A heavy-duty barrier, which is movable, comprising a base part, which comprises a ballast, and a fence part attached to the base part. The fence part comprises a fixed bar structure and a rigid connection element, which is movably attached to the bar structure, and which is connectable with a complementary connection element of a neighboring heavy-duty barrier. The connection element comprises an attachment portion movably attached to a bar portion of the bar structure, and a hook portion arranged to be engaged with a corresponding hook portion of the complementary connection element.

An energy absorbing apparatus is provided and includes an outer shell having opposed ends, left and right side walls and a hollow core. The shell further includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart fold points positioned on the left and right side walls at a height which substantially corresponds to a center of gravity of a road vehicle where the fold points facilitate a controlled folding of the side walls and at least part of the shell, at or around, the fold points, during an end on impact.

A structural barrier and energy absorbing device comprises a plurality of structural elements. The structural element alone or in a plurality may serve as a traversal impediment or energy absorbing device, such as a pedestrian barrier, vehicular barrier, anti-tank obstacle, ballistic barrier, or the like. The structural element may be a tetrapod such that it comprises an element body having four extension portions that extend outwardly from the interior center to a distal end, such that the structural element maintains an identical orientation and a low center of gravity in each of four resting positions. The structural element may be a solid-state structural element comprised of a particular material or a portable and collapsible structural element wherein the element body comprises an outer skin defining an interior void space, such that during set-up or installation the interior void space may be filled with a filler substance onsite.

A kit contains mast modules that may be erected and connected in a variety of configurations to provide a barrier to accomplish any one or more of the following: guide traffic, protect and rope off an accident or crime scene, warn pedestrians and motorists of dangerous conditions, and shelter an area and/or first responders from sun and precipitation. Masts, coupling sleeves, coupling slots, slits and bases are interconnected to form a barrier.

The present disclosure provides a child safety door barrier, including a coiled tube and a fabric wound around the coiled tube. A first mounting mechanism is disposed on a first end of the coiled tube. A second mounting mechanism is disposed on a second end opposite to the first end of the coiled tube. A circular groove is disposed inside the coiled tube. An elastic component is disposed inside the circular groove, A first end of the elastic component penetrates through the coiled tube and then fixedly connects with a first end of the fabric, a second end opposite to the first end of the elastic component is fixedly connected with the second mounting mechanism. A transceiving mechanism is disposed on a second end opposite to the first end of the fabric, and the transceiving mechanism is configured to pull the fabric out from the coiled tube and fix the fabric.

An embodiment of the invention provides a barrier support assembly for use in supporting a temporary safety barrier for rapid deployment in environments such as metro rail tunnels or construction. Further embodiments provide a barrier system and a method for deploying the barrier.

A new type of demountable modular panel and its respective assembly process, intended for use on motor sports circuits, particularly on urban circuits. It has the advantage of being easily assembled and disassembled, allowing easy access to any point on the circuit. It can be used on metal barriers or on concrete bases fitted with “U” section metal guides at their ends, into which a metal support profile is inserted. Above the base, a fencing panel is placed, with a top section included at 45°. A tubular metal shaft is introduced vertically through metal connectors and tightly clamped in rectangular retention brackets. The attachment of the panel is reinforced by “L” section metal brackets and respective bolts with washers.

In one embodiment, a safety trailer has semi-tractor hitches at both ends and a safety wall that is fixed to one side of the trailer. That side, however, can be changed to the right or left side of the road, depending on the end to which the truck attaches. A caboose can be attached at the end of the trailer opposite the tractor to provide additional lighting and impact protection. Optionally, the trailer can be equipped with overhead protection, lighting, ventilation, onboard hydraulics, compressors, generators and other equipment, as well as related fuel, water, storage and restroom facilities and other amenities.
