Abstract
A parking stall barrier includes an elongated horizontal member and a pair of supports. The pair of supports are positioned in spaced relation and support the opposed ends of the horizontal member. The horizontal member is movable vertically along the supports between a raised barrier position and a lowered access position. A locking latch mechanism secures the horizontal member in the raised barrier position. When the locking latch mechanism is released, the horizontal member can be moved from the raised barrier position to the lowered access position to facilitate vehicle ingress and egress.

A parking stall barrier, comprising:
- an elongated horizontal member having opposed ends;
- a pair supports positioned in spaced relation and supporting the opposed ends of the horizontal member, the horizontal member being movable vertically along the supports between a raised barrier position and a lowered access position;
- a locking latch mechanism securing the horizontal member in the raised barrier position;
- means for releasing the locking latch mechanism to enable the horizontal member to be moved from the raised barrier position to the lowered access position to facilitate vehicle ingress and egress.
A parking stall barrier, comprising:
- an elongated horizontal member having opposed ends;
- a pair supports positioned in spaced relation and supporting the opposed ends of the horizontal member, the supports being a pair of hollow support posts each having a side wall that defines an interior cavity with a vertical opening through which one of the opposed ends of the horizontal member extends into the interior cavity, the horizontal member being movable vertically along the vertical opening between a raised barrier position and a lowered access position;
- springs biasing the horizontal member into the raised barrier position;
- a locking latch mechanism securing the horizontal member in the raised barrier position, the locking latch mechanism having a latch controlled by a solenoid;
- a wireless actuator capable of actuating the solenoid remotely to release the latch on the locking latch mechanism to enable pressure from vehicle tires to temporarily overcome the biasing force of the springs to move the horizontal member from the raised barrier position to the lowered access position to facilitate vehicle ingress and egress.
