Description

  The present invention relates to a handrail fixed to a wall surface, which is used as an aid when an elderly person falls in the toilet or bathroom, or when standing up.

Conventionally, handrails installed in a toilet or bathroom are generally provided in a bar shape horizontally or vertically. This type of handrail has a narrow gripping range, and the range of use is limited because the position such as height is fixed, especially in facilities that are used by an unspecified number of users when using an unreasonable posture that matches the handrail In addition, it is not convenient because the body cannot be supported, and there is also a danger that the user hits the rod-shaped end. For this reason, the invention “handrail” of the following document has been proposed as means for solving the expansion of the gripping range and the prevention of danger.
JP 2001-146829 A

  Since toilets and bathrooms such as facilities are used by an unspecified number of elderly people and physically handicapped people, the “handrail” of the above-mentioned patent document has been proposed because of the need to improve the convenience of handrails for users. However, since this proposal has a triangular shape, the space that can be grasped at the corners is narrow, and there is a problem such as a danger when it hits a corner that is an end. An object of the present invention is to provide a handrail with high convenience and safety.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the device according to claim 1 is a handrail having a shape in which an end portion and a corner portion are not provided on an outer periphery, and at least a part of the handrail is formed in a semicircular shape. .

  The device according to claim 2, wherein the shape of the handrail is circular.

  The invention according to claim 3 is a handrail having a shape in which no end or corner is provided on the outer periphery, and a handrail member including at least a part of a semicircular shape, or a center portion of a circular shape handrail Is characterized by being arranged radially.

  The invention according to claim 4 is a handrail having a shape in which no end portion or corner portion is provided on the outer periphery, and a handrail member including at least a part of a semicircular shape, or a center portion of a circular shape handrail A handrail made by arranging the radii in a radial pattern is constituted by a combination of 2 to 16 divided members made of wood.

  The present invention has the following effects. The invention described in claim 1 or 2 is a handrail having a shape that does not have an end or a corner on the outer periphery, and at least a part of the handrail is formed in a semicircular shape, For example, the shape is circular or elliptical. Conventional bar-shaped and triangular handrails have a high risk when hitting the user's body at the edges and corners, and this type of handrail has a narrow range of gripping and its height and other positions are fixed, In facilities that are used by an unspecified number of users, there is a lack of convenience because the body may not be able to support the body with an unreasonable posture that matches the handrail. The handrail of the present invention does not have an edge or corner on the outer periphery, so there is less danger when hitting the body, for example, it is a loop shape with a semicircular shape, and it can be grasped by the user etc. It is easy to grasp at the combined position, and the body is supported with a reasonable posture, which improves convenience.

  The invention described in claim 3 is a handrail having a shape in which no end or corner portion is provided on the outer periphery, and at least a part of the handrail that is formed in a semicircular shape, or a center portion of a circular handrail. A handrail characterized in that handrail members are arranged radially. By adding the handrail members arranged radially, the range that can be gripped by the handrail is expanded to further improve convenience, and the handrail is highly reliable and has excellent strength and rigidity for supporting the body.

  The invention described in claim 4 is a handrail comprising a combination of 2 to 16 divided members made of wood. For example, the circular handrail is a single handrail. In the case of manufacturing with a member, the processing time of the member and a wasteful portion of the processing material are large, and the manufacturing cost becomes high. The present invention is a handrail having a shape that does not have an end or a corner on the outer periphery, and is a combination of a handrail that is formed at least partially in a semicircular shape, or a circular handrail combined with a wooden divided member. Production of members can reduce production costs because there are few wasted materials and processing time is short.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the handrail according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A circular handrail 1 and an elliptical handrail 2 which are one of the embodiments are handrails which are not provided with an end or a corner on the outer periphery and are at least partially configured in a semicircular shape. It is installed on the wall surface 4 of the place where it is used. Although the present embodiment shows the installation of the circular handrail 1 on both wall surfaces of the toilet wall surface 4 and the opposing wall surface 4a, it may be installed on one wall surface. The handrail constructed in this way has a wider range of grips, and can be gripped with both hands, so that the body can be supported with a reasonable posture. Furthermore, since the end and corners are not provided on the outer periphery, the handrail has improved convenience and safety with less danger even when the body collides with it. The cross-sectional shape of the circular handrail 1 and the elliptical handrail 2 is preferably a shape having no corners, such as a circle or an ellipse, and the spherical grooves 5 are preferably provided at predetermined intervals to facilitate gripping of the handrail.

  As another embodiment of the present invention, the handrail members 6 and 7 are arranged radially from the center members 8 and 9 of the circular handrail 1 and the elliptical handrail 2 toward the handrails 1 and 2, and the end portion 10 has a circular shape. The shape handrail 1 and the elliptical shape handrail 2 are fitted. The other ends of the handrail members 6 and 7 are fitted to the center members 8 and 9. The handrail constructed in this way has a larger gripping position and range, further enhancing convenience. Moreover, it becomes a highly reliable handrail excellent in strength and rigidity for supporting the body. Further, in another embodiment, the circular handrail 1 and the elliptical handrail 2 are constituted by combining the divided members from the production surface, and the circular handrail 1 is combined by the eight divided members 11, and a predetermined curve is obtained. The end portion 12 of the divided member 11 processed into a rod shape is processed to be thinner than the handrail portion, and the other end is processed with a fitting hole into which the end portion 12 processed to be thin is inserted. The eight divided members 11 processed in this way are connected and combined to form the circular handrail 1. At the time of combination, the end portion 12 and the fitting hole to be inserted can be firmly connected with a predetermined adhesive. Similarly to the above, the elliptical handrail 2 is also configured by connecting the divided members 14 processed into a predetermined shape.
