Railway Passenger Gate Assembly

摘要

A railway passenger gate assembly includes a platform having a well extending into a surface thereof. A housing is positioned within the well and has an open apex flush with the upper surface. A pair of vertically oriented cylinders is positioned within the housing. A conduit is in fluid communication with each of the cylinders. Each of the cylinders has one of a pair of pistons positioned therein. The pistons each have a bottom end and a top end. Each of the top ends has one of a pair of posts attached thereto. A railing is attached to and extends between the posts. The pistons are movable from a stored position with the railing being approximately flush with the upper surface or in a deployed position positioned above the upper surface. A pump in fluid communication with the cylinders forces fluid into the cylinders to urge the pistons upwardly.

主权项

1. A barrier system for a railway station platform, said system comprising:
a platform having an upper surface, a well extending downwardly into said platform, said well being positioned adjacent to an edge of said platform positioned nearest to a train track; a housing being positioned within said well and having an apex being open, said apex being approximately flush with said upper surface of said platform; a pair of cylinders being positioned within said housing, each of said cylinders being vertically oriented, a conduit being in fluid communication with each of said cylinders; a pair of pistons, each of said cylinders having one of said pistons positioned therein, each of said pistons having a bottom end and a top end; a pair of posts, each of said top ends having one of said posts attached thereto such that said posts extend upwardly from said pistons; a railing being attached to and extending between said posts, said railing being positioned on an upper end of said posts, said railing being horizontally oriented; said pistons being movable from a stored position with said railing being approximately flush with said upper surface or in a deployed position positioned greater than 30.0 inches above said upper surface; and a pump being in fluid communication with said cylinders to force fluid into said cylinders and urge said pistons upwardly into said deployed position.
