A modular, movable, barricade which has, along its bottom edge, a one or more of supporting feet configured to allow stacking during storage and/or transport. Individual, similar barricade modules may be easily assembled into customized configurations for use by complementary attachment means along the side edges. After use, an assembled customized configuration may be easily disassembled into individual barricade modules by detaching the attachment means. The modules may then be stacked for storage and/or transport until further use.

A roadside barrier which has underlying concrete support blocks, a mesh fence, optionally including overlying transparent sheet material, which is erected on the blocks, and a deterrent, sloping mesh-material, surface, which hinders human access, at a base of the fence on the support blocks.

A temporary barrier is described which comprises a barrier panel (12) supported upon feet (14), wherein the barrier panel (12) comprises a plurality of barrier panel components (16, 18), the barrier panel components (16, 18) being arranged side-by-side and being secured to one another using an upper elongate reinforcing member (20), the panel components (16, 18) being of plastics material form.

A barrier cable coupler for coupling two lengths of barrier cable comprises a coupler body including a threaded inner surface, a first end, and a second end; a fixed retaining collar having an outer surface and being retained to the first end of the coupler body, the fixed retaining collar including a tapered inner surface; one or more fixed end wedges positioned within the tapered inner surface of the fixed retaining collar; a tensioning retaining collar having an outer surface, the tensioning retaining collar positioned at least partially within the second end of the coupler body and including a tapered inner surface; one or more tensioning end wedges positioned within the tapered inner surface of the tensioning retaining collar; and a tensioning nut including a threaded outer surface engaging the threaded inner surface of the second end of the coupler body and retaining the tensioning retaining collar therein.

Provided is an adjustable barrier having a central hinge having a cylindrical post and an axis of rotation; a first expandable section coupled to the cylindrical post of the central hinge by at least a first connector; and a second expandable section coupled to the cylindrical post of the central hinge by at least a second connector. At least one of the first and second expandable sections is configured to articulate around the axis of rotation of the central hinge forming an articulation angle between the first and second expandable sections.

Aspects of the invention relate to a vehicle security barrier system for hostile vehicle mitigation. The vehicle security barrier system comprising: a panel; first and second support members; and a reinforcing arrangement.

A protective barrier device adapted for placement within a structure with a particular use adjacent to a vehicle. The device includes a pair of base members comprised of a hollow housing having a cavity for the addition of a weighted material. The device including a top rail and a bottom rail assembled from sections and coupled to the base members to define a perimeter of the device. A central portion generally comprising a panel is shaped for receipt within the perimeter and coupled to the rails in a cohesive assembly. The device is configured for assembly from a collapsed to an extended position for easily transport and shipping.

A barrier stand for a barrier comprising a cable is described. The barrier stand has an elongate member and a hollow top section, and at least one slot extending downwardly from the top of the top section, the slot being adapted to receive a cable. A clamping device is located in the hollow section. The clamping device defines a shaft that extends through a bore defined by a guide of the barrier stand. The shaft and guide enable sliding movement of the clamping device towards a clamping position for clamping a cable securely to the barrier stand, and away from the clamping position to release the cable from the barrier stand. The guide is secured to the elongate member thereby maintaining alignment between the clamping device and the elongate member during movement of the clamping device towards and away from the clamping position.

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.

A smart desk and barricade provide ad-hoc protection during emergencies and an augmented presentation environment. A first desk tabletop includes a connection positioned on an underside of the first desk tabletop, that is configured for detachable coupling to a desk frame. Removal of the tabletop from the desk frame provides a shield. An interlocking element is positioned on one or more edges of the first desk tabletop. The interlocking element is configured to temporarily connect to an edge of a second desk tabletop. A temporary attachment of the first desk tabletop to the second desk tabletop forms a barricade system. In some embodiments, a computing device is integrated into the desk tabletop. A smart room environment may network the desk with integrated computing device to other computing devices in the room.
