Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 1 illustrates an exploded cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the invention. A wrought iron picket 001 has a tapped cavity 010, coaxially oriented with a longitudinal axis, formed in one end as shown. A coupling member 002 is shown having a head 008 attached to one end of threaded shaft 009. The threads on shaft 009 are complementary to the threads of cavity 010. Alternatively, cavity 010 may be unthreaded, and the threads on shaft 009 can be self-tapping. Slot 005 is an optional slot for interfacing with a torquing tool (not shown) for screwing coupling member 002 into cavity 010. Although a slot is illustrated, other torquing tool interfaces such as Philips, hex, and so forth can be used as readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. Head 008 is also shown with a through hole 007 formed in it, transverse to the axis of coupling member 002. Transverse hole 007 is optional, and may be used to fixture the picket assembly (for example, by hanging on a hook) d...

Abstract

The present invention provides embodiments of wrought iron picket assemblies having fasteners for mounting wooden hand rails for use in constructing railings, said fasteners also serving a fixing function during surface treatment of a picket.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 705,325, filed Aug. 4, 2005, titled “A Picket Assembly For Mounting a Handrail,” which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to picket and hand rail fastener assemblies for railings. BACKGROUND ART [0003] Railings are typically used for a variety of useful reasons such as helping to prevent a ball, dog, or person from leaving or entering an area. For example, a railing may be constructed across an edge of deck to help prevent a person on the deck from unintentionally falling over the deck's edge. Or, a railing may be constructed to confine a dog within a backyard of a home. Railings consisting of wrought iron pickets and wooden hand rails are particularly popular because of the marriage of low-maintenance utility of the wrought iron pickets, with the comfort and warm attractiveness of the w...
