Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a handrail with built-in lighting. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, handrails installed in passageways and the like have lights built into the head rails where people can hold on, as shown in Patent Document 1. Such handrails eliminate the need for separate lighting fixtures, ensure safety by illuminating the feet of passersby, and also provide a dramatic effect through the illumination of light. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-249119 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The handrail in Patent Document 1 is one in which the lighting fixture irradiates light directly below (vertically downward), and no other configurations are envisioned. However, for example, when the handrail is installed next to a wall, it is desirable to have a lighting fixture that irradiates light toward the center of the passageway rather than directly below (to the wall), and there has been a demand for lighting fixtures that can irradiate light in a direction inclined from the vertical.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a handrail that has lighting built into the headboard, which can emit light in a direction inclined relative to the vertical. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention is a tubular capping and a lighting fixture that fits inside the capping, the capping being formed by engaging a cover material made of a shaped material with a batten material made of a shaped material and fastening the cover material with a fastening screw, the cover material having a cover outer shell portion that forms the outer shape of the capping and a support portion provided inside the cover outer shell portion, the support portion being: Extending inward from the outer shell of the cover A first surface portion and a second surface portion that are inclined toward each other, The first surface portion and the second surface portion have a generally dogleg shape in cross section, and the dogleg shape is convex toward the batten material, Said first surface part and Said second surface part Of these, the one that is tilted relative to the horizontal plane is a mounting surface portion on which the lighting fixture is attached, the first surface portion and / or the second surface portion is a cover fixing surface portion on which the fixing screw is screwed, the batten material has a batten fixing surface portion through which the fixing screw passes, and the cover fixing surface portion and the batten fixing surface portion are parallel. Here, the mounting surface portion, the cover fixing surface portion and the batten fixing surface portion are all surfaces that are part of the surface of each member, and may be flat or curved. The members themselves on which these surfaces are formed may have any shape. In addition, the cover fixing surface portion and the batten fixing surface portion being parallel means that a straight line is perpendicular to both surfaces, and the fixing screw is located on the straight line. In addition, in the support portion, the cover fixing surface portion and the mounting surface portion may be on the same side of the first surface portion and the second surface portion. In that case, the position where the fixing screw is screwed and the position where the lighting fixture is attached are shifted in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the batten fixing surface portion of the batten material may itself constitute the outer shape of the coping board, or may be provided inside the portion that constitutes the outer shape of the coping board.

[0008] In the present invention, the cover material may be such that the cover outer shell portion and the support portion are integrally formed.

[0009] In the present invention, the cover material may have a hollow portion surrounded by the cover outer shell portion and the support portion. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the support portion is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. I have The inclined side is the mounting surface. So The lighting fixture attached to this mounting surface portion can be tilted and can irradiate light in a direction tilted from the vertical. No separate parts are required to tilt the lighting fixture, making for a simple configuration. Also, since the mounting surface portion is provided on the cover material that constitutes the coping, the angle of inclination is consistent along the length of the coping, making it possible to align the light irradiation angle of the lighting fixture. Furthermore, either or both of the first surface portion and the second surface portion can be used as the cover fixing surface portion, and since the cover fixing surface portion and the batten fixing surface portion are parallel, the cover material and the batten material can be securely fixed by screwing or passing a fixing screw perpendicularly into or through both of them. Furthermore, since the support portion is made up of the first surface portion and the second surface portion and has a generally dogleg-shaped cross section, the structure is simpler.

[0012] Furthermore, if the cover outer shell portion and the support portion are formed integrally in the cover material, the structure will be simpler and the rigidity will be higher.

[0013] Furthermore, if the cover material has a hollow portion surrounded by the cover shell and the support, the rigidity of the cover material itself will be higher, and the rigidity of the support will also be higher. This allows the lighting fixture to be more stably fixed to the mounting surface. Furthermore, since the cover material and the batten material are fixed to the cover fixing surface of the support by screwing fixing screws, the batten material can be more stably fixed to the cover material.

