Description

UNiTnD STATES CHRISTOPHER ILGEN, JR.,
ArnNr erica.
OF IVILLOVV DELL, OHIO.
GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 576,581, dated February 9, 1897.
Application iiled March 17, 1896. Serial No. 583,597. (No model.)
Beit known that I, CHRISTOPHER ILGEN, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Willow Dell, in the county of Darke and State of Ohio, have in vented 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 provide simple, positive, and reliable means for enabling a gate to be readily unlatched and opened and closed at a distance from it without 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 and shown closed. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view, the gate being open. Fig. 3 is a rear end elevation, the gate being open.
Like numerals of reference designate corre-y sponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates a swinging gate constructed in any suitable manner and hinged to a-post or upright 2 of a supporting-frame 3, composed of a pair of uprights 2 and 4 and upper and lower horizontal connecting- bars 5 and 6. The gate is provided with a sliding latch-bar 7, adapted to engage a keeper 8 of a latchpost 9, against which the gate closes, and the latch-bar is connected by a link-rod 10 with an arm 11 of a rock-shaft 12. The link-rod is provided at its ends with eyes. One of the eyes is secured to the latch-bar by a staple 13 or the like, and the other eye is securedto a threaded stud 14 by a nut. The threaded stud, which is carried by the arm 11 of the rock-shaft 12, is formed by bending the outer end of the arm at right angles to the body portion thereof.
The rock-shaft, which is arranged horizontally, is journaled in suitable bearings 15 of the lower horizontal connecting-bar o'. The arm 11 is arranged at its inner end and is provided at its outer end with an arm 16, arranged at right angles to the arm 11 and eX- tending outward substantially horizontally from the upper face of the connecting-bar 6 when the gate is closed, the arm 11 being arranged in a vertical position when the gate is closed. The arm 1.6 is connected by a-linkbar 17 with a pair of operating- levers 18 and 19, which are fulcrumed on the uprights 2 and 4 at the top thereof, and the lower end of the link-bar 17 is pivoted to the outer end of the arm '16, and its upper end is provided with a hook 20, engaging perforations of plates 21, which are secured to the inner adjacent ends of the operating-levers andwhich overlap to cause such perforations to register.
The operating-levers are arranged in suit able casings 22 and the lever 18 is provided at its pivoted or fulcrumed point with a slot to permit a limited longitudinal movement of it during its oscillation.
The rock-shaft 12 is arranged longitudinally of the roadway or at right angles to the gate when the latter is closed in order that the arm 1l may have a direct backward pull to reciprocate the latch-bar and prevent the same from binding and interfering with the operation of the gate.
The outer ends of the operating-'levers are provided with depending handles and are adapted to be readily grasped from avehicle or on horseback; and when one of the operating-levers has its outer portion depressed the gate will be swung open, and when the operating-lever is raised the gate will be closed.
It will be seen that the means for operating the gate are simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction and positive and reliable in operation, and that they will enable a gate to be readily opened and closed at a distance from it and without dismounting or leaving a vehicle.
It will also be apparent that when the innerv IOO ing from the gate in opposite directions and I having their inner ends overlapped, one of the operating-levers being slotted at its pivotal point to provide for a limited longitudi nal movement, and an upWardly-extending link pivoted to the outer arm of the rock-shaft and pivotally Connecting` the overlapped ends of the operating-levers, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing,` as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
