Bidirectional Spring-Biased Gate

摘要

A bidirectional, spring-biased gate. The present invention comprises a pair of side frames, an elongated hinge extending therebetween, and a gate extending vertically from said hinge. In its resting position, the gate extends vertically across the open interior between the first and second side frames, providing a movable barrier suitable for deterring and/or blocking animals from passing therethrough. The hinge provides a 180-degree range of motion for the gate, thereby allowing the gate to transition between its resting upstanding position, a first lowered position perpendicular to the resting position, and a second lowered position perpendicular to the resting position in the opposite direction of the first lowered position. The present invention further comprises a plurality of springs extending between the side frames and the gate, which are adapted to return the gate to its upstanding resting position from either the first lowered position or the second lowered position.

主权项

1) A gate, comprising:
a first side frame; a second side frame; a hinge extending therebetween; a gate extending vertically from said hinge, said gate adapted to pivot between an upstanding position, a first lowered position perpendicular to said upstanding position, and a second lowered position perpendicular to said upstanding position in an opposite direction of said first lowered position; a plurality of springs extending between said gate and said first and second side frames; wherein said plurality of springs are biased to return said gate to said upstanding position from either of said first lowered position or said second lowered position.
