Abstract:
A railing support post with threaded holes or receivers for receiving threaded hardware, such as might be used for tensioned cable railing. A decorative sleeve or post cover may be used to at least partially enclose the railing support post. The railing support post may be manufactured, for example, by providing an elongated member of a prescribed length, drilling a plurality of holes spaced along the length of the elongated member, and tapping the plurality of holes to form a plurality of threaded receivers. The threaded receivers are configured to receive rail fittings or other fittings.

Claim (Index 1):
A cable rail assembly comprising:\n first and second post sleeves, each having a plurality of holes located along a length of the post sleeve; first and second support posts, which share a common configuration, each having a first plurality of cable receivers spaced along a first length of the support post and a second plurality of cable receivers spaced along a second length of the support post in opposition to and in alignment with the first plurality of cable receivers, wherein the first support post is sized to fit within the first post sleeve to form a first cable rail support and the second support post is sized to fit within the second post sleeve to form a second cable rail support; and a plurality of cable rails configured for tensioning between the first and second support posts, each cable rail of the plurality of cable rails comprising:\n a cable; \n a first cable rail fitting for coupling the cable to the first or second support post, having a first end for receiving the cable and a second threaded end for coupling to a cable receiver of the first and second support posts; \n wherein each cable receiver of the first and second support posts comprises a threaded hole sized to receive the first cable rail fitting of the cable rail, wherein each cable receiver of the first and second support posts is sized to receive a cable of the plurality of cable rails therethrough, wherein each of the plurality of holes of the first and second post sleeves is located to align with a respective one of the cable receivers of the first and second support posts to enable a cable of the plurality of cable rails to be passed through respective ones of the first plurality and second plurality of cable receivers and corresponding aligned holes of the first or second post sleeves, and thereby enable each of the first and second support posts to be used as an end post or an intermediate post, and wherein a first end portion of the cable is configured to couple, via the first cable rail fitting, to a cable receiver of the first or second support post, the second threaded end of the first cable rail fitting extending through a respective one of the holes of the first and second post sleeves and threadably engaging the threaded hole of the cable receiver.
