Filed:
May 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/838651
Inventors:
Robert M. Rogers - New York NY, US
Alissa Bucher - New York NY, US
Graeme Waitzkin - New York NY, US
Jonathan J. Marvel - New York NY, US

US Classification:
404 6, 404 9, 104 35, 104 44
Abstract:
A barrier system for use with a trafficable surface that penetrates a boundary to control access by vehicles and to permit uncontrolled access by pedestrians. The system includes a turntable providing a surface that is rotatable generally in the plane of the trafficable surface. Impact elements are arranged along the surface in a pattern having a spacing configured to permit passage by pedestrians and to prevent passage of vehicles when the turntable is in a first position and to permit passage of vehicles when the turntable is rotated to a second position. The system controls vehicle traffic across the boundary by moving the turntable between the first position and the second position.

Appl. No.:
11/368558
Inventors:
Robert M. Rogers - New York NY, US

International Classification:
E01F 13/00, W01F 15/00
US Classification:
404 6, 404 9, 104 35
Abstract:
An operable barrier system for vehicles includes a turntable for use with a trafficable surface and at least one impact element disposed on the turntable. A drive system is provided to rotate the turntable along the trafficable surface between a first position to prevent passage by vehicles and a second position, approximately 90 degrees from the first position, to permit passage by vehicles. A method of providing an operable vehicle barrier for use with a roadway includes providing a turntable device having a top surface, mounting at least one impact element on the top surface, and providing a drive system capable of rotating the turntable device in a plane that can be driven across by vehicles from the roadway.
