Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] 〔Technical field〕 This invention relates to stair handrails.

[Background technology]

Generally, lighting equipment for illuminating stair spaces is attached to the ceiling or wall, which has the disadvantage that it does not provide uniform bright illumination over the entire stair tread. On the other hand, there were some stair handrails with built-in lighting equipment to illuminate the stair treads (for example,
-035196), the walls and ceiling became dark.
In addition, 3-way switches are installed on the walls of the 1st and 2nd floors.
Since the mounting position is not standardized, it has to be changed for each building design, which is a hassle.

[Purpose of invention]

The purpose of this invention is to provide a stair handrail that can provide uniform and sufficient brightness on the stair treads, illuminate the walls, illuminate the space above the stairs, and be easy to switch. be.

[Disclosure of invention]

The stair handrail of this invention has a hollow handrail body with a groove opening that opens from the bottom surface to the side surface on the wall side, and a lamp, a stabilizer, and a starter arranged in the hollow part of the handrail body, and has a stair tread. The handrail includes a plurality of lighting fixtures that uniformly illuminate the handrail, and a three-way switch that is provided at both ends of the handrail body and turns on and off the lighting fixtures.

According to the configuration of this invention, since the lamp is disposed within the handrail parallel to the stairs, the treads of the stairs are illuminated through the groove opening, so that uniform and sufficient illumination of the treads can be obtained. Moreover, since the groove opening is also open on the wall surface side, the wall surface can be brightly illuminated, and the reflected light from the wall surface can illuminate the space above the stairs. Additionally, a 3-way switch is provided at both ends of the handrail body, making the position clear and easy to operate.

An embodiment of this invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 3. In other words, 1 is a staircase, 2 is a tread thereof, and 3 is a handrail.The handrail 3 has a main body 3a made of an extruded material such as aluminum and formed into a hollow shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section, and has a lower surface facing the stairs 1 and a wall surface. A groove opening 4 is formed so as to span the sides, and the groove opening 4 is covered with a transparent cover made of punching metal 5 or polycarbonate.
This handrail main body 3a is attached to a wall surface using a support fitting 6. Inside the handrail body 3a, there are a plurality of lighting fixtures 8a, 8.
b are arranged at predetermined intervals, each comprising a lamp 9, which is an embodiment of a straight fluorescent lamp, a ballast 10, a starter 11, which is an embodiment of an electronic starter, and a terminal 1.
2 are installed in a row. Further, three-way switches 13 and 14 are provided at both ends of the handrail body 3a. These wires 15 are guided into the wall surface 7 through the inside of the handrail body 3a and the support metal fitting 6, and are wired indoors.

FIG. 3 shows the light distribution Q when the lamp 9 is turned on instantly by the starter 11 when the switch is operated, and the light passes through the punched metal 5 or the translucent cover to illuminate the tread 2 of the stairs 1 and the lower part of the wall 7. Since the light does not directly enter the eyes E of people going up and down the stairs 1, there is no glare. Moreover, since the reflected light from the wall surface 7 can illuminate the upper part of the stairs 1,
The ceiling side of the room will also become brighter.

With this structure, in this embodiment, by arranging the plurality of lamps 9 at predetermined intervals, the illuminance of the treads 2 of the stairs 1 can be made uniform and sufficient, making it easy for people going up and down and safe and secure. . In addition, since the light does not directly hit the eyes, there is no glare, and even if there are lighting fixtures on the ceiling, there is no need to consider the illuminance of the stair treads.Furthermore, the light reflected from the wall illuminates the space above the stairs, so it is relatively light. It can be made weaker, and the glare caused by the light is also reduced. Furthermore, 3-way switches 13 and 14 are provided at both ends of the handrail body 3a, and since the handrail 3 serves as a place to rest your hand when going up and down the stairs 1, the 3-way switches 13 and 14 are placed on the wall surface 7. It is easier to find the switches 13 and 14 than when they are installed, and therefore easier to operate, and when they are installed on a wall, their positional relationship with the top and bottom ends of the stairs tends to be unclear, so it is difficult to find the switches 13 and 14 depending on the building design. However, since the switch position is clear, the design becomes easier.

Furthermore, since the lighting fixtures 8a, 8b and the three-way switches 13, 14 can be incorporated when the handrail 3 is manufactured in a factory, labor-saving wiring work at the building site can be achieved.

[Effect of idea]

According to this invention, since the lamp is disposed within the handrail parallel to the stairs, the treads of the stairs are illuminated through the groove openings, so that uniform and sufficient illumination of the treads can be obtained. Moreover, since the groove opening is also open on the wall surface side, the wall surface can be brightly illuminated, and the reflected light from the wall surface can illuminate the space above the stairs. Additionally, since the 3-way switch is provided at both ends of the handrail body, the position is clear and easy to operate.
