Abstract
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.
Claims11
A door frame protection system comprising:
- a first upright bar including:
- a first upper section having a first outer dimension and a first length;
- a first lower section configured to receive the first upper section wherein an inner dimension of the first lower section is greater than the first outer dimension of the first upper section;
- a first shock absorber configured to be positioned within the first lower section and around the first upper section, the first shock absorber having an outer dimension less than the inner dimension of the first lower section and an inner dimension greater than that of the outer dimension of the first upper section;
- a first mounting assembly configured to secure the first lower section to a ground portion;
- a second upright bar including:
- a second upper section having a second outer dimension and a second length;
- a second lower section configured to receive the second upper section wherein an inner dimension of the second lower section is greater than the second outer dimension of the second upper section;
- a second shock absorber configured to be positioned within the second lower section and around the second upper section, the second shock absorber having an outer dimension less than the inner dimension of the second lower section and an inner dimension greater than that of the outer dimension of the second upper section;
- a second mounting assembly configured to secure the second lower section to a ground portion;
- a third bar having a third outer dimension and a third length, wherein the third bar is coupled to the first upright bar and the second upright bar;
- a first coupler having an inner dimension that is greater than the first outer dimension of the first upright bar and greater than the third outer dimension of the third bar;
- and
- a second coupler having an inner dimension that is greater than the second outer dimension of the second upright bar and greater than the third outer dimension of the third bar;
- wherein:
- the upper section of the first upright bar includes a first upper section receiving hole;
- the first shock absorber includes a first shock absorber receiving hole;
- and
- the lower section of the first upright bar includes a first lower section receiving hole;
- and
- wherein the door frame protection system further includes a first upright bar pin configured to be inserted through the first upper section receiving hole, the first shock absorber receiving hole, and the first lower section receiving hole when the first upper section receiving hole, first shock absorber receiving hole, and first lower section receiving hole are substantially aligned.
