Abstract
A pedestrian protective barrier includes a base barrier and a removable lid that engages with and covers the base barrier. The protective barrier may be made from a resin, plastic, or other suitable material that satisfies the properties and features herein. By using plastic or resin, for example, the protective barrier is sufficiently light to enable easy storage and transportation. The base barrier includes an interior cavity to receive and accommodate a weighted material, such as water, dirt, sand, weights, etc., once the protective barriers are arranged in a desired place, such as in the street protecting a restaurant's dining area, each base barrier's cavity may be filled with a desired weighted material.
Claims8
A pedestrian protective barrier, comprising:
- a base barrier having a pair of opposing front and rear exterior sidewalls and a pair of opposing left and right exterior sidewalls therebetween defining an interior cavity, in which the base barrier's top side is entirely open and leads to the interior cavity, wherein an entirety of the rear exterior sidewall of the base barrier corresponds in size and to an entirety of the base barrier's front exterior sidewall, and the front and rear exterior sidewalls of the base barrier are correspondingly angled such that the front exterior sidewall matingly engages with the rear exterior sidewall of another said base barrier;
- and
- a lid that is separate from the base barrier and rests on a top side rim of the base barrier, the lid including a pair of opposing front and rear exterior sidewalls and a pair of opposing left and right exterior sidewalls therebetween, wherein the lid includes a depressed cavity on its top surface, and at least a portion of the lid's depressed cavity enters the base barrier's interior cavity, in which the lid's depressed cavity's vertical area forms a different size than the base barrier's interior cavity's vertical area,
- wherein an entirety of the lid's front exterior sidewall corresponds in size and shape to the lid's rear exterior sidewall, and the front and rear exterior sidewalls of the lid are correspondingly angled such that front exterior sidewall matingly engages with the rear exterior sidewall of another said lid;
- and
- wherein, when the lid is rested on the top side rim of the base barrier, the lid's exterior front sidewall and the base barrier's exterior front sidewall correspondingly mate with exterior rear sidewalls of the lid and base barrier of another said pedestrian protective barrier, respectively.
