CHARLES II. FIDLER, OF MONROE, VISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO A. E. ROOD, OF SAME PLACE.
GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 447,042, dated February 24, 1891.
I v Application filed September 10, 1890. Serial No. 364,547. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. FIDLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Monroe, iu the county of Green and State of Visconsin, 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 xo appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to gates, and belongs particularly to that class ot' gates which are provided with lever attachments for opening and closing the same. x5 In order that my invent-ion may be understood, I have illustrated it in the annexed drawing, to which reference will be made in the specification following, which contains a full, clear, and exact description of my device.
rlhe drawing is a perspective view of my improved gate.
Similar letters of reference refer to identical parts throughout.
A A representthe upright supporting-standards of the gate, provided at a portion of their length with slots d. `In my preferred construction these uprights are supported by and are secured to the sleepers A A', which are fastened rigidly together by means of the longitudinal pieces e e.
l5l represents a gate of ordinary construction, which I provide with levers b b', one end of each of whichI pivotally fasten to the gate, as at c c. Duplicate sets of levers are provided, one on each side of the gate. The opposite ends of the forward levers b b are extended some distance, and movably secured to a horizontal rod b3, which is mounted and slides in the slots ct a of the standards,.and
40 which is preferably provided with antifric tion-rollers b4. The upper ends of the levers b' b are fastened by means of pivots to the upper extremities of the levers d,.the lower -ends of which are pivotally attached to the rear ends of the longitudinal pieces c. Le-
vers d cl', similar to levers d d, are provided near the other end of the pieces e, and their upper ends are pivoted to the levers b h. The upper extremities of the levers d d and d d are connected bymeans of the cross-bars cl2 d2. Braces C C are secured rigidly to the upright A, and are recessed at y to receive the lever-arms D D, which are pivoted therein, the inner ends of said arms beingconnected with the rod b3, preferably by link-connections, and the outer ends being free. A top piece E is preferably secured to the top of the uprights A A, and acts to strengthen the same.
The operation of the device is as follows: The gate being closed, as shown in the drawing, a downward pully on either of the leverarms D D causes the rod b3 to rise in the slots a a, thereby bringing the levers b b, and c onsequently the other levers, into an approximately vertical position, which forces the gate backward; but as this is being done the inertia of the gate carries it into such a position that the levers b b, and consequently the other levers, willl be inclined in the opposite direction, when by simply raising the arms D D the gate may be pushed back as far as desired. It is evident that the gate may be A series of openings g may be provided in the levers b b, and the gate Amay be raised more or less in the operation of opening and closing by pivoting the upper end of the levers d d at one or the other of these points. I prefer to use single pivots passing entirely through the gate and levers.
I am aware that lever-gates have been patented involving some of the principles of my invention; but these I do not broadly claim.
Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination, with the lifting and mov.- ing frame, consisting of the vertically-dis` posed levers d d', connected to the cross'bars d2 d2 by horizontal pivots g, of a gate sus- In testimony whereof I aflix my sigimtu re in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES 1I. FIDLER.
