Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety turnstile, allowing the passage of people in one direction and prohibiting it in the opposite direction.
  • Such turnstiles are commonly installed at the entrance to shops, stadiums or other public places to channel visitors.
  • This turnstile includes a head to which are attached radially extending arms, and which is rotatably mounted on a pivot placed on the top of a support post.
  • the turnstile is provided, in a known embodiment, with a ring which can be removably fixed at the base of the rotary head and around the top of the post to hold the head on the pivot, the latter overhanging in overhang. above the top of the post.
  • This ring has a threaded shoulder, by means of which it is aimed from below at the lower part of the rotating cylindrical head, to prevent this head from being able to be removed. To disengage the head, it is necessary to unscrew this ring which thus separates from the rotating head and releases it from its pivot.
  • This embodiment has the drawback that the screwing and unscrewing generally require the ring to be made several full turns. This operation therefore necessarily takes a longer time than would be desirable to disengage the rotating head if there is a panic movement towards the outlet controlled by the turnstile.
  • a crown is fixed or formed at the base of the head by reserving an annular passage between, on the one hand, the top of the post, and on the other hand the crown and the base of the head, and in this crown are provided with notches in which the corresponding projecting studs of the ring can snap in so that the latter can take two angular positions in the crown: a first position in which the ring is detached from the crown and consequently of the head which can be removed from the post, and a second position in which the ring is integral with the crown and retains the head on the pivot and the post, these two positions being separated by a predetermined angular interval.
  • This interval can be for example 45 degrees, so that to pass from the position of engagement of the ring on the crown to its release position allowing the release of the rotating head of the turnstile, it suffices to rotate 45 degrees.
  • This operation of releasing the head relative to the pivot can therefore be carried out much more quickly than with the previous embodiment with a threaded ring.
  • the ring has a projecting inner flange coaxial with the post, capable of being introduced into the annular passage between the head and the post, and provided with at least two pins adapted to engage in two associated notches formed in the crown, and at least two notches are arranged in said flange at predetermined angular intervals of the corresponding notches, for example 45 degrees, in order to receive the pins of the ring after a corresponding rotation of the latter, means elastic snap being provided to block the pins in the cranset as a result to secure the ring with the crown and the head.
  • latching means therefore normally keep the head fixed to the pivot and to the post, but they are arranged so as to be able to disappear under the effect of an opposing force exerted on the ring, which then makes it possible to cause the these elements a relative rotation of 45 degrees to the release position of the head.
  • a security turnstile may be installed at the entrance of a store, stadium or other places to channel visitors.
  • This turnstile comprises a head 1, of cylindrical shape, to which are fixed arms 2 extending radially, four in number arranged at right angles, and which is rotatably mounted on a vertical support post 3, by through a pivot not visible in Figure 1.
  • the rotary head 1 is arranged so as to allow the entry of customers or visitors in a direction of rotation, and to prohibit the exit in the opposite direction, the rotation of the head 1 and of the arms 2 being automatically prevented in the direction of exit.
  • the arms 2 are fixed to the head 1 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2, known per se.
  • the cylindrical head 1 has an internal housing 4, of generally cyclindrical shape, and inside which a corresponding cylindrical pivot 5 takes place, which rests on the top of the vertical post 3 to which it is fixed by a series of screws 6 These therefore pass through the pivot 5 and are screwed inside a socket 7 embedded inside the top of the post 3 and integral with the latter.
  • the housing 4 has an annular shoulder 8 against which the pivot 5 abuts.
  • the pivot 5 has a diameter greater than that of the post 3, above which it therefore overhangs, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 2.
  • the lower part of the head 1 extends below of the base of the pivot 5, and therefore delimits with the latter and the top of the post 3 an annular volume or passage 9.
  • a ring 11 is fixed to the annular base of the head 1, leaving the annular passage 9 free, the fixing to the head 1 can be achieved by any appropriate means such as screws 12.
  • the ring 11 has a projecting inner collar 13 coaxial to the post 3, adapted to be introduced into the annular passage 9 and more precisely arranged to fit into an annular housing 9a formed on the inner periphery of the base of the head 1 (FIG. 2).
  • the flange 13 is provided with two diametrically opposite notches 14, extending over the entire height of said flange, as well as two notches 15 also diametrically opposed, angularly spaced each 45 ° from the contiguous notch 14, and extending over only part of the height of the collar 13.
  • the notches 15 are separated from the notches 14 by two protruding steps or projections 16.
  • the turnstile also comprises a ring 17 having an internal diameter substantially equal to that of the post 3 so that it can be fitted thereon.
  • the ring 17 has a protruding inner collar 18, coaxial with the post 3, and whose diameter is substantially less than that of the collar 13 so as to be able to be introduced into the annular space 9 reserved between the collar 13 and the top of the post 3.
  • the collar 18 is provided with two diametrically opposed nipples 19 which extend radially outwards and are adapted to be able to engage in the two corresponding notches 14 when the collar 18 is slid in the ring 11 , the pins 19 being placed in correspondence with the notches 14. In this relative position of the ring 17 and the crown 11, these two parts are not secured together, and therefore the head 1 can be removed without obstacle from the top of the post 3.
  • the ring 17 is rotated so that the pins 19 slide on the notches 16, the pins 19 come to be embedded in the notches 15 after a rotation of 45 degrees relative to the crown 1 Because the notches 15 only extend over part of the height of the crown 11, the latter is secured in this position of the studs 19 with the ring 17, which consequently fixes the head 1 on the post 3 .
  • the invention also provides elastic latching means for locking the ring 17 on the crown 11 when the pins 19 are embedded in the notches 15.
  • these means consist of two elastic members 21 formed of two diametrically opposite tongues on the body 17a of the ring 17, and more precisely in the annular region 17b surrounding the collar 18 ( Figures 3 and 6).
  • These tongues 21 can be made in one piece with the rest of the ring 17 at the time of molding thereof, for example in a suitable plastic, and they normally project slightly from the surface of the annular area 17b, while being able to be lowered by introducing into corresponding housings 22 when they are subjected to a downward thrust.
  • the ring 17 is engaged on the post 3, then the central pivot 5 is fixed thereon by means of the screws 6.
  • the rotary head 1, fitted with the crown 11, is then placed on the central pivot 5. engages the pins 19 of the ring 17 in the notches 14.
  • the ring 17 is pivoted so as to slide the pins 19 on the steps 16, and to come the embed in notches 15, after rotation of 45 degrees.
  • the engagement of the pins 19 in the notches 14 is illustrated in FIG. 4, while their engagement in the notches 15 is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the head 1 can be very easily and quickly separated from the post 3 by a simple vertical push followed by a rotation of 45 degrees, which constitutes an appreciable advantage in the event of panic in the store or the building whose entry is controlled by the turnstile according to the invention, in order to facilitate exit.
