[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an end cap.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The balustrade used to install handrails along the wall surface is covered with a soft covering material to improve the feel and safety.

[0003] Conventionally, in order to attach an end cap to an end of such a handrail shed, the handrail shed is fitted to a fitting cylinder portion provided on the end cap, and is screwed to the core material of the handrail shed. Is being done.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the handrail headstock is flexible because the outer periphery is covered with a soft covering material, so that the inner wall of the fitting tubular portion is apt to be fluttered, and the handhold and the clue part are easily formed. The elbow-shaped end cap, which is large and easily subjected to external force, has a drawback in that loosening of screws is likely to occur with long-term use.

The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for an end cap that can improve the mounting strength on a handrail headstock.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 corresponding to the embodiment, the object is to fix the handrail headstock 3 in which the surface of the core material 1 is covered with the soft covering material 2 and the end portion of the handrail headstock 3. An end portion forming member 5 that forms a hard butting surface 4 on the end surface of the covering material 2, and an end cap 7 that includes a fitting tubular portion 6 into which the end portion of the handrail headstock 3 is fitted, The end cap 7 is attached to the end forming member 5 by being screwed, and at the same time, the inner wall of the fitting tubular portion 6 is brought into contact with the abutting surface 4 of the handrail shed 3 so as to prevent the rattling. It is achieved by providing a mounting structure of.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the present invention, the end forming member 5 is fixed to the end of the handrail headstock 3, and the end cap 7 is screwed and attached to the end forming member 5. By fixing the end forming member 5, an abutting surface 4 is formed at the end of the handrail headstock 3, and the abutting surface 4 is brought into contact with the inner wall of the fitting tubular portion 6 of the end cap 7, Graduation of the end cap 7 is prevented.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention. The handrail headstock 3 to which the end cap 7 is attached is composed of a core material 1 formed by extruding an aluminum material and the like, and a covering material 2 that covers the surface of the core material 1. The part forming member 5 is attached.

The covering material 2 is a long member having a C-shaped cross section formed of a soft synthetic resin material in order to improve touch and safety, and has a locking edge 2 a of the opening groove 1 a of the core material 1. It is mounted by locking it on the edge.

The end portion forming member 5 is a die-cast product such as an aluminum material, and is formed by providing an insert portion 10 and a flange portion 11 at both ends of the covering material holding portion 9, as shown in FIG. The insertion portion 10 has a cross-sectional shape that fits into the hollow portion of the core material 1, and is inserted into the hollow portion of the core material 1 and then screwed to the core material 1.

The covering material holding portion 9 is formed in a circular shape having an outer shape circumscribing the cross-sectional shape of the core material 1. The covering material holding portion 9 is provided with a groove portion 9a opened downward from the central portion, and the core portion 12 protruding from the end face of the insertion portion 10 penetrates the inside of the groove portion 9a. Further, the core portion 12 is provided with a screw hole 13 on the wall surface facing the opening of the groove portion 9a.

The flange portion 11 has an outer diameter that substantially matches the outer diameter of the handrail shed 3, and when in contact with the end surface of the covering material 2 when fixed to the core material 1, the end portion of the handrail shed 3 is in contact. The contact surface 4 is formed.

On the other hand, the end cap 7 is formed by providing the fitting tubular portion 6 at one end of the main body portion 7 a bent in an elbow shape and projecting the fixed tubular portion 15 outward from the fitting tubular portion 6. Be done. The flange portion 11 of the end forming member 5 and the handrail shed 3 can be fitted to the fitting tubular portion 6, and the abutting surface thereof is in contact with the abutting surface 4 of the end forming member 5. So that it is a plane.

Further, in this embodiment, the main body portion 7 a of the end cap 7 has an outer diameter of the handrail shed 3 so that the main body 7 a can be visually recognized as an extension of the handrail shed 3 when mounted on the handrail shed 3. The outer diameter of the fitting tubular portion 6 is slightly larger than the outer diameters of the handrail headstock 3 and the main body portion 7a, and the central portion thereof has A concave groove 14 for producing an effect is provided on the entire circumference.

Further, the fixed tubular portion 15 is formed in a cross-sectional shape that can be fitted into the gap between the core portion 12 of the end portion forming member 5 and the groove portion 9a. The fixed cylindrical portion 15 is provided with a screw insertion hole 16 corresponding to the screw hole 13 of the end portion forming member 5. After the fixed cylindrical portion 15 is fitted in the gap, the screw 17 is screwed into the screw insertion hole. It is fixed to the handrail headstock 3 by screwing from 16 into the screw hole 13 of the end portion forming member 5.

In this case, it is not necessary to drill holes for fixing the handrail headstock 3 with a drill or the like at the time of construction, and the covering material 2 may be scratched with a drill or the like even in the fixing work with the covering material 2 covered. There is nothing to do.

Therefore, in this embodiment, first, after fixing the end forming member 5 to the end of the core material 1 of the handrail headstock 3, the entire lengths of the covering material holding portion 9 of the end forming member 5 and the core material 1 are set. The covering material 2 is covered so as to cover it. After that, the fixed tubular portion 15 of the end cap 7 is inserted from the end surface of the handrail shed 3, and the screw is screwed from the opening of the groove 9a of the end forming member 5 to attach the end cap 7. In this state, the handrail shed Since the abutting surface 4 formed on the 3 side abuts against the abutting surface of the inner wall of the end cap 7, the length of the moment arm with respect to the center becomes long, and the end cap 7 is prevented from shaking.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the description of the present embodiment, the same configurations as those of the above-described embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings and description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, the core material exposed portion 8 is formed at the end portion of the handrail headstock 3 by peeling off the covering material 2.

On the other hand, the end cap 7 is screwed to the core material 1 by fitting the fixed cylinder portion 15 into the hollow portion of the core material 1. A metal reinforcing rod 18 is fitted to the fixed tubular portion 15 in order to improve the fixing strength.

A core material fitting portion 19 is provided in the fitting cylinder portion 6 of the end cap 7, and the core material exposed portion 8 on the side of the handrail headstock 3 is fitted into the core material fitting portion 19. As a result, the end cap 7 is prevented from being scratched.

[0021]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the hard abutment surface is formed on the end face of the handrail headstock, and the abutment surface is abutted against the inner wall of the fitting tubular portion of the end cap. Since the force applied to the end cap is received not by the soft covering material but by the hard abutting surface, the fluctuation due to the deformation is prevented, and the moment arm against the fluctuation is lengthened, so that the end cap is reliably prevented from causing the fluctuation. can do.
