Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a barrier post and in particular, but not exclusively, a barrier post for use in a personnel barrier system.
  • Personnel barrier systems are used in many situations to control the movement of people, for example for pedestrian guidance, to control queues, and to restrict movement and/or access.
  • Such barrier systems typically include a set of barrier posts that can be interconnected by ropes, tapes or rails.
  • Each barrier post includes an upright column supported by a heavy base to prevent the column from tipping over.
  • Personnel barrier systems are sometimes used in shops, for example to control queues at tills. Such a situation provides an ideal opportunity for marketing goods or services, or advertising generally.
  • existing barrier systems are not well suited to this purpose.
  • a barrier post for a personnel barrier system including a column that, in use, is arranged substantially vertically, a support base at the lower end of the column and a divider assembly towards the upper end of the column, wherein the column is at least partially hollow and has an internal chamber defined by a circumferential wall, said wall being at least partially transparent.
  • substantially the entire column is made of a transparent material, which is preferably a clear plastics material, for example polycarbonate.
  • the column preferably comprises a substantially cylindrical tube.
  • chamber extends substantially the entire length of the column.
  • the barrier post may include a support member for insertion into the chamber.
  • the support member preferably comprises a rigid tube. This ensures that any printed materials inserted into the column are supported correctly.
  • the divider assembly may include a retractable tape cartridge.
  • the divider assembly may use ropes, chains or rails.
  • the divider assembly is removable to provide access to the chamber.
  • a column for a barrier post as defined above, the column being at least partially hollow and having an internal chamber defined by a circumferential wall, said wall being at least partially transparent, the column having at a first end thereof a receiving means for a divider assembly and at a second end thereof locating means for a support base.
  • the receiving means includes a substantially cylindrical wall having at least one opening therein.
  • the opening preferably comprises a slot that extends axially from the first end of the column.
  • the barrier post 2 comprises a support base 4, a column 6, a tape cartridge 8 and a support tube 9.
  • the tape cartridge 8 is of a conventional design and includes a substantially cylindrical housing 10 having two support ribs 12 that extend radially outwards from the cylindrical wall of the housing.
  • a divider tape is wound onto a spring-loaded reel (not shown) that is mounted within the housing and extends outwards through a slot in one of the ribs.
  • a connector device 14 is attached to the free end of the tape.
  • a complementary attachment formation 16 is provided on the other rib 12, on the opposite side of the housing.
  • the divider tape can be extended from the top of one post and connected to the attachment formation on another post a few metres away, thereby creating a personnel barrier.
  • the column 6, which is shown in detail in figure 2, is made of a transparent rigid plastics material such as polycarbonate and comprises a hollow cylindrical tube with an upper end 18 and a lower end 20.
  • the cylindrical wall of the column 6 defines an internal chamber 22 that extends substantially the entire length of the column 6.
  • the column is approximately 950mm in length and has a diameter of approximately 65mm.
  • the support tube 9 is made of a rigid plastic material and is slightly smaller in diameter and length than the column, allowing it to fit into the chamber 22, as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the tube 9 may be used to support a rolled sheet of paper or similar printed material (for example a poster) within the chamber 22, allowing a design (for example, an advertisement, pattern or colour) printed on the paper to be seen through the clear walls of the column 6.
  • formations 24 are provided for receiving the tape cartridge 8.
  • the receiving formations 24 comprise two symmetrical U-shaped slots, provided on opposite sides of the column.
  • the slots are approximately 80mm in length and approximately 8mm wide.
  • the tape cartridge 8 fits into the top of the column and is aligned and supported by means of the two ribs 12, which fit into the slots.
  • locating formations are provided for locating the column in the support base 4.
  • the locating formations include two symmetrical U-shaped slots 26 provided on opposite sides of the tube and two square windows 28, which are situated approximately 20mm above the lower end 20 of the column.
  • the column 6 is inserted into the passageway 34, so that the slots 26 at the base of the column are aligned with the ribs 38. The column 6 is then pushed downward so that the base and column both deform slightly, allowing the detents 36 to engage the windows 28. A tool may be provided for depressing the detents to allow the column to be removed from the base.
  • a printed sheet (a poster, advertisement or other suitable material) is then wrapped around the support tube 9 and inserted into the chamber 22 within the column 6.
  • the tape cartridge 8 is then located in the upper end 18 of the column, thereby sealing the printed sheet within the column.
  • the clear walls of the column 6 allow the printed sheet to be seen. This allows the barrier post to be used for advertising purposes, or it may simply be coloured or patterned to complement the colour scheme of its surroundings.
  • the support tube 9 is an optional component and may be omitted. If the rolled sheet of paper or printed matter is sufficiently resilient, it will support itself when placed in the column 6, so that it fits exactly to the inner surface of the column.
  • the printed sheet and the support tube may be omitted and the chamber 22 may instead be filled with other items to produce different effects.
  • the tube can be filled with small objects (e.g. sweets or lottery balls) for marketing purposes, or with battery powered lights, or with other materials that produce an aesthetically pleasing effect.
  • the lower end of the tube is sealed, it may be filled water or other liquids, which may be coloured, or filled with bubbles or floating objects (in the manner of a decorative "lava lamp").
  • the tape cartridge 8 can be replaced with supports for other types of divider, such as ropes, rails and chains, and the support base may be removable or permanently attached.
  • the top and base of the column can be modified to receive different shaped divider supports and bases.
  • the shape and size of the column may also be varied.
  • the column may be only partially clear, for example including a clear upper part and an opaque lower part, or it may include a number of clear windows.
