The washer is sleeved in the groove and capable of abutting against the inner wall of the baluster in a sealed manner.

A handrail can increase safety by providing a hand-hold which can be installed permanently to many types of ground or floor surfaces. Embodiments include one or more vertical tubular section, the vertical tubular section having a tapered lower end that can be inserted into a base and neck portion, and one or more handrail sections affixed to tops of the one or more vertical tubular sections. A handrail may assist people as they walk or stand by providing a support on which to lean.

The present disclosure is directed to a guard. The guard includes a left side extension operably connected to a left segment, the left segment operably connected to a left corner, the left corner operably connected to a middle segment, the middle segment operably connected to a right corner, the right corner operably connected to a right segment, the right segment operably connected to a right extension, wherein each of the left segment, the middle segment and the right segment comprise at least one support maintaining a distance of each of the left segment, the middle segment and the right segment from a supporting surface, and wherein the left segment, the middle segment and the right segment are configured to form a first opening, the first opening so dimensioned and configured as to accept insertion of a first container.

Parapet particularly for stairs, terraces and the like, including: a protection element having a lower extreme fixable to a walk support and an upper extreme which extends along a longitudinal direction; a handrail having a seat adapted to receive in insertion the upper extreme; at least one U-shaped fastening element and having: a spine adapted to be housed in the seat; and a compartment for housing an edge of the upper extreme. The fastening element has a length inferior to the length of the upper extreme and it is in polymeric material selected between Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene and an aliphatic polyamide; also it is dimensioned with respect to the seat and the edge to be coupled with an interference fit with at least one of the latter.

A guard rail system that is assembled from a kit of components that includes bottom rails, top rails and balusters and U-shaped top rail inserts that fit into the underside of the top rails. The tops of the balusters are inserted through the spaced apart holes in the base of the insert. The top rail has a body and a pair of spaced apart legs extending downward from the body. After the system has been assembled the legs engage the uprights of the top rail insert to create a compression fit between the top rail insert and the tops of the balusters.

Disclosed is a handrail and railing assembly, which is made up of a handrail, a plurality of support frames, a movable corner, connecting sleeves and a corner connecting rod; wherein the handrail is connected by a plurality of handrail units and connecting sleeves, and connected by a movable corner or corner connecting rod at a corner; the spaced support frames are provided to hold the handrail. The handrail and railing assembly meets the strength requirements of different sites and can be adjusted according to the on-site installers.

The present invention relates to a handrail arrangement. The handrail arrangement comprises a handrail defining a grippable exterior surface and a recess in the handrail. The handrail arrangement also comprises an attachment device (40, 42) which is receivable in part in the recess defined in the handrail, the attachment device being configured in respect of a part not received in the recess to be attached to a handrail support (32). The handrail comprises first and second parts (34, 36) which are configured to releasably attach to each other, the first and second parts when attached to each other defining a substantially continuous exterior surface of the handrail in a circumferential direction, the first part defining more than 180 degrees of the circumference of the exterior surface of the handrail and the second part defining less than 180 degrees of the circumference of the exterior surface of the handrail.

A railing system (1) for an offshore installation (2) is disclosed. The railing system (1) comprises two or more balusters (3) including connection means (4) for connecting the balusters (3) to the offshore installation (2) and at least one rail (11) comprising two or more longitudinal rail sides (5), wherein at least one of the two or more longitudinal rail sides (5) is a T-slot side (6) comprising at least one T-slot (7). The railing system (1) also comprises at least two fixation devices (8) arranged to connect the at least one rail (11) to the two or more balusters (3) so that the T-slot side (6) of the rail (11) is forced against a first side (9) of the balusters (3), wherein each of the at least two fixation devices (8) comprises bolt means (10) including a pin part (12) and a head part (13), wherein the head part (13) is arranged at one end of the pin part (12), wherein the head part (13) is arranged in the at least one T-slot (7) and the pin part (12) is extending through an orifice (14) in the baluster (3), wherein the fixation device (8) further comprise a collar (15) encircling the pin part (12) on a second side (17) of the balusters (3), wherein the first side (9) is opposite the second side (17), wherein the collar (15) is connected to the pin part (12) by means of a compression joint (18), and wherein the two or more balusters (3), the at least one rail (11) and the at least two fixation devices (8) are made of aluminium.
