Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a handrail rod from becoming an obstacle to transit at a narrow corridor by rotatably (foldably) fitting both ends of a U-shaped handrail bar via fitting substrates, and folding the handrail bar at the fitting substrate sections when unnecessary. SOLUTION: A latch mechanism 14 is provided on at least one of fitting substrates 11, 12, and a handrail bar 13 is fitted rotatably (foldably) at the substrate sections 11, 12. The spring-excited coupling pin of the latch mechanism 14 is inserted into a coupling hole, and the folded handrail bar 13 is prevented from being automatically separated from a wall face when not in use. The handrail bar 13 is not largely protruded from the wall face, and it becomes no obstacle to transit at a narrow corridor or a staircase. When a handrail is required, the handrail bar 13 is rotated by about 90 and protruded from the wall face, and it is automatically fixed by the latch mechanism 14 and a stopper. An old person or a limb-handicapped person can safely walk while taking a grip on the handrail.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, two or more mounting bases are fixed to a wall or the like. Then, a handrail bar is passed between the mounting bases so as to be rotatable. When not using a safety handrail, keep the handrail closest to the wall.
Thus, when not in use, the handrail does not protrude greatly from the wall surface, so that it does not become an obstacle even in a narrow corridor, stairs, or the like. When using a safety handrail, rotate the handrail bar approximately 90 ° so that the handrail bar is at the most protruding position from the wall. When it comes to this position, the handrail is automatically locked in that position by the latch mechanism. Thereby, a pedestrian with a disabled leg can hold the safety handrail and walk safely.

In general, in a corridor, a stairway, etc., the safety handrail is attached parallel to the floor, but in a toilet or a bathroom, for example, it may be attached vertically or diagonally. In the case of mounting vertically, it can be rotated in an appropriate direction according to the surrounding situation when not in use. However, when mounting diagonally or horizontally, users generally rely on safety handrails by applying weight from top to bottom. Therefore, it is desirable that the handrail bar is not rotated below the use position by a stopper or the like, separately from the latch mechanism. Therefore, in this case, the handrail bar is flipped up when not in use, and is rotated downward when used. Further, it is not necessary to fix the handrail bar in the non-use position where the handrail bar is flipped up, and it is desirable that the handrail bar be immediately lowered when needed. Therefore, the latch mechanism does not fix the handrail bar at the flipped-up position, but fixes it at the lowered use position.

In order to prevent the safety handrail from further hindering in the non-use position, if possible, a concave portion is provided in the wall surface of the mounting base and the handrail bar in a flipped up state, and these do not protrude from the wall surface. It is desirable to do so.

The safety handrail according to the present invention does not protrude from the wall surface when unnecessary, and does not hinder traffic even when installed in a narrow place. On the other hand, if you need a safe handrail, just rotate the handrail bar and bring it to the use position,
The railing bar is automatically fixed by the latch mechanism, and elderly people and persons with physical disabilities can walk or the like by relying on the safety railing.

The safety handrail of the present embodiment includes two mounting bases 11 and 12 and a handrail bar 13. The mounting bases 11 and 12 are mounted on a wall surface, and in many cases, are mounted parallel to a corridor or stairs, but may be mounted vertically or obliquely depending on the purpose of use, such as a toilet or a bathroom.

The handrail bar 13 is composed of a grip 13a that can be gripped by a user and mounting portions 13b and 13c that are bent substantially vertically from both ends of the grip 13a. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mounting portions 13b and 13c are rotatably mounted on the mounting bases 11 and 12, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, a latch mechanism 14 is provided on one mounting base 11. The latch mechanism 14 includes an engaging pin 15 provided on the mounting base 11 side and an engaging hole 16 provided on the mounting portion 13b side of the handrail bar 13 corresponding to the engaging pin. The engagement pin 15 is urged by a spring 17 so as to protrude toward the mounting portion 13b, and a knob 18 for pulling the engagement pin 15 is provided. Engagement hole 1 on mounting part 13b side
Reference numeral 6 is provided at a position where the handrail bar 13 is fixed in a state where the grip portion 13a projects most from the wall surface (used state) as shown in FIG. 1C.

In some situations, as shown in FIG. 1D, the grip 13a is closest to the wall (non-use state).
However, another engaging hole 16b may be provided so as to fix the handrail bar 13 (FIG. 2B). However, in general, a handrail bar 1 is used when not in use so that a person who needs a safety handrail can use it immediately when he / she wants to use it.
It is desirable not to fix 3. However, in the case where the structure is not fixed in the non-use state as described above, in order to prevent the handrail bar 13 from moving unstably in the non-use state, the distance between the mounting portions 13b and 13c and the mounting bases 11 and 12 is reduced. It is preferable that a nonwoven fabric, rubber, plastic, or the like be sandwiched between the two so that a light frictional force acts between the two.
