Abstract:

A panel barrier panel system is provided which employs aesthetically pleasing panels which tend to be brittle, but is able to meet or exceed building codes. The system employs a frame having a vertical member, a horizontal member and connectors extending from members. These connectors employ upper and lower supports for a panel. The lower supports employ protrusion to interact with a lower edge of the panel, to support the weight of the panel, with the upper supports sandwiching the panel for stabilizing it. Since these supports do not rely upon friction and pressure to support and secure the panel, they are less apt to crush or fracture the panels. Connectors are made to be flexible to absorb shock and stress, thereby further protecting the panels.
