GATE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,160, dated April 20, 1886.

Application filed November 3. 1884. Serial No. 147,129. (Modem To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL SLAUSON, of Monticello, in the county of Jones and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful 1111-- provementin Gates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to gates which are constructed either to slide or swing; and it consists of novel means for rendering such gates strong with a small number of operating parts.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention and form a part of the present specification.

Figures 1 and 2 are, respectively, rear and front elevations of my improved gate; and Fig. 3 is a detail view.

V is the front, and NY the rear, gate-post. To the latter is hinged a triangular frame, A B G, the hinges D and S thereof being applied to the upright part B of the frame. In the outer end of the horizontal part 0 is pivoted a roller, H, and within the hinge D is pivoted a second roller, H. The upper rail ofthe gate rests on these rollers, and is adapted to slide thereon. According as it is more convenient, the gate can be moved along the rollers H H or swung with the frame A B C on the hinges D and S.

One part of the hinge D is shown in detail in Fig. 3. It has a plate, d, adapted to be screwed to the upright B; a perforated flange or lug, d adapted to fit on a pintle, b, in i the gate-post W, and a lug, b, which serves as a bearing for the pivot of the roller H. The other bearing for the said pivot is in a lug on the other half D, of the upper hinge. It will thus be seen that the parts D D serve both as a hinge for the swinging frame and a support for one of the rollers on which the gate slides.

I am aware that a gate hung upon a triangular frame and capable of swinging therewith or sliding thereon is not broadly new, and I do not therefore claim such a construction. I

What I claim is- 1. A gate-hanger comprising plates D D, plate D having an inwardly-projecting flange, a and both plates having projecting lugs b, and a roller journaled between the lugs-b, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with agate and a gatepost provided with pintles, of a triangular lrame carrying a journaled roller at its forward end, the plates D D, secured to the said frame, plate D having'a flange, a provided with an opening corresponding to one of the gate-post pintles, the lugs b, projecting from the plates D D, a roller journaled between the said lugs, and the plate S, secured to the lower part of the said frame and provided with an opening corresponding to another of the gate-post pintles, substantially as set forth.

I DANIEL SLAUSON. Witnesses:

JAMES R. STILLMAN, JOHN M. EBERHART.
