Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This design has a circular rod holder that fits into the vertical tube of a horizontally long circular handrail body that is continuous in two stages, upper and lower, and is connected to the lower end of the support rod that supports the handrail body. Enlarged, small holes are provided in the center of the circumferential side of the rod holder, and on the left and right circumferential sides, into which stop rods separately provided at regular intervals fit and are removed.
This invention relates to an openable/closable handrail for handicapped persons in which the handrail body stops at that point when the stop rod is inserted into any of the small holes, and slides on the circumferential side of the rod holder when it comes out.

Conventionally used handrails for handicapped persons are either simply fixed to both sides of the toilet bowl, or are rotatable or have a rotating device provided outside the handrail. These handrails make it difficult for a person with a disability to get on or off the toilet because the space between the handrails on both sides of the toilet is narrow, and if a handrail is equipped with a rotating device outside the handrail, it is difficult to understand how to turn the handrail. , and is also unsightly in appearance.

In this case, in order to stop the handrail parallel to both sides of the toilet bowl, it is enough to fit the stop rod into the small hole in the center of the side surface around the rod receiver, and to widen the front of the toilet, the stop rod can be inserted into the small hole in the center. If it is pulled out further and inserted into a small hole outside the center, the opening will be either small or large depending on the distance from the center.

To explain this with an example, by tightening the screw 4 to the lower end of the handrail support rod 3 that is inserted into the vertical tube 2 of the horizontally long circular handrail body 1 which is bent in two stages upward and downward and continuous. A rod holder 7 that is integrally attached and continuous at right angles to the mounting surface 6 of the board 5 is enlarged into a notched circular shape, and a small hole 8 is formed in the center of the circular side of the rod holder 7, and regular intervals are formed on the left and right circumferential sides of the rod holder 7. Small holes of the same shape 8', 8', 8'',
In addition, an oval sliding hole 11 of the same shape is provided on the upper surface of the lower pipe adjacent to the curved portion 9 of the handrail 1, and an oval sliding hole 11 of the same shape is provided on the lower surface of the lower pipe adjacent to the vertical pipe 2. A projection 10 having a hole 12 is provided, and a front end portion 13 is provided as a separate part.
is bent upward, and the rear end portion 14 is bent downward to form a stop rod 15, and a helical spring 16 is wound around the stop rod 15, and one end is turned into the stop rod 15.
The other end is fixed to the auxiliary tube 17 into which it is inserted, and the auxiliary tube 17 is inserted into the lower tube of the handrail 1, and the upward front end 13 of the stop rod 15 is inserted into the sliding hole 11. In addition, by inserting the downward rear end portion 14 into the sliding hole 12 to expose the lower part, and sliding the stop rod 15 back and forth and rotating the handrail 1, the small hole 8 of the rod holder 7 is inserted. , 8′, 8′, 8″, 8″ stop rod 1
The lower part of the downward rear end portion 14 of 5 is inserted into or removed from the other small hole to change the direction of the handrail body 1 and widen the front surface of the toilet bowl.
8 is a handle, 19 is an upper rod holder, 20 and 21 are protrusions, 22 and 23 are set screws, and 24 is a mounting screw hole.

The proposed system has the same configuration as described above, and one identical unit is installed in parallel on both sides of the toilet bowl. When the handrail body 1 is parallel to the toilet bowl, in order to widen its front surface, push the handle 18 forward and push the lower part of the stop rod 15 in the auxiliary tube 17, which is inserted into the lower tube of the handrail body 1, into the rod. If the handrail body 1 is pulled out of the small hole 8 of the receiver 7 and then rotated and inserted into the other small holes 8', 8' or 8'', 8'', the handrail body 1 will stop at that point and the toilet bowl will be removed. The front can be expanded as desired.

Both the upper front end 13 and the lower rear end 14 of the stop rod 15 have a resilient force due to the helical spring 16, and the lower part of the lower rear end 14 of the stop rod 15 can be opened with a small hole without pulling the handle 18. 8, or 8', 8',
8'', 8'' and the direction of the handrail body 1 will not be changed. However, in this case, the direction of the handrail body 1 can be changed by simply pushing the handle 18 forward, so the operation is extremely simple, and since the rotation stop device is not visible on the outside, it is difficult to see because it changes the appearance. In fact, it is something that people with disabilities will appreciate.
