  • Patent number: 9212513
    Abstract: A drive device for embarkation and disembarkation devices of public transportation vehicles includes a drive unit arranged within and for driving a rotary column. The drive unit rotates the rotary column about the rotary column longitudinal axis Z-Z during opening and closing processes of the embarkation and disembarkation devices. The drive device is supported on the vehicle. The drive unit includes a drive motor, a non-self-locking reduction gear, and a controllable blocking component with which a rotation of the rotary column can be blocked. The drive device further includes a sensor for detecting the magnitude of an external force, wherein the force acts on the drive device. The drive device further includes an element for analyzing signals of the sensor and for triggering the blocking effect of the blocking component when an external force measured by the sensor exceeds a threshold.

  • Patent number: 9085921
    Abstract: The invention relates to an unlatching device (20) for public transportation vehicles, comprising a deflection rocker (4) connected to a first rotatable shaft (6), said deflection rock being connected by means of a connecting element (5), to an unlocking element of a lock and being provided with a projecting driving pin (11), and further comprising an actuating lever (8), which is mounted on the first shaft (6) and rotatable about the first shaft (6), and a cam wheel (1) connected to a second rotatable shaft (7), said cam wheel meshing with the deflection rocker (4). A rotation of the cam wheel (1) causes a pivoting of the deflection rocker (4), and thus a movement of the connecting element (5) and unlocking of the lock. Rotating the actuating lever (8) causes the actuating lever (8) to come in contact with the driving pin (11), and to catch said driving pin and during further rotation also the deflection rocker (4), whereby the connecting element (5) is moved and the lock unlocked.

  • Patent number: 8915017
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive device (20) for entrance and exit devices for public transportation vehicles, comprising a drive unit (22) that is arranged in and drives a rotary column (24) rotating about a rotational axis Z-Z during opening and closing operations, said column opening and closing the entrance and exit device. The drive unit (22) is held on the vehicle via a retaining component (40). The retaining component (40) acts as counter bearing for a torque of the drive unit (22). Between the drive unit (22) and the retaining component (40), a coupling device (72) is arranged, which enables a rotation of the drive unit (22) about the rotational axis Z-Z when a threshold value of the torque acting upon the drive unit is exceeded. Between the coupling device (72) and the retaining component (40), a bearing is provided, which enables a tumbling motion of the rotary column (24) with the coupling device (72) and prevents a rotation about the rotational axis Z-Z.
