Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present invention relates to a handrail. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Generally, parapets are erected at the peripheral parts such as balconies. A handrail panel is attached to the parapet, and a handrail is attached to the upper end surface of the handrail panel. For example, in Patent Document 1, a handrail is attached to the upper end surface of a handrail panel using a mounting bracket. By the way, since the handrail covers so as to engulf the upper end surface of the handrail panel, it is necessary to secure a certain depth. Therefore, when the building is viewed from the outside, the apparent dimension of the handrail of the balcony is thick, the thickness of the handrail is prominent, and it gives an impression of being heavier than necessary. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0003】 <00000's18>【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-13131 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a handrail that can give a slim and neat impression when viewed from the outside and has a high-class feeling. 【Means for Solving the Problems】 【0005】 The invention according to claim 1 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, [[ID=]46]]A handrail 100 provided at the upper end of a handrail panel 400 facing the outside, <00'00033>Comprising a handrail main body 1, The side edge portion 21 located on the outside of the handrail main body 1, An upper protruding edge portion 22 that is located on the upper side and protrudes to the outside, It comprises a lower edge portion 23 located below the upper protruding edge portion 22 and on the building side, The upper protruding edge portion 22 is In a side cross-sectional view, the light-reflecting surface 25 is located on the outermost side and extends vertically downward, The invention is characterized by comprising a diagonally downward-facing inclined surface 27 provided between the lower end of the light-reflecting surface 25 and the upper end 23a of the surface of the lower edge portion 23. 【0006】 According to the invention described in claim 1, the handrail body 1 comprises a side edge 21 located on the outdoor side of the handrail body 1, which includes an upper protruding edge 22 located above and projecting outwards, and a lower edge 23 located below the upper protruding edge 22 and on the building side. Furthermore, the upper protruding edge 22 includes a light-reflecting surface 25 located on the outdoor side in a side cross-sectional view and extending vertically downward, and an obliquely downward-facing inclined surface 27 provided between the lower end of the light-reflecting surface 25 and the upper end 23a of the surface of the lower edge 23. As a result, light is reflected by the light-reflecting surface 25, and the inclined surface 27 makes it difficult for light to hit the surface of the lower edge 23. Consequently, the difference in shadow between the light-reflecting surface 25 and the lower edge 23 makes the light-reflecting surface 25 clearly visible when the handrail 100 is viewed from outdoors. Therefore, when the light-emitting surface 25 is made thinner, the thin shape of the light-reflecting surface 25 is emphasized, giving a slim and neat impression, and resulting in a handrail 100 with a high-class feel. 【0007】 The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, in the handrail 100 described in claim 1, The upper protruding edge portion 22 is characterized in that, in a side cross-sectional view, it intersects with the light-reflecting surface 25, extends horizontally toward the building, and has a shaded surface 26 that connects to the indoor end of the inclined surface 27. 【0008】 According to the invention described in claim 2, the upper protruding edge portion 22 intersects with the light-reflecting surface 25 in a side cross-sectional view, extends horizontally toward the building, and has a shaded surface 26 that connects to the indoor end of the inclined surface 27. As a result, the shaded surface 26 is less exposed to light and is in shadow. Consequently, the difference in shadow between the light-reflecting surface 25 and the shaded surface 26 makes the light-reflecting surface 25 appear clearer, giving a slimmer and neater impression. Furthermore, by providing a shaded surface 26, it is possible to place fingers on the shaded surface 26, resulting in a better grip compared to when the shaded surface 26 is not provided. 【0009】 The invention described in claim 3 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the handrail described in claim 1 or claim 2, The lower edge portion 23 is characterized by having a surface treatment applied to suppress light reflection. 