  • Patent number: 11851905
    Abstract: The present invention teaches a modular railing, in which the various modules that constitute it can be connected to each other in a simple and aesthetically homogeneous way. This modular railing provides that even the individual modules can in turn be made with interchangeable parts. All suitably standardized, so as to preserve the possibility of using, in large quantities, identical pieces. Each module of the railing comprises: at least a support pole placed at one end of said section of railing, and suitable for being fixed to the ground, an upper horizontal bar that connects two support poles (and coupled to them near their upper end), a lower horizontal bar that connects two support poles (and coupled to them near their base), and a plurality of vertical rods that connect said two upper and lower horizontal bars.

  • Publication number: 20230407584
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the installation of road safety barriers also known as “guardrails”; and indicates a real “road system”, including special safety barriers, in which each trait of the safety barrier can be installed with the reasonable certainty of compliance with the required safety requirements, and these requirements can be defined differently depending on the trait. Furthermore, this “road system”, including special safety barriers, is associated with an innovative installation and maintenance method, which is not significantly more expensive than the methods currently practiced for the installation and maintenance of simple road barriers, in which the fixing of the uprights to the ground is done by simple infixion into the ground using a “pile-driving machine”. The invention is characterized by an appropriate ground fixing system, which is integrated in said “guardrail”.
