ABSTRACT:
A gate for a checkout lane is controlled by the cash register lock key. A cashier may insert the key to obtain access to the cash register and when the cash register is unlocked, the gate will automatically open allowing customers free egress from a checkout lane. When the cashier locks the cash register the gate automatically closes to block the checkout lane associated with that cash register. The gate is slidably mounted within a housing which also encloses a motor used to slide the gate back and forth. A pulley and cable arrangement are used to move the gate. Limit switches are included to cut off power to the gate at the limits of its travel.
