Abstract

A post protector which is attached to any type of obstacle sited on the public highways, the protector will be secured to lamp posts, poles, etc. by means of a harness. Protectors are in the form of fenders which can be filled, or inflated or be inside a container secured to the lower part of the obstacle ready to be inflated in the invent of an accident, by means of an airbag assembly which includes a sensing device. The post protector can be made up of segments and a variety of materials such as leather, rubber, plastics, polythenes etc. The post protector can also be fitted with reflectors and can be moulded to suit the application.

Description

Title: POST-PROTECTORS Description of the invention This invention relates to Lamp posts, Telegraph poles, Trees, Road signs, Control boxes or any other items which are placed close to a road or any other place that motor vehicles have access.
