Abstract
A balustrade is proposed wherein a hinge device (66) connects each baluster (56) to the rail (55) in such manner as to permit limited pivotal and translational movement therebetween. The hinge device (66) comprises a flat spring of generally J-shape the elongate body (67) of the spring being secured to the rail and the curved end (68) of the spring being secured to the baluster. An inflexible plate (70) overlies the body (67) to restrain the same against movement. Opening of the curved end (68) permits relative pivotal and translational motion between the baluster (56) and rail (55). The arrangement offers advantages in collapse of the balustrade for transportation purposes and also permits of adjustment of the angle between the rail and balusters to accommodate facture and other tolerances.