[0015] The handrail of the present invention will be described in detail below. In the following, the front-rear direction is the direction in which the handrail is viewed, and the left-right direction is the direction in which the headboard of the handrail extends (the longitudinal direction of the headboard).

[0016] First, the overall configuration of the first embodiment of the handrail will be described. The first embodiment is installed in a passage along a wall surface to assist pedestrians, and is attached directly to the wall surface. In the first embodiment, the wall surface side is the rear side, and the handrail is attached to the front side of the wall surface. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first embodiment of the handrail includes a cylindrical head board 100, a lighting fixture 200 that fits inside the head board 100, and a bracket 6 for fixing the head board 100 to the wall surface W. The head board 100 extends linearly from side to side, and multiple lighting fixtures 200 are provided inside the head board 100 at intervals from side to side. Then, multiple brackets 6 are attached to the wall surface W at intervals from side to side, and the head board 100 is supported by these brackets 6. Below, each component of the first embodiment of the handrail will be described in more detail.

[0017] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the coping board 100 has a hollow structure with a generally circular cross section, and is made up of a cover material 1 located on the upper side and a batten material 3 located on the lower side, which are engaged with each other and fixed together with fixing screws S.

[0018] The cover material 1 is made of an aluminum extrusion material, and has a cover outer shell part 11 that forms the outer shape of the coping 100, and a plate-shaped first plate part 16a and a plate-shaped second plate part 17a provided inside the cover outer shell part 11, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The cover outer shell part 11 and the first plate part 16a and the second plate part 17a are integrally formed. Since a part of the surface of the first plate part 16a and the second plate part 17a is the support part 12, it can be said that the cover outer shell part 11 and the support part 12 are also integrally formed. More specifically, the cover outer shell part 11 has a circular arc shape that is symmetrical in the front and rear directions and has a central angle slightly larger than 180 degrees. The cover outer shell part 11 has engagement parts 18 that protrude inward at the front and rear lower ends. The inner side of the cover outer shell part 11 is formed with a first plate part 16a and a second plate part 17a, which are two flat plate-like parts inclined to each other. The lower surface of the first plate part 16a is the first surface part 16, and the lower surface of the second plate part 17a is the second surface part 17. The support part 12 has a substantially dogleg shape in cross section consisting of the first surface part 16 and the second surface part 17, and is located in the vertical center of the cover material 1. The first plate part 16a (first surface part 16) extends from the inner peripheral surface of the front part of the cover outer shell part 11 to a position slightly rearward of the center of the front-rear direction of the cover material 1 in a direction inclined at 17.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane on the rear lower side. The second plate part 17a (second surface part 17) extends from the rear end part of the first plate part 16a (first surface part 16) to the inner peripheral surface of the rear part of the cover outer shell part 11 toward the rear side (horizontal direction). The cover material 1 has a hollow portion 15 surrounded by an upper portion of the cover outer shell portion 11 and the support portion 12 (the first plate portion 16a and the second plate portion 17a).

[0019] The batten material 3 is made of an extruded aluminum material, and as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it has a batten outer shell part 31 that forms the outer shape of the coping board 100, and a plate-shaped batten fixing plate part 32a that also forms the outer shape of the coping board 100, and the batten outer shell part 31 and the batten fixing plate part 32a are integrally formed. Since a part of the surface of the batten fixing plate part 32a is the batten fixing surface part 32, it can be said that the batten outer shell part 31 and the batten fixing surface part 32 are also integrally formed. More specifically, the central part in the front-to-rear direction of the batten material 3 is the batten fixing plate part 32a, the front and rear both sides of the batten fixing plate part 32a are the batten outer shell part 31, and the lower surface of the batten fixing plate part 32a is the batten fixing surface part 32. The batten fixing plate part 32a is a flat plate inclined from the upper front side to the lower rear side, and the inclination angle with respect to the horizontal plane is 17.5 degrees. Therefore, the batten fixing surface portion 32 and the first surface portion 16 of the support portion 12 of the cover material 1 are parallel. At the front end of the batten fixing plate portion 32a, a step portion 33 is formed that protrudes downward in a direction perpendicular to the batten fixing plate portion 32a. The batten outer shell portion 31 extends from the lower end of the step portion 33 to the front upper side in the front part, and extends from the rear end of the batten fixing plate portion 32a to the rear upper side in the rear part, and has an arc shape concentric with the cover outer shell portion 11 of the cover material 1. At the front and rear upper ends of the batten outer shell portion 31, an engaged portion 34 with a cross section of a substantially L-shape is formed. The engaged portion 34 is shaped to protrude inward from the upper end of the batten outer shell portion 31 and bend to protrude upward.

