The invention relates to an apparatus for a checkpoint, comprising a controlled access passage, the exit of which is closed by an exit door (gate). Said exit door () opens in response to a signal of a least one biometric unit () which is arranged in the controlled access space () and by which the biometric features of a person desiring passage can be detected, and said biometric unit () is arranged frontally opposite of the entrance to the controlled access space () and preferably integrated in the exit door () of the controlled access space (). A person entering the controlled access space () is therefore immediately located quasi automatically in the correct position for detection by the biometric unit (), which is to say, frontally opposite of the biometric unit.

Apparatus for a checkpoint

A drive mechanism for a barrier or a stop or gate device includes a drive unit having a drive motor (,) to which at least one single-stage step-down gear, worm gear and/or spur gear with an articulation to a pivoting crank (,) is connected, with the crank being mounted on a primary shaft (,) pivoting preferably around a horizontal axis at bearing points on both sides. The shaft is provided with a fixing device (,) for the barrier beam (,) or gate element which can generally pivot at an angle of approximately 90&deg; in addition to abutments for the compensation springs (,) which act upon their spring crank. The drive mechanism further includes a single-part, single-piece drive casing (G) with open, flat securing flange strips (,) on all sides and a receiving flange (,) to secure the drive motor (,) which can be dismantled and removed. The motor shaft (,) of the drive motor is introduced into a gear case (,) which can be closed by a cover (,) and which contains a set-down gear. An output crank (,) is fastened to the gear output shaft (,) and hingedly connected to the pivoting crank (,) of the drive shaft (,) by means of a swivelling arm (,). The pivoting crank (,) is mounted on both sides on bearing blocks (,) which are formed on the single-piece drive casing (G) and protrudes on one side at least in the area of the bearing point in addition to being provided with a fastening device (,) for the stop or gate member or barrier beam (,).
