Railing for spa or the like

Claim 1

A railing for a spa or the like, comprising: a tubular railing having an upwardly extending portion leading from an inlet, a downwardly extending portion leading to an outlet, and a cross portion connecting the upper ends of the upwardly and downwardly extending portions; at least a grip section of said railing comprising an outer decorative tube and a flexible inner insulating tube; said insulating tube having been formed separately from the outer decorative tube and then having been positioned therein so as to permit the passage of air through the insulating tube, from its inlet end to its outlet end; a cover ring which bears axially against and covers the junction of the insulating tube and the outer decorative tube in the direction of air flow to restrict the entry of air therebetween; and a guide sleeve extending from said cover ring and inserted in the inlet end of the insulating tube to guide air into the insulating tube; whereby the sleeve limits the inward movement of the inlet end of the flexible insulating tube away from the outer tube, and covers a radially inward junction between the cover ring and insulating tube.
