Description
本発明は、階段等の昇降方向に沿って設けられる手摺に関する。 The present invention relates to a handrail provided along an elevating direction such as stairs.
従来、階段やスロープ等を昇降する際の安全性を高めるために、昇降方向に沿って延在する手摺を設けることが行われてきた。 Conventionally, in order to increase safety when ascending and descending stairs and slopes, a handrail extending along the ascending / descending direction has been provided.
このような手摺の一例として、視覚障害者等が手の触覚を頼りに安全に階段を昇降することができるように、手摺本体から凸状に形成される突起体（指標体）を設けた、指標体付き手摺が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。この指標体付き手摺は、手摺本体の端部に近づくにつれて、指標体の間隔が徐々に狭まっていく間隔減少ゾーンを有し、使用者は手に触れる指標体の間隔を認識することで、手すりの端部に近づいていることを事前に察知することが可能とされている。 As an example of such a handrail, a visually-impaired person or the like provided a protrusion (index body) formed in a convex shape from the handrail body so that the staircase can be safely moved up and down depending on the sense of touch of the hand, A handrail with an index body has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). This handrail with index body has an interval decreasing zone in which the distance between the index bodies gradually decreases as it approaches the end of the handrail body, and the user recognizes the interval of the index body touching the hand, It is possible to detect in advance that the end of the vehicle is approaching.
しかしながら、特許文献１に記載の手摺においては、指標体が一定間隔に配置された中央領域では自分の現在位置を把握することができなかった。また、手摺に多数の指標体を設けなければならないため、製造の手間やコストがかさむという問題があった。 However, in the handrail described in Patent Document 1, the current position of the handrail cannot be grasped in the central area where the index bodies are arranged at regular intervals. In addition, since a large number of indicator bodies must be provided on the handrail, there is a problem in that manufacturing labor and cost increase.
また、指標体を別体として形成し手摺に固着した場合には、長期間の使用により指標体が脱落してしまう虞もあった。さらに、訪問客等の使い慣れていない人が使用する際には、手摺本体から突出する指標体に違和感を覚える虞もある。 In addition, when the index body is formed as a separate body and fixed to the handrail, the index body may fall off due to long-term use. Furthermore, when an unfamiliar person such as a visitor uses it, the index body protruding from the handrail main body may feel uncomfortable.
それゆえ本発明は、使用者が任意の昇降位置において自分の位置を把握することができるとともに、製造が容易で耐久性にも優れ、初めて使用する場合でも違和感なく使用することができる手摺を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention provides a handrail that allows the user to grasp his / her position at any lift position, is easy to manufacture and has excellent durability, and can be used without a sense of incompatibility even when used for the first time.

It is characterized by this.
また、本発明の手摺にあっては、前記延在方向の下方に向かうにつれて、横断面の断面積が徐々に大きくなることが好ましい。 Moreover, in the handrail of this invention, it is preferable that the cross-sectional area of a cross section becomes large gradually as it goes below the said extension direction.
また、本発明の手摺にあっては、前記横断面形状が、矩形における一つの角部を面取りした略五角形であり、
面取りした角部に形成される斜辺の長さが、前記延在方向の下方に向かうにつれて徐々に小さくなることが好ましい。
Further, in the handrail of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape is a substantially pentagon with one corner portion of a rectangle chamfered,
It is preferable that the length of the hypotenuse formed at the chamfered corner is gradually reduced as it goes downward in the extending direction.
また、本発明の手摺にあっては、前記手摺の下端近傍における前記横断面形状が略矩形であることが好ましい。 Moreover, in the handrail of this invention, it is preferable that the said cross-sectional shape in the lower end vicinity of the said handrail is a substantially rectangular shape.
本発明によれば、使用者が任意の昇降位置において自分の位置を把握することができるとともに、製造が容易で耐久性にも優れ、初めて使用する場合でも違和感なく使用することができる手摺を提供することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, there is provided a handrail that allows a user to grasp his / her position at any lift position, is easy to manufacture and has excellent durability, and can be used without a sense of incompatibility even when used for the first time.

