Abstract
A railing system includes at least one post and at least one rod defining a first distal end and a second distal end. The railing system further includes at least one connector assembly.

Claims20
A railing system comprising:
- at least one post;
- at least one rod defining a first distal end and a second distal end;
- and
- at least one connector assembly operably coupling one of the first distal end or the second distal end of the at least one rod to the at least one post, wherein the at least one connector assembly is configured for movably coupling the at least one rod to the at least one post such that the at least one rod is pivotable relative to the at least one post in at least one plane of movement.
1 more element
A connector assembly for operably coupling a rod to a post within a railing system, the connector assembly comprising:
- a ball coupled to an end of the rod;
- and
- a seat coupled to the post and adapted to at least partially retain and pivotably receive the ball within the seat, wherein pivotal movement of the ball within the seat operably couples the rod for pivotable movement relative to the post in at least one plane of movement.
