Abstract
A handrail/leaning rail includes a mounting system adapted to be attached to a wall and an elongated rail separate from the mounting system and removably attached to the mounting system. The rail has a handgrip portion having a top surface and undercut front and rear surfaces shaped for grasping by a user, the rear surface being positioned on the rail to be spaced apart from the wall. A safety blocking portion that is longitudinally coextensive with the handgrip portion and extends rearwardly from a lower base portion of the rear surface of the handgrip portion blocks a gap that would otherwise be left between the lower base portion of the handgrip portion and the wall. The rail also has a wall shield flange portion that extends upwardly from the safety blocking portion and is spaced apart from the rear surface of the handgrip portion.
