Abstract
A post support for a safety railing used in building construction comprises a hollow post socket having an open top and a through bore extending horizontally therethrough. An anchor is received within the post socket. There is a bar received through the bore of the post socket. The bar intersects with the anchor and restricts movement of the anchor relative to the post socket.
Description
- The present invention relates to a safety railing and, in particular, to a safety railing for building construction.
- United States Patent Application Publication Number 2007/0137135, which was published on Jun. 21, 2007 in the name of Shymkowich, discloses a method of installing a safety railing in a building under construction. The method comprises providing post supports having open-topped post sockets on socket supports, mounting the post sockets on a concrete floor formwork with the post sockets spaced above the concrete floor formwork by the socket supports, casting concrete to form a concrete floor on the concrete floor formwork and thereby embedding the post supports in the concrete floor with the concrete extending beneath the post sockets. The lower ends of posts are then inserted into the post sockets to support the posts above the concrete floor and rails are supported on the posts.
- There is provided a post support for a safety railing used in building construction comprising a hollow post socket having an open top and a through bore extending horizontally therethrough. An anchor is received within the post socket. There is a bar received through the bore of the post socket. The bar intersects with the anchor and restricts movement of the anchor relative to the post socket.
- The anchor may include a slot and the bar may be received within the slot. There may be a rod received within the slot and secured to the anchor. The rod may be positioned within the slot adjacent to the bar. The post support may include support members extending downwardly and radially outwardly from the post socket. The post support may have a removable cap which releasably closes the open top of the post socket. The cap may have an aperture and an elongate member received through the aperture. The elongate member may be flexible and may include burrs which engage a surface of the cap to prevent the elongate member from being uncoupled from the cap.
- There is also provided a safety railing for building construction comprising a plurality of posts and a plurality of post supports. The posts each have a post body and a male threaded portion on an end of the post body. The post supports each have a hollow post socket having an open top and a through bore extending horizontally therethrough. There is an anchor received within the post socket. The anchor has a slot and a rod received within the slot which is secured to the anchor. There is a bar received through the bore of the post socket. The bar intersects the slot of the anchor adjacent to the rod to restrict movement of the anchor relative to the post socket. The male threaded portions engage with corresponding ones of the rods to couple the posts to the post supports.
- The post may include a D-ring connected to the post body and spaced-apart from the male threaded portion. There may be a spacer disposed between the D-ring and the male threaded portion. The post may include a support bracket for supporting a rail. The support bracket may have a first support member connected to the post body and a second support member extending upwardly from the first support member. The post may include a collar with a cable extending therefrom. The cable may have a hook on an end thereof which is securable to the support bracket. The post may include a tab with an aperture for receiving a fastener.
- There is further provided a method of installing a safety railing in a building under construction comprising inserting an anchor into a post socket of a post support. A bar is inserted horizontally through the post socket so that the bar intersects the anchor and restricts movement of the anchor relative to the post socket. The post supports are mounted on a concrete floor formwork. Concrete is cast to form a concrete floor on the concrete floor formwork, thereby embedding the post support in the concrete floor. A lower end of a post is inserted into the post socket and a male threaded portion of the post is engaged with the anchor of the post support to support the post above the concrete floor. A rail is supported on the post.
- The post socket may be covered before casting the concrete to prevent concrete from entering the post socket. The post socket may be uncovered after casting the concrete to allow insertion of the post into the post socket. The post support may be mounted on the concrete floor formwork by inserting fasteners through apertures in respective support members extending downwardly and radially outwardly from the post socket.
- The rail may be supported on the post by placing the rail on a support bracket of the post and securing the rail to a tab extending from the post. Alternatively, the rail may be supported on the post by placing the rail on a support bracket of the post, winding a cable extending from the post around the rail, and securing a hook on an end of the cable to the support bracket.
- The post may be removed from the post socket and a layer of finish concrete may be applied onto the concrete floor to fill the post socket with the finish concrete. The concrete floor formwork may be removed from the concrete floor after the concrete floor has set. The underside of the concrete floor may be ground and a finish layer may be applied to the underside of the concrete floor.
