SWINGING AND SLIDING GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,596, dated January 24, 1882.
Application filed November 1, 1881,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MYRON F. GALTRIDER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Bryan,in the county of Williams and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Swinging and Sliding Gates; and I do hereby declare the following to be 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective of the gate closed, and Fig. 2 a perspective showing one section ofthe gate shoved back, with one end elevated.
My invention has reference to sliding and swinging gates, and has for its object the formation of a gate which can be either moved endwise or swung sidewise in opening and closing, and which may be also elevated or lowered to facilitate its opening and elosing, and to the accomplishment of these ends it consists inthe construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly described, and then sought to be specifically defined by the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, the letters A and B indicate the two end posts, the post B being pivoted at top and bottom to the post or frame 0, so as to be swung around on its pivots; but any other construction that will permit the same operation will answer.
The gate proper is composed of the two parts or sections, D and E, the section E bein gadapted to slide on the section D. Each section is provided with longitudinal end bars, F, between whichthe railsfit. Therailsforthe sectionsare formed by cutting a rail partially through from its under edge, near one end, and likewise cutting it from its top edge, near .the other end, and then dividing it longitudinally from one cut to the other, so that two parts are made from it, each part having a shoulder, against which the end of the other part willstrike when the two sections are slid one upon the other, and by means whereof the end play or movement of the sliding section may be limited. The end post, 13, is slotted longitudinally, so that the end of section D of the gate may be passed therethrough, the said section being pivoted therein at its lower rear end by means (Model.)
of a removable pin or bolt, G, passed transversely through post B and bottom rail of the section. The upper end of that section is thus left free and can be moved back and forth through the slot, whereby the forward end of the gate is permitted to be raised, so as to be lifted above snow or other obstructions that may be found beneath and about its lower rail, and which would interfere with swinging open the gate. The gate is prevented from sagging at its forward end, and is also held in its elevated position by means of a rod or bar. H, pivoted at its upper end to the post B, above the top rail of the gate, so as to be free to be swung up and down, the outer end of said bar being provided with a cross-pin, which is intended to engage with a ratchet-bar, I, formed on the side of the forward end of section D. The end of bar H passes through bar I, and the pin which passes through its end engages with teeth on both sides the bar, and the fastening is thus made very strong and secure. By raising the forward end of the gate the pin of bar H is caused to engage with the teeth low down on the ratchet-bar, and the gate is held in an elevated position.
When it is desired to lower the gate the end thereof has to be lifted just far enough to disengage the pin of the bar from the ratchetbar, and then, when the bar is held from contact with the teeth of the ratchet-bar, the gate may be lowered as far as desirable. Then the pin of the adjusting-and supporting bar is again brought into engagement with the ratchet-bar and the gate is supported at its adjusted position.
The forward end of the gate may be held to post A by a latch, or projecting pieces, which may be the ends of the rails constituting the fence, may enter the space between the upright bars F of section E, and thus form a tonguefastening for the gate.
The gate is made in sections, so that a passage-way may be formed by shoving the section back, which may be the preferable way when a person is riding horseback or walking, and yet it is adapted to be swung open so as to form a wide passage-way for a carriage or for other purposes. Sometimes one method is preferable and sometimes the other. Accord ing to my construction either method can he used.
It is obvious that for the ratchet-bar I there might be substituted a bar having a series of holes, through which the pin 0 (in that event removable) attheback of the hinged bar could be passed; but the method illustrated is the best, as the parts can be more readily adjusted, and none of them are so liable to get lost.
Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. The combination of the vertically-divided sections D and E and adjusting-arm H, hinged at one end to the post B and connected atthe other endto the forward part of section D, said section being hinged at its rear end, so as to swing, and section E being adapted to slide thereon, whereby the several parts will operate as set forth.
2. The within -desoribed swinging, sliding, and elevating gate, consisting of two sections, one section being adapted to slide on the other, the latter being pivoted at its rear lower end in a slotted support adapted to turnon its axis, and a hinged bar extending from said slotted support, and means for adjustably securing it to the gate, as set forth, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