【0010】 According to the invention described in claim 3, the surface of the lower edge portion 23 is processed to suppress light reflection, so that light reflection is suppressed on the surface of the lower edge portion 23, and the difference in shadow between the light-reflecting surface 25 and the lower edge portion 23 becomes clearer. As a result, the light-reflecting surface 25 appears sharper, giving a slimmer and neater impression. 【0011】 The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figure 5, in the handrail 100 described in claim 1, The vertical dimension M1 of the light-reflecting surface 25 is shorter than the vertical dimension M2 of the surface of the lower edge portion 23. 【0012】 According to the invention described in claim 4, since the vertical dimension M1 of the light-reflecting surface 25 is shorter than the vertical dimension M2 of the surface of the lower edge portion 23, the light-reflecting surface 25 is made thinner, and the thin shape of the light-reflecting surface 25 is further emphasized. As a result, a slimmer and neater impression can be given. 【0013】 The invention described in claim 5 is, for example, as shown in Figure 5, in the handrail 100 described in claim 1, It is characterized in that the vertical dimension M1 of the light reflecting surface 25 is 6 millimeters or less. 【0014】 According to the invention described in claim 5, since the vertical dimension M1 of the light reflecting surface 25 is 6 millimeters or less, the vertical dimension of the light reflecting surface 25 becomes very small, and the tip of the handrail 100 can give a sharp impression. 【0015】 The invention described in claim 6 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, in the handrail 100 described in claim 1, A plurality of ribs 28, which are arranged vertically and are long along the length direction of the lower edge portion 23, are formed on the surface of the lower edge portion 23. 【0016】 According to the invention described in claim 6, since a plurality of ribs 28, which are arranged vertically and are long along the length direction of the lower edge portion 23, are formed on the surface of the lower edge portion 23, light is diffusely reflected by the plurality of ribs 28, and the surface of the lower edge portion 23 looks matte. Therefore, the thin shape of the light reflecting surface 25 is more emphasized. 【0017】 The invention described in claim 7 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the handrail 100 described in claim 1, On the building side of the lower edge portion 23, a holding portion 41 for holding the upper end portion of the handrail panel 400 is provided. 【0018】 According to the invention described in claim 7, since a holding portion 41 for holding the upper end portion of the handrail panel 400 is provided on the building side of the lower edge portion 23, the upper end portion of the handrail panel 400 is surely held by the holding portion 41. 【0019】 The invention described in claim 8 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the handrail 100 described in claim 2, It is characterized in that the depth dimension N1 of the shaded surface 26 is substantially equal to the wall thickness dimension N2 of the handrail body 1. 【0020】 According to the invention described in claim 8, since the depth dimension N1 of the shaded surface 26 is approximately equal to the wall thickness dimension N2 of the handrail main body 1, it has an excellent appearance and is also easy to manufacture. 【Advantages of the Invention】 【0021】 According to the present invention, when viewed from the outside, it can give a slim and neat impression, and can provide a handrail with a high-class feeling. 【Brief Description of the Drawings】 【0022】 [Figure 1] It is a side sectional view showing the state where the handrail is attached to the upper end portion of the handrail panel.

The features and technical effects of the embodiments will be understood from the following detailed description and the drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below. Since the drawings are provided for illustrative purposes only, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrations in the drawings. 【0024】 FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing the state where the handrail is attached to the upper end portion of the handrail panel. The handrail 100 is provided at the upper end of the handrail panel 400 facing the outdoors. The handrail panel 400 facing the outdoors is preferably, for example, a balcony handrail panel or a handrail panel on the exterior corridor of a detached house or apartment building. The following description will use the case where it is applied to a balcony handrail panel as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. 