- The invention will be more readily understood from the following description of the embodiments thereof given, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

There is acentral hole 38 extending through thebody 34 which is in communication with arecess 40 and anopening 42 of anannular member 44 extending centrally from thebody 34 at a bottom 37 thereof. Theopening 42 in this example is flared towards a bottom 45 of theannular member 44. Thehole 38 receives anelongate member 46 having ashaft 47 and a flaredbase 48 which is complementary in shape to theopening 42. There is a plurality of burrs, for example, burrs 50 a and 50 b extending from theshaft 47 proximal to thebase 48. Theburrs shaft 47. Thebase 48 engages theopening 42 in theannular member 44 when theshaft 47 is received through thehole 38. This prevents theelongate member 46 from being completely pulled upwardly through thehole 38 of thelid 32. Similarly, theburrs annular ledge 41 at the bottom of therecess 40 when theshaft 47 is received through thehole 38. This prevents theelongate member 46 from being removed downwardly from thelid 32 once theshaft 47 is inserted into thehole 38. Thebody 34 of thelid 32 has an outercylindrical surface 52 which fits within aninner surface 54 of thepost socket 22 as can be seen inFIG. 2 . This ensures that thelid 32 fits tightly over and securely covers thepost socket 22. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , one of theposts 16 a is shown in greater detail. Theposts post 16 a is described in detail herein with the understanding that thepost 16 b has a substantially similar structure and functions in a substantially similar manner. Thepost 16 a has abody 17 which in this example is pipe-like and is generally cylindrical. Thebody 17 includes a male threaded portion at alower end 58 thereof which in this example is anut 56. There is a D-ring 60 connected to thebody 17 near thelower end 58 by astrap 61. Thestrap 61 is welded to thebody 17 in this example. There is a recessedportion 63 adjacent the D-ring 60 in this example which has a reduced diameter compared to thebody 17. Aspacer 62 is disposed between thenut 56 and the D-ring 60. There are one or more support brackets, for example,support brackets rails FIG. 1 . Referring back toFIG. 4 , the support brackets are generally L-shaped in this example and include avertical member 66 extending upwardly from ahorizontal member 68 as shown for one of thesupport brackets 64 a. Thehorizontal member 68 in this example has a generally triangular shape and is connected to thebody 17 by welding. Thehorizontal member 68 has anopening 82 a in this example which is also generally triangular in shape. - The
post 16 a includes tabs, for example,tabs body 17. Thetabs body 17. The tabs are spaced-apart along thebody 17 such that thetabs support brackets tab 70 c is positioned near the D-ring 60. Thetabs respective apertures FIG. 5 , therails horizontal member 68 of thesupport bracket 64 a. Thevertical member 66 of thesupport bracket 64 a retains therails horizontal member 68. Therail 18 a is secured to thetab 70 a by a fastener which, in this example, is anail 74 extending through theaperture 72 a. Therail 18 b is secured to therail 18 a by a fastener which, in this example, is anail 76. Similarly, thekick rail 20 a is secured to thetab 70 c by a fastener which, in this example, is anail 78 extending through theaperture 72 c. Thekick rail 20 b is secured to thekick rail 20 a by a fastener which, in this example, is anail 80. The kick rails 20 a and 20 b in this example are not supported by support brackets. Instead, the kick rails 20 a and 20 b are supported on theconcrete floor 12 as shown inFIG. 1 . - The
