Abstract:
1. A safety barrier with an integrated alarm comprising: (a) a plurality of posts for supporting fencing material, each post having embedded therein a contact; (b) a plurality of bases for supporting said posts, each base support having a contact embedded therein which corresponds to the contact embedded in said posts; (c) a plurality of bases for supporting said posts; (d) a plurality of bases for supporting said posts; (e) at least one alarm connected to the contacts embedded in the bases and posts; and (f) fencing material; wherein said posts are inserted into said bases, which are consecutively arranged, to support said posts in an upright position; said fencing material is supported horizontally on said posts, extending from post to post; wherein when said posts are in an upright position, said contacts embedded in said post and said base are connected, which closes the circuit between said alarm and said alarm contacts embedded in said post and said base, which prevents said alarm from emitting sound; and conversely, when said posts are not in an upright position, said contacts embedded in said post and said base become disconnected, which opens the circuit between said alarm and said alarm contacts embedded in said post and said base, which causes said alarm to emit sound.
