ANDERSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
M ETA'L GATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 100,737, dated May 27, 1902.
Application filed February 1Z,1902. Serial No. 93,737. woman.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAMB. OANTRELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Gates, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The objects of my invention are to produce a gate which will be of light and durable construction, which will be rigid and not swag, which will properly hang on any incline without requiring the ground to be leveled, which can always be opened and swing in either direction in passing through and the front or outer end raised to any desired angle in order to pass over high ground or other obstructions, which will be locked by a gravity-latch to prevent animals from lifting one end and opening it, but will always be ready for manipulation of said gravity-latch.
My invention consists in certain novel features of construction whereby the above objects may be attained, as shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents in perspective a gate constructed and supported and also looked in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the spreading-strut on a larger scale. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the gravity latch or look of the device.
In said drawings, A and B represent the two gate-posts.
The inner end stileof the gate is shown at 1, and the outer stile at 2. vSaid stiles consist of longitudinally-ribbed metal bars, preferably T-shaped in cross-section to add to their strength and rigidity, and they are connected by the wires 3, which consist of one or more strands. One end of each wire is bent inwardly and twisted around the body of the wire to constitute a loop 4:, which loop is placed in engagement with the hooked end or. eye of abolt 5, which passes through the inner stile 1 of the gate and is there adj ustably secured by means of a nut 6. The outer end of each wire is passed through a horizontal perforation 7 in the rib of the outer stile 2, and its end is to be bent back and twisted around the body of the wire.
About half-way of the length of the stiles 1 and 2 there is secured thereto a metal rail or strut 8, preferably also of T-iron. The inner end ofsaid strut is split lengthwise to constitute two branches 9, which are bent to diverge in nearly opposite directions, one of the branches being extended upward and the other downward. These act as braces for the stiles and for the whole gate, the stile 1 bearing against the inner edges of the branches 9 and against the end of the pendent rib of the strut 8. The outer end of said strut is connected to the longitudinal rib of the outer stile 2 by means of a'rivet 10.
The upper and lower ends of the inner stile 1 are horizontally bent at 11 and 12 as brackets to receive the hinge pintles 13. The bracket 11 has a cylindrical perforation to receive the hingepintle 13; but the lower bracket 12 has a slot formed therein to give free play to the lower hinge-pintle 13 and permit the outer end of the gate to be lifted when it is desired toopen it. The upper end of the outer stile 2 is horizontally bent outwardly at 14:, and said portion has a slot 15 to receive the upwardly-turned end of a screwbolt 16, passing through the post B. The metal of the bent end of the stile beyond the slot 15, resting upon the body of the bolt 16, supports the gate at its upper corner. The lower end of the stile 2 is also horizontally bent at 17 and is either slotted or forked, as shown, to bear against the body of a bent screw-bolt 18, passing also through the post B, and thus the gate is secured to the posts at its four corners.
To secure the gate to the posts or post so that it cannot be accidentally lifted from its fastening, there is pivotally secured to one of the posts a gravity-latch L by means of a screw passing therethrough, said latch having a horizontal arm Z extended over the laterally-bent portion 1a of the upper end of the stile. When it is desired to open the gate, the lower portion of the latch is easily swung sidewise by the operator before lifting and swinging the gate. A similar gravity-latch may be suspended from the post A and made to project over the bent portion 11 of the inner stile, as shown by dotted lines at L ,and prevent the gate from being lifted off the pintle 13.
Having'now fully described my invention, I claim-- 1. A gate comprising the ribbed metal'stiles, each stile having its upper and lower ends bent horizontally and laterally away from the body of the gate and constituting retainers for pintle-like supports, a series of tensionwires uniting the stiles, and a ribbed metal strut having one end forked. into upwardly and downwardly bent branches, substantially as described.
2. In a gate the combination of two ribbed metal stiles, each stile having its upper and lower ends bent laterally and verticallyperforated, a series of tension-wires uniting said stiles anda ribbed metal strut having one end forked into upwardly and downwardly bent branches secured to one of the stiles, substantially'as described.
3. In a gate, the combination of two ribbed metal stiles, each stile having its upper and lower ends bent laterally and. Vertically perforated, a series of tension-wires uniting said stiles and a ribbed metal strut secured to said stiles, with gate-supporting posts and a gravity-latch pivoted to one of said posts and having itslower end over the lateral extension of the stile, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
