Abstract: A top rail for handrails comprises a top rail body formed of soft synthetic resin, semi-hard synthetic resin or synthetic rubber and having a bendable metal core incorporated therein extending in the longitudinal direction thereof. The bendable metal core is bendable under a force in excess of a predetermined value and maintains the top rail body in its bent position when the core is bent together with the body. The bendable metal core can be the form of an elongated solid steel bar, to which a lubricant has been applied to the surface thereof and soft or semi-hard synthetic resin is extruded about the lubricant applied surface to form the top rail body. The bendable metal core can also be in the form of an elongated solid aluminum or aluminum alloy bar to which is applied adhesive about the surface thereof and soft or semi-hard synthetic resin is extruded about the adhesive applied surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to the installation of stair mats on stairs in a manner such that the edge cover is formed of a flexible synthetic resin or flexible rubber and a tread mat are adapted to the stairs, being adjacent to each other; the front edge of the tread mat being set on a tread side fixing tongue of the edge cover and the front edge of the tread mat being fixed on the tread side fixing tongue of the edge cover by an adhesive or by stitching.A thin tread side fixing tongue is integrally and horizontally extended from the rear portion of an edge bead cushion of the edge cover.

Abstract: A top rail for use in connection with a railing construction or the like is constituted by a main top rail member, a resilient cushion layer fitted on the main top rail member, and a surface portion layer integrally formed with the outer surface of the resilient cushion layer. the main top rail member has a support post receiving slot extending in the longitudinal direction of the top rail and opening downwardly.
