Barrier Post and System

Abstract

A barrier system includes a plurality of barriers, each barrier having a first end and a second end, and one or more posts. Each post includes a center wall having a first end and a second end. A first wall extends from the center wall first end, and a second wall extends from the first wall such that the center wall, first wall and second wall define a first channel capable of receiving one of the first end and second end of a first barrier. A third wall extends from the center wall second end, and fourth wall extends from the third wall such that the center wall, third wall and fourth wall define a second channel capable of receiving one of the first end and second end of a second barrier.

1 . A barrier post comprising:
 a center wall having a first end and a second end;   a first wall extending from the center wall first end;   a second wall extending from the first wall such that the center wall, first wall and second wall define a first channel capable of receiving a first barrier;   a third wall extending from the center wall second end; and   a fourth wall extending from the third wall such that the center wall, third wall and fourth wall define a second channel capable of receiving a second barrier.   
   
   
       2 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the second wall includes a distal end, wherein the distal end curls into the first channel. 
   
   
       3 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the fourth wall includes a distal end, wherein the distal end curls into the second channel. 
   
   
       4 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the first wall is substantially perpendicular to the center wall. 
   
   
       5 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the second wall is substantially parallel with the center wall. 
   
   
       6 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the third wall is substantially perpendicular to the center wall. 
   
   
       7 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the fourth wall is substantially parallel with the center wall. 
   
   
       8 . The barrier post of  claim 1  further comprising a friction member for gripping the first barrier, the friction member coupled to the second wall. 
   
   
       9 . The barrier post of  claim 1  further comprising a friction member for gripping the second barrier, the friction member coupled to the fourth wall. 
   
   
       10 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the first channel is configured to lockingly engage the first barrier. 
   
   
       11 . The barrier post of  claim 1  wherein the second channel is configured to lockingly engage the second barrier. 
   
   
       12 . A barrier system comprising:
 a plurality of barriers, each barrier having a first end and a second end;   a post comprising:
 a center wall having a first end and a second end; 
 a first wall extending from the center wall first end; 
 a second wall extending from the first wall such that the center wall, first wall and second wall define a first channel capable of receiving one of the first end and second end of a first barrier; 
 a third wall extending from the center wall second end; and 
 a fourth wall extending from the third wall such that the center wall, third wall and fourth wall define a second channel capable of receiving one of the first end and second end of a second barrier. 
   
   
   
       13 . The barrier system of  claim 12  wherein at least one of the second wall and fourth wall includes a distal end, wherein the distal end curls into at least one of the first channel and second channel. 
   
   
       14 . The barrier system of  claim 12  wherein the first wall is substantially perpendicular to the center wall. 
   
   
       15 . The barrier system of  claim 12  wherein the second wall is substantially parallel with the center wall. 
   
   
       16 . The barrier system of  claim 12  wherein the third wall is substantially perpendicular to the center wall. 
   
   
       17 . The barrier system of  claim 12  wherein the fourth wall is substantially parallel with the center wall. 
   
   
       18 . The barrier system of  claim 12  wherein at least one of the first end and second end of the first barrier member includes an arm member for lockingly engaging the post when disposed within the first channel. 
   
   
       19 . The barrier system of  claim 12  wherein at least one of the first end and second end of the second barrier member includes an arm member for lockingly engaging the post when disposed within the second channel. 
   
   
       20 . A barrier post comprising:
 a center wall having a first end;   a first wall extending from the center wall first end; and   a second wall extending from the first wall such that the center wall, first wall and second wall define a channel capable of receiving an end of a barrier.
