Crash barrier beam

摘要

CRASH BARRIER BEAM A crash barrier beam 10 suitable for temporary placement on a road comprises a housing 18 which, in profile, has a laterally extending base 12 for contact with the road. The beam has a narrower central element 14 upwardly extending from the base that terminates in a top portion 16. The exterior of the housing provides a continuous impact surface to an oncoming vehicle and the profile provides stability to the beam on impact. The crash barrier beam 10 has a length defined by a first end 24 and a second end 26, 28. At least one of the first and second ends comprises formations 32, 34 for engagement with corresponding formations 38, 40 on an end of an adjacent beam 10' so as to facilitate joining of the beams to one another. The formations are configured for the beams to be substantially self-aligning with respect to each other. [Figure 6] Q Ch Ic -I -- - )C -~
