## Abstract

An illuminant handrail includes a rod and two fixing seats respectively fixed to two ends of the rod. A fastener is mounted to a bottom of and extends downward from each fixing seat. Two illuminating devices are respectively mounted to the bottoms of the fixing seats. Each illuminating device includes a lamp seat receiving an illuminating unit. The lamp seat of each illuminating device is transparent and includes a top wall and a peripheral wall connected to the top wall. The top wall includes a fixing hole through which one of the fasteners extends. Each illuminating unit includes a lighting unit and a circuit board. Each illuminating unit is mounted between the fixing hole and the peripheral wall of one of the two illuminating devices. The light rays emitted by the illuminating devices transmit through the lamp seats to indicate the position of the handrail.

## Claims

### Claim 1

(canceled)

### Claim 2

An illuminant handrail comprising:
a rod including two ends, with two fixing seats respectively fixed to the two ends of the rod, and with a fastener mounted to a bottom of and extending downward from each of the two fixing seats; and
two illuminating devices respectively mounted to the bottoms of the two fixing seats, with each of the two illuminating devices including a lamp seat and an illuminating unit mounted in the lamp seat and emitting light rays, with the lamp seat of each of the two illuminating devices allowing the light rays emitted to pass therethrough and including a top wall and a peripheral wall connected to the top wall, with the top wall including a fixing hole through which one of the fasteners extends, with each illuminating unit including a lighting unit and a circuit board, with each illuminating unit mounted between the fixing hole and the peripheral wall of one of the two illuminating devices, with the lamp seats transmitting the light rays emitted by the two illuminating devices to indicate the position of the illuminant handrail,
with each lamp seat being hollow, with each lamp seat further including a tubular wall extending from the top wall and delimiting the fixing hole, with each lamp seat further including an annular wall surrounding and spaced from the tubular wall, defining an annular chamber between the tubular wall and the annular wall, with the lighting unit and the circuit board of each of the two illuminating devices mounted in the annular chamber between the annular wall and the tubular wall, and with a sealing layer mounted to a bottom end of the annular chamber between the tubular wall and the annular wall.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The illuminant handrail as claimed in claim 2, with each fastener including an outer thread, with a locking member mounted in the fixing hole of each lamp seat and having a screw hole in threading connection with the outer thread of one of the fasteners, with each locking member including a top end abutting the bottom of one of the two fixing seats, and with each locking member further including a stop portion at a bottom end thereof.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The illuminant handrail as claimed in claim 3, with the top wall of each lamp seat abutting the bottom of one of the two fixing seats, and with the tubular wall of each lamp seat abutting the stop portion of one of the locking members.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The illuminant handrail as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a fixing board mounted to bottoms of the lamp seats and two gaskets, with the fasteners extending through the fixing board, and with each gasket mounted between the bottom of one of the lamp seats and the fixing board.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The illuminant handrail as claimed in claim 5, with the fixing board including two through-holes and two wire holes, with each fastener extending through one of the through-holes, with the stop portion of each locking member abutting the fixing board, and with an electric wire connected to the circuit board of each illuminating unit and extending through one of the lamp seats and one of the two wire holes.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The illuminant handrail as claimed in claim 6, with each of the two fixing seats including a positioning hole, with each fastener positioned in the positioning hole of one of the two fixing seats, and with two nuts mounted to a bottom side of the fixing board and in threading connection with the outer threads of the fasteners.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The illuminant handrail as claimed in claim 6, with each of the two fixing seats including a positioning hole, with each fastener extending upward through one of the two through-holes of the fixing board and the screw hole of one of the locking members, with the outer thread of each fastener fixed in the positioning hole of one of the two fixing seats, and with each fastener including a head abutting the bottom side of the fixing board.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The illuminant handrail as claimed in claim 2, with each lamp seat being transparent.
