The present lift lock is employed on a gate that is swingable and liftable on a first axis. In a first position the lift lock is on the first axis and in a blocking position that prevents the gate from being lifted relative to a barrier having the gate. The lift lock is slideable away from the first position on the axis to a second position away from the axis where the lift lock is in an unblocking position, thereby permitting the gate to be lifted on the axis. The lift lock snaps into and out of the second position.

Hinges are disclosed including: a first hinge portion; a second hinge portion; a biasing means; and at least one hydraulic damper; the first and second hinge portions are connected together and are arranged to pivot with respect to one another about a hinge axis between an open condition and a closed condition; the biasing means is arranged to bias the hinge towards the closed condition; the at least one hydraulic damper is compressed from an extended condition to a retracted condition as the hinge moves from the open condition to the closed condition; at least one of the hinge portions is arranged to attach to a gate; and wherein the at least one damper is located outside of the gate and inside one of the hinge portions.

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.

Systems and methods for providing a wireless lock system include a locking device wherein the locking device comprises a retractable bolt and a wireless communication transceiver. The systems and methods can also include a bolt catch that is configured to couple with the retractable bolt, wherein, when coupled, the bolt and locking device are locked into a static position relative to the bolt catch. A keypad programmable with a plurality of combination buttons and a wireless communication transceiver can be configured to communicate with the bridge wirelessly. The bolt then protrudes from the locking device to couple with the bolt catch and decouples from the bolt catch and recedes into the locking device in response to one or more wireless signals received from a wireless device. A wireless communication bridge device may also be utilized to provide additional wireless communication links to further devices to expand user reach and interoperability.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein that may be used to monitor a movable barrier operated by a movable barrier operator. In some embodiments, a system includes a camera configured to capture frames, and a control circuit. The camera has a field of view that defines a boundary of each of the frames. The control circuit is configured to receive a first frame, identify a stationary object in the first frame, and define a region of interest “ROI” relative to the stationary object in the first frame. The control circuit is further configured to receive a second frame, identify the stationary object in the second frame, determine whether at least a portion of the ROI is outside of the second frame, and cause the movable barrier operator to enter a failsafe mode upon the at least a portion of the ROI being outside of the second frame.

The invention relates to a sliding security gate inside a pocket attached to an interior pre-hung hinged door. These pocket sliding security gates can be assembled inside any doorway opening of one's home for the protection of babies, toddlers, pets, and disabled elderly. On one hand, the Pre-Hung Hinged Door and Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be used as a dual functioned component that can be used in a normal setting to provide privacy; on the other hand, the Pre-Hung Hinged Door and Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be used as a half door that is assembled as a pocket sliding security gate to provide safety and security to the vulnerable population listed above. In addition, this pocket sliding security gate also has an alarm attached to the security gate so that when it opens, the alarm sounds to let the gatekeeper know that the security has been breached.

A vehicle barrier gate system which is positioned above a roadway through which vehicles pass. Some of the various embodiments of the present disclosure include a gate comprised of an arm and barrier which is adjustable between a raised position in which a vehicle may pass and a lowered position in which a vehicle is prevented from passing. The gate may be movably connected to a ceiling or an overhead support structure positioned above the roadway. Various types of actuators may be utilized to adjust the gate along a linear and/or angular path between the raised and lowered positions. A control unit may be in communication with one or more sensors and/or an authorization system to control the actuator. The gate may include a breakaway mechanism which allows the gate to be manually raised or lowered in the event of actuator failure or a vehicle ramming through the gate.

The present double door gate apparatus has a first lowermost frame member with a first inner end and a second lowermost frame member with a second inner end. The first and second inner ends are spaced apart and engaged by a first connector that engages exterior portions of the inner ends and a second connector that engages interior portions of the inner ends. First and second gates have inner ends that confront each other more closely than the inner ends of the lowermost frame members confront each other.

A movable barrier opener system having a brushless DC motor is provided. The movable barrier opener system may have a power supply unit with a drive circuit power module and a storage bank. The storage bank may be chargeable by the drive circuit power module and may be connectable to the drive assembly to provide electrical power to the drive assembly to move the movable barrier. The drive circuit power module may be selectably turned on and off to improve efficiency of power consumption by turning off during periods of lowered demand.

A gate may generally include a gatepost and a plurality of rails pivotally connected to the gatepost and having a plurality of posts hingedly attached to at least one of the plurality of rails. The gate may include a lift system having a translating device in communication with a sprocket, wherein the lift system provides an adjustable force to rotate the plurality of rails from a horizontal position to an upward position. The adjustable force may be provided by a turnbuckle. The gate may include a ground anchor system that allows axial rotation of the plurality of rails about a longitudinal axis of the gatepost.
