Patent ID: 11761581

Abstract:
A burn barrier unit used between gas canisters in a work area. The unit has two spaced-apart panels defining a side opening. First, second, and third flap portions of the two panels are bent 90 degrees and are overlapped and welded together to form a closed top and bottom unit. Optionally, the first and second flap portions of the panels are bent 180 degrees inwardly of the panels and the third flap portions of the panels are overlapped and welded together to form an opened top and bottom burn barrier unit. An anchor bar is welded in the side opening and has spaced-apart slots for securing an anchor element, which securely positions the unit in place between the gas canisters. The unit meets OSHA standards, is at least five feet high, and is made of carbon steel with fire resistant capabilities. Methods for forming the unit are also disclosed.
