ABSTRACT:
A balustrade connecting structure, the connecting structure is used to connect the rail to a support structure, the connecting structure is constructed to be recessed into an end of a rail to enable the connection of the rail to the support structure, the connecting structure comprises: a housing unit and at least one connecting pin, the connecting pin is slidably attached to the housing unit, the connecting pin has a spring load, the spring load on the connecting pin acts to keep a predetermined portion of the connecting pin protruding from the housing unit, whereby when the connecting pin is pushed into the housing unit the spring load acts to push the predetermined portion of the connecting pin from the housing unit, therefore when the connecting pin is pushed into the housing unit when the housing unit is recessed in the rail, the rail can then be aligned with at least one prealigned hole in the support structure and the spring load on the connecting pin forces the predetermined portion of the connecting pin to engage with the prealigned hole, thereby providing a neatly connected rail of a balustrade to a support structure.
