This traversing structure has been designed as a series of evenly spaced profiled levers that clamp to the top rail of a balustrade. The lever angle is shallow at one end to reference the height of an adjacent wall and sequentially steepens until near vertical at the other end of the array. The lever profiles and dimensions have been refined to suit the stiffness of the construction material, the efficient use of the material and to reduce time taken to laser cut the angles set and the friction required between each lever and the rail. The central section of each profile clips into its corresponding frame.
