srncrr'zcarroivromn m of Letters Patent No. 547,261, dated October 1, 1895.
Application filed April 17, 1895- Scrlal No- 546,077. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM N. flirt", a citi Zen of the United States, residing at Piggott, in the county of Clay and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful Gate, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in gates.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of swinging gates and to enable them to be readily opened and closed at a distance from either side of them without necessitating the operators dismounting or leaving a vehicle.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a gate constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a detailview illustratin g the manner of hingin g the gate. Fig. 3 is a detail view illustrating the construction of the latch-bar.
Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlugs.
1 designates a swinging gate hinged to a post 2 and having its upper portion separated from the post 2 a greaterdistance than its lower end to cause it to swing to or close antomatically when free to do so. The gate 1 closes against a 1atch-post 3 and is adapted to open in either direction and is provided with a pivoted latch-bar 4:, located between two of the horizontal rails of the gate and pivoted at its inner end between a pair of inclined braces or bars 5. The latch-bar projects beyond the free end of the gate and is adapted to engage a double keeper 6 of the post 3 when the gate is closed, and it is also adapted to engage keepers 7 of uprights 8 to retain the gate in an open position.
The uprights 8 are located at suitable distances from the gate at opposite sides thereof and are provided with upwardly-inclining resilient arms 9, consisting of rods extending over the roadway and secured to the uprights adjacent to the tops thereof and provided at their upper ends with eyes. Two similarlyinclined resilient arms 12 project from the free end of the gate. The operating-ropes have their terminals attached to the latch-bar 41 at opposite sides of the gate, and each rope 10 extends from a side of the gate passing upward from the latch-bar to a guide 14 of the gate to the adjacent upright 8 and passing through the guide 15. It then extends longithrough the adjacent guide 1 1 to the latch-bar 4. The other operating-rope is reversely arranged and extends from the opposite side of the gate. To operate the gate, the operatingrope 10 is grasped adjacent to the upright 8 at the base of the resilient arm. and is drawn away from the upright, whereby the gate is caused to open away'from the operator. The gate is closed after passing through it by grasping the operating-rope adjacent to the other upright and drawing it away from the same.
It will be seen that the means for operating the gate are simple in construction, positive and reliable in operation, and capable of enabling the gate to be open ed and closed at a distance from either side of it.
Changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this in vention.
What I claim is- The combination of a hinge post, a swinging gate hingedly connected with the same, and provided with a pivoted latch bar, a pair of inclined resilient arms diverging from the top of the gate and located at the front end thereof, uprights located at opposite sides of the gate and provided with inclined resilientarms, guides mounted on the gate and located above the latch bar, and the operating ropes connected to the latch bar and extending up ward therefrom through the guides of the gate to the upper ends of the resilient arms thereof and loosely arranged on the same, and extending therefrom and loosely connected with the resilient arms of the uprights, said operating ropes passing downward therefrom my own I have hereto affixed my signature in through guides at the top of the uprights and the presence of two Witnesses. extending across the space between the same,
and thence to the guides of the gate and to WILLIAM N. I-IITT. 5 the latch bar, substantially as and for the pur- Witnesses:
pose described. L. HUNTER,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as NOAH E. HOUSE.
