Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is designed to move the handrail upwards to eliminate obstacles around the toilet when a disabled person straddles the toilet, or when a caregiver helps a severely disabled person straddle the toilet. can step over the toilet freely without any concerns, and if he sits on the toilet and lowers the handrail to its original position,
The handrails can be placed around the handicapped person to protect their safety by leaning on them, and the front handrail can be moved forward to widen the front distance depending on the difference between adults and children. This relates to a mobile toilet handrail.

A conventional toilet handrail for the handicapped person is one in which side-type handrails provided on the left and right sides of the toilet bowl are moved horizontally to one side to remove obstacles around the toilet bowl, allowing the handicapped person to straddle the toilet bowl. This side-breathing handrail that moves horizontally to one side cannot be moved to the rear of the toilet due to the way it is installed, so disabled people may still not be able to freely straddle the toilet. Particularly in the case of a severely disabled person, the disabled person needs the help of an attendant and moves the handrail together with the attendant, so the moved handrail still becomes an obstacle, making it difficult for the disabled person to straddle the toilet.

In addition, some people with disabilities have to bend forward when sitting on the toilet, but since there was no front handrail in the past, they had to rely only on the side handrails and felt inconvenienced.

This project connects the left and right side handrails, the front handrail, and the front legs integrally, and attaches them to the wall behind the toilet using a mounting plate so that they can move up and down along with the back handrail.
The front handrail is designed to be able to move further forward, so if a disabled person moves the side handrails upwards before stepping over the toilet, the front handrail and front legs will follow the wall and move around the toilet. Since it is opened, the user can freely step over the toilet, and the front handrail can be moved forward to widen the distance between the front and the toilet.

To explain this using an example, female connecting pieces 3, 3 are attached to the front end of a hollow tube 2, 2' having a certain length and thickness and provided with hollow protrusions 1, 1' on the front side. The side handrails 7, 7' are connected by connecting the short pipes 4, 4' that connect the male connecting pieces 5, 5', and connecting the bottomed short pipes 6, 6' that connect the male connecting pieces 5, 5' to the rear end. Forming its side handrail 7,
Left and right sliding parts 9, 9' of the U-shaped front handrail 8 are formed in each pipe hole 7' with circular rods having the same diameter as the pipe hole.
Insert it to one side, and insert the ends 10, 1 of the sliding parts 9, 9'
0' and the bottom surfaces 11, 11' of the bottomed short tubes 6, 6', and springs 12, 12' are interposed and installed between the bottoms 11, 11' of the short tubes 6, 6', and sliding springs are provided on both sides of the hollow tubes 2, 2'. Groove 13,1
3, 13', 13', the sliding part 9 of the front handrail 8,
Both ends of the sliding shafts 14, 14' fixed through the shafts 14, 14' are inserted into the shafts 14, 14' to enlarge the heads to prevent them from coming off, and a pressing force is generated within the hollow protrusions 1, 1 by the elasticity of the springs 15, 15'. The tightened locking rods 16, 16' should be freely inserted into the stop holes 17, 18, 17', 18' provided at intervals at the front and rear of the sliding parts 9, 9' of the front handrail 8. A male connection is connected to the upper end of the front legs 19, 19' having the same diameter and the same length at the crotches of the female connection pieces 3, 3' of the short tubes 4, 4' connected to the front ends of the hollow tubes 2, 2'. Pieces 20 and 20' are interposed and riveted so as to be bendable,
In addition, a male connecting piece 5 of the bottomed short pipe 6, 6' is connected to the rear end.
5' to the shafts 22, 2 at both left and right ends of the back handrail 21.
2', the projecting pieces 24, 2 of the mounting plates 23, 23'
4', in which 25 and 25' are knobs, 26 is a wall surface, 27 is a floor surface,
28, 28' are mounting screws, 29 is a toilet bowl, 30, 3
0' is the foot hole.

This proposal is constructed as described above, and the mounting plates 23, 23' are attached and fixed to the interior wall surface 26 of the toilet, so that when a disabled person enters the toilet in a wheelchair and straddles the toilet bowl 29, If the side handrail 7 or 7' is moved upward, the side handrail 7 or 7'
Since the front handrail 8 and the front legs 19, 19' are integrally connected, they simultaneously move upward together,
The area around the toilet bowl 29 is open, and the disabled person can freely transfer from the wheelchair onto the toilet bowl 29. If the person with a disability climbs onto the toilet bowl 29 and lowers the side handrails 7, 7' back to their original positions, the handicapped person will be surrounded by the side handrails 7, 7' and the front handrail 8, and will be able to support his or her body and use the toilet safely. It is possible. In addition, if a person with a severe disability is accompanied by a caregiver, the caregiver must also enter the toilet and take care of the person with a severe disability, but even in this case, the area around the toilet bowl 29 is open and spacious, allowing the person to use the toilet freely. It is capable of urinating.

Furthermore, some people with disabilities are unable to straddle the toilet 29 in front of them. In this case, the user can straddle the back side of the toilet bowl 29 and grasp the back handrail 21 to support the body.

In this case, the mounting plates 23, 23' are attached to the wall surface 26, and the bottomed short pipes 6,
Since the continuous male connecting pieces 5, 5' are attached to the 6', the side handrails 7, 7' rotate on the thin shafts 22, 22', and the front handrail 8 and the front legs 19, 19' It moves to the wall surface 26 side accompanied by. Therefore, toilet bowl 29
The left, right, and front sides of the building will be open. When the side handrails 7, 7' are lowered back down by the opposite operation, the lower ends of the front feet 19, 19' are on the floor 28,
Since the foot fits into the foot holes 30, 30' provided in the foot 28', the foot is stable without shaking. If the knobs 25, 25' on the outside of the side handrails 7, 7' are pulled outward, the elasticity of the springs 15, 15' will cause the holes 17 in the sliding parts 9, 9' of the front handrail 8 to , 17' are removed, and at the same time, the tips 10, 10' of the sliding parts 9, 9' and the bottomed short pipes 6, 17' are removed.
The front handrail 8 moves forward due to the elasticity of the springs 12, 12' interposed between the bottom surfaces 11, 11' of the 6'
6', the latching rod 16,1
6' is the stop hole 1 due to the elasticity of springs 15, 15'.
8, 18', the front handrail 8 stops, and the space between the front surfaces of the toilet bowl 29 is widened.

In this way, the present invention is an appropriate toilet handrail that is safe for people with disabilities, especially people with severe disabilities.
