A handrail, in particular for scaffolding structures, for example stairway scaffolding structures, includes at least two handrail segments connected to one another by a connection unit to provide a continuous handrail, wherein at least one handrail securing element for securing the handrail segment to a scaffolding element is secured to at least one of the handrail segments, wherein the connection unit includes two connection elements that can pivot relative to one another about a pivot axis, wherein at least one connection element is/can be connected to one of the handrail segments connected to one another via the connection unit such that it can rotate about an axis of rotation that is not parallel and not orthogonal in relation to the pivot axis.

A connecting assembly for connecting a first tubular structure to a second tubular structure, the connecting assembly comprising: a first connection element having a first end, a second end connectable to the first tubular structure and a male connection lip located at the first end and extending radially and outwardly; and a second connection element having a first end connectable to the second tubular structure and a second end, the second connection element being tubular and having an internal face extending between the first and second ends and a lip receiving recess located on the internal face adjacent the second end, the lip receiving recess for receiving the male connection lip of the first connection element when the first end of the male tubular element is inserted into the female tubular element, the second tubular element including first and second hemi-tubular elements connectable together to form the second connection element.

A connecting assembly for connecting two angled tubular structures, comprising: a male section comprising a curved tubular element extending between a first beveled end and a second beveled end, a connecting flange extending linearly and outwardly from the first beveled end and comprising a connection lip extending radially and outwardly therefrom, the second beveled end being rotatably connectable to a first angled tubular structure; and a connector rotatably connectable to the connecting flange of the male section and comprising a linear tubular element between a first connecting end and a second connecting end and a connection means secured to the first connecting end of the linear tubular element and connectable to a second angled tubular structure, the linear tubular element comprising a lip receiving recess located on an internal face thereof and adapted to receive the connecting lip when the male section is inserted into the connector.

A handrail, in particular for scaffolding structures, for example stairway scaffolding structures, includes at least two handrail segments connected to one another by a connection unit to provide a continuous handrail, wherein at least one handrail securing element for securing the handrail segment to a scaffolding element is secured to at least one of the handrail segments, wherein the connection unit includes two connection elements that can pivot relative to one another about a pivot axis, wherein at least one connection element is/can be connected to one of the handrail segments connected to one another via the connection unit such that it can rotate about an axis of rotation that is not parallel and not orthogonal in relation to the pivot axis.

A handrail connector may include a hollow lengthwise member configured to retain flexibility when empty, a first sleeve having first and second sleeve ends, and a second sleeve having third and fourth sleeve ends. The member has first and second opposing ends and a side surface, the first end having a first hole proximate the side surface, the second end having a second hole proximate the side surface. The first sleeve end couples with the first end of the member and the second sleeve end couples with a first handrail. The third sleeve end couples with the second end of the member and the fourth sleeve end couples with a second handrail. The member is configured to become more rigid when a liquid compound injected into the first hole fills the second hole and hardens.
