ABSTRACT:
An ergonomic handrail/bumper has an elongated metal retainer of substantially uniform cross-section along its length that is adapted to be mounted on a wall by supports. A bumper-retaining portion of the retainer includes a generally vertically oriented web, to which a handgrip-retaining portion spaced apart above the web is joined by a connecting portion. A bumper member is mounted on the front of the web of the bumper-retaining portion, and a handgrip member is mounted on the handgrip-retaining portion of the retainer. The handgrip-retaining portion has a base joined to the connecting portion, the base being inclined upwardly and rearwardly with respect to the front part of the bumper-retaining portion, and a pair of spaced apart retaining flanges extending generally upwardly from the base and defining a channel. The handgrip member is of a solid material and has surfaces engaging the base of the handgrip-retaining portion and a pair of grooves receiving the retaining flanges and defining a rib portion that is received in the channel of the handgrip-retaining portion of the retainer.
