  • Patent number: 4585214
    Abstract: Decorative rail-like structures and methods for making the same wherein rails and rail supports are securely joined by the engagement of a rail channel with a rail support having a male projection with a ridge associated therewith. The male projection and associated ridge have a width greater than the width of the rail channel and are made from a material which is more resistant to compressive deformation than the material forming the rail channel. When inserted into the rail channel the ridge deforms a rail channel surface to form a depression complimentary to the ridge. The engagement of the ridge and depression resists the disengagement of rail and rail support.
