.To all whom' it may concern:
Beit known that I, JOHN W. BEALL, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, .county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Securers for Gates and Doors, of which the following is a A specification;
The main objects of this invention are to provide an improved form of prop for securing a fence-gate in a partly-opened position and to provide a deviceof this class lwhich may be readilyl attached to either wooden or wire fence gates without requiring special construction'A for each. I accomplish these objects by the device shown in the accompanying drawings', in which- Figurel 1 is a front elevation of a gate provided with a prop constructed according to -ths invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged front view in perspective of the hinge vmember which connects the prop to the gate. Fig. 3 is a rear view of the same, also in perspective, j and I illustrating the method of applying the same to a wire structure such as is used in the gates of wire fences.
In the construction shown the prop 1 is of wood and is connected at its upper end to a hinge-plate 2. The plate 2 has a pair of forwardly-extending ears 3, which are pivotally l connected by the pin 6 with corresponding ears 4 on the bracket-plate 5, which secures the brace to the gate. The plate 2 is provided with holes 7 to receive bolts for fastening said plate to the brace 1. The rear face of the plate 2 has a rearwardly-extending lu 8 near the hinge-joint, adapted to engage te end of the brace 1, and has also two lugs 9 near its lower end adapted to engage opposite sides of the brace 1. These lugs insure a rigid connection between the plate 2 and the brace 1 and take up the strain of the brace, so as to prevent the screws or bolts in the holes 7 from becomin loosened.
The late is provide with a plurality of bolt-ho es 10 4and 11. The late 5 has connected therewith a spring-c ip 12, provided with a pair of forwardly-extendin arms 13,
f which are adapted to engage the sldes of the brace 1 and hold the same in a lifted position. The plate 5 has on its rear face a pair of rearwardly and downwardly extending hooks 14. The upper surface of said hooks forms a shoulder for engaging the lower edge of one of the cross-bars 16 ofa wooden gate. Bolts passing through the apertures 10 selcure the plate 5 rigidly againstthe cross-'bar thrust of the brace' 1. The lower bolt-hole 11 is located below the hooked shoulders 14 and is intended for use onlywhen the device is applied to a wire, fence, as shown in Fig. 3.
with a plurality of llugs or rid es 17 and 18. These areall'of the same heig t and of less height than the hooks 14. When the device is a plied to a wooden fence, as in Figs. 1 and l piece 16 and serve to space the plate 5 slightly away from said cross-piece', but at the same time give the same a firm bearing. This airspace is of advantage, since it prevents the accumulation of moisture under the plate 5, and thus prevents decay ofthe cross-piece 16.
The lugs 18 arezlocated in airs, respectively, at op osite sides of eac of the boltholes 10 an from eachbolt-hole a distance which corresponds to the usual thickness of wire ordinaril used in the 'construction of wire fences.l The eight ofthe lugs 18 also corresponds to suchthickness. The vertical stay-wire, of a wire-fence gateis shown at 19 in Fig. 3, and one of the horizontal strand-wires is shown at 20. These Ywires are connected by any usual form of joint'to prevent relative slipping. When the plate 6 is secured to a wireence gate, the hooks 14 are passed over one of the horizontal wires 20 and the vertical wire is placed between the lu s 18. Bolts are then passed through the ho es 10 and 11 at either side of the stay-wire 19, and said wire is confined between the bolt and the adjacent lug 18 by means of the nut and washer 21 on the bolt. The lowest hole 11 is located immediately below the hooks 14, lso that when a bolt is passed through said hole for engaging the stay-wire 19 it will at the same time bear against the horizontal cross-wire 20 and prevent the plate 5 from slipping upwardly on the stay-wire 19. The lugs 17 are cated near the outer edges of the plate 5, so as to provide a firm bearing for the same when it is applied to a wooden fence, as in Figs. 1 and 2.
The o eration of the device shown is as fol; lows; T 1e prop 7 is lifted, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, when not in use, being held in such position. by the s ring-clip 12.
partly-open position, as for causing animals i The rear face of the plate 5 is also provided When it is desired to secure t e gate in a- 16 and assist the shoulders 14 in resisting the 2, t ese lugs'bear upon the face of the cross-v 11. The are spaced away` IOO of the same height as the lugs 18 and are lo- IIO Fig. 1.

5. A gate-securer comprising a plate, having on one face a bearing-surface adapted to iit against a flat surface, a brace at l one lend to said plate, bolt-holes in said plate,
bolts extending through 'said holes, the face of said plate being depressed from the bearingsurface at the sides of said bolt-holes to er.- mit a wire to be conind bet-Ween the p te and bolts in the manner described.