[0020] The cover material 1 and batten material 3 thus constructed are combined so that the front and rear engaging portions 18 of the cover material 1 engage with the front and rear engaged portions 34 of the batten material 3 to form a coping 100. At this time, the vertical portions of the engaged portions 34 of the batten material 3 fit inside the engaging portions 18 of the cover material 1, and the cover outer shell portion 11 of the cover material 1 and the batten outer shell portion 31 of the batten material 3 form a series of circular arcs. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover material 1 and the batten material 3 are fixed by fixing screws S at multiple points in the longitudinal direction. At the fixed points, a through hole through which the fixing screw S passes is formed in the batten fixing surface portion 32 (batten fixing plate portion 32a) of the batten material 3, and a screw hole into which the fixing screw S is screwed is formed in the first surface portion 16 (first plate portion 16a) of the support portion 12 of the cover material 1. Thus, here, the first surface 16 of the support portion 12 serves as the cover fixing surface 13 into which the fixing screw S screws, and the cover fixing surface 13 and the batten fixing surface 32 are parallel. The fixing screw S is inserted into a through hole in the batten fixing surface 32 from the bottom (the batten material 3 side) and screws into a screw hole in the cover fixing surface 13 of the cover material 1. An end elbow 101 bent toward the wall surface W is attached to the end of the coping 100.

[0021] As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the lighting fixtures 200 are attached to a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of the head rail 100. The number of lighting fixtures 200 and the position in the longitudinal direction of the head rail 100 are not limited, but here, they are provided at the middle position between the two brackets 6. The lighting fixtures 200 are LEDs and other necessary circuits housed in a case, and the lower end is a light-emitting part, and a flat mounting plate 201 extending to the left and right is attached to the upper end. A power supply cable is connected to the lighting fixtures 200, but is not shown in the figure. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, the mounting plate 201 is attached to the first surface 16 of the support 12 from below by screwing. Therefore, here, the first surface 16 of the support 12 is the mounting surface 14 to which the lighting fixtures 200 are attached, and the mounting surface 14 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane.

[0022] A rectangular hole that is long from side to side is formed in the part of the batten material 3 facing the lighting fixture 200, and a transparent member 202 made of a transparent material is fitted into this hole. The transparent member 202 is a rectangular plate of a size that fits exactly into the hole, and its upper end extends forward and backward, and this extension engages with the edge of the hole. The light emitted from the lighting fixture 200 passes through the transparent member 202 to illuminate the outside.

[0023] It should be noted that the first surface 16 of the support part 12 is both the cover fixing surface 13 and the mounting surface 14. As shown in Fig. 3, the position where the fixing screw S is screwed into as the cover fixing surface 13 and the position where the lighting device 200 is attached as the mounting surface 14 are shifted in the longitudinal direction.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 4, the bracket 6 is composed of a base 61 fixed to the wall W, an arm 62 extending from the upper end of the front surface of the base 61 toward the upper front side and then bending midway to extend vertically upward, and a receiving portion 63 provided at the upper end of the arm 62. The receiving portion 63 is crescent-shaped with a downward convexity when viewed from the left and right direction, the center of the receiving portion 63 is shifted forward from the upper end of the arm 62, and the upper surface is an arc shape that coincides with the outer peripheral surface of the batten outer shell portion 31 of the batten material 3. The base 61 is fixed to a nut anchor 64 embedded in the wall W by bolting from the front side. The base 61 is covered with a cover 65 to hide the bolt. The coping 100 is placed on the receiving portion 63, and is fixed to the batten fixing surface portion 32 of the batten material 3 by screwing from the underside of the receiving portion 63.

