(Conventional technology) Conventional general-purpose handrails are installed with concrete root wraps, etc. placed inside the weir walls that make up the surrounding walls of rooftops and balconies, so there is a dead space outside the handrail. This has the disadvantage that the usable space on rooftops and balconies becomes narrower, and the surface on which the handrails are installed has a base mortar layer,
Because surface coating layers such as a waterproof coating layer and a finishing mortar layer are formed, the binding force of the wrapped concrete does not directly reach the building frame.
The erection strength was insufficient.

To erect the handrail, as shown in Figure 3,
Bolt insertion holes 13 facing indoors are bored at important points in the weir wall 1. Therefore, both hanging wall portions 7 of the anchor hardware 7
The overhanging piece 8a of the mounting bracket 8 is attached to the lower end surface of each of c and 7c.
are placed facing each other, and the screw 14 is loosened and screwed into the screw hole 11 from below through the elongated hole 12a. As a result, the mounting fittings 8, 8 are suspended from the anchor fitting 7 so as to be movable indoors and outdoors within the range of the elongated holes 12a, 12a. Next, the weir wall cap 2 is brought into contact with the base of the pillar 3 via the packing material 15, and the anchor hardware 7 is superimposed on the inside thereof, and the screw 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 1 from below.
By screwing into the bis pocket 3a of the support 3 through 0, the support 3, the weir wall cap 2 and the mounting bracket 8,
8 is fixedly integrated with an anchor metal fitting 7 that suspends it. As shown in FIG. 4, this one-piece anchor hardware 7 is fitted across the top of the weir wall 1, and the hanging pieces 8b of both mounting brackets 8, 8 are attached to both indoor and outdoor sides of the weir wall 1, respectively. While abutting and tightening the screw 14, both hanging pieces 8b, 8b's elongated holes 12b, 12b
The through bolt 17a passes through the bolt insertion hole 13 of the weir wall 1, and nuts 17b, 17 are attached to both ends of the through bolt 17a.
Screw and tighten b. After the above-mentioned integral part is installed, a watertight material holder 18 made of extruded aluminum or its alloy is inserted into the groove 2e with screws 19 at the lower ends of both hanging wall portions 2b and 2c of the weir wall cap 2.
Both hanging walls 2b, 2c of the weir wall cap 2 are screwed in and fixed by a watertight material 20 made of rubber or the like fitted to the frame 18a having a substantially U-shaped cross section at the tip of the holder 18.
A watertight seal is made between the lower end of the weir wall 1 and both sides of the weir wall 1.
In addition, the connection between the handrail cap 4 and the support post 3 is as follows.
The upper end and the bottom plate 4a of the handrail cap 4 are fixed by screwing the screws 16 into each bis pocket 3a of the column 3 in the same way as the lower part, and the top plate 4b, which has a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section, is further attached to the bottom plate 4a. It is done by fitting.

(Effects unique to the invention) According to the mounting device according to this invention, the handrail can be installed directly on the weir wall, so it is possible to maximize the dead space on the outer periphery of the handrail as in the past. Since the installation of the weir wall cap and the erection of the handrail are done at the same time, the amount of work required is greatly reduced compared to the conventional method, and the mounting brackets on both sides are screwed to the anchor metal fittings through long holes. The same mounting device can be used for weir walls having different widths in the indoor and outdoor directions within the range of the elongated hole. Furthermore, the mounting device of this invention has a simple structure, low material cost, and easy installation, and has the advantage of being able to erect a handrail firmly even against a weir wall made of lightweight foamed concrete, which has weak strength. be.
