Abstract
Abstract A handrail in the form of a tube longitudinally slotted at its bottom and supported by a fastener assembly having a first vertical solid leg and a second vertical hollow leg interconnected by a horizontal base web. The first leg is adapted to be mounted at a wall surface and the second leg has an outer wall with a cross-section which conforms with the inner wall of the tubular handrail and is snugly surrounded thereby. The internal cavity of the second leg forms an upper compartment housing electrical wiring and connection means, and a lower compartment serving as a fitting for electrical illumination means emitting light through the slot in the bottom of the tubular handrail.