[0025] 3, the batten material 3 is a separate member that is divided longitudinally into a portion that corresponds to the bracket 6 (a range slightly wider than the left-right width of the bracket 6) and the other portion, and each portion is fixed to the cover material 1 with fixing screws S. This makes it possible to remove only the batten material 3 between the two brackets 6 without removing the head board 100 itself from the bracket 6, facilitating maintenance of the lighting fixture 200.

[0026] A power supply cable C for supplying power to the lighting fixture 200 is connected to a power source through the wall W, and this power supply cable C extends from the wall W to the inside of the head rail 100. A power supply cover 300 is provided at this portion to cover and conceal the power supply cable C. As shown in Figs. 3 and 5 (where the batten material 3 and side member 303 are shown in transparent form), the power supply cover 300 has a hollow structure with approximately the same left-right width as the bracket 6, extending forward from the wall W, bending to extend upward toward the front, and further bending to extend upward. More specifically, the power supply cover 300 is made up of an upper member 301, a lower member 302, and left and right side members 303. The upper member 301 is made of an extruded aluminum material, and has a vertical base portion 311, an extension portion 312 that extends from the upper end of the base portion 311 to the front side, bends to extend to the front upper side, and further bends to extend to the upper side, and a connection portion 313 formed at the upper end of the extension portion 312. The upper end surface of the connection portion 313 is an inclined surface portion 314 that is inclined from the front upper side to the rear lower side, and the inclination angle of the inclined surface portion 314 with respect to the horizontal plane is 17.5 degrees. In addition, a convex portion 315 that protrudes outward is formed on the lower part of the front and rear ends of the inclined surface portion 314, and the lower side of the convex portion 315 is formed in a circular arc shape. A receiving portion 316 that protrudes inward is formed on the lower end of the base portion 311 and the lower part of the front convex portion 315. The lower member 302 is made of an aluminum extruded member, and extends forward from the lower end of the base portion 311 of the upper member 301, bends to extend forward and upward, and then bends again to extend upward to the connection portion 313 of the upper member 301. Triangular claw portions 321 that protrude toward the receiving portion 316 of the upper member 301 are formed on the rear end and the upper end of the lower member 302, and engage with the receiving portion 316. The side member 303 is flat and shaped to close the space surrounded by the upper member 301 and the lower member 302, and is screwed to the upper member 301 and the lower member 302 from the left and right. The base portion 311 of the upper member 301 is screwed to the wall surface W via a disk-shaped plate 304. Furthermore, no batten material 3 is present at the position of the head board 100 corresponding to the power supply cover 300, and the inclined surface portion 314 of the connection portion 313 of the upper member 301 abuts against the first surface portion 16 of the cover material 1 and is screwed in place.Furthermore, the front and rear lower ends of the cover outer shell part 11 of the cover material 1 abut against the protrusion 315 of the connection part 313, and the cover outer shell part 11 and the lower arc-shaped part of the protrusion 315 form a continuous arc. A hole is formed in the base part 311, and the power supply cable C extends from the wall surface W through this hole, passing through the inside of the power supply cover 300, and into the inside of the head rail 100.

[0027] In addition, when the length of the coping 100 is equal to or longer than a predetermined length, the cover material 1 and the batten material 3 are connected. As shown in FIG. 6, in the connecting portion, a connecting material 7 is inserted into the coping 100, and a joint material 71 is attached to the outer periphery of the coping 100. The connecting material 7 is made of an aluminum hollow extruded material, and is shaped to fit exactly into the inner periphery of the coping 100. That is, the cross section is approximately rectangular, and the upper surface has an inclined surface portion 72 formed in the middle portion with the front side higher, and this inclined surface portion 72 abuts against the first surface portion 16 of the cover material 1, and the rear portion of the inclined surface portion 72 of the upper surface abuts against the second surface portion 17. Both the front and rear surfaces abut against the inner surface of the engaged portion 34 of the batten material 3. The lower surface has an inclined surface portion 73 formed in the front portion with the front side higher, and this inclined surface portion 73 abuts against the upper surface of the batten fixing plate portion 32a of the batten material 3 and is screwed. The lower rear corner is formed with an outwardly convex curved surface 74, which abuts against the inner surface of the batten outer shell portion 31 of the batten material 3. The joint material 71 is a cylindrical member into whose inner periphery the coping rail 100 fits perfectly, covering and concealing the connection between the cover material 1 and the batten material 3. The joint material 71 is screwed to the batten material 3 from below.

