SWINGING GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 494,449, dated March 28, 1893.
Application led November 22,1892. Serial No. 452,801. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. TAYLOR, of Jacksonville, in the county of Morgan and State of Illinois, have invented certain new 'and useful Improvements in Swinging Gates;
and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in swinging gates; and it consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully described hereinafter, and more particularly referred to in the claims hereto annexed.
The object of my invention is to construct an improved swinging gate which may be conveniently operated at a distance therefroln by a depending pull cord, and which is so constructed that by the action of a spring arm carried by the gate and loosely connected to the post, the gate will be automatically thrown open when swung to a certain point and when swung in the opposite direction it will be automatically closed after passing the said point by the action of the said spring arm.
Referring to the accompanying drawings,- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved gate. Fig. 2 is a plan View. Fig. 3 is an end view. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the top rear portion of the gate showing its position when half open.
A, designates a post upon which a gate B, of ordinary construction is swung to open in one direction only. The said gate maybe of any preferred construction.
O, represents the gate post against which the free end of the gate swings when closed. Situated to the rear of the post A, but to one side thereof, is the post D from the upper end of which depends a pulley E, around which passes an operating line F, which may extend to any convenient position along the road which the gate closes.
Secured to the top edge of the upper rail of the gate and toward its rear end is the flat spring G, its free end extending toward the postA,and secured to this free end is the arm H, which extends outward over the said post I, designates a link which is loosely connected to the outer end of the arm and which at its opposite end is loosely secured to a staple J, on the post A, the said staple being on one side of and below the arm H. This link extends in a direct/line from the said arm to the point where it is connected to the post A, so that when the outer end of the arm H, is raised by a pull upon the line F, the link I, in order to accommodate itself to the said rise will pull the said arm H, to one side and over the staple J, the latter in this described operation acting as a fulcrum point for the said link. Now the normal position of the spring arm H, is horizontal so that when raised it is constantly exerting itself to regain that position. This being the case after it has swung around in its opening movement over the point J it will in automatically depressing itself be pushed farther away from the said point by the link I, thus opening wide the gate as shown in Fig. 2. When the gate is to be closed the end of the arm H, is again drawn upward by the cord F, until broughtover the point J, by the link I, as above described when its downward pressure will cause the said link to push it around into a position which closes the gate. In order thatall the strain of turning the gate shall not be on the end of the spring secured thereto, guides K,are projected verticallyfrom the rear end of the gate against which the arm H, pulls in turning the same.
For locking the gate to the post O, a longitudinally movable latch L, is provided which at its outer end engages the said post when the former is projected outward and at its inner end is connected to the lower end of the depending bar M, which at its upper end is loosely secured to the arm H. This bar isinclined and provided with a longitudinal slot N, through which a pin O, projects from the top rail of the gate as shown in Fig. 1. When the arm H, is raised for swinging the gate, the bar M, is also pulled upward, and as its slot traverses the pin O, it is'swung slightly backward withdrawing the latch from the post D, thus releasing the gate. When the arm H, re-
IOO
sumes its horizontal position the latch is again extended by the lowering of the bar M. Thus an automatically operated latch is provided. One pull upon the cord F, releases the latch and swings the gate either open or closed as desired.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is*- 1. In a gate, the combination of a post, a gate hinged thereto, a rearwardly extending vertically movable spring arm secured to the gate, and a link loosely secured at one end to the post and at its opposite end to the said arm, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a gate, the combination of a post, a gate hinged thereto, a fiat spring secured at one end to the gate, a rearwardly extending arm secured to the free end of the spring,and a link loosely secured at one end to the post and at its opposite end to the arm, substantially as shown and described.
3. In a gate, the combination of a post, a gate hinged to one side of the same, a rearwardly extending vertically movable spring arm secured to the top of the gate, a link loosely secured to the side of the post opposite the hinges, and at its opposite end to the arm, and an operating line, substantially as shown and described.
4f. ln a gate, the combination of a post, a gate hinged thereto, a rearwardly extending vertically movable spring arm Secured thereto, guides projecting from the gate between which the said arm moves vertically, a link secured at one end to the post and at its opposite end to the arm, and an operatingline, substantially as shown and described.
5. In a gate, the combination of a post, a gate hinged thereto, post C, a longitudinally movable latch which at its outer end engages the said post C, an upwardly extending bar loosely secured to the latch having a longitudinal slot formed therein a pin projecting from the gate through said slot of the bar, a vertically movable arm carried by the gato which is loosely connected to the upper end ot' the said bar, and an operating line for raising the said arin vertically, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I ailx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
