ABSTRACT:
An improved reversible rubrail suitable for use on vessels such as ships, boats and the like comprises an elongated flexible resilient strip having an upstanding rear wall and spaced front walls connected to opposite ends, that is, the top and bottom of the rear wall and extending arcuately forward thereof so that their free ends abut or reversibly overlap and so that they define a covered compressible space or cavity with the rear wall. The free ends of the two front walls are flexible and thus provide access to the compressible cavity so as to permit the rubrail to be easily installed while concealing internal connecting bolts, screws, etc. within the cavity.
An end wall is connected to either the top or bottom of the rear wall and extends rearwardly thereof. The rear surface of the rear wall and one surface of the end wall are flat. These flat surfaces are connected preferably at a 90.degree. angle. The rubrail can be installed on a vessel which either has a deck which overlaps the hull or has the deck flush with the hull. The rubrail is simple, inexpensive, easy to install, effective and is sufficiently flexible so that it can be trained around corners, etc.
