GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 408,117, dated July 30, 1889.
Application filed March 19,1889.
T0 aZZ whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, JOHN E. LITTLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Princeton, in the county of Gibson and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gates, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved gate closed, a portion of one of the operating-levers being broken off; Fig. 2, a plan view of the same, the position of the gate and operating-levers when open being indicated by dotted lines; and Fig. 3,a perspective view of the gate, showing a slight modification of the operating-bars.
The invention has for its object, essentially, the production of an extremely simple and practical swinging gate of that class adapted to be openedwithont alighting from the vehicle, as will be more fully hereinafter specified.
Referring to the drawings annexed, A A designate, respectively, the main or hinge post and the supplemental or latch post, and B the gate,which may be of any construction, and is hinged to the post A in any suitable manner. The gate is provided with a sliding latch-bar a, which rests upon the upper edge of one of the gate-rails and works between the vertical battens of the gate, a transverse pin a being inserted in the bar to restrict its movement when drawn back. \Vhen the latch is pushed forward, its forward end enters a recess in the adjacentface of the latclrpost in the usual manner, and locks the gate.
Planted or anchored in the ground a suitable distance from the main post A, and in line therewith, is a supplemental post C.
These two posts support a horizontally-recip- I the links E are pivotally'connected to the lower ends of the vertical bars of the anglelevers F F, these angle-levers being pivoted,

respectively, upon the posts A G. The horizontal bars of the angle-levers are extended out in the line of the roadway a suitable distance and provided with depending operating rods or handles G. The operating-handle and a portion of the angle-lever to the right of the figures are broken away, as is evident.
Pivoted or hinged to the post A is a horizontal arm II, the outer end of which is connected to the latch-bar a by means of a link cl. This arm H is also connected to the reciprocating bar D by means of a link e,which is pivoted to the top of the bar D "and the bottom of the arm H at suitable points. The arm H andlink e, it will be observed, form a sort of toggle-lever connection between the main post and the bar D.
In the modification shown in 3 the c0nnecting-bars E are done away with, and the angle-levers connected directly to the sliding bar, and the sliding bar is disengaged from the posts and allowed to swing freely back and forth without the slightest friction.
The operation of the gate is as follows: A quick downward pull upon the left-hand one of the operating-handles G will impart a forward movement to the bar D, which, through the medium of the links and arm, will unlatch the gate and swing it a little more than halfway open, in which position the arm H and link e will be on the outside of the reciproeating bar D. Then, by a sudden upward push upon the same operating-handle the gate may be swung completely open, the position of the gate and bars and links while the gate is open being shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The operation of closing the gate is precisely the same as in opening-that is to say, a sudden downward pull is first given the operating-handle and then it is pushed upward, the gate being automatically latched. In operating the gate from the other handle Gthat is, the one to the right, which is not shown on the drawings-the operation is reversedthat is, the handle is first pushed up and then pulled down, as is evident.
It is evident that I can vary the construction somewhat without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is- 1. The combination of a gate and posts, a
reciprocating bar mounted upon these posts, suitable operating-levers connected to this bar, an arm H, pivoted to one of the posts, and pivotal links connecting this arm to the gate and bar, substantially as described.
2. The combination of a gate and suitable posts, a reciprocating bar and operatinglevers, a latch-bar 0n the gate, an arm H, pivoted to one of the posts and connected to 10 this latch-bar by means of a link, and a pivotal link connecting this man to the reciprocating bar, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signatm e in presence of two Witnesses.
