  • Patent number: 10533590
    Abstract: Provided are a connector and a connection system for concrete barriers. The connector is configured to slip-fit into a cross-shaped gap formed between the concrete barriers. The connector includes a saddle member and a fork member. The saddle member includes a base plate and peripheral plates. The peripheral plates extend at angles from the base plate to define a channel extending along the length of the base plate. The fork member extends from the base plate of the saddle member. The fork member includes an elongated base, flanges, and legs. The elongated base extends in the channel between the peripheral plates at least along the width of the base plate. The flanges are transverse to the elongated base forming a cross-shaped structure disposed in the channel with the flanges that extend toward the open ends of the channel. The legs extend separately from the elongated base.

  • Patent number: 9897123
    Abstract: Connector to slip-fit into a cross-shaped gap between barriers. The barriers are engaged by a lock extending in the gap into slots through sidewalls terminating the barriers. The connector includes a saddle and fork. The saddle includes a base plate and peripheral plates. The base plate is to extend over the gap and partially atop the barriers. The peripheral plates are to be disposed over front and back walls of the barriers. The base plate and peripheral plates define open ends. The fork extends below the base plate and includes a base, flanges, and legs. The base is to he disposed atop the lock between the sidewalls. The flanges are disposed transversely to the base forming a cross-shaped structure to be disposed atop the lock with the flanges extended toward the open ends into the slots. The legs extend separately from the base to straddle the lock between the sidewalls.
