Abstract: An impact absorbing post (100, 102, 104) comprising a first layer (20), second layer (30) and a third layer (40) formed as a mono-structure (10) and having a length (L). The third layer (40) is configured for being mounted to a supporting substrate (60) so the second layer (30) and first layer (20) extend in a direction away from the supporting substrate (60). The second layer (30) is more flexible than the first layer (20) or third layer (40) to thereby form a pivotable link between the first layer (20) and third layer (40).

Abstract: A mono-structure (10) comprising a first layer (20) and a second layer (30). The first layer (20) has molecular continuity with the second layer (30). Each of the first layer (20) and second layer (30) have a characteristic mechanical property. The value of the characteristic mechanical property of the first layer (20) is different to the value of the characteristic mechanical property of the second layer (30).

Abstract: An anchor assembly (20, 420) for receiving a fixing member (110). The assembly (20, 420) may comprise a shell (22, 422) with a substrate engagement surface (24, 424). The shell (22, 422) defines a passage (26, 426) configured to receive the fixing member (110). The passage (26, 426) extends from a trailing edge end (28, 428) of the shell (22, 422) towards a leading edge end (30, 430) of the shell (22, 422) along an alignment axis (10). There is also provided an engagement member (50, 450) and a resilient member (40, 440) located in the passage (26, 426). The resilient member (40, 440) is mounted in the passage (26, 426) such that it is fixed relative to the passage (26, 426) and such that an end (46, 446) of the resilient member (40, 440) is moveable with the engagement member (50, 450) along the passage (26, 426).

Abstract: There is provided a kerb barrier comprising: a first barrier member having a length, the first barrier defining a cavity; and a second barrier member in the cavity of the first barrier that extends substantially along the length of the first barrier member, wherein a base of the second barrier member is fixable to a base of the first barrier member, wherein, upon side impact, a region of the first barrier member is configured to bend relative to the second barrier member about a first bending point defined by the first barrier member, wherein the first barrier member is configured to act on the second barrier member such that the region of the first barrier member and a region of the second barrier member are configured to bend about a second bending point defined by the second barrier member, wherein the second bending point is spaced apart from the first bending point.
