Abstract:
A support post and safety fence assembly in which the post has a telescoping inner and outer tube and is supported on a threaded internal shaft coupled to a floor engaging end and ceiling engaging end preferably formed with claws that have a number of sharp penetrating points for firm engagement with a support surface. In one embodiment, a gravity lock assembly is provided for fixing the relative position of the inner and outer tubes. Dynamic adjustability of the support post is provided by internal compression springs.
Abstract:
A method is described for making a net structure (1) comprising net meshes provided by ropes (2, 3) which are joined together in the mesh corners, where the joining together is effected in such manner that the respective corners of each net mesh are provided in that each net mesh is formed of respective perpendicular ropes (2, 3), of which the one rope (2, 3) has threaded therethrough the second rope (3, 2) and the second rope has threaded therethrough the first rope, the sequence between threading-through of rope and threaded-through rope being provided so as to be alternating such that a rope is first threaded through a perpendicular rope, and at a suitable distance from the threading-through, depending on the mesh size, has threaded therethrough a second perpendicular rope that is parallel to the first rope, thereby providing in each mesh corner a fastening together of the ropes when parallel ropes are brought together so that a threaded-through rope rests against a perpendicular, threaded-through rope. A net structure made by the method is also described.
Abstract:
A fall prevention apparatus (410) for use adjacent a perimeter of an area. The fall prevention apparatus comprises a plurality of panels (440) and support means (14) for supporting the panels. The apparatus comprises a mounting arrangement (411) on the support means for mounting the panels thereon. The mounting arrangement projects from the support means to hold the panels spaced from the support means.
Abstract:
An adjustable panel connector (100, 300) for interconnecting two mesh panels (105) of a barricade and/or guarding system. The adjustable panel connector (100, 300) comprises a first body element (102, 302) including at least one first panel fastening arrangement (106, 108, 311); a second body element (104, 304) including at least one second panel fastening arrangement (106, 108, 311), the first body element (102, 302) and the second body element (104, 304) being interconnected along and about a connection axis (X-X, Y-Y); and a pivot locking arrangement (110, 301) configured to lock the first body element (102, 302) at a selected angle relative to the second body element (104, 304) about the connection axis (X-X, Y-Y).
Abstract:
A support post comprising first and second elongate members, a ceiling engaging member at the upper end of the first elongate member and a floor engaging member at the lower end of the second elongate member. A spring biases the ceiling engaging member away from the upper end of the first elongate member. A lock maintains the spring in a compressed configuration. When in its unlocked position the lock releases the spring and permits it to apply a biasing force to the ceiling engaging member, urging the ceiling engaging member away from the upper end of the first elongate member. A latch is secured to the first elongate member and permits telescopic movement between the elongate members when said lock is in its locked position. The latch engages the second elongate member when the lock is in its unlocked position and resists relative telescopic movement between the elongate members.
Abstract:
A barricade system (100) comprising at least one dip (102) having a first engagement formation (104A, 105A) adapted to secure the clip (102) to a fixed structure, the clip further having a second engagement formation (104C, 105G). The system (100) includes a joiner element (106) having a third engagement formation (106A) located on a first side, and a fourth engagement formation (106B) located on an opposing second side, the third engagement formation (106A) being adapted to engage the second engagement formation (104C, 105G) to secure the joiner element (106) to the clip (102). The system (100) includes at least one mesh panel (101) and a stopper element (107) having a fifth engagement formation (107A). The fifth engagement formation (107A) is engageable with the fourth engagement formation (106B) to secure the stopper element (107) to the joiner element (106) with a portion of the mesh panel (101) located therebwtween.
Abstract:
Provided is a screen assembly (21) for connection to a scaffolding (10), comprises an upper screen part (23) and a lower screen part (22). The lower part is for connection to the scaffolding adjacent a walk way (16), and is arranged to be positionable adjacent the walk way such that it is substantially vertical. The upper part is positionable substantially in line with the lower part so as to form a contiguous screen assembly. The upper part is arranged for connection to scaffolding adjacent the walk way and is to be manually removable from its operative position while at the same time leaving the lower part in its operative position. Thus, the assembly enables a worker to reach over the lower part to carry out tasks. Each screen part may be formed of a plastic covered mesh panel forming about half of the assembly. Rail connection means may be provided for the panels to connect to respective rails of the scaffolding and the panels "may include co-operating panel to panel couplings.
