Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a handrail, and more particularly to a handrail installed on a ship. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of maritime transportation, ships are no longer limited to cargo transport; they are also widely used for sightseeing, entertainment, and leisure activities. However, the environment on board is more challenging than on land, and the swaying of the ship often causes people to lose their balance, leading to falls and slips.

[0003] Therefore, ships typically install handrails on their decks, walkways, stairs, and wheelhouses to provide a reliable auxiliary balance device, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel. However, traditional handrails were formed by direct bending, which resulted in wrinkles on the surface and an uneven appearance. In addition, traditional handrails were not conducive to gripping, affecting the actual holding experience. Utility Model Content

[0025] To facilitate the description of the central ideas expressed in the above technical content, specific embodiments are given below. The various components of these embodiments are depicted to a scale, size, deformation, or displacement suitable for illustration, and are not drawn to scale with actual components; this is explained in advance.

[0026] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is not intended to limit the technical principles of this disclosure to the specific disclosed embodiments, but the scope of this disclosure is limited only by the scope of the claims and covers alternatives, modifications and equivalents.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this disclosure, a handrail 100 is provided, which can be installed in stairs, corridors and other scenarios.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the armrest 100 includes a grip body 10, two side seats 20, and two base seals 30.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the grip body 10 is long and narrow, designed for people to grasp and hold.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the gripping body 10 has two oppositely arranged first sides 11 and two oppositely arranged second sides 12. The two first sides 11 and the two second sides 12 are arranged along the axis L of the gripping body 10. Each first side 11 and each second side 12 is interconnected. The distance between each first side 11 is a first gap D1, and the distance between each second side 12 is a second gap D2, and the first gap D1 is smaller than the second gap D2. The ratio of the second gap D2 to the first gap D1 is between 2 and 4, for example: 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0, etc. Thus, the gripping body 10 presents a shape that is wider laterally and flatter vertically, which can better improve the user's gripping effect and has a special visual effect. It should be noted that whether the ratio of the second gap D2 to the first gap D1 is less than 2 or greater than 4, it will affect the user's gripping feel and cannot achieve a better gripping effect.

[0031] In some embodiments, a rounded corner 13 connects each first side 11 and each second side 12 of the grip body 10. The radius of each rounded corner 13 is between 3 mm and 5 mm, for example: 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8, and 5.0 mm. Therefore, when a user grips the grip body 10, there is less of a sharp, angular feel to the hand.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the two side seats 20 are respectively cast to form an insertion part 21, a connecting part 22, and a fixing part 23. Each insertion part 21 is welded to both ends of the grip body 10. In some embodiments, the insertion part 21 has an outwardly convex arc surface 211 and an inwardly concave arc surface 212; the outwardly convex arc surface 211 and the inwardly concave arc surface 212 are respectively located on opposite sides of the insertion part 21; and the connecting part 22 connects the insertion part 21 and the fixing part 23. In some embodiments, the connecting part 22 of each side seat 20 has a concave surface 221, which is connected to the outwardly convex arc surface 211, and the concave surface 221 is recessed towards the inside of the connecting part 22 to conform to the gripping posture of the human hand. It is worth noting that after each insertion part 21 is welded to the holding body 10, in order to make the connection surface between the holding body 10 and each insertion part 21 smoother, a grinding machine can be used to grind the connection surface to further improve the smoothness of the connection surface.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the two base seals 30 are welded to the fixing parts 23 of each side seat 20 to fix the base seals 30 to the side seat 20.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, each base seal 30 has a threaded hole 31. The handrail 100 also includes two threaded rods 40. One end of each threaded rod 40 is disposed in each threaded hole 31, and one end of each threaded rod 40 is welded to each base seal 30. In some embodiments, the handrail 100 also includes two threaded rods 40. One end of each threaded rod 40 is disposed in each base seal 30, and each threaded rod 40 and each base seal 30 are integrally formed.

[0035] In some embodiments, the threaded rod 40 has a first length D3 along its length direction. Each side seat 20 has a second length D4 along the length direction of the threaded rod 40. The ratio of the first length D3 to the second length D4 is between 0.4 and 0.8, for example: 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8. It should be noted that the first length D3 and the second length D4 can be adjusted according to actual usage, and the present disclosure is not limited to the stated values.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the armrest 100 further includes two buffer members 50. Each buffer member 50 is elastic and may also be non-slip and highly sealing to prevent water from accumulating under the base seal 30, thereby reducing the risk of rust on the side seat 20 and the base seal 30; the material of each buffer member 50 may be rubber, silicone, or other materials. Each buffer member 50 is disposed on the side of each base seal 30 away from each side seat 20. Further, each buffer member 50 has a through hole 51, and each threaded rod 40 passes through each through hole 51.

[0037] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, each threaded rod 40 passes through the through hole 51 of each buffer member 50 and the trim panel 210 of the ship 200, and one end of each threaded rod 40 away from each base seal 30 protrudes from the trim panel 210. Then, a fastener 60 is locked to each threaded rod 40 to fix the handrail 100 to the ship 200.

[0038] In some embodiments, the armrest 100 of this disclosure is equipped with a sealant. The sealant is disposed between the base seal 30 and the trim panel 210; the sealant can also be disposed between each buffer 50 and the trim panel 210. Therefore, this disclosure can further increase the sealing between the armrest 100 and the trim panel 210, preventing water from accumulating under the base seal 30 and reducing the risk of rust on the side seat 20 and the base seal 30; if the surface of the trim panel 210 is uneven, this disclosure can also overcome this problem through the sealant. Moreover, the sealant can be applied to a larger area of ​​the trim panel 210, so the sealing range of this disclosure is not limited to directly under the base seal 30. In addition, with the technical cooperation of the buffer 50 and the sealant, the buffer 50 of this disclosure can reduce the amount of sealant used and the construction time, and in this case, this disclosure can still achieve good anti-slip and sealing effects.

[0039] In some embodiments, both the gripping body 10 and each side seat 20 are hollow to reduce the amount of material used in manufacturing. Each side seat 20 has an insertion portion 21 with a insertion end 213; each insertion end 213 is inserted into both ends of the gripping body 10, and the surfaces between the gripping body 10 and each side seat 20 are flat surfaces. Furthermore, the insertion ends 213 of each insertion portion 21 are fully inserted into the opening of the gripping body 10.

[0040] In summary, this disclosure has at least the following technical features: 1. The connection between the grip body 10, side seat 20 and base seal 30 of this disclosure is a flat surface. As a result, the surface of the armrest 100 of this disclosure is relatively smooth, and the user feels more comfortable in actual use.

[0041] Second, in addition, this disclosure uses casting and welding to join the various objects, which firstly improves the bonding strength between the objects, thereby increasing the durability of the handrail 100. Secondly, it also avoids the problem of wrinkles forming on the surface of the handrail 100 during its manufacture.

[0042] Third, the design of the grip body 10 and the side seat 20 in this disclosure can improve the user's grip on the armrest 100. In addition, the grip body 10 is designed to be wider horizontally and flatter vertically, which not only has a unique appearance, but also further improves the user's grip.

[0043] The foregoing technical features do not preclude the existence of other features. Features that can be derived by a person of ordinary skill in the art from the description, claims, or drawings of this disclosure are also included in the features of this disclosure.

[0044] In summary, the embodiments described in this disclosure are merely for illustrating the technology of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent applications of this disclosure. All modifications or variations made without departing from the spirit of this disclosure are within the scope of protection intended by this disclosure.
