Problems solved by technology

Many of the parts utilized in glass wall products currently available on the market were not specifically designed for use in glass wall applications.
Although existing “storefront” technology can be used to construct glass wall structures, certain problems can result from using “storefront” technology in glass wall applications.
For example, over tim

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The present invention provides a glass barrier system constructed from pieces of glass supported between posts extending upward from various types of base structures, such as concrete slabs, masonry walls, and other similar structures. The posts are supported by support members connected with or embedded into the base structure. For example, in one embodiment of the glass support system, aluminum posts are supported by steel members embedded into and extending from a concrete base structure. By supporting the aluminum posts above the concrete, the glass barrier system can eliminate problems associated with lime in the concrete reacting with the aluminum posts. The glass barrier system according to the present invention can provide other benefits when installed as part of a larger construction project, such as a new building construction. For example, because the posts are not connected with or embedded directly into the base structure, the present invention allows the posts t...

Abstract

The present invention provides for a support member to connect a column of a handrail or glass barrier system to a concrete slab. The support member may include a post extending from a base. A portion of the post may extend from the concrete slab and may be used to connect the column to the support member. The post may include holes for connecting the support member to the column. One or more legs may extend from the base to elevate the base above a surface.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 083,164, titled “Glass Barrier System” and filed on Mar. 16, 2005, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference and which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 553,673, titled “Glass Barrier System” and filed on Mar. 16, 2004, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] a. Field of the Invention [0003] Aspects of the present invention relate to walls and fences, and more particularly, a glass barrier system and support members that may be constructed in combination with a concrete slab or masonry wall. [0004] b. Background Art [0005] Glass wall and fence structures are known in the art and are commonly used as windbreaks, pool surrounds, and noise barriers. Glass walls can be used to create an effective barrier while at the same time, limiting the confining effect of fences made of non-translu...
