  • Patent number: 9224256
    Abstract: The invention relates to a walk-through security gate (1), in particular for the use at airports for demarcation between a secured zone and an unsecured zone, wherein the gate can be opened in accordance with the checking of access data such as a flight ticket and a blocking element (6) that blocks the gate is pivoted from a blocked position into a walk-through position in the context. Corresponding fully automatic solutions are part of the prior art in the context. For various reasons, however, there is a need for being able to also operate such “self-boarding gates” semi-automatically, i.e. in conjunction with support staff, wherein in the context the problem of the operating personnel obstructing the gate delimited by guide elements (4) arises. According to the invention, the problems is solved in that a console (5) is associated with at least one of the guide elements (4) that delimit the gate, by means of which console (5) the access data can be automatically retrieved.

  • Patent number: 5159203
    Abstract: In safety circuits for braking or arresting devices (7) of flywheel masses or machine parts, especially a revolving door, which are driven by electric motor and can be switched on electrically, in which at least one of two edges moving toward each other is provided with a pressure-sensitive electrical switching member (3) for generating interference signals. Interference signals generated during a disturbance are sent to an electronic control unit (1) and are used, by an electronic switch (8), to switch off the drive motor (10) and/or to switch on a braking or arresting device (7). The movement of the part provided with the movable edge or element is stopped even when the electrical switch (8) of the control unit (1) does not respond correctly in the presence of an interference signal. The reliability of the safety circuit is continuously checked.

  • Patent number: 5076013
    Abstract: In a security revolving door assembly for persons, comprising one blocking sector (13) and one passage sector (12) or two passage sectors (12), a motor-driven revolving door (10), which can be blocked by means of a braking device controllable by an electronic control unit, is arranged in the door housing. Peripheral identification devices (46, 47) are connected to the electronic control unit. To ensure reliable entry and exit control, blocking, which cannot be overcome at certain angular positions of the revolving door (10), but which always makes it possible to leave the door housing, is provided. This is achieved by means of a blocking disk (23) which is in a rigid rotating connection with the revolving door (10) and has, in a blocking plane, at least one stop face pair (26/1-26/2, 27/1-27/2, 28/1-28/2) with two stop faces (26/1 through 28/2), each acting in one reaction direction.
