Abstract
A railing has a plurality of aligned glass panels. A pair of support members are secured to opposite sides of the bottom of each glass panel with each support member having a cap and a depending plate secured to the glass panel. A railing base has a groove removably receiving the bottom of each glass panel and the plates of the support members with the caps resting on the top of the railing base and secured thereto. The railing base, in turn, is removably secured to a supporting structure. A handrail is mounted on the top of the glass panels. The handrail comprises a plurality of inverted channel members each receiving the upper portion of at least one glass panel. A bar is connected to the tops of adjacent inverted channel members to secure them together. A cap is telescoped over the channel members.
