Abstract: An access control gate with a mechanical guide forms one or more access lanes for patrons. A contactless access reader which is connected to a software controlled verification system identifies access right of patrons shortly before the person approaches a gate threshold formed by two motor driven flaps which when closed protrude into the access lane from left and right of the lateral lane boundaries. A verification system activates the flaps when an access right has been granted. Two or more photoelectric barriers define a detection zone behind the gate threshold and detect the passage of patrons through the gate threshold and the exit of the detection zone. The flaps are closed with highest possible speed after the patron has left the detection zone regularly, and are moved with low speed if an irregular passage is detected.

Two or more photoelectric barriers detect the passage of patrons through the gate threshold, wherein the detecting beams are spaced apart by between 1 and 10 inches and directed to the lane zone behind the gate threshold. The flaps are closed after the patron has passed through.

Abstract: In a device for controlling access in a passage lane, particularly for controlling people, comprising a housing for receiving electronic components, particularly comprising a reader for tickets, the housing forming a lateral delimitation of the passage lane, it is suggested, for simple and rapid maintenance and putting into operation, that the housing have housing openings (3) directed toward the passage lane (2), the housing opening (3) be closable by covers (4), and at least two of the covers (4) be implemented as supports for electrical and/or mechanical modular components, particularly an identification module for tickets, a controller component for controlling an access control, a data transfer module for data exchange with further electrical and/or mechanical components, and/or a display module for displaying information, the particular modular components being positioned on an interior of the cover (4) implemented as a support, and being replaceable together with the cover (4).

Abstract: An access control gate with a mechanical guidance forms one or more access lanes for patrons. First electronic means include a contactless access reader which is connected to a software controlled verification system to identify the access right of patrons, second means comprise two motor driven flaps which protrude from left and right of the lateral lane boundaries into the access lane thereby forming the closed gate threshold 4. The contactless access reader is arranged to capture the access right of the approaching patron short before he approaches the gate threshold 4. The verification system 13 activates the flaps 7 and 7? when an access right has been approved to swing out of the lane A to indicate to the approaching patron the granted access right.

Abstract: In a method and a system for selling authorizations for events or the like, particularly for various types of tickets, sellable authorizations are defined in databases, and an advance booking agency or a purchaser accesses via the Internet the database for reserving and/or purchase of the authorizations. The venues are equipped with admission readers for identifying tickets provided in the form of data carriers, and the admission readers of each venue communicate with an area server, which includes a database of the sold authorizations for this venue. The servers are connected via a network, for example the Internet. The advance booking agencies or private users connect to a Web server by entering suitable addresses. The Web server retrieves the sellable price quotation from the database of the area server over a secure connection, and displays the sellable price quotation on the display of the advance booking office.

Abstract: In a device for access control, the authorizations are stored on tickets in the form of a barcode. A reader unit is connected to an evaluating unit and controls devices that signal and/or block access. The reader unit has an insertion zone for a ticket wherein the insertion zone is larger than a ticket dimension. A multidirectional laser scanner scans the entire insertion zone in several lines oriented at an oblique angle relative to one another. The device can be used with different ticket formats such as air-travel tickets and check cards.

Abstract: A method of blocking passage of a user through a passageway comprising a turnstile with a housing; a drive and a locking element in which a barrier arm is set in motion following verification of the access authorization of a user wishing to pass, rotating the barrier arm from its blocking position into a position out of line of passage. The advance of the user is then detected by a downstream sensor, in particular an opto-electronic sensor, which causes the barrier arm to rotate further in the same direction into the blocking position.

Abstract: A barrier for a roadway has an upright (1), a barrier arm (9) fitted on a horizontal drive spindle (2), a pivoting mechanism and a balancing spring (8) supporting the opening and closing movements of the barrier arm (9). The balancing spring (8) has an untensioned zero position (0) between the blocking position (S) and the open position (F) of the barrier arm (9).

Abstract: In a turnstile with a housing, a drive shaft and barrier arms projecting therefrom at offset angles, after the right of entry of a passing user has been checked, a drive motor is started up contactlessly in order to rotate the turnstile from the blocking position of a barrier arm to a subsequent narrow-angle stop position. The approach of the user to the barrier arm in the stop position is recognized by an electro-optical sensor which is arranged behind the barrier arm in the direction of passage when in the blocking position in order to rotate the turnstile contactlessly into the next blocking position.