[0028] According to the first embodiment of the handrail of the present invention configured as described above, the support portion 12 has a simple configuration with a cross section of a generally dogleg shape consisting of the first surface portion 16 and the second surface portion 17. Of the first surface portion 16 and the second surface portion 17, the first surface portion 16 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. By using the first surface portion 16 as the mounting surface portion 14, the lighting fixture 200 attached to the mounting surface portion 14 is inclined and can irradiate light in a direction inclined with respect to the vertical direction. A separate member for tilting the lighting fixture 200 is not required, and a simple configuration can be achieved. In addition, when a separate member for tilting the lighting fixture 200 is used, depending on the processing accuracy and mounting accuracy of the member, the inclination angle of the lighting fixture 200 may be shifted at various points in the longitudinal direction of the head rail 100. Even if the shift is slight, the light irradiated to the floor surface away from the handrail will be significantly shifted, resulting in a poor appearance. In contrast, in the present invention, the mounting surface portion 14 is provided on the cover material 1 itself that constitutes the coping 100, so that the inclination angle is consistent throughout the longitudinal direction of the coping 100, and the light irradiation angle of the lighting fixture 200 can be made uniform, and the light irradiated onto the floor surface away from the handrail is also made uniform. Furthermore, since the cover fixing surface portion 13 and the batten fixing surface portion 32 are parallel, by screwing or passing the fixing screw S perpendicularly into the two planar surfaces, the male thread portion of the fixing screw S is securely screwed into the female thread portion of the cover fixing surface portion 13 (i.e., the female thread portion of the first plate portion 16a on which the cover fixing surface portion 13 is formed), and the entire surface of the head of the fixing screw S abuts against the batten fixing surface portion 32, so that the cover material 1 and the batten material 3 can be securely fixed. Furthermore, since the cover outer shell portion 11 and the support portion 12 are integrally formed in the cover material 1, the structure is simpler and has high rigidity. Furthermore, since the covering material 1 has a hollow portion 15 surrounded by the cover outer shell portion 11 and the supporting portion 12 (i.e., the hollow portion 15 surrounded by the cover outer shell portion 11 and the first plate portion 16a and the second plate portion 17a), the rigidity of the covering material 1 itself is increased, and the rigidity of the supporting portion 12 (i.e., the rigidity of the first plate portion 16a and the second plate portion 17a) is also increased. This allows the lighting fixture 200 to be more stably fixed to the mounting surface portion 14. Also, since the covering material 1 and the batten material 3 are fixed by screwing the fixing screw S into the cover fixing surface portion 13 of the supporting portion 12, the batten material 3 can be more stably fixed to the covering material 1.

[0029] Next, the overall configuration of a second embodiment of the handrail will be described. The second embodiment is installed to assist pedestrians in passageways and the like, and is configured by attaching a coping board to the upper ends of multiple support posts erected on the floor surface. As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the second embodiment of the handrail includes a cylindrical coping board 100, a lighting fixture 200 that fits inside the coping board 100, and a support post 8 that supports the coping board 100. The coping board 100 extends linearly from side to side, and multiple lighting fixtures 200 are installed inside the coping board 100 at intervals from side to side. Additionally, multiple support posts 8 are erected from side to side at intervals from side to side on the floor surface F, and the coping board 100 is supported by these support posts 8.

