DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a handrail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a long handrail is arranged along a wall or the like to assist a pedestrian in walking at a hospital or to provide a clue when a pedestrian falls down to prevent an accident. Is done.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the handrail has a drawback that it is inferior in design because it is simply a rod fixed along the wall surface, and the height of a pedestrian or the like is high. Have the disadvantage that they are not helpful for all pedestrians, because the height of the handle is determined, though different.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has as its object to provide a handrail which is safe and excellent in design.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the object is to simply provide a grip portion 1 having a grippable rod formed in an annular shape.
And a plurality of the unit component parts in the longitudinal direction.
And formed in a belt shape in the width direction.
This is achieved by providing a handrail for a pedestrian .

The handrail is formed in a belt shape having a predetermined width and a predetermined length, and a plurality of gripping portions 1, 1... Formed by rods are arranged in a longitudinal direction and a width direction. These grips 1 are arranged on the same plane to prevent protrusion from the handrail forming surface, and provide a pedestrian with a handle.

[0007] In order to function as a handle, the rod forming the grip portion 1 has a thickness necessary to be gripped or supported by a hand, and a soft surface layer is formed as desired. Alternatively, unevenness having a shape matching the finger may be provided on the surface of the grip 1 so that the finger enters the unevenness while the grip 1 is being held.

The grip portion 1 may have a closed shape such as an annular ring or a polygonal ring, or may have an open shape such as a C-shape or L-shape. In such a case, at least a central part is provided with a space in which a hand can be put.

Therefore, when the handrails according to the present invention are installed at an appropriate distance from the wall surface, a plurality of pedestrians can be arranged in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the handrails and can grasp an arbitrary gripping portion 1. As a result, it is necessary to grasp a coping or the like at a predetermined height position on the floor surface with a normal straight-rod handrail, but in the present invention, a plurality of gripping portions 1 having different heights from the floor surface are required. , 1..., The gripper 1 at the close position can be grasped in an immediate case, so that the safety is greatly improved.

Further, a plurality of gripping portions 1 are arranged in the longitudinal direction and the width direction. Since the grip portion 1 forms a pattern, the appearance is enhanced compared to a conventional handrail in which a bar-shaped cap is simply arranged along the wall surface.

[0011] When the shape of the grip portion 1 as described above can be selected arbitrarily, the bunch lifting unit 1 is formed annularly, to pop out portion is eliminated, can further improve the safety in Become. In addition, the grips 1 can be arranged discontinuously, but when they are provided continuously, it is possible to move along the handrail while gripping the adjacent grips 1 one after another.

Furthermore, it is also possible to interposed connecting grip portion 1B between ring-shaped gripping portion 1A. By interposing the holding part 1 for connection, a handrail can be formed only by connecting the holding parts 1A formed in advance as unit components to each other by the holding part 1 for connection, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency. Can be done.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment in which the present invention is configured as a wall handrail installed along a wall surface 2. FIG. The handrail is formed in a belt shape having a predetermined length L and a predetermined width W, and is fixed to the wall surface 2 at a fixing portion 3 provided at an appropriate position.

Reference numeral 1A denotes an annular grip portion arranged at equal pitches on a handrail, and is formed by bending a rod such as a round pipe into an annular shape. This annular grip portion 1A has a space at the center where a hand can be easily put in, and a coating layer 6 made of a soft resin material is formed on the surface.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the annular grip 1A is formed in advance as a unit component having a connecting portion 4 formed at a predetermined pitch angle on the outer peripheral surface, and is connected to the connecting portion 4. A handrail is formed by being connected to each other via a straight rod-shaped connecting grip 1B. In this embodiment, the annular grip 1A is formed in an annular shape,
A screw hole that becomes the connecting portion 4 is opened at a pitch, and the connecting grip portion 1B and the annular grip portion 1A are connected by screwing the male screw portion 5 formed at the tip of the connecting grip portion 1B into the screw hole. Is done. The connecting grip 1B is formed by a solid round bar having substantially the same outer shape as the annular grip 1, and a coating layer 6 is formed on the surface.

The coating layer 6 can be formed by forming a resin film by dipping or the like on the surface of the annular holding portion 1A or the connecting holding portion 1B in a single state. , A cover having a C-shaped cross section can be formed, and the cover can be elastically fitted to the grip portion 1. When the annular grip 1A or the connecting grip 1B is molded from a synthetic resin material, the coating layer 6 can be simultaneously molded on the surface by double molding, and the feel is good. In such a case, the coating layer 6 need not be provided.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the annular holding portion 1A is formed in an annular shape having an inside diameter D enough to allow a hand, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to form a rhombus shape as shown in FIG. 3A or another polygonal shape, and it is also possible to mix annular grip portions 1A of different shapes.

Further, in the illustrated example, the annular grip 1
A and the connecting rod 1B in the form of a straight rod are each formed as a unit component, and a handrail is formed by sequentially connecting them. In addition to this, two connecting grips 1B are used.
B and the annular gripper 1 are configured in advance as unit component parts,
A handrail may be constructed by being connected to each other, or a unit in which four connecting grips 1B and an annular grip 1A are integrated may be used as a unit component, and the annular grips 1A may be connected to each other. Various modifications such as forming a handrail are possible.

Further, in the above description, the annular holding portion 1A
Although the case where the handrails are formed by mutually connecting as a unit component has been shown, it is also possible to form a handrail including a plurality of annular gripping portions 1A in advance as a unit component and connect them to each other. is there. In this case, after the appropriate rods are joined in advance by welding or the like, the coating layer 6 is formed by dipping a resin material on the surface.

Further, in the above, the connecting grip 1
Although the case where the annular grip portions 1A are connected via B has been described, it is also possible to directly connect the annular grip portions 1A as shown in FIG.

Further, it is possible to use a gripping portion other than an annular shape. For example, as shown in FIG. Can be mixed with the holding portion 1A.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the grip portion 1 can be formed only by a straight rod, or can be formed by a curved rod (not shown). As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the rod having the coating layer 6 formed on the surface layer is used as a unit component, and the unit components can be easily connected to each other via the connecting member 7. . In FIG. 5B, reference numeral 7a denotes a connecting leg formed on the connecting member 7, which is press-fitted into the hollow portion 8 of the hollow pipe-like rod or after the connecting leg 7a is inserted into the hollow portion 8 of the rod. , Screwed and connected to the rod.

[0023]

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a handrail having excellent design and high safety.
