Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schranke mit einer Schrankensäule und einem Antrieb zum Verschwenken des Schrankenbaumes um eine waagerechte Achse zwischen der Sperr- und der Offenposition und einem Schwenkgelenk mit einer senkrechten Achse, um das der Schrankenbaum bei gewaltsamem Öffnen verschwenkbar ist, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a barrier with a Cabinet column and a drive for pivoting the barrier boom about a horizontal axis between the lock and the open position and a pivot joint with a vertical Axis around which the barrier boom when violently opened is pivotable, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Schranken werden vor allem als Fahrzeugschranken, insbesondere als Parkschranken zur Kontrolle der Zu- und Ausfahrt von Parkflächen eingesetzt.Such barriers are mainly used as vehicle barriers, especially as parking barriers to control the supply and Exit used by parking areas.

Um ein Fahrzeug, das gegen den Schrankenbaum in der Sperr-position fährt, nicht, jedenfalls nicht zu stark zu beschädigen, weisen Parkschranken im Schrankenbaum eine Sollbruchstelle auf.To get a vehicle that is against the barrier boom in the locked position does not drive, at least not to damage too much, at least Park barriers in the barrier tree a breaking point on.

Bis der abgebrochene Schrankenbaum repariert ist, vergehen jedoch oft Stunden und Tage, zumal bei unbemannten Parkeinrichtungen, wo der Bruch des Schrankenbaumes häufig erst spät bemerkt wird.Until the broken boom is repaired, pass but often hours and days, especially with unmanned parking facilities, where the break of the barrier tree is often late is noticed.

Da die nachkommenden Fahrzeuge eine abgebrochene Parkschranke ohne Bezahlung passieren können, entstehen dem Betreiber erhebliche Verluste. Bei Parkhäusern, bei denen Datenträger zur Schrankenbetätigung verwendet werden, entstehen durch den Verlust der Datenträger weitere Kosten, insbesondere bei kostspieligen Datenträgern, wie Karten oder Münzen, die mit Chips, Transpondern und dergleichen elektronischen Einrichtungen versehen sind.As the coming vehicles a broken parking barrier can happen without payment, arise the operator significant losses. In car parks, where disk used for barrier operation, caused by the Loss of the disk further costs, especially at expensive data carriers, such as cards or coins, with Chips, transponders and the like electronic devices are provided.

Auch geht bei einem abgebrochenen Schrankenbaum die Kontrolle über die Belegung der Parkeinrichtung verloren. Darüber hinaus kann dann in die falsche Richtung gefahren werden, so dass beispielsweise bei einem Schrankenbruch an der Ausfahrt die Ausfahrt auch als Einfahrt benutzt werden kann. Wenn die Einfahrtschranke gebrochen ist, kann es zudem zu Betrugsversuchen des Personals kommen, wenn es die ausfahrenden Fahrzeuge an der Ausfahrtschranke abkassiert. Abgesehen davon, ist, wenn der Schrankenbaum einer Parkschranke gebrochen ist, ein oft stundenlanger Betreuungsaufwand erforderlich, bis alle Fahrzeuge, die ohne Parkberechtigung über die Ausfahrt oder Einfahrt eingefahren sind, die Parkeinrichtung wieder verlassen haben.Also goes with a broken barrier tree the control lost on the occupancy of the parking facility. Furthermore can then be driven in the wrong direction, so that, for example, at a barrier break at the exit the exit can also be used as a driveway. If the Entrance barrier is broken, it can also lead to fraud attempts of the staff come when there are the outgoing vehicles cashed at the exit gate. Apart from this, is when the barrier boom of a parking barrier is broken, An often hours-long care effort required until all vehicles without parking authorization via the exit or entrance are retracted, the parking facility again have left.

