WILLIAM H.- srnvnns, OF ABBOTT, MISSISSIPPI.
DOOR-CHECK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 376,117, dated January 10, 1888. Application filed October 522, 1886. Renewed November 1, 1887. Serial No. 254,012. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. STEVENS, of Abbott, in the county of Clay and State of Mississippi, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Gate I and Barn Door Holding Devices; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such'as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this My invention relates to an improvement in gate and barn-door holding devices; and it consists in thecombination of the gate or barndoor, a guiding-loop secured thereto, a supand an automatically-acting latch for holding the gate or door either open or closed,as will be more fully described hereinafter.
- The object of my invention is to provide an automatic fastening device for gates and barndoors, so that the gate or door will be automatically locked each time that it is either opened or closed. a
Figurev 1 is a side elevation of a gate em bodying myinvention,showing the gate closed. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, showing the gate open.
A represents the gate post,'and B an ordinary gate. Secured to one side of this gateis a guiding-loop, C, and a latching-loop, D.
supporting-frame, F, upon which is pivoted the latch G, which passes through the guiding-loop, and which has its end to engage with the latching-loop whenever the gate is closed. The guiding-loop serves the twofold purpose l of supporting the latch in a horizontal position and as a latching-loop when the gate is wide open. When the gate isbeing closed, the guiding-loop 0 moves upon the latch G until the beveled end of the latch rises up over the the fastening-loop D and engages therewith. While the parts are in this position, the gate is looked so that it cannot be opened. When the end of' the latch is disengaged from the locking-loop,the gate can be swung wide open, and whileit is opening the guiding'loop moves upon the latch until its recessed end drops upon the loop 0, as shown in Fig. 2. The gate is then looked in an opened position and cannot be moved until the latch is raised upward.
Although the gate only is here shown, my invention is equally applicable to barn-doors and serves to hold them open and closed in the same manner.
Having thus described my invention, I claim The combination of a gate or door, with the guiding and locking loops, the supportingframe for the latch, the post A, upon which the latch is secured at the opposite side or corner from the hinge, and the latch which is pivoted or jointed to its support at a point not corresponding to or registering with the hinge of the gate, and which passes through the guiding-loop and. alternately engages with the loops for the purpose of locking the gate or door in position, substantially as shown.
In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
' WILLIAM H. STEVENS.
