Abstract
A handrail having an elongated trim piece received on an elongated retainer. The retainer has a medial portion, a handgrip portion and a retainer flange portion, the handgrip portion having a vertical support member which provides a substantially rigid support of the trim piece with respect to a vertically downward force. The trim piece is made of a resilient material adapted to flex toward the retainer upon impact. The trim piece has a medial portion, a handgrip portion and a flange portion. The trim piece joins closely with the retainer to avoid dirt and germ traps. Preferably, an end cap is provided to close the end of the rail. The end cap has two mating wall members which form an interior space. A fastener disposed within the interior space connects the end cap to the retainer. The wall members have interlocking pieces within the interior space to interlock the two mating wall members when they are joined.
