Crowd control barrier |
(57) A crowd control barrier suitable for football grounds and other stadia is effective
in preventing rapid passage of people across the barrier without obstructing spectators'
view of events taking place. The barrier comprises a frame supported in a horizontal
plane above the ground with parallel metal wire cables (24; 124) extending under light
tension between the lateral frame members (19, 20 ; 119, 120). The frame members can
be surrounded by freely rotatable sleeve segments (148).
