-46- ABSTRACT A collapsible handrail apparatus for mounting on a wall structure, such as a side wall of a vehicle adjacent a doorway, comprises: a handrail structure; mounting means by which the handrail structure can be pivotally connected to the wall structure; and bracing bar means. The handrail structure has a handrail portion, a first collapsed position adjacent to the wall structure, and a second extended position, in which the handrail portion extends from the wall structure so as to be positioned for handrail support. The mounting means can be pivotally connected to the wall structure at first and second spaced mounting locations for pivotal movement of the handrail structure between the first and second positions. A bracing bar means has a first end adapted to be connected to the wall structure at a first bracing location spaced from a line drawn through the two mounting locations, and a second end connected to the handrail structure at a second bracing location spaced from the line extending through the two mounting locations when the handrail structure is in its second extended position. The bracing bar means can be extended and retracted so that a distance between the first and second bracing locations can be changed in moving the handrail structure between the first and second positions.
