ABSTRACT:
A safety rail for allowing temporary attachment to balconies and stairways while a conventional railing is removed thereby preventing an individual from accidentally being injured. The inventive device includes an outer member having a plurality of outer apertures, an inner member having a plurality of inner apertures that is slidably positionable within a lumen of the outer member, a first bracket attachable to the distal end of the inner member for mounting to one of the opposing support posts, and a second bracket attachable to the outer member for attachment to another of the opposing support posts. A second pin is insertable into the outer apertures and inner apertures for allowing broad adjustment of the overall length for various sizes of balconies. A threaded shaft preferably extends from the second bracket for threadable engagement with the outer member thereby allowing fine adjustment of the overall length. Another embodiment of the present invention includes a first bracket having a hook for allowing attachment about a structure without requiring fasteners. Another embodiment of the present invention includes the first bracket with a cuff member having a swivel attachment.
