Problems solved by technology

Because of the disposition and spacing of the spikes, a person is unlikely to be able to obtain a good grip on the top of the structure to facilitate scaling and crossing the structure and therefore is deterred from any attempt to scale the structure.
Since the deterrent is due to preventing a good grip which would facilitate scaling of the structure, the deterr

Embodiment Construction

[0109] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, one embodiment of a spiked barrier 10 is shown which comprises a base 12 formed from an angled section having a first portion 14 and a second portion 16 arranged at a 90° angle to the first portion 14. The portions 14 and 16 have holes 18 for receiving fasteners such as nails or screws to secure the barrier 10 to a structure such as a paling fence shown in FIG. 4. Alternatively, an adhesive may be used to fasten the spiked barrier 10 to a structure. Adhesion is improved by allowing adhesive to flow into the holes 18 and to cure.

[0110] In FIG. 4, nails or screws can be located through the openings 18 shown in FIG. 4 so that the portion 16 is vertical and the portion 14 is horizontal. If desired, the barrier 10 can be arranged in the other orientation with the portion 14 vertical and the portion 16 horizontal.

[0111] The portion 14 and the portion 16 have a plurality of spikes 20 arranged in side-by-side relationship. The portion 14 has two line...

Abstract

A low-harm spiked barrier for a structure such as a fence is disclosed which has a base having spikes. The spikes are spaced apart by a distance less than that required to obtain a finger grip or a foothold on the base between the spikes. The spikes are slightly rounded so the spikes will not likely cause permanent injury and the spikes also provide a psychological deterrent if someone attempting to scale the structure on which the spiked barrier is mounted.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims benefit of Australian provisional application no. 2006902483 filed on 11 May 2006 and entitled “SPIKED BARRIER”. The Australian provisional application is incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to a low-harm spiked barrier for mounting on a structure such as a fence, wall or other barrier to deter human intruders and also to prevent animals from walking on the structure or climbing over the structure. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The use of deterrent security elements on barriers is known and can comprise coiled barb wire, straight lengths of barb wire, embedded glass or other sharp objects and pointed spikes. In general, such elements are designed to prevent humans from scaling and crossing a barrier by causing injury to the person should the person attempt to scale the barrier. In most instances, these types of barrier elements are successful in preventing people from scaling t...
