J OHN H. LAMOUREUX, OF ROBINSON, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR- OF ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM WESLEY ROUNDTREE, OF SAME PLACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 331,720, dated December 1, 1835.
Application filed July 2, 1885. Serial No. 170,530. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OHN H. LAMOUREUX, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Robinson, in the county of Crawford and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 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 refer ence marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in adjustable gates; and it consists in the construction and combination of the parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, which illus t-rate my invention, Figure l is a perspective view of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a detail view.
In the accompanying drawings, A repre sents the vertical post, which is provided with a horizontally-projecting cappiece, a, and a similar projecting base-piece, b, between which projecting portions of the post A the vertical batten B of the gate is pivoted.
The gate proper consists of three or more vertical battens, B C D, to which are bolted or otherwise pivotally secured the rails E, said rails proj ccti ng slightly beyond the outer edge of the batten D, so that they will abut against the post A. The base-piece Z) of the post A is provided ecccntrically or at one side of the pivots which support the gate, and upon which said gates turn, with an upwardly-projecting pin, F, over which is placed a strap, G, the opposite end of said strap being attached to the lower end of a supporting-bar, H, which extends diagonally upward, and is provided at its opposite end with a bent bar, I, which is constructed as shown in Fig. 2. The lower end of the bar I has a horizontally-projecting portion, 2', which is screw'threaded at its end for the reception of a retaining-nut, while the other end of the bar is bent so as to encircle the top rail of the gate. When it is desired to elevate the front end of the gate so that it will swing clear of obstacles, said end is raised, and the looped portion z" of the bar is slipped along the upper rail, E, and the gate will thus be held in a raised position. The loop i will, when placed over the rail, be forced by the bar H to an inclined position, so that its ends will bind upon the upper and lower edges of the rail, and will remain in position without the employment of additional fastening devices. The end of the strap G which passes over the pivot-pin F will bear upon the upper edge of the base-piece b, and its opposite end is bent upwardly, so as to be on nearly the same angle with the supporting-bar H.
By the construction hereinbefore described it will be readily seen that I provide a swinging gate which is extremely cheap in construction, and which may be elevated, so as to allow small animals to pass under the same or swing clear of obstructions, and also that with a gate constructed as hereinbefore described, if the bars are in a horizontal position when the gate is closed, the same will be forced to an upwardly-inclined position when the gate is opened, and that the weight of the gate, when the bars are raised, will have a tendency to keep the same closed.
I am aware of the United States Patent No. 73,016, granted January '7, 1868, to one J. L. Landis, and also No. 96,106, granted October 6, 1869, to one It. Hatch, Jr., and I do not therefore claim, broadly, any feature disclosed by said patents.
I claim- In a swinging gate, the supporting-post A, having horizontal projecting top and base pieces, between which is pivoted the gate-supporting batten B, and an upwardly-projecting pin, F, located eccentrically to the gate-pivots, in combination with the supportingbar H, having attached at the upper end thereof a looped bar, I, which encircles the upper rail of the gate, the parts being organized substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN H. LAMOUREUX. lVitnesses:
G. W. HENDERSON, W. WV. ROUNDTREE.
