Abstract

Apparatus for controlled raising and lowering of a barrier about a pivot point in which optimum control forces are applied to the barrier throughout its range of operation, and in which sensors are provided to prevent movement of the barrier against a resistive force to thereby prevent damage to the barrier, its operative mechanism, or an external object in its path.
