Abstract
A stanchion with sleeve includes an elongated member secured to a fixed structure and extending generally linearly away from the fixed structure. The sleeve has an elongated body extending curvilinearly between two opposing ends. An interior cavity extends along the sleeve and through one end of the sleeve. The interior cavity has a cross-sectional shape adapted for slip fit engagement with the stanchion post. The sleeve is formed with a curve for receiving the stanchion post in the interior cavity in force fit engagement.
Claims18
A stanchion comprising:
- an elongated member having a first end secured to a fixed structure, said elongated member extending generally linearly, away from said first end to an opposing terminal end;
- and
- a sleeve having an elongated body extending generally curvilinearly between two opposing ends, said sleeve having an interior cavity extending along said sleeve and through one of said two opposing ends, said interior cavity having a cross-sectional shape adapted to receive said elongated member in slip fit engagement, said elongated member being positioned in said interior cavity and being received in force fit engagement in said interior cavity.
A sleeve to at least partially encase a stanchion, comprising:
- an elongated body extending generally curvilinearly between a first end and an opposing second end;
- and
- an interior cavity extending along said sleeve and through one of said first end and said second end, said interior cavity having a cross-sectional shape adapted to receive the stanchion in slip fit engagement, said sleeve receiving the stanchion in said interior cavity in force fit engagement.
The method of using a stanchion sleeve to at least partially encase a stanchion, comprising the steps of:
- providing a stanchion;
- providing a sleeve having an elongated body with two opposing ends and an interior cavity extending along said elongated body and through one end of said elongated body;
- forming said interior chamber with a cross-sectional shape adapted to receive said stanchion in slip fit engagement;
- forming a curve in said elongated body so that said sleeve receives said stanchion in said interior cavity in force fit engagement;
- inserting said stanchion into said interior cavity;
- and
- forcing said sleeve onto said stanchion, to a desired position on said stanchion, to at least partially encase said stanchion.
