second couplings (28). The body (25) includes a first end and a second end and is formed of one
of a single body section or multiple body sections (26). The first end cap (22) is attached to the
first end of the body (25) by the first coupling (28) and the second end cap (24) is attached to the
second end of the body (25) by the second coupling (28). The body sections (26) may be of
differing lengths so as to provide the grab bar assembly (20) with a modular construction readily
and easily allowing for a wide range of different length grab bar assemblies.

FIG. FIG. 10
Field
[0001] The present invention generally relates to grab bars. More particularly the invention AH26(46584800_1):BJM
related to a ligature resistant grab bar. 2023248102
Background
[0002] Items having a ligature resistant design are a generally a requirement for institutions where the occupants of the institution may be at risk for self-harm. Such institutions include, without limitation, correctional facilities, detention centers, hospitals and mental health residential facilities. Ligature resistant items are designed so as to lack places where a ligature (such as a cord, rope, bedsheet or other fabric/material) can be tied or looped over to create a sustainable attachment point that may result in self-harm or loss of life to the occupant.
[0003] Such institutions need a variety of different ligature resistant items and one such item is a grab bar, as might be provided in a shower or rest room. Grab bars are sometime required to be installed in a horizontal orientation and other times in a vertical orientation. Grab bars also sometimes need to be of specific lengths, which is dictated by the particular installation requirements.
[0004] Some existing grab bars can be alternatively mounted in a horizontal orientation or a vertical position. However, these grab bars must be ordered in specific lengths, such as 18, 24 or 36 inches. If a different length is required, the grab bar needs to be special ordered and individually fabricated per the request, thereby taking weeks or months to produce at a substantially increase in cost.
Summary of Invention
