To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, @HARLEY S. SAVAGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Burlield, in theL county ofllVayne and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Gates, of which the following isa specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention vrelates to new and useful improvements' in gates and more particularly to manually operated vertically swingn ing or tilting gates.

The object of the invention is the provision of a gate of the above character which is particularly adapted for use upon country roads where the same crosses dividing fence lines and also along railroads where the public highway crosses the railroad.

Another object of the invention'is the provision of a swinging gate which is provided withsuitable operating mechanism whereby the' gate may be opened and closed from a distance, thus persons nearing the gate in a vehicle may readily open the same, drive through and then close the same from the opposite side without having to get out of the vehicle at all.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a gate of the above character which will possess advantages in points of efliciency and durability, is inexpensive of manufacture and at the same time is simple in construction and operation.

lith the above and other objects in view this invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, pointed outV inv the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a gate, parts being broken away and inV sect-ion; Fig. 2 is a side elevationgFig. 3 is aside elevation illustrating the gate in its open position; Fig. 4 is atop plan view of the pivotal connecting member; Fig. 5 is an endv elevation of one of the supporting posts at each side of the gate; Fig. 6 is a front elevation, of the gate member; and Fig.y7 is a detail side elevation'illustrating the manthe gate in a of my improved gate which is supported at' eachend thereof bymeans of the transverse beams 2. `Mountedupon the forward end of the base l is a block 3 which is provided with the inner recess l and arranged within said recess at y'the ends thereof are the upright posts 5y which are arranged in spaced relation and connected `at their upper ends by means of a transverse piece 6. The posts 5 are arrangedin spaced relation so as to receive J(he outer end of the swinging gate 7.

`A reciprocating latchbar 8 is carried by the gate andnormally held in its closed position by means of a coil spring 9, one end of which is connected to the latch bar and the 'other end connected to the upright end post 10 of the gate. rlhe outer end of the latch bar 8 is normally disposed beneath the transverse piece 6 so as to prevent any up# ward movement of the gate until the latch bar has been released. A second transverse piece 11 is providedhaving a central' recess 12 adapted to normally receive `the outer end of the latch bar to prevent any lateral movement thereof.

Mounted upon the rear of the base 1 are the two upright supporting posts 13 which are provided at their upper ends with the tapering offsets 14 forming suitable shoulders 15 upon which are adapted to rest the lower -tapering ends of the diverging arms 16. The upper ends of the arms 16 are bifurcated to form the two spaced arms 17 between which are pivotally mounted by boltsQ() the operating levers 18. The upper ends of the arms 16 are suitably connected by means of al transversebar 19, the ends of which are mounted upon the pivot bolts 20. The rear end of the gate 7 is pivotally mounted at its lower end upon the pivot bolt 21 so that the entire upper portion of the gate will be free to swing rearwardly between the twov upright posts 13.

Mountedin the brace bars 22 of the gate is a *transverse bolt 23 upon the yends of which are 4mounted the lower ends of the spaced arms 24, the lower ends of said arms being enlarged, as shown at 25, and provided withthe elongated slots 26 in which the ends of the bolt 23 are adapted to work. The enlargedv portions 25 of the ,arms 24 are provided with beveled `faces 27 which are adapted to work against the rollers 28 mounted upon the transverse bolt 29 which extends `through the latch bar -8 adjacent the rear endthereof. From this it wllbe second transverse longitudinal bar secured to the opposite end of the first bar, spaced arms having their upper ends pivotally connected to the ends oi the second transverse bar and having slots formed in their lower ends, beveled portions formed on said arms and adapted to engage said rollers, a transverse bolt carried by the gate and having its ends arranged in said slots, and means for raising and lowering the longitudinal bar for actuating said arms to release thevlatch bar and impart movement to the gate to swing the same between said posts.

4. A device of the class described including spaced upright posts, a gate having one end arranged between the post and pivotally mounted at its lower side` for swinging movement between the posts, a resiliently retained latch bar normally holding the gate in its locked position, a frame arranged between said posts and mounted at one end` `for pivotal movement, movable arms having by the latch bar and engaged' by said arms to release said latch bar.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aliX my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
