WALK-THROUGH SECURITY GATE, IN PARTICULAR FOR USE AT AIRPORTS

摘要

The invention relates to a walk-through security gate (1), in particular for the use at airports for demarcation between a secured zone and an unsecured zone, wherein the gate can be opened in accordance with the checking of access data such as a flight ticket and a blocking element (6) that blocks the gate is pivoted from a blocked position into a walk-through position in the context. Corresponding fully automatic solutions are part of the prior art in the context. For various reasons, however, there is a need for being able to also operate such “self-boarding gates” semi-automatically, i.e. in conjunction with support staff, wherein in the context the problem of the operating-personnel obstructing the gate delimited by guide elements (4) arises. According to the invention, the problems is solved in that a console (5) is associated with at least one of the guide elements (4) that delimit the gate, by means of which console (5) the access data can be automatically retrieved. At the same time, the console (5) is additionally provided with a manual scanner (8). When the manual scanner is put into operation, the scanner (7) of the console (5) used for the automatic checking is taken out of operation and thus the checking of the access data is possible in manual operation, and at least one blocking element (6) that blocks the gate is pivoted into a walk-through position only in accordance with the checking of the access data by means of a manual scanner (8).
