Abstract

A roadblock for temporary installation to block traffic and/or as a security precaution includes an elongated casing with two opposing longitudinal side walls. The two side walls join an upper wall. At least one casing support structure is located in the elongated casing and connects to both side walls. Supports for resting on the ground/surface are connected to the lower side of the elongated casing and/or the lower side of the casing support structure. Plural stabilization arms protrude from one of the longitudinal side walls and are detachable.

Claims (53)

1. A roadblock for temporary installation to block traffic and/or as a security precaution, comprising:

an elongated casing with two opposing longitudinal side walls, the two side walls joining an upper wall;

at least one casing support structure located in the elongated casing;

supports for resting on the ground/surface connected to the lower side of the elongated casing and/or the lower side of the casing support structure; and

plural stabilization arms protruding from one of the longitudinal side walls;

wherein the protruding length of each of the stabilization arms is adjustable; and

wherein the stabilization arms are detachable.

2. The roadblock according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one wheel held by the at least one casing support structure, wherein the position of the wheel is adjustable.

3. The roadblock according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilization arms are parallel orientated.

4. The roadblock according to claim 1 , wherein the angle enclosed by the stabilization arms and the longitudinal side wall is more than 90°.

5. The roadblock according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilization arms are located opposite the upper wall of the elongated casing.

6. The roadblock according to claim 1 ,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one central protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which central protrusion is located on the side of a vertical central plane through the elongated casing that is facing away from the longitudinal side wall with the stabilization arms.

7. The roadblock according to claim 1 ,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one central protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which central protrusion is located on the side of a vertical central plane through the elongated casing that is facing away from the longitudinal side wall with the stabilization arms, and

wherein the supports are provided with at least one second sideward protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which sideward protrusion is located alongside the elongated casing on the side facing away from the stabilization arms.

8. The roadblock according to claim 1 ,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one central protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which central protrusion is located on the side of a vertical central plane through the elongated casing that is facing away from the longitudinal side wall with the stabilization arms,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one second sideward protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which sideward protrusion is located alongside the elongated casing on the side facing away from the stabilization arms, and

wherein the central protrusion protrudes further down than the sideward protrusion.

9. The roadblock according to claim 1 ,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one central protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which central protrusion is located on the side of a vertical central plane through the elongated casing that is facing away from the longitudinal side wall with the stabilization arms,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one second sideward protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which sideward protrusion is located alongside the elongated casing on the side facing away from the stabilization arms, and

wherein the central protrusion and/or the sideward protrusion has sharp angles.

10. The roadblock according to claim 1 ,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one second sideward protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which sideward protrusion is located alongside the elongated casing on the side facing away from the stabilization arms, and

wherein the sideward protrusion has at least two sharp angles.

11. The roadblock according to claim 1 , wherein the ends of the elongated casing are chamfered.

12. The roadblock according to claim 1 , wherein the ends of the elongated casing are provided with couplings.

13. A roadblock for temporary installation to block traffic and/or as a security precaution, comprising:

an elongated casing with two opposing longitudinal side walls, the two side walls joining an upper wall;

at least one casing support structure located in the elongated casing;

supports for resting on the ground/surface connected to the lower side of the elongated casing and/or the lower side of the casing support structure; and

plural stabilization arms protruding from one of the longitudinal side walls, each of which stabilization arms includes a telescopic sliding inner arm segment movable out of a larger outer arm segment;

wherein the protruding length of each of the stabilization arms is adjustable; and

wherein at least one of the inner arm segments and at least one of the outer arm segments is detachable.

14. The roadblock according to claim 13 , further comprising at least one wheel held by the at least one casing support structure, wherein the position of the wheel is adjustable.

15. The roadblock according to claim 13 ,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one central protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which central protrusion is located on the side of a vertical central plane through the elongated casing that is facing away from the longitudinal side wall with the stabilization arms,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one second sideward protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which sideward protrusion is located alongside the elongated casing on the side facing away from the stabilization arms, and

wherein the central protrusion and/or the sideward protrusion has sharp angles.

16. A roadblock for temporary installation to block traffic and/or as a security precaution, comprising:

an elongated casing with two opposing longitudinal side walls, the two side walls joining an upper wall;

at least one casing support structure located in the elongated casing;

at least one wheel held by the at least one casing support structure, wherein the position of the wheel is adjustable;

supports for resting on the ground/surface connected to the lower side of the elongated casing and/or the lower side of the casing support structure; and

plural stabilization arms protruding from one of the longitudinal side walls, each of which stabilization arms includes a telescopic sliding inner arm segment movable out of a larger outer arm segment;

wherein the protruding length of each of the stabilization arms is adjustable; and

wherein at least one of the inner arm segments and at least one of the outer arm segments is detachable.

17. The roadblock according to claim 16 ,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one central protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which central protrusion is located on the side of a vertical central plane through the elongated casing that is facing away from the longitudinal side wall with the stabilization arms,

wherein the supports are provided with at least one second sideward protrusion facing away from the elongated casing, which sideward protrusion is located alongside the elongated casing on the side facing away from the stabilization arms, and

wherein the central protrusion and/or the sideward protrusion has sharp angles.
