GATE HANGER.

.WILLIAM G. ALEXANDER, 0F OSKALOOSA, IOWA.
GATE-HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 253,828, dated February 21, 1882.
Application led December 28. 1881.
To all whom it may concernl Be it known that I, WILLIAM GREEN AL- EXANDER, a citizen of the United States, residing. at Oskaloosa, in the county of Mahaska and State of Iowa,'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gate-Hangings 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact 'description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and igures of reference marked thereon.
Figurel of the drawings is a perspective view of a gate, showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the several parts of my improved gate-hanger disconnected from each other. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of `my invention, partly in section; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the rightangle plate and the pin for connecting the roller thereto. Y
The present invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in gate-hangers, and has for its object to provide astrong, durable, and practical hanger for suspending the gate, and admitting of its sliding and being swung 'around at right angles when required. These objects I attain by the construction substantially as shown in the drawings and hereinafter described.
In the accompanyingdrawings, A represents the gate, of the usual construction, and B the center post, to whichvis connected'a right-angled plate, C, by screws or other suitable means. The apex of the angle formed bythe two wings of the plate G comes on a line with the corner of the post, as shown in Fig. 3. The right-angled plate G is let into the sides of vthe post B so as to come flush therewith, and the corner of the post is cut away to admit of the sleeve or eye a, which is also liush with the corner. The sleeve or eye a is somewhat less in height than the width of the plate C, so that the head c of the pin will rest thereon and prevent the pin from being disconnected from the right-angled plate without first removing the plate from the post, the upper end of the sleeve or eye a forming a bearing for the head c to turn upon. The head o has a horizontal bolt which hasa lug, f, upon its under side, and a screw threaded end, g, the purpose of which will be hereinafter described.
(No model.)
A circular disk, D, formed with a central opening, h, is passed over the end of the bolt e until the lug fthereon engages with a slot, t', of the form to correspond with that of the lug. After the disk D has thus been placed in p0- sition on the bolt e a suitable roller, E, is next placedon the bolt, and after it a second disk, F, as shown in Fig. 3, and the whole secured on4 the bolt by a screw-nut, k, engaging with the screw-threaded end of the bolt e.
The disk D, upon its inner side, has bumperplates G, for the upright bars l of the gate to com e' against, thereby preventing injury to the hanger. The lugfon the bolt e, fitting in the slot i, prevents the disk D from turning, and the lugs m on the inner side of the disk F, coming upon the inner side of the bumperplates G, also prevent the disk F from turning, but allow the roller E to freely turn upon the pin between the circular disks and bumperplates.
lhe disks D F, as will be seen, are ot greater diameter than the roller E, thereby extending up above the periphery of the roller to form guides for the rails of the gate, and it should be further noticed that the face or periphery of the roller extends above the ends of the plates G, so that the plates will not come in contact with the under edge of the gate-rail while resting on the roller. A Y
As the pivotal bearing of the gate-hangeris directly on the corner of the post B the strain is always edgewise on the right-angled plate, thereby the danger of its fastenings becoming loosened by the constant swinging and sliding of the gate is greatly lessened.
On a line directly under the central opening, h, is a shoulder, d, which bears against the lower end of the sleeve or eye a to take the strain off of the bolt e.
The bumper-plates G serve tokeep the two plates or disks D F apart a sufficient distance to admit of thc easy andfree rotation of the roller E.
The gate A at one end may also be supported by the usual roller, n, connected to the outer post, p, and a keeper of the ordiuaryconstruction is secured to the post nearits upper end, as shown at r, to retain the gate in aclosed position, or in line with the fence.
Having now fully described my invention,
In testimony that I claim theebove I have what I claim as new, and desire to secure by hereunto subscribed my name in the presence xo Letters Patent, s-
In a gate-hanger, the anglep1ate C, havin g of two witnesses. pivoted thereto the bolt e, with lug f, in com- 5 bination with the disk D, formed with slot i and shoulder d, the roller E, and disk F, formed with lugs m, substantially as and for the pm'- pose set forth.
