To all 'whom it ma/ l/ concern i j i Beit known that we, J AMES A VWoon and EDWARD V.`MA.RBAK`ER, of Crosswicks, in the county of Burlington, land in the State of New Jersey, have invented certain-new and useful Improvements" in Gate and Hinge;` and do hereby declare that `the fcllowingis a j full, clear, and exact description thereoiil-re'e'rence `being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, `making a part of t-hisspeciiication.' y The nature of our invent-ion consists in the' conwhich `the gate `is hung, and Working `in connection witha crank, having two pulls and a'leverlwhich is provided with rods, "foropeningfand closing the gate, ith'ewholelsupported by, and'working in connection with "a stationary circularring, as will 'be hereinafter fullysetl forth.

vIn order to enable others skilled in the art to winch our in vention appertainatdmake and Duse the same, D we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed` drawings,` in

Figure 1 is. a side viewiof `a gate and .gate-posts,

Iwith the hinge complete; i i Figure 2 is a plan .view of the stationary circular ring, with the crank, pulls, lever, androds ;V

D Figure D3 isal rearview` of the lever, showing the mannerof attaching the rods bywhich the gate is op# D- eratedl; Y Y D D D D Figure4 4 isa frontview of the .lower'portion of the movable rod or shaft, showing the lower pivots, on

which the gate Ais hung; j

Figure 5 isa plan view of the plate, at or nearthe lower end ofthe gate,to support the gate on the lower pivots of the movable shaft; and

Figure 6 represents a perspective view of 'the gate and hinge;

A` represents the gate, lnadein vany ofthe known and usual ways,and; D I i i B is the post, to which the gate Ais hung.

On top loli' the post B, is secured a circular ring,` C,

through the centre of l which passes a movable 4shaft D or rod, D, whichrnns downward parallel with the pos't 13, passing-through a guide-plate, a, and resting on another plate, 11, atenon being formed on the lower end of the shaft, andinserted into the plate l1;

*Above the guide a, the shaft'l) is provided with a pivot, d,`on which `a loop, e,at theupper end `of the gate, is hung; andjabove the lower plate b,on'the shaft, is an arm, E, extending on both sides of the shaft, and having at each end a pivot, f.

l i, A1701' near the lower endof the gate, is secured a plate, g, having in the centre of its rear edge a sennwith a box-like projection, in which are pivoted two 'pulls or dogs, .G G, which extend, oneon each side of A the crank, and their front ends restagainst' projections ft t', on the outer circumference'of the circle C, while their rear-'ends are within 'the'box on the crank F, pressed apart by av spiral or other spring, h, as seen. in g. 2. j n' AAt the rear end of the box, on the crank, is pivoted a lever, HDwhichis provided in the centre with a clamp-.like projection, I, extending inward'intothe box,and embracing the rear ends of the pulls G G.

To the ends of the lever H, are pivoted rods J J, which, by ropes or chains, are connected with -posts K K, placed one on each side, and a suitable distance from tlieDgate-post B; rlhe rods vJ J are attached to the lever H, insncha manner, that 'when crossed, which-is their proper-poy i turn on theD upper pivot d and on one of the lower v When a vehicle, or apperson on horseback is approaching the gate, the' gate xnay be opened without dismounting, by the following means:

The person pulls on the rope attached to the rod J, when the clamp I raises or releases the pull G nearest to the operator ii'om the projection i, which allows the .crank F to turn, turning at the same time'the shaft D.4 Then, by the action of the bar E, pivots f f,and plate g, the front end of the gate israised up sufiiciently to allow the lock, if properly-constructed, to unlatch itself, when the gate will turn away from the operator, and allowliim to pass through.
