Abstract
An electrically operated closure system comprising: a pivotable gate; a mounting foot (30) comprising a first set of support members (52); a bearing frame (11) fixed to the mounting foot with the pivotable gate being hingedly connected to the bearing frame; and an actuator (4) partially positioned inside the mounting foot, the actuator comprising: an output member (20) onto which the pivotable gate is mounted; and a second set of support members (55) which corresponds to said first set of support members, wherein the actuator is supported inside the mounting foot by intercoupling of the first and second sets of support members. By virtue of the various fixation openings and support members, the gate post and actuator can be readily assembled without requiring complex operations by common fixation elements.
Claims16
A closure system (1, 1′) comprising:
- a pivotable gate (3);
- a mounting foot (30, 30′) extending in an upright direction (15) between a lower end (30a) and an upper end (30b), the mounting foot comprising:
- a first set of fixation openings (38);
- and
- a first set of support members (52) near its lower end and comprising at least two support members which are located on opposite sides of the mounting foot;
- a bearing frame (11, 11′) extending in the upright direction between a lower end and an upper end with the pivotable gate being hingedly connected to the bearing frame, the bearing frame comprising:
- a second set of fixation openings (28) which corresponds to said first set of fixation openings, wherein the lower end of the bearing frame is fixed to the mounting foot by a plurality of fixation elements (29) which each extend through a respective one of the first and second sets of fixation openings;
- an actuator (4) which is at least partially positioned inside the mounting foot, the actuator being mainly L-shaped with a first leg (4a) extending in the upright direction between a lower end and an upper end and a second leg (4b) extending from the lower end outwards in a transverse direction (16) which is perpendicular to the upright direction, the actuator comprising:
- an output member (20) provided in the second leg with the pivotable gate being mounted onto the output member;
- and
- a second set of support members (55) which corresponds to said first set of support members, wherein the actuator is supported inside the mounting foot by intercoupling of the first and second sets of support members.
