Vehicle safety catch fence
The present invention is directed to a vehicle safety catch fence system, the system comprising: two or more posts; two or more longitudinal cables operatively coupled between the two or more posts; a transverse cable, wherein the transverse cable is operatively coupled to the two or more longitudinal cables; and two or more cable clamps, wherein the two or more cable clamps operatively couple the transverse cable to the two or more longitudinal cables.
Apparatus And System For Safe Manipulation And Removal Of Highway Guardrail
A significant improvement over existing devices and methods for lifting highway guardrail and similar bulky and heavy objects, this invention comprises a combination prying and lifting device (20) having a cable component (24) which has at one end a hook device (44) for grasping the guardrail panel (21) and has at the other end a component (30) for grasping the edge of the guardrail. This invention provides workers with significant protection from various types of injuries associated with isolating, lifting, installing and removing guardrail panels.
Tension end treatment for guardrail safety system
An end treatment for a guardrail safety system includes a terminal portion of a guardrail beam comprising a downstream end and upstream end, a first tension cable coupled to an upstream end of the terminal portion. An extruder configured to receive at least a portion of the guardrail beam and at least a portion of the first tension cable, and a terminal support post installed adjacent the roadway at an upstream end of the terminal portion of the guardrail beam. The extruder includes a narrowing throat providing a channel in which at least a portion of the guardrail beam is disposed. The narrowing throat is configured to flatten the guardrail beam in response to a collision with a vehicle moving the extruder in a downstream direction along the guardrail beam. The terminal support post coupled to an upstream end of the first tension cable.
SAFETY FENCE DESIGN
In one example, a safety fence support system for a race track including a track wall positioned proximate an outer edge of the race track is described. The safety fence support system may include support members, an upper mount member, a lower mount member, a cable, and a catching member. The support members may include an upper portion, a lower portion, and an intermediate portion. The support members may be positioned a predetermined distance from the catching member such that a support post impact avoidance zone is defined between the catching member and the intermediate portion of the support members. The catching member may be fencing, netting, or mesh and may extend between the upper and lower mount members and between the at least two support members.
Impact absorbing traffic noise barrier system
Disclosed is an impact resistant traffic noise barrier system. The system includes a traffic barrier that is designed to be placed adjacent a roadway and next to a flow of traffic. The design and weight of the traffic barrier permit it to withstand a variety of vehicle impacts. As part of the system, a sound wall is installed along the top of the traffic barrier. The sound wall includes a series of beams that are secured to the traffic barrier via anchor plates. Acoustic panels are secured between adjacent beams. An anchor cable extends from an anchor post, to a first post, and along a number of intermediate posts. The anchor cable is thus suspended above the traffic barrier with the anchor cable being connected to the beams. As such, the anchor cable suspends the beams in the event they become separated from the traffic barrier.
Intelligent partitioned guardrail that can automatically prevent pedestrians from overturning
The invention discloses a smart partition fence which can prevent pedestrians from overturning automatically. It includes a base, and a shaking device is arranged in the upper end surface of the base. A rocker cavity, a rocker is arranged in the rocker cavity, a limit slot is provided through the rocker, and a limit rod is slidably arranged in the limit slot, and a transmission device is arranged inside and below the base, The upper end of the base is provided with an inflatable device. The present invention can effectively separate the flow of people or traffic, and automatically start when a pedestrian tries to climb over the guardrail, so that the pedestrian cannot climb the borrowing force with a gentle operation, and It can prevent pedestrians from crossing the fence to cause traffic jams or even traffic safety accidents, improve the safety of traffic roads, and automatically stop when no one is crossing, saving environmental protection.

Shock-absorbing barrier using pillars and rail
Disclosed is a shock-absorbing barrier. According to the present invention, the shock-absorbing barrier is configured wherein guardrails onto which shock-absorbing members like waste tires or waste rubber are mounted are attached to barrier walls and pillar bodies made by attaching pillar tubes to pillars are connectedly erected by means of the barrier walls on which the guardrails are mounted, so that if an external collision occurs, rotary rods are changed to a shape of a cone around the axis of the pillar tube rail to extend a shock-absorbing section, and the external collision is distributed by the compression and tension of both side rails to decrease the deviation displacement of the barrier wall boundary and to allow the pressure of the collision portion to be distributedly absorbed to the parts connected by the guardrails.
