ISAAC N. WILLIAMS, OF FOLTZ, INDIANA.
GATE
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. '7, 1908.
Application filed March 23. 1907. Serial No. 364.186.
To allwhom "it may concern:
Be it known that I, ISAAC N. WILLIAMs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Foltz, in the county of Jefferson and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Gate, of which the following is a specification.
The. invention relates to improvements in gates.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of gates, and to provide a simple and inexpensive gate, which will be light, strong and durable, and which may be readily adjusted to counter-act sag.- gmg,
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to with.- out departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing :*Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gate, constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view partly in section. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view, illustrating the construction of the clip for clamping the inclined braces together.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing.
1 and 2 designate vertical end bars, which may be constructed of any suitable material, such as wood, angle iron, or tubular metal, and to which is secured wire netting or fencing 3, or other woven wire, which constitutes the body of the gate. The connecting wires are stapled, or otherwise secured to the vertical end bars 1 and 2, which are connected by extensible inclined braces 4, constructed of tubular metal and having flattened ends 5, which are secured by suitable fastening devices 6 to the end bar 1 of the gate. The end bar 1 is provided at its upper and lower portions with slots or bifurcations 7 to receive the flattened ends 5 of the inclined braccs,which are diagonally arranged and which cross each other at the center of the gate. The other ends 8 of the inclined braces receive threaded rods or screws 9, which have flattened outer ends 10, secured by suitable fastening devices 11 in slots or bifurcations 12 of the end bar 2 of the gate.
The tubular braces are diagonally arranged and extend from the corners of the gate at one end thereof to within a short distance of the corners at the other end of the gate. The screws or threaded rods 9 and the tubular braces form telescopic members, and the former receive nuts 13, which engage the ends 8 of the tubular braces and which are adapted to extend the diagonal braces for stretching the connecting Wires to the desired tension. The extensible diagonal braces are adapted to maintain the connecting wires at a high tension, and they may be adjusted from time to time to counter-act sagging.
After the diagonal braces have been properly adjusted, they are secured together at the point of crossing by a substantially U-shaped clip. 14, receiving the tubular braces and provided with a clip plate 15, which is retained on the sides of the clip by means of nuts .16. The terminals of the sides of the U-shaped clip are threaded to receive the nuts 16.
The fastening devices 6 and 10 constitute pivots and permit the necessary oscillatory movement of the extensible diagonal braces, incident to the stretching of the flexible body portion of the gate.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A gate comprising end bars, a flexible body portion connecting the end bars, diagonally arranged tubular braces connected to one of the end bars, adjusting means connecting the said braces with the other end bar and adapted to extend the said braces for stretching the flexible body portion of the gate, and a centrally arranged clip receiving and clamping the tubular braces.
2. A gate comprising end bars, a flexibl body portion connecting the end bars, and In testimony, that I claim the foregoing inclined diagonally arranged bracing means as my own, I have hereto affixed my signacomposed of telescopic members and conture in the presence of two Witnesses.
nected with the end bars, adjusting-devices ISAAC N. WILLIAMS. 5 for extending the bracing means, and means Witnesses:
for clamping the diagonally arranged brac- I. M. BRIDGE,
ing means at the point of crossing. E. BAYLESS.
