A temporary barrier system particularly adapted for use in or around a home in which children who are learning to walk are provided with wheeled vehicles that may be propelled by the child and run or bumped into furniture or other valuable objects. The protection system includes two elements: an elongated bar and a stanchion or supporting member. The stanchions are provided with some means for resisting movement from the position in which they are initially placed. The stanchion has a plurality of openings or slots which are designed to support the ends of the elongated bars. At least two of the openings are perpendicular to one another; others are formed at acute angles to the perpendicularly disposed openings. The cross section of the slot and the elongated bar are designed so that the bar fits tightly in the slot providing some rigidity to the assembly. By placing elongated members of different length in slots at different angles, a variety of shapes may be formed.
A barricade system comprising, in combination, at least two elongated stop bars and at least one more stanchion than the number of stop bars, each of said stanchions supporting one end of one of said stop bars above the surface on which the stanchions are placed so as to prevent the movement of a wheeled vehicle beyond the stop bars, each of said stanchions including a plurality of slots for receiving at least a portion of at least one elongated stop bar, at least two of said slots extending from one edge of said stanchion to the other edge and intersecting substantially perpendicularly, at least one other slot intersecting one of said perpendicular slots at an angle less than 90 degrees.
A fence system to prevent a child in a wheeled vehicle from bumping into valuable objects within a house or other area that has a relatively flat riding surface comprising a plurality of posts and horizontally disposed bars,
A protection system to prevent wheeled vehicles from making contact with an object comprising a plurality of supporting means and elongated rigid stop means, each of said stop means having one end resting on one of said supporting means and the other end resting on another spaced apart supporting means, each of said supporting means including a plurality of rest means, each of said rest means comprising an elongated opening for receiving the end of one of said stop means at least one of said openings extending from one of the edges to the other edge, each of said openings disposed at an angle to at least one of the other openings, whereby a series of said supporting means and stop means form a fence of selected shape and length.
