A handrail fitting 10 has a peripheral wall 12 which defines a first socket for reception of a handrail end, and a transverse wall 14 comprising a hole 24 for receiving a fastener to secure the fitting to a handrail end received in the socket. Use of the fastener, i.e. a screw, allows the socket aperture to be larger than the handrail thus permitting tolerance adjustment in the angle of the handrail. Hole 24 may be offset from the centre of the fitting, more than one such hole may be provided. The peripheral wall 12 may define a further socket 16, lying opposite the first socket, for reception of a further handrail end, so concealing the transverse wall and fastener. The coupling piece so formed may be straight or curved, forming convex or concave ramps, or horizontal or vertical turns. Alternatively, the fitting may be a handrail end cap. The fitting may be used with solid or hollow handrails. |
