Benefits of technology

[0006] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved, easy to use system and method for constructing staircases. A bracket system is provided which can be fitted together with a main lumber member directly onsite to fabricate the risers for a flight of stairs. Numerous identical brackets will be used depending on the overall size of the staircase.
[0007] A specific object of the present invention is to provide a modular molded bracket system which when coupled and fastened together with a structural member such as a piece of lumber will provide stair risers quickly and efficiently.
[0010] It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a method for the construction of a riser framework comprising the steps of cutting to length structural members, securely positioning and fastening a plurality of modular brackets onto said structural members and securely positioning the resulting risers in place.

Problems solved by technology

The building of staircases is therefore time consuming and the cutting of lumber requires great skill, care and craftsmanship.
This is all time consuming and is often the cause of delays in the course of construction projects.
Furthermore, stair risers constructed out of wood have been known to deteriorate, especially when used outdoors.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring first to FIG. 1, a bracket 10 of the present invention to be used in the construction of a riser is illustrated which is comprised of at least one bottom edge 12, a front section 14, a lower section 13, at least one back end edge 16, a top section 18 and at least one bracing member 20 wherein said lower section 13, front section 14 and top section 18 enclose an open space providing for great strength and rigidity. As further illustrated in FIG. 1, the top section 18 is comprised of apertures 19 for the secure positioning and attachment of treads therein. Bracing member 20 is also comprised of apertures 21 for secure positioning and attachment to a structural member 22 in the construction of risers which may be used for staircases or terrace seating, for instance. It is understood that the bracket 10 of the present invention may also be used for other similar purposes calling for the presence of at least one riser member.

[0016] Said bracing member 20 is adaptedly sh...

Abstract

A stair bracket system and method is provided for constructing the framework of a staircase or terrace seating, having a plurality of modular brackets which are assembled in combination with wooden or steel or composite lumber structural members to result in the risers. Each of the brackets of the present invention has a bottom edge, a front and lower section, a back end edge, a top section and bracing members, so that a staircase or terrace seating can be constructed by forming at least a pair of side frames.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates generally to the assembly of stair risers for the construction of a flight of stairs, and, more particularly, to a bracket suitable for modular construction of risers. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Typically, the construction of a flight of stairs has throughout the years involved cutting a pair of stair risers out of elongated pieces of lumber with right angular notches being cut into each piece at appropriate spacings before positioning and nailing down stair treads. [0003] The building of staircases is therefore time consuming and the cutting of lumber requires great skill, care and craftsmanship. This cutting is often on a custom basis and is usually done offsite. This is all time consuming and is often the cause of delays in the course of construction projects. [0004] Furthermore, stair risers constructed out of wood have been known to deteriorate, especially when used outdoors. [0005] In light of the above, there is a ne...
