巻き込み防止　、巻き込み検知

English translation: Obstruction prevention and detection

13:47 Jul 4, 2004
Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Automatic Revolving Door
Japanese term or phrase: 巻き込み防止　、巻き込み検知
This is for an automatic revolving door safety precautions manual.
This is a pair of terms, 巻き込み防止　and 挟まれ防止 .

巻き込み refers to being 'attacked from behind' when the revolving door 'catches up' with a user and clips them on the heels, causing them to fall.
挟まれ　refers to fingers, toes or other body part getting caught in between the door wing and the door wall.

I am looking for the specific terms for this. All the articles and documents I can find on automatic revolving doors refer to both 挟まれる and 巻き込まれる as "get caught in a revolving door" or similar vagueness.

See http://www.translatejp.com/revdoor.jpg for an image that makes this more understandable.

Explanation:
I interpreted at a worker's comp case for a major elevator company somewhat recently, and recall that they liked using the word "obstruction." I would say go with these.

I have decided to go with 'obstruction' or 'collision' for both of these terms and differentiate by the physical location of the door (where did the obstruction or collision occur?). For this case, it would be collision with the door wing. for 挟まれ, it would be obstruction at the door's leading edge'. Thanks.

The type of accident specified in the article is not 巻き込み、 it is 挟まれ.


Thanks anyway for your suggestion.
