To provide a handrail which can suppress cabin space from being reduced and restrain the amount of protruding to outside a vehicle.SOLUTION: A handrail 20 comprises: a rail part 24 slidably holding one end part of a link arm 40 which is rotatably arranged around an entrance of a vehicle and performs telescopic motion in accompany with movement of a slide door; and a handrail body 22 one end part of which is rotatably arranged around the entrance in an upper side of the one end part of the rail part 24, and which integrally rotates with the rail part 24. When the slide door closes the entrance, storage attitude is taken where one end part of the link arm 40 is positioned at the other part side of the rail part 24 so that the rail part 24 and the handrail body 22 are arranged along the slide door. When the slide door opens the entrance, development attitude is taken where the one end part of the link arm 40 is positioned at the one end part side of the rail part 24 so that the rail part 24 and the handrail body 22 are protruded toward outside of the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】車室内のスペースが低減されることを抑制できるとともに、車外への突出量を抑制できる乗降用手すりを得る。【解決手段】一端部が車両の乗降口の周辺に回動可能に設けられ、スライドドアの移動に伴って伸縮するリンクアーム４０の一端部をスライド可能に保持するレール部２４と、一端部がレール部２４の一端部よりも上方側における乗降口の周辺に回動可能に設けられ、レール部２４と一体に回動するように構成された手すり本体２２と、を備えた乗降用手すり２０であって、スライドドアが乗降口を閉鎖した状態では、リンクアーム４０の一端部がレール部２４の他端部側に位置してレール部２４及び手すり本体２２をスライドドアに沿って配置させる格納姿勢を取り、スライドドアが乗降口を開放した状態では、リンクアーム４０の一端部がレール部２４の一端部側に位置してレール部２４及び手すり本体２２を車外へ向けて突出させる展開姿勢を取る。【選択図】図３
