A passage gate for allowing or preventing people to enter or to exit a passage area comprising a base portion (110) and a panel portion (120) is provided. The passage gate (100) is configured to be driven in a first operation mode and a second operation mode. When the passage gate (100) is driven in the first operation mode the panel portion (120) is slidable relative the base portion (110) between a first open position, allowing people to pass, and a closed position preventing people from passing through the passage gate (100). When the passage gate (100) is driven in the second operation mode the base portion (110) is rotatable between the closed position and a second open position for achieving a larger passage area.

An access control device includes a primary access barrier configured move between a closed position and an open position. The primary access barrier may be configured to extend into an access passage of the access control device to prevent access through the access passage when in the closed position and to move away from the access passage to permit access through the access passage when in an open position. An entry access barrier is positionable in the access passage of the access control device on a first side of the primary access barrier, and an exit barrier is positionable in the access passage of the access control device on a second side of the primary access barrier opposite the first side. Systems and methods relate to access control devices.

A gate system includes a cam sled having a cam plate configured to slide along a rail. The gate system also includes a cam follower engaged with the cam plate and coupled to a gate assembly. Actuation of a power source to move the cam sled along the rail causes the gate assembly to rotate about an axis and mechanically lock into position in open or closed orientations of the gate assembly.

An access control system for restricting access through a passageway includes a shaft rotatable about a central axis; a barrier fixed to the shaft to rotate therewith; and a brake assembly. The brake assembly includes a sun gear rotatable about the central axis, a carrier, and a ring gear, wherein one of the carrier or the ring gear is fixed against rotation and the other of the carrier or ring gear is connected to the shaft to rotate therewith. A plurality of planet gears are rotatably connected to the carrier, each planet gear being disposed between and engaging with each of the sun gear and the ring gear. An electromagnetic brake comprises an electromagnet and an armature. The armature is connected to or integral with the sun gear to rotate and move axially therewith. At least one of the electromagnet or the armature is moveable between an operative position and an inoperative position.

The present invention relates to an access control device having at least one movably mounted barrier element, which can be moved to a blocking position, in which it blocks access, and an access position, in which access is enabled. In order to enable a variable use in different locations without time-consuming assembly, for example in order to variably delimit different spaces in a casino or an event location, the movable barrier element is mounted on a barrier support which includes free-standing ground contact means for the anchor-free, position-variable putting up of a barrier element on the ground. A lateral delimitation laterally enclosing or extending the at least one barrier element has a modular design and can be assembled from a number of side pieces which can be variably joined end to end under different angles and which together form the lateral delimitation.

The present invention relates to an access control device having at least one turnstile which has at least one barrier element that forms a turnstile arm and can be moved into a blocking position in which it blocks the access and into an access position in which it opens the access, an illumination device for illuminating the barrier element being provided. According to the invention, the barrier element forms an at least approximately planar illuminating panel that is made of a transparent material at least in sections and is fastened to a turnstile post at one end section and otherwise projects out freely. In particular an on-screen display element can be integrated into the barrier element and/or can form the barrier element, wherein said on-screen display element can be made of electronic paper with an image-storing function for the changeable display of information.

A passage control device for persons is provided, including at least one housing, at least one blocking element held so as to be movable relative to the housing, a drive, arranged substantially in the housing, for blocking and releasing and/or moving the at least one blocking element, and a control unit for the drive, which acts in combination with a control element for identifying an authorization, and which controls the drive in accordance with the authorization, in order either to block or release, and/or to move, the blocking element. The housing is constructed having a frame element formed substantially of a plastic or a plastic composite material, having a support structure, arranged inside the frame element, for the blocking element and the drive, and having a rear and a front cover plate, which are formed substantially of a plastic or a plastic composite material and fastened to the frame element.

An electric gate system adapted to close an open space. The electric gate system includes a support disposed at an edge of the open space, and a first plurality of gate segments. Each of the first plurality of gate segments has a closed operative orientation and an open operative orientation, where the closed operative orientation and the open operative orientation are in a single plane and are rotationally offset from one another. A gate opening assembly is attached to the support. At least one electric motor is functionally associated with each of a second plurality of gate segments, the second plurality of gate segments being a subset of the first plurality of gate segments. During operation thereof, the at least one electric motor causes simultaneous rotational motion of all gate segments in the second plurality of gate segments.

A one-way passage system (1) comprises an entrance door arrangement (2a) and offset therefrom an exit door arrangement (2b). First and second side wall arrangements (3a, 3b) are provided therebetween, thereby defining a passage area (4). A sensor device (5) can detect persons (10): a) before the entrance door arrangement (2a); b) in the passage area (4) and/or after the exit door arrangement (2b).
A control device is configured to enter a safety operating mode and to close the entrance door arrangement (2a) when an analysis of sensor data indicates that a person (10): a) in the passage area (4) goes back in the direction of the entrance door arrangement (2a); and/or b) goes back after the exit door arrangement (2b) in the direction of the passage area (4).
An illumination device (20), which is arranged in the passage area (4) can illuminate the passage area in different colors. The control device can enter different operating modes, wherein the entrance door arrangement (2a) and the exit door arrangement (2b) are controlled accordingly depending on the operating mode, and wherein the illumination device (20) illuminates the passage area (4) with different colors depending on the operating mode.
