Safety handle device
A safety handle device includes a handle tube unit, a plurality of joint members, and a plurality of support tube units. The handle tube unit is formed with a tube channel that has two openings, and has a plurality of mounting holes. Each joint member is detachably disposed in the tube channel and has an engaging bore. Each support tube unit includes a support tube subunit detachably coupled to the handle tube unit, a fastening member passing through the respective mounting hole and engaged detachably with the engaging bore of the respective joint member, a securing seat adapted to be fixed to a wall, and a securing member extending into the support tube subunit and connected to the securing seat.
Handrail mounting system
A handrail system includes an elongated rail member; a plurality of attachment elements slidably carried on a back side of the elongated rail member; a plurality of brackets; and a plurality of pins wherein each pin is engageable through a distal end portion of a bracket to fix the attachment element to the bracket. According to the system, the brackets can be pre-mounted at spaced-apart positions onto a wall using fasteners, and then the rail member, with the carried attachment elements, can be mounted to the brackets by slidably adjusting the attachment elements along the rail member to register with the corresponding brackets. A pin is used at each attachment element/bracket pair to fix the attachment elements to the brackets and thus the rail member to the wall.
Continuous handrail system
A handrail assembly comprises an elongated railing and a plurality of brackets. The railing has two lateral channels extending along its length and a central member extending between the two lateral channels. At least one of the brackets has a base and two prongs extending away from the base. Each of the prongs engages one of the lateral channels. The engagement of the railing with the brackets forms a cavity that is defined, at least in part, by the central member, the base, and the prongs.
Illuminated rail
An internally illuminated transparent rail, such as a handrail, is disclosed. The rail is fabricated from polycarbonate or the like, and contains one or more series of lighting elements such as LEDs. The LEDs are connected to a programmable controller which stores preloaded programming control sequences and features, and which can also receive commands wirelessly from e.g. a hand held user interface such as a cellular telephone. The rail includes stanchions for mounting to an environmental object such as a transport vehicle or a static structure.
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.
Kit for mounting a wooden fixture such as a handrail or panel to a supporting structure without interrupting its attractive face thereby
A kit for mounting a wooden fixture comprising a body of wood, such as a handrail or a ceiling panel, on a supporting structure features a pair of brackets each for fastening to one of the wooden fixture and the supporting structure. Each bracket has a threaded surface which is threaded in an opposite rotational direction to the other bracket. That is, one bracket has right hand threading and the other bracket has left hand threading. The kit includes a coupling with a first surface portion which is threaded in the same direction as a first one of the brackets for mating therewith and a second surface portion threaded in the same direction as a second one of the brackets for mating therewith. The coupling is thus arranged for threadable mating with both brackets concurrently in a manner mounting the fixture but leaving a front face thereof uninterrupted.
SAFETY HANDLE DEVICE
A safety handle device includes a handle tube unit, a plurality of joint members, and a plurality of support tube units. The handle tube unit is formed with a tube channel that has two openings, and has a plurality of mounting holes. Each joint member is detachably disposed in the tube channel and has an engaging bore. Each support tube unit includes a support tube subunit detachably coupled to the handle tube unit, a fastening member passing through the respective mounting hole and engaged detachably with the engaging bore of the respective joint member, a securing seat adapted to be fixed to a wall, and a securing member extending into the support tube subunit and connected to the securing seat.
Handrail Bracket
A handrail bracket comprised of a bracket body, bracket mount and a paddle pin. The bracket mount is secured to a wall via three mounting holes where screws are inserted to securely attach the mounting bracket to a wall. The bracket mount is also comprised of two inner channels and two outer channels that correspond to two inner protrusions and two outer protrusions of the bracket body. Once the bracket mount is attached to the wall, the bracket body is connected to the bracket mount by aligning the inner and outer bracket channels with the inner and outer protrusions of the bracket body. When the bracket mount and bracket body are engaged, a paddle pin or set screw is used to secure the bracket mount to the bracket body. Finally, two screws and a rail bracket are used to secure the bracket body to the handrail.
Modular rail system
A modular rail system is disclosed where the component modules can be easily assembled in different combinations and configurations to produce customized rails having the desired appearance and functionality. In some embodiments the rail system comprises at least one connector having a longitudinal axis and comprising a connector span and at least one expansion member, wherein the expansion member is adjustable between a first configuration having a first diameter and a second configuration having a second diameter larger than said first diameter; and at least one span member having an outer surface and an inner surface and at least one open end, wherein the expansion member is insertable into an interior of the span member in the first configuration and is adjustable to the second configuration within the span member to securely engage the inner surface of the span member to releasably couple the connector and the span member together. The rail system may also include an actuator for adjusting the expansion member between the first and second configurations within the span member. In some embodiments the rail system comprises at least one span member and/or at least one connector that is illuminated to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the assembled rail and/or to direct light as desired at the site of installation. In a particular aspect the system may comprise a plurality of span members and at least one of the span members is a light emitting span member configured for receiving a lighting element. The lighting element may be connectable through a connector and/or a span member to an electrical supply externally of the rail system.
Handrail
A handrail, comprising a handrail body and a mounting plate, wherein at least one end of the handrail body is provided with a fixture block, and the fixture block and the end face of the said handrail body jointly form a notch; the mounting plate is preferred to be fixed on a wall, the mounting plate has an outer side face facing the handrail body and an inner side face facing the wall, a boss is arranged on the mounting plate protruding from the inner side face toward the outer side face, and a slot penetrating through the inner side face and the outer side face is arranged on the boss, the fixture block is inserted into the slot and bent to form a first bending part, and the first bending part is firmly pressed against the inner side face of the boss.
