Every standpipe 4 is via two parallel transverse tubes 5 with the hinged door 2 connected. The cross tubes 5 each extend into a connection element 6 as a connecting sleeve 7 trained and at the swing gate 2 is arranged.

The 2 and 3 show different views of the swing gate 2 out 1 in assembled condition with optical veneers (in front of the technical components). The 5 and 6 show the swing door without veneer according to the 2 and 3 ,

A support element 8th serves as the base part of the hinged door 2 and is by means of an integrated base plate 8a anchored to the ground. On side walls 9 of the support element 8th are the connecting sleeves 7 fastened so that the support element 8th the swing door 2 in the customer guidance system 3 is integrated. The side walls 9 form the U-legs of the cross-sectionally U-shaped support element 8th ,

The side walls 9 of the support element 8th may preferably have a groove (T-groove) or a row of holes such that the connecting elements 6 are height adjustable. By using a groove, the connection elements can be continuously adjusted in height and adapted to any configuration of the customer control system. Alternatively, a perforated strip with a position grid can be used. Due to the height adjustment of the connection elements 6 can be easily responded to different customer requirements.

The U-base of the support element 8th is from a front wall 10 formed, extending between the two side walls 9 extends. At the Tragele ment 8th is on the front wall 10 in the lower area a drive module 12 Arranged behind a delusion 13 which may be part of a module housing. At the upper end of the support element 8th is a leader module 14 arranged flush with the upper end of the support element 8th closes and with the drive module 12 flees.

The front wall is preferred 10 contoured and has an undercut 11 with a groove-like structure that extends over the entire length of the front wall 10 extends, reducing the stability of the support element 8th is reinforced. This preferred embodiment offers the possibility of the drive module 12 and / or the leadership module 14 on the front wall 10 height adjustable train.

The leadership module 14 also has a veneer 14a on, by which the leadership module 14 is covered. The delusion 14a can be part of a module housing. It has a slot-shaped opening 14b , behind which there is a sensor, in particular a radar sensor. Both the delusion 13 as well as the delusion 14a are semicircular, so that sharp edges are avoided, where customers can encounter when passing through the hinged door. In addition, created by the semicircular veneer 13 . 14a a visually appealing impression. The diaphragms correspond to the cylindrical shape of one between the drive module 12 and the leadership module 14 arranged swivel module 15 ,

The swivel module 15 is between the drive module 12 and the leadership module 14 stored. It includes a tubular cylinder 16 on which a door handle 17 is attached. The door handle 17 is U-shaped, with the two (horizontally oriented) U-legs 18a . 18b in two pipe sockets 19 of the cylinder 16 of the swivel module 15 are attached.

On the two U-thighs 18a . 18b is in each case a holding element 20 attached, which is preferably elongated. Between the two holding elements 20 can be a plate-shaped advertising medium 21 be used on which an information or a customer logo may be appropriate. Of course, the retaining elements 20 also directly on the cylinder 16 and on the cylinder 16 opposite vertical section of the door handle 17 be arranged.

The holding elements 20 can a light strip 20a have, for example, can be designed as LED lighting. These light stripes 20a For example, they may light green to prompt a customer to pass through the transit facility. On the rear side of the door handle located in the passage direction 17 can the light strips 20a the holding elements 20 a red light that either stays on or turns on when needed. The red light strip 20a serves as a stop light that warns against passing through the transit system. In this way, the psychological inhibition threshold for passing against the desired direction will be established.

The 8a . 8b show a cross section through the door handle 17 with the retaining elements 20 , The holding elements 20 are preferably formed as hollow profiles to reduce their weight. They point to the U-thighs 18a . 18b opposite flat side a staggered groove 43 on. The groove 43 has an inner groove portion 44 , the U-thigh 18a . 18b is adjacent, and an outer groove portion 45 at the free end of the groove 43 ,

Between the two groove sections 44 . 45 results in a gradation 46 such that the inner groove portion 44 a smaller distance of the groove side walls 47 as the outer groove portion 45 having. The groove spacing of the inner groove portion 44 corresponds to the thickness of the advertising medium 21 which is in this groove section 44 is inserted or trapped. Preferably, the insertion without tools is possible, especially if the plate-shaped advertising medium 21 flexible and / or elastic.

