Patent attributes
A curved railing system that does not use curved infill panels and has a continuous curved top rail. It uses a series of posts that follow the desired curve. The posts have a bottom rail and space to hold infill panels that may be glass, solid panels, perforated panels, vertical pickets, or cables. All of these infill panels are straight panels that are not curved. A special post cap is installed on the posts. The post cap has pivoting articulating brackets that are used to support and align glass channels. The top rail is a continuous length of railing that matches the desired curve. The top rail is placed over the posts and glass channels. In this way, the entire assembly produces a curved rail design at a lower cost and with less labor than a conventional curved rail.