[0030] As shown in Figs. 7 to 9, the headboard 100 has a hollow structure with a substantially circular cross section, and the cover material 1 located on the upper side and the batten material located on the lower side are engaged with each other and fixed with a fixing screw S. In the second embodiment, the cover material 1 is the same as that in the first embodiment. In addition, the batten material is a separate member with a different shape in a portion corresponding to the support 8 (within a range substantially the same as the left-right width of the support 8) and in other portions, and the batten material in the portion other than the portion corresponding to the support 8 is the same as that in the first embodiment, and is referred to as the lighting section batten material 3 here. The batten material in the portion corresponding to the support 8 is referred to as the support section batten material 5 here. Furthermore, the lighting fixture 200 and the mounting structure of the lighting fixture 200 are the same as those in the first embodiment. In addition, the power supply cable C is connected to a power source through the floor surface F, and the shape of the power supply cover 400 that covers the power supply cable C is different from that in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, among the components of the second embodiment of the handrail, only the parts that are different from the first embodiment (the post batten material 5, the post 8, and the power supply cover 400) will be described in more detail.

[0031] The support batten material 5 is made of an extruded aluminum material, and as shown in Fig. 7, has a batten outer shell portion 51, a batten fixing plate portion 52a, and a bottom plate portion 55a, all of which constitute the outer shape of the coping 100, and the batten outer shell portion 51, the batten fixing plate portion 52a, and the bottom plate portion 55a are integrally formed. Furthermore, a portion of the surface of the batten fixing plate portion 52a forms the batten fixing surface portion 52, and a portion of the surface of the bottom plate portion 55a forms the bottom surface portion 55, so that the batten outer shell portion 51, the batten fixing surface portion 52, and the bottom surface portion 55 can be said to be integrally formed. More specifically, the front and rear sides of the support batten material 5 are the batten outer shell parts 51, and the part between the front and rear batten outer shell parts 51, which is narrower than the rear half, is the batten fixing plate part 52a, and the remaining front part is the bottom plate part 55a, and the lower surface of the batten fixing plate part 52a is the batten fixing surface part 52, and the lower surface of the bottom plate part 55a is the bottom surface part 55. The batten fixing plate part 52a and the bottom plate part 55a are both horizontally oriented flat plates, and the bottom plate part 55a is located lower than the batten fixing plate part 52a, and the front end of the batten fixing plate part 52a and the rear end of the bottom plate part 55a are connected by a vertically oriented step part 53. Therefore, the batten fixing surface part 52 and the second surface part 17 of the support part 12 of the cover material 1 are parallel. In addition, the bottom surface part 55 is located lower and forward than the batten fixing surface part 52. The front portion of the batten outer shell part 51 extends from the front end of the bottom plate part 55a toward the front upper side, and the rear portion of the batten outer shell part 51 extends from the rear end of the batten fixing plate part 52a toward the rear upper side, and is an arc shape concentric with the cover outer shell part 11 of the cover material 1. Engaged parts 54 having a substantially L-shaped cross section are formed at the front and rear upper ends of the batten outer shell part 51. The engaged parts 54 are shaped to protrude inward from the upper end of the batten outer shell part 51, bend, and protrude upward.

[0032] The post batten material 5 configured in this manner is combined with the cover material 1 in the same manner as the lighting batten material 3. That is, the cover material 1 and the post batten material 5 are combined so that the front and rear engagement portions 18 of the cover material 1 engage with the front and rear engaged portions 54 of the post batten material 5 to form a coping 100. At this time, the vertical portion of the engaged portion 54 of the post batten material 5 fits inside the engagement portion 18 of the cover material 1, and the cover outer shell portion 11 of the cover material 1 and the batten outer shell portion 51 of the post batten material 5 form a series of circular arcs. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the cover material 1 and the post batten material 5 are fixed by fixing screws S at multiple points in the longitudinal direction. At the fixing location, a through hole through which the fixing screw S passes is formed in the batten fixing surface portion 52 (batten fixing plate portion 52a) of the support batten material 5, and a screw hole into which the fixing screw S screws is formed in the second surface portion 17 (second plate portion 17a) of the support portion 12 of the cover material 1. Thus, here, the second surface portion 17 of the support portion 12 is the cover fixing surface portion 13 into which the fixing screw S screws, and the cover fixing surface portion 13 and the batten fixing surface portion 52 are parallel. Then, the fixing screw S is inserted from the bottom (the support batten material 5 side) into the through hole of the batten fixing surface portion 52 and screws into the screw hole of the cover fixing surface portion 13 of the cover material 1. In this way, the fixing screw S is located toward the rear of the center of the front-to-rear direction of the coping 100.

