GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,711, dated September 28, 1880.
Application filed May 15, 1880.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, R. E. HARBAUGH, of
Amity, De Kalb county, Missouri, and S. R.
same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a side view of our improved gate and hanger. Fig. 2 is a top View of the same. Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are details, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view.
This invention has relation to improvements in gates; and the nature of theinvention consists in certain novel means whereby the gate is swung between the gate-posts, and in certain other improvements, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the annexed drawings, the letter A designates the gate, usually constructed with longitudinal slats and cleats. Bis the latchpost, and N O the other posts, bounding the gap in the fence and arranged parallel to each other, but not in line, the interval between them being slightly greater than the thickness of the gate.
D indicates a vertically-vibrating latch pivoted to the gate at a, and engaging a catch, 6, on post B. This latch, when engaged with the catch, is vertical, and it extends up beyond the top of the gate a sufficient distance, and it is prevented from vibrating beyond the point necessary to engage the latch by a stop, 0, of any suitable description.
On one of the rails, 01, of the gate is placed a saddle, l,which is doubly branched, as shown at e, and is adjustable toward either end of the gate by means of notches c, in the upper edge of the rail 01, next below, and the bolt and nut 'i l and perforations t in rail d.
H indicates a wire, one end of which is attached to the top of the latch D, and is thence carried under one of the branches of the saddle I, thence to and around one of a series of pins, f, in aboard connecting the upper ends of the (No model.)
posts N O, thence back under the other branch of the saddle, thence to the latch D, when, bein g drawn taut, it is secured rigidly to the said latch. The wire H, together with a pin, g, ex-
tending through a slot, h, in the bottom rail,
d", of the gate, and through posts N 0, constitutes the hanger of the gate, the object of the pin 9 being to prevent the gate from sagging, as well as to support it at bottom andhold it against endwise motion between the posts N O. The pin g rests in auger-holes in the posts N O aforesaid.
F is a vertically-vibrating lever, pivoted at its lower end to the gate, extending through a guide thereon, and connected by a wire, 70,
to the latch D. By thrusting the power end of this lever away from the latch-post B the latch D is disengaged from the catch, and the gate, supported by the hanging device above set forth, may be swung back sufliciently to pass a foot-passenger, or wholly, to pass a vehicle, without sagging to any appreciable extent. The board K, bridging the tops of posts N O, is set with pins f, arranged in the arc of a circle, described with the saddle as a center. These pins support the loop end of the wire, and their object is to control the elevation of the latch end of the gate. For instance, if the gate is situated on a hill-side and opens to the right up hill, the looped end of the wire should be passed over that pin farthest from the center of the board K if the slope is the greatest for which the gate is adapted. If the slope be not so steep, one of the pins nearer the center of said board should be used. By this means the raising of the gate can be regulated to any incline, and it may be made to close automatically. By shifting the saddle I to the right or left the gate can always be prevented from sagging, as in effect the wire H is thereby shortened.
P is a horizontally-arranged double pulley working on a vertical post,'P, near the pivotal point of the gate, and R is a similar pulley, also rotating horizontally upon the end of a post, 0, at a short distance from the postN and in line with two posts, N, arranged one at each side of the gate, sufficiently far out to allow the gate to swing to the open position. The posts N are each provided with a vertically-arranged pulley, S. Posts N, O, and N are in a line at right angles to the gate when closed.
U indicates a cord or wire passing from the pulley S, at one side of the gate, around sheaves It and 1?, and secured to lever F and V is a similar cord or wire passing over the pulley S, on the other side of the gate, and also passing around the sheaves Rand Pand secured to said lever. By drawing forcibly upon either of these cords or wires the gate-latch will be disengaged from the catch and the gate be opened. Thus a horseman or coachman may operate the gate without dismountin g. After passing through the gap the gate may be closed by pulling on the other cord, and its weight being supported by the latch through the hangerwire H the said latch cannot fail to engage its catch.
What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a gate, the combination, with the posts N O and the latch-post B, having catch 1), of the bridge K, having the pins f, the gate A, ex-
tending between the posts N O, the verticallying through a slot, 8, of the gate, and connecting'posts O N, substantially as specified.
2. The combination, with the posts N O and latch-post B, of the gate A, supported by and rotating on pin g, connecting posts N O, and extending through a slot of the gate, the vertically-arranged and vibrating latch D, the saddle I, the bridge K, having the pinsf, and the hanger-wire H, secured to the latch, passing under the bridge, and looped to one of said pins, substantially as specified.
3. The combination, withahung gate, A, it latch D, and lever F, connected to said latch, of the post 1? on said gate, the horizontal double-grooved pulley P on said post, the post 0 at one side of the gate, and having doublegrooved pulley R, the posts N, having pulley S, arranged vertically, and the cords UV, passing around pulleys S, R, and P, and secured to the power end of said lever, substantially as specified.
I11 testimony that we claim the above we have hereunto subscribed our names in the presence of two witnesses.
