Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority as a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/718,517 entitled “Fascia Mounted Railing System, filed on Sep. 28, 2017, which is incorporated herein in its entirety.
- This invention relates to fascia mounted railing systems and particularly to fascia mounted railing systems having a slab-mounted base of post supports.
- Modern building design for high-rise apartments and other types of building structures often have concrete balconies. These balconies allow the residents to enjoy outdoor space attached to their dwelling units or offices. For safety purposes, these balconies have railing systems installed. Typically, these guardrails are fabricated from metal or concrete. Guardrails fabricated using metal are usually either surface mounted to the top of the slab using a base plate, or mounted into a core pocket. Although these designs work and provide the necessary protection, they are not the most aesthetically pleasing constructions.
- Over the years I have developed several different designs for railing systems. Two of these enable a railing system to be mounted to the face of a slab. These designs are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,497,057; and 7,617,650. Two problems exist in mounting a rail to the face of a slab: one is in how to support the railing posts against the slab and the other is how to support infill panels when the railing posts are mounted in front of a slab. Both designs solve this problem by using a number of fascia brackets to secure posts to the outer face of the elevated slab balcony. The posts have a base track secured to them to support the infill panels, which are then placed between the posts to provide the wall structure. A top rail can be used to cover the top of the infill panel. Note that both designs secure the posts to the slab at a point above the base of the posts. As noted above, a base track is installed as well.
- The instant invention is a design for fascia mounted railings that uses brackets that secure the posts to the slab while also providing base support for the infill panels without the use of a full base rail. It does this by using a first bracket to secure the posts to the slab and a second bracket that fits within the bottom of the post to support the infill panels. This bracket has end flanges that extend outwardly from the post to support an infill panel. Note the infill panels can have a base treatment to conceal the face of the slab, if desired, for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition, the system has the capacity for a top railing that can be attached to the back of the posts as a grab rail, or attached to the top of the posts (with a bracket) for a top rail.
