In accordance with this exemplary embodiment, thefasteners 15 are keys however it should be appreciated that any type of fastener can be used in conjunction with the barrier systems and plates discussed herein. Furthermore, while the exemplary embodiment illustrated inFIG. 8 shows the interconnectingmembers 5 being removable from and slideable through theplate 100, it should be appreciated that the interconnectingmembers 5 could also be securely fastened to theplate 100 for example, by welding, or the like. In addition, it should be appreciated that the interconnectingmembers 5 could extend beyond an end plate and be adapted to beinterconnect with an adjoining barrier. For example, the interconnecting members could have a male-female relationship where adjoining interconnecting members of the barriers would slide together thereby providing a substantially uniform interconnecting member between the plurality of barriers. In addition, it should be appreciated that the spacing between theplates 100 can be varied for example, by placing a plurality ofholes 17 in the interconnectingmember 5 as illustrated inFIG. 10 . This could provide, for example, additional rigidity by allowing an increased number of plates in thebarrier 1 which may be appropriate for a particular application. -
FIG. 9 is a partial cross sectional view of aplate 100 in accordance with another exemplary embodiment of this invention. In particular, in this embodiment, the interconnectingmember 5 comprises a threaded male portion 21 and a threaded female portion 23. The interconnectingmember 5 has a greater diameter than the threaded male portion 21 and the threaded female portion 23 thereby securing theplate 100 there between. - It is, therefore, apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the present invention, a barrier system. While this invention has been described in conjunction with a number of embodiments, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, variations would be or are apparent to those of ordinary skill in the applicable arts. Accordingly, the disclosure is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, equivalents and variations that are within the spirit and scope of this invention.