【0025】 As shown in Figure 1, a parapet or similar rising section 200 is erected around the outer perimeter of the building's balcony. A coping 210 is attached to the upper end of the rising section 200. The rising section 200 comprises a wall panel 201 and an exterior cladding 202. The exterior cladding 202 is attached to the front and back surfaces of the wall panel 201 via furring strips (not shown). In the following explanation, "front surface" refers to the side facing the outside, and "back surface" refers to the side facing the building. The wall panel 201 is constructed by assembling frame members into a rectangular shape and attaching facing materials made of plywood or the like to both sides of the frame. Reinforcing frame members are provided vertically and horizontally within the frame. 【0026】 The coping 210 is a long, metal piece. The coping 210 is attached to the upper ends of the wall panel 201 and the exterior cladding 202. The coping 210 comprises an upper surface 211, an inner piece 212, and an outer piece 213. The inner piece 212 is suspended downward from the building-side end of the upper surface 211. The outer piece 213 is suspended downward from the outdoor-side end of the upper surface 211. 【0027】 A column 300 is erected on the upper end surface of the wall panel 201 via a base plate 220. The base plate 220 is fixed to the upper end surface and inner side surface of the wall panel 201 with screws B3. Multiple columns 300 are erected at predetermined intervals along the width direction of the multiple wall panels 201. The width direction X of the wall panel 201 is the direction horizontal to the surface of the wall panel 201 and is perpendicular to the vertical direction (up and down direction) Y and the thickness direction (depth direction) Z of the wall panel 201. Furthermore, on the upper surface 211 of the coping 210, a handrail panel 400 is attached to the outdoor side of the column 300 via a mounting member 230. Multiple handrail panels 400 are attached along the width direction of the wall panel 201. 【0028】 The handrail panel 400 is erected upward from the upper surface 211 of the coping 210. Examples of handrail panels 400 include glass panels, resin panels, or wooden panels. In the following description, the case in which a glass panel 401 is used will be used as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A handrail 100 is attached to the upper end surface of the glass panel 401 and the column 300. 【0029】 [handrail] Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the area P enclosed by the dashed line in Figure 1. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the handrail as seen from the longitudinal end face. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the handrail as seen from the longitudinal side. The handrail 100 comprises a handrail body 1. Preferably, the handrail 100 is equipped with a column support member 5. Note that, due to drawing limitations, the handrail panel 400 is not shown in Figures 3 and 4. 【0030】 <Handrail body> Figure 5 is a side view of the handrail body as seen from the longitudinal end face. The handrail body 1 is elongated along the width direction of the handrail panel 400 (see Figure 1). The width direction X of the handrail panel 400 refers to the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction Y and the depth direction Z of the handrail panel 400 (see Figures 3 and 4). Furthermore, the handrail body 1 is attached so as to cover the upper end surface of the glass panel 401, which is the handrail panel 400, and the upper end surface of the column 300. The handrail body 1 includes a handrail panel mounting section 2 and a column mounting section 3. The handrail panel mounting section 2 is located on the outdoor side and is positioned at the upper end of the glass panel 401. The column mounting section 3 is located on the building side and is positioned at the upper end of the column 300. It is preferable that the handrail panel mounting section 2 and the column mounting section 3 are integrally formed. It is also preferable that the handrail panel mounting section 2 and the column mounting section 3 are made of aluminum. Furthermore, it is preferable that the handrail panel mounting section 2 and the column mounting section 3 are formed by extrusion molding. The upper surface 1a of the handrail body 1 slopes gently downward from the outdoor side towards the building side. This slope allows rainwater to flow along the upper surface 1a of the handrail body 1. In addition, the extension 32 of the column mounting section 3 and the lower edge 23 of the handrail panel mounting section 2, which will be described later, also function as drainage. This prevents rainwater from entering the inside of the handrail body 1. 