  • Publication number: 20230044982
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a handrail-mounting bracket assembly for mounting a first handrail element to a second handrail element or a support structure, the bracket assembly comprising: a first handrail-mounting subassembly including a first handrail-mounting member and a first connecting member; a second handrail-mounting subassembly including a second handrail-mounting member and a second connecting member; the bracket assembly being selectively configurable in an engagement configuration in which the first and second handrail-mounting members are at least partially insertable into a bracket-engaging opening of the first handrail element, and in a mounting configuration wherein the first and second handrail-mounting members at least partially form together a handrail-mounting end portion and are locked with the first handrail element so as to prevent removal of the bracket assembly from the bracket-engaging opening once inserted therein.
