Abstract
An anti-ramming truck barrier element may include: an essentially horizontal arresting bar, and an essentially vertical pivot bar. The vertical pivot bar has at least three fasteners distributed along the length of each side. The arresting bar is rigidly connected to the pivot bar. Connecting bars are pivotably connected to the side of the pivot bar, and are being adapted to be cross-connected at different crossing angles to adjacent pivot bars, using the at least three fasteners distributed along the length of each side of the pivot bar.
Claims20
An anti-ramming truck barrier element comprising:
- a horizontal arresting bar;
- a vertical pivot bar comprising a front side, a rear side, and two lateral sides, at least three fasteners being distributed along a length of the two lateral sides of the pivot bar, wherein the arresting bar is rigidly connected to the pivot bar;
- and
- at least two connecting bars each configured to be pivotably connected to the pivot bar and to an adjacent pivot bar of an adjacent barrier element, wherein the at least two connecting bars are each configured to be cross-connected between the pivot bar and the adjacent pivot bar at different crossing angles relative to each other using the at least three fasteners, such that a distance between the barrier element and the adjacent barrier element is selectively adjustable.
An anti-ramming truck barrier element comprising:
- a horizontal arresting bar;
- a vertical pivot bar comprising a front side, a rear side, and two lateral sides, at least three fasteners being distributed along a length of the pivot bar, the arresting bar being rigidly connected to the pivot bar;
- and
- connecting bars pivotably connected to the pivot bar, said connecting bars being adapted to be cross-connected in use at different crossing angles to an adjacent other pivot bar by means of the at least three fasteners.
An anti-ramming truck barrier element comprising:
- a horizontal arresting bar;
- a vertical pivot bar comprising a front side, a rear side, and two lateral sides, wherein at least three fasteners are distributed along a length of the two lateral sides of the pivot bar, and wherein the arresting bar is rigidly connected to the pivot bar;
- a plurality of connecting bars pivotably connected to the pivot bar, wherein the connecting bars are each configured to be cross-connected at different crossing angles to an adjacent other pivot bar using the at least three fasteners;
- and
- an anchoring spike configured to penetrate a surface of the ground when the barrier element pivots from a non-engaged position to an engaged position in response to a vehicle impacting the front side of the pivot bar;
- wherein, when the barrier element is in the non-engaged position, the anchoring spike is disposed rearward and below the pivot bar.
