Abstract
A device for inhibiting parking or travel on pavement, comprising an elongated barrier member that is hingedly affixed to a support bolted or otherwise securely attached to the pavement. The barrier member can be oriented in two positions, one which the barrier member is prone to allow traffic to pass thereover, and a second which the barrier member is essentially upright to inhibit travel. A brace extends between the barrier member and the support and resiliently retains the barrier member in the upright orientation to absorb the impact of a vehicle.
Claims19
A collapsible, cushioned barricade comprising
- a. a fixed, generally horizontal support,
- b. an elongated barrier member,
- c. hinge means pivotally securing said barrier member to said fixed support so that said barrier member may be positioned in one of two orientations, a first orientation where said barrier member is essentially prone and a second orientation where said barrier member is essentially upright, and
- d. a brace extending between said barrier member and said support, said brace being slidably secured to said barrier member and pivotally secured to said support such that when said barrier member is in said second orientation said brace is inclined relative to said barrier member, and said brace including resilient means permitting temporary displacement of said barrier member by compression of said brace when said barrier member is in said second orientation, said resilient means further returning said barrier member to said second orientation after such temporary displacement.

A collapsible, cushioned barricade comprising
- a. a fixed, generally horizontal support,
- b. an elongaed barrier member,
- c. hinge means pivotally securing said barrier member to said fixed support so that said barrier member may be positioned in one of two orientations, a first orientation where said barrier member is essentially prone and a second orientation where said barrier member is essentially upright, and
- d. a movable brace extending between said barrier member and said support, said brace being pivotally secured to said support and including means slideably securing said brace to said barrier member,
- e. means for fastening said brace to said barrier member when said barrier member is in said second orientation with said brace being inclined relative to said barrier member, and
- f. resilient means associated with said brace for permitting temporary pivotal displacement of said barrier member about said hinge means by compression of said brace when said barrier member is in said second orientation, said resilient means further returning said barrier member to said second orientation after such temporary pivotal displacement.
