BARRICADE ASSEMBLY WITH FOLDABLE LEGS

摘要

A barricade assembly comprises a pair of laterally spaced uprights for supporting at least one barricade board, and a foldable leg assembly for selectively supporting the uprights in a generally upright position. The leg assembly comprises two pairs of legs, one of which has a sliding connection with the respective uprights, and the other of which has a pivotal connection with the respective legs of the one pair and with the respective uprights. When the legs of both pairs are unfolded, the legs of both pairs support the uprights in a generally upright position, whereas when the legs of both pairs are folded, the legs of the one pair are nested within the legs of the other pair substantially in line with the inner sides of the respective uprights to provide a substantially flat barricade assembly for ease of stacking of a plurality of such barricade assemblies on top of one another during storage and/or transit.

1. A barricade assembly comprising a pair of laterally spaced uprights, each of the uprights having front and back sides, inner and outer sides, and upper and lower ends, at least one barricade board attached to the front sides of the uprights intermediate the ends of the uprights, and a foldable leg assembly for selectively supporting the uprights in a generally upright position, the leg assembly comprising two pairs of legs, the legs of each pair having upper and lower ends, the upper ends of the legs of one of the pairs having a sliding connection with the respective uprights, and the upper ends of the legs of the other pair having a first pivotal connection with the respective legs of the one pair in axial spaced relation from the upper ends of the respective legs of the one pair, and the legs of the other pair having a second pivotal connection with the respective uprights in axial spaced relation from the first pivotal connection and in longitudinal spaced relation below a lower end of the sliding connection of the upper ends of the legs of the one pair with the respective uprights, whereby the legs of each pair are movable between an unfolded position in which the lower ends of the legs of the one pair extend rearwardly of the respective uprights and the lower ends of the legs of the other pair extend forwardly of the respective uprights, and a folded position in which the respective legs of both pairs are nested within one another in line with the inner sides of the respective uprights to provide a substantially flat barricade assembly for ease of stacking of a plurality of such barricade assemblies one on top of another during storage and/or transit.