Aus US 6,470,626 ist bereits eine Schranke der eingangs genannten Art bekannt. Dabei ist auf beiden Seiten des Schrankebaumes jeweils ein Arm um die waagerechte Achse verschwenkbar angelenkt, um die Halterung für den bei gewaltsamem Öffnen um eine senkrechte Achse verschwenkbaren Schrankenbaum zu bilden. Die bekannte Schranke weist einen komplizierten Aufbau auf.From US 6,470,626 is already a barrier of the aforementioned Kind known. It is on both sides of the barrier tree one arm each pivotable about the horizontal axis hinged to the bracket for violent opening about a vertical axis pivotable barrier boom form. The known barrier has a complicated structure on.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine herkömmliche Schranke mit möglichst geringen Änderungen so auszubilden, dass ihre Funktion nicht beeinträchtigt wird, wenn sie durch ein Fahrzeug oder in anderer Weise gewaltsam geöffnet wird.The object of the invention is to provide a conventional barrier as small as possible changes so that their function not affected when passing through a vehicle or otherwise violently opened.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß mit der im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Schranke erreicht. This is inventively marked with the in claim 1 Barrier reached.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Schranke so ausgebildet, dass sich der Schrankenbaum, wenn er sich in der Sperrposition befindet und durch ein Fahrzeug oder in anderer Weise z.B. durch eine Person gewaltsam geöffnet wird, selbsttätig, beispielsweise durch einen entsprechenden Antrieb wieder in seine Sperrposition zurückbewegt.According to the invention, the barrier is designed so that the barrier boom when it is in the locked position and by a vehicle or otherwise, e.g. by a Person is forcibly opened, automatically, for example by a corresponding drive back to its locked position moved back.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schranke wird also der Schrankenbaum beim gewaltsamen Öffnen nicht zerstört. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass nach einem gewaltsamen Öffnen der Schranke die nachkommenden Fahrzeuge die Schranke auch ohne Berechtigung passieren können. Zudem kann die erfindungsgemäße Schranke auch dann geöffnet werden, wenn beispielsweise der Antrieb zum Öffnen der Schranke nicht betätigbar ist. Unter Sperrposition ist dabei nicht nur die Position zu verstehen, in der der Schrankenbaum vollständig geschlossen ist, sondern jede Position, in der die Durchfahrt eines Fahrzeuges verhindert ist.In the barrier according to the invention thus the barrier boom not destroyed during violent opening. This will prevents after a violent opening of the barrier the coming vehicles the barrier also without authorization can happen. In addition, the inventive Barrier can be opened even if, for example, the Drive for opening the barrier is not actuated. Under Lock position is not just the position to understand in which the barrier boom is completely closed, but any position in which the passage of a vehicle prevents is.

Um den Schrankenbaum in die Sperrposition ohne Zerstörung gewaltsam öffnen zu können und nach dem gewaltsamen Öffnen wieder in die Sperrposition selbsttätig zurückzubewegen, ist ein Schwenkgelenk vorgesehen, um das der Schrankenbaum beim gewaltsamen Öffnen und beim Zurückbewegen in die Sperrposition verschwenkt wird.To the barrier boom in the locked position without destruction to open violently and after violent opening is to move back automatically into the locked position, is a swivel joint provided by the barrier boom at forcibly opening and when moving back to the locked position is pivoted.

Das Schwenkgelenk kann an dem Schrankenbaum vorgesehen sein, vorzugsweise benachbart der Schwenkachse des Schrankenbaumes, um die er an der Schrankensäule zum Öffnen und Schließen der Schranke verschwenkbar ist. Das Schwenkgelenk kann sich jedoch auch an der Schrankensäule befinden.The pivot joint may be provided on the barrier boom, preferably adjacent to the pivot axis of the barrier boom, around which he is at the barrier pillar to open and close the Barrier is pivotable. The swivel joint can, however also located at the barrier pillar.

Das Schwenkgelenk weist normalerweise eine senkrechte Schwenkachse auf, so dass, wenn ein Fahrzeug gegen den Schrankenbaum fährt, er zur Seite ausweichen kann. Das Schwenkgelenk ist dabei vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass der Schrankenbaum sowohl in Fahrtrichtung wie in Gegenfahrtrichtung seitlich ausweichen kann. Damit wird z.B. verhindert, dass ein Fahrzeug, das die Ausfahrtschranke ordnungsgemäß passiert hat, beim Zurückfahren, beispielsweise Zurückrollen von einer Ausfahrtrampe nach der Ausfahrtschranke, also in Gegenfahrtrichtung, den geschlossenen Schrankenbaum zerstört.The pivot usually has a vertical Swivel axis on, so that when a vehicle is against the Barrier moves, he can dodge to the side. The Swivel joint is preferably designed so that the Barrier boom both in the direction of travel and in the opposite direction can escape laterally. This is e.g. prevented that a vehicle that drives the exit barrier properly happened when going back, for example, rolling back from an exit ramp to the exit gate, ie in Counter direction, the closed barrier tree destroyed.

