Abstract
A parking barrier apparatus for restricting ingress into and egress from a parking space is disclosed. The parking barrier includes an elongate, substantially planar base member adapted to be secured onto the ground of a parking space. An elongate carrying cover of is pivotally connected to the base member and movable from a first, upright position into a second, prone position. The carrying cover includes a substantially U-configured channel portion that is inverted and covers a portion of the base member when the carrying cover is upright. A barrier member is secured to the elongate cover and extends outward therefrom. A lock mechanism is secured within the channel of the carrying cover for engaging and locking the cover in the first, raised position. The lock mechanism remains substantially enclosed by the carrying cover and base member when the carrying cover is upright to prevent tampering with the lock mechanism.
