Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an auxiliary guard device installed on the handrail of a balcony, which can prevent infants and children from climbing over the handrail and falling, and can also be used as a clothesline. This invention relates to an auxiliary guard device for balcony handrails.

Generally, in order to prevent people from falling on a balcony, for example, the upper ends of each of the pillars erected at appropriate intervals on the outside edge of the balcony are connected with a Kasagi, and the lower part of each pillar is are connected by a lower chord member, and a large number of handrails are installed between the lower chord member and the upper chord member that connects the upper part of each support at the above-mentioned Kasagi or below this Kasagi. In addition to this, since these balcony handrails are often used to dry clothes, there is a problem in that the height of the capboard is low and there is a risk that infants and children may climb over such handrails and fall. Was.

The present invention was developed in response to these circumstances, and does not impair the secondary functions of balcony handrails, such as being used for drying clothes, but rather improves these functions while also improving the safety of small children. To provide an auxiliary guard device for a balcony handrail that can prevent accidents involving children and children from falling, has a simple structure, and can be installed at low cost on existing handrails.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2, the auxiliary guard device 4 of the present invention is shown attached to the upper part of the handrail 3 erected on the outer edge 2 of the balcony 1.

The balcony handrail 3 to which this embodiment is applied has pillars 6 erected at appropriate intervals on the outer edge 2 which is raised higher to form a drain 5 of the balcony 1, and pillars 6 of each pillar 6. A cap 7 that connects the upper ends to each other, an upper chord member 8 that connects the upper parts of each support 6 to each other below the cap 7, and each support 6
A large number of balustrades 1 are installed vertically between a lower chord member 9 that connects the lower parts of the upper chord members 8 to each other, and
It consists of 0.

The auxiliary guard device 4 of this embodiment includes a clothesline rod 11 formed of a lightweight and durable hollow rod made of synthetic resin or metal, and two arm rods having one end fixed to both ends of this clothesline rod 11. 19, 19, and two brackets 20, 2, each having a substantially U-shaped cross section, rotatably supporting the other end of the arm rod 19 via a shaft pin 21.
By fixing the bracket 20 to the upper end of the support column 6, it can be installed on an existing balcony handrail 3.
By making the lengths of these arm rods 19, 19 substantially equal, the clothes drying rod 11 is arranged parallel to the cap 7 of the balcony handrail 3 when installed on the balcony handrail 3.

On the other hand, as described above, the rotation range of the clothesline rod 11 which is rotatable around the shaft pin 21 is restricted by the arm rod 19.

That is, the clothesline rod 11 is the balcony handrail 3.
At a rising position above the Kasagi 7 and slightly outward from the shaft support position by the shaft pin 21 (the position indicated by the chain line in FIGS. 1 and 2),
One side edge 19a of the arm rod 19 comes into contact with the upper end of the support column 6 and stops at a position slightly tilted outward from the vertical position, and when the clothes-drying rod 11 is in a horizontal position inside the cap 7, the above-mentioned Other side edge 19 of arm rod 19
b comes into contact with the bottom part 20a of the bracket 20, which is formed into a substantially U-shaped cross-section, and is thereby stopped, so that the clothes-drying rod 11 fixed to the tip of each arm rod 19 can be attached to the inside of the Kasagi 7. Strategic horizontal position and Kasagi 7
It is designed so that it can be moved between a rising position approximately above the

Therefore, both side edges 19a and 19b of the arm rod 19
By providing a stopper function to the upper end of the pillar 6 of the balcony handrail 3 and the bottom part 20a of the bracket 20, when operating the clothesline rod 11, the clothesline rod 11 can be moved to both sides 19a of the arm rod 19, 19b is post 6 or bracket 2
0, and the clothesline rod 11 will stop at that position without any further operation, which not only simplifies the operation, but also simplifies the overall structure. It can be done.

In addition, in this embodiment, the clothesline rod 11
It is free to attach a locking device such as a hook to the connecting portion between the bracket 20 and the arm rod 19 so that the bracket 20 is fixed at a position above the cap 7.

As is clear from the above description, according to the auxiliary guard device for a balcony handrail according to the present invention, a clothes drying rod is provided at the top of the handrail, located above the handrail cap and extending approximately parallel to the handrail, and Even if he tried to lean out from above the Kasagi by putting his feet on the lower chord of the handrail or the outside edge of the balcony, his upper body would be bent inward by the clothesline rod, or his head would be stuck in the clothesline rod. This completely prevents the clothesline rod from climbing over the handrail and falling, and by moving the clothesline rod to a horizontal position where it projects almost horizontally toward the inside of the Kasagi, the clothesline rod can be easily removed. This auxiliary guard device can be easily installed by simply fixing the bracket to the top end of the pillar, so it can be easily installed on an existing balcony handrail. is possible, and the scope of its use can be expanded.

Moreover, since the clothesline rod is held in its horizontal or upright position using the arm rod and the upper end of the bracket or column, no special stopper member is required, simplifying the overall structure, and It can be manufactured at low cost.
