Metal detector for detecting metal objects
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A metal detector for detecting metal objects which may be used as part of a door frame through which people pass, said detector comprising:
- a first field coil and two receiving coils positioned on a first side of a zone to be monitored;
a second field coil and two additional receiving coils positioned on a second side of said zone opposed to said first side;
each said field coil being activated by a means for exciting short pulses; and
evaluation means connected to said receiving coils for indicating the presence of a metal object within said zone being monitored,wherein said first field coil radiates a first magnetic field to be received by said additional receiving coils on said second side and said second field coil radiates a second magnetic field to be received by said receiving coils on said first side and wherein said field coils are activated in at least one manner selected from the group of simultaneous activation of said field coils and successive activation of said field coils in short intervals.

Abstract
A metal detector is proposed, in which field coils and receiving coils are arranged on either side of a zone to be monitored. In order to bring about a more uniform sensitivity distribution within the zone to be monitored, alternately the field coil on one side and the field coil on the other side is excited for radiating a magnetic field.
