Benefits of technology

[0015] The frame includes a manually operated rewind system both to apply tension to the net so it establishes a taut barrier when deployed and to rewind the net after use. The rewind system includes a gear train that provides a mechanical advantage to facilitate the manual rewinding of the net onto the core. The system also includes a one

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows the portable safety barrier apparatus of the present invention generally indicated at 10. The apparatus includes a frame or housing 12 formed by a generally tubular outer shell 14. The shell lower end 16 has or is releaseably received in a supply side holder 18. An auger 20 extends from a lower surface of the supply side holder 18 to facilitate the anchoring of the main housing to ground. The housing 12 represents the main support post of the barrier.

[0032] As seen in FIGS. 3 and 5, the supply side holder 18 can be screwed, or augered into the ground via the auger 20. The supply side holder 18 includes a cup or sleeve shape recess to receive the frame 10. The supply side holder 18 can include a pair of collinear apertures 19 sized to receive a lever or rod 62 for increasing leverage on the auger 20 to assist in engaging the ground.

[0033] The outer shell 14 has an elongated slot 22. Extending through the slot is a barrier net 24. The n...

Abstract

A portable safety barrier that can be set up across a drive way or other path to provide a visible and physical indication of a safe zone boundary particularly for children. Netting attached to a core or reel disposed in a housing forms the barrier. The netting is free to deploy from the housing for attachment to a remote post; both the housing and post including an auger for anchoring the housing and post to ground. The housing has a rewind system to reel in the netting which includes a gear train for mechanical advantage. The rewind system operates manually and with out a bias assist. A selectively operated stop cooperates with the rewind system to tighten the netting after deployment and keeps the netting taut.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO A “SEQUENCE LISTING”[0003] Not applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] The present invention relates generally to a barrier as may be set up as a temporary boundary to discourage movement into or out of a restricted or dangerous area. More particularly, the invention relates to a portable apparatus used to set a barrier that works to identify the boundary of a safe zone, particularly for children, and to discourage passage into or out of the zone. [0006] 2. Description of Related Art [0007] Children at play are often oblivious to dangers inherent in spontaneous activity. For example, children often are apt to pursue a ball, toy or pet and not recognize that the pursuit is leading to an unsafe area. For this reason, various types of apparatus are available to set temporary barriers to...