Außerdem kann ein weiteres Schwenkgelenk vorgesehen sein, das eine waagerechte Schwenkachse aufweist, so dass der Schrankenbaum auch nach oben und/oder unten ausweichen kann. Damit kann verhindert werden, dass eine Person den Schrankenbaum durch gewaltsames Nach-Oben- und/oder -Unten-Drücken zu zerstören versucht, damit er nicht in die Sperrposition zurückkehren kann. D.h., die erfindungsgemäße Schranke ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass der Schrankenbaum zum Schutz gegen gewaltsames Öffnen zur Seite und nach oben ausweichbar ausgebildet ist.In addition, a further pivot joint may be provided, the has a horizontal pivot axis, so that the barrier boom can also move up and / or down. In order to can prevent a person the barrier boom by violently pushing up and / or downwards tries not to return to the locked position can. That is, the barrier of the invention is preferred designed so that the barrier boom for protection against violent opening to the side and formed evasive upwards is.

Um die erfindungsgemäße Schranke mit dem Schrankenbaum in Sperrposition gewaltsam zu öffnen, muss eine vorgegebene Kraft überwunden werden. Diese Kraft kann durch entsprechende Vorschriften vorgegeben sein. So soll ein herkömmlicher Schrankenbaum mit Sollbruchstellen nach einschlägigen Normen beispielsweise brechen, wenn auf ihn eine Kraft von 20 kg einwirkt. Demgemäss wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schranke der Schrankenbaum aus seiner Sperrposition erst herausbewegt, wenn auf ihn beim gewaltsamen Öffnen eine Kraft von z.B. 10 bis 50 kg einwirkt.To the barrier according to the invention with the barrier boom in Forcibly to open the blocking position must have a predetermined Force to be overcome. This power can be through appropriate Be prescribed rules. So should a conventional Barrier with predetermined breaking points according to relevant standards for example, break when subjected to a force of 20 kg acts. Accordingly, in the barrier according to the invention the barrier boom first moved out of its locked position, when a force of e.g. 10 to 50 kg acts.

Das Schwenkgelenk zum gewaltsamen Öffnen des Schrankenbaumes und zum Zurückbewegen in die Sperrposition kann beispielsweise dadurch gebildet werden, dass die Schrankensäule, an der der Schrankenbaum zum Öffnen und Schließen verschwenkbar befestigt ist, aus zwei gegenüber einander drehbaren Teilen besteht, wobei der Schrankenbaum zum Öffnen und Schließen der Schranke an dem einen Teil verschwenkbar angelenkt ist, während das andere Teil den Fuß bildet, mit dem sich die Schrankensäule am Boden abstützt und am Boden befestigt wird.The swivel joint for forcibly opening the barrier boom and to move back to the locked position may, for example be formed by the fact that the cabinet column, at the the barrier boom for opening and closing pivoting is attached, from two opposite each other rotatable parts exists, with the barrier boom to open and close the Barrier on which one part is pivotally hinged while the other part forms the foot, with which the rack column supported on the ground and fixed to the ground.

Das Teil, an dem der Schrankenbaum zum Öffnen und Schließen der Schranke angelenkt ist, kann dabei durch die Schrankensäule einer herkömmlichen, im Handel erhältlichen Schranke gebildet sein. Die Schrankensäule der herkömmlichen Schranke braucht dazu lediglich gegenüber dem anderen Teil, das den Fuß der erfindungsgemäßen Schranke bildet, um eine sich in Schrankensäulenlängsrichtung erstreckende, also senkrechte Achse drehbar gelagert zu sein. Auf diese Weise kann eine herkömmliche Schranke mit Motor und Getriebe in der Schrankensäule praktisch ohne jede Veränderung zum Bau der erfindungsgemäßen Schranke verwendet werden.The part where the barrier boom for opening and closing the barrier is hinged, can thereby through the cabinet column a conventional, commercially available barrier be formed. The barrier column of the conventional barrier All you need is the other part, which is the Foot of the barrier according to the invention forms to a in Barrier column longitudinal direction extending, so vertical To be rotatably mounted axis. This way a can conventional barrier with motor and gearbox in the rack column virtually without any change to the construction of the invention Barrier can be used.

