Patent number: 10060154Abstract: A protective barrier includes a hollow plastic rail including first and second ends, a rounded metallic member disposed on the first end and a second metallic member disposed on the second end. The rounded metallic member includes a first opening for receiving the first end of the hollow plastic rail, a first anchoring mechanism for anchoring the rounded metallic member and the first end of the hollow plastic rail to a surface, and a rounded protrusion disposed on an outer surface of the rounded metallic member for receiving a force of impact and deflecting the force of impact away from the rounded metallic member. The second metallic member includes a second opening for receiving the second end of the hollow plastic rail and a second anchoring mechanism for anchoring the second metallic member and the second end of the hollow plastic rail to the surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: McCue CorporationInventors: David S. McCue, Thomas Ustach, Timothy David Stratford

Patent number: 9732485Abstract: A column protection apparatus includes a number of impact absorbing members, each impact absorbing member including a protrusion and a protrusion receiving opening. The protrusion of each impact absorption member is inserted into the protrusion receiving opening of another, different impact absorption member such that a column-receiving opening is formed through the impact absorbing members.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2016Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: MCCUE CORPORATIONInventors: David S. McCue, Timothy David Stratford, Steve Field, David DiAntonio, Thomas Ustach

Patent number: 9644393Abstract: An impact absorbing barrier includes a plurality of posts and a plurality of rails. Each post of the plurality of posts includes an impact absorption mechanism. Each rail of the plurality of rails includes a first end coupled to a first post of the plurality of posts and a second end coupled to a second, different post of the plurality of posts. The coupling between the first end and the first post and the coupling between the second end and the second post cause at least some of a force of a collision on the first post to be transferred to the impact absorption mechanism of the second post.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: McCue CorporationInventors: David S. McCue, Thomas Ustach, Timothy David Stratford
