Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Purpose of invention" (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a handrail for a bathroom.

(Prior art and its problems) When boiling water stored in a bathtub, storing boiling water, or pouring hot water into an empty bathtub, part or all of the top of the bathtub is It is normal to cover it with a lid. There are various types of bath lids as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D. Figure A shows a two-piece lid set, Figure B shows a lid set made up of a plurality of pieces, C shows a folding lid, and D shows a folding lid.

Needless to say, a bath lid like the one described above is not necessary when taking a bath. Therefore, conventionally, Fig. 6 A or B
Lid holders 7 and 8 for the bath lid 5 as shown in the figure have been devised. However, these lid holders 7 and 8 require that their mounting bases (not shown) must be buried in the vertical wall of the bathroom. However, large-scale construction work by specialized contractors was required. Few customers were willing to go to the trouble of carrying out the above-mentioned large-scale construction just to temporarily hold the bath lid, and as a result, in most cases, there was no place to store the bath lid.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and allows the bath lid to be stored using the handrail, which has become an essential part of modern bathroom equipment. The purpose is to provide a new handrail that eliminates the need for large-scale construction.

``Structure of the invention'' (Focus of the invention) Recently, society is aging, and the number of households with elderly people is increasing year by year. These households also install handrails in the bathroom so that the elderly can bathe safely. Of course, the handrail is an important aid in daily life not only for the elderly, but also for the physically disabled and injured. For this reason, most bathrooms that will be built in the future, and even existing bathrooms, are gradually being equipped with handrails. In view of these recent social circumstances, the present invention focuses on storing the bath lid using the conventional handrail.

(Means for solving the problem) The gist of the proposed handrail is that, in a bathroom handrail consisting of a grip bar and an erected base, the grip bar or the erected base has a part on the side of the bathroom vertical wall of the grip bar. The main feature is that there is a protruding bath lid support that can reserve the insertion space.

(Function) The proposed handrail is designed to store the bath lid in the space surrounded by the grip bar and the construction base against the vertical wall of the bathroom, and the handrail is designed to store the bath lid in the space surrounded by the grip bar and the construction base. Even if there is a problem, it is designed so that it will not lose its original function as a handrail. That is, a bath lid support that extends toward the bathroom vertical wall surface is provided on the grip bar or the construction base. Therefore, it is possible to reserve a space for inserting the hand within the protruding dimension of the bath lid support around the gripping rod, and the gripping rod can be held safely and reliably even in the event of the behavior of the bathtub. You can grab it.

(Example) The present invention will be described below based on drawings showing examples thereof.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the handrail of the present invention. Generally, a handrail consists of a grip bar part 1 and an erected base part 2,2. In this first embodiment, the grip rod part 1 is formed by bending a round bar material into an L shape, and both ends of the grip rod part 1 are further bent toward the bathroom vertical wall surface 4. The bent construction bases 2, 2 are integrally formed. The most distinctive feature of this handrail is:
A bath lid support 3 is provided to protrude from the grip bar 1 or the construction base 2.

In the first embodiment, the horizontal bar part 1 in the grip bar part 1 is
Bath lid supports 3, 3 are provided protrudingly near both ends of a. The bath lid support 3 is protruded from the surface of the grip bar 1 that faces the bathroom vertical wall surface 4, and its protruding direction is approximately perpendicular to the bathroom vertical wall surface 4. The protruding dimension of the bath lid support 3 is such that when the bath lid 5 is placed against the bath lid support 3, there is a gap between the grip bar 1 and the bath lid 5 between both the bath lid supports 3, 3. It requires a size that allows the tip of a finger to be inserted, and in this example, it is set to 10 mm. That is, if the fingertip can be inserted smoothly, the grip bar 1 can be easily grasped by simply pushing the hand in. In this first embodiment, since the mutual spacing between the bath lid supports 3 and 3 is long,
It is suitable for storing the two-piece lid set shown in FIG. 5A. In the first embodiment, to store the bath lid 5, it may be slid horizontally from the front side of the bathtub 6, or it may be inserted vertically from above the handrail. good.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the handrail of the present invention. In this second embodiment, all types of bath lids shown in FIG. 5 can be stored. That is, the bath lid support 3 is made of a wire material and is installed on the grip bar 1 so as to be parallel to the horizontal bar 1a thereof. In this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the insertion space X for grasping the grip rod 1 is formed so as to be surrounded by the bath lid support 3. was made to protrude about 30 mm from the grip bar part 1. Note that if the protruding dimension is too large, there is a risk that the bather or the like may mistake the insertion space X for the storage space of the bath lid, so it should be approximately equal to or slightly larger than the wall thickness of the bath lid. It is preferable to keep it at a minimum.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing a third embodiment of the handrail of the present invention. In this third embodiment, the bath lid support 3 is made of the same linear material as in the second embodiment, but the construction structure is such that the grip bar 1 is
After hanging down directly below the horizontal rod portion 1a, it is bent and protruded toward the bathroom vertical wall surface 4. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the protruding base 3a of the bath lid support 3 from becoming a hindrance when gripping the grip bar 1. In addition, when a bather or the like stands up near the grip bar 1, the bath lid support 3
It also has an excellent appearance because it is hidden behind the screen and cannot be seen.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a fourth embodiment of the handrail according to the present invention. In this fourth embodiment, a bath lid support 3 made of a wire material is installed between the installation bases 2 for the grip bar 1. in this way,
The configuration and shape of the handrail according to the present invention can be changed as appropriate depending on the mode of implementation.

"Effect of the invention" As is clear from the above explanation, according to the bathroom handrail of the present invention, the handrail, which is becoming an essential part of bathroom equipment, is used to store the bath lid. There is no need to perform large-scale construction and separately install a lid holder. Furthermore, even when the bath lid is retracted, the original function of the handrail is maintained, and it has many excellent advantages such as safety.
