ABSTRACT:
The handrail assembly includes at least one tubular metal stanchion having a base and at least one aperture through both sides of the stanchion and at least a horizontal top rail extending through the stanchion aperture. The horizontal top rail has an inner metal pipe, an outer plastic pipe, and at least one aperture through both sides of the rail for receiving a metal retaining rod. Following insertion of the horizontal top rail into the stanchion aperture, the apertures of the top horizontal rail are vertically oriented so that they are aligned with the tubular metal stanchion. Following alignment of the top horizontal rail apertures, the retaining rod is fitted into the apertures. In one embodiment, the retaining rod rests in a receiving cup located on the base of the stanchion. In an alternative embodiment, the retaining rod has an end plate affixed to it where the end plate is sized to be about the interior diameter of the tubular metal stanchion. In each embodiment, the retaining rod reversibly locks the top horizontal rail in position within the stanchion. Disassemblage of the handrail assembly is facilitated by the easy pulling out of the retaining rod.
