Abstract
A portable barrier installation system and release mechanism is provided. A support frame comprising a first support arch is coupled on each end to a first and second support base. A second support arch, parallel to the first support arch, is coupled on each end to the first and second support base. A hopper assembly is coupled to the support frame. Rotation of the hopper assembly causes the hopper assembly to be in a fill or storage position. A release mechanism facilitates the release and placement of filled bags.
Claims18
A portable barrier installation system, comprising:
- a support frame;
- a hopper assembly coupled to the support frame, the hopper assembly comprising one or more hopper sheets coupled to one or more hopper arms, the one or more hopper sheets including a bag attachment section for receiving a plurality of bag hangers;
- and
- a release mechanism coupled at opposite ends to one of the one or more hopper arms and the support frame, the release mechanism adapted to selectively lock the hopper sheets in an extended position,
- wherein the support frame comprises first and second support members, wherein the first support member is coupled to a first side of the hopper assembly, wherein the second support member is coupled to a second side of the hopper assembly, the second side of the hopper assembly positioned opposite the first side of the hopper assembly.
A release mechanism for a portable barrier installation system, comprising:
- a hopper arm lock coupled to a hopper brace mount;
- and
- the hopper brace mount coupled to a support frame, wherein pivoting the hopper arm lock into a fully extended position causes a hopper assembly to rotate to an open position for receiving fill material into a bag, and wherein pivoting the hopper arm lock into a broken position causes the hopper assembly to rotate around a crossbar for releasing a bag received by the hopper assembly, wherein the release mechanism is contained within a housing.
A portable barrier installation system, comprising:
- a support frame comprising:
- a first support arch coupled on each end to a first support base and a second support base;
- and
- a second support arch, parallel to the first support arch, coupled on each end to the first support base and the second support base;
- and
- a hopper assembly coupled to the support frame, the hopper assembly comprising one or more hopper sheets coupled to one or more hopper arms and pivotably coupled to a crossbar passing through the one or more hopper arms, the crossbar coupled on each end to the support frame, such that rotation of the hopper assembly with respect to the crossbar causes the hopper assembly to be in a fill or storage position.
