Abstract:
A finger wedge barrier system includes a frame having a top side and a bottom side, a laterally extending beam trough located along a front wall, and laterally spaced apart finger troughs extending axially from a rear wall to the beam trough, each of the finger troughs is open at the top side of the frame and formed between a cooperative pair of rails; a first cavity formed between a first pair of the laterally spaced apart finger troughs, the first cavity open at the top side and the bottom side; a second cavity formed between a second pair of the laterally spaced apart finger troughs, the second cavity open at the top side and the bottom side; and a finger wedge barrier having fingers aligned with the finger troughs, each of the fingers having a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear end pivotally connected to the frame, and a blocking member extending perpendicular to the fingers and connected at front ends of each of the fingers.

Claim (Index 13):
A method, comprising:\n operating a finger wedge vehicle barrier system installed in a motor vehicle roadway from a non-deployed position to a deployed position, the system comprising:\n a frame having a top side and a bottom side, a laterally extending beam trough located along a front wall, and laterally spaced apart finger troughs extending axially from a rear wall to the beam trough, wherein each of the finger troughs is open at the top side of the frame and formed between a cooperative pair of rails; \n a first cavity formed between a first pair of the laterally spaced apart finger troughs, the first cavity open at the top side and the bottom side; \n a second cavity formed between a second pair of the laterally spaced apart finger troughs, the second cavity open at the top side and the bottom side; \n a concrete foundation disposed in the first cavity and the second cavity, the concrete foundation having a foundation surface generally level with the top side; \n a finger wedge barrier comprising fingers aligned with the finger troughs, each of the fingers having a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear end pivotally connected to the frame, and a blocking member extending perpendicular to the fingers and connected at front ends of each of the fingers, wherein in the non-deployed position the top surfaces of the fingers are generally level with the top side and the foundation surface and the concrete foundation in the first and the second cavities is exposed; and \n each of the fingers comprising a linkage connected at a first end to the finger and at a second end to the frame, the linkage extending into the respective finger trough.
