Abstract

A gate includes a gate leaf which is movable between a closed and an open position, and a plurality of gate leaf elements, which are tiltable. The gate leaf includes a door leaf which is swingable around a pivot axis extending perpendicular to the tilt axes. When closed, the door leaf is mounted in an opening in the gate leaf and the door leaf extends essentially parallel to the plane of the gate leaf. A stabilizing arrangement opposes the deformation of the gate leaf and a threshold element which rests on the floor of the opening when the gate leaf is in the closed position. The height of the threshold element is essentially less than 20 mm, preferably less than 10 mm.
