Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2374750A1] The present invention relates to a handrail (12) for a fire-fighting rescue cage, characterized by two elements (28,30) to be joined with one another, each of these elements (28,30) being disposed at an end portion of one of two handrail sections (18,20) to be joined. One of these elements (28,30) is formed as a sleeve (30) and the other is formed as a shaft end portion to be slidably inserted into a joining end (36) of said sleeve (30) along one guiding axis (A) of the sleeve (30). One of said two elements (28,30) is turnable around said guiding axis (A) with respect to the other element. A first element of said two elements (28,30) comprises a radial protrusion (38) and a second element comprises a recess (40) for engaging said protrusion (38). The recess (40) comprises an insertion portion (42) extending from a joining end (36) of said second element along said guiding axis (A) and a notch (44) extending from the insertion portion (42) in a circumferential direction around said guiding axis (A). The handrail (12) further comprises a biasing member (52) for biasing said second element with respect to said first element in a circumferential direction around said guiding axis (A) against the extension direction of said notch (44).
