FARM GATE Filed Jan. 25, 1928- gwumtoz Patented Sept. 1, 1931 lJNITED STATES JAMES E. VAN DEVENTER, or ANDERSON, INniANa ssIe oR, B Y MEsNE assreN- v MENTS, T MID-STATES STEEL & WIRE COMP Y, or GRAWFORDSVILLE', INDIANA,
A CORPORATION OF INDIANA FARM can;
Application filed January 23, was. I seriarno. 248,601.
At the present time the iron gate which appears to be most acceptable to farm users is one composed of connected piping. In such a gate it has not been found to be commercially practicable to thoroughly protect the same from deterioration by rust, owing to the fact that it is not possible, within the commercial limits of cost production to adequately protect the interior of the pipe from the weather.
The object of my present invention is to produce an iron farm gate of comparatively light standard structural angle irons in such manner that a Very rigid construction may 1 be produced, the parts of which are readily accessible for occasional painting. The construction is also such that, when desired, a
wire fabric may be readily associated with the structure soas to make the gate a satisfactory closure against small stock. A
further object of the invention is to provide hinge elements which may be readily associated with the gate at any desired points in the height thereof and such that the gate structure may be readily adjusted vertically, relative to the supporting post, so that the gate may be made to swing close to the ground or may be raised to avoid accumulations of snow, etc.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2 a plan; Fig. 3 an end elevation; Fig. 4: a vertical section on line 4-4: of Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, a perspective of one of the hinge eyes and adjacent portions of the hinge end of the gate.
The gate is composed of two light frame structures each of which comprises two vertical angle members 10, 10, two horizontal angle members 11, 11, an intermediate vertical brace 12 and two diagonal braces 13, 13 which are secured at meeting points by any suitable means, as by welding, riveting or bolting. The several frame elements are perforated at desired points 14 for the reception of clamping bolts 15. The clamplng bolts 15 which connect intermediate portions of the frame elements 11, 12 and 13 pass through spreader tubes 16 which are inter- 50 posed between the mating elements 11, 11, 12,
12 and 13, 13 so that said elements are bowed or spread apart, as indicated in the. drawings, thereby stiffening the structure against horizontal stresses. The wire fabric 17 is laid upon the inner face ofone of the frame structures and clamped firmly at its ends be tween the vertical frame members 10, 10. At intermediate points this fabric is secured to the horizontal elements 11, 11 by wiring or by projecting portions of the fabric through suitably formed perforations in said elements.
The hinge members are formed of two similar castings or forgings each comprising a half eye 20, a shoulder portion 21 adapted to lie against that arm of a Vertical member 10 which lies at right angles to the plane of the gate, and an inturned finger 22 inclined inwardly to bridge the angle of the element 10, each of said fingers 22 having half of its width extended and turned further inwardly, as indicated at 23 so as to lap over both inner edges'of the angle irons 10 and the shoulder 24 of the mating finger 22. The two parts of the hinge element are firmly clamped in place by a clamping bolt 25 and nut 26. By loosening the nut, the hinge element may be readily shifted vertically on the pair of angle irons 10 and clamped at any desired position vertically thereof so that two such hinge elements may be readily positioned to fit supporting pins, of usual character carried by the supporting post and so that the gate structure as a whole may be readily adjusted vertically relatively to the post.
I claim as my invention:
A gate comprising two similar frames, each comprising two end vertical angle irons eachhaving one arm projecting toward an arm of the other in a common plane therewith, means securing said arms of the vertical angle irons of one frame to the corresponding arms of corresponding vertical angle irons of the other frame in parallel relation, top and bottom horizontal angle irons each having an arm projecting toward an arm of the other and lying in a substantially common planetherewith and secured to the facing arms of the end angle irons,
whereby the opposite arms of the angles of the frame form an angular extending peripheral flange, a vertical angle iron brace placed intermediate of the end irons, extend- 5 ing between the top and bottom angles and secured thereto within the flange, one arm of said brace being parallel with the flange forming arms of said end angle irons, diagonal angle iron braces extending from the top of the vertical brace to each lower corner of the frame and secured within the flange, said diagonal braces abutting against said vertical brace arm at their one end and against said flange at their other ends, and
spreader elements arranged at intermediate points between said frames so as to bow the same medially relative to each other.
In witness whereof, I have hereuntoset my hand at Anderson, Indiana, this 7th day of January, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight.
JAMES E. VAN DEVENTER.
