Comments: N/A

Description:
Having thus described my invention what I claim is:-

1. In combination with spaced gate posts, a flexible gate constructed of chains and anchored along its lower edge between said posts, and means securing opposite ends of the gate to the said posts to releasably maintain the gate stretched across the gateway.

2. An arrangement according to claim 1 in which the gate is permanently connected to one of the posts and releasably connected to the remaining post, so that when released the gate will collapse to the ground between the posts in order to permit passage of traffic thereover.

3. A flexible gate anchored at its lower edge and at one end and means engagable with the other end of the gate for maintaining same stretched across a gate way, said gate when released being collapsible in the gateway to permit passage of traffic therethrough.

4. The combination with spaced gate posts of a gate comprising vertical and horizontal strands of flexible material connected at the points of intersection, means connecting one end of the horizontal strands to one of the gate posts, means anchoring the lower ends of the vertical strands to the ground, and a detachable connection between the free end of the gate and the remaining post.

5. A gate composed of vertical and horizontal lengths of chain material connected at the points of intersection and diagonal lengths of the same material inter-connecting the vertical and horizontal lengths at one end of the gate, and serving to provide for even tensioning throughout the entire gate when the latter is releasably secured between the gate posts under tension.

6.- A collapsible chain gate comprising vertical and horizontal lengths of chain material, and a brace of chain material arranged at one end of said horizontal lengths to effect an even distribution or transmission of strain to all parts of the gate when the latter is stretched between gate posts.

7.- A collapsible chain gate comprising vertical and horizontal members or chain material connected at their points of intersection, a brace of chain material secured to one end of the horizontal members, and means at one end of the brace to effect an equal distribution or strain to all parts or the gate when the latter is stretched between gate posts.

8.- A collapsible chain gate comprising vertical and horizontal lengths of chain material connected at the points of intersection and strain distributing means interconnecting the vertical and horizontal lengths at one end of the gate and serving to provide for even transmission of strain throughout the entire gate when the latter is releasably secured to gate posts under tension.

9.- The combination with a pair of gate posts of a flexible and collapsible gate adapted to extend therebetween, means anchoring one end of the gate at a plurality of points to one of said posts, means permanently anchoring the remaining end of the gate to the other post at or near the lower edge of the gate, a ring carried by the last mentioned end of the gate at the upper corner thereof, and gate supporting and tensioning means carried by the last mentioned posts for engagement with said ring.

10.- The combination with a pair of uprights of a flexible gate anchored along one end to one of said uprights and along the lower edge to the ground between said uprights and adjustable gate supporting and tensioning means carried by the remaining upright for engagement with the free end of the gate

11.- The combination with a pair of uprights of a flexible and collapsible gate adapted to be stretched there-between, means anchoring the lower edge of the gate to the ground between said uprights, additional means permanently anchoring one end of the gate to one of said uprights, a ring carried by the free end of the gate, a pivoted lever carried by the remaining upright having a hooked extremity adapted to be inserted through said ring and means for holding said lever in various adjusted positions to tension the gate as required.

12. The combination with a pair of gate posts of a flexible and collapsible gate composed of vertical and horizontal lengths of chain material connected at the points of intersection, a plurality of anchor bolts embedded in the ground to which the vertical lengths of the gate are connected at their lower ends, additional anchor bolts carried by one of said posts to which the horizontal lengths of the gate are connected at one end, a single anchor bolt carried by the remaining post at or near the ground level, a plurality of chains connected between said bolt and the remaining ends of the said horizontal lengths of the gate, and gate supporting and tensioning means carried by the last mentioned post for engaging and supporting the upper portion of the adjacent end of the gate.

13. The combination with spaced gate posts of a gate comprising vertical and horizontal strands of flexible material connected at the points of intersection, means anchoring one end of the horizontal strands to one of the gate posts, means anchoring the lower ends of the vertical strands to the ground between the gate posts, a ring carried by the free end of the gate at the upper corner thereof, a lever pivoted to the upper portion of the remaining gate post provided with a hooked terminal adapted to be inserted through said rim, a curved rack carried by the said post in proximity to the lever and a pawl carried by the lever for engaging said rack to hold the hooked terminal of the lever in different adjusted positions to effect the desired tensioning of the gate.
