In order to achieve the above object, a handrail mounting according to the present invention has the following features.
The handrail mounting arm is swingably mounted in a storage groove formed on the wall surface along the handrail mounting position, and at least one of the pair of lid members is pivotable in a door shape. Two upper and lower stages are attached to the opening of the storage groove, and at least one edge of the lid member is provided with a notch for fitting with the handrail attachment arm.

Further, the handrail attachment of the present invention is provided with a predetermined lock mechanism in the storage groove, and the handrail attachment arm is fixed to the lock mechanism.

When using the handrail in the handrail mounting tool of the present invention, first, at least one of the lid members mounted in the two upper and lower stages is pivoted like a door and opened toward the front. Next, the handrail mounting arm housed in the housing groove is rotated toward the front to be taken out from the groove. If the lid member on the non-rotating side has a notch, the handrail mounting arm is fitted in the notch. Finally, the lid member is rotated in the opposite direction, and if there is a notch at the edge of the member, the notch is fitted into the handrail mounting arm, and the lid member is closed as it was.

In such a state, the pair of lid members is in a state of closing the storage groove with no gaps except for the penetrating portion of the handrail mounting arm, preventing dust and dust from entering the storage groove and storing the storage groove. Since the inside of the groove is not exposed, it looks good. In the above configuration, the handrail mounting arm is supported by the lid member on the lower side thereof, but when the handrail mounting arm is fixed to the lock mechanism provided in the storage groove, the handrail mounting arm is The lid member is supported by the lock mechanism, so that the lid member is not burdened with strength.

On the other hand, when the handrail is an obstacle when carrying in furniture or passing through a wheelchair, first, at least one of the lid members mounted in two steps, upper and lower, is rotated like a door to bring it to the front. Open it, and then turn the handrail mounting arm toward the back and store it in the storage groove. Then, the lid member is rotated in the opposite direction and closed as it was.
