## Abstract

A railing system providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance and unobstructed view and having a plurality of railing posts defining planar side walls and fastening bases, clamp fastening openings formed from side wall to side wall through the posts, clamp units secured on opposite sides of the posts, by fastenings passing through the clamp fastening openings, and, glass panels supported by the clamp units between the posts.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A railing system providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance and unobstructed view and comprising;
a plurality of railing posts defining planar side walls and fastening bases;
clamp fastening openings formed from side wall to side wall through the posts;
clamp units secured on opposite sides of said railing posts, by fastenings passing through said clamp fastening openings; and,
glass panels supported by said clamp units between said posts.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A railing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said railing posts are planar metal plates and define inner side edges which are linear from bottom to top, angled outer side edges defining an angle midway between the bottom and the top, and a radiussed curve portion joining said inner side edge with said outer side edge.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)
