Articulating post for a topless and bottomless glass post system

An articulating post system comprising at least one elongate post housing, each post housing of said at least one post housing having at least one channel extending between opposite ends of the post housing so as to extend substantially entirely from a first end to an opposite second end of said post housing, and at least one rigid cylindrical gasket mountable into snug rotational engagement within and along substantially the entire length of corresponding channels of said at least one channel, wherein each gasket of said at least one rigid cylindrical gasket when mounted in said corresponding channels is selectively rotatable about a longitudinally extending centroidal axis of said corresponding channels so as to be selectively angularly rotatable relative to said post housing about said centroidal axis,

• and wherein said each gasket has a glass-receiving slot formed therein and extending along substantially the entire length of said each gasket parallel to a longitudinal axis of said each gasket, and axis co-axial with said centroidal axis, and wherein said glass-receiving slot is sized so as to snugly receive along substantially said entire length of the gasket a corresponding entire edge of a sheet of glass in snug mating engagement therein and therealong,
• and wherein each channel of said corresponding channels has an elongate slot-like opening along substantially said entire length of said channel and said slot-like opening is defined between opposed facing gasket retaining flanges having parallel edges extending along said opening on opposite sides of said opening to thereby retain said each gasket in said channel, and wherein said each gasket is not retained in its corresponding said channel by anything other than said gasket retaining flanges.