[0033] In the portion of the coping 100 of the second embodiment where the post batten 5 is attached, the second surface 17 of the support portion 12 is the cover fixing surface 13, but in the portion of the coping 100 where the lighting portion batten 3 is attached, the first surface 16 of the support portion 12 is the cover fixing surface 13 and also the mounting surface 14, as in the first embodiment. Thus, in the second embodiment, both the first surface 16 and the second surface 17 of the support portion are the cover fixing surface 13, and the first surface 16 is the mounting surface 14.

[0034] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the support column 8 is made up of a cylindrical column body 81 standing on the floor surface F, a generally disk-shaped top plate portion 82 that covers the upper end of the column body 81, and a support plate 83 that extends vertically upward from the upper surface of the top plate portion 82. The support plate 83 is generally flat and oriented parallel to the left-right direction, and the upper end portion is shaped to slope downward from the center in the left-right direction toward both the left and right sides. In addition, a hole penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the upper part of the support plate 83.

[0035] A column connecting member 9 is attached to the underside of the column batten material 5 of the coping board 100. The column connecting member 9 has the same left-right width as the column batten material 5, and has a horizontal rectangular flat base portion 91 and two hanging pieces 92 extending vertically downward from the front and rear ends of the base portion 91. The hanging pieces 92 are approximately triangular when viewed from the front-to-rear direction, and a hole for passing a screw is formed in the center of the front hanging piece 92 in the front-to-rear direction, and a female threaded portion for screwing the screw is formed in the center of the rear hanging piece 92. The base portion 91 abuts against the bottom surface portion 55 of the column batten material 5 from below, and the column connecting member 9 and the column batten material 5 are fixed by passing a screw through a hole formed in a portion between the front and rear hanging pieces 92 and screwing it into the bottom surface portion 55. The head of the fixing screw S fits between the base portion 91 and the batten fixing surface portion 52. In addition, a standing piece 93 protruding toward the upper rear side is formed at the rear end of the base portion 91, and the upper end of the standing piece 93 abuts against the rear end of the batten fixing surface portion 52 of the support portion batten material 5, covering and concealing the head of the fixing screw S.

[0036] The support plate 83 of the post 8 is sandwiched from the front and back by two hanging pieces 92 of the pillar connecting member 9 attached to the head board 100. At this time, the holes in the support plate 83 communicate with the holes and female threads of the front and rear hanging pieces 92, and a screw is inserted from the front hole and screwed into the female thread to secure the plate in place. Since the upper end of the support plate 83 is inclined to the left and right, the support plate 83 does not interfere with the pillar connecting member 9 of the head board 100 even when the head board 100 is attached at an angle to the horizontal direction.

