Y — _ Means and apparatus for installing a safety barrier on a racetrack Full Description

Background of the invention:

This invention relates to means of installing OUT barriers, the device of OUT barriers, and installation methods

Before the horse race begins, the horse moves freely Cal Starting point. However, since the area is to © where horses move freely indefinitely, the start of the race can be delayed if a horse turns too far

very off the starting point. Hence there is a need to define an area immediately behind the starting point in order to

Horse movement is limited to a limited area.

Therefore, it was proposed to provide a barrier between two side fences forming the starting point to provide a specific area

Horses can move around. Of course, “it is required that the barrier be safe for horses,” so that

0 If a horse strays at old) the barrier, he is not injured by the impact of the collision with it. Visible barriers are described in International Patent No. 497777/97 which includes the means for mounting a barrier on a post in each racecourse side fence. The hurdle has a weak spot so that the hurdle is designed to break off the racetrack.

1 By means of the system used in International Patent No. 767 99//4977” the barrier is attached to posts fixed to the side of each racecourse enclosure. The anchor brackets are permanently attached fixtures that include 52 carriages; Along it the barrier moves to the desired distance away from the starting point. Once the Race Begins” the barrier is removed and the posts remain in position next to the railings. Any colored material placed on the supports will irritate the horse and may cause it to lunge towards the horse

— 7 m from the supports or away from them. Not only does this cause the horses to lose speed but it may result in the horses colliding with each other. Therefore, there is a need to provide a device for mounting barriers that does not significantly interfere or hinder the performance of dA moving next to it. In addition, it is desirable to provide a barrier that may contain a colored advertising material that is cad installed, but does not affect the performance of the horse during the race. Therefore Bs for preferred embodiments of the invention is considered to overcome or mitigate at least one of the problems of the prior art whether or not they are expressly disclosed herein.
