Abstract
A construction safety screen (1) has structural capacity to wall predetermined portions of or entire worker-area precipices which include apertures and edges of under-construction buildings and scaffolding against accidental falling. Included are a fastening border (7), fasteners (12, 13, 14, 28, 43), netting apertures (5), netting material (6), visibility coloring and size adaptors. It can be rolled up for light-weight shipping or storage and unrolled easily and conveniently for use and reuse.
Claims12
A construction safety system that is sized and shaped to wall precipices, predeterminedly against accidental falling of individuals and objects therefrom, comprising:
- a construction safety screen having see-through apertures sized to resist passage of a human body and objects surrounded by netting material having strength to support weight of the human body predeterminedly;
- a fastening border which surrounds the construction safety screen with border strength for fastening the construction safety screen to a structure predeterminedly;
- fasteners that detachably attach the construction safety screen to predetermined structures proximate precipices;
- attachment lines adapted to extend with adjustable length of extension intermediate a structure and the fastening border;
- the fastening border, the fasteners and the attachment lines having predetermined composite strength and reliability of interconnection to restrain accidental falling of individuals and objects from precipices;
- and
- predetermined coloration of the construction safety screen, the fastening border and the attachment lines for visibility of fall-protective attachment of the construction safety screen to predetermined structure proximate precipices, wherein
- the attachment lines include predeterminedly quick-disconnect lines having first line ends attached to building-structure fasteners and second line ends attached to the fastening border;
- the first line ends being attachable to the building-structure fasteners and the second line ends being attached to the fastening border with predetermined quick disconnections;
- and
- lengths of extension of the quick-disconnect lines intermediate the building-structure fasteners and the fastening border being adjustable with length of the quick-disconnect lines intermediate the quick disconnections on the quick-disconnect lines and the quick disconnections on the fastening border.
A construction safety system that is sized and shaped to wall precipices predeterminedly against accidental falling of individuals and objects therefrom, comprising:
- the construction safety screen including see-through apertures sized to resist passage of a human body and objects and surrounded by netting material having strength to support weight of the human body predeterminedly;
- a fastening border which surrounds the safety screen with border strength for fastening the construction safety screen to a structure predeterminedly;
- fasteners that detachably attach the safety screen to predetermined structures proximate precipices;
- attachment lines adapted to extend with adjustable length of extension intermediate a structure and the fastening border;
- the fastening border, the fasteners and the attachment lines having predetermined composite strength and reliability of interconnection to restrain accidental falling of individuals and objects from precipices;
- and
- predetermined coloration of the construction safety screen, the fastening border and the attachment lines for visibility of fall-protective attachment of the construction safety screen to the predetermined structure proximate precipices;
- wherein,

- the fasteners include swivel snap rings that attach the construction safety screen to the structure;
- and
- eye bolts attached to the structure having fastener threading that is anchored detachably to the aperture structure predeterminedly, and further comprising,
- a fastener socket having a fastener bay proximate a bay end and a socket-wrench connection on a wrench end;
- the fastener bay being sized and shaped to receive an eye portion of the eye bolts;
- the fastener bay being sized and shaped to receive a hook portion of the hook bolts;
- and
- the socket-wrench connection being sized and shaped to receive a predetermined wrench socket for rotation of the fastener socket with the wrench socket and a socket-wrench handle attached thereto;
- eye bolts attached to the structure having fastener threading that is anchored detachably to the aperture structure predeterminedly.
A construction safety system that is sized and shaped to wall precipices predeterminedly against accidental falling of individuals and objects therefrom, comprising:
- a construction safety screen having see-through apertures sized to resist passage of a human body surrounded by netting material having strength to support weight of the human body predeterminedly;
