ABSTRACT:
A hand railing assembly is provided which can be assembled on site without the use of screws and rivets and has covers to protect the interlocking joints from rain and the like. The assembly has a hand rail, a bottom rail, a plurality of spaced apart vertical posts, each post having a top end connected to the hand rail and a lower end for mounting in a supporting device, and a plurality of vertical pickets spaced between the posts, each picket having a top end connected to the hand rail and a lower end connected to the bottom rail. The improvement comprises a hand rail support strip extending along the length of the hand rail having poles spaced apart along the length to hold the top ends of the posts and pickets, a member having a T-shaped cross section, the member having a stem with sides sloped downwards and outwards, to slide into locating slots in the top ends of the pickets and posts, the member having a top flange whose ends slide in side slots in the hand rail support strip to lock the hand rail support strip to the top ends of the posts and pickets, a hand rail cap slidingly engaging and locking the hand rail support strip to cover the hand rail support strip, the member and the top ends of the posts and pickets, a bottom rail support strip extending along the length of the bottom rail having holes spaced apart along the length to hold the posts and the lower ends of the pickets, and a member having the same T-shaped cross section as that used with the hand rail support strip, inverted to slide into locating slots in the lower ends of the pickets between the posts, the member having an inverted top flange whose ends slide in side slots in the bottom rail support strip to lock the bottom rail support strip to the lower ends of the pickets.
