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 10):
A method for providing a status alert of a barrier installed for use at a position adjacent an opening frame to a balcony in order to alert at least one authorized personnel, remote from the balcony, that the barrier has been removed from the position, said method comprising:\n releasably securing the barrier at the position without coupling said barrier to the opening frame; detecting the removal of the barrier from the position using a detector which detects that a portion of said barrier has been removed from a receptacle that is secured to a floor at said position, said barrier preventing passage of a person through the opening frame when the barrier is present at the position; transmitting a first wireless signal from said detector whenever said detector has detected removal of a portion of the barrier from the position; receiving said first wireless signal by a transceiver wherein said transceiver transmits a second wireless signal to an on-site controller; and receiving said second wireless signal by said on-site controller wherein said on-site controller transmits 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 wherein said on-site controller transmits a fourth wireless signal to said at least one wireless device of the at the least one authorized personnel indicating that said barrier has been restored when said on-site controller no longer receives said second wireless signal.
