Abstract: Proposed is a safety apparatus using blocking members, such as rope, for allowing or blocking passage of passengers and pedestrians. The safety apparatus of the present disclosure is configured to reduce a vertical distance of the blocking members when the vertically arranged blocking members are raised to allow passage and increase the vertical distance of the blocking members when the blocking members are lowered to block the passage and reduce a vertical length of the apparatus.

Abstract: Provided is a train platform safety device for preventing a safety accident, the train platform safety device including: at least one pair of lift drive units 10 installed at a position selected in a section from an entrance of a platform, where a train enters, to an exit of the platform; a plurality of movable bodies 20 provided inside the lift drive units 10 so as to be movable in a vertical direction; rope groups 30A and 30B including a plurality of ropes connecting the movable bodies 20 in a horizontal direction; and an interval maintaining unit 100 configured to connect, in the vertical direction, any one rope in the rope group 30B positioned at an upper side and any one rope in the rope group 30A positioned at a lower side so that a vertical interval between the rope groups 30A and 30B is maintained when the rope groups 30A and 30B are staggered as the plurality of movable bodies 20 and the rope groups 30A and 30B are moved downward by operations of the lift drive units 10.

Abstract: Disclosed is a safety device for train platforms, which is installed on a safety line of a platform of a subway station or a railway station so as to be raised and lowered. When a train has reached to boarding position of the platform, wire ropes (200) of the device are raised to allow passengers to board. When the train departs from the platform after the passengers have finished boarding, the wire ropes (200) are lowered to ensure the safety of passengers remaining on the platform. The safety device includes a wire rope raising/lowering means (100), two or more wire ropes (200), a wire rope holding means (300), and a wire rope control means (400). The wire rope raising/lowering means (100) has frames (110) secured upright at predetermined positions between a train entrance and a train exit of a platform which a train approaches, with a movable assembly (130) provided in each of the frames (110) so as to be moved upwards and downwards along the frame by a drive means (120).
