Baluster Assembly

Abstract

A baluster assembly is adapted to be disposed between an armrest and a floor. The baluster assembly includes an adjustment element and a baluster post. The adjustment element has a first end adapted to be fixed on the floor, a second end opposite to the first end, and a screw-threaded section between the first and second ends. A nut engages and is movable on the screw-threaded section. The baluster post has a sleeve-endportion sleeved onto the screw-threaded section and abutting against the nut, and an insert end opposite to the sleeve-end portion and adapted to be fitted into an insert hole in the armrest. The baluster post is co-movable with the nut relative to the screw-threaded section. A decorative cover is sleeved on the sleeve-end portion to cover the nut and junctions between the nut and the sleeve-end portion and between the nut and the screw-threaded section.

1 . A baluster assembly adapted to be disposed between an armrest and a floor, the armrest having an insert hole, said baluster assembly comprising:
 an adjustment element having a first end adapted to be fixed on the floor, a second end opposite to said first end along an axial direction, and a screw-threaded section between said first and second ends;   a nut engaging and movable on said screw-threaded section;   a baluster post having a sleeve-end portion sleeved onto said screw-threaded section and abutting against said nut, and an insert end opposite to said sleeve-end portion along the axial direction and adapted to be fitted into the insert hole in the armrest, said baluster post being co-movable with said nut relative to said screw-threaded section along the axial direction; and   a decorative cover sleeved on said sleeve-end portion of said baluster post to cover said nut and junctions between said nut and said sleeve-end portion and between said nut and said screw-threaded section.   
   
   
       2 . The baluster assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said adjustment element further has a self-tapping threaded section connected to said screw-threaded section and adapted to be driven into the floor, said self-tapping threaded section being proximate to said first end, said screw-threaded section being proximate to said second end. 
   
   
       3 . The baluster assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said baluster post is hollow. 
   
   
       4 . The baluster assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a pliable centering gasket sleeved on said screw-threaded section and disposed between said screw-threaded section and said sleeve-end portion of said baluster. 
   
   
       5 . The baluster assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a lock bolt disposed on said decorative cover and pressing against said sleeve-end portion of said baluster post for locking said decorative cover on said sleeve-end portion of said baluster post.
