Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an openable handrail for a handicapped person that is installed horizontally on both sides of a toilet bowl and can be opened and closed freely so that the handicapped person using the toilet can use the toilet bowl without any inconvenience.

Conventionally used handrails for people with disabilities are either simply horizontally fixed handrails on both sides of the toilet bowl, or a rotating shaft is provided on both sides of the toilet bowl, and a horizontal U-shaped handrail is attached to the rotating shaft and installed horizontally. , A horizontal rod with a continuous spring is installed between the upper and lower frames of the handrail, and the end of the horizontal rod can be freely inserted into and removed from the cut groove of the fixed locking ring so that it can rotate. It is.

Of these handrails, the former handrail is difficult for people with disabilities to use when using the toilet, as the space between the left and right handrails is narrow and fixed, making it difficult for people with disabilities to not only feel cramped when stepping onto or leaving the toilet. They also feel inconvenienced when grooming themselves after defecation. In the latter case, the handrail rotates left and right to expand the front of the toilet, but the horizontal rod and spring are exposed to the outside, which not only makes the handrail look unsightly, but also makes it difficult for beginners to understand how to rotate it. There are no drawbacks.

The idea is to move the handle on the handrail forward,
The handrail rotates left and right to open and close, and when the handle is returned to its original position, the horizontal rod moves due to the action of the spring that stores it in the hole in the handrail, and the end moves into the slot provided below the handrail support shaft. Since the handrail is inserted into the handle and stops rotating, there is only a handle on the outside of the handrail, and the mechanism for rotating the handrail is
All of the parts are installed inside the handrail's pipe hole and on the handrail support shaft so that they are not exposed to the outside, so it looks good and even beginners can easily rotate the handle once they see the condition of the handle. This is understandable.

To explain this using an example, the bearing 1 is provided at the upper end and the adjustment bearing 2 is screwed onto the lower end, between the bearing 1 and the adjustment bearing 2 of the vertical rectangular mounting plate 3,
As a separate piece, a handrail support shaft 7 is attached with an intervention shaft, which is provided with grooves 4, 4', 4'' that are drilled radially at an angle downward, and protrusions 5, 6 that bulge out the upper and lower ends. to form a base 8, and the handrail support shaft 7 of the base 8
, one side is a tubular vertical shaft 9 into which the handrail support shaft 7 is inserted.
and the other is a tubular curved shaft 10 that can be bent into a horizontal U shape.
While fitting into the vertical shaft 9 of the handrail body 11,
A sliding hole 13 for the horizontal rod 12 is provided on the upper surface of the lower stage of the curved shaft 10, and a helical spring 14 is installed in the horizontal rod 12 in the shaft hole.
One end of the helical spring 14 is fixed to the horizontal rod 12 and the other end is fixed to the auxiliary tube 15.The auxiliary tube 15 is inserted, and the tip of the horizontal rod 12 is inserted into the slot of the handrail support shaft 7. 4, 4', 4'', and 16 in the figure is a locking screw;
7 is a screw part, 18 and 19 are locking screws, 20 is a handle,
21 is a mounting hole.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and when the mounting plate 3 is attached to the wall behind the toilet bowl, the handrail support shaft 7 is fixed and does not move. The vertical axis 9 of the handrail 11 that fits the handrail support shaft 7 is connected to the handle 2
0 to the front of the sliding hole 13, the horizontal rod 12 moves and releases the tip to be fitted into the slot 4, 4' or 4'' of the handrail support shaft 7.The tip of the horizontal rod 12 When the part is removed from the slot 4, 4' or 4'' of the handrail support shaft 7, the vertical shaft 9 becomes free and rotates left and right, and the curved shaft 10 also rotates integrally.

In this way, the present invention is designed for one person, and if the mounting plate 3 of the base 8 is attached to the wall by leaving a certain distance on both the left and right sides of the toilet and adjusting the height, the handrail 11 can be placed on both sides. In this case, after pushing the handle 20 forward and making the handrail 11 parallel to the toilet bowl, if you let go of the handle 20, the curved shaft 10
The spring 14 in the auxiliary tube 15 that is inserted into the lower shaft of the
The distal ends of the handrails 11 are inserted into the slots 4 of the handrail support shaft 7, and the left and right handrails 11 are parallel to each other and stop rotating. If you want to unfold the handrail 11 after using the toilet, slide the handle 20 in the same way as before, and then open the horizontal rod 12.
If the tip of the horizontal rod 12 is inserted into the slot 4', the front surface of the toilet will expand, and if the handle 20 is further slid and the tip of the horizontal rod 12 is inserted into the slot 4'', the handrail 11 will be connected to the toilet. Further widen the gap and stop rotating.Slot holes 4, 4',
4" has the same diameter, is slightly larger than the horizontal rod 12, and is bored at a fixed angle. That is, the slot 4 is bored parallel to the toilet bowl, and the slots 4 and 4" are the same diameter as the horizontal rod 12. Drill holes at 45° and 90° intervals relative to 4. This angle can be changed freely, but by doing so, the handrail 11 can be placed on both sides during or after using the toilet, and the spread can be increased.

The auxiliary pipe 15 has a thickness that fits into the curved shaft 10, and its length is the length from the bent part of the horizontal rod 12 where one end contacts the handrail support shaft 7 and the other end reaches the handle 20. Satoru. By fitting this auxiliary pipe 15 into the curved shaft 10, the horizontal rod 12 moves stably,
The tip of the helical spring 14 can be fitted into the hole 4, 4', or 4''. Also, since the helical spring 14 has one end fixed to the horizontal rod 12 and the other end fixed to the auxiliary pipe 15, the handle After moving the handle 20 forward and rotating the vertical shaft 9, release the grip on the handle 20 to release the spring 14.
The horizontal rod 12 returns to its original position due to the repulsive force.

As described above, the present invention is designed to be most suitable for people with disabilities in their lower limbs and other physical disabilities, so it can be used with confidence.
