Abstract
A crossing gate mechanism includes a gate mechanism enclosure defining an interior space, external wires located substantially outside the gate mechanism enclosure, and a terminal board positioned within the interior space of the gate mechanism enclosure. The external wires are connected to the terminal board. The terminal board is coupled to and swingable relative to the gate mechanism enclosure.
Claims22
A crossing gate mechanism comprising:
- a gate mechanism enclosure defining an interior space;
- a terminal board mounted inside the interior space of the gate mechanism enclosure,
- said terminal board being swingable relative to the gate mechanism enclosure between an operative configuration, in which the terminal board overlies a portion of the interior space, and an access configuration, in which the terminal board is swung away from the operative configuration such that said portion of the interior space is accessible;
- and
- an electrical component located within said portion of the interior space, such that the electrical component is substantially inaccessible when the terminal board is in the operative configuration and accessible when the terminal board is in the access configuration,
- said terminal board being selectively secured in the operative configuration so as to restrict access to the electrical component.
