Handrail, Kit, and Method for Installation of Same
Embodiments of a handrail kit are provided. The handrail kit includes a cover, a first endcap, a second endcap, and a support member. The support member includes a longitudinal axis, a first end along the longitudinal axis, a second end along the longitudinal axis, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first longitudinal side, and a second longitudinal side. The first lateral side of the support member is configured to be secured directly against a mounting surface. The first endcap is configured to mate with the first end of the support member and the second endcap is configured to mate with the second end of the support member. The cover is configured to be placed over the second lateral side of the support member and to engage the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side of the support member.
Stanchion padding
The present invention relates to stanchion padding and more specifically to stanchion padding for use in transit vehicles. The stanchion padding of the present invention comprises a tube having a hollow centre running through it from a first end to a second end and the tube also comprising an exterior wall and an interior wall joined by at least two channel walls forming at least two hollow channels. These hollow channels may be adapted to receive end caps and at least one end cap may be installed onto either the first end or the second end of the tube. The interior wall may additionally have small inner channels running the length of the tube. The tube may be made by thermoplastic extrusion and at least one end cap may be made by thermoplastic injection molding.
Wall, entryway, or column handrail with side to side bracing
A handrail mountable on a generally vertical building mounting surface adjacent the frame of a building doorway to support elderly, infirm or disabled enter and exit the doorway. Side braces attachable to the door frame and, optionally, a vertical wall mounting surface provide additional lateral strength to the railing and reduce stress on mounting surfaces.
Handrail, kit, and method for installation of same
A handrail kit that includes a cover, a first endcap, a second endcap, and a support member is provided. The support member includes a longitudinal axis, a first end along the longitudinal axis, a second end along the longitudinal axis, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first longitudinal side, and a second longitudinal side. The first lateral side of the support member is configured to be secured directly against a mounting surface. The first endcap is configured to mate with the first end of the support member and the second endcap is configured to mate with the second end of the support member. The cover is configured to be placed over the second lateral side of the support member and to engage the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side of the support member.
RAILING SYSTEM
A railing system comprising positioning systems is provided. The railing system includes one or more rails and one or more posts. When the rails and the posts are connected, the positioning systems limit the movement of the posts relative to the rails. The positioning system may include a projection on the rail and a recess on the post, and the projection and the recess cooperate such that the movement of the post relative to the rail is limited.
DECORATIVE BALUSTERS
A longitudinally elongated resilient plastic wrapping for wrapping around a railing baluster, has a tubular shape, a longitudinally extending end-to-end slit, and a decorative surface pattern. In a balustrade, a wrapping may be provided around each of the balusters. To install a wrapping, it is opened along its longitudinal slit so that the wrapping can receive a baluster, it is placed over the baluster and worked the wrapping so that it snugly receives said baluster.
Decorative railing with adjustable attaching block
The railing extends between and is secured to posts or other substantially vertical surfaces so as to function as a hand rail. It includes an elongated extruded structural core member which has a left vertical wall and a right vertical wall spaced therefrom. A horizontal wall extends between the vertical walls forming a substantially H-shaped cross-section with an open top and an open bottom. A block is secured to an end of the structural member and is adapted to attach the member to a vertical surface. The block has the ability to be secured to the structural member in a plurality of different orientations to thereby allow the structural member to be attached to the vertical surface in a plurality of different angles relative thereto. Top and bottom finishing caps close the top and bottom of the structural member. Each of the right and left walls includes opposing slots for holding elongated decorative sheet material so that the appearance of the railing can be changed.
HAND RAILS
A handrail system comprising a top rail (50) and one or more support posts (25). The rail and post/s may be formed from a synthetic material such as a fibre reinforced plastics material.
HANDRAIL SYSTEM FOR RAMP ASSEMBLY AND HANDRAIL ADAPTOR HAVING ANGLED INTERFACE
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a handrail system for a ramp assembly, the handrail system includes first and second handrail posts oriented substantially perpendicular to a ground surface, a handrail portion having first and second ends extending between the first and second handrail posts, wherein the handrail portion is substantially parallel to a ramping surface ramping from a first elevation to a second elevation at a grade, and first and second interfaces at the first and second ends of the handrail portion for interfacing with the first and second handrail posts. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, an adaptor is configured for a handrail portion.
HAND RAIL
The present disclosure relates to a hand rail. The hand rail comprises an elongate handle and an attachment portion, the handle being connected to the attachment portion by a continuous connecting web that extends from a first end of the hand rail to a second end of the hand rail to define an elongate channel between the handle and the attachment portion, the channel being open at the first end of the handle and closed at the second end of the handle; wherein a base of the channel is sloped relative to the handle such that liquid drains out of the channel when the handle is in a horizontal orientation.
