Injection molded grab bar

An injection molded grab bar kit having component parts capable of being assembled into a grab bar for mounting to a planar support surface, said kit comprising:

• (a) at least one substantially rigid, integrally formed, elongated tube having first and second end portions and an intermediate portion therebetween, the outer diameter of said intermediate portion varying continuously and smoothly along its length between said end portions;
• and
• (b) at least a pair of substantially rigid, integrally formed surface connectors capable of supporting said tube in spaced relation to a support surface, said surface connectors each having,
• 1. a mounting portion, said mounting portion having a substantially planar mounting flange, said flange being provided with apertures having axes which are oriented substantially perpendicular to the support surface when said connector is in use, said apertures being sized and shaped to receive mechanical fasteners,
• 2. a first tubular portion, said first tubular portion having an axis which is oriented substantially parallel to the axes of said apertures in said mounting flange, said first tubular portion defining a leg which extends outwardly from said mounting flange;
• and
• 3. at least a second tubular portion extending from said first tubular portion, said second tubular portion having an axis which is substantially perpendicular to said axis of said first tubular portion, said second tubular portion defining a first socket having an internal cross-sectional size and shape which is complementary to the external cross-sectional size and shape of said tube end portions whereby an end portion of said tube may be coaxially engaged in said first socket and said tube will in part be rigidly supported relative to the surface by said connector.
