[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is an increasing number of facilities equipped with automated reception devices instead of allocating personnel in charge of reception or boarding procedures at government offices and hospitals. These reception devices use a PC terminal equipped with a display or an extension telephone as a reception device,
Alternatively, it is used as a device for issuing numbered tickets and boarding passes. In a place where such a reception device is provided, in principle, each person needs to perform an operation independently.

On the other hand, visually impaired persons such as blind persons, visually impaired persons, deaf persons, and hearing impaired persons can make voice information, display screen information,
A barrier-free terminal that can receive information provided by Braille display information is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-184368. This barrier-free terminal is an information terminal device in which a display display device, a braille display device, a transparent push button switch, a voice output speaker and the like are arranged in one casing.

As a table that can be used while sitting on a wheelchair, there is an auxiliary top plate device for the table described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 117295/1996. This device is an auxiliary top plate that can be used by wheelchair users by mounting it on a normal table.The width of the auxiliary top plate is made larger than the space between the armrests of the wheelchair, and the bottom surface of the auxiliary top plate is This device is mounted so that its height is slightly higher than the height of the armrest.

[0005]

The former barrier-free terminal enables persons with disabilities such as blind, visually impaired, deaf, and hard of hearing to obtain information by voice information, display screen information, and Braille display information. It has a device configuration that can be used as a device. However, while sitting in a wheelchair,
When operating such a reception device, sufficient information cannot be obtained unless the reception device is installed in an operable position. Therefore, to use this barrier-free terminal for people with disabilities sitting in a wheelchair, install it in a position where it is as easy as possible to operate, and make it easier for people with disabilities to put weight on the equipment or rack by mistake during operation. The strength that can withstand is also an important issue.

On the other hand, the latter auxiliary top plate is to be attached to a table mainly used in a dining room or the like and is also used by a healthy person, but it is a high table used by a healthy person and a physically handicapped person. The difference in size is not so great, and it can be used for both by attaching and detaching the auxiliary top plate. However, in places where there are reception devices that can be operated by unspecified large numbers of users at all times, such as at public offices and hospitals, in order to improve efficiency, we installed it so that healthy people can operate while standing. is doing. For this reason, the installation height of the reception device is a height dedicated to healthy people, and is currently difficult to use while sitting in a wheelchair.

Under these circumstances, there is a demand for a reception rack that can be easily used by wheelchair users. However,
Due to the unique structure of the wheelchair, there were the following problems.

First, unless the footrest portion of the wheelchair has entered the inside of the rack, it is not possible to touch the reception equipment mounted on the rack with a sufficient margin. Second
In addition, since a person with disabilities operates it, an unexpected load may be applied to the rack when approaching or operating. Therefore, it is necessary for the reception rack to have extremely strong support strength that can withstand an excessive load. Thirdly, since it is used as a rack for wheelchairs, it is expected that the installation space will be smaller than the space for healthy people, which has a large absolute number. Therefore, it is possible to install in a space as compact as possible.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair-dedicated rack that can be installed in an extremely robust and compact size and can be used safely and easily by persons with disabilities. It is a thing.
