Abstract

The invention relates to a revolving door, comprising a stationery cylinder accommodated in a wall and a rotatable partition dividing the cylinder substantially into two sections, comprising a wall element centrally positioned in the cylinder. The revolving door is embodied such that in, at or on the partition one or more means for the detection of inadmissible goods are provided.

Claims

1. A revolving door comprising a stationary cylinder accommodated in a wall and a rotatable partition dividing the cylinder substantially into two sections comprising a wall element centrally positioned in the cylinder, wherein the same is embodied such that in, at or on the partition one or more means for the detection of inadmissable goods are provided.

2. A revolving door according to claim 1, wherein the detection means comprises a sensor.

3. A revolving door according to claim 2, wherein the sensor is an infrared sensor mounted near the periphery of the partition.

4. A revolving door according to claim 2, in which the partition has a ceiling that is fixed in relation to, and revolves together with, said wall element, wherein one or more downward directed sensors are mounted in a ceiling near the wall element.

5. A revolving door according to claim 2, wherein a passive infrared sensor for detection of a temperature change per unit of time is mounted in a ceiling at a predetermined distance from the wall element.

6. A revolving door according to claim 2, wherein one or more sensors are mounted in a ceiling.

7. A revolving door according to claim 6, wherein the one or more sensors mounted in a ceiling comprise one or more sensors from the group consisting of ultrasonic and radar sensors.

8. A revolving door according to claim 1, wherein near a floor the partition is provided with one or more infrared sender/receiver combinations.

9. A revolving door according to claim 8, wherein each sender/receiver combination is embodied with one sender and at least three receivers.

10. A revolving door according to claim 9, wherein each sender/receiver combination emits a detection signal only when the receivers are activated simultaneously or sequentially.

11. A revolving door according to claim 2, wherein sensors are mounted in a floor to detect a presence.

12. A revolving door according to claim 11, wherein the sensors of a presence are separately activated, substantially abutting pressure pads.

13. A revolving door according to claim 1, wherein a control unit is provided to which the detection means are connected and which, subject to said detection means and current position of the revolving door, determines further movement of the revolving door.
