Benefits of technology

The invention provides an active deterrent system with a rotating apparatus that has spikes or blades that can be activated by sensors or manually with a switch. This system is better than existing systems because it is harder to compromise and can provide more visual and auditory deterrence. It also allows for a reduction in the number of guards needed to secure a facility.

Problems solved by technology

There are also several prior art systems that have rotating structures with spikes or blades used as a deterrent; however these structures are not active in that a person causes the rotation when attempting to scale the structure.

Embodiment Construction

Best Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017]The presently claimed invention is a system and method to control access or egress to security areas, such as operating areas for correctional facilities, department of defense facilities, or other private areas of high security. The composition of the claimed invention is a steel structure assembly consisting of support elements with a spoke hub assembly that will rotate on electrical control demand. FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the claimed invention. Rotary controlled spoke and hub mechanism 10 is preferably configured with razor wire 12 and / or barb wire attached to rotary spokes 14 which when electrically controlled by a motor 16 will rotate 18, as shown. Other types of spikes and types of security wire can be used individually or in combination. These include but are not limited to barbed wire, razor wire, protruding blades, spikes and concertina coils. In this embodiment, the rotary controlled spoke and hub mechanism 10 is mounte...

Abstract

An active security system with a rotating spoke and hub apparatus with razor wire, barbed wire or other types of sharp objects affixed to the spokes that is free standing or on top of an existing fence or wall and mounted to stationary columns. A motor and linkage provide for the active rotation of the rotating spoke and hub structure. The motor is activated by sensors that detect a presence of an intruder.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention (Technical Field)[0002]The presently claimed invention relates to security systems and more particularly to a rotating structure affixed to a top of a stationary structure that is actively rotated on demand.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]Presently there are several types of passive security devices for impeding intruders from entering or exiting a secure area. These include walls, fences, and other types of barriers. To enhance these types of designs, additional deterrence devices have been added, such as broken glass, razor wire or projections from the top of the wall or fence. However, these are also passive devices that can easily be overcome by a determined intruder. This type of device is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,602,764. There are also several prior art systems that have rotating structures with spikes or blades used as a deterrent; however these structures are not active in that a person causes the rotation when attempt...
