JOHN W.v THOMPSON, O'E iGREENFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS. Letters Patent No. 772,120, dated December 10, 1867;
IMPROVEMENT IN GATES.-
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; f 4 V Be it known that I, JOHN W.,THOMPSON, of Greenfield, in the county of Franklin, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain newY and useful Improvements in the Construction of Farm and other Gates; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken 'in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, is a description ofl'my invention sufficient to enable those skilled in the art This invention is designed to be used inthe construction of :theligh'ter class of farm-gates, 'as well .as for gates to be used in various enclosures about' dwelling-housri, parks, cemeteries, and other placcswhere a light, graceful,` and durable gate isdcsired, whether in connection with a plain or ornamented'fence or hedge.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my gate as hung.
Figure 2, a, cross-section through the front and top, showing the construction Figure 3, a perspective view of an uppervcorner of the gate.
It is very well known te' all having any practical experience, that gates of wood, however carefully und strongly made, are very liable to sag, and, gettingout'of their true shape, fail to shut, and soon become useless.
They also require to be kept thoroughly painted to prevent decay from water penetrating the joints, and the consequentswelling and shrinking of' the wood and their speedy destruction. .This is both troublesome and expensive, Iron gates have, therefore, been made for many years, but havingfheretoforalways been constructed of solid bars or rods,have been very expensive, very heavy, and therefore very incoilvenient. Gates made according to my invention are not liable to these objections. I
I make my gate of any suitable iron or' other metallic tubing,` A B, as, for instance, and perhaps cheapest and most convenient, common gas-pipe of the proper relative sizes for the Stiles, rails, and braces or cross-pieces of whatever sized gate I wish to make. 4These I join together by suitable'iron or other metallic coupling'or fastenings, C D, commonly the angles', Ts. and other connections used foujoining gas-pipe, as vrepresented in the drawings. The back corners, E, may be {itted with T's, into the outside ends of which the hooks or eyesF, with which the gate is to be hung,`may be secured.l `The upper corners may -both be furnishedwith Ts, so that if desired an ornament may be screwed upon thetop, as at G in g. 3. The latch or' other fastening 'for the gate may be easily and neatly managed by having a rod passing down inside the front stile, 'as at in iig. 2.
It will thus be seen that I combine in my gute all the requisites to be desiredstrength, durability, light ness, gracefulness, and eusiness of han-ging `and fastening.
I do not confine myself to any particular form of gate; but
I claim, and desire to secure-by Letters Patent V A gate, made of metallic tubing and connections, substantially as herein set forth and described,
JOHN W. THOMPSON.
