Patent ID: 11447956

Abstract:
A selectively inserted panel securement secures a panel into a balustrade, and a fastener affixes the panel securement into a top rail of the balustrade. The panel securement comprises a base inserted into a recess within the bottom of the top rail, a riser affixed on one end to the base and having a contact surface adjacent to a panel side edge that restricts panel movement in a first axial direction; and a panel retaining member extending perpendicularly from the riser on a second end distal to the base. The panel retaining member is inserted into a top railing channel and restricts panel movement in a second axial direction. A notch in the base secures the panel in a third axial direction, thereby preventing movement of the panel in three orthogonal axes. The fastener fastens the selectively inserted panel securement to the top rail within the channel.
