摘要： Safety barriers such as guardrails, handrails, walkways, and platforms are found in a large variety of industrial commercial, residential and public sites typically consist of an open framework of horizontal, vertical or inclined pipes. However in some cases such open systems do not provide a sufficient barrier to prevent dropped objects such as tools from escaping the confines of the handrail system and creating a hazard. To address this deficiency a system for enclosing a safety barrier has been developed which includes a specially adapted bracket for attachment to posts such as stanchions, hand rails or knee rails and a guard panel which is attached to the bracket and is used to enclose the side walls of the safety barrier to reduce the dropped object hazard. The bracket has an open clipping configuration to allow it to clipped onto the stanchions (or other supports) and left in place. There bracket can then moved into a closed configuration and clamped in place, after which a guard panel can be mounted onto the bracket. The bracket has a number of safety advantages. Firstly as the bracket can be clipped in place the installer can safely work from within the confines of the walkway. Secondly once the bracket is clipped in place, the installer is free to let go of the bracket and can pick up other tools or perform other tasks, and is not required to continue to hold the bracket until it is clamped in place (and risk dropping either the bracket or tools). The system additionally comprises step guards for enclosing the vertical gap (rise) between steps, and floor brackets and flooring sheet for covering grid mesh floors.

摘要翻译： 在各种工业商业，住宅和公共场所都有安全屏障，如护栏，扶手，人行道和平台，通常由水平，垂直或倾斜管道的开放框架组成。 然而，在某些情况下，这种开放系统不能提供足够的屏障来防止诸如工具之类的掉落的物体逃离扶手系统的限制并造成危险。 为了解决这个缺陷，已经开发了一种用于封闭安全栅的系统，其中包括一个特别适用的支架，用于连接到诸如支柱，手轨或膝盖导轨之类的支柱，以及一个附着在支架上的保护板，用于将侧面 安全屏障的墙壁减少了对象的危害。 支架具有开放的夹紧配置，可以将其固定在支柱（或其他支撑）上并留在原位。 然后，支架可以移动到关闭的配置并夹紧就位，之后可以将保护面板安装到支架上。 支架具有许多安全的优点。 首先，由于支架可以夹在适当的位置，安装人员可以从走道的范围内安全地工作。 其次，一旦支架被固定就位，安装人员可以自由放开支架，并可以拿起其他工具或执行其他任务，并且不需要继续握住支架，直到其夹紧就位（并且风险降低） 支架或工具）。 该系统还包括用于封闭台阶之间的垂直间隙（上升）和用于覆盖网格网格地板的地板支架和地板片的步进保护装置。
