ABSTRACT:
A balustrade includes a top and bottom rail, and a plurality of plug members respectively fixed in aligned grooves of the top and bottom rails. Each of the plug members includes a U-shaped portion and two flap portions extending respectively from the U-shaped portion. Each of the U-shaped portions of the plug members has a guiding slot with two enlarged ends formed therein. A plurality of balusters of equal length are parallelly mounted between the top and bottom rails. Each of the balusters has two end portions respectively and rotatably received in one of the plug members on the top rail and one of the plug members on the bottom rail. Each of the end portions of the balusters has a retaining member fixed thereto which is slidably retained in the guiding slots to prevent the end portions of the balusters from separating from the plug members of the rails. Therefore, the angle between the top rail and each of the balusters can be adjusted by means of parallelly moving the top rail relative to the bottom rail, so as to enable both the top and bottom rails to be substantially parallel with a staircase to which the balustrade is mounted.
