Climbing Inhibition System

Abstract

A climbing inhibition system for inhibiting a person from vandalizing a bridge includes a bridge that has a lateral surface. The lateral surface has a ledge extending outwardly therefrom. A wedge is coupled to the lateral surface of the bridge. Thus, the wedge may inhibit a person from gaining a foothold on the ledge thereby inhibiting the person from defacing or vandalizing the lateral surface.

1 . A climbing inhibition system configured to inhibit a person from climbing on a bridge, said system comprising:
 a bridge having an lateral surface, said lateral surface having a ledge extending outwardly therefrom, said ledge having an upper surface and a distal edge with respect to said lateral surface; and   a wedge being coupled to said lateral surface of said bridge wherein said wedge is configured to inhibit a person from gaining a foothold on said ledge thereby inhibiting the person from defacing or vandalizing said lateral surface, said wedge having a basal surface, a first end and a second end, said basal surface being positioned to abut said upper surface of said ledge, said rear surface being positioned to abut said lateral surface of said bridge, said front surface angling downwardly between said lateral surface of said bridge and said distal edge of said ledge wherein said front surface is configured to inhibit the person from gaining a foothold on said upper surface of said ledge, said basal surface extending outwardly beyond each of said first end and said second end to define a pair of tabs on said wedge.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said wedge has a rear surface and a front surface, said rear surface being oriented perpendicular with respect to said basal surface, said front surface angling between said basal surface and said rear surface such that said front surface defines a hypotenuse of a right triangle. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of bolts, each of said bolts extending through an associated one of said tabs and engaging said ledge such that said wedge is coupled to said ledge. 
     
     
         6 . A climbing inhibition system configured to inhibit a person from climbing on a bridge, said system comprising:
 a bridge having a lateral surface, said lateral surface having a ledge extending outwardly therefrom, said ledge having an upper surface and a distal edge with respect to said lateral surface; and   a wedge being coupled to said lateral surface of said bridge wherein said wedge is configured to inhibit a person from gaining a foothold on said ledge thereby inhibiting the person from defacing or vandalizing said lateral surface, said wedge having a basal surface, a rear surface and a front surface, said rear surface being oriented perpendicular with respect to said basal surface, said front surface angling between said basal surface and said rear surface such that said front surface defines a hypotenuse of a right triangle, said wedge having a first end and a second end, said basal surface extending outwardly beyond each of said first end and said second end to define a pair of tabs on said wedge, said basal surface being positioned to abut said upper surface of said ledge, said rear surface being positioned to abut said lateral surface of said bridge, said front surface angling downwardly between said lateral surface of said bridge and said distal edge of said ledge wherein said front surface is configured to inhibit the person from gaining a foothold on said upper surface of said ledge; and   a plurality of bolts, each of said bolts extending through an associated one of said tabs and engaging said ledge such that said wedge is coupled to said ledge.
