Abstract:
The present invention discloses a secondary barrier system with the same focus on public safety as well as the security of the secure area by providing both an extended secure area for the primary barrier, together with the functionality of an emergency exit, meaning it can be opened without much effort by the general non-skilled public in the event of emergency. The combination of secured barrier (to protect the primary barrier) and quick opening (in an event of emergency) of the present invention is accomplished by a special latch system. The special latch system in the present invention secondary barrier system is designed to require even the skilled intruder at least a few seconds to open, while allowing the non-skilled public only less than a minute. The less-than-a-minute opening time by the non-skilled public is acceptable for an emergency exit, while the more-than-a-few-second delay time is adequate for the close and securing of the primary barrier against an intruder breach. The present invention secondary barrier is well suitable for aircraft where public safety such as emergency exit is of comparable importance as security.
