Turnstiles With Coin Operated Machines

Turns tiles gates with barriers are used to manage access into restricted passageways. Anyone wishing to enter must deposit a coin before unlocking and turning open the barrier allowing him or her to gain entry.

An aim of the invention is to develop a mechanism actuated by horizontal coin slide movement to unlock its barrier and enable another intermittent rotary movement.

Easy to install

Turns tiles security gates are easily installed into customer service environments where full height turnstiles aren’t needed, such as hospitals, airports, stations, subway stations, factories, stadiums, parks, customs, supermarkets hotels office buildings communities schools and leisure clubs. Relay input integration makes integration even simpler while Macrosafe’s unique triple anti-pinch technology (mechanical + infrared + current detection) ensures superior safety compared to full height turnstiles while remaining more aesthetically pleasing than them.

Turns tiles Is Simple to operate

Coin operated turnstiles are mechanical devices which only permit passage after payment is made; when activated by inserting coins of appropriate denomination, these turnstiles allow passage. Furthermore, their security mechanism prevents unauthorised entry. They can be found everywhere from subway stations and airports to museums, stadiums and public toilets.

To achieve these objectives, the coin controlled barrier turnstile employs a novel cam mechanism consisting of a forked lever 14 with one end connected pivotally to a plunger operating within a fluid check cylinder on frame 1. At its other end lies two divergent arms 14 which form a cam surface 17 with which rollers 7 of the barrier interact.

An act of depositing coins causes the coin slide to move horizontally and, through lever arm 53, advance pawl cam 24 in such a manner that disengages pawl from shoulder 19 at end of rabbet 18 where it had previously engaged, and frees it to disengage from reverse lock to enable rotation of barrier for admission through controlled passageway.
