WILLIAM WALDO HALLADAY, OF FARINA, ILLINOIS.
WIRE-FENCE GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,319, dated February 6, 1894.
Application filed September 15 1893- Serial No.485,553. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM WALDO HAL- LADAY, of Farina, in the county of Fayette and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Wire-Fence Gate, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to improvements in gates for wire fences; and the object of my invention is to produce an extremely cheap and simple gate, which in reality forms a part of an ordinary wirefence; and which is so cheap and simple that it may be applied at frequent intervals between the posts of the fence, so that the fence may be opened up at almost any desired point to facilitate passage through it and to enable teams to be readily driven from field to field.
A further object of the invention is to construct the gate in such a way that it may.
be very easily opened and may be securely closed.
To this end my invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a broken perspective view with parts in seotion,of a gate and fence, showing my improvements. Fig. 2 is'a vertical section through one of the fence posts and shows in detail the mechanism for holding the gate closed, the gate being shown in a closed and locked position; and Fig. 3 is a similar view, but with the locking lever thrown up into position to unfasten the gate.
The gate embodying my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings as forming a part of an ordinary barbed wire fence, but it may be used in connection with a wire fence of any kind. The fence is provided with the usual posts and I convert a section between two posts 10 and 10 into a gate, of which the strands of wire form the body. To the free ends of the several strands of a section of the fence is fastened a stile 12, the lower end of which is held to the post 10 bya common staple 13 or equivalent fastening and the stile has, near its upper end, a link 14 which is engaged by a book 15 extending transversely through a hole 16 in the post 10, and the back end of the hook is pivoted to a lever 17 like the usual eccentric or cam lever, this lever having a cam 18 to engage the fence post and tighten the hook and having also in its handle alongitudinal slot 19 which is adapted to swing down over a staple 2O inthe fence post.
It will be observed by reference to Figs. 2 and 3 that when the lever is thrown upthe hook 15 is released and the stile 12 may be detached from the post 10 but when the lever is thrown down, as in Fig. 2, the cam 18 causes the hook to be pulled back so as to hold the link 14. snugly against the post and the stile 12 cannot be removed.
When the lever is in locked position, as in Fig. 2, a padlock 21 may be fastened in the staple 20, soas to prevent the gate from being tampered with, or if it is not necessary actually to lock the gate a pin may be placed in the staple 20 so as to hold the lever 17 in position. When the gate is to be opened, the lever is thrown up, as shown in Fig. 3, the stile 12 is raised from the hook 15 and staple 13, and the gate, that is, the stile and the wires secured thereto, may be thrown to one side or the wires may be rolled up on the stile.
In the drawings I have shown a gate as applied to a three-Wire fence, but it will be understood that any number of wires may be secured to the stile in the manner described. It may be also used in connection with any wires, barbed or smooth, and may be applied to any woven wire or wire slat or picket fence.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A wire fence gate, provided with a fence post, having a transverse bore, a hook permanently connected with the post and held to slide longitudinally in the bore of the post, a gate stile adapted for detachable engagement with one end of the said hook and a cam lever pivoted to the other end of the hook and adapted to rest against the back of the post,
substantially as described.
2. The combination, of the gate stile, the link held thereon the fence post, the hook slidably mounted in the post and adapted to engage the link on the stile, the cam lever secured to the back end of the hook and provided with a slot in its handle, and a staple secured to the post and adapted to nter the slot in the lever, substantially as described.
WILLIAM WALDO HALLADAY.
