摘要

A rail cover assembly includes first and second cover portions with surface regions made from an antimicrobial material. The first cover portion has opposing and longitudinally-extending L-shaped lips with at least one pair of first slots defined at opposing locations along the lips. The second cover portion has opposing longitudinal edges for nesting with the first cover portion's lips, and has at least one pair of second slots defined at opposing locations along the edges in alignment with a corresponding pair of the first slots. A joiner is partially engaged in each of the first slots and partially engaged in a correspondingly aligned one of the second slots. Each joiner includes a first spring-loaded portion engaging the first cover portion and a second spring-loaded portion engaging the second cover portion.
