WW 3M United States Patent O 3,237,922 WIRE GATE CLOSING AND TIGHTENING MEANS Walter J. Koinzan, Elgin, Nebn, assignor of one-third each to Walter Lee Koinzan and Duane S. Koinzan, Elgin, Nebr.
Filed Feb. 27, 1964, Ser. No. 347,857 2 Claims. (Cl. 254162) The present invention relates to a device which is structurally designed and adapted to be mounted on the upper portion of a stationary fence post and which is provided with facilities which when properly connected with the adjacent upper end of a relatively movable gate post makes it possible for the user to pull or move the gate post toward the fence post and to thus stretch and tension the wires of the gate in a manner which results in effectively closing the gate.
Gates in the field of those herein under consideration are generally frameless in construction and are accordingly flexible and characterized by vertical gate posts having spaced parallel horizontal wires connecting the same and are commonly referred to in the art and else where as wire gates. It is common practice in this line of endeavor to provide an elongated loop-like link which has one end embracing the fixed fence post and stapled thereto and the other end which is capable of receiving and embracing the lower end of the gate post therein whereby to in this manner properly interconnect the lower end portions of the fence post and gate post respectively. Many prior patents show such adaptations and, if desired, reference can be made for background information to the Edwards Wire Gate Fastener, 919,705, and also to Bennetts Wire Gate Tightener, 598,494. In these patents and others in this category of inventions many and varied gate wire pulling and tensioning and gate post positioning and holding devices have been devised for gate closing and retaining results. It follows that it is an object of the present invention to structurally, functionally and in other ways improve upon structurally similar gate post embracing and gate wire tensioning devices.
To the ends desired the present invention has to do with a simple, practical and aptly constructed gate closing and tightening device which is suitably adapted to better serve the end results desired.
In carrying out a preferred embodiment of the invention a simple fence post bracket or fixture is provided. This fixture comprises a bracket portion which is channelshaped and adapted to be bolted to the fence post. The flanges of this channel-shaped bracket are provided with outstanding fixed axially aligned sleeves aligned with holes in said flanges and the bearings thus provided serving to accommodate a tubular shaft. The shaft is mounted for rotation in the bearings, is provided at opposite ends with handcranks one of which can be operated from the inside of the fenced enclosure and the other from the outside. The portion of the shaft which is cooperable with the channel is provided with cable means end portions of which are wound around the shaft and with the bight or loop portion embracing the gate post.
Novelty is predicated on the fixture in that it is such that it can be made and sold on an economical basis and can be readily mounted for use on the fence post with little or no difiiculty. Further novelty is predicated on the hollow or tubular member which constitutes the aforementioned shaft and wherein at least one bearing and one end portion of the shaft serves to accommodate an insertable and removable cotter key which serves as a locking member and consequently locks the shaft against rotation after the looped end of the cable around the gate post has been amply tightened.
3,237,922 Patented Mar. 1, 1966 These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a view in perspective showing a fragmentary portion of a fence post at the left and a wire gate post at the right and the device on ,the fence post which tightens the noose-like cable and tensions and retains the wire gate in its closed position;
FIGURE 2 is a View on a larger scale and wherein the parts appear in section and elevation and all essential parts are illustrated in cooperative relationship;
FIGURE 3 is a section taken on the vertical section line 3-3 of FIGURE 2; and
FIGURE 4 is a perspective View showing the lower end portion of the fixed fence post and the embracing end portion of the loop, that is the end of the loop which has the lower end portion of the gate post seated and removably held therein.
With reference now to FIG. 1 the gate post which we will assume is vertical is denoted by the numeral 6, the lower end portion (FIG. 4) being denoted at 8 and the upper end portion at 10. It is also to be assumed that this fence post is stationary. The gate to the right in FIG. 1 is denoted generally by the numeral 12 but is only fragmentarily shown. It is a wire fence structure and one of the strands of wire is denoted at 14 and is secured around the gate post 16 as denoted at 18. The means for pulling up, tensioning the gate wires and maintaining the gate post 16 in an erect closed position constitutes a post-embracing and pulling cable 20. It is the loop-like portion or noose 22 which embraces the gate post and the purpose of the means or device on the fence post is to support and shorten and tighten the cable.
