Railing support post with threaded receivers
A railing support post with threaded holes or receivers for receiving threaded hardware, such as might be used for tensioned cable railing. A decorative sleeve or post cover may be used to at least partially enclose the railing support post. The railing support post may be manufactured, for example, by providing an elongated member of a prescribed length, drilling a plurality of holes spaced along the length of the elongated member, and tapping the plurality of holes to form a plurality of threaded receivers. The threaded receivers are configured to receive rail fittings or other fittings.
Horizontal cable rail barrier
A barrier panel is formed of a first vertical rail member and a second vertical rail member mounted to and extending between top and bottom rail members. At least one vertical support member is also mounted to and extends between the top and bottom rail members. The first and second vertical rail members include first and second openings, respectively, spaced apart along their lengths. Horizontal cables are mounted to and extend between the first vertical rail member and second vertical rail member. A first end of each horizontal cable is secured within one of the first openings in the first vertical rail member and a second end of each horizontal cable is secured within an opposite one of the second openings in the second vertical rail member. Each cable further passes through an additional opening provided in the vertical support member (which is positioned between the first and second vertical rail members).
VERTICAL CABLE RAILING SYSTEM
A vertical infill railing assembly includes an upper support handrail member. The upper support handrail member receives and supports one or more vertical infill cables and one or more baluster members. The assembly includes a lower support handrail member. The lower support handrail member receives and supports the one or more vertical infill cables and the one or more baluster members. The assembly also includes one or more tensioning devices. The one or more tensioning devices receive and tension the one or more vertical infill cables.
SINGLE MOUNT TENSIONER AND WIRE ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
A tensioning wire attachment system includes a tensioning device, which includes a first collar connectable to a threaded stud. The threaded stud is connectable to a mounting base via a tubular body. The mounting base includes a mounting base aperture. The system also includes a first gripping wedge secured within the first collar via an inside thread of the first collar. The first gripping wedge secures a first wire. The system also includes a single point mounting collar. The mounting collar is configured for rotational movement of the tubular body within via a notch provided in an end of the tubular body. The mounting collar is configured for threading attachment to the mounting base via the mounting base aperture.
Cable tensioning system and method
A system and method for tensioning cables for use in railings includes anchor bodies positioned in posts to receive terminal ends of cables and tensioner members that apply force to the terminal ends of the cables.
POST MOUNT CABLE RAIL INSTALLATION SYSTEM
Post mount cable rail systems and methods for installation are disclosed. An example post mount system may include a support pipe for securing the post mount system to a support surface and a screw block including a central opening formed in a lengthwise direction of the screw block. The central opening is sized to fit over the support pipe. The screw block may be devoid of pre-fabricated openings passing in directions that intersect the central opening.
Vertical cable rail barrier
A barrier panel is formed of a first rail member and a second rail member with at least one vertical support member mounted to and extending between the first rail member and second rail member. The first rail member includes first openings spaced apart along its length. The second rail member includes second openings spaced apart along its length. Vertical cables are mounted to and extend between the first rail member and second rail member. A first end of each vertical cable is secured within one of the first openings and a second end of each vertical cable is secured within an opposite one of the second openings. End members configured to adjust tension in the vertical cables are concealed by a pair of leg members of the second rail member.
Vertical Cable Railing Assembly
A railing system is provided that illustratively includes a first rail and a second rail where the first rail is spaced-apart from the second rail. At least one cable that extends between the spaced-apart first and second rails. The at least one cable includes a stop sleeve disposed about the cable and positioned adjacent an end of the at least one cable. A cable tensioner having a body, a bore disposed through the body, and a stop surface is located adjacent an opening in the cable tensioner. An adapter that includes a body and a bore that extends into the body. The body of the adapter forms a surface located in contact with an underside surface of the top panel of the second rail between the first and second sidewalls of the second rail.
Vertical cable barrier having rails with internal cable fitting engagement features
A rail panel includes a first rail and a second rail. The first rail includes a first pair of side walls, a first perimeter wall disposed orthogonally to the first pair of side walls, and a pair of internal walls extending from the first perimeter wall and disposed parallel to the first pair of side walls. The first perimeter wall defines a plurality of first cable holes spaced apart along the length of the first perimeter wall. The second rail includes a second pair of side walls, and a second perimeter wall disposed orthogonally to the second pair of side walls, the second perimeter wall defining a plurality of second cable holes disposed spaced apart along the length of the second perimeter wall. A plurality of vertical cables extend from the first rail to the second rail, where a first end of each of the plurality of vertical cables extends through a respective first cable hole and a second end of each of the plurality of vertical cables extends through a respective second cable hole. A plurality of threaded swage fittings are each coupled to a respective first end of one of the plurality of vertical cables, where each threaded swage fitting is received between the pair of internal walls of the first rail such that the pair of internal walls inhibit rotation of the threaded swage fitting. A rigid support member extends from the first rail to the second rail.
VERTICAL CABLE RAIL BARRIER
A barrier panel is formed of a first rail member and a second rail member with at least one vertical support member mounted to and extending between the first rail member and second rail member. The first rail member includes first openings spaced apart along its length. The second rail member includes second openings spaced apart along its length. Vertical cables are mounted to and extend between the first rail member and second rail member. A first end of each vertical cable is secured within one of the first openings and a second end of each vertical cable is secured within an opposite one of the second openings. End members configured to adjust tension in the vertical cables are concealed by a pair of leg members of the second rail member.
