SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,227, dated June 6, 1882. Application lled May 13, 1881. (-No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN 0. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bringhurst, in the county of Carroll and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Farm-Gates, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in farm-gates; and it consists of the construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, of which there are two sheets, Figure 1, Sheet 1, represents a top view of the gate closed, showing the position of the side levers and rods for opening and closing the gate. Fig. 2 is an eleva-tion ot' the gate, partiallyin section, showing the upper and lower latches and their operating levers and rods. Fig. 3 represents a top view of the gate, same as in Fig. 1, but partially open and ready to be swung around to the side of the road. Fig. 4, Sheet 2, represents a top view ofthe gate open 5 and Fig. 5 represents a top view ofthe gate in the act of being closed.
Similar letters in the various views referto like parts.
A represents an ordinary farm-gate, hung to the gate-post I by ordinary hook-and-eye hinges, so that the gate can swing from the stop-post B to the stop-post B and back again.
The upper rail of the gate is notched out on the under side and provided with the sliding latch d. The front end of this latch passes through the front rail, A', of the gate far enough to latch into the post B.
Near the front end ot' the latch d is a clevis, t', in which the upper end of the spring m opcrates, the lower end of the spring being made fast to the rail A'. y
The upper end of the lever B is pivoted to the olevis fi and latch d. The middle of the lever It is pivoted. to the link n and the rail behind it, and the lower end of the lever R operates inthe shoe '8.
The upper end of the lower lever, lit/,also operates in the same shoe, s, and is pivoted to the rail ,A' by the link a. The lower end. of the lever R is pivoted to the lower sliding latch,d, said latch operating ina notchformed in the upper edge of bottom rail of the gate.
The frontend of said latch also projects through the rail A' far enough to latch in the box of the post B. Thus when the upper latch, d, is drawn back the levers 'E R' also draw back the lower latch, d', and' when the spring 'i moves the upper latch forward the levers It R' also move the lower latch, d', forward.
The rear end of the upper latch, d, has the rod G attached to one side and the rod D attached to the other side. These rods extend back and pass through holes formed in the ends of the bar F, and are provided with heads t c', which heads, when the gate is closed, as in Fig. 1, or wide open, as in Fig/L, are in close contact with the bar F.
The bar F is pivoted to the top of the hingerail of the gate by the pivot H, and said bar has the angular cross-bar G made fast to it by braces ff', or their equivalents. t
To one end ot' the bar G is pivoted the gateoperating rod M, said rod extending alongside ofthe road to the stock-guards L', where the rod is pivoted to the upper end of the lever P', near the handle K', the lower end of said lever P' being pivoted between the up` right guards L L2. K
The other gate-operating rod, J ,is connected with 4the lever G and the lever P in the same manner, the lever P being pivoted between the guards L L3 at the side of the rod beyond the stop-post B.
The stop-post B' has a hook-catch, b', while the post B has a beveled guide, b, and the latch shuts into a mortiseformed in the post. a is a stop for the gate. v The operation of my improved gate is as follows, to wit: When it is desired to open the gate frorneither side-sa for instance, at the lever P'-the handle K' is grasped by the operator and the lever P' and rod M moved in the direction of the arrow w. The rod M moves its end of the bar G toward the gate, causing the bar F to move without it, and the head u of the rod D draws the latch d back. At the same time the head vof the rod C projects through its end of the bar F, as shown in Fig. 3, and the levers B B' move back the lower latch, d'. The latches being drawn back and the rod M being still pushed in the direction of the arrow w, the bar F, operating against the head e of the rod D, causes the gate A to swing open and fasten itself open against the post B', as shown in Fig. 4. In order to close the gate, the lever P may be moved in the re verse direction. The same results are pro- 5 duced by operating the lever P and its rod J. What I claim as new, :und desire to secure by Letters Patent., isl. The gate A, having sliding latches (1 d', pivoted and connected levers R R', and spring on, in combination with the headed rods U D and operating-bar F, the latter being adapted to slide on said rods, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The pivoted bars F and G, having con- 15 nesting rods ff', in combination with the headed and sliding rods C D, sliding latch d, and hinged rnil E, substantially as shown and described.
3. The bnr F, with holes in each end, coinbined with the rods C D, having heads o v, and hinged rziil E, ns und for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribing` witnesses.
JOHN O. SMITH.
