  • Patent number: 9822501
    Abstract: A dual arm barrier assembly comprising spaced-apart stanchions and a pair of barrier arms pivotally connected to a first stanchion for movement between closed and open positions. The barrier arms have distal end portions immediately adjacent to and out of engagement with the second stanchion when in the closed position during normal operation and when the vehicle is out of engagement with the barrier arms. The first barrier arm in the closed position is at a height corresponding to vehicle's windshield, and the second barrier arm in the closed position is below the first barrier arm and is at a height corresponding approximately to the vehicle's body or frame. The second stanchion engages the barrier arms only when the vehicle presses against barrier arms, thereby securely retaining the barrier arms in the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20170016264
    Abstract: A linear gate drive assembly with a drive rail connectable to a gate panel. The drive rail has a first drive surface. A linear drive portion is coupled to the first drive surface and has teeth thereon with a first rolling tooth profile. The linear drive portion defines a toothed second drive surface. Dive motors are pivotally coupled to a support structure. A first drive wheel is attached to one drive motor and engages the first drive surface to impart an axial drive force on the drive rail. A second drive wheel is attached to another drive motor and engages the second drive surface. The second drive wheel has second teeth that mate with the first teeth and that define a second rolling tooth profile that substantially corresponds to the first rolling tooth profile. Rotation of the second drive wheel imparts axial and normal forces via a rolling teeth interface the mating teeth for moving the drive rail and the gate panel.

  • Publication number: 20120198773
    Abstract: A linear gate drive assembly with a drive rail connectable to a gate panel. A linear drive portion having a toothed drive surface is coupled to a first drive surface of the drive rail and has teeth thereon with a first rolling tooth profile. A drive wheel is attached to one drive motor and engages the first drive surface to impart an axial drive force on the drive rail. Another drive wheel is attached to another drive motor and engages the second drive surface. The second drive wheel has teeth that mate with the first teeth and that define another rolling tooth profile corresponding to the first rolling tooth profile.
