For the straight handrail, thick sections (bumps) are added at regular intervals, allowing for a secure grip at the bump areas. This is particularly reassuring on stairs and ramps, as the difference in thickness of the gripping areas provides a sense of stability, making it "less likely to slip" and "easier to support body weight." Additionally, it is believed that elderly individuals and those with walking difficulties can move with less effort while using wheelchairs or similar aids. 【Features】 ○ Typically, bumps are added at certain intervals to fit the hand easily against the extruded section of the same cross-section. ○ When going up stairs, the bumps support the body, while when going down, the hands can slide, allowing for easy ascent and descent.
