FASTENER FOR FRAM ELESS WIRE GATES.
SPECIFICATION forming partei.' Letters Patent No. 726,332, dated Ap1128, 1903.
Application filed November l. 1902. Serial No. 129,663. (No model.)
To @ZL whom, it may concern.-
Beit known that I, SAMUEL P. MCCAsLIN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Haigler, in the county of Dundy and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fasteners for Frameless Wire Gates, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanyingr drawings.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in fasteners for frameless Wire gates.
In the construction of wire fences passageways are often formed therein by attaching the line-wires to a vertical bar, which bar is detachably connected to a post by means of a fastener.
My invention relates to certain new and useful im provementsin those fastenerswhich besides providing a fastening means for the said bar serve to stretch the line-wires, thus preventing the same from sagging.
A further object of my invention is to afford a locking means which cannot be displaced by the animals in pastures, tbc., rubing against the same.
To these ends my invention consists in theA construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, reference will be had to the several views, in which like numerals of reference denote like parts throughout the several views, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View showing a frameless wire gate locked by my improved fastener. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of my improved fastener with a portion of the handle broken away and shown in section. Figs. 8 and 4 are like views of one of the keepers and the catch forming a part of my improved fastener. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective of the locking-lever with a portion thereof broken away. A
1 and 2 represent the fence or gate posts, to which are secured the fence or line wires 3, anda denotes a vertical bar, in which the line-wires have their terminals. To the said bar is pivotally secured the operating-lever 5, one end of which is bent. outwardly at right angles, as at G, to provide a handle for operating the same, the other` end of the lever 5 being bent to an approximate V shape, as at 7, which is provided at its apex with an aperture S and countersunk portion 9 for the reception of a screw 0r pivot-pin 10. To the outer end of this V-shaped portion is pivotally secured at 1l a locking-lever 12, provided at its one end with a curved or hooked portion 13, which engages the pin or spike 14, provided in the post 1. The locking-lever 12 is provided on its one end with a projection or stop 15, (shown in Fig. 5 and in dotted lines in Fig. 2,) which stop is adapted to engage the edge of the lever 5.
16 denotes a catch which comprises .a latch member 17.` pivoted at its oneendl to keepers 18, the rear ends of which are beveled, as at 19, thereby providing means whereby the rear end of the latch 17 can be depressed. These keepers 1S are provided with an extension 20, by means of which the catch is secured to the lever 5, the said extension 2O also serving as a stop 21 for the lever 12.
'lhe operation of my device is as follows: The gate being closed, as seen in Fig. 1, when it is desired to open the same the operator presses upon the rear end of the latch 1.7, thus releasing the tongue 22 of the latch member 17 from engagement with the lever12 and permitting thelever 5 to be swung to the right on the pivot-point 10, forcing the outer end of the V-shaped portion 7 downwardly and to the left, and thereby simultaneously forcing the lever 12 also to the left and releasing the hooked portion 13 from its engagement with the pin 14. lVhen the two levers 5 and 12 come into `approximate alinement with each other, the lug 15 on lever 12 will engage the edge 15' of lever 5, and both levers will turn as one on the pivot 10, thus raising the hooked end 13 of lever 12 from its engagement with the pin 14. 'lo lock the gate, the operating lever 5 is thrown to the left until the'st'op 21 of the catch contacts with and forces the lever 12 into hooked engagement with the pin 14 and at the same time locking the levers together bythe gravity-latch 17.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim to be new and useful, and upon which I claim protection, is-
1. The combination with the gate-post, and
ICO
the gate-bar, of a locking-lever having one of its ends removably secured to the gate-post, an operating-lever pivoted intermediate its ends to the gate-bar and having its free end pivoted to the free end of the said locking-lever, and a catch carried by the said operating-lever for engagement with the said locking-lever, substantially as described.
2. In a gate-fastener, an operating-lever comprising a handle and V-shaped portion, a lockingdever pivoted thereto, a catch provided on the said operatingdever, said catch comprising keepers and a latch member, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a gate-fastener, the combination of levers movably connected to each other, and
gravity means for lockingr the said levers together.
4. In a gate-fastener, the combination of an operating-lever,a locking-lever secured thereto, a lug carried by said locking-lever adapted to be engaged by the said operating-lever, acatch carried by the said operating-lever, said catch comprising keepers, gravity-latch and means for forcing the locking-lever into a locked position, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I afx my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
SAMUEL P. MCOASLIN.
