Abstract
A device for attaching an item to a railing using: a) a first coupling adapted to be attached to a railing; and b) a second coupling adapted to be attached to an item. The first coupling engages the second coupling and once engaged, the first coupling and the second coupling cannot be separated unless they are disengaged from each other.
Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/496,609, filed on Aug. 20, 2003, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
- The field of the invention is railing attachments, and more specifically railing attachments that make balancing or placing an item on a railing easier.
- Hand-railings are made to assist in balancing. It is, in fact, their primary function. Unfortunately, railings are made to balance and offset the leaning weight of a person. They are not, as anyone who has seen a drink crash to the ground knows, made for balancing all objects.
- Recognizing this problem, U.S. Pat. No. 5,240,214 to Birnbaum shows a
railing attachment 10 that has long straight dove-tail channels formed therein for receiving similarly shaped rails attached to a tray. Once the tray's rails are engaged in the attachment's dove-tail channels, the tray is securely fastened to the rail and should not tip over. The problem with this device is that it is difficult to engage the long rails, especially with a loaded tray, and the channels and rails must align precisely. - Unrelated fields have adopted similar devices to prevent things from falling from precarious surfaces. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 949,025 and 2,684,110 are directed to the timeless task of preventing children from emancipating their food and trays or dishes from high chairs, etc.
- Other problems of balancing items on rails are unique to outdoor rails. Anything balanced on an outdoor rail should be secure enough to not blow away in a wind or accidental bumping, and yet be easily and conveniently releasable with a minimum of gyrations. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the items were relatively permanently attached to a railing, and also weatherproof.
- The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior known devices and addresses these other needs for a variety of products that might be attached to a rail. Briefly stated, the invention provides a device for attaching an item to a railing comprising: a) a first coupling adapted to be attached to a railing; and b) a second coupling adapted to be attached to or formed on an item. The first coupling engages the second coupling with a minimum of movement and once engaged, the first coupling and the second coupling cannot be easily or accidentally separated and must be intentionally disengaged from each other.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show afirst coupling 10 withclips 12 that are meant to engage complementary clips. Since the goal of the invention is to mount an item that is subject to tipping or falling on a stable surface, thecoupling 10 is mounted on such asurface 16. Mounting is achieved using known fasteners such as nails, screws, or adhesive to secure thecoupling 10 to thestable surface 16. In the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , thecoupling 10 is mounted onto thesurface 16 by driving fasteners through openings in the fastening blocks 14 and into the stable surface. - As shown in
FIGS. 6 and 7 , asecond coupling 20 is attached to anitem 30 such as a tray that might be subject to tipping or spilling when set on a railing or placed outdoors. Thesecond coupling 20 is mounted to the item throughholes 24, shown inFIG. 3 (although fastening blocks similar to 14 can be used). Once mounted, the first and second part can engage each other so that theitem 30 is secure from tipping. Alternatively, theitem 30 could be formed integrally with thecoupling 20 thereon. - Details of the
second coupling 20, as well as the engagement of thefirst coupling 10 and thesecond coupling 20, are shown inFIGS. 3-5 .FIG. 3 shows thesecond coupling 20, which is similar to thefirst coupling 10 except that theclips 22 are mounted to the second coupling's exterior surface. The inside diameter of thefirst coupling 10 is preferably greater than the outside diameter of thesecond coupling 20, and provides a sliding clearance fit. - In another embodiment, the outside diameter of the second coupling could be greater than the inside diameter of the first coupling to achieve the same coupled engagement. In such an embodiment, the clips also would have to be reversed, that is, the first coupling's clips would be mounted on its exterior and the second coupling's clips would be mounted on its interior.
- The edges of the first and
second couplings - With the
second coupling 20 aligned above thefirst coupling 10 as shown inFIG. 4 , thesecond coupling 20 is pushed in direction A and engages within thefirst coupling 10. Once thesecond coupling 20 is contained within thefirst coupling 10, final engagement of the parts is achieved when theclips second coupling 20 in direction B as shown inFIG. 5 . The cutaway portion ofFIG. 5 shows theclips item 30 attached to thesecond coupling 20 should be difficult to tip. A person disengages the parts by turning the second part in the direction C. - Preferably, a plurality of generally equally spaced
clips second couplings clips second coupling 20 down more firmly onto the first coupling (seeFIGS. 8 and 9 ). InFIG. 8 , the clips are ramped shaped and have engaging teeth. InFIG. 9 , the clips are ramp shaped and have an engaging protrusion on their faces. - Additionally, the
clips second coupling 20 with theitem 30 is required in order to completely engage thecoupling 10. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second couplings are approximately 3″ includes in diameter, and theclips - The items that could be prevented from tipping include trays (
FIGS. 6 and 7 ), planters (FIG. 10 ), cups, bottle-holders, bird-feeders, flagpoles (with the parts engaged vertically on a vertical railing or post), dishes, grills (e.g. a hibachi-type small grill), and the like. - Although the stable surface is contemplated as a narrow railing that is often not an ideal place to rest items, the present invention could also be mounted to a rounded rail.
- The part is shown as a generally hollow cylinder, although other shapes could be used, such as two rings, rectangles and similar shapes without departing from the disclosed invention.