【0031】 <Handrail panel mounting section> Of the handrail body 1, the side edge portion 21 located on the outdoor side of the handrail panel mounting portion 2 includes an upper protruding edge portion 22 and a lower side edge portion 23. The handrail panel mounting portion 2 also includes a downward extension portion 24. The upper protruding edge portion 22 is located above the side edge portion 21 and protrudes outwards. The lower side edge portion 23 is located below the upper protruding edge portion 22 and is located towards the building. In other words, the upper protruding edge portion 22 is formed to protrude outwards from the lower side edge portion 23. The downward extension portion 24 is positioned at a distance from the upper protruding edge portion 22 and the lower edge portion 23 toward the building. Furthermore, the downward extension portion 24 extends parallel to the lower edge portion 23 and vertically downward. Furthermore, a holding portion 41 is formed by the space created by the upper protruding edge portion 22, the lower edge portion 23, and the downward extension portion 24, which holds the upper end of the glass panel 401. The upper end of the glass panel 401 is held by the holding portion 41. 【0032】 (Upper protruding edge) The upper protruding edge portion 22 is provided with a light-reflecting surface 25 and an inclined surface 27. Preferably, the upper protruding edge portion 22 is also provided with a shaded surface 26. The light-reflecting surface 25 is the point on the upper protruding edge 22 that is closest to the outside when viewed in a side cross-section. The light-reflecting surface 25 extends vertically downward from the outer edge of the upper surface of the upper protruding edge 22. 【0033】 The shaded surface 26 is located at the lower end of the light-reflecting surface 25. In a side cross-sectional view, the shaded surface 26 intersects with the light-reflecting surface 25, extends horizontally toward the building, and is connected to the indoor end of the inclined surface 27. It is preferable that the shaded surface 26 and the light-reflecting surface 25 intersect approximately perpendicularly to each other. 【0034】 The inclined surface 27 is provided between the lower end of the light-reflecting surface 25 and the upper end 23a of the surface of the lower edge 23. In other words, the inclined surface 27 connects the indoor end 26a of the shaded surface 26 and the upper end 23a of the surface of the lower edge 23. The inclined surface 27 is inclined diagonally downward from the outdoor side toward the building side. 【0035】 (lower edge) The lower edge portion 23 extends vertically downward from the building-side end of the inclined surface 27. The surface of the lower edge portion 23 is treated to reduce light reflection. Processing methods to suppress light reflection include, for example, forming multiple ribs or irregularities on the surface of the lower edge portion 23, or attaching a material to prevent light reflection. It is preferable to form the multiple ribs or irregularities simultaneously during the extrusion molding of the handrail body 1, or to form them after extrusion molding by embossing or cutting tools. In particular, it is preferable from a manufacturing standpoint to form them simultaneously during the extrusion molding of the handrail body 1. Figure 5 shows a case in which multiple ribs 28 are formed as a light reflection processing. Multiple ribs 28 are formed on the surface of the lower edge 23, along the length of the lower edge 23. The length of the lower edge 23 refers to the X direction in Figure 4. Multiple ribs 28 are formed on the surface of the lower edge 23, arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction. Each rib 28 is curved so as to protrude from the surface of the lower edge 23. Furthermore, it is preferable that the ribs 28 are rounded (R-shaped). The vertical length H of each rib 28 is preferably about 1 mm (millimeter). 【0036】 The vertical dimension M1 of the light-reflecting surface 25 is preferably shorter than the vertical dimension M2 of the surface of the lower edge portion 23. The vertical dimension M1 of the light-reflecting surface 25 is preferably 6 mm or less from the viewpoint of the limit value in extrusion molding. The depth dimension N1 of the shaded surface 26 is preferably approximately equal to the thickness dimension N2 of the handrail body 1. In Figures 4 and 5, the depth dimension N1 of the shaded surface 26 refers to the Z direction. Specifically, the depth dimension N1 of the shaded surface 26 and the thickness dimension N2 of the handrail body 1 are preferably in the range of 1.2 to 1.5 mm, and more preferably 1.5 mm. 【0037】 Convex engaging portions 29 for holding the glass panel 410 are formed at mutually opposing positions on the lower edge portion 23 and the downward extension portion 24. 【0038】 <Column mounting section> Of the handrail body 1, the column mounting portion 3 is provided so as to straddle the upper ends of multiple columns 300 that are erected at predetermined intervals along the length direction. The side edge 31 of the column mounting portion 3, located on the building side, has an extension portion 32 that extends vertically downward. The column support member 5 (see Figure 2) is attached to the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3, and at a position on the outdoor side of the extension portion 32. 