GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 650,669, dated May 29, 1900.
I Application filed February 15, 1900. Serial No. 5,285. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN 13. Conan, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bloomdale, in the county of Nood and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gates; and I do 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 appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to gates, and more particularly to farm-gates.
The object of the invention is to provide a gate of this character which shall be simple of construction, durable in use, and comparatively inexpensive of production and one which may be easily adjusted, so as to permit of small animals and poultry passin g thereunder, and also to enable the gate to be swung open and closed over stumps, rocks, snowdrifts, or other obstructions.
To this end the invention consists in certain features of construction and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
. ,In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved gate, showing it in its normal position. Fig. 2 is a similar View showing its free end raised.
In the drawings the same reference-characters indicate the same parts of the invention.
1 denotes the end pieces of the gate; 2, the rails, which are pivoted to the end pieces, and 3 a vertical bar pivoted to the rails intermediate their ends.
4 denotes guide-strips secured to the vertical outer end piece of the gate, and 5 denotes strengthening-bars secured to the upper and lower rails and to said vertical outer end piece and serving to prevent said end piece being forced or pried off.
6 denotes a lever pivoted intermediate its ends to one of the rails and having each end formed with a tongue 8, which is adapted to fit into a socket 9, formed in friction-shoes 10, which are adapted to engage the end pieces of the gate. This lever is so pivoted that its forward end is heavier than its rear end.
When it is desired to adjust the gate to per- Init it to swing clear of obstructions or to allow small animals and fowls to pass thereunder, its forward end is raised, and in doing this the weighted end of the lever 6 will lower, thus raising its opposite end and forcing the friction-shoes against the end pieces of the gate, locking the rails of the gate in the position shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, in
' which position it is free to swing over all ob-' structions and to permit of small animals or fowls passing thereunder.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, operation, and advantages of my improved gate will be readily apparent without requiring an extended explanation.
It will be seen that the gate is simple of construction, that said construction permits of its manufacture at small cost, and that it is exceedingly-well adapted for the purpose for whichit is designed.
Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the prim ciple or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A gate comprising the end pieces, rails the ends of which are pivoted to the end pieces, a diagonal bar pivoted intermediate its ends and having the forward end heavier than the other, and friction-shoes adapted to bear against the end pieces, said shoes having a loose connection with the ends of said bar, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A gate composed of the end pieces, rails the ends of which are pivoted to the end pieces, strengthening-bars secured to two of the rails and to one of the end pieces, a diagonal bar pivoted to one of the rails and having reduced ends, the forward end of said bar being heavier than the other, and friction-shoes having sockets to'receive the reduced ends of the pivoted lever, said shoes having a sliding engagement with the edges of the end pieces, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit nesses.
BENJAMIN n. COTANT.
