Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 4, 19 18.
Application filed November 5, 1915. Serial No. 59,865.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR E. BLUNT, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVendell, in the county of Gooding and State of Idaho, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gates; and I do hereby declare the following tobe 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 gates, and mechanism for operating the same, and the principal object of the invention is to provide reliable and efficient means for unlatching a gate and for swinging it open or closed by means of a cord depending from a post within reach of a driver in a vehicle.
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the gate may be quickly adjusted to hang properly so that the free end of the gate will not rub against the ground and be raised a sufficient distance to clear obstacles in swinging the gate.
The foregoing and other ob ects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a gate made in accordance with this invention,
Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional plan view of the same showing the gate closed,
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the gate open,
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the elbow lever for operating the latch of the gate,
Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view and elevation of the lower hinge of the gate, and
Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a portion of the gate and gate post showing the connection of the bell cranks 19 thereto.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates as an entirety, a gate, provided with diagonal braces 2 and 3. The top and bottom rails of the gate are separated by means of a central upright 1, and at the center of the gate and extending above the same is an upright5. A bar or cable 6 is connected at its opposite ends to the top bar of the gate, and extends through the upright 5. The top rail or bar 7 of the gate extends beyond the gate as indicated at 8. A post 9 is provided with an aperture in the upper end thereof and the rail 7 is provided with a metal yoke 10 having a pin projecting from the lower side of the same into said aperture to form a pivot for the upper end of the gate. At the lower side the gate is provided with a T-bolt 11 mounted in a bearing or support 12 connected to the post 9. The bearing 12 is slotted to permit the bolt 11 to move throughout a half circle.
For adjusting the gate vertically at its free end, a turn buckle 13 is connected to sections 14 and 15 of rods, the section 14 being connected to the curved rod or cable 6, and the section 15 being connected at 16 to a yoke or plate 17 connected to the end 8 of the extension of the upper bar 7 of the gate. Pivoted in the yoke 17 as at 8 are the bell crank levers 19, as clearly shown in the drawings. It will thus be seen that the free end of the gate will be braced in such a manner that the same will clear the roadway and should the gate tend to sag it will be understood that such may be taken up by operating the turn buckle 13.
Connected to the oppositely disposed ends of the levers 19 are operating cords or wires 20, said cords or wires extending across the top of the gate to an arm 21 supported upon a stop post 22. The cord or wire 20 passes around a pulley 23 on the arm 21. Connected to the parallel arms of the levers 19 are cords or wires 23 which are passed through an eye 24 and extended along the top bar 7 of the gate. The cord or wire 23 is connected to the eye24 and to an elbow lever provided at one end with a yoke 26 pivoted at 27 to the upright 5. The other end of the lever 25 is connected to the wire 23*, and a continuation of the wire 23 leads to a spring latch 28 connected to the free end of the gate. A keeper 29 for the spring latch 28 is secured to the gate post 30.
The fence post 31 is provided with a diagonal brace 32 and the fence wire 33 extends from the post to said brace.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that by turning the turn buckles 13, the gate may be adjusted vertically at its free end to compensate for the weight on the gate at this end. By pulling upon either of the cords or wires 20, the spring latch 28 is first released from the keeper 29, and the gate is swung to one side or the other, and the elbow lever or latch 25 engages a hook 34 on one of the posts 32 and holds the gate open. When the other cord 20 is pulled, the latch 25 is released from the hook 34 and the gate is swung closed, the spring 28 riding over the per .29 u t l it i engaged th rew -F1*om the foregoing it will be obvious that a gate made in accordance Withthis invention is extremely simple in construction, is
reliable and eflicient in' operation, and cannot readily get out of order, While simple means are provided for adjusting the gate as required.
