  • Publication number: 20030024189
    Abstract: A reusable wall barricade assembly is disclosed. The assembly is composed of a plurality of interlocking barricade wall segments or panels which fasten securely together. The wall segments are formed with a foam interior core portion for sound deadening capabilities and with a tough, smooth exterior skin to prevent damage to the foam interior and present a pleasing exterior appearance. The outer skin substantially encases the interior core portion and has at least three edge portions. Connectors connect one panel to another at an edge portion of each panel such that a barrier of the desired height and length can be made to separate one spatial area from another spatial area, such as in a mall or other construction area. The panels are suitable for facile assembly, disassembly and reuse, providing an economical alternative to conventional barricade structures.
