ALFRED CLARK, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.

COLLAPSIBLE GATE.

SPECIFICATION forming- part of Letters Patent No. 786,951, dated April 11, 1905.

Application filed March 16,1904. Serial No. 198,490.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1 , Alfred Clark, a sub¬
ject of the King- of Great Britain and Ireland,
residing at 33 Ryde Yale road, Balham, Lon-
5 don, S. W., England, have invented certain
new and useful Improvements in and Relating
to Collapsible Gates and the Like, (for which
I have made application for Letters Patent in
Great Britain, No. 28 , 146 , bearing date De-
io cember 22 , 1903 ,) of which the following is a
specification.

My invention relates to folding or collap¬
sible gates, shutters, window-guards, and the
like, and has for its object to provide for the
15 more complete filling up of the spaces in the lat¬
tice-work which form when the gate or the
like is extended, while not substantially in¬
creasing the width of the structure when col¬
lapsed.

20 My invention consists in constructing a col¬
lapsible gate or the like from lazy-tongs links
having rigid extensions which overlap, so that
the apices of every adjacent set lie within one
another, and intermediate upright bars or pick-
25 ets which have a traverse during the exten¬
sion and collapsing of the structure at right
angles to the direction in which the structure
extends, so that the spaces which exist when
the gate is opened can be reduced.

30 Referring now to the accompanying draw¬
ings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a collap¬
sible gate constructed according to my inven¬
tion, the gate being shown extended. Fig. 2
is a sectional plan of the same on the line A A
35 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the
gate. Fig. 4 is a front elevation showing the
gate collapsed. Figs. 5 and 6 are enlarged
sectional elevation and plan of the vertical
bars and rails hereinafter referred to. Figs.
4 ° 7 and 8 are part sectional front and edge ele¬
vations of the interlaced corners of the de¬
vice. Figs. 9 and 10 are part sectional front
and side elevations of the end of the overlap¬
ping extensions guided in the outside bars.
45 Fig. 11 is a front elevation of a modified form
of the invention.

In carrying out the invention according to
one construction as applied to a collapsible
lattice-gate I construct the lattice-work of the

gate of lazy-tongs (see Figs. 1 to 10) formed 50
from overlapping flat bars 5 , interlaced so as
to inclose practically equal parallellogram
spaces a and g. The bars b are pivoted at
their centers d to the vertical pickets e and
at the points s midway in their upper halves 55
to the vertical grooved or channeled bars k,
which are capable of being traversed hori¬
zontally and vertically to accommodate for
the curved path of the pin s about the point

d. At a point 0 midway in their lower halves 60
the bars are provided with pins, which slide
freely in the grooves of the channeled bars k.
The extremities of the bars b move freely in
the grooves of the vertical channeled pickets

e, (except those bars b which meet the end 65
pickets f and are thereby shortened to one-
half the length of the other bars b.) The pick¬
ets <?are provided with rollers £ at their lower
ends. These rollers run on rails q , as shown

in Figs. 5 and 6, and thus the longitudinal 70
motion of the gate during expanding and col¬
lapsing is facilitated. The upper ends of the
pickets e may be guided by a similar rail q,
interposed between the channels and without
the assistance of a roller. 75

In Figs. 5 and 6 the construction of the ver¬
tical channeled bars is shown. The channels
are placed with their grooves facing each
other and are secured together by rivets and
spacing-pieces, as will be readily understood. 80
A detail of the form of connection employed
at the extremities of the bars is shown in
Figs. 7 and 8. The letter c represents the
extensions of the lazy-tongs links—that is to
say, the parts of the bars b lying outside the 85
points o and s. It will be seen that the bars
b between the points s and o form the links of
an ordinary lazy-tongs, while the parts dying
outside the points s and 0 are really exten¬
sions. The extensions c of two pairs of oppo- 90
sitely-converging bars are jointed, so that in
the expanded position the joint of one pair of
converging extensions lies nested within the
apex of the oppositely-converging pair, as
shown in Fig. 7 . When the gate is collapsed, 95
these joints move away from each other and
are guided in this motion by the pins h work¬
ing in the grooves p .

'

■

786,951

2

A detail of the sliding end connections in
the bars f is shown in Figs. 9 and 10 . It will
be seen that the construction is similar to that
illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8, with the exception
5 that there are not two pairs of oppositely-
converging sides, but only one of the mem¬
bers of each pair.

In the construction described it will be seen
that the bars b cross three vertical bars and
io have their ends touching two others. This
construction may be modified, however, with¬
out departing from my invention. For in¬
stance, as shown in Fig. 11 , I may arrange
each complete bar of the lazy-tongs with its
15 extensions to cross five bars—?', e., three bars
e and two bars k —and to have its ends touch¬
ing and guided in two other bars k the ar¬
rangement of the lattice-work being similar
to that hereinbefore described. In this case,
20 however, the extensions of the bars b are made
twice the length of those in the first-described
form. Extra sets of parallelograms x x are in¬
closed by the extensions, and the overlapping
ends of the extensions which form the inter-
25 lacing corners are guided in the bars h instead
of the bars <?, as in the first-described form.
The general structure of the gate is, however,
the same, and the areas of the parallelograms
are practically equal to one another. In all
30 cases the upright bars may be made of chan¬
nels within which the guide-pins travel, or
they may be made flat and be provided with
slots, or any suitable combination of flat and
channel bars may be used.

35 A peculiar feature of my new construction
of gates is that the lattice-work of the gate is
always completely interlaced—that is, the
spaces or parallelograms inclosed by the va¬
rious lazy-tong bars and extensions, except
4 ° at the edge of the gate, are of substantially
the same size as each other.

The same construction as above described
may be applied to shutters, window-guards,

and the like, as will be readily understood
without further description and illustration. 45

Having now described my invention, what
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters
Patent, is —

1. A lazy-tongs structure for a collapsible
gate or the like, comprising pickets arranged 50
at right-angles to the direction of collapse of
the gate, a lattice-work of lazy-tongs, bars and
extensions, the ends of the extensions over¬
lapping and forming corners, which interlace
and in the expanded position of the gate are 55
nested within the adjacent corners of the cor¬
responding extensions, substantially as de¬
scribed.

2. A lazy-tongs structure for a collapsible
gate or the like, comprising a lattice-work of 60
lazy-tongs, bars and extensions forming par¬
allelogram spaces of substantially the same
size, the extensions having overlapping ends
forming corners which interlace and in the
expanded position of the gate are nested with- 65
in corresponding corners of the adjacent ex¬
tensions, and parallel bars to which the lower
tongs are pivoted, substantially as described.

3 . A lazy-tongs structure for a collapsible

gate or the like, comprising vertical pickets, 70
a lattice-work of lazy-tongs, extensions piv¬
oted to the vertical pickets throughout the
entire length of the same, the ends of the ex¬
tensions being overlapped and forming cor¬
ners, which interlace and in the expanded po- 75
sition of the gate are nested within corre¬
sponding corners of the adjacent extensions,
and parallel bars interposed between the
pickets and being shorter than the same, sub¬
stantially as described. 80

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand in presence of two witnesses.

ALFRED CLARK.
