AUTOMATIC GATE.

UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIGE.
PETER SAMES, OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN AUTOMATIC GATES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,225, dated J une 27, 1876; application filed September .7, 1875.
of the hangingpost and hanging-stile, cut at v the center of the lower hinge.
The gate is composed of rails a, gained into the latching-stile b and hanging-stile c, to which they are secured in any suitable manner, and is also provided witha bracing-rail,
d, placed diagonally across the rails to, be-
tween the stiles and c, and secured in place in any proper manner. The free end of the gate is provided with a lever latch-bar, h, of ordinary construction, fitted to engage the strike-catch 'i, secured to the latching-post B. A is a hanging-post, and B the latching-post, both of which may be secured in place in any suitable manner. The gate is hung to the post A, near its upper end, by a hook-and-eye hinge of the usual construction, and is also hung, near the lower end of the hanging-stile c, to the post A, by a hook'and-eye hinge of the peculiar construction shown in Fig. 2, in which 6 is the hook, of the usual form, and f .is the eye which receives the hook e, and is of oblong form, the transverse axis of which is oblique to its shank, and is placed in the hanging-stile horizontally, on an angle of about forty-five degrees with the rear face of the hanging-stile, in such a manner that the gate, when at rest or swinging, will be in a vertical position, with the end of the oblong eye j toward the gate, resting against the hook 0, and if, by any means, the lower end of the hanging-stile c is forced in the direction to cause the oblong eye f to slide on the hook 6 toward the outer end of the oblong eye, the free or latching endof the gate will be made to rise and disengage it from the strike-catch t.
G is an angle-lever, secured to the-hangingstile c, and extends below the gate, with the angle-arm 9 extending to the closing side at an angle of about forty-five degrees with the lengthwise line of the gate, and is provided with an upward-projecting stud, it, which receives the end of bars D, the other ends of which are connected to hand-levers E, placed one on each side of the gate at any suitable distance, and are held on fulcrum-supports on box F, which is designed as a protection to the parts inclosed in it; and the box may be placed under ground, if desired.
By this construction I am enabled to dispense with the high posts usually employed in the construction of automatic gates; and by means of the levers E and their connection with the gate I am enabled to operate the gate without dismounting or leaving the seat in the carriage, the action being as follows:
The movement of the levers E in the proper direction will cause the lower end of the hanging-stile c to move obliquely toward the opening side, and the oblique oblong eye f, sliding on the hook 0, will also cause the front end of the gate to rise and disengage it from the strike-catch i, and the continued movement of the lever will cause the gate to open, and the reverse movement of the levers will close the gate.
I claim as my invention- 1. The hand-levers E, conuectingrods 1), lever arm or crank G, in combination with the gate A, with its lower hinge formed by the hook e and eye f, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. In a self-closing gate, where the outer end has to rise to release the latch, or fall to engage the latch with the catch, the combination of the book 0, an oblong eye, f, that is oblique to its shank, with the swinging gate A, constructed and operating substantially as described.
