Abstract
A hand rail for use on a wall comprising a length of tubular material including a central portion and end portions extending from the bent portions at an obtuse angle and engaging the wall. The end portions have free ends defining a plane which is at an acute angle to the plane of the central portion and end portions. The ends of said end portions engaging the wall are fastened to the wall at the ends of the end portions.
