Description

UNITED STATES To all lwhom 'it may concern:
Beit known that I, JOHN A. KNEPIEE, of Delta, Fulton county, Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Grate, of which the following is a specification:
Figure l represents a vertical transverse section of my improved gate. (Shown in closed position.) Fig. 2 is a front vieu'1 ofthe same; and Fig. 3 is also a vertical transverse section, showing the gate in open position. y
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.V
My invention relates to an improved gate for farm and other purposes, which may be readily opened and closed and adjusted to any suitable height without taking up space in opening and closing the same.
The invention consists ot' a gate composed i of sliding link-connected rails or sections that are raised by acord and pulley in grooved post-'s or standards, and folded into a base-box set into the ground to be covered by the top piece or plank ot' the gate.
ln the drawing, A represents the side posts or standards of my improved gate, which are connected by a stiffening-piece at the top, and a base-box, B, set in the ground. The posts A are"grooved or provided with guide-strips for the slidingrails U of the gate, as many' grooves being provided as there are cross-rails or sections in the gate. The gate is made ot' a suitable number of rails, G, which slide u p to suitable height in the posts, one rail being connected to the other by links D, which slide in staples a. of the lower rail, and are firmly applied to the next adjoining rail. The Lippermost rail C is attached to the top piece C', which is ofthe same width as the posts and base-box, so thatit lits closely and forms the cover of the latter, When the gate is locked PATENT OFFICE.
IMPRovEMENT iN GATES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 169,449, dated November 2, 1875; application filed v August 14, 1875.
and folded up Within the box. The top piece C is attached by staples b to cords cl that pass over top pulleys d'vto the outside of one post, where they-.may be provided with balanceweights, so that the gate may be opened and closed like a sash. The cords may also be applied without weights to a hook near the bottom ofthe post, according as the gate is desired to be set atdifferentheights. As the rails slide each in its groove the gate opens and closes readily, the rails resting when the gate is open on the bottom ot' the base-box, with the links projecting downward, while the top piece closes the box and protects the rails stored away within the same. piece is level, or nearly so, with the ground, so that vehicles may readily pass over the same. The gate takes up no space for swinging open, 85o., and is easily and conveniently operated in a neat and compact manner.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by 'Letters Patenti 1. A gate constructed of rails or sections, connected by links sliding in staples of one rail, and being attached to the next rail, so that the rails may be folded sidewise of each other to the height of one rail, substantially as specified.
2. A gate, made of separately-sliding and link-connected rails, and of a horizontal top piece, in combination with the basebox set into the ground for storing the folded gate', and inclosing the same securely for the passage of vehicles, Snc., substantially as specified.
