An apparatus for protection of an elongated structural support from impact, the apparatus includes an elongated impact protection component in the form of a unitary part having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of orthogonally-oriented projections spaced along a length of the elongated impact protection component. The projections of the elongated impact protection component include integrally formed connectors for interlocking connection to other same type impact protection components.

The invention is generally directed to a portable kiosk base that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as (but not limited to) a parking kiosk base. The base comprises a support foundation and a series of protective bollards positioned on the top face of the foundation. The foundation provides a support for a corresponding kiosk, while the bollards prevent damage to the kiosk from cars, vandalism, and so forth. It should be appreciated that the base can support any of a wide variety of kiosks, such as ticketing kiosks for parking and the like.

A protective barrier and a door frame protection system include a bar having an upper section having an outer dimension; a lower section having an inner dimension greater than the outer dimension of the upper section, the lower section configured to receive the upper section; and a shock absorber configured to be positioned within the lower section and around the upper section, the shock absorber having an outer dimension less than the inner dimension of the lower section and an inner dimension greater than the outer dimension of the upper section.

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.

A modular anti-impact protection, comprising a main module (10), comprising: an outer body (11), which has at least one internal cavity; an inner body (12), provided with at least one internal cavity, and configured to be inserted at least partially into the cavity of the outer body (11).

A column protection apparatus includes a number of impact absorbing members, each impact absorbing member including a protrusion and a protrusion receiving opening. The protrusion of each impact absorption member is inserted into the protrusion receiving opening of another, different impact absorption member such that a column-receiving opening is formed through the impact absorbing members.

Protective guard devices are provided for protecting various structures, such as within a building or around a gas station fuel island. A pair of L-shaped guards may be provided to surround and protect a vertical column within a building. Each L-shaped guard may include a first wall and a second wall connected in generally perpendicular relationship. Each guard may include a plurality of connecting tabs, each having a bore hole adapted for receiving a bolt to secure each tab to a floor surface. A corner guard having a structure similar to an L-shaped guard may be provided to protect exterior corners of structures or items disposed in corners of buildings. U-shaped structures having a left wall, a front wall, and a right wall in a U-shaped configuration may be provided to protect vertically disposed items (e.g., plumbing pipes, electrical conduits, etc.) adjacent exterior walls of a building.

A force-absorbing barrier includes a plurality of chambers at least partially filled with fluid. The walls defining the chambers are flexible. Fluid passages in the interior walls between chambers allow fluid flow between the chambers. Alternatively, the chambers are filled with structures instead of or in addition to a fluid. The fluid flow from chamber to chamber and/or the deformation of the structures will absorb energy from the impact a motor vehicle, preventing the vehicle from impacting the terminal of a guardrail.

A protective barrier includes a rigid upright member including a post, a fitting having a housing with a first outer surface and a first inner surface. The housing includes a first hole extending from the first outer surface to the first inner surface; a first end, a second end and an inner chamber defined by the inner surface of the housing and extending from the first end to the second end; the first end having a flange sized and shaped for attachment to an outer surface of the rigid upright; at least one support member disposed within the inner chamber and extending from the first end toward the second end of the housing, the support member including a second hole. The protective barrier also comprises a hollow rail including a third end sized and shaped for being received within the inner chamber, the hollow plastic rail including a third hole; and a fastener extending through the first hole, second hole and third hole such that the hollow plastic rail is secured to the fitting.

A protective barrier includes a first end post including a first plastic outer cover, the first plastic outer cover including a first opening with a first pin-receiving socket formed therein, a second end post including a second plastic outer cover, the second plastic outer cover including a second opening with a second pin-receiving socket formed therein, a first hollow plastic rail including a first end disposed in the first opening of the first end post such that a first through hole in the first end is aligned with the first pin-receiving socket, and a second end disposed in the second opening of the second end post such that a second through hole in the second end is aligned with the second pin-receiving socket, a first pin extending through the first through hole in the first end of the hollow plastic rail, the first pin having a proximal end disposed in the first pin-receiving socket and a distal end disposed in a third pin-receiving socket, and a second pin extending through the second through hole in the second end of the hollow plastic rail, the second pin having a proximal end disposed in the second pin-receiving socket and a distal end disposed in a fourth pin-receiving socket.
