A safety barrier transition, comprising partially deformable elements, pivoted by quickly disengageable coupling elements to a fixed barrier, specifically designed for closing, under safety conditions, and quickly re-opening road gaps provided in superhighway traffic dividers.

Safety barrier transition for providing an easily removable closure of road gaps

Apparatus for absorbing energy when impacted by a vehicle includes a plurality of vertical, spaced supports. Positioned between the supports are energy absorbing, collapsible, pressurizable modules having two connected module segments. Each module segment has an outer wall in the form of a truncated cone extending away from an end of the energy absorbing module and diverging outwardly in the direction of the other module segment.

A metal modular end assembly for a safety road barrier gradually absorbing the impact energy of a motor vehicle comprises longitudinally corrugated metal slotted panels coupled by sliders to supporting piers which are anchored to the ground, thereby an impact of a vehicle will force the sliders to friction engage and deform the panel slots to dissipate the impact kinetic energy of the impacting vehicle.

Safety road barrier end assembly with a gradual absorption of the impact energy

An energy absorption apparatus to dissipate impact force of a vehicle and to protect fixed objects near highway by safely stopping the vehicle. A plurality of energy absorbing metal plates are configured in such a way that by applying the force of impact of a vehicle that they successfully collapse absorbing the impact forces.

Energy absorption apparatus

A modular construction road barrier suitable to gradually absorb the impact energy of vehicles has flexible vessels for pneumatically absorbing the energy deriving from an impact, preferably in combination with a structure which absorbs friction controlled by the mutual sliding of the barrier elements. The friction absorbing structure can also be provided independently from the flexible vessels, thereby providing a gradually absorption of the vehicle impact energy. The barrier is moreover so constructed as to be easily located and recovered upon impact.

The present invention relates to a barrier construction for removably closing road passages, which comprises two cables, spaced from one another, and coupled, at the end portions thereof, to stretching assemblies, provided near the terminal portions of the end passage. Between the two cables are supported spacer plates, provided with a resting foot. The cables are arranged at such a level as to define therebetween the average of the values of the heights of the centers of gravity of conventional vehicles or, anyhow, such as to hold therein the minimum and maximum heights of a guard-rail of conventional type.
