Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of public facilities technology, and in particular relates to a railing with attached seating. Background Technology

[0002] Existing road railings are mostly used for isolation and protection. In narrow areas, such as riverside walkways, space constraints prevent the installation of individual seats, making it inconvenient for pedestrians to rest.

[0003] Existing technologies involve adding fixed seats at the bottom of railings, but these have drawbacks such as space occupation and inability to be stored. Folding seats, on the other hand, have complex structures and are easily affected by environmental conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a railing seat that is compact, flexible in operation, and adaptable to confined spaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a railing with an attached seat, which solves the problems of not being able to install independent seats in narrow sections of road and the limited functionality of existing railings.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A railing with an attached seat includes a railing body, a rotatable seat, and a buckle fixing mechanism;

[0007] The rotatable stool is positioned at a preset height from the ground on the main body of the railing and is hinged to the main body of the railing via a pivot.

[0008] The buckle fixing mechanism is symmetrically arranged on the railing grid on both sides of the rotatable stool. The rotatable stool has protruding points on both sides of its edge, which are used to cooperate with one end of the buckle fixing mechanism to lock the rotatable stool.

[0009] Furthermore,

[0010] The main body of the railing is 1.2m high and is made of stainless steel plate grid with a thickness of 5mm and a width of 120mm, with a grid gap of 100mm.

[0011] Furthermore,

[0012] The rotatable stool is installed 0.45m above the ground on the main body of the railing and is hinged to the main body of the railing via a pivot. The width of the stool surface is 400mm.

[0013] Furthermore,

[0014] The buckle fixing mechanism includes: a long rod, a short rod, and a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the railing grille. One end of the short rod is movably connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the short rod is fixedly connected to one end of the long rod. The other end of the long rod is provided with a buckle for fixing to the protruding point on the edge of the rotatable stool.

[0015] Furthermore,

[0016] The seat of the rotatable stool has a double-layer hollow structure, and the pivot has a built-in damping structure to automatically keep the stool in a vertical or horizontal state after rotation.

[0017] This utility model provides a railing with an attached seat. The railing is 1.2m high and uses a stainless steel grating structure with a thickness of 5mm and a width of 120mm, with 100mm gaps between the grates. A rotatable bench with a seat surface width of 400mm is installed at a height of 0.45m above the ground. When not in use, the bench rotates to a vertical position, forming an integral part of the railing. When in use, it is manually raised and secured to a horizontal position using buckles on both sides, at which point the main body of the railing can serve as a backrest. The railing adopts a modular design, with a standard section length of 0.9m. It is available in models with and without a bench, and can be installed using expansion bolts at pre-drilled mounting holes. The two types of modules can be continuously spliced ​​and freely combined for installation. This device is suitable for narrow sections, such as riverside walkways, providing temporary rest in limited spaces. It combines isolation with a user-friendly design, featuring a simple and durable structure and easy operation. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] This utility model embodiment provides a railing with an attached seat, as shown in Figures 1-9, including a railing body, a rotatable stool, and a buckle fixing mechanism; the railing body is 1.2m high and is made of stainless steel plate grid with a thickness of 5mm and a width of 120mm, with a grid gap of 100mm; the rotatable stool is set at the railing body 0.45m above the ground, and is hinged to the railing body through a pivot, with a stool surface width of 400mm;

[0030] The buckle fixing mechanism is symmetrically arranged on the railing grid on both sides of the stool. The rotating shaft at the connection between the buckle and the grid can rotate freely. By rotating the connection of the long and short rods, the protruding points on both sides of the stool are locked to lock the stool. The buckle fixing mechanism automatically returns to a vertical state when the stool is stored by gravity.

[0031] The main body of the railing is a standard modular design, with a single section length of 0.9m. It is divided into a type with a bench (A) and a type without a bench (B). The railing is installed using expansion bolts in the reserved installation holes, and the two types of modules are continuously spliced ​​together.

[0032] The seat has a smooth surface and a double-layer hollow structure. The rotating shaft has a built-in damping structure, which enables the seat to automatically maintain a vertical or horizontal state after rotation.

[0033] The buckle mechanism consists of two movable rods of different lengths and is designed for manual operation. The buckle is locked to the seat by manually rotating it and lifting the seat to release the lock. The seat will then automatically return to a vertical position.

[0034] The stainless steel grating is coated with an anti-rust coating with a thickness of not less than 1.5 mm.

[0035] Specifically,

[0036] The main body of the railing is welded from stainless steel grating, with a single section length of 0.9m. The type with bench (A) has a pivot installed at 0.45m above the ground for connecting a rotatable bench.

[0037] When you need to use the stool, manually lift the stool, then operate the buckles of the locking mechanism on both sides with both hands and rotate them to the protruding points on both sides of the stool. Use the connection of the long and short rods of the buckle to bend and lock the stool. At this time, the 400mm wide stool surface is in a horizontal use state and the load-bearing capacity is ≥150kg.

[0038] After use, manually lift the stool to separate the buckle from the raised fixing point. At this time, under the combined action of gravity and the built-in damping structure of the pivot, the stool will automatically and smoothly return to a vertical position. At the same time, the fixing buckle will also return to the vertical structure under its own weight, completing the entire storage process and ensuring the integrity and neatness of the railing's appearance.

[0039] Adjacent railing sections are directly spliced ​​together. During actual installation, Type A and Type B railing sections can be flexibly mixed and used according to the site space and functional requirements, and expansion bolts are used for installation and fixing at the reserved installation holes.

[0040] The railing with attached seat provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] 1. Space-saving: When the stool is stored vertically, it blends seamlessly with the railing, making it suitable for narrow spaces.

[0042] 2. Modular design: Standard sections can be freely combined to adapt to different scenario requirements.

[0043] 3. Easy to operate: The seat can be opened and closed with both hands. During operation, the control of the seat and buckle by both hands is more precise, which can better ensure the stability of the seat when locking and unlocking.

[0044] 4. The operation process is simple and convenient, improving the user experience.

[0045] 5. Durability: Made of stainless steel with a rust-proof coating of at least 1.5mm thickness, the railings can withstand harsh outdoor environments such as dampness, extending their service life.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
