Abstract

A barrier that includes a plurality of first wires that extend in a horizontal direction is provided. The barrier can include a plurality of second wires that extend in a vertical direction. The barrier can include at least one third wire that extends in a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. The plurality of second wires and one or more wires of the plurality of first wires can form a first portion extending in a first plane defined by the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The at least one third wire and at least one wire of the plurality of first wires can form a second portion extending in a second plane defined by the horizontal direction and a transverse direction. The plurality of second wires can be excluded from the second portion. The at least one third wire can be excluded from the first portion.

Claims (43)

1 . A barrier that defines a horizontal direction H, a vertical direction V that is orthogonal to the horizontal direction H, and a transverse direction T that is orthogonal to the horizontal direction H and the vertical direction V, wherein the barrier comprises:

a plurality of first wires that extend in the horizontal direction H;

a plurality of second wires that extend in the vertical direction V; and

at least one third wire that extends at least partially in the horizontal direction H and in the transverse direction T,

wherein the plurality of second wires and one or more wires of the plurality of first wires form a first portion extending in a first plane defined by vertical direction V and horizontal direction H,

wherein the at least one third wire and at least one wire of the plurality of first wires form a second portion extending in a second plane defined by horizontal direction H and transverse direction T,

wherein the plurality of second wires do not extend through the second plane of the second portion, and

wherein the at least one third wire does not extend into the first portion.

2 . The barrier of claim 1 , wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion.

3 . The barrier of claim 2 , wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion by a wire of the plurality of first wires.

4 . The barrier of claim 2 , wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion by a metal bar.

5 . The barrier of claim 2 , wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion at a top end of the first portion.

6 . The barrier of claim 1 , wherein the at least one third wire forms a zig-zag pattern-along the horizontal direction H.

7 . The barrier of claim 1 , wherein the at least one third wire extends on a single plane.

8 . The barrier of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one third wire extends at an angle between the horizontal direction H and the transverse direction T.

9 . The barrier of claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end,

wherein the first end is coupled to the first portion,

wherein the second end is defined by a wire of the at least one wire of the plurality of first wires, and

wherein the at least one third wire is coupled to the wire of the at least one wire of the plurality of first wires.

10 . The barrier of claim 9 , further comprising a bar,

wherein the bar comprises a vertical portion that extends in the vertical direction V and a transverse portion that extends in the transverse direction T,

wherein the vertical portion of the bar is parallel to the plurality of second wires,

wherein the transverse portion of the bar extends to the second end of the second portion, and

wherein the bar is coupled to each of the plurality of first wires.

11 . The barrier of claim 10 , further comprising a third portion coupled to the first portion, wherein the first portion is positioned in between the third portion and the second portion,

wherein the bar comprises a second transverse portion, and

wherein the third portion of the barrier comprises the second transverse portion of the bar.

12 . The barrier of claim 11 , further comprising a sheet extending in the vertical direction V and the horizontal direction H, wherein the sheet is coupled to at least a sub-portion of each of the plurality of second wires.

13 . An edge protection barrier configured to be coupled proximate to an edge of a building, the edge protection barrier defining a horizontal direction H, a vertical direction V that is orthogonal to the horizontal direction H, and a transverse direction T that is orthogonal to the horizontal direction H and the vertical direction V, wherein the edge protection barrier comprises:

a plurality of first wires that extend in the horizontal direction H;

a plurality of second wires that extend in the vertical direction V; and

at least one third wire that extends at least partially in the horizontal direction H and in the transverse direction T,

wherein the plurality of second wires and one or more wires of the plurality of first wires form a first portion extending in a first plane defined by vertical direction V and horizontal direction H,

wherein the at least one third wire and at least one wire of the plurality of first wires form a second portion extending in a second plane defined by horizontal direction H and transverse direction T,

wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion,

wherein the plurality of second wires do not extend through the second plane of the second portion, and

wherein the at least one third wire does not extend into the first portion.

14 . The edge protection barrier of claim 13 , wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion by a wire of the plurality of first wires.

15 . The edge protection barrier of claim 13 , wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion by a metal bar.

16 . The edge protection barrier of claim 13 , wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion at a top end of the first portion.

17 . The edge protection barrier of claim 13 , wherein the at least one third wire forms a zig-zag pattern along the horizontal direction H.

18 . The edge protection barrier of claim 17 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one third wire extends at an angle between the horizontal direction H and the transverse direction T.

19 . The edge protection barrier of claim 13 , wherein the at least one third wire extends on a single plane in the horizontal direction H.
