Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automatic or manual or an automatic/manual opening gate, door, window or the like.
  • the present invention is a gate, door or the like characterised by one fixed position hinge and a second hinge which is movable to incline the hinge axis of the gate or door to bias the gate or door to swing on its hinge axis to an open and/or closed position.
  • the said second hinge is movable between a first position in which the weight of the gate biases the gate to move to an open position and a second position in which the weight of the gate biases the gate to move to a closed position.
  • the second hinge may be positioned below said fixed hinge position.
  • the two positions of the second hinge are located in an imaginary line at 45 0 to the planes of the gate in its closed and open position, assuming a 90° opening.
  • the second hinge may be moved from one position to another by a variety of means.
  • the latch of the gate is automatically disengaged as the second hinge is moved to its opening biased position.
  • a mechanism may be provided which, when actuated, moves the hinge to its opening biased position as well as releasing the catch or other fastening means.
  • the gate or the like can also be openable or closable manually since the gate is freely rotatable on its hinges, thus avoiding the problem usually associated with automatically opening gates that can only be operated by the automatic means.
  • automatic means involve coded signals, such as electrical or radio impulses, it is impossible for anyone other than the bearer of the coded signals to open the gate.
  • the means to move the second hinge may be electrical, the current being supplied by a battery which is chargeable by solar energy. Such battery may be included in the post carrying the hinges.
  • the hinges may both have stop members and may be connected with a torsion bar to arrest too violent an opening or closing movement.
  • the second hinge may be located on a pendulum arrangement the two positions thereof being dictated by the extremes of its swing.
  • the pendulum may have a slot acted on by an eccentric member driven by a motor which derives its power from the current supplied by a battery as discussed above.
  • the second hinge is located in its opening or closing biased position when the gate is in its closed position. This will depend on the mechanism chosen to move the hinge from one position to the other.
  • a gate post 10 of rectangular section houses a hinged member 12 pivoting about hinge point 14.
  • top gate hinge 16 and the lower gate hinge 18 Attached to the hinged member 12 are the top gate hinge 16 and the lower gate hinge 18 which protrude from the gate post through two slots 20 and 22 respectively. As can be seen from Figure 2 the top gate hinge 16 protrudes further than the lower gate hinge 18.
  • the centre of gravity of the gate 24 may be biased to either open or close the gate by moving the hinged member as indicated by the arrows. Movement of the member 12 to the right (or away from the viewer) inclines the hinge axis and causes the gate 24 to be biased to swing clockwise as seen from above (or towards the viewer).
  • Figure 4 shows a plan view of the gate assembly and how the gate post 10 is preferably mounted relative to the open and closed positions of the gate. It can be seen the two positions of the lower hinge are located in an imaginary line at 45° to the planes of the gate in its open and closed positions, a 90° opening being assumed.
  • a torsion bar 26 as shown in Figure 3 may connect the two hinges whereby tension may be applied to dampen the gate movement if required.
  • the present invention may be applied to double gates such as drive- way gates.
  • double gates such as drive- way gates.
  • the motor actuator 28 operates a push rod and lever mechanism 30 which alters the bias on the hinges to open the gate.
  • the lower hinges move through an arc when the mechanism 30 is actuated and this has the effect of initially lifting the two gates clear of a spring catch 32 which automatically engages the gates in the closed position.
  • actuation of the mechanism 30 causes a similar initial lifting of the gates which may be similarly used to unlatch the gates from latches which engage them in the open position.
  • the gates may be unlatched by the mechanism 30 triggering the catch at the same time as it moves the lower hinges.
  • top hinge may be the movable hinge instead of the bottom one or indeed both hinges may be made movable.
  • the actuator used may be responsive to any suitable form of remote actuation and may be a rotary actuator acting directly on the movable hinge rather than a linear actuator, as described, acting on the hinge through a linkage.
  • the bearings themselves are desirably self-aligning and, at least in the case of the fixed hinge also thrust bearings.
