Abstract

An ornamental handrail assembly is disclosed which provides an improved base assembly for mounting the glass panels such that the panels are easily leveled without removing the panels from the base assembly. The mounting arrangement necessitates fewer parts and requires less labor to set and adjust the panels. In another aspect, the ornamental handrail system includes a cap rail member which is secured to the upper edge of the glass panels quickly and easily and without the need for adhesives or separate fasteners.
