Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to an indoor handrail that can be erected by simply inserting the upper and lower ends of a pole that is temporarily installed between the lintel and the alcove of a room into cap brackets that are attached to the sides of the lintel and fixed to the floor, and by installing multiple poles at corners of a room and in the middle of the lintel, it helps the elderly, disabled people and small children to move around the room safely and stand up and sit down in the room, and also allows the pole to be easily removed by simply moving the safety tube attached to the cap up and down when the handrail becomes a temporary obstacle. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, there were handrails installed on pillars at the corners of rooms and from the ceiling to the floor. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] This has resulted in the following problems: (i) As people get older, it is reassuring to have a handrail nearby that is easy to grip when opening and closing sliding doors, moving around, standing up, and sitting down. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The lintel fixing cap bracket has a base with a claw that is inserted into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to receive the upper end of a strong, easy-to-grip tension pole that is installed between the lintel, floor, and tatami mat, and the floor fixing cap bracket has a base with a claw that is inserted into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to receive the lower end of the pole. The protruding part of the lintel cap bracket base is struck with a hammer or the like to drive the claw part into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to fix it. The claw part of the floor cap bracket is folded over the threshold and inserted into the gap in the floor to fix it. The lower end of the pole is placed into the floor bracket and safety tubes for the upper and lower poles are inserted into the pole. The pole, which has a length slightly longer than the lintel height, is fitted into the lintel cap bracket while being held down. The pole's safety tubes are inserted into the upper and lower cap brackets to prevent the pole from coming off the cap. Multiple lintel cap brackets and floor cap brackets can be easily installed in room corners, halfway between the lintel, etc. to safely assist the elderly, disabled people, and young children in moving and standing up and sitting down. If you want to temporarily remove the pole, you can do so by simply removing the safety tube and pushing the pole down. This is an indoor safety auxiliary handrail with the above features. [Effects of the Invention]
[0005] The pole handrail can be erected simply by inserting the upper and lower ends of a pole temporarily installed between the lintel and alcove of a room into cap brackets attached to the sides of the lintel and into cap brackets fixed to the floor, and by installing multiple poles between corners of a room and between lintels, the elderly, disabled people and small children can move around the room safely and stand up or sit down in the room. Also, if the handrail becomes a temporary obstacle, the pole can be easily removed by simply moving the safety tube attached to the cap up or down, making this an indoor safety auxiliary handrail.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The lintel fixing cap bracket has a base with a claw that is inserted into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to receive the upper end of a strong, easy-to-grip tension pole that is installed between the lintel, floor, and tatami mat, and the floor fixing cap bracket has a base with a claw that is inserted into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to receive the lower end of the pole. The protruding part of the lintel cap bracket base is struck with a hammer or the like to drive the claw part into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to fix it. The claw part of the floor cap bracket is folded over the threshold and inserted into the gap in the floor to fix it. The lower end of the pole is placed into the floor bracket and safety tubes for the upper and lower poles are inserted into the pole. The pole, which has a length slightly longer than the lintel height, is fitted into the lintel cap bracket while being held down. The pole's safety tubes are inserted into the upper and lower cap brackets to prevent the pole from coming off the cap. Multiple lintel cap brackets and floor cap brackets can be easily installed in room corners, halfway between the lintel, etc. to safely assist the elderly, disabled people, and young children in moving and standing up and sitting down. If you want to temporarily remove the pole, you can do so by simply removing the safety tube and pushing the pole down. The present invention has the above-described configuration. When using this, the protrusion on the lintel fixing cap bracket base is struck with a hammer or the like, the claw part is driven into the gap between the lintel and the nageshi to fix it, and the claw part of the floor cap bracket is inserted into the gap between the threshold and the tatami floor to fix it, and the pole can be prevented from coming off via the safety tube. By using inexpensive tension poles available on the market, you can install an indoor safety auxiliary handrail simply by inserting and securing multiple cap brackets into the room.

Claims
[Claim 1] A lintel fixing cap bracket with a base with claws is inserted into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to receive the upper end of a strong, easy-to-grip tension pole that is installed between the lintel, floor, and tatami mats. A floor fixing cap bracket with a base with claws is installed on the top and bottom to receive the lower end of the pole. The protrusion on the lintel cap bracket base is struck with a hammer, etc., and the claw part is driven into the gap between the lintel and nageshi to secure it. The claw part of the floor cap bracket is folded over the threshold, and inserted into the gap in the floor to secure it. The lower end of the pole is inserted into the floor bracket, and safety tubes for the upper and lower poles are inserted into the pole. The pole, whose length is slightly longer than the height of the lintel, is fitted into the lintel cap bracket while being held down, and the pole's safety tube is inserted into the upper and lower cap brackets to prevent the pole from coming off the cap.Multiple lintel cap brackets and floor cap brackets can be easily installed in the corners of a room, in the middle of the lintel, etc. to safely assist the elderly, disabled people and young children in moving and standing up and sitting down, and this indoor safety auxiliary handrail is characterized by its structure, which allows the pole to be removed temporarily by simply removing the safety tube and pushing the pole down.
