Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a grip structure.

Conventionally, for elderly people and people with physical disabilities, members called grip bars were installed in toilets, washrooms, bathrooms, etc. in medical facilities, welfare facilities, public facilities, or ordinary homes to keep their bodies in a stable state. However, since the grip bars used up until now only use bent metal pipes, they have the disadvantage that they feel cold and slippery when the user leans on them or grips them with their hands. was there.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve these drawbacks and provide a grip structure that has a good feel, is hard to slip, and has excellent durability. A grip body made of a metal pipe is integrally covered with a synthetic resin covering cylinder only in the middle part so that both ends are exposed, and the open end of the other member made of a metal pipe is Both ends of the grip body are tightly fitted, and the end face of the open end of the other member is brought into contact with the end face of the covered cylinder, and from the thickness of the covered cylinder, the The structure is such that only the remaining dimension after subtracting the wall thickness of the open end of the other member is exposed to the outside.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a grip body 2 made of a metal pipe of a predetermined length, both ends 3 in the longitudinal direction of the grip body 2,
This is a grip bar consisting of L-shaped metal members 4, 4 which are connected and fixed to 3, and can be installed at an appropriate position on a wall surface 5 of a toilet etc. for use by elderly people or people with physical disabilities. Intimidate them into offering.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a synthetic resin covered cylinder, which is integrally coated only at the middle portion of the outer peripheral surface of the grip body 2, excluding both ends 3, 3, so that both ends 3, 3 are exposed. ,for example,
It is formed into an integral cylindrical body by extrusion molding or other means using polyethylene resin, vinyl chloride resin, ABS resin, and many other synthetic resins, and the surface of the cylindrical body 6 has stripes in the longitudinal direction. A concave groove 7 is formed to form a grip portion 8.

The outer peripheral surface of the grip body 2 is processed with a hairline 9 in which polished marks are formed in the longitudinal direction in order to restrict the rotation of the cylinder 6, and the cylinder 6 is integrally covered with the grip body 2. do.

Furthermore, the end portions 3, 3 of the grip body 2 have a slightly smaller diameter than the grip body 2, and the open end portions 10, 10 of the other members 4, 4 have an inner diameter that is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the end portions 3, 3. It is press-fitted and connected.

At this time, the end edges 11, 11 of the grip main body 2 are rounded in the inner diameter direction to facilitate insertion into the other members 4, 4.

Then, the open ends 10, 10 of the other members 4, 4 are connected to the main body 13.
, 13, and has an inner diameter that is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the grip body 2, and is fitted onto both ends 3, 3 of the grip body 2, and the open end 10 of the other members 4, 4. , 10 end face 14
, 14 and the end surfaces 15, 15 of the covering cylinder 6, and from the wall thickness T of the covering cylinder 6, the wall thickness T2 of the open end 10.10 of the other members 4, 4 is calculated as follows: Only the remaining dimension t after subtraction is exposed to the outside (TI T2=t).

A connecting hole 16.1 is provided through the overlapping position of the end portions 3, 3 of the grip body 2 and the open end portions 10, 10 of the other member 4.4.
7 is connected and fixed to the grip main body 2 and other members 4, 4 via fasteners 18 such as rivets.

At this time, if adhesive is applied to the outer circumferential surfaces of both exposed ends 3, 3 of the grip body 2 and the grip body 2 and the other members 4.4 are tightly fitted, the grip bar 1 can be formed with the two parts more strongly connected. You can get it.

The case where the grip structure is applied to a part of the grip bar 1 has been described above as an example.

Further, the other end portions 19, 19 of the other members 4, 4 have outwardly protruding flanges 20, 20, and are provided with through holes 21, which are formed through the flanges 20, 20. Fasteners such as screws 22...
It can be attached to an appropriate position on the wall via...

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and the design can of course be changed without changing the gist of the invention. 4, the wall thickness T□ of the covering cylinder 6 is set to the same thickness as the wall thickness T2 of the open ends 10, 10 of the other members 4, 4. It is also possible to set the outer surface to a smooth state.

Furthermore, the grip portion 8 may be formed by integrally covering the grip body 2 with the covering cylinder 6 by means such as injection molding, or by heating and shrinking the covering cylinder 6 fitted onto the grip main body 2. Be free.

Note that it is also possible to interpose an adhesive between the grip body 2 and the covering cylinder 6 to make them more strongly integrated.

Note that the uneven pattern on the outer peripheral surface of the covering cylinder 6 can of course be modified in various ways as long as it does not slip easily when gripped by hand.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, it is also possible to vary the length, shape, etc. of the other members 4 and combine them in various ways depending on the use and purpose.

The present invention is suitable for facilities for the elderly and people with physical disabilities, and Figure 5 shows examples of its application to handrail frames for Japanese-style toilets, and Figures 6 and 7 show examples of its application to handrail frames for Western-style toilets. ing.

The present invention has effectively achieved the intended purpose with the configuration detailed above.

In particular, since the end surfaces 15, 15 of the synthetic resin coated cylinder 6 are brought into contact with the end surfaces 14, 14 of the open ends 10, 10 of the other members 4, 4, the grip portion 8 is prevented from shifting in the left-right direction. Moreover, since the entire thickness T1 of the covering cylinder 6 is not exposed, there is no risk of peeling and the durability is high.

Furthermore, since the grip portion 8 is covered with the integral covering cylinder 6, there is no risk of it peeling off from the joint, unlike when a belt-like object is wrapped around the grip body 2.

In addition, since the grip portion 8 is covered with the synthetic resin cylinder 6, it does not feel cold compared to conventional metal grips.
It also became easier to grip without slipping.

Furthermore, if you select from among the different lengths of the grip body 2 and use it for the grip bar 1, etc., you can easily create products with different installation lengths while keeping the other parts 4, 4 of the bent pipe the same. As a result, there is no need to change the jig for bending other members 4, which is very convenient.

In this way, it is a device that has great practical effects.
