Estimating the term…
Protector bollards, barrier posts and barrier bails are commonly used to protect structures from accidental collisions from vehicles operating in the area. However, they are regularly damaged by such collisions, and once they are damaged the protection they provide is much reduced, and repairs are often complex and expensive. The inventions provide bollards, posts and rails that include resilient members that are designed to absorb the energy from typical collision impacts without being permanently deformed. The use of resilient materials, and the allowance for a degree of flexure, allows the bollards, posts or rails to move to some degree while absorbing the collision loads, and then to return to their original shape or orientation without the need for expensive repairs.
A protector bollard having a base member and a post member;
The protector bollard as claimed 1, wherein the connection between the upper end of the tie member and the upper tie plate is adjustable and configured to allow the or each resilient member to be compressed between the bottom plate of the post member and the upper tie plate.
