ABSTRACT:
A safety system for detecting an obstruction approaching closing doors includes a transmitter stack and a detector stack. Each transmitter stack includes a plurality of transmitter three-dimensional lenses. Each detector stack includes a plurality of detector three-dimensional lenses. The three-dimensional lenses are offset from the corresponding optical devices to angle an outgoing or incoming signal. The present invention results in more compact packaging for the safety system and in reduced cost of the assembly therefor.
