Abstract:
A barrier that is releasably secured across an ingress/egress to a balcony or other elevated platform. The barrier is a fence-style assembly that has a pair of vertical posts that are releasably secured within respective boots secured to the floor. One of the boots includes a switch-activated transmitter that is inactive when the respective post is seated in the boot. If the post is pulled out of the boot, the switch-activated transmitter transmits a wireless signal to a transceiver located on the barrier which then transmits a signal to an on-site controller that transmits respective text messages to authorized personnel informing them of the barrier removal and restoration and will continue to do so until the barrier status changes. The transceiver may be housed within a housing that also contains a visual and/or audible warning at the barrier vicinity to warn those in the vicinity of the barrier removal.

Claim (Index 1):
A barrier status alert system for use at a position adjacent an opening frame to a balcony to alert at least one authorized personnel, remote from the balcony, that a barrier has been removed from the position, said system comprising:\n the barrier that is configured to be installed or removed from the position and wherein the barrier is uncoupled to the opening frame when installed, said barrier preventing passage of a person through the opening frame; a detector that transmits a first wireless signal whenever a portion of the barrier has been removed from the position, said detector being associated with a receptacle secured to a floor at said position, said receptacle receiving a portion of said barrier therein; a transceiver which receives said first wireless signal, said transceiver transmitting a second wireless signal to an on-site controller; and said on-site controller transmitting a third wireless signal to at least one wireless device of the at least one authorized personnel indicating that said barrier has been removed and said on-site controller transmitting a fourth wireless signal to said at least one wireless device of the at least one authorized personnel indicating that said barrier has been restored when said on-site controller no longer receives said second wireless signal.
