Abstract:
1. A barricade device comprising: two substantially planar member frames, each member frame comprising: an upper end and an opposing lower end, with opposing first and second sides connecting the upper and lower ends, the upper end of each member frame including at least one hinge knuckle configured to engage a complementary hinge knuckle on the other member frame, the lower end of each member frame including a connecting pin on the first side thereof and a female connecting pin receptor on the second side thereof, both substantially parallel to the member frame, wherein each female connecting pin receptor is configured to receive a connecting pin of a second barricade device to create a barricade connecting joint; both frames pivotably connected to each other about a first axis defined along the upper end of each member frame and extending through first openings in the hinge knuckles by a hinge/locking mechanism connected to at least one of the member frames adjacent the upper end thereof; the hinge/locking mechanism comprising: a locking pin passing through the first openings in the hinge knuckles of both member frames, and a second pin, parallel to and connected with the locking pin, wherein the second pin is configured for insertion into second openings in the hinge knuckles, offset from the first openings; wherein the member frames are pivotable between: an A-frame configuration, wherein the member frames form an acute angle about the first axis and the second pin is not inserted into the second openings, and a fence configuration, wherein the member frames form a 180 degree angle about the first axis, the second pin is inserted into the second openings thereby locking the member frames into the fence configuration, and the connector pins and female connecting pin receptors are aligned so as to pivotably engage with the female connecting pin receptors and connector pins of a second barricade device, respectively, about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis.
