Abstract
A railing system comprising a first longitudinal rail portion defining a channel into which pickets are insertable at spaced intervals. Fasteners are used to pivotally connect the pickets to the channel for orientation to a desired angle with respect to the first longitudinal rail portion. A second longitudinal rail portion is fittable onto the first longitudinal rail portion to form an assembled rail member in which the channel and fasteners are concealed within the interior of the assembled rail member. The railing system provides a simple and efficient way to install railings, and is particularly suited for assembly of railings at an incline to the horizontal.
Claims27
A railing system comprising:
- a first longitudinal rail portion defining a channel into which pickets are insertable at spaced intervals;
- fasteners to pivotally connect the pickets to the channel for orientation to a desired angle with respect to the first longitudinal rail portion;
- and
- a second longitudinal rail portion fittable onto the first longitudinal rail portion to form an assembled rail member with the channel and fasteners concealed within the interior of the assembled rail member.
A railing system as claimed 2 in which the channel is formed by a pair of spaced, upstanding side walls extending from the lower surface.
A railing system comprising a first longitudinal rail portion to pivotally support a plurality of pickets at spaced intervals for orientation to a desired angle and a second longitudinal rail portion fittable onto the first longitudinal rail portion to form an assembled rail member with the first longitudinal rail portion concealed by the second longitudinal rail portion.
A railing system for mounting a plurality of pickets to a rail at a desired angle comprising:
- a first longitudinal rail portion having a longitudinal surface and a pair of spaced, upstanding side walls defining a channel into which the pickets are insertable at spaced intervals, the longitudinal surface having a plurality of spaced openings to receive the pickets with the openings being dimensioned to accommodate the pickets over a range of angles to the first longitudinal rail portion;
- fasteners insertable through the side walls and the pickets to pivotally connect the pickets within the channel for orientation to a desired angle with respect to the first longitudinal rail portion;
- and
- a second longitudinal rail portion fittable onto the first longitudinal rail portion to form an assembled rail member with the channel and fasteners concealed within the interior of the assembled rail member.
A rail member comprising:
- a first longitudinal rail portion defining a channel into which pickets are insertable at spaced intervals to be pivotally supported for orientation to a desired angle with respect to the first longitudinal rail portion;
- and
- a second longitudinal rail portion fittable onto the first longitudinal rail portion to form an assembled rail member with the channel concealed within the interior of the assembled rail member.