Wenn eine herkömmliche, im Handel erhältliche Schranke eine Schrankensäule aufweist, deren Gehäuse zumindest im unteren Bereich rohrförmig oder zylindrisch ausgebildet ist, kann die Schrankensäule der herkömmlichen Schranke als Innenteil in einem Außenteil mit einer entsprechenden Innenausnehmung, beispielsweise einem Rohr, angeordnet und z.B. mit einem Wälzkörperlager gegenüber dem Außenteil drehbar gelagert werden.If a conventional, commercially available barrier is one Barrier column whose housing at least in the lower Region is tubular or cylindrical, the Barrier column of the conventional barrier as inner part in an outer part with a corresponding inner recess, for example, a tube, arranged and e.g. with a Rolling element bearing mounted rotatably relative to the outer part become.

Um die Kraft zu erzeugen, die überwunden werden muss, um den Schrankenbaum gewaltsam zu öffnen, kann eine Feder vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise im Innenteil, also der Schrankensäule der herkömmlichen Schranke angeordnet ist, und nach außen gegen ein z.B. durch eine Kugel, Rolle oder dergleichen Wälzkörper gebildetes Sperrglied drückt, das in eine Aufnahme in dem den Fuß bildenden Außenteil einrastet. Die zu überwindende Kraft beim gewaltsamen Öffnen des Schrankenbaumes wird dann durch die Kraft gebildet, die notwendig ist, damit das federbelastete Sperrglied ausrastet, also aus der Aufnahme heraus bewegt wird.To create the force that needs to be overcome in order to achieve the Forcibly opening the barrier boom, a spring can be provided be, for example, in the inner part, so the cabinet column the conventional barrier is located, and to the outside against a e.g. by a ball, roller or the like rolling elements formed locking member presses, which in a receptacle in engages the outer part forming the foot. The to be overcome Force in the violent opening of the barrier boom is then formed by the force necessary for that to happen spring-loaded locking member disengages, so from the recording is moved out.

Zwar kann die erfindungsgemäße Schranke missbraucht werden, wenn beispielsweise eine Person den Schrankenbaum absichtlich mit Gewalt, also unter Überwindung der besagten vorgegebenen Kraft öffnet. Die Möglichkeit zum Missbrauch ist aber auch nicht größer als bei der bekannten Schranke mit Sollbruchstelle, freilich ohne dass die erfindungsgemäße Schranke im Missbrauchsfall nicht die eingangs geschilderten Nachteile der bekannten Schranke besitzt.Although the barrier according to the invention can be abused, For example, if a person intentionally sets the barrier tree by force, so overcoming the said predetermined Power opens. The possibility of abuse is also not larger than in the known barrier with predetermined breaking point, admittedly without the barrier according to the invention in the Abuse case not the disadvantages described above the known barrier possesses.

Zudem kann dem Missbrauch bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schranke in gleicher Weise entgegengewirkt werden wie bei der herkömmlichen Schranke, z.B. durch eine Videoüberwachung oder dergleichen.In addition, the abuse in the barrier according to the invention be counteracted in the same way as in the conventional Barrier, e.g. through a video surveillance or the like.

Um zu verhindern, dass sich der Schrankenbaum nach dem gewaltsamen Öffnen durch ein Fahrzeug zurückbewegt, wenn sich das Fahrzeug noch im Schwenkbereich des Schrankenbaumes befindet, ist vorzugsweise eine Einrichtung zur Detektion eines Fahrzeugs im Bewegungsbereich des Schrankenbaumes vorgesehen, mit der gegebenenfalls auch eine Person erfasst werden kann. Diese Einrichtung kann eine Videobildverarbeitung aufweisen oder eine Lichtschranke, einen Ultraschallsensor, eine Induktionsschleife oder dergleichen. Auch kann eine Zeitmesseinrichtung vorgesehen sein, um den Schrankenbaum erst nach einer vorgegebenen Zeitspanne nach dem gewaltsamen Öffnen zurückzubewegen. Diese Zeitspanne kann einstellbar sein. Die Zeitmesseinrichtung kann beispielsweise durch eine Kontrollund Sicherheitseinrichtung, z.B. eine bildverarbeitende Einrichtung ausgelöst werden.To prevent the barrier boom after the violent Open by a vehicle moved back when the vehicle is still in the swivel range of the barrier boom, is preferably a device for detecting a Vehicle provided in the range of motion of the barrier boom, with which, if necessary, a person can be recorded. This device may have video image processing or a photocell, an ultrasonic sensor, an induction loop or similar. Also, a time measuring device be provided to the barrier boom only after a predetermined period of time after the violent opening move back. This period of time can be adjustable. The Time measuring device can, for example, by a Kontrollund Safety device, e.g. an image processing facility to be triggered.

