Authentication gate

An authentication gate, comprising:

• a top surface extending in a longitudinal direction of a gate body;
• a first side surface provided perpendicular to the top surface, the first side surface extending in the longitudinal direction and connected to the top surface along the longitudinal direction;
• a second side surface provided perpendicular to the top surface, the second side surface extending in a vertical direction of the gate body and connected to the first side surface at an end portion in the longitudinal direction;
• and
• an inclined surface provided at an end portion in the longitudinal direction and connected to the top surface, the first side surface, and the second side surface, respectively, wherein:
• the inclined surface includes a support region supporting an outer circumference of a reading section of authentication data;
• the first side surface includes:
• a central region adjacent to the top surface, and
• a reading section side region adjacent to the second side surface and the inclined surface;
• and
• the support region and the reading section side region are formed of a single member made of metal,
• the authentication gate further comprising:
• a transparent flapper provided in the central region;
• a support member rotatably supporting the transparent flapper;
• and
• a first LED illumination provided in the support member and configured to illuminate a surface of the transparent flapper according to a state of an authentication process based on the authentication data, wherein
• a color of light emitted from the first LED illumination is controlled according to the state of the authentication process, and
• the state of the authentication process includes at least one of a standby state, a passage permit state or a passage non-permit state.