【0039】 <Column holding material> Figure 6 is a side view of the column support member as seen from its longitudinal end face. The column support member 5 is a long member that runs along the length of the handrail body 1. Like the handrail body 1, the column support member 5 is made of aluminum and is preferably formed by extrusion molding. Furthermore, it is preferable that the wall thickness dimension N3 of the column support member 5 is approximately equal to the wall thickness dimension N2 of the handrail body 1 described above. 【0040】 As shown in Figure 2, the side edge 51 of the column support member 5 located on the building side has a first extension 52 that extends vertically upward toward the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3. By positioning the column support member 5 on the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3, the first extension 52 of the column support member 5 and the extension 32 of the column mounting portion 3 engage with each other. Furthermore, the upper surface 5a of the column support member 5 has a plurality of contact portions 53 that extend vertically upward toward the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3 and abut against the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3. By positioning the column support member 5 on the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3, the contact portions 53 of the column support member 5 abut against the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3, thereby positioning the column support member 5 relative to the column mounting portion 3. The column support member 5 and the column mounting portion 3 are fixed together by multiple fasteners B1. Examples of fasteners B1 include screws and bolts. Specifically, it is preferable that screws or the like are inserted from the lower surface of the column support member 5 toward the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3 for fixing. 【0041】 Furthermore, the side edge portion 54 located on the outdoor side of the column support member 5 has a second extension portion 55 that extends vertically upward toward the column mounting portion 3. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, before the column support member 5 is fixed to the column mounting portion 3, it is fixed from the upper surface 5a of the column support member 5 to the upper end surface of the column 300 by a plurality of fastening materials B2. Examples of fastening materials B2 include screws and bolts. Specifically, it is preferable that screws or the like are inserted from the upper surface 5a of the column support member 5 toward the upper end surface of the column 300 for fixing. 【0042】 [How to install handrails] Next, I will explain how to install the handrails. As for the installation method of the handrail 100, first, as shown in Figure 2, the column support members 5 are placed across the upper ends of multiple columns 300. Next, as shown in Figure 3, the column support member 5 is fixed to the upper end of the column 300 by inserting the fastening material B2 from the upper surface 5a of the column support member 5 toward the upper end of the column 300. 【0043】 Next, as shown in Figure 2, the handrail body 1 is attached to the column support member 5. Specifically, the column mounting portion 3 is positioned above the column support member 5, and the handrail panel mounting portion 2 is positioned above the glass panel 410. Then, the column support member 5 and the column mounting portion 3 are fixed by inserting the fastening material B1 from the lower surface of the column support member 5 toward the lower surface 3a of the column mounting portion 3. In addition, the upper end of the glass panel 410 is positioned within the holding portion 41 of the handrail panel mounting portion 2. 【0044】 This embodiment provides the following excellent effects. The handrail 100 comprises a handrail body 1, and the side edge 21 located on the outdoor side of the handrail body 1 includes an upper projecting edge 22 located above and projecting outwards, and a lower edge 23 located below the upper projecting edge 22 and on the building side. Furthermore, the upper projecting edge 22 includes a light-reflecting surface 25 located on the outdoor side in a side cross-sectional view and extending vertically downward, and an obliquely downward-facing inclined surface 27 provided between the lower end of the light-reflecting surface 25 and the upper end 23a of the surface of the lower edge 23. As a result, light is reflected by the light-reflecting surface 25, and the inclined surface 27 makes it difficult for light to hit the surface of the lower edge 23. Consequently, the difference in shadow between the light-reflecting surface 25 and the lower edge 23 makes the light-reflecting surface 25 clearly visible when the handrail 100 is viewed from the outside. Therefore, when the light-emitting surface 25 is made thinner, the thin shape of the light-reflecting surface 25 is emphasized, giving a slim and neat impression, and resulting in a handrail 100 with a high-class feel. 