In a barrier system comprising an upright support, at least one barrier member (2) and a receiving member (1), the receiving member (1) is capable of being received at the upper end of an upright support, and has a plurality of open-ended passageways (10), the open ends of the passageways being spaced about the circumference of the receiving member (1). Each passageway has an engaging element (12) that projects into the passageway and is retractable therefrom independently of the engaging elements in the other passageways. Engaging means (25a) for co-operating with the engaging elements are provided on the end of the barrier member (2) so that the end of the barrier member can be secured releasably in the passageway (10). In use of the barrier system of the invention, an end of a barrier member (2) may be engaged in or released from a passageway (10) independently of any barrier members engaged in the other passageways. |
