GATE.
1,032,592. Specification of Application filed June 8, 1911.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FnANoIns E. En onnoen, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waverly, in the county of Bremer and State of Iowa, have invented certain new, and useful Improvements in Gates; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in gates.
One object of the invention is to improve the construction of the gate shown in United States Patent #883,182, granted to me March 31, 1908 whereby a lighter, simpler, stronger and more durable gate is provided.
With this and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings :-Figure 1 is a side view of one form of my improved gate; Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a top plan view; Fig. 4: is va horizontal-sectional view on the line 14: of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view through the front end of the gate showing a suitable latch for the gate.
My improved gate comprises a pair of L angle iron bars forming, when placed together with their flanges parallel and projecting in the general plane of the gate toward the opposite end thereof, a latch bar 1, and a similar pair of L angle irons oppositely located and similarly placed and secured, forming a hinge bar 2, said latch and hinge bars forming the end uprights of .the gate, and the separate L angle irons of each of said end uprights 1 and 2 are riveted or otherwise fastened together and thus clamped upon the wire or other form of filler forming the body of the gate. When a wire filler is employed while the ends of the intervening wires are clamped between the angle bars each alternate horizontal wire is twisted around the end bars as shown. The pairs of end bars 1 and 2 are connected together at their upper and lower ends by bars 3 are spaced apart intermediate their ends by spacing blocks 1 and have their ends brought together and riveted, bolted or otherwise secured to the upper and lower ends of the end bars 1 and 2. By thus constructing the upper and lower pairs of hori- .zontal bars 3 said bars form truss braces whereby the top and bottom of the gate are securely braced.
Arranged between the end bars and secured at their upper andlower ends to the upper and lower horizontal bars 3 are vertically disposed pairs of cross bars 5 said bars being preferably of channel iron construction. Secured at' their ends to the end cross bars 1 and 2 are pairs of diagonal brace bars 6 arranged to cross at the center of the gate and are connected near the upper and lower ends of the end bars as shown. The diagonal bars 6 are preferably formed of angle iron and are trussed in the same manner as the upper and lower horizontal bars 3. The bars 6 are also bolted to the cross bars 5 and are spaced apart by spacing blocks 7.
Secured to the hinge post '8 of the gate is a vertical gate supporting shaft or pintle 9 to which the gate is slidably and hingedly connected by hinge members in the form of bands or clips 10 which are secured to the hinge bars 2 and loosely engage the pintle 9. The gate is supported in hinged engagement with the pintle 9 by a supporting collar 11 which is adjustably secured to the pintle by a set screw 12 whereby the gate may be operatively supported in a raised or lowered position.
In order to automatically fasten the gate when swung to a closed position any suitable latch mechanism may be used and as an instance I provide a latch comprising a pair of clamp plates 13 having their inner edges bent outwardly at an angle and then inwardly to form hook shape clamping flanges 11 adapted to be clamped into adjustable engagement with the angle iron front bars 1 by a clamping bolt 15 thus permitting the latch plates to be adjusted to the proper position for engaging suitable pawls 16 which are pivotally connected near their upper ends to a supporting plate 17 secured to the latch post of the gate.
When the latch plates are engaged with the pawls they are prevented from being dispairs of top and bottom horizontal bars 3 also formed of angle iron. The pairs of engaged therefrom by the lifting of the gate or without again rocking the pawls, by a right angular stop flange 21 formed on the upper end of the pawl supporting plate 17 as shown.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation; in the form, proportion 1. A gate comprising a hinge bar composed of a pair of L angle irons arranged with one flange of each the other angle bars, forming in effect a T bar in two parts, a hinge bar-of a similar construction, end bars,
vertical secured to the tops of the hinge and latch bars, a bottom bar of similar construction connected to the bottoms of the hinge and latch bars, strut bars separating the irons bars and forming trusses thereof, and channel lrons in pairs of the top and bottom secured between the irons ofthe top and botdeparting from the parallel with one oi a wire filler connecting the two a top bar comprising a pair of L' angle irons arranged with a flange of each and the other flange of each pro-j jecting horizontally outward, the ends being" each side of the tom bars with their flanges outward further trussing the top and bottom bars.
2. A gate comprising a hinge bar composed of a pair of L angle irons arranged with one flange of each parallel with one of the other angle bars, forming in effect a T bar in two parts, a hinge bar of a similar construction, a wire filler connecting the'two end bars, a top bar comprising a pair of L angle irons arranged with a flange of each vertical and the other flange of each projecting horizontally outward, the ends being secured to the tops of the hinge and latch bars, a bottom bar of similar construction connected to the bottoms of the hinge and latch bars, strut bars separating the irons of the top and bottom bars and forming trusses thereof, channel irons in pairs secured between the irons of the top and bottom bars with their flangesoutward further trussing the top and bottom bars, a pair of diagonal angle iron crossed brace bars on gate connected to the hinge and latch bars, and a strutbar between the brace bars at their crossings.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
