Serial No. 543,468.
To all whom it may concern: the hinge post side of the gateway opening Be it known that 1, Joan Homznn, a citii higher than the ordinary post, and is Zen of the United States, residing at Friend, sp d from the post 12 a distance greater in the county of Saline, State of Nebraska, a the thl'ow of the gate, or greater have invented certain new and useful Imthnll e W dth Of t e gateway opening, this provements in Gates; and I do hereby del tter postbeing represented at 13. The clare the following to be a full, clear, and Posts 1 and 13 may be of any suitable evact description of the invention, such as Construction, but will generally be of wood, will enable others skilled in the art to which but Will he HDdGIStOOCl that it is 110t it appertains to make and use the same. eCl to limit the invention to any Specific This invention relates to improvements in lniltefidl the PO gates, more particularly to the larger class COnIleOtQCl t0 0 Side Of the P 12 8 i of farm gates, and has for its object t i strap 1st having inwardly directed terminals prove the construction and increase the etlt n Secured y bolts 01 h r as ening ciency and utility of devices of this charmea s 15-16 to the post. By this arrangeacter. ment the body portion of the strap is spaced Another object of the invention is to pro way f o he post 12, and mounted for rovide a gate of simple construction and eifecon between the outwardly directed portually balanced so that the labor necestion of the strap and the post are two pairs sary to open and close the gate is reduced to f gu e rollers, 1 upper pair 8 d a a minimum. lower pair 19. Connected at 20 to the post Vith these and other objects in view, the 12 and between the post and the strap 14 is invention consists in certain novel features a rail 21, the rail being extended horizonof construction as hereinafter shown and detally toward and connected by a clip 22 to scribed and then specifically pointed out in the post 13. The rail 21 is thus spaced the claim; and, in the drawings illustrative above the body of the fence 10 and in paral of the preferred embodiment of the invenlel relation therewith, as shown. tion, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the im- The gate may be constructed of any suitproved gate in closed position.

Fig. 7 is an en- 2728, and extending upwardly above the larged perspective view of the hanger gate, and connected at 2930 between the which couples the gate with one of the straps Ell-28 are two guide bars 3l32, guide bars. the guide bars being spaced apart a distance The improved gate may be employed in corresponding to the spaces between the connection with fences of various construcpairs of rollers 18-19, so that the bars are tions, but for the purpose of illustration is guided between the rollers, as shown. At shown associated with a conventional wire their opposite ends the bars 3132 are confence represented as a whole at 10. nected at 33 34 between two straps 35-36.
In the improved gate structure two posts. The bars 8132 are considerably longer 1112 are employed at opposite sides of the than the gate, and mounted for rotation begateway opening, the post 11 occupying the tween the straps 35-36 are spaced rollers position of the ordinary latch post, while 37, similar to the rollers 18l9, and operthe post 12 occupies the position of the ordiating upon opposite sides of the rail 21, as nary hinge post but is higher than the usual shown. hinge post. One of the posts of the fence at Connected between the lower rail 32 and the vertical member 23 of the gate is a hanger 38, the hanger being formed with an intermediate offset to enable it to pass the lower portion of the strap let when the gate is in closed position, as shown in Fig. 1.
A. suitable latch device is employed between the free end of the gate and the post 11 and consists of a hook 39 mounted to swing at lf) upon the strap 2?, and works through a perforation in a plate -11 connected to the post 11, so that the gate may be locked in closed position.
The gate and its suspension devices may be constructed of any suitable material either wholly of metal or partly of metal and partly of wood, but the bar 14:, the straps 2728 and 35*36, the rail 21, and the bars 31--32 will preferably be of metal of suitable strength. The rail 21 and the guide bars 81-32 will also preferably be tubular in transverse section, to combine strength with lightness.
The straps 27-28, as before stated are rigidly coupled to the gate at one end by the bolts 26, while the bracket 38 is like wise rigidly coupled to the gate at the opposite end. The rigid members 27-;8 thus form correspondingly rigid supports for the guide members 81-32, while the bracket 38 rigidly supports the lower bar 32. The bars being otherwise coupled by the straps 35 produce a light rigid frame to support the gate and by this means the strains are dis tributed over both of the guide bars and the straps 3536 supported from movement so that the gate is properly guided upon the guide rail 21. The upper bar 31 thus serves as a brace and support and coacts with the lower bar to prevent the sagging ot the gate. By this means the bars can be constructed of relatively light material as the strains are distributed over both bars bet'ore stated.
The improved device is simple in con struction, may be employed in connection with various hints of fences and arranged to operate over openings of any width.
The improved gate structure is applicable to ordinary narrow gates for admitting the passage of persons only, or of the widest farm gates or roadway gates.
l Vhat is claimed is In a gate, a plurality of posts spaced apart from each other, two of said posts being located on opposite sides of a gateway, the in termediate post being extended above the normal fence line, a bracket mounted on the upper end of the intermediate post, rollers mounted between said bracketand the up per end of said intermediate post at er tically spaced points, a gate adapted to occupy a position when closed between the posts on opposite sides of the gateway, a vertical support on one end of sair gate, a tubular rod secured at one end to said vertical support and movable between the lower set of the rollers carried by the intermediate post, said vertical support being extended above said tubular rod, a tubular rod mounted at one end on said vertical support and movable between the upper set of rollers carried by said intermediate post, bars conneotin the rcn'iaining ends of the tubular bars, rollers journaled between the bars last named, an t..-shaped bracket connecting the lower tubular bar and one end of the gate, a tubular rod secured at one end to the intermediate post and disposed in a plane intermed-rte of the planes of the upper and lower tubular bars and extending away froi'n said tubular bars and secured to one of the posts di tantly of the intermediate post.
in testimony whereof, I atlix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
