Definitions
- This invention relates to a clip for a barrier.
- the invention has particular, but non-limiting, use as a component in a visual safety warning barrier or in a guide barrier to identify allowable and/or prohibited traffic areas.
- Prior art solutions to provide this warning include scaffold-type constructions around the exterior of the building or a "post and rail" or mesh-type barrier secured between the extremities of the relevant area. These solutions are usually constructed of metal piping or similar and secured together by various means including nuts and bolts, saddle clamps, clevis pins and pivot pins retained with cotter pins. Disadvantages of these prior art solutions are that they are heavy, relatively expensive to manufacture, are actually semipermanent in their application and thus relatively time-consuming in their erection and dismantling and, despite their bulk, rarely are infallible in preventing injury to a person working at or near the relevant area and therefore, at best, remain simply a warning barrier. It would therefore be advantageous to provide a warning barrier which is at least lighter in weight, less costly to manufacture and easier to deploy.
- a portable barrier clip for removable attachment to an elongated member, said clip comprising: a retaining collar having a first end, a body member depending from said first end and terminating in a second end, said second end being spaced from said first end to define an open segment of said retaining collar, said body member having an interior surface substantially complementary in configuration to the exterior surface of said elongated member; and a securing means fixed to said body member for securing a chain, tape, rope, wire or band; characterised in that: for operative connection and disengagement of said clip to said elongated member, said body member can readily flex to expand said open section sufficient to enable said body member to be placed over or removed from said elongated member, said body member for said operative connection being adapted to retract so that substantially the entire length of said interior surface of said body member mates with said exterior surface of said elongated member sufficient to retain said clip on said elongated member.
- said securing means is an open hook or similar.
- said securing means is a closed eyelet or similar.
- a set of components for a barrier said components comprising at least two of said clips as hereinbefore described.
- said set of components for a barrier includes at least one said clip with a said securing means being said open hook or similar, and at least one second said clip with a said securing means being said closed eyelet or similar.
- said set of components for a barrier includes a multiple of said clips of various dimensions to accommodate operative connection to said elongated members of various configurations.
- a portable barrier comprising: two said elongated members such as stanchions or similar to be used to define the extremities of said barrier; two of said clips for connection to respective said elongated members; and a length of chain, tape, rope, wire, band orsimilarthat can be connected between said two clips.
- said barrier is a visual safety warning barrier.
- said barrier is a guide barrier to identify allowable and/or prohibited traffic areas.
- said chain is a metal or plastic chain.
- said chain is a plastic chain.
- said plastic chain is coloured, the colour selected being indicative of the purpose of said barrier.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic transverse cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the clip of the invention attached to a tubular member of circular cross-section
- FIG. 2 is a schematic transverse cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the clip of the invention attached to a tubular member of square cross-section
- FIG. 1 is a schematic transverse cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the clip of the invention attached to a tubular member of circular cross-section
- FIG. 2 is a schematic transverse cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the clip of the invention attached to a tubular member of square cross-section
- FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the clips illustrated in FIGS. 1 & 2 used as components in a guide barrier to identify allowable and/or prohibited traffic areas.
- a clip (1 ) is attached to a round pipe-like tubular member (2) of diameter D.
- the clip (1 ) has a curved body member (3) with spaced first (4) and second (5) ends to define an open segment (6).
- the diameter of the body member (3) as determined with reference to its interior surface (7) is substantially identical to the diameter D of the tubular member (2).
- An open hook (8) extends from the outer surface (9) of the body member (3) to accommodate the link (10) of a chain (FIG. 3).
- the clip (1 ) is conveniently manufactured from a plastics material.
- the tubular member (2) In use, to affix the clip (1 ), the tubular member (2) is urged through the open segment (6) causing the first (4) and second (5) ends to flex outwards in respective directions U and V.
- the interior surface (7) of the body member (3) mates with the exterior surface (1 1 ) of the tubular member (2) as the ends (4,5) return to their initial positions, thus retaining the clip (1 ) on the tubular member (2).
- the ends (4,5) again flex in their respective directions U and V enabling release of the clip (1 ).
- a clip (11 ) is attached to a pipe-like tubular member (12) of square cross-section of diameter E.
- the clip (11 ) has a body member (13) of square cross-section with spaced first (14) and second (15) ends to define an open segment (16).
- the diameter of the body member (13) as determined with reference to its interior surface (17) is substantially identical to the diameter E of the tubular member (12).
- a closed eyelet (18) extends from the outer surface (19) of the body member (13) to accommodate the link (20) of a chain (FIG. 3).
- the clip (11 ) is conveniently manufactured from a plastics material.
- the tubular member (12) In use, to affix the clip (1 1 ), the tubular member (12) is urged through the open segment (16) causing the first (14) and second (15) ends to flex outwards in respective directions S and T.
- the interior surface (17) of the body member (13) mates with the exterior surface (21 ) of the tubular member (12) as the ends (14,15) return to their initial positions, thus retaining the clip (11 ) on the tubular member (12).
- the barrier (22) illustrated in FIG. 3 comprises: a first stanchion (23) of circular cross-section to which the clip (1 ) of FIG. 1 is attached; a second section (24) of square cross-section to which the clip (1 1 ) of FIG. 2 is attached; and a plastic chain (25), having one link (20) at one end permanently fixed to the eyelet (18) of the clip (1 1 ) on stanchion (24), and another link (10) at its other end removably fixed to the hook (8) of the clip (1 ) on stanchion (23).
- the barrier (22) can function as a guide barrier to identify allowable and/or prohibited traffic areas, such uses being well known in theatres, airports and the like. Should a person require to pass through the barrier (22) in normal circumstances, the chain (25) can readily be detached from the hook (8), and the chain (25) dropped, thus creating a passageway between the stanchions (23,24).
- the pressure applied to the chain (25) as such people push against the chain (25) is sufficient for the clips (1 ,1 1 ) to be easily disengaged from their respective stanchions (23,24), allowing the clips (1 ,11 ) and chain (25) to drop to the floor and creating the necessary passageway between the stanchions (23,24).
- the present invention thus offers a number of advantages over the prior art which include: has multiple uses, including: as a component in a visual safety warning barrier; and as a component in a guide barrier to identify allowable and/or prohibited traffic areas; light weight in construction; less costly to manufacture; easier to deploy; and can provide a barrier which may be readily disengaged in an emergency.
