Abstract
A barrier system is provided, the barrier system comprising a first barrier component comprising: a support member formed from an electrically insulating material and having a first major surface, a second major surface and one or more edges extending between the first and second major surfaces; a first electrical conductor assembly comprising a first conductor member disposed on the first major surface of the support member; a second electrical conductor assembly comprising a second conductor member disposed on the first major surface of the support member, the second conductor member spaced apart and electrically insulated from the first conductor member; each of the first and second electrical conductor assemblies comprising an electrical contact member disposed an edge of the support member; wherein each electrical contact member and the respective edge of the support member are configured to connect with a corresponding electrical contact member and the respective edge of a corresponding second barrier component, with the connection being formed by the movement of the second barrier component relative to the first barrier component in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the first major surface. The barrier system finds particular use in the deterring of animals and the dissipation of accumulations of static electricity.