【0045】 The upper protruding edge 22 intersects with the light-reflecting surface 25 in a side cross-sectional view, extends horizontally toward the building, and has a shaded surface 26 that connects to the indoor end of the inclined surface 27. As a result, the shaded surface 26 is less exposed to light and remains in shadow. Consequently, the difference in shadow between the light-reflecting surface 25 and the shaded surface 26 makes the light-reflecting surface 25 appear clearer, giving it a slimmer and neater appearance. Furthermore, by providing a shaded surface 26, it is possible to place fingers on the shaded surface 26, resulting in a better grip compared to when the shaded surface 26 is not provided. 【0046】 The surface of the lower edge 23 is treated to suppress light reflection, so that light reflection is suppressed on the surface of the lower edge 23, and the difference in shadow between the light-reflecting surface 25 and the lower edge 23 becomes clearer. As a result, the light-reflecting surface 25 appears sharper, giving a slimmer and cleaner impression. 【0047】 Since the vertical dimension M1 of the light-reflecting surface 25 is shorter than the vertical dimension M2 of the surface of the lower edge portion 23, the light-reflecting surface 25 is made thinner, and its thin shape is further emphasized. As a result, it can give a slimmer and neater impression. Since the vertical dimension M1 of the light-reflecting surface 25 is 6 millimeters or less, the vertical dimension of the light-reflecting surface 25 becomes very small, giving the handrail 100 a pointed and sharp impression. 【0048】 Multiple ribs 28 are formed on the surface of the lower edge 23, arranged vertically and extending along the length of the lower edge 23. As a result, light is diffusely reflected by the multiple ribs 28, giving the surface of the lower edge 23 a matte texture. This further emphasizes the thin profile of the light-reflecting surface 25. 【0049】 The upper protruding edge portion 22 has a sloping surface 27 that is angled downwards and connects the indoor end portion 26a of the shaded surface 26 and the upper end portion 23a on the surface of the lower edge portion 23. As a result, the sloping surface 27 makes it difficult for light to hit the surface of the lower edge portion 23. Therefore, the difference in shadow between the light-reflecting surface 25 and the lower edge portion 23 makes the light-reflecting surface 25 appear clearer, giving a slim and neat impression. 【0050】 Since the lower edge portion 23 on the building side is provided with a retaining portion 41 that holds the upper end of the handrail panel 400, the upper end of the handrail panel 400 is securely held by the retaining portion 41. Since the depth dimension N1 of the shaded surface 26 is approximately equal to the thickness dimension N2 of the handrail body 1, it has a superior appearance and is easy to manufacture. 【0051】 Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a growing demand for the realization of a decarbonized society through the promotion of carbon neutrality, which aims to achieve virtually zero carbon dioxide emissions, and for the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). In the construction industry, efforts are also being made to use wood in buildings to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Buildings that utilize the above-mentioned handrails can contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society through the promotion of carbon neutrality and the achievement of the SDGs by using wood-based materials. 【0052】 [Differentiation] The embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to those described above, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention. Modifications are described below. The following modifications may be combined as much as possible. Furthermore, in each of the following modifications, elements common to the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted or simplified. 【0053】 In the above embodiment, the handrail body 1 and the column support member 5 are made of aluminum, but they are not limited to aluminum and may be made of resin. Furthermore, these handrail body 1, handrail panel support member 4 and column support member 5 may be manufactured not only by extrusion molding but also by injection molding. 【0054】 In the above embodiment, the upper protruding edge portion 22 is configured to have a light-reflecting surface 25, an inclined surface 27, and a shaded surface 26. However, the upper protruding edge portion 22 may also be configured to have a light-reflecting surface 25 and a shaded surface 26, but without the shaded surface 26. That is, the lower end of the light-reflecting surface 25 and the upper end portion 23a on the surface of the lower edge portion 23 may be connected by the inclined surface 27 without the shaded surface 26.
