Abstract
A noise barrier is described having noise barrier panels capable of being moved by the force of wind from a dosed to an open position to allow passage of wind, so that the noise barrier has limited wind load. The noise barrier can be light weight because wind load on the noise barrier is limited. This provides that the noise barrier is easy to erect, possibly without requiring heavy machinery. The noise barrier panel is mounted on a mounting pole to be slide-able on the mounting pole, so that the noise barrier panel can be pushed from ground up.
Claims20
A noise barrier comprising:
- at least one noise barrier panel which is adapted for being moved by a wind force to allow passage of wind thereby wherein:
- the at least one noise barrier panel has a closed position for providing a barrier to noise;
- the at least one noise barrier panel has an open position to allow passage of wind;
- the at least one noise barrier panel is capable of being moved by the force of wind from the closed position to the open position;
- and
- the at least one noise barrier panel is foldable for being moved from the closed position to the open position.
A noise barrier comprising
- at least one mounting pole;
- at least one noise barrier panel mounted on the at least one mounting pole to be slide-able upwardly along the mounting pole.
A noise barrier kit, comprising
- at least one mounting pole;
- at least one noise barrier panel adapted for mounting onto the at least one mounting pole so as to be slide-able upwardly along the mounting pole.
A noise barrier panel comprising an inflatable body suitable for mounting onto a mounting pole, such that
- the mounted noise barrier panel is capable of being moved by the force of wind to allow passage of wind;
- wherein
- the at least one noise barrier panel has a closed position for providing barrier to noise;
- the at least one noise barrier panel has an open position to allow passage of wind;
- wherein
- the at least one noise barrier panel is capable of being moved by the force of wind from the closed position to the open position;
- and
- the noise barrier panel is capable of folding to move from the closed position to the open position.
A method of installing a noise barrier comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one mounting pole;
- providing a first noise barrier panel;
- mounting the first noise barrier panel onto the at least one mounting pole;
- sliding the first noise barrier panel upwardly along the at least one mounting pole.
