GATE-LATCH Patented April 30, 1907.
Application filed ugus 16, 1905. Serial No. 274,426.
1'0 all 'IU/I/OTi'Z/ it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BRADLEY S. Rno'ron, a citizen of the United States, residing in Washington county and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gate-Latches, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to gate latches, and its primary object is to provide a novel and highly useful device of this character which shall be simple and durable, one which may be applied to any construction of gate, and one which may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.-
l/Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is an elevation of a gate, illustrating the application of my improved latch. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the latch mechanism, the guide and a portion of the lever being in section, and Fig. i is an elevation of fragmentary portions of the latch post and gate, the same illustrating the reverse side of the gate and latch post to that illustrated in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings by reference numerals, 1 designates a gate which comprises horizontal bars 2, end bars 33, vertical braces i5, a diagonal brace 6 and atensioning member 7. The brace projects slightly above the brace 4, and the tensioning member 7 is secured to the tops of these braces, the free ends of the member being secured to the upper ends of the bars 3-3 by straps 8. 4
Each of the end bars 3 and braces 4 are secured on each side of the horizontal bars 2 and slidably positioned between them and mounted upon one of the horizontal bars 2 is a latch 9. A guide 10 is arranged parallel to the latch 9 and secured in applied position by a bracket 11, which is carried by one of the end bars 3. A lever 13 is pivotally secured to one of the horizontal bars 2 above the latch 9 and has its end projecting through a slot in the tensioning member 7.
The lower end of the lever carries a bolt 1 1, which projects through the latch 9 and through an elongated opening 15 in the guide 10. The belt is held in applied position upon the lever 13 by a cap 16 which is secured to the lower end of the lever over the head of the bolt. An expansion spring 12 is mounted upon the guide 10 and has one of its ends secured to a bracket 11 mounted upon one of the braces *1, the other end of said spring being positioned in engagement with the bolt 14 to retain the latch 9 yieldingly projected.
To withdraw the latch 9 from engagement with its keeper, the lever 13 is swung toward the latch post. hen the lever is released, the spring moves the latch 9 in projected position to engage its keeper when the gate is swung closed.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompai'iying drawings, the construction and mode of operation of the invention will be understood without a further extended description.
Changes in the form, proportions and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
Having fully described and illustrated in invention, what I claim is:
The herein described gate provided with a latch mounted to slide thereon, a guide secured to the gate in a position parallel to the latch, said guide provided with an elongated opening, a lever pivotally connected to the gate, a bolt carried by said lever and disposed at a right angle thereto, and passed through the latch and through the opening in the guide, and a spring for projecting the latch, said spring having one end secured to the gate and mounted upon the guide for engagement with the bolt to retain the latch, and a tension bar secured at the top of the gate, said lever passing through a slot in the tension bar, substantially as described.
I11 testimony whereof, I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
BRADLEY S. REGTOR. I/Vitnesses L. T. CosBY, JAMES L. WHITE.
