Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1: A bedside handrail to assist elderly people in getting up, see reference Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a vertical sleeve 1, a horizontal sleeve 2, a U-shaped rod 4, a horizontal telescopic rod 3, a vertical telescopic rod 5, a retaining ball 8, and a first elastic element 9. The vertical sleeve 1 is symmetrically welded to the bottom of the U-shaped rod 4. The horizontal sleeve 2 is welded to the front of the vertical sleeve 1. The horizontal telescopic rod 3 is slidably arranged between the two horizontal sleeves 2. The vertical telescopic rod 5 is slidably arranged inside the vertical sleeve 1. Seven first retaining holes 6 are evenly spaced on the vertical sleeve 1. The upper part of the vertical telescopic rod 5 has a first sliding groove. 7. A retaining ball 8 is slidably disposed in the first groove 7. A first elastic element 9 is connected between the retaining ball 8 and the vertical telescopic rod 5. The retaining ball 8 is inserted into the adjacent first retaining hole 6. The groove also includes a retaining block 12 and a second elastic element 13. Six second retaining holes 10 are evenly spaced on the transverse sleeve 2. A second groove 11 is symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of the rear part of the transverse telescopic rod 3. A retaining block 12 is slidably disposed in the second groove 11. The retaining block 12 is inserted into the adjacent second retaining hole 10. A second elastic element 13 is connected between the retaining block 12 and the transverse telescopic rod 3.
[0023] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a first protective sleeve 19, which is fitted onto the upper part of the spiral rod 4.
[0024] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a second protective sleeve 20, with the front of the transverse telescopic rod 3 covered by the second protective sleeve 20.
[0025] When using this device, press the retaining ball 8 to retract it into the first sliding groove 7, compressing the first elastic element 9 and disengaging the retaining ball 8 from the first locking hole 6. Then pull the vertical telescopic rod 5, which can slide up and down within the vertical sleeve 1. After moving to the appropriate position, release the retaining ball 8, and the first elastic element 9 will rebound, causing the retaining ball 8 to engage with the corresponding first locking hole 6. This allows for flexible adjustment of the handrail height. Furthermore, by pulling the horizontal telescopic rod 3 outward, the second protective sleeve 20 is fitted onto the front of the horizontal telescopic rod 3 to prevent elderly people from colliding with hard objects. The metal rod enhances safety. The horizontal telescopic rod 3 slides horizontally within the horizontal sleeve 2. Through the cooperation of the locking block 12 and the second elastic element 13, the locking block 12 is embedded in the second locking hole 10 at different positions to adapt to different bed types and user needs. After adjusting to the appropriate length, the horizontal telescopic rod 3 and the horizontal sleeve 2 are inserted between the bed board and the mattress. The U-shaped rod 4 provides grip support to help the elderly get up with leverage. The first protective cover 19 is fitted on the upper part of the U-shaped rod 4 to provide a soft grip surface, increase comfort, and prevent hands from slipping or getting cold.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 4 As shown, it also includes connecting bolts 14 and support plates 15. A support plate 15 is provided between the rear parts of the two transverse sleeves 2. Connecting bolts 14 are threaded on the transverse sleeves 2. The support plate 15 is threadedly connected to the connecting bolts 14.
[0027] Before use, the support plate 15 is fixed to the rear of the two transverse sleeves 2 by connecting bolts 14 to enhance the stability of the overall structure and prevent the handrail from shaking or deforming during use. The connecting bolts 14 are threaded, which makes it easy to disassemble and adjust, and convenient to install and store.
[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a connecting plate 16, a nylon sealing cloth 17, and a storage bag 18. The connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected between the upper parts of the two vertical sleeves 1. A nylon sealing cloth 17 is provided between the connecting plate 16 and the U-shaped rod 4. A storage bag 18 is provided on the front side of the nylon sealing cloth 17.
[0029] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes rubber foot pads 21, and rubber foot pads 21 are provided at the bottom of the vertical telescopic rod 5.
[0030] When in use, the connecting plate 16 and the nylon cover 17 form a flexible barrier on the upper part of the vertical sleeve 1 to prevent items from falling and to enhance the aesthetics. The storage bag 18 is fixed to the front of the nylon cover 17 and can hold small items such as remote control and glasses for easy access by the elderly. The rubber foot pad 21 is set at the bottom of the vertical telescopic rod 5 to enhance the friction with the ground, prevent the handrail from slipping, and protect the floor from being scratched.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
