"A monolithic glass member for supporting loads..."

It's a patent for the glass structuring they use, I imagine. Not something you'll see for sale anytime soon

indeed; read [0007] and [0008].
[0007] The invention relates, in another embodiment, to a staircase...
[0008] The invention relates, in another embodiment, to a apparatus for affixing an end of a glass stair to a support structure...
which sounds quite like the glass staircase in the SoHo (and i imagine others) apple store. They're quite impressive, and worth a trip just to see them, if you're into that kind of thing

And of course, the entire area under the staircase has to be cordoned off.

Nobody has mentioned this yet, but this isn't a patent. It's just an application, which may or may not end up as a patent. Applications are made public 18 months after they are filed, unless the applicant requests earlier publication--which must have happened in this case.
