Description
hailed tude CHARLES S. ONNEY, 0F SY'RGUSE, NEW YORK.
Letters PatentNo. 99,822, dated February 15, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN GATES.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters-Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may conce/rn Be it known that I, CHARLES S. BONNEY, of Syracuse, in the State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gates; and I do hereby declare that'the following is a full,.clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the -annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in whichv Figure 1 is a side elevation of the gate;
Figure 2 is a top view of the lower hinge;
Figure 3, a view of the upper hinge; and
Figure 4, a view of the catch.
The letters of reference refer to the same parts in each figure.
The nature of my invention consists in making the hinges ot'a gate so that the gate will shut by its own weight, and constructing the lower hinge `so that when ,once put together theycannot be separated by the action of the gate, and allow the gate to beraised or lowered at pleasure. The upper vhinge is made v also to allow the gate to be raised or lowered; also the catch will allow the gate to be raised orV lowered and catch equally well, land the catch will be sure to hold the gate when it swings to the place of shutting.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceedto describe its mode of construction and operation.
A is the gate. The stile that holds the hinges must V. be made thick enough to have sufficient surface for the. hingesto be fastened to, and of such lmaterial as will hold screws or bolts well. be made so that it will hold.` a latch, and allowit to project' far enough through to enter the'catch, to hold the gate. shut. The gate and gate postmust be made to allow the gate to be raised or lowered at will, oth-` erwise the gate may be made as desired;
Bis thc lower hinge. It is made in two parts, as represented in ligs. 1 and 2; one part is `fastened to `the gate and the other to the post. -The part that is fastened to the gatehas two holes through it vertically, to receive the bars of the other part ofthe hinge, as shown in tig. 2. The holes will receive the bars from the under side, and when the hinge is turned on either bar, it cannot bev separated s'o that all danger of breaking by'separating the hinge is avoided. The part that is faste-ned to the post is made of two parallelbars, of any required length. They are united, so that they may be thstened to the post with screws or bolts. The sizeof the bars must correspond with the holes in the other part and allow themv to pass in andV out of the holes when the gate is swung. Their length may be The other stile must varied, -to allow the gate to be raised or lowered any` required distance.
Gis the upper hinge. It is madelof three parts; one part is attached tothe stile ot' the gate; the pivot n partis fastened to the. post and the eye that'holds lthein together; the part that is fastened to the gate has a inortise through nearly' the whole length, for the eye to slide up and down, and at the lower end of the mortise is a hole for Jthe cross or T ot'- the eye to pass through, as represented in fig. 3. `The outer surface is raised, so that there is a sufficient chamber for the T to slide iup and down in; land the surface has a series of notches each side of the nioitise, so that it will hold the eye in either ofthem to hold the gate the propel' height; and hy means of the construction of these parts, the gate may be raised or loweredat will. The part that is fastened to the post may be made iu any convenient manner that will hold the eye and prevent it raising when the gate is being raised.
D is the eye. It is made with a hole to lit the part lattached tothe post, and allow the gate to swing freely. It has a shoulder to fit the notches and a neck that passes through the mortise, and-aT-part to hold it to the part of the upper hinge ou the gate.
E is a hole below the mortise, for the T to -be pnt through.
F is the catch. with screws. made with a mortise through it to receive the latcln It is important that this should he as long as the hinges, so that it will hold the gate shut at any point to which it may be adjusted. The outer surface is madenngular by being raised or made thicker at the mortise, so as to actuate the latch. One side is raised more 0r made thicker than the other, to cause the latch to enter the mortise without the gatevjpassing by its stopping place in going one direction, and when going the other direction, it will pass but once; and when returning, the latch will be sure to be caught,
Having thus fully described my invention,
What I claiinvas new, and desire to secure hy LettersPatent, is-
The hingesB and C when constructed substantially as specified, and the catch F, when all the parts `are arranged and used as and for the purpose set forth.
