google images agree w coping, top rail, but the kokugos describe something kinda different:

koj: 鳥居や門・板塀などの上にわたす横木
daijr: 鳥居・門・板塀などの上縁に,横に渡す木。
daijs: 鳥居や門・塀・手すりなどの上端に渡す横木。
these sound more like a cross-beam/lintel?

google results for 鳥居 笠木 show it being the upper part of the top cross-beam, which is sometimes looks like top 
rail/coping, but in other instances is just a beam

I don't think an expl gloss is necessary.
I can't find a source (besides eijiro) for "cap piece" or "head board".