The overall stationary part can be conveniently referred to as a fence post fixture and it comprises a channelshaped bracket 24. The bracket is channel-shaped and embodies a web portion 26 and a pair of spaced parallel flanges 28 and 30. The Web portion is secured against the surface of the post 10 by bolts or equivalent screwthreaded headed fasteners denoted at 32. The median portions of the flanges are provided with holes or notches with which inner end portions of two outstanding axially aligned sleeves or tubes 34 and 36 are registered and connected. The notches plus the sleeves provide satisfactory outstanding bearings for the horizontal elongated shaft 38.
The shaft is of a cross-section and outside diameter that it rotates freely in the bearings 34 and 36 in which it is mounted for rotation. It will be noted, too, that this shaft has its central portion bridging the channel, that is the portion between the two flanges 28 and 30. The shaft is also of a length that the end portions 40 extend beyond their respective bearings 34 and 36. One extended end portion is provided with a handcrank 42 which can be said to be operable from outside the fence and gate. The other end portion is also provided with a similar handcrank 44 which is operable from the inside of the fence and gate. Not only is each terminal end portion extended beyond the end of the coacting hearing, it is provided at one side with a hole through which the terminal end portion of the shank portion of the crank is extended. The end portion 42 at the left in FIG. 2 extends through the hole, abuts the end of the bearing 34 and bridges the bore of the tubular shaft and is welded or otherwise anchored in place. The construction is the same at the right as at 44 wherein it will also be noted that the welded terminal portion has an additional function which will be hereinafter referred to. The
loop or noose portion of the cable 20 embraces the gate post while the free ends are passed through a hole 46 provided therefor at the median portion of the tubular shaft and are then carried to the right as shown in FIG. 2 as at 48 and are provided with terminal retaining heads are collars 50 which are conveniently held in place in the manner illustrated. The intermediate portion of the cable is adapted to be wound around the median portion 51 of the shaft as denoted at 53. Thus by catching hold of either crank the shaft can be turned to either wind up or unwind the cable ends and thus tension or loosen the loop 22.
It will be noted in FIG. 2 that the bearing 34 is provided with a keeper hole 54 which is lined up with a similar keeper hole 56 in the bearing and these holes when in registry with each other serve to permit a locking pin to be inserted and removed. The locking pin is a simple cotter key 58 which is shown in locking position and which is attached to one end of a safety chain 60. The other end of the chain 62 is anchored on the web of the channel in any suitable manner so that the cotter key will not get lost.
In using the device the lower end portion of the gate post is positioned as illustrated in FIG. 4. With reference to this figure it will be seen that the keeper rod comprises an elongated link which is denoted at 66 and which has one end portion 68 embracing the bottom 8 of the fence post and secured by staples or the like 70. The other end portion 72 provides the keeper into which the lower end portion 64 of the gate post is positioned in order to permit the upper end portion to be properly pulled toward the post 6, and tightened up. To accomplish this the cable 22 is moved over the top of the gate post and one of the crank handles, whichever is most convenient, is turned until the gate is pulled up as tightly as desired. One of the holes 56 in the cable winding shaft is then lined up with the hole 54 in the bearing and this is accomplished by either advancing or retarding the crank motion. When the two holes are properly lined up the cotter pin is dropped through the holes and the tension on the crank is released. The tension of the gate provides pressure which prevents accidental release of the pin. To open the gate, turn the crank in the direction that will tighten the gate just enough to relax pressure on the locking pin. The locking pin is then pulled out and the crank unwound all the way. The cable is now slipped off the top of the gate post and the bottom of the gate is lifted out of the retaining keeper or wire 72 in an obvious manner. It is desired to stress the fact that the gate closer will pull up tight and hold tightly the gate with a minimum amount of time and effort. Also the construction and arrangement is such that the cable winding and unwinding shaft can be operated from either side of the gate with ease and efficiency. Also the shaft can be turned in either direction. The invention as shown will function to satisfactorily draw a gate up tightly each time it is used without regard to the stretchability that may occur in the wires of the gate structure. The construction is such that the device can be aptly and efiiciently mounted for use on a wide variety of fence posts of different sizes and shapes. In fact it is believed that the invention is of such simplicity and ease of operation that it can be aptly and acceptably operated by anyone (man, woman or child) tall enough to reach and operate the crank.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
