Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0961005A2] The barrier is designed so that in a blocking position one arm (1,2) projects essentially horizontally from the rotary star (4) and blocks a passage. A setting of the arms is provided, which is controllable across the drive motor and in which the arm is located in a vertical plane, extending essentially parallel to the passage.
