3 may be equipped with a power source (dry battery, rechargeable battery, solar battery, or the like).

The number of LEDs 31 may be one or three or more.
Inside the cover 4, an LED 31 whose optical axis is directed to the outer periphery of the upper half of the handle 11 may be further arranged. In this case, since the inner and outer circumferences of the handle 11 are directly irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the inner surface of the cover 4 does not need to have light reflectivity.

Hereinafter, a procedure for attaching the sterilization device 3 to the strap 1 that does not include the sterilization device 3 will be described.

The worker pulls the power supply line 311 through the inside of the strap 12 to the upper side of the cover member 51 (see FIG. 1).

  Further, the worker arranges the cover member 52 on the other side (for example, the rear side) of the handle 11 and the strap 12 so that the insertion holes 41, 41 open downward, and faces the cover member 51.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of recesses 512, 512, ... Are provided on the end surface of the cover member 51 that contacts the cover member 52. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of convex portions 522, 522, ... Are provided on the end surface of the cover member 52 which is in contact with the cover member 51. By fitting the convex portions 522, 522, ... Into the concave portions 512, 512, ..., The operator can align the cover member 51 and the cover member 52 with each other. At this time, the cover members 51 and 52 sandwich the handle 11 in a non-contact state, and sandwich the strap 12 between the peripheral portion of the through hole 42 and the holding pieces 43 and 43. The handle 11 is loosely inserted into the insertion holes 41, 41, 431.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the sterilization process performed on the strap 1.
The control unit 321 determines whether the handle 11 has rotated based on the detection result of the rotation detection unit 63 (S11).
When the handle 11 is not rotated (NO in S11), the handle 11 executes the process of S11 again.

When the handle 11 is rotated (YES in S11), the control unit 321 lights the LEDs 31 and 31 by starting the output of the ON signal to the LED driver 312 (S12). Further, the control unit 321 causes the notification unit 33 to light in red by starting the output of the control signal indicating red to the drive circuit 331 (S13). Further, the control unit 321 starts measuring elapsed time (S14).
Next, the control unit 321 determines whether or not a predetermined time has passed (S15).

When the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S15), the control unit 321 turns off the LEDs 31 and 31 by ending the input of the ON signal to the LED driver 312 (S16). Further, the control unit 321 causes the notification unit 33 to light up in green by starting the output of the control signal indicating green to the drive circuit 331 (S17). Further, the control unit 321 ends the disinfection process.
After the disinfection process is completed, the control unit 321 restarts the disinfection process from S11.

If the predetermined time has not elapsed (NO in S15), the control unit 321 determines whether the handle 11 has rotated based on the detection result of the rotation detection unit 63 (S18).
When the handle 11 is not rotated (NO in S18), the handle 11 returns the process to S15.
When the handle 11 has rotated (YES in S18), the handle 11 returns the process to S14.

  By the way, for example, in order to eradicate Escherichia coli with ultraviolet rays of 254 nm at a killing rate of 99.9%, the UV irradiation dose required is 5400 μW · sec / cm 2, and it is necessary to kill influenza virus with a killing rate of 99.9%. It is said that the UV irradiation dose is 3400 μW · sec / cm2. It is desirable that the length of the predetermined time for continuing the irradiation of the ultraviolet rays is determined from the intensity of the ultraviolet rays emitted from the LEDs 31 and 31 and the area to be sterilized.