Der Schrankenbaum der erfindungsgemäßen Schranke kann als starres Rohr ausgebildet sein. Ebenso kann die erfindungsgemäße Schranke eine Knickschranke sein, also einen Schrankenbaum mit wenigstens einem um eine waagerechte Achse verschwenkbaren Gelenk aufweisen, wie sie beispielsweise in Parkräumen geringer Höhe eingesetzt werden. Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, den Schrankenbaum beleuchtbar auszubilden.The barrier boom of the barrier according to the invention can as be formed rigid tube. Likewise, the inventive Barrier be a kink barrier, so a barrier tree with at least one about a horizontal axis have pivotable joint, such as in Parking spaces of low height are used. It is further advantageous to form the barrier tree illuminated.

Zum selbsttätigen Zurückbewegen des Schrankenbaumes in die Sperrposition nach dem gewaltsamen Öffnen kann ein Antrieb vorgesehen sein. So kann beispielsweise eine Feder, ein Motor, ein pneumatischer oder hydraulischer Antrieb zum selbsttätigen Zurückbewegen des Schrankenbaumes nach dem gewaltsamen Öffnen vorgesehen sein.For automatic movement back of the barrier boom in the Locking position after the violent opening can be a drive be provided. For example, a spring, an engine, a pneumatic or hydraulic drive for automatic Moving back the barrier boom after the violent Be provided opening.

Es sind zahlreiche andere Ausführungsformen denkbar, um den Schrankenbaum ohne Zerstörung gewaltsam öffnen zu können und selbsttätig in seine Sperrposition zurückzubewegen. So kann der Antrieb zum Zurückbewegen des Schrankenbaumes in die Sperrposition nach gewaltsamen Öffnen der Schranke durch einen Werkstoff mit Memory-Effekt gebildet sein, welcher nach einer Verformung seine ursprüngliche Form wieder einnimmt.There are numerous other embodiments conceivable to the To be able to forcibly open the barrier tree without destruction and to automatically move back to its locked position. So can the drive to move back the barrier boom in the Locking position after violent opening of the barrier by a material with memory effect to be formed, which after a deformation resumes its original shape.

Nachstehend ist eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung beispielhaft näher beschrieben, deren einzige Figur eine Schranke mit längsgeschnittener Schrankensäule und teilweise dargestelltem Schrankenbaum zeigt.Below is an embodiment of the invention with reference to Drawing described in more detail by way of example, the only figure a barrier with longitudinally cut cabinet pillar and partly illustrated barrier tree shows.

Die Schranke weist eine Schrankensäule 1 auf, die aus zwei Teilen besteht, nämlich einem Innenteil 2 und einem ein Außenrohr bildendes Außenteil 3, die gegenüber einander um eine senkrechte Achse S drehbar gelagert sind, die zugleich die Längsachse der Schrankensäule 1 bildet. Das Innenteil 2 weist als Gehäuse ein Innenrohr 4 auf. Zur Lagerung des Innenrohrs 4 ist ein Radiallager mit Wälzkörpern 5 vorgesehen, die sich an einem Laufring 6 an der Innenwand des Außenrohres 3 abwälzen.The barrier has a cabinet column 1, which consists of two Parts consists, namely an inner part 2 and an outer tube forming outer part 3, which face each other around a vertical axis S are rotatably mounted, which at the same time Longitudinal axis of the barrier pillar 1 forms. The inner part 2 has as housing an inner tube 4. For storage of the inner tube 4, a radial bearing is provided with rolling elements 5, which roll on a race 6 on the inner wall of the outer tube 3.

