20090121205 | RELEASEABLE ANCHOR CABLES FOR CABLE BARRIERS THAT RELEASE UPON CERTAIN LOAD CONDITIONS UPON THE CABLE BARRIER - An improved cable-barrier system includes an anchor-body and terminal post which receive and retain one or more anchor-cables and are anchored to counter balance the force applied to the anchor body by one or more barrier-cable(s). The system also allows for the release of the anchor-cables during a collision with a vehicle. The release of the cables is particularly important in situations where the cable-barrier is capable of acting as a ramp and/or snag during the collision. | 05-14-2009 |
