Description

This invention relates to installations for defense or protection, allowing the control of the entry or way out in the areas with risks, namely the industrial buildings or tertiary activities buildings.

More precisely it has as a subject matter, mobile buildings having an access air lock allowing the control by means of identification devices, of some people and allowing entry or way out for pedestrians within a closed area, such as an industrial building, a tertiary implantation or even factory with industrial risks of the SEVESO Risks type.

In its European patent application Ser. No. 07/01186, the applicant has already disclosed and claimed—a security device which allows the control of the entrance, and the way out, of mobile elements, namely pedestrians within the enterprise, the yard, the warehouse or storage site wherein it includes a flimsy building fitted with an access airlock, bound to a closing device on both sides of this building and showing adjacent to that, one or several rocking turnstile(s) insuring the control of ways, preferably from two to four tripods rocking turnstiles.

A supplemental characteristic resides in the fact that the turnstiles are equipped with a reading system of magnetic card at one end of the access and these ones cannot rock unless the reading of the magnetic card indicates that the bearer is allowed to penetrate in this closed area.

The protection device also includes, adjacently to the flimsy building, optionally mobile stopping devices, intended to insure the comings of employees or fully authorized visitors.

The device also includes an access slope located in front of the flimsy building, which screens the moving of people and provides a way of coming to the entry or the way out by means of an indicator of way of passage.

The said access slope may also include an amovible identification plate which constitutes a means for selecting the entries or a means for informing for the entrants or coming people the needs for the entry. This flimsy building will be of the barrack or bungalow type including a threshold for accessibility and showing from two to four access turnstiles placed out with an interval allowing the easy crossing of an individual.

The flimsy building is moreover constituted with a control room which allows the screening or the filming of the entrances and which guarantees the functioning of the access turnstiles.

The turnstiles may rotate in both ways, either to allow the entry or allow the way out. They are controlled by a device of verification of the type of magnetic card including a comparison between the identity and/or the essential features of identification or the data of timetable or localization of the bearer. If the data contained in the device for verification are not in accordance with the notices, the turnstiles will not be able to rock, and to let free the passage. Optionally it maybe equipped with an acoustic or luminous alarm device showing to the control employees a fortuitous or intended disturbance in the functioning of the turnstiles. The turnstiles are constructed in such a manner that only one person may cross it at the same time. They may by fitted with a device insuring the crossing to partially sighted people or disabled people.

This defense or protection setting up according to the invention finds a specific utility to insure the screening and the sorting in the entries and in the comings out of the workforce or the visitors, in a company to avoid that outsiders to the staff or still even unauthorized people may cross in the building and may be in a position to provoke deteriorations or to size information on the nature, the functioning or the use of the equipment, the means of production or the storage present in this company or still even on the nature of significance of production means in a certain workshop.
