JUMP SUICIDE PREVENTION DEVICE FOR BRIDGE RAILINGS
A jump suicide prevention device includes a pair of link parts disposed to face each other in a longitudinal direction of the bridge railing, a roller part including rotation parts on opposite sides thereof in the longitudinal direction to be rotatably coupled between the link parts, leg parts respectively coupled to lower ends of the link parts by fastening members, and resilient members installed between end portions of the link part and the leg part with being interposed therebetween to control vertical movements of the link part. As a jump suicide prevention device capable of preventing a suicide jumper from jumping over the upper portion of the bridge railing, the device may prevent incidents of jump suicide from bridge railings due to the configuration of the roller part which rotates while vertically pivoting according to the weight of the suicide jumper.
Barrier
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.
SUICIDE-PREVENTING FENCE
The present invention relates to a suicide preventing fence, and, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the suicide preventing fence comprises: a plurality of pole parts provided standing upright from the ground surface at predetermined intervals; a plurality of linking parts which are formed in the shape of pipes and horizontally link the spaces between the pole parts; rotating bodies which are formed with an internally hollow abacus bead shape and are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the linking parts; bearings which are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the linking parts, positioned in the centers on the insides of the rotating bodies; and rotating bolts which are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the linking parts and are inserted in through-passing regions on both side surfaces of the rotating bodies so as to rotate together with the rotating bodies. Consequently, the invention makes it possible to prevent suicide since the rotating bodies are provided on the fence and cannot be easily grasped by anyone attempting to pass over same.
SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING FALL AND SUICIDE
The present disclosure relates to a falling and death leap defense rotating cylinder system, including a supporter; a rotator that is rotatably installed in the supporter, and that inhibits a death leap of a death leap attempter by rotating when grasped by the death leap attempter; and a spiked unit that forms a cutting edge, and that is detachably installed in any one or more of the supporter and the rotator. According to the present disclosure, by the spiked unit detachably installed in the supporter or the rotator, a falling and death leap of a death leap attempter may be inhibited more effectively.
Modular panel for protecting parapet structures
A modular cover panel including two or more cover panels that cover a parapet or barrier along a roadway. Multiple cover segments may overlap one another to form the modular cover panel and each cover panel is individually hung or suspended by brackets affixed to the parapet. Each cover segment has one more surfaces intersecting with other to cover the parapet and a top surface that overhangs a top surface of the parapet. A cable may be disposed through a slot of a hanging bracket and a pin may secure the cable thereby providing a mechanical attachment to the assembly.
Stay-in-Place Forms and Methods and Equipment for Installation Thereof
Stay-in-place forms and methods and equipment for installing thereof. A concrete form includes a vertical component and a horizontal component, the vertical component located substantially perpendicular to the horizontal component. Also, the form includes an interior surface, at least a portion of the interior surface providing a form for supporting uncured concrete; wherein the uncured concrete forms a concrete structural portion upon curing of the uncured concrete; and wherein the interior surface remains attached to the concrete structural portion after curing. The form may include inserts and compatible form attachments. Also, forms including recesses may be utilized to reduce the weight thereof. Lifting equipment and accessories may be utilized to lift the form from a form holder and set same in place. Forms contain the work area as soon as it is installed to minimize fall hazards and the time, costs, and downtime associated with installation of safety measures.

Pivotal gangway having container spotting system
An apparatus comprising a gangway having a proximal end and a distal end. A cage assembly is connected to the distal end of the gangway. The apparatus further comprises a container spotting system including a camera mounted such that its field of view will show a hatch cover of a container when the hatch cover is in a predetermined location. Video electronics are in electrical communication with the camera. The container spotting system further includes a display device in electrical communication with the video electronics, the display device being operative to show at least a selected portion of the field of view of the camera. The camera may comprise an outdoor dome camera mounted to an underside of the gangway.
Apparatus and system for limiting transverse movement along an overhanging ledge
An apparatus for use with a barrier having an overhanging ledge to limit movement by a person on the ledge. The apparatus has an upright member that is positioned next to the barrier, a base member at a lower end of the upright member that is positioned on a surface adjacent the barrier and opposite the ledge, a mechanism for engaging the barrier to hold the apparatus in place and a plurality of limiting members that extend across the ledge to prevent movement past the apparatus. In one configuration, each of the limiting members extend through openings in a railing above the barrier. The engaging mechanism defines a gap that receives the barrier to hold the apparatus to the barrier. The base member can have a footplate on which weight can be placed. A system has a pair of apparatuses that define an area in which movement is allowed.
