Abstract
A barrier system is provided for fencing in or closing off a designated area. The barrier system includes a body including a longitudinal element extendable from the body to form a barrier between a first surface and a second surface. At least one coupling member is selectively connectable with the body between a first connection configuration such that the body is coupleable to the first surface or the second surface via the at least one coupling member and a second connection configuration such that the body is directly attachable to the first surface or the second surface. Systems and methods are disclosed.
Claims18
A barrier system, comprising:
- a reel body including a top end surface and a bottom end surface and a sidewall extending between the top end surface and the bottom end surface, at least one of the top end surface or the bottom end surface having a female mating part or a male mating part;
- a longitudinal element extendable from the body for forming a barrier between surfaces;
- and
- at least one coupling member having a first side and a second side having the other of the female mating part or the male mating part, the at least one coupling member being selectively connectable with the body between a first connection configuration in which the second side of the at least one coupling member is removably secured to the sidewall of the body such that the body is coupleable to a surface via the at least one coupling member, and a second connection configuration in which the other of the female mating part or the male mating part of the second side of the at least one coupling member is removably secured to a complimentary one of the female mating part or the male mating part of the at least one of the top end surface or the bottom end surface of the body such that the body is directly attachable to a surface.

A barrier system, comprising:
- a reel including a bottom end surface and a top end surface and a sidewall extending between the top end surface and the bottom end surface, at least one of the top end surface or the bottom end surface having a female mating part or a male mating part;
- a longitudinal element extending between a first end engaged with the reel and a second end having a connector for forming a barrier between surfaces, at least a portion of the reel being magnetic;
- and
- at least one coupling member having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the second side having the other of the female mating part or the male mating part, the first side including a suction cup, the at least one coupling member being selectively connectable with the reel between a first connection configuration in which the second side of the at least one coupling member is removably secured to the sidewall of the reel such that the reel is coupleable to a surface via the suction cup of the at least one coupling member, and a second connection configuration in which the other of the female mating part or the male mating part of the second side of the at least one coupling member is removably secured to a complimentary one of the female mating part or the male mating part of the at least one of the top end surface or the bottom end surface of the reel.

A barrier system for fencing in or closing off a designated area, comprising:
- a cylindrically-shaped reel extending between a top end and a bottom end and having a magnetic sidewall disposed therebetween, the reel defining a longitudinal axis between the top and bottom ends and including a tape extending between a first end disposed in the reel and a second end having a magnetic connector, the tape defining a longitudinal axis upon extension thereof that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the reel, at least one of the top end or the bottom end having a female mating part or a male mating part;
- a first coupling member having a first side and a second side, the first side including a suction cup configured for connection with a first fixed surface and the second side being connectable with the magnetic sidewall and at least one of the top or bottom ends of the reel, the second side having the other of the female mating part or the male mating part;
- and
- a second coupling member having a first side and a second side, the first side including a suction cup configured for connection with a second fixed surface and the second side being connectable with the magnetic connector and at least one of the top or bottom ends of the reel,
- wherein the first and second coupling members are selectively connectable with the reel between a first connection configuration in which the second side of the first coupling member is connected with the magnetic sidewall of the reel and the second side of the second coupling member is connected with the magnetic connector of the reel and a second connection configuration in which the other of the female mating part or the male mating part of the second side of the first coupling member is removably secured to a complimentary one of the female mating part or the male mating part of the at least one of the top or bottom ends of the reel, and the second side of the second coupling member is removably secured to the other of the top or bottom ends of the reel.
