Benefits of technology
[0005]It is an aspect of the present device to provide a protective barrier, which can protect people and property from falling dust, debris and moisture, but also has the capacity to allow water from a fire suppression sprinkler system to gain access to a fire located below the protective barrier, when the barrier is subjected to elevated temperatures above a certain range.
Problems solved by technology
However, a problem can arise with this type or protective barrier when it is installed below a fire suppression sprinkler system, which is often required in order to meet performance expectations.
This type of installation can impair the flow of water from the fire suppression sprinkler system to a fire located beneath the protective barrier, which can prevent or impair the proper functioning of the fire suppression sprinkler system.

Embodiment Construction
[0019]This description of the exemplary embodiments is intended to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings, which are to be considered part of the entire written description. In the description, relative terms such as “lower,”“upper,”“horizontal,”“vertical,”, “above,”“below,”“up,”“down,”“top” and “bottom” as well as derivative thereof (e.g., “horizontally,”“downwardly,”“upwardly,” etc.) should be construed to refer to the orientation as then described or as shown in the drawing under discussion. These relative terms are for convenience of description and do not require that the apparatus be constructed or operated in a particular orientation. Terms concerning attachments, coupling and the like, such as “connected” and “interconnected,” refer to a relationship wherein structures are secured or attached to one another either directly or indirectly through intervening structures, as well as both movable or rigid attachments or relationships, unless expressly described othe...

Abstract
Protective barriers are commonly installed beneath ceilings when construction work is performed either on these ceilings or on the roofs located above them. These protective barriers can be comprised entirely of one material or of different materials connected by seams. Some or all of these materials can be designed to fail when subjected to temperatures above a certain temperature range causing melting or some other destructive process to occur to these materials. These failures can create access points from the ceiling through the protective barrier to areas below being protected by the barrier, which can allow water from a fire suppression system, typically located near the ceiling, to reach a fire located below the protective barrier.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. nonprovisional patent application Ser. No. 12 / 616,817 filed Nov. 12, 2009, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, which claims benefit to U.S. provisional application No. 61 / 243,866 filed Sep. 18, 2009, which is also incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. This application also claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application No. 61 / 769,659 filed Feb. 26, 2013, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present device relates to protective barriers that are typically installed beneath ceilings during construction work being performed on the ceilings or roofs of buildings. Such a protective barrier can be comprised of sections connected by seams. These seams or any other part of such protective barriers can be designed to fail and create openings through these protective barriers when subjected to tempera...
