Description
iuited $513125 @aient @ptite GEORGE A. SLATER, O FQBENTGN HARlSQR, MICHIGAN.
Letters Patent No. 110,687, (lated January 3, 1871; antedateri December 30, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN GATES.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making parl: o the same.
'Be it known that I, GEORGE A. SLA'rn'n, of Benton Harbor, in' the county of Berrien and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gates, of which 'the following is a specin'cation.
Nature (md Objects of ihc-Incention.
My invention relates to au improvement in selfclosing gates, and consists in constructing and hauging a gate to open and close by vibration in a 'verticall plane, a perpendicular post on one or both sides sustaining it laterally and furnishing support for the pinion 011 which it swings, so that its own gravity keeps the gate closed when not purposely held open.
Description of theDrawings. Figure l is a perspective view of the invention, showing the gate closed.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the invention, the gate being open. l Figure 3 is a transverse section of the invention.
General Description..
A is the gate, constructed, as indicated in the diagram, of light pickets of Wood, fastened at equal distances to the upper and lower parallel arms ot' the gate. v v
The gate may also be madeby using a sufticient number ot'v radius'es of a proper length, supported at their ends by a light frame-work of Wood, givng'to it any proper shape, and intersectingfthese radiuses with galvanized-ironwire at equal distances from the center outward.
B is the pinion of iron oristel, supported by posts.
O G, on which the gate is hung and vibrates.
D D are posts' oneither side of the gateway, Aforming part of the fence.
When the gate is closed, as in`ig. 1, a`slight down- Ward pressure on eitherarm of the gate wlll cause it to swing on its axis B, and to assume the position .seen in iig. 2, leaving an open passage-way between the posts C and D.
Onthe restraint being removed the gate immediately returns to its former position, shown in g. 1,
