  • Patent number: 12077924
    Abstract: A passage control device having a corridor (1) and at least one pedestrian barrier (3), which, by the use of at least one blocking element (5) which is arranged in the region of the corridor (1) and can be moved between a blocking position and a passage position, releases or blocks the corridor (1) for a passage. Lateral boundaries (2) are arranged right and left of the corridor (1). The lateral boundaries (2) have a module rail (6) that is close to the ground and is provided with receptacles for functional elements and/or functional modules of the access control device, more particularly with specifically adapted receptacles for functional elements and/or functional modules of the access control device, preferably in a predefined grid.

  • Publication number: 20220268076
    Abstract: A pedestrian gate (3) for an access control device, having a blocking element (7) and having an actuating element (8), wherein the blocking element (7) is fastened to the actuating element (8) and is pivotable via the actuating element (8) about a vertical axis of rotation (11) between a blocking position and an access position. The blocking element (7) is, in a vertical projection, formed so as to run substantially rectilinearly and, here, defines a vertical blocking plane (12) which does not include the axis of rotation (11).

  • Publication number: 20190145169
    Abstract: A passage control device for persons is provided, including at least one housing, at least one blocking element held so as to be movable relative to the housing, a drive, arranged substantially in the housing, for blocking and releasing and/or moving the at least one blocking element, and a control unit for the drive, which acts in combination with a control element for identifying an authorization, and which controls the drive in accordance with the authorization, in order either to block or release, and/or to move, the blocking element. The housing is constructed having a frame element formed substantially of a plastic or a plastic composite material, having a support structure, arranged inside the frame element, for the blocking element and the drive, and having a rear and a front cover plate, which are formed substantially of a plastic or a plastic composite material and fastened to the frame element.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
