A gate opener stand is comprised of a plurality of support tubing connected to a horizontal brace and a platform at one end of the plurality of support tubing. The opposite ends of the plurality of support tubing are held in place via a brace. The platform includes a pair of ears extending from opposite sides of the platform. Apertures within extended rounded ends of the horizontal brace align with the pair of ears extending from the platform. A pair of braces connects the platform to the horizontal brace and provides additional reinforcement and strength to the gate opener stand. In an alternative embodiment, a method of manufacture and assembly of the gate opener stand is disclosed.

An information processing device of the present invention includes: a matching means that executes a matching process of performing matching between an object within a captured image obtained by capturing a pre-passing side region of a gate and a previously registered object; a distance estimating means that estimates a distance from the gate to the object within the captured image by using a reference value set based on an attribute of the object within the captured image; and a gate controlling means that controls opening and closing of the gate based on a result of the matching and the estimated distance to the object within the captured image.

The objective of this application is to provide a switch device of a turnstile passage, consisting of a flap, a base, a frame, a guide rail mechanism arranged on the base and movably connected to the flap, a connecting rod swing mechanism 5 arranged on the frame 3, and a driving mechanism 6. One end of the connecting rod swing mechanism is rotationally connected to the flap so that the flap on the guide rail mechanism reciprocates between a closed position and an open position of the turnstile passage when the connecting rod swing mechanism swings; and the other end of the rod connecting rod swing mechanism is rotationally connected to the driving mechanism for driving the connecting rod swing mechanism to swing.

A latch includes a housing that has a first side and a second side. The latch includes a bolt locking assembly that is positioned at least partially within the housing. The bolt locking assembly includes a bolt movable between first and second positions relative to at least one of the first and second sides of the housing. The bolt is positionable to selectively extend from either the first side or the second of the housing. The latch includes a first handing configuration and a second handing configuration, where the first handing configuration corresponds to the first position and the second handing configuration corresponds to the second position. Changing between the first handing configuration and the second handing configuration requires moving the bolt locking assembly to a disengaged position and applying the external force to the bolt to move the bolt between the first and second positions.

Disclosed is an access control apparatus according to the present invention. The access control apparatus includes: a body located on a passage; an opening and closing part coupled to the body and having a folding arm adapted to open and close the passage; and a driving part coupled to the body to control an operation of the opening and closing part, wherein the folding arm includes a first link whose one end is rotatably coupled to the body and a second link whose one end is coupled to the body in such a manner as to be straightly moved by means of the driving part and whose other end is foldably coupled to the other end of the first link.

Embodiments of the present invention are related to an improved gate hinge with a post assembly including an L-Bracket, a post assembly extension, and a swing axis bolt with a T-Joint. A gate assembly includes an L-Bracket and gate assembly extension. The post assembly and gate assembly are connected via connecting bolt. The swing axis bolt is oriented vertically on the post assembly extension and the connecting bolt is oriented horizontally on the gate assembly extension. The connecting bolt connects the gate assembly to the post assembly at the T-Joint. The gate assembly extension rotates via the T-Joint on the swing axis bolt. The post assembly extension distally extends a bottom portion of a gate attached to the gate assembly relative to a top portion of the gate. The distal extension creates an elevated angle between the gate bottom and ground when the improved gate hinge is actuated.

A maintenance system for a gate device includes a controller, at least one temperature sensor, and an evaluation unit. The controller has a motor control unit which actuates a drive apparatus for driving a gate member, and a non-volatile memory which stores gate data. The gate data is retrievable from the non-volatile memory. The at least one temperature sensor is arranged in a region of the drive apparatus. The at least one temperature sensor continuously transmits a detected temperature as further gate data to the non-volatile memory of the controller. The evaluation unit creates a temperature curve for each of the at least one temperature sensor over a preset operating cycle. A comparison of more than one temperature curve allows a conclusion to be drawn of a need for maintenance of the gate device.

A hinge has a first component that pivotally supports a second component of the hinge. The first hinge component carries an energy harvesting switch having a movable operator such as a spring-projected plunger that is positioned to be depressed or otherwise moved by the second hinge component in response to relative pivotal movement of the first and second hinge components. If a gate is fastened to the second hinge component, at least some of the weight of the gate is transferred from the second hinge component to the first hinge component. When the gate is pivoted away from a closed orientation toward an open orientation, the second hinge component moves the operator of the energy harvesting switch thereby causing the energy harvesting switch to emit a radio frequency signal.

A gate apparatus having an automatically returning gate, an upper latch operated by an upper button, and a lower latch operated by an upper finger handle. Each of the latches must be opened to open the gate. The gate returns without the aid of a spring to a position close to the closed position or to the closed position by the structure of a pivot or hinge connection between the gate and the frame of the gate. Gate tubes are rectangular in section for their entire length. Wood panels are included in the gate and excluded from other portions of the gate apparatus to make the gate stand out to the user seeking to open the gate.
