Abstract

A passage barrier includes two guide elements that cooperate such that they define a gate region, through which a person passes from an entrance region into a passage region. At least one of the guide elements includes a vertically running profile, on which a locking apparatus is arranged. The locking apparatus has a torque transmission toothing, which engages into a complementary torque reception toothing of a hollow shaft of a drive. A circular stop disc is also provided and has a toothing engagement, which is engaged with the torque transmission toothing. The stop disc has a circumferential surface with a stop lug, which protrudes radially from the stop disc circumferential surface, and cooperates with a stop element arranged on the vertically running profile such that a rotation of the stop disc is delimited by the engagement of the stop lug against the stop element.

Claims (37)

1. A passage barrier comprising:

a first guide element and

a second guide element, wherein

the first guide element and the second guide element cooperate such that they define a gate region through which a person is able to pass from an entrance region to a passage region,

at least one barrier element, wherein

the barrier element is arranged inside the gate region, wherein

the barrier element, the first guide element, and the second guide element cooperate such that a passage of the person from the entrance region to the passage region is prevented or allowed, and

a drive,

having a drive unit and a hollow shaft

wherein

the drive unit, the hollow shaft, and the barrier element are operatively connected such that the barrier element is movable by the drive unit between a position wherein the barrier element prevents the passage of the person through the gate region and a position wherein the barrier element allows the passage of the person through the gate region

wherein

at least one of the first and second guide elements comprises a vertically running profile on which a locking apparatus is arranged, wherein the locking apparatus has a torque transmission toothing which engages into a complementary torque reception toothing of the hollow shaft, wherein a circular stop disc has a toothing engagement which is engaged with the torque transmission toothing of the locking apparatus and the stop disc has a stop lug protruding radially from a circumferential surface of the stop disc, the stop lug cooperates with a stop element arranged on the vertically running profile in such a manner that a rotation of the stop disc is delimited by the engagement of the stop lug against the stop element, wherein the torque transmission toothing comprises a plurality of teeth which protrude from the locking apparatus parallel to the vertically running profile.

2. The passage barrier, according to claim 1 , wherein the stop disc and the stop lug are formed monolithically.

3. The passage barrier, according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of teeth of the torque transmission toothing are arranged in a circle with identical radial spacing therebetween.

4. The passage barrier, according to claim 3 , wherein the toothing engagement of the stop disc comprises a plurality of openings corresponding to the plurality of teeth of the torque transmission toothing.

5. The passage barrier, according to claim 4 , wherein the stop lug of the stop disc is arranged opposite one of the openings of the toothing arrangement.

6. The passage barrier, according to claim 1 , wherein the stop element is arranged in the vertically running profile so as to be displaceable with respect to the vertically running profile.

7. The passage barrier, according to claim 1 , wherein the stop element has a semi-circular recess which partially surrounds the stop disc.

8. A method for manufacturing a passage barrier, wherein

the passage barrier has a first guide element and a second guide element, wherein

the first guide element and the second guide element cooperate such that they define a gate region through which a person is able to pass from an entrance region to a passage region,

the passage barrier further includes at least one barrier element, wherein

the barrier element is arranged inside the gate region, wherein

the barrier element, the first guide element and the second guide element cooperate in such a manner that a passage of the person from the entrance region to the passage region is prevented or allowed,

the passage barrier has a drive,

having a drive unit and a hollow shaft,

wherein

the drive unit, the hollow shaft and the barrier element are operatively connected such that the barrier element is movable by the drive unit between a position wherein the barrier element prevents the passage of the person through the gate region and a position wherein the barrier element allows the passage of the person through the gate region, wherein

the hollow shaft has an outer shell surface and

an inner shell surface, wherein

the inner shell surface and the drive unit are configured such that the inner shell surface surrounds the drive unit, at least one of the first and second guide elements comprises a vertically running profile

on which a locking apparatus is arranged, wherein the locking apparatus has a torque transmission toothing which engages into a complementary torque reception toothing of the hollow shaft, wherein a circular stop disc has a toothing engagement which is engaged with the torque transmission toothing of the locking apparatus and the stop disc has a stop lug protruding radially from a circumferential surface of the stop disc, the stop lug cooperates with a stop element arranged on the vertically running profile such that a rotation of the stop disc is delimited by the engagement of the stop lug against the stop element, wherein the torque transmission toothing comprises a plurality of teeth which protrude from the locking apparatus parallel to the vertically running profile,

the method including the following steps in any order:

arrangement of the locking apparatus on the vertically running profile,

arrangement of the stop element on the vertically running profile, and

arrangement of the stop disc on the locking apparatus and arrangement of the hollow shaft on the locking apparatus.