Between the advertising medium 21 and the groove sidewall 47 is in the outer groove section 45 A gap 46 educated, 8a . 8b , In this gap 46 For example, a further thin carrier can be used, for example a foil or a similar print medium. In this way, current customer information, special offers or similar information can be used without tools, so that the advertising messages can be exchanged quickly and easily.

As in the 4 and 6 It can be seen at the back of the swing gate 2 between the two side walls 9 of the support element 8th an installation space 28 formed, in which components for control and power supply and components for the sensors Kgs recorded NEN. The support element 8th has an aperture on the back 29 that the installation space 28 concludes. It is preferably angled at the upper end such that the upper opening of the installation space 28 is covered.

5 shows that the drive module 12 one as engine 22 trained drive element 23 includes, as a slip clutch 24 trained clutch 25 with a lower bearing element of the swivel module 15 cooperates such that a movement of a drive shaft 27 of the drive module 12 a pivoting of the swivel module 15 causes. The lower bearing element and a corresponding upper bearing element of the swivel module 15 are preferably each formed as a short cylindrical shaft. The two bearing elements may preferably be non-positively or positively connected with each other or formed from a continuous shaft.

In the detail drawing in 9 are two fasteners 30 shown a through hole 31 have, through which the drive shaft 27 of the drive module 12 or the lower bearing element of the swivel module 15 and a cylinder flange 40 the clutch 25 extend. The fasteners 30 correspond with the delusion 13 or the housing of the drive module 12 and with the front wall 10 of the support element 8th ,

In a preferred embodiment, the drive module 12 and / or the leadership module 14 height adjustable on the support element 8th arranged. The height adjustment is achieved by the vertically aligned longitudinal groove 32 trained undercut 11 realized. The fasteners 30 are preferred in shape to the longitudinal groove 32 adjusted and become by means of (through the front wall 10 extending) screws on the front wall 10 attached. Alternatively, other fastening means may be provided to the fastener 30 in the corresponding longitudinal groove 32 to hold and fix. For example, the fasteners 30 also in the longitudinal groove 32 be trapped. Within the longitudinal groove 32 is a continuous displacement of the drive module 12 into a desired position (height) possible. This can be a hinged door 2 to different height swivel modules 15 be adapted easily and without much effort.

For example, a customer wants a swivel module 15 , whose U-legs 18a . 18b of the door handle 17 have a significantly greater distance than that of a standard pivoting module (for example, half the length of the support element 8th ), so the drive module 12 moved down, with the fastener 30 in the longitudinal groove 32 guided down and secured in a lower position. In this case, only the veneer needs 13 of the drive module 12 or a corresponding housing of the drive module 12 adapted to the new position. The drive module 12 itself remains unchanged. This results in a great flexibility of the modular structure of the swing door 2 , On the one hand, it can respond flexibly to customer requests. On the other hand, for different swivel modules 15 no different drive components are stocked, so the drive modules 12 can be produced in larger quantities and at lower costs.

In the 7a and 7b is the slip clutch 24 shown in detail. It includes an inner cylindrical box 33 coming from an outer cylindrical sleeve 35 with several recesses 36 Coaxially enclosed. In the inner cylinder can 33 are four as balls 37 trained locking elements arranged, each by a spring 38 held so that the balls 37 in the recesses 36 the sleeve 35 be pressed. By means of an adjusting screw 39 The spring force can be adjusted so that the triggering of the slip clutch 24 necessary force is adjustable.

The cylindrical box 33 has at its one end face a cylinder flange 40 on, which preferably has an axial groove 41 has and in the installed state with the lower bearing element of the swivel module 15 interacts. The axial groove 41 allows a positive connection with the (corresponding) bearing element of the swivel module 15 , The sleeve 35 the slip clutch 24 has at its the cylinder flange 40 opposite end face a hollow shaft 42 whose axial axis coincides with the axial axis of the cylinder flange 40 is identical. The hollow shaft 42 is in assembled condition with the drive shaft 27 of the drive module 12 connected.

In the preferred embodiment of the slip clutch shown here 24 has the outer cylinder sleeve 35 four recesses 36 on each of which two are facing each other such that the (four) springs 38 are aligned in parallel. The slip clutch 24 therefore has only one job. The use of such a coupling has the advantage that the hinged door 2 can be moved mechanically in both directions, ie in or against the pivoting direction of the opening process in a panic situation. The hinged door can therefore be used both on the right-hand or left-hand side of a pedestrian passage system in the direction of passage.
