Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bathtub handrail.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, a handle (4A) has a handle (4A) with a handle (3A) erected on one side and a bolt 杆 (5A) with a clamp plate (6A) attached to the tip on the other side. ) And a bathtub handrail (1A) provided with a substantially U-shaped auxiliary handle (7A) on the other side is provided (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-189339).
The auxiliary handle (7A) includes a vertical gripping portion (71A) and mounting arms (72A) extending substantially horizontally from both ends thereof.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional auxiliary handle (7A), since the grip portion (71A) has a linear shape, when the user grasps the auxiliary handle (7A) to stand up from the bathtub, There was a problem that it was slippery rather than a shape that could support the hand.
Also, since the gripping part (71A) is vertical, the auxiliary handle (7A) is difficult to grip depending on the posture of the user's upper body or the angle when the hand is extended to the auxiliary handle (7A). There was also a problem that it could not enter.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, as a means for solving the above conventional problems, a handle (3) is erected from one side of a U-shaped frame (2), and a bolt 杆 (5) is screwed to the other side. Bolt 杆 (5) Attach the clamping plate (6) to the tip, and attach it to the bathtub upper edge by clamping the bathtub upper edge with the side of the U-shaped frame (2) and the clamping plate (6) Bathtub handrail (1), which is an auxiliary handle (7) curved downward in a semicircular arc shape or C-shape that is concave with respect to the grip side from the upper edge of the other side surface. (1) is provided.
[0005]
[Action]
When the user grips the auxiliary handle (7) trying to stand up from the bathtub, the upper and lower sides of the gripped hand are curved into a semicircular arc shape or C-shape that is concave with respect to the side of the auxiliary handle (7) Because it has a shape, it is supported stably without slipping the gripped hand, it becomes easier to enter force.
In addition, since the auxiliary handle (7) is curved in a semicircular arc shape or C-shape that is concave with respect to the gripping side, it is not dependent on the posture of the user's upper body or the auxiliary handle (7) Regardless of the angle when the arm is extended, the auxiliary handle (7) can be easily grasped and force can be applied.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. As shown in Fig. 1, a bent U-shaped handle (3) is erected from one side of the U-shaped frame (2) of the bathtub handrail (1), and a handle (4) is attached to the other side. A bolt 杆 (5) is screwed to the handle (4), and a clamping plate (6) is attached to the bolt 杆 (5). Further, a curved auxiliary handle (7) is attached to the other side surface.
[0007]
As shown in FIG. 2, the auxiliary handle (7) is screwed to the U-shaped frame (2) by a screw (8). In this embodiment, the auxiliary handle (7) has a semicircular arc shape, and the inner shape of the auxiliary handle (7) has a corrugated shape so as to fit the shape of the user's hand.
Further, a protective cover (9, 10) is wound around the handle (3) and the auxiliary handle (7) to prevent the user from slipping when gripped. ) Is an elastomer such as SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer) or SEPS (styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer). In the present embodiment, the color of the protective cover (9, 10) is, for example, a long wavelength color such as red so that even a person with cataract can easily recognize it.
[0008]
As shown in FIG. 3, the handle (4) is rotatably attached to the other side of the U-shaped frame (2) via a screw sleeve (11), and a bolt is placed in the screw sleeve (11).杆 (5) is screwed, and a clamping plate (6) is fixedly attached to the tip of the bolt 杆 (5). Further, rubber plates (12, 13) having cushioning properties are respectively attached to one side surface of the U-shaped frame (2) and the inner side surface of the clamping plate (6).
[0009]
When the handle (4) is rotated, the screw sleeve (11) is rotated with the rotation of the handle (4). At this time, the bolt 杆 (5) tries to rotate as the screw sleeve (11) rotates, but the upper edge of the clamping plate (6) fixedly attached to the tip of the bolt 杆 (5) The bolt 杆 (5) and the clamping plate (6) cannot rotate because they abut against the frame (2). Therefore, the screw sleeve (11) rotates with respect to the bolt 杆 (5), and the bolt 杆 (5) slides in the screw sleeve (11). In this way, the position of the clamping plate (6) can be adjusted by rotating the handle (4).
[0010]
When installing the bathtub handrail (1) on the upper edge of the bathtub, place the bathtub handrail (1) on the bathtub so that one side of the bathtub handrail (1) faces the outside of the bathtub (the other side faces the inside of the bathtub). Place on the edge, rotate the handle (4) as described above to adjust the position of the clamping plate (6), and the side of the U-shaped frame (2) and the clamping plate (6) Hold the upper edge of the bathtub.
In this case, the rubber plates (12, 13) with cushioning properties are attached to the side of the U-shaped frame (2) and the clamping plate (6), so the bathtub is not attached when the bathtub handrail (1) is installed. Prevents damage and prevents the bathtub handrail (1) from shifting and becoming unstable.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 2, the auxiliary handle (7) has a semicircular arc shape and is curved, and the inner shape of the auxiliary handle (7) has a corrugated shape so as to fit the shape of the user's hand. Therefore, when the user grasps the auxiliary handle (7) to stand up from the bathtub, it has a semicircular arc shape that is curved above and below the grasped hand, so that the grasped hand does not slip and is stable. It is supported and it becomes easy to enter force.
Further, since the auxiliary handle (7) has a semicircular arc shape and is curved, the auxiliary handle (7) does not depend on the posture of the user's upper body or on the angle when the hand is extended to the auxiliary handle (7). The handle (7) can be gripped easily and force can be applied.
Furthermore, since the auxiliary handle (7) is screwed to the other side of the U-shaped frame (2) by a screw (8), it can be easily detached by removing the screw (8). The mounting position of the auxiliary handle (7) can be changed according to the left and right.
[0012]
Other than this embodiment, the auxiliary handle (7) attached to the other side of the U-shaped frame (2) of the bathtub handrail (1) may be C-shaped (see FIG. 4).
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, when the user grasps the auxiliary handle in order to stand up from the bathtub, the grasped hand is stably supported without slipping and the force is easily applied. Also, the auxiliary handle can be easily grasped regardless of the posture of the user's upper body or the angle when the hand is extended to the auxiliary handle.