The handrail 1 of the present embodiment is supported by a plurality of connectors 3 fixed to the left and right side walls of the
手摺１は、長尺の直方体である角材の、長手方向に延びる４辺のうちの１辺に面取りを施し、面取り部４としたものである。すなわち、手摺１の延在方向に垂直な横断面の断面形状は、図２（ａ）に示すように、矩形における１つの角部を面取りした略五角形となっている。なお、本実施形態の手摺１は、使用者が斜め上方から把持し易いように、上側、且つ、使用者側となる位置に面取り部４を設けている。 The handrail 1 is a chamfered portion 4 by chamfering one side of four sides extending in the longitudinal direction of a square bar which is a long rectangular parallelepiped. That is, the cross-sectional shape of the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the handrail 1 is a substantially pentagon with one corner of the rectangle chamfered, as shown in FIG. In addition, the handrail 1 of this embodiment is provided with the chamfered portion 4 at a position on the upper side and on the user side so that the user can easily grip the handrail 1 from above.
手摺１は、横断面形状が延在方向に沿って徐々に変化する構成を有し、具体的には、図２（ａ）に示す断面における斜辺の長さＬが、下方に向かうにつれて徐々に小さくなっており、その断面積は、下方に向かうにつれて徐々に大きくなっている。 The handrail 1 has a configuration in which the cross-sectional shape gradually changes along the extending direction. Specifically, the length L of the hypotenuse in the cross section shown in FIG. The cross-sectional area gradually decreases as it goes downward.

In addition, because the shape of the cross-sectional shape gradually changes along the extending direction, there are protrusions and recesses whose cross-sectional shape changes abruptly along the extending direction, and complicated processing is required In comparison, it can be easily manufactured. Further, unlike the case where another member is bonded by bonding or the like, there is no possibility that the bonded member is dropped. In addition, because the cross-sectional shape gradually changes along the extending direction, it is difficult to concentrate stress in one place when a load is applied, so it is possible to obtain excellent durability Become. As a result, it is possible to exhibit a function of improving safety during ascent / descent over a long period.
また、本実施形態の手摺１にあっては、不自然な突起がないため、訪問客等の使い慣れていない使用者が初めて使用する場合でも、違和感を覚えることなく使用することができる。さらに、横断面形状が徐々に変化する手摺１の微妙な形状の変化を感じることで、使用者は手の触覚を磨くことができ、健康の維持、増進の効果も期待できる。 Moreover, in the handrail 1 of this embodiment, since there is no unnatural protrusion, even if the user who is not familiar with visitors, such as a visitor, uses it for the first time, it can be used without feeling uncomfortable. Furthermore, the user can polish the sense of touch of the hand by feeling a subtle change in the shape of the handrail 1 whose cross-sectional shape gradually changes, and can also expect the effects of maintaining and improving health.
また、本実施形態の手摺１にあっては、下方に向かうにつれて断面積が徐々に大きくなる形状としたことにより、昇降の際に、手摺１を握る手が下方に滑り難くなり、しっかりと把持することができるので、昇降時の安全性をさらに高めることができる。このような効果は、握力の低下した高齢者等が使用する場合において特に有効である。 Moreover, in the handrail 1 of this embodiment, since it was made into the shape where a cross-sectional area becomes large gradually as it goes below, when raising / lowering, the hand which grasps the handrail 1 becomes difficult to slide down, and it grasps firmly Therefore, the safety during raising and lowering can be further enhanced. Such an effect is particularly effective when used by elderly people or the like who have reduced grip strength.
また、本実施形態の手摺１にあっては、角材の１辺に面取りを施した形状としたことにより、一般的に流通している木材を利用することができ、且つ、加工も容易であるため、製造コストを抑えることができる。また鋭利な角部が使用者側に現れないため安全性を高めることができる。 Moreover, in the handrail 1 of this embodiment, since it was set as the shape which gave the chamfer to one side of a square bar, the generally distribute | circulating wood can be utilized and a process is also easy. Therefore, manufacturing cost can be suppressed. Moreover, since sharp corners do not appear on the user side, safety can be improved.
なお、本実施形態の手摺１にあっては、その下端近傍において横断面形状が略矩形となる、すなわち、面取り部４が下端近傍で終端し、斜辺の長さＬがほぼ０になることが好ましい。このような構成とすることにより、階段を降りる際の終点となる手摺１の下端位置が把握し易くなり、階段２を降りる際の安全性をより高めることが可能となる。
In the handrail 1 of the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape is substantially rectangular in the vicinity of the lower end, that is, the chamfered portion 4 terminates in the vicinity of the lower end, and the length L of the hypotenuse becomes approximately zero. preferable. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes easier to grasp the lower end position of the handrail 1 that is the end point when going down the stairs, and the safety when going down the