Das Außenrohr 3 bildet den Fuß, mit dem sich die Schrankensäule 1 auf dem Boden abstützt und am Boden befestigt ist. Das Innenteil 2 wird durch die Schrankensäule einer herkömmlichen Schranke gebildet. D.h., das Innenrohr 4 stellt das Gehäuse der Schrankensäule der herkömmlichen Schranke dar, wobei in dem Innenrohr 4 bzw. Gehäuse der Motor 7 und das Getriebe 8 zum Anrieb des Schrankenbaumes 9 angeordnet sind, um ihn um eine waagerechte Achse zwischen der dargestellten Position, in der der Schrankenbaum 9 nach unten geschwenkt ist, und der Offenposition, in der der Schrankenbaum 9 nach oben geschwenkt ist, zu verschwenken. Der Schrankenbaum 9 ist dazu an einer am Kopf 12 des Innenteils 2 angeordneten Welle 11 befestigt, welche von dem Motor 7 über das Getriebe 8 angetrieben wird, um den Schrankenbaum 9 um die horizontale Achse H zu verschwenken.The outer tube 3 forms the foot with which the cabinet column 1 supported on the ground and fixed to the ground. The inner part 2 is through the rack column of a conventional Barrier formed. That is, the inner tube 4 provides the Housing of the barrier pillar of the conventional barrier, wherein in the inner tube 4 or housing of the motor 7 and the Gear 8 are arranged for driving the barrier boom 9, around him about a horizontal axis between the shown Position in which the barrier boom 9 is pivoted downwards is, and the open position, in which the barrier boom 9 after pivoted above, to pivot. The barrier boom 9 is to a arranged on the head 12 of the inner part 2 shaft 11 fixed, which of the engine 7 via the transmission. 8 is driven to the barrier boom 9 to the horizontal To pivot axis H.

Durch die drehbare Lagerung des Innenrohres 4 in dem Außenrohr 3 um die senkrechte Achse S wird der Schrankenbaum 9 aus der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Sperrposition zur Seite, d.h. in Fahrtrichtung aus der Fahrbahn verschwenkt, wenn auf ihn ein Fahrzeug auffährt. Damit der Schrankenbaum 9 in der Sperr-position nur beim Auffahren eines Fahrzeuges oder bei einer anderen Gewalteinwirkung zur Seite verschwenkt wird, ist eine Einrichtung zur Erzeugung einer vorgegebenen Kraft vorgesehen, die beim gewaltsamen Öffnen des geschlossenen Schrankenbaumes 9 überwunden werden muss. By the rotatable mounting of the inner tube 4 in the outer tube 3 around the vertical axis S of the barrier boom 9 is made the blocking position shown in the drawing to the side, i.e. pivoted in the direction of travel from the roadway when on he drives up a vehicle. So that the barrier boom 9 in the Lock position only when driving on a vehicle or at is pivoted aside from another act of violence, is a device for generating a given force provided during violent opening of the closed Barrier tree 9 must be overcome.

Dazu ist in dem Innenrohr 4 ein radial verschiebbares, mit einer Feder 13 nach außen belastetes, z.B. als Wälzkörper ausgebildetes Glied 14 vorgesehen, das in eine (nicht dargestellte) Ausnehmung in dem Laufring 6 an dem Außenrohr 3 eingreift. Wenn auf den Schrankenbaum 9 eine vorgegebene Kraft in Fahrtrichtung durch ein Fahrzeug einwirkt, rastet das Sperrglied 14 entgegen der Kraft der Feder 13 aus der Ausnehmung aus, wodurch das Innenrohr 4 gegenüber dem Außenrohr 3 gedreht und damit der Schrankenbaum 9 zur Seite verschwenkt werden kann.For this purpose, in the inner tube 4, a radially displaceable, with a spring 13 loaded externally, e.g. as a rolling element formed member 14 which in a (not shown) Recess in the race 6 on the outer tube. 3 intervenes. If on the barrier boom 9 a predetermined Force acts in the direction of travel through a vehicle, locks the locking member 14 against the force of the spring 13 from the Recess, whereby the inner tube 4 relative to the outer tube 3 rotated and thus the barrier boom 9 pivoted to the side can be.

Um den Schrankenbaum 9 nach dem Verschwenken zur Seite durch gewaltsames Öffnen in seine in der Zeichnung dargestellte Sperrposition zurückzuverschwenken, ist in dem Innenrohr 4 ein Motor 15 vorgesehen, auf dessen Motorwelle 16 ein Zahnrad 17 sitzt, das mit einem Zahnkranz 18 kämmt, der an der Innenseite des Außenrohres 3 befestigt ist.To the barrier boom 9 after pivoting to the side through Forcible opening into his shown in the drawing Zurückverschwenken locking position is in the inner tube. 4 a motor 15 is provided on the motor shaft 16, a gear 17, which meshes with a sprocket 18, on the inside of the outer tube 3 is fixed.
