A handrail system that is constructed and arranged to be coupled to a stairwell such that at least a portion of a hand railing may be in an upright position or a lowered position. In an upright position, the system provides a complete top-to-bottom handrail. In the lowered, stowed position, the upper railing portion is conveniently stowed away within the stairwell. In a bulkhead embodiment, a full handrail is provided in the upright, use position and the upper railing is stowed within the bulkhead when the bulkhead doors are closed.

An adjustable deck shelf assembly has repositionable components to enable the assembly to be secured to variably dimensioned and assembled deck railings. A shelf is secured to a hinged shelf support board with a removable locking shaft in a mechanical interference fit to permit removal and storage of the shelf and assembly. Hinged truss shelf supports secured to support legs can be deployed to support the shelf and retracted for storage. An adjustable deck shelf/seat assembly incorporates variable-height outriggers attached to truss shelf supports and a variable-height shelf support board to enable the assembly to be arranged as a shelf or as a seat.

In a railing system comprising a railing panel frontage which extends continuously along the course of the railing and consists of a plurality of mutually adjacent railing panels, in order to increase an additional resistance and security against destruction, an additional securing element, which, given a properly erected railing, extends between a handrail profile, resting on the railing panels, and a structural body or a holding profile disposed on the structural body and connects the handrail profile to the structural body or the holding profile, is provided.

A stair assistance device for use with a handrail, the device comprising a sleeve engageable with and slideable relative to the handrail, and a brake element to hinder or prevent sliding movement of the sleeve, wherein, when the sleeve is engaged with a handrail, the brake element is resiliently biased towards the handrail, to hinder or prevent movement of the sleeve when the device is not in use.

An antenna system has high capacity, continuous mobile coverage that is especially beneficial in stadium style venues. The use of a low profile, rail mounted antenna system and the abundance of hand and safety rails enable coverage throughout the venue. The system increases the density of communications antennas throughout the stadium providing significantly enhanced mobile voice and data service to a higher number of users over traditional stadium technology.

A passage control device having a corridor (1) and at least one pedestrian barrier (3), which, by the use of at least one blocking element (5) which is arranged in the region of the corridor (1) and can be moved between a blocking position and a passage position, releases or blocks the corridor (1) for a passage. Lateral boundaries (2) are arranged right and left of the corridor (1). The lateral boundaries (2) have a module rail (6) that is close to the ground and is provided with receptacles for functional elements and/or functional modules of the access control device, more particularly with specifically adapted receptacles for functional elements and/or functional modules of the access control device, preferably in a predefined grid.

A platform system comprising a platform structure having at least one modular platform unit with platform connection features on a side surface thereof to which other components can be connected, the other components including at least two of the following: another modular platform unit, a stair unit, a tower unit, a handrail unit, and a ladder unit. A stair assembly is connected to the platform structure via said connection features, the stair assembly comprising a plurality of stair units connected together to provide a number of steps equal to the sum of steps of the stair units.

A mounting fixture for interconnecting at least two tubular members, the mounting fixture including: at least one first connection section including a first connection aperture for receipt of a connector configured to secure a receiving element to the mounting fixture via a second connection aperture of the receiving element; a mounting sleeve configured to be secured around a section of a tubular member, the mounting sleeve comprises at least two interconnectable fixture sections, each fixture section comprising a portion of the mounting fixture which includes a section of the mounting sleeve and a portion of the first connection section; and at least one connecting arrangement for interconnecting adjacent fixture sections to form the mounting sleeve, each connecting arrangement being located on or within an inner side of each fixture section of the mounting sleeve to interconnect each fixture section to an adjoining fixture section at a location on or within an inner side of the mounting sleeve.

The rail-mounted tabletop is a table. The rail-mounted tabletop is configured for use with a fence. The fence incorporates a rail, a plurality of pickets and posts, and a supporting surface. The plurality of pickets and posts elevate the rail above the supporting surface. The plurality of pickets and posts forms the load path that transfers the load of the rail-mounted tabletop to the supporting surface. The rail-mounted tabletop is suspended from the rail of the fence. The rail-mounted tabletop is a table incorporates a counter plate, a bracing plate and a rail hook. The supporting plate and the rail hook attach to the counter plate. The counter plate forms a horizontally oriented supporting surface. The rail hook suspends the counter plate and the bracing plate from the rail. The bracing plate braces the counter plate against the plurality of pickets and posts.

A handrail system that is constructed and arranged to be coupled to a stairwell such that at least a portion of a hand railing may be in an upright position or a lowered position. In an upright position, the system provides a complete top-to-bottom handrail. In the lowered, stowed position, the upper railing portion is conveniently stowed away within the stairwell. In a bulkhead embodiment, a full handrail is provided in the upright, use position and the upper railing is stowed within the bulkhead when the bulkhead doors are closed.
