ABSTRACT:
A modular railing system for straight or curved stairways and straight or curved balconies includes a selected number of balusters, each having a stanchion for connection to a base support member of the balcony or stairway and a handrail member of the balcony or stairway railing system and a barrier part connected to the stanchion. The barrier parts may comprise predetermined ornamental scroll-shaped portions connected to the stanchions at spaced apart points between opposite distal ends of the stanchions and projecting laterally from the stanchions. Alternatively, the stanchions may project from opposite ends of the barrier part. Each baluster has a predetermined ornamental and functional shape to provide a repeating pattern of the railing system throughout its extent and to provide a maximum pass-through dimension to comply with regulatory requirements. The stanchion parts and barrier parts of each baluster are proportioned to provide modular railings for stairways having substantial differences in slopes. The balusters are preferably fabricated of wrought iron or other workable metals and the barrier parts of each baluster may be formed to have a predetermined radius of curvature out of a vertical plane for use in conjunction with curved stairways or balconies.