[0037] As described above, the lighting section panel material 3, which is a separate member from the support section panel material 5, is attached to the portions of the head board 100 other than the portions corresponding to the supports 8. This makes it possible to remove only the lighting section panel material 3 between the two supports 8 without removing the head board 100 itself from the supports 8, facilitating maintenance of the lighting fixture 200.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 10 (illumination section panel material 3 is shown in a see-through view), power supply cover 400 is a cylinder with a substantially rectangular cross section that is erected on floor surface F with substantially the same left-right width as support column 8. More specifically, power supply cover 400 has power supply cover main body 401, which is made of aluminum extruded material and has a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens toward the left side, a rectangular flat blocking plate 402 that blocks the left side surface of power supply cover main body 401, and a substantially U-shaped lid portion 403 that is attached to the upper end and opens downward when viewed from the left-right direction. Blocking plate 402 is detachable from power supply cover main body 401. Lid portion 403 blocks the upper ends of power supply cover main body 401 and blocking plate 402, and further covers the front and rear surfaces of the upper end of power supply cover main body 401. Moreover, the front and rear surfaces of the lid 403 are formed with convex portions 404 that protrude outward, and the lower side of the convex portion 404 is formed in an arc shape. The lighting unit batten material 3 is not present at a position of the head board 100 corresponding to the power supply cover 400, and the lid 403 is screwed to the second surface portion 17 of the cover material 1. Furthermore, the front and rear lower ends of the cover outer shell portion 11 of the cover material 1 abut against the convex portion 404 of the lid 403, and the cover outer shell portion 11 and the lower arc-shaped portion of the convex portion 404 form a continuous arc. The power supply cable C extends from the floor surface F through the inside of the power supply cover 400 to the inside of the head board 100.

[0039] The second embodiment of the handrail of the present invention configured in this way provides the same effects as the first embodiment. In addition, the support column batten material 5 has a bottom surface portion 55 located below the batten fixing surface portion 52 and on the other side (front side), so that the head of the fixing screw S penetrating the batten fixing surface portion 52 can be accommodated in the step portion formed by the batten fixing surface portion 52 and the bottom surface portion 55, so that the head of the fixing screw S does not protrude on the outer periphery side of the coping 100, and the attachment to the column connecting member 9 supporting the coping 100 is excellent. In other words, the head of the fixing screw S fits between the batten fixing surface portion 52 and the base portion 91 of the column connecting member 9, and the bottom surface portion 55 can be abutted against the base portion 91 to be securely fixed.

[0040] In addition, in the handrail of the present invention, the support portion 12 of the cover material 1 has a cross section that is approximately doglegged, consisting of a first surface portion 16 and a second surface portion 17 that are two planar portions that are inclined toward each other, and in both the first and second embodiments, the first surface portion 16 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, so that the first surface portion 16 serves as the mounting surface portion 14 to which the lighting device 200 is attached. Since the second surface portion 17 of the support portion 12 is parallel to the horizontal plane, when only the batten material 3 having the inclined batten fixing surface portion 32 is attached to the cover material 1 as in the first embodiment, the first surface portion 16 may be used as the cover fixing surface portion 13, and when both the lighting portion batten material 3 having the inclined batten fixing surface portion 32 and the support portion batten material 5 having the horizontal batten fixing surface portion 52 are attached to the cover material 1 as in the second embodiment, both the first surface portion 16 and the second surface portion 17 may be used as the cover fixing surface portion 13. In this way, depending on the shapes of the lighting section panel material 3 and the support column panel material 5, either the first surface portion 16 or the second surface portion 17 or both can be used as the cover fixing surface portion 13.

[0041] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the invention. For example, as another embodiment of the cover material 1, the first surface portion 16 and the second surface portion 17 of the support portion 12 may be separated as shown in FIG. 11. That is, the first surface portion 16 (first plate portion 16a) extends from the inner peripheral surface of the front portion of the cover outer shell portion 11 toward the rear lower side to the center portion of the cover material 1 in the front-rear direction, and the second surface portion 17 (second plate portion 17a) extends from the inner peripheral surface of the rear portion of the cover outer shell portion 11 toward the front side (horizontal direction) to the center portion of the cover material 1 in the front-rear direction, and the rear end of the first surface portion 16 and the front end of the second surface portion 17 are separated from each other.

[0042] In addition, in the cover material, the portion equivalent to the hollow portion may be a solid portion that is filled with a content. In that case, the lower surface of the solid portion becomes the support portion (first surface portion and second surface portion). Alternatively, the support portion may be a separate member from the outer shell portion of the cover. Furthermore, in the batten material, the batten fixing surface portion may be provided on the inside of the outer shell portion of the batten that forms the outer shape of the coping. Also, the configuration of the brackets and posts that support the coping can be appropriately changed taking into consideration the situation and design of the installation location of the handrail.
