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.

Disclosed is an apparatus for the connection of one or more panels to a building element, the apparatus including: a support profile, provided with an anchor base fixed to an installation surface of the building element, a first and a second wing and a cavity, which acts as a seat for at least a portion or edge of the panel; a system designed to adjust the laying set-up of the panel with respect to the support profile, so as to adjust the inclination of the panel with respect to the building element or to panels adjacent thereto. The laying set-up adjustment system of the panel provides an adjustment assembly, capable of providing the edge of the panel with a controllable rotation around a fulcrum and of adjusting the inclination of said panel.

A railing assembly includes a bottom rail and a top rail extending parallel thereto and spaced apart therefrom. Both rails include a beam defining through-holes and corresponding pocket-holes located opposite from the other rail to define ledges facing away from the other rail. A plurality of balusters of light-transmissive material each extend between the bottom rail and the top rail, through a corresponding through-hole and pocket-hole in each railing. Retaining rings are disposed around each of the balusters within each of the pocket-holes for engaging the ledges and thereby holding the balusters to each rail. Each rail may include a plate of light-transmissive material extending in a plane adjacent the beam and configured to project light along a length thereof. One or more illumination sources are disposed in the top rail and/or the bottom rail to direct light into the balusters and/or the plate(s) to provide options for multiple illumination effects.

A lighting module assembly, including a module base and module cover housing a light source, and having latches sized and spaced so as to mate with the channels of the module base, each latch having a latch tab at a distal end of the latch. A locking unit connects the module cover and the module base together. The locking unit is formed of a springy material and includes two locking bodies and a ramped tang extending from the bottom of the locking body, and a pair of latch members, one mounted on each side of the ramped tang. The module cover includes a reflector portion for receiving light from the light source. The assembly may be provided with a tool with a plurality of prongs, connected by a handle and which, when inserted, engage the ramped tang and move the latches, to release the lighting module from the support base.

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.

The invention relates to a fence/railing/gate element comprising a base frame (16) that has a multiplicity of vertical bars (18; 18′) connected to a lower support profile (20; 20′; 20″; 20′″; 2″″), wherein the lengths of the vertical bars (18; 18′) are greater than the horizontal distance between two adjacent vertical bars (18; 18′). In order to extend the possible uses of such elements, it is provided according to the invention that between two adjacent vertical bars (18; 18′), in each case one flat filling element (24; 24′) is inserted for filling the space between two adjacent vertical bars (18; 18′), the height of which filling element—measured in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the lower support profile (20; 20′; 20″; 20′″; 20″″)—is greater than its width, wherein the support profile (20; 20′; 20″; 20′″; 20″″) is arranged vertically below the filling elements (24; 24′) and the region vertically above the filling elements (24; 24′) is open.

A grab rail with automatically activated light including: a straight longitudinal bar having a front longitudinal face and a rear longitudinal face and hollow openings at each end; two light units, each sealingly but releasably secured in one of said hollow end openings; a battery source connected with the light units and located inside the bar; at least one noise activated switching device operatively associated with said LED light units and battery source; and at least one post mount with flange, wherein an end of the post distal the flange is secured to the rear longitudinal face of the bar.

A bracket for securing an accessory (e.g. a light strip) to a structure (e.g. a railing) comprises an attachment portion and a cover portion. The cover portion is removably attached to the attachment portion. When the two portions are attached together, a channel is formed for holding the accessory. The attachment portion comprises a planar portion with one or more openings adapted to receive fasteners for attaching the attachment portion to the structure.

A deck system includes a baluster actuator device that moves balusters from an open position to a closed position. The movable balusters are positioned in the open position to at least partially open the baluster gaps between the stationary balusters, and the movable balusters are positioned in the closed position to close the baluster gaps between the stationary balusters. The balusters further include one or more functional modules secured to module inserts defined in the balusters.

A lighting fixture is provided that may include a channel configured for disposition at least partially within a recessed groove. The channel may be configured for mounting in the recessed groove by one or more fasteners, brackets and/or a combination of both fasteners and brackets. The lighting fixture may further include a mounting tray positioned within the channel and configured for mounting of a lighting element. The lighting fixture may also include a lens, for example a flexible lens, disposed at least partially within the channel and configured to at least partially cover the lighting element.
