Specification of Letters Patent. p Patented' Dec. 20, 1910.
Application filed February 8, 1909. Serial No. 476.806.
To all whom if may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN Niniisnx, a
citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Chicago, county of Cook. and State of Illinois,y have invented a ceitain new and useful Improvement in Elevator-Gates, of' h n n 1 weight 18, which-is limited by stop 19, or
vwhich the following is a specification.
This invention relates to automatically closing elevator gates. Its principal objects f are. to produce at slight expense a durablel and reliable device `occupying' but small space, and applicable chiefly to factory and freight elevators, by means of which quick and convenient ingress and egress` to and from such elevators and easy access to the controlling cable. is provided without the necessity of opening the gate to its full extent, and by means of which the gate when fully opened will be held open as long as the elevator is in position for the landing in question, yet the gate is automatically closed as soon as the elevator leaves such position. l attain these objects by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- Figure 1. is an elevation of my improved gate, as attached to the shaft-side of the wall or partition surroundino` the elevator, said gate being shown from tie side fronting the elevator-in wide open position. Fig. 2. is an elevation of my improved gate, as attached to the Hoor-side of the vWall or partition surrounding the elevator, said gate being shown from the side of the floor (looking toward the elevator) 'in closed position. Fig. 3. is a detail elevation of the automatic locking and releasing device lused in connection with my improved gate as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4. is a detail elevation of theA automatic locking and releasing device used in connection with my improved gate as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5. is a cross section at plane *7, viewed from above, of the device shown in Fig. 4. I
Referring to the drawings, partition 8, between an elevator shaft and adjoining floors or landings, is provided, near the upper edge 9, of opening 10, connecting one of said floors or landings with said shaft, with roller track i 11 which may be attached either to the elevator side of said partition, as in Fig. 1.) or to the door side of said partition (as inA Fig. 2.) From this roller track is suspended, by means of rollers 37, running on said track, bai` 12, provided above said rollers with eX-l tension 13, and at appropriate height above the floor with. lock 14, adapted to engage catch 15 whichis fastened to partition 8 on the same side as rollertrack 11. To bar 12 are fastened. likewise at appropriate height above the door, guard-cables 16, (or iii lieu thereof ropes or chains) running over rollers 17 and attached with their other ends to other appropriate means, from traveling higher than necessary to permit lock 14 to engage catch 15, the purpose of this limitation being to keep cables 16 from yielding to pressure when stretched across opening 10 by means of bar 12 being brought 'to the locked position shown in Fig. 2. To bar 12 is also fastened, preferably somewhat below roller track 11, cable 20, running over roller 21, and having fastened to its other end weight 22 which is sutliciertly heavy to pullbar 12 into the locked position shown in Fig.
1 (against the pull of weight 18 and cables 16) whenever bar 12 is permitted to yield to the pull of weight 22.

l am aware that automatic closing gaies for freight and factory elevators are not new; but all such gates of which l1l Ve knowledge have an up and down motion, and require to be fully or almost fully, opened to admit even a single person, or to give convenient access to the controlling cable. l
