  • railings are designed to minimally obstruct view and allow the free flow of air through them.
  • the clamping system disclosed herein can be used in any situation with suitably sturdy and spaced vertical or horizontal supports, and is not limited to use with only railings.
  • Railings are necessarily strong and accessories attached to railings should be as secure from movement or displacement as the method for securing them is strong. Accessories are subject to displacement by movement of people, particularly in the crowded floor space of most apartment balconies, or by winds. Most apartments have limited storage space so the clamping system and accessories should be lightweight for moving and nearly flat for convenient storage.

  • Embodiments of the present invention may use knobs and bolts of various dimensions and are not limited to the dimensions mentioned herein.
  • One or more washers may be disposed on the bolt 12 to reduce friction between the parts of the clamping system 10, or between the clamping system 10 and an accessory.
  • the clamp 10 includes a plastic (such as Lexon®) washer 22 to reduce the friction between the knob 14 and a clamping panel (not shown in FIG. 1), which is described in detail below.
