Temporary barrier

Abstract

A Jersey type barrier having a modified surface structure so that vertical surfaces are formed in place of, or on the normally formed sloping sides, to form suitable vertical surface for mounting material thereon to increase the overall height of the barrier.

1 . A concrete barrier of the general shape of the Jersey type barrier in which a flat base is formed having a pair of opposing side walls presenting flat sloping surfaces extending from said base and tapering inwardly to form a narrow flat top surface at a predetermined distance above said base, 
 said barrier shape being altered so that one of said sidewalls is made to be vertical and which is orthogonal to said base,    said barrier having at least one bolt hole passing therethrough extending orthogonally to said vertical sidewall.    
     
     
         2 . (canceled)  
     
     
         3 . A concrete barrier of the general shape of the Jersey type barrier in which a flat base is formed having a pair of opposing sidewalls presenting a pair of flat sloping surfaces tapering inwardly 
 said sloping surfaces extending from said base to a narrow flat top surface at a predetermined height above said base,    one of said sloping sidewalls being provided with at least one wedge shaped recess in the surface thereof, wherein the major surface of said wedge shaped recess is vertical,    a bolt hole being provided in said barrier extending through said barrier to intersect said major surface in an orthogonal manner.    
     
     
         4 . A concrete barrier of the general shape of the Jersey type barrier in which a flat base is formed having a pair of opposing side walls presenting a pair of flat sloping surfaces tapering inwardly. 
 said sloping surfaces extending from said base to a narrow flat top surface at a predetermined height above said base    one of said sloping sidewalls being provided with a wedge shaped protrusion which has an exterior surface extending in a vertical direction,    a bolt hole being provided in said barrier, extending through said barrier to intersect said exterior surface in an orthogonal manner.    
     
     
         5 . A concrete barrier of the Jersey type having a base portion and an upright portion, said base portion having a flat bottom surface of substantial width for supporting said barrier on the ground, 
 said upright portion having a pair of opposing sidewall surfaces which taper inwardly to meet with a narrow flat top surface,    said top surface being located at a predetermined height above said base portion,    each of said pair of opposing sidewall surfaces being comprised of a pair of flat surfaces having differing slopes,    the lower flat surface of said sidewall surface having a shallow slope and being joined to said base portion,    the upper flat sidewall surface having a much steeper slope and extending between said lower flat surface to said flat top surface,    said barrier being altered in such a manner that one of said upper flat sidewall surface on one side of said barrier extends in a vertical direction,    said barrier having at least one bolt hole formed therein which intersects said vertical surface orthogonally and passes through said barrier.    
     
     
         6 . (canceled)  
     
     
         7 . (canceled)  
     
     
         8 . A Jersey type concrete barrier wherein a pair of opposing sidewalls taper inwardly to meet a flat top, said barrier being provided with a base portion which is integrally joined with said sidewalls, said base portion being of a Jersey barrier type shape including a relatively wide flat ground engaging surface, one of said sidewalls being modified from a typical Jersey type barrier cross section profile, in that at least said one of the sidewalls of said barrier extends from the top of said barrier downwardly in a vertical direction a predetermined distance to produce a vertical surface to permit mounting of suitable sheets of material directly on said vertical surface to add to the height of said barrier.  
     
     
         9 . A concrete barrier as claimed in  claim 8  having through holes provided therein for mounting sheeting on said vertical surface.
