Secondary handrail for stairs
A secondary handrail for mounting below a conventional handrail to enable smaller individuals, such as children, to use it while ascending or descending stairs. The secondary handrail includes a mounting bracket defined by a rigid bracket body, a rail attachment member, a plurality of fastener docks, and a spindle depression as well as a rail member, and extension sleeves. In operation, a plurality of mounting brackets are mounted sequentially under a conventional handrail through an attachment to the wall or a spindle, with a plurality rail members extending between each mounting bracket. In this regard, the mounting bracket provides for the mounting of the secondary handrail below the conventional staircase and fastening the secondary handrail to a wall or spindle and the rail member provides a mounted rail for assisting an individual in ascending or descending the stairs.
Wall mounting bracket for a mounting rail and method of manufacture thereof
A wall mounting bracket for mounting an elongate mounting rail as a cantilever arm to a wall or other supporting surface is provided including a wall plate having mounting holes for mounting the bracket to a wall by means of male fasteners, and a socket for inserting the end portion of the mounting rail, including at least two flange profiles, which at their distal end have an embracing portion to interlock with the end portion of the mounting rail thereby inhibiting movement of an inserted end portion parallel to the wall plate. At least one of the embracing portions has a fixing hole for passing through a male fastener to fix the end portion of the mounting rail to inhibit retraction of the end portion from the socket. A supporting rim is provided to interlock with the outer or inner side of the end portion of the mounting rail.
LINKAGE ASSEMBLY FOR TANK-TYPE CONTAINER HANDRAIL
This invention provides a handrail linkage assembly for tank-type container, provided between a top side frame and a gangway plate, characterized in that: the handrail linkage assembly comprises a connecting plate welded on the top side frame, a connecting shaft is welded on the connecting plate, the connecting shaft is provided longitudinally, the top outer side of the connecting shaft is covered with a shaft sleeve, a handrail linkage is welded on the shaft sleeve, a groove is provided in the circumferential direction at the position where the connecting shaft contacts the shaft sleeve, that is, the groove is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting shaft, a hole is opened on the said shaft sleeve, and a limit pin is welded inside the hole, one end of the limit pin is inserted into the groove, and the other end is located outside the shaft sleeve. This invention can reduce the space occupied by the handrail assembly and has eliminated the cotter pin in the structure, solving the problem of the drawstring on the handrail possibly being hooked by the cotter pin.
