DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a section of a picket and railing system generally indicated at 10 installed on a deck surface 11. The picket and railing system is generally formed by a pair of post supports 12, a handrail 14, a base rail 16 and a plurality of pickets 18. A plurality of ornamental picket spacers 20 are used to space apart the pickets 18 within the picket and railing system 10.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the ornamental spacer 20 includes an elongated spacer member 22 having generally parallel sides 24, 26 and a wall 28 extending therebetween. An ornamental member 30 is connected to the wall 28. The generally parallel sides 24, 26 may extend perpendicularly to the wall 28 or may be curved. The generally parallel sides 24, 26 may include wings 32, 34, respectively for insertion into the railing system and may be formed as an integral part of the generally parallel sides. The wings 32, 34 may run the length of the elongated spacer member 22 as illustrated. Alternatively, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, the wings 32, 34 may be of any length along the elongated spacer member 22.
In this embodiment, the ornamental member 30 is a diamond shape. In an alternative embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the ornamental member 30 is circular in shape. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, any number of suitable shapes may be used as an ornamental member. For example, a star, a sun, or a moon shape may be used as an ornamental member. Any desirable shape may be used to add an ornamental feature to the railing system. The ornamental member 30 may be welded to the wall 28, but is preferably an integral part of the wall. FIG. 4. shows a section of a picket and railing system generally indicated at 10 installed on a deck surface 11 with an alternative embodiment of an ornamental spacer 20. Again, the picket and railing system is generally formed by a pair of post supports 12, a handrail 14, a base rail 16 and a plurality of pickets 18. A plurality of ornamental spacers 20 are used to space apart the pickets 18 within the picket and railing system 10
As shown in FIG. 5 the ornamental spacer 20 includes an elongated spacer member 36 having generally parallel sides 38, 40 and a wall 42 extending therebetween. An ornamental member 44 is connected to the wall 42. An elongated cross member 46 is connected to the ornamental member and disposed generally parallel to the spacer member 36 and generally in the same plane as the elongated spacer member. The elongated cross member has first and second ends 48 and 50. The elongated cross member may have a pair of faces 49 which provides visual appeal to the cross member extending across the first and second ends 48 and 50 as shown in Fig. 4.
The generally parallel sides 38, 40 may include wings 52, 54, respectively for insertion into the railing system and may be formed as an integral part of the generally parallel sides. The wings 52, 54 may run the length of the elongated spacer member 36 as illustrated. Alternatively, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, the wings 52, 54 may be of any length along the elongated spacer member 36.
In this embodiment, the ornamental member 44 is a diamond shape. In an alternative embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the ornamental member 44 is circular in shape. Again, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, any number of suitable shapes may be used as an ornamental member. The ornamental member 44 may be welded to the wall 42, but is preferably an integral part of the wall. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the elongated cross member 46 may be of any length. Preferably, the elongated cross member 46 is of a length so that the first and second ends 48 and 50 abut pickets 18 on either side of the ornamental spacer 20 as illustrated in FIG. 4. This creates a visually clean look as it provides the illusion that a cross member runs the entire length of the picket and railing system section 10.
The first and second ends 48 and 50 may include connector means for connecting the elongated cross member 46 to the pickets. The connector means may simply include connector walls 56 extending generally perpendicular to the cross member 46. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the connector means may include tines 58 spaced apart for snugly engaging the pickets 18. The tines 58 may be of any sufficient length and may be welded to the first and second ends 48 and 50, but is preferably an integral part of the elongated cross member 46.
As illustrated in FIG. 8, the connector means may include connector walls 56 extending generally perpendicular to the cross member 46 and fasteners 59, for example, screws. In this embodiment, the connector walls 56 may each define a hole 60 whereby the fasteners 59 may be inserted through to the pickets 18.
FIG. 9 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the ornamental spacer 20. The ornamental spacer 20 may simply include an elongated spacer member 62 and an ornamental member 64 connected to the elongated spacer member.
As those skilled in the art will appreciate the features listed in each embodiment of the ornamental spacer 20 may be assembled together in a number of ways, including welding. Preferably, to provide a smooth clean look, the features of the ornamental spacer 20 are formed as one integral unit either through die casts or other similar processes. OPERATION
Referring to FIG. 10, once the pair of post supports 12, handrail 14 and base rail 16 are installed on the deck surface 11 using conventional techniques, the pickets 18 may be spaced apart with the ornamental spacers 20.
The ornamental spacer 20 may simply attach to the underside of the handrail 14 in any number of ways known to those skilled in the art. For instance, a bonding agent may be applied to the elongated member 62 of the ornamental spacer 20 illustrated in FIG. 9. The elongated member 62 may then be bonded to the underside of the handrail 14. Alternatively, depending upon whether the underside of the handrail 14 is shaped to receive the ornamental spacer 20, the ornamental spacer may simply slide into, or snap onto, the underside of the handrail 14. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the ornamental spacer 20 may be slidably inserted along line 70 into the handrail 14.
Once the ornamental spacer 20 is fitted to the underside of the handrail 14, the spacer may be attached to the pickets 18 by way of tines 58 or alternative connector means. For example, a bonding agent may be applied to the connector walls 56. The connector walls 56 may then be pressed against the pickets 18 to form a bond. Alternatively, fasteners 59, such as screws, may be used to fasten the connector walls 56 to the pickets 18.