rails support bracket 64 b in a similar manner as described above for thesupport bracket 64 a and as shown inFIG. 1 . However, thesupport bracket 64 b may be further provided with aretaining mechanism 81 as shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 . The retainingmechanism 81 includes a collar which, in this example, is aslip collar 83 with acable 85 attached thereto. Theslip collar 83 is slipped over thepost body 17 during manufacture of thepost 16 a before thesupport brackets slip collar 83 in this example is positioned on thepost 16 a at a desired location by abead 87 welded to thepost body 17. Thebead 87 prevents theslip collar 83 from slipping down the post body beyond the desired location. As best shown inFIG. 6 , thecable 85 has ahook 89 at anend 91 thereof opposite thecollar 83 which engages with anopening 82 b in thesupport bracket 64 b to retainrails post 16 a. The retainingmechanism 81 accordingly allows therails support bracket 64 b without being secured to thetab 70 b with a fastener. This may be desirable if the rails are made of a material, such as steel, which cannot be readily penetrated by a fastener. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , thepost socket 22 of thepost support 14 a receives ananchor 84. Theanchor 84 is generally U-shaped in this example as best shown inFIG. 8 and has aslot 86 which receives arod 88. Therod 88 is a threaded rod in this example but may be other types of rods. Therod 88 is secured within theslot 86 bywelds rod 88 is only partially received within theslot 86 which results in agap 94 between a bottom 89 of therod 88 and a bottom 96 of theslot 86. Theanchor 84 is inserted into thepost socket 22 so that thegap 94 is generally aligned with the throughbore 26, shown inFIG. 2 , of thepost socket 22. This allows thegap 94 to receive abar 98 inserted through the throughbore 26 of thepost socket 22 as shown inFIG. 7 . - The post supports are mounted so that they are spaced-apart from one another on a
concrete floor formwork 100 as shown for one of the post supports 14 a inFIG. 7 . Theconcrete floor formwork 100 may be made of plywood. Thepost support 14 a is temporarily secured to theconcrete floor formwork 100 by fasteners, for example,bolts corresponding apertures FIG. 2 , of thefoot portions FIG. 7 , once the required number of post supports is secured to theconcrete floor formwork 100, concrete is poured onto theconcrete floor formwork 100 to the level of the tops of the lids as shown for one of thelids 32 of thepost support 14 a. The concrete surrounds thepost support 14 a and forms theconcrete floor 12 once hardened as shown in fragment and partly broken away inFIG. 7 . When the concrete of theconcrete floor 12 has sufficiently set, theconcrete floor formwork 100 is removed to expose anundersurface 104 of the concrete floor as shown inFIG. 9 . Theundersurface 104 is ground to smoothen it as is conventional. Any ends of thebolts foot portions undersurface 104 are also ground away and smoothened. Athin finish layer 106 of concrete is then applied to theundersurface 104 to conceal any parts of thebolts foot portions undersurface 104. - The
lid 32, shown inFIG. 7 , is removed from thepost socket 22 to allow thelower end 58 of thepost 16 a to be inserted into thepost socket 22 as shown inFIG. 9 . Since the top of thelid 32 is level with atop surface 108 of theconcrete floor 12, as shown inFIG. 7 , the lid can be removed by pulling on theelongate member 46 which extends beyond the top surface of the concrete floor. Referring back toFIG. 9 , thenut 56 threadedly engages therod 88 to secure thepost 16 a to thepost support 14 a. Thespacer 62 positions the D-ring 60 on thetop surface 108 of theconcrete floor 12 when thepost 16 a is fully threaded into thepost support 14 a. Thebar 98, which intersects thepost support 14 a and is embedded in theconcrete floor 12 as can be seen inFIG. 1 , restricts upward movement of theanchor 84 relative to thepost socket 22 so that thepost support 14 a and thepost 16 a remain coupled together and thepost 16 a is supported above theconcrete floor 12 as shown inFIG. 9 . Therails post 16 a to form thesafety railing 10. Thesafety railing 10 can be installed around the periphery of a floor in a multi-floor building under construction to prevent workers from falling from that floor. Workers can also attach their safety harness to the D-ring 60 for additional protection from falls. - When the
safety railing 10 is no longer required, therails posts finish layer 110 of concrete is then applied to thetop surface 108 to fill the interior of the post sockets and conceal the post supports embedded in theconcrete floor 12 as shown inFIG. 10 for thepost support 14 a. - The heights of the post supports determine the thickness of the concrete floor. The post supports may accordingly be produced in different sizes to cast floors of corresponding different thicknesses.
