The pedestrian holding belt, which is fitted and attached to this ring, is wrapped around the waist of the pedestrian who is going up and down the floor to be restrained. When a pedestrian puts his / her hand on the rod-shaped body and goes up / down, the pedestrian can push the ring with the hand in a state of being perpendicular to the axis of the rod-shaped body and move it to go up / down. When a pedestrian loses balance due to insufficient sticking of the rod-shaped body or because of the instability of his / her feet, he / she loses balance and falls suddenly. Alternatively, the movement blocking member of the ring can be prevented from falling together with the ring on either side, and the pedestrian can be retained at that position.

Further, since the movement preventing member of the ring has the projections and depressions formed on the upper surface of the rod and the inner peripheral portion of the ring, when the pedestrian tries to fall as described above, the inner peripheral surface of the ring is reduced. By pulling the projection of the part downwards on the stairs, it engages with the uneven part of the rod-shaped body, it is possible to prevent the pedestrian from falling and hold the pedestrian at that position, and to prevent the fall more reliably. it can.

Further, in this stairs fall accident prevention device, the rod-shaped body is made of wood, or the surface portion is made of an elastic material, and the movement preventing member of the ring is made of a metal annular body at the inner peripheral portion of the ring. , It is possible to move smoothly in a state vertical to the axis of the rod-shaped body, and it does not hinder walking up and down stairs, and it can be moved by pushing it by hand. Then, when the pedestrian tries to fall as described above, the ring-shaped body at the inner periphery of the ring bites into the surface of the rod-shaped body, blocks the movement of the ring, and restrains the pedestrian there. It is possible to prevent falling.

【Example】

 A stair fall accident prevention apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the figure, 1 is a staircase, 2 is a handrail made of a rod-shaped body, 3 is a ring loosely fitted in the handrail 2, and 4 is a holding belt attached to the ring 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the holding belt 4 winds around the waist of the pedestrian 5 on the stairs 1 to fix the pedestrian 5 in a restrained manner. Further, the ring 3 has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the handrail 2 so that the hand of the pedestrian 5 can easily slide and move when the pedestrian 5 normally climbs and descends the stairs 1. ing.

The handrail 2 and the ring 3 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the handrail 2 is made of a rod-shaped body made of wood or metal, and has a predetermined height from the surface of the staircase 1. Is installed along the stairs 1 and is fixed to the wall adjacent to the stairs 1 or is erected on the stairs 1. Then, the unevenness 22 as shown in FIG. 3 is provided on the upper surface side of the rod-shaped body. The ring 3 has a main body made of wood or metal, and an annular projection 32 made of steel is embedded or integrally fixed to the inner peripheral portion. As described above, the rod-shaped unevenness 22 and the protrusion 32 of the ring 3 form a ring movement preventing member.

Further, a metal fitting 43 is attached to the body of the ring 3 as shown in the figure, and a connecting member 42 to the belt 4 for holding the pedestrian 5 is attached to the fitting 43. ing. The connecting member 42 is made of the same leather or fiber band material as the belt 4, and may be integrated with the belt 4 provided with a fastener, or may be a separate member to be connected to the belt 4. .

As shown in FIG. 2, such a stairs fall prevention device is effective when a pedestrian 5 goes up and down the stairs 1 and falls off the stairs 1 and is likely to fall due to a loss of walking balance. It works. Normally, when a pedestrian 5 with a holding belt 4 attached to his / her waist goes up and down while holding the handrail 2, the ring 3 pushed by the hand of the pedestrian 5 is smoothly moved on the handrail 2. , There is no obstacle to walking on the stairs 1.

When the pedestrian 5 is about to fall from the stairs 1, the holding belt 4 is suddenly pulled so that the ring 3 faces in the direction of gravity and the projection 32 at the inner peripheral portion of the ring 3 is railed. It engages with the irregularities 22 on the upper surface side of 2 to provide resistance so as to prevent movement of the ring 3 along the handrail 2. Thereby, the pedestrian 5 can be prevented from falling by these blocking members.

In the above embodiment, the rod-shaped body forming the handrail 2 is made of wood or metal. However, the core of the rod-shaped body is made of these wood or metal material, and the surface portion is made of elastic material. Even if the ring 3 is provided with an annular metal projection on the inner peripheral portion as in the above embodiment, when the pedestrian 5 falls, the metal projection bites into the surface portion made of the elastic material of the rod-shaped body. This may prevent the ring 3 from slipping.
