  • Patent number: 9593454
    Abstract: A barrier system for alternately shutting and opening the vehicle entrance or pedestrian entrance of two lines or transport paths which cross one another and of which one is at least twice as wide as the other. On the four corners of the lines (15, 16) which cross one another, in each case one barrier system (17) with in each case one barrier boom (1, 18) which can be pivoted horizontally out of the vehicle entrance of one line (15) into the vehicle entrance of the other line (16) is installed. Two of the barrier systems (17) which lie diagonally opposite to one another and have in each case one barrier boom (1) which can be folded lengthwise from an elongate position. The two other barrier systems (17) which lie diagonally opposite to one another have in each case one conventional barrier boom (18) which is rigid over its entire length.

  • Publication number: 20140360680
    Abstract: The invention relates to a barrier skirt (3,3?), e.g. for access barriers or railway barriers, which consists of a number of stanchions (4,4?) of identical shape which are suspended at mutual spacings between a barrier boom (2) hinged to a barrier housing (1) and swivable in the vertical plane and a rail (6,6?) running parallel to the barrier boom. The ends of the stanchions (4,4?) with which they are swivably connected to a guide rail (6,6?) running parallel to the barrier boom (2) or to a guide groove (5) on the barrier boom (2) are designed as cranked ends (13), thereby avoiding dangerous shearing and pinching points. The stanchions (4,4?) have a multi-part design and can be assembled from the individual parts and mounted without using a tool and can be replaced individually when required.

  • Patent number: 8657190
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for a checkpoint, comprising a controlled access passage, the exit of which is closed by an exit door (gate). Said exit door (5) opens in response to a signal of a least one biometric unit (8) which is arranged in the controlled access space (3) and by which the biometric features of a person desiring passage can be detected, and said biometric unit (8) is arranged frontally opposite of the entrance to the controlled access space (3) and preferably integrated in the exit door (5) of the controlled access space (3). A person entering the controlled access space (3) is therefore immediately located quasi automatically in the correct position for detection by the biometric unit (8), which is to say, frontally opposite of the biometric unit.

  • Publication number: 20130326958
    Abstract: The invention relates to a passage barrier for controlling the access a building or a site, comprising a blocking element that can be pivoted or rotated in both directions about an axis in a defined angle from a blocking position in order to grant access, a drive motor and an overload coupling between the output shaft of the drive motor and the drive shaft of the blocking element. According to the invention, the coupling is designed as an asymmetrical overload coupling and the limit torque that must be overcome is greater in one rotational direction than in the other rotational direction of the blocking element. When the limit torque that must be overcome is greater in the direction of the access to a building or a site than in the direction of the exit, a reliable personal access control and, e.g. in a hazardous situation or in case of panic, the largely unhindered leaving of the building or site can be ensured.

  • Patent number: 8522477
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary lock which is used to control the passage of people and comprises a locking unit that can be blocked and unblocked, can be rotated about an inclined rotational axis, and comprises preferably three blocking arms (2) which can successively, in progressive steps, be brought from a position blocking the passage of a person into a position freeing the passage of a person. In the event of a breakdown or danger, the unhindered passage of any number of people is enabled by locking a respective blocking arm (2) on a bearing plate (4) carrying the blocking arms (2) in an articulated manner (4), by means of a locking element (7) engaging in an opening (8). In the event of a breakdown, the locking element (7) of the blocking arm (2) located in the blocking position is mechanically released from the engagement in the opening (8), and an eccentric force applied to the blocking arm (2) pivots the same out of the normal position thereof into the release position thereof.

  • Publication number: 20070246324
    Abstract: Disclosed is a driving device for passage gates or thoroughfare gates and door or gate drives. Said driving device comprises a brushless DC servo motor to which a servo regulator is assigned. The output shaft of said DC servo motor is directly connected to the drive shaft of the locking element. The DC servo motor can be accurately regulated to a great extent regarding rotational speed, torque, etc. and can be adapted to different requirements via the servo regulator such that the same motor can be used for many different applications along with said servo regulator, i.e. a continuous drive system is created. Coupling gears and reduction gears, i.e. parts that are prone to malfunction and wear, can be dispensed with due to the fact that the locking element is directly driven, thus requiring less maintenance work at greater intervals.

  • Patent number: 6272943
    Abstract: A drive mechanism for a barrier or a stop or gate device includes a drive unit having a drive motor (17) to which at least one single-stage step-down gear, worm gear and/or spur gear with an articulation to a pivoting crank (38) is connected, with the crank being mounted on a primary shaft (46) pivoting preferably around a horizontal axis at bearing points on both sides. The shaft is provided with a fixing device (40) for the barrier beam (41) or gate element which can generally pivot at an angle of approximately 90° in addition to abutments for the compensation springs (48) which act upon their spring crank. The drive mechanism further includes a single-part, single-piece drive casing (G) with open, flat securing flange strips (2) on all sides and a receiving flange (14) to secure the drive motor (17) which can be dismantled and removed. The motor shaft (36) of the drive motor is introduced into a gear case (9) which can be closed by a cover (10) and which contains a set-down gear.
