A handrail of the present disclosure includes: a first partial handrail including an outer tube having at least one insertion hole on an outer peripheral surface of the outer tube; a second partial handrail including an inner tube having at least one opening hole on an outer peripheral surface of the inner tube, the inner tube being inserted into the outer tube; a cylindrical screw seat disposed inside the inner tube of the second partial handrail so as to be turnable in a circumferential direction and having at least one screw hole on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical screw seat; and at least one connecting bolt that penetrates the insertion hole and the opening hole and is fastened to the screw hole to couple the first partial handrail and the second partial handrail.

A handrail system includes a top rail and one or more support posts. The rail and post/s may be formed from a synthetic material such as a fibre reinforced plastics material. The or each connector has a rail connection part for connection to a rail section at either end thereof and a post connection part for connection to a support post, the connector forming part of the top rail whereby a continuous top rail is provided, in which the connection of the post/s to the connector/s is articulated so that in use the rail slope is adjustable. The system also includes one or more adjustable corner connectors including first and second parts hingedly connected to each other and being attachable to a rail section and a support post or leg.

A modular guardrail system relates to a set of interconnected beams that each fit into pairs of detachable bases, thus allowing for the creation, adjustment, and removal of a variety of configurations of temporary fence-style barriers. Each guardrail section may include two vertical posts, one on each end of each guardrail section, connected by a set of horizontal beams and, in some cases, a horizontal toeplate. Adjacent guardrail sections share a common base, thus allowing for the chain assembly of an extended barrier. The base that connects to the guardrail sections may include several vertically-oriented brackets that may slide into the different guardrail posts. The placement of the vertical brackets upon the base is selected so that each of the attached guardrail sections can be arranged independently of one another in any direction. The vertical brackets may be rotatably attached, thereby allowing for more flexible arrangements of the guardrail sections.

A hand rail system and associated methods. Newel posts of the hand rail system can be mounted in a top mount configuration or a lateral mount configuration. Mounts are receivable in a boot subassembly in a horizontal or vertical arrangement for anchoring the boot subassembly to substructure. After anchoring of the boot subassembly, a column subassembly may be installed and anchored. Openings in the boot and column subassemblies permit access to the interior of the newel post for anchoring the boot and column subassemblies and for connecting a hand rail to the column subassembly. Subsequent installation of covers on the boot subassembly and column subassembly closes the newel post and provides a finished appearance free of external indication that openings in the newel post existed and have been covered. Four-sided turned newels, newel panel retainers, and associated methods are also disclosed.

A railing bracket including a cup having a bottom wall, a first side wall, a second side wall disposed opposite the first side wall, and a notch. The first side wall defines a first countersunk through hole configured to receive a fastener. A U-shaped cap has a top wall, a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall, and a tab. The first lateral wall is configured to cover a head of the fastener and the notch is configured to receive the tab.

The invention relates to a handrail for a staircase comprising a handrail member and an adjustable securement device (80, 85) to support the hand rail member at variable heights above the stairs of a staircase.

A railing bracket assembly includes a cup with a back wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall, and a second side configured to support an end of a railing member. The back wall defines a plurality of through holes and each side wall defines a through hole, each configured to receive a fastener. A cap is adapted to cover the cup, and it has a U-shape configured to expose the bottom wall of the cup. A portion of the first side wall of the cup proximate the bottom wall is configured to contact a first tab of the cap, and a portion of the second side wall of the cup proximate the bottom wall is configured to contact a second tab of the cap to secure the cap to the cup.

The invention relates to a telescopic staircase to be installed on construction sites for providing a safe staircase for workers during building construction. The telescopic staircase comprising at least one lateral guard comprising a top rail, a bottom rail and at least two newels, the bottom rail having a plurality of connecting holes, and a plurality of tread assembly comprising a tread plate, at least two stringer portions and at least two pairs of support members, each support member having at least one connecting hole, in which the at least one lateral guard includes a first portion being retractable into and extensible from a second portion, in which each support member substantially forms a 45° angle with the tread plate, and in which the support members are to be attached to the top surface of the bottom rail via attachment means through the connecting holes.

An improved picket railing anchor system for multiple picket railings for buildings, balconies, and decks, which can experience different forces being applied by people, objects or hurricane strength winds. The system includes an elongated base member having integral keyways which receive anchor assemblies having mounting plates, elevated rails and a central mounting post that also can elevate the base member to allow for drainage. The anchor assemblies are slidable and can be selectively positioned for easy and secure installation.

In one example, a bracket includes a swivel rotatably mounted on a hinge and a keyway separable from the hinge. The swivel includes a key, while the keyway includes a recess. The key and the recess are shaped to allow the swivel and the keyway to connect to each other in a plurality of positions.
