Abstract

Anti-break-through safety barrier able to be used in correspondence with a site to be protected. The anti-break-through safety barrier comprises a plurality of modular elements coupled together so as to slide vertically with respect to the other. Each modular element comprises a stiff and armor-plated protecting wall, which is fixed laterally to a pair of supports. Each modular element is further movable between an inactive position, located below a determined trampling reference plane and a lifted position above the trampling reference plane to define a single compact protecting structure, stiff and armor-plated, anchored to the floor or to the ground.

Claims

1. An anti-break-through safety barrier able to be used in correspondence with a site to be protected, comprising a plurality of modular elements coupled together so as to slide vertically one with respect to the other, wherein each of said modular elements comprises a stiff and armor-plated protecting wall, which is fixed laterally to at least a pair of supports, and wherein each of said modular elements is movable between an inactive position, located below a determined trampling reference plane (P), and a lifted position above said trampling reference plane (P) to define a single compact protecting structure, stiff and armor-plated, anchored to the floor or to the ground.

2. An anti-break-through safety barrier as in claim 1, wherein said modular elements define a telescopic structure movable between said inactive position and said lifted position.

3. An anti-break-through safety barrier as in claim 1, wherein said protecting walls are able to slide vertically one next to the other.

4. An anti-break-through safety barrier as in claim 1, wherein each pair of said pairs of supports is able to slide vertically, inserting itself inside another of said pairs.

5. An anti-break-through safety barrier as in claim 2, wherein said telescopic structure is moved by means of fluid-dynamic or electromechanical means.

6. An anti-break-through safety barrier as in claim 1, having a width comprised at least between about 2000 mm and about 6000 mm, and a depth comprised at least between about 500 mm and about 1000 mm.

7. An anti-break-through safety barrier as in claim 1, wherein said protecting walls have a height varying at least between about 200 mm and about 1000 mm and a width varying at least between about 1000 mm and about 6000 mm.

8. An anti-break-through safety barrier as in claim 1, wherein the supports of each of said pairs of supports have a width varying at least between about 100 mm and about 500 mm.
