Abstract
A barrier device comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, opposed end walls, and, opposed sidewalls each including an elongated, vertically extending curb reveal connected to the bottom wall, a substantially vertically extending upper section connected to the top wall, an angled intermediate section connected at one end to the upper section, and, a substantially horizontally extending step connected between the other end of the intermediate section and the curb reveal. Each wall is formed of a resilient plastic, and the walls are interconnected to define a hollow interior which can be filled with a ballast material such as water, sand, rubber, concrete and the like.
Claims15
A barrier device comprising:
- a bottom wall, a top wall, opposed sidewalls and opposed end walls interconnected to collectively define a hollow interior adapted to be at least partially filled with a selected material;
- each of said sidewalls including:
- (i) a substantially vertically extending curb reveal connected to said bottom wall;
- (ii) a substantially vertically extending upper section connected to said top wall;
- (iii) an angled intermediate section having a first end connected to said upper section and a second end;
- and
- (iv) a substantially horizontal step extending continuously from one end wall to the opposite end wall and being connected between said second end of said intermediate section and said curb reveal.

An apparatus for forming a barrier wall comprising:
- a number of individual barrier devices, each of said barrier devices including:
- (i) a bottom wall, a top wall, opposed sidewalls and opposed end walls interconnected to collectively define a hollow interior adapted to be at least partially filled with a selected material;
- (ii) each of said sidewalls including a substantially vertically extending curb reveal connected to said bottom wall, a substantially vertically extending upper section connected to said top wall, an angled intermediate section having a first end connected to said upper section and a second end, and, a substantially horizontally extending step extending continuously from one end wall to the opposite end wall and being connected between said second end of said intermediate section and said curb reveal;
- one of said end walls of each barrier device being formed with a recess extending vertically upwardly from said bottom wall along a portion of said one end wall, and the other of said end walls being formed with an extension mateable with said recess whereby said extension of one barrier device can be connected to the recess of an adjacent barrier device.

- (i) a bottom wall, a top wall, opposed sidewalls and opposed end walls interconnected to collectively define a hollow interior adapted to be at least partially filled with a selected material;
- (ii) each of said sidewalls including a substantially vertically extending curb reveal connected to said bottom wall, a substantially vertically extending upper section connected to said top wall, an angled intermediate section having a first end connected to said upper section and a second end, and, a substantially horizontally extending step extending continuously from one end wall to the opposite end wall and being connected between said second end of said intermediate section and said curb reveal;
- said end walls of each barrier device, and a portion of said top wall thereof, being formed with a slot, said slot in one end wall of one barrier device being alignable with and substantially parallel to the slot in an end wall of an adjacent barrier device to form a locking channel when said barrier devices are oriented end-to-end;
- a coupler insertable within said locking channel to interconnect and permit pivotal movement between said adjacent barrier devices.
