The shape of the notch 10a is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), it may be a rectangle or a sector,
Alternatively, both of the adjacent balustrade panels 10 may be cut out as shown in FIG. 5 (c). In short, it is sufficient that the rear part such as the push button does not interfere with the balustrade panel.

Further, an operation panel 20 (20 ', 20'', 2
0 ''') itself may be fitted into the notch as shown in FIG. 6 (a), or may be fitted with a brim as shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and (c). Various forms can be considered as well as the chipped shape.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, notches may be provided at the joints between the transparent balustrade panels, so that the manufacture is easy and the strength of the balustrade panels is not significantly reduced. If this notch is provided in a portion in contact with the molding, wiring such as a cable can be passed through the inside of the molding, so that the appearance can be improved in design. In addition, since the portion that protrudes to the outside can be reduced, there is no danger that clothes will be caught on the clothes, so that it is safe.
