  • Publication number: 20240384562
    Abstract: A mesh panel holder (1) for an edge protection barrier system (30) comprising mesh panels (33) supported on posts (31) by means of the mesh panel holders. The mesh panel holder has a post attachment member (2) and a mesh panel support (3) attached to the post attachment member. The mesh panel support has a mesh panel retainer (4) arranged to pivot between at least a first locked position and a second locked position at different pivotal angles. The mesh panel retainer (4) is arranged to, in the first locked position, enable a mesh panel to be received at the mesh panel support, and, in the second locked position, prevent a received mesh panel from being unintentionally removed from the mesh panel holder. The mesh panel holder includes a resilient locking member (5), wherein unlocking of the mesh panel retainer from the first and second locked positions requires operation of the resilient locking member.

  • Patent number: 11933060
    Abstract: A telescopic edge protection post arrangeable between a floor and a ceiling, comprising outer and inner tubes, each comprising a bottom end and a top end, the inner tube extending into the outer tube and being movable with respect thereto between an extended position and a collapsed position. The post further comprises a locking mechanism to lock the inner tube with respect to the outer tube in the extended position, and a tensioning unit arranged at the top end of the inner tube. The tensioning unit comprises a tensioning element having a primary and secondary tensioning portions, wherein tensioning of the secondary tensioning portion requires a lower force than the primary tensioning portion, allowing tensioning of the secondary tensioning portion by extending the telescopic edge protection post by hand into engagement with the floor and the ceiling. Further, the primary and secondary tensioning portions each comprise a compression spring.
