Abstract
A barrier and system for the protection of a crowd from terrorists, by evaluating each individual for any concealed prohibited items. Each individual is exposed to one or more screening mechanisms, controlled by a monitoring unit, while passing in an organized fashion through an enclosed walkway containing the screening mechanism, and exiting on the other side. When a prohibited object is detected, response is provided and the smart door device is locked to detain and isolate the suspected individual in the device structure's interior. The structure of the invention is also configured to deflect the blast created by a potential explosion and prevent harm to other individuals and structures nearby.
Claims20
A security barrier for screening of individuals, comprising:
- at least two stationary cylinders,
- a revolving mechanism situated within each stationary cylinder comprising at least one blade comprised of blast-resistant material forming a revolving door,
- and an isolated area comprising at least two walls, located between said at least two stationary cylinders,
- wherein a means for detection is employed within the isolated area as an individual travels through one of the stationary cylinders as an entrance cylinder, then through the isolated area, and finally through one of the stationary cylinders as an exit cylinder, as the revolving doors spin continuously around an axis in their respective stationary cylinders, creating a flow for continuous screening of moving individuals.
A system for detection of illegal articles worn or carried by individuals, comprising:
- a first means of detection employed in a first stationary cylinder, comprising at least one blade comprised of blast-resistant material forming a revolving mechanism within said stationary cylinder, a second means of detection employed in a second stationary cylinder, comprising at least one blade comprised of blast-resistant material forming a second revolving mechanism within said second stationary cylinder, and a third means of detection employed in an isolated area located between said first and second stationary cylinders, wherein said revolving mechanisms stop to seal the isolated area upon a threshold-exceeding signal received from said means of detection.
A security barrier for screening of individuals, comprising:
- at least two automatic doors,
- and an isolated area comprising at least two walls, located between said at least two automatic doors,
- wherein a means for detection is employed within the isolated area as an individual travels through one automatic door as an entrance door, then through the isolated area, and finally through one automatic door as an exit door, as the automatic doors continuously open and close,
- thus setting a pace for continuous screening of moving individuals.
