Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of application of the invention] The present invention relates to a Braille nameplate for an elevator for the physically handicapped.

[Background of the invention]

At the entrances and exits of elevators for people with physical disabilities, it is being considered to provide Braille nameplates such as ``Uni'' and ``Shita'' near the hall buttons to provide guidance when the elevator is called. Furthermore, as proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-99266, the operation panel inside the car is only provided with a Braille name plate for destination floor guidance on the destination button. On the other hand, when visually impaired people use elevators, they are often accompanied by an attendant, but they may also use elevators alone, such as the ones they are used to using. In Jin's case, there was a drawback that even if he got on the floor he was boarding on, or even if he got off the elevator after getting to his destination floor, he couldn't tell if it was the floor he was aiming for.

[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator for the physically handicapped that provides floor guidance by providing a Braille guide plate displaying the floor base of each floor in Braille at each floor entrance/exit.

[Summary of the invention]

A feature of the present invention is that a Braille nameplate displaying the floor base of each floor in Braille is provided on the three-sided frame of the entrance/exit of the hall, or on the wall, etc., so that the floor base of the floor to be boarded and alighted can be easily identified. .

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, a three-sided frame 1 is installed and fixed on a building wall 2 and provided at the landing entrance of each floor, and a landing button 3 is also embedded in the building wall 2 like the three-sided frame 1 and provided at the landing of each floor. The door 4 is also similar to the three-sided frame l and the landing button 3. The position indicator light 5 is built into the three-sided frame.

A Braille nameplate 6 indicating the floor base in Braille is installed on the three-sided frame 1 of each floor, and the Braille nameplate installed on the third floor reads "Third Floor".
Those installed on the 6th floor will be marked with "6th floor" in Braille. On the landing button 3, the direction of the button is displayed in Braille as "Uni" 7 "Sita" 8. The user presses the button in the direction of the destination floor to get on the elevator, and upon arrival at the destination floor, touches the Braille nameplate 6 displaying the floor base to confirm that it is the destination floor, and then exits the elevator. Furthermore, it is well known that the floor guide Braille nameplate 6 is provided near the landing button 3 or on the hall floor 8.

Conventionally, as shown in Figure 3, "Kue" 7, "Sita" 8 and Table 1 were written in Braille near the landing button 3.
Since it was common for visually impaired people to press the landing button 3 and get on the elevator to their destination floor, they would be able to board the elevator at the floor on the way to the destination floor. When it was time to get off the elevator, he would often make the mistake of getting off the elevator.

In some cases, guidance announcements are made inside the car, but due to the noise, people with hearing disabilities may not be able to hear the announcements, causing them to pass the train or get off the train early. In order to solve these problems, the present invention provides a Braille nameplate displaying the floor base on the three-sided frame or wall of the entrance/exit of each floor, so that when a visually impaired person uses the elevator, he/she can press the hall button 3 and get on the elevator. Enter the car, press the destination button on the in-car operation panel (not shown), and head to the destination floor. Upon arrival, three-sided frame 1
was established in

By touching the floor guide Braille name plate 6, there is an advantage that the user can confirm that the floor is the floor that he or she is aiming for.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the mistake of boarding the elevator or getting off the elevator early, and to use the elevator with peace of mind.
It can be used.
