HENRY HAHN AND ANDERSON L. GASTON, OF GAINESVILLE, TEXAS.
IMPROVEMENT IN RA'I LROAD-GATES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 21 5,350, dated May 13, 1879; application filed July 18, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, HENRY HAHN and ANDERSON L. GASTON, of Gainesville, in the county of Cooke and State of Texas, have invented a new and Improved Railroad-Fence Gate, of which the following is a specification.
In the accompanyingdrawin gs, Figure 1 represents a vertical transverse section of our improved railroad-fence gate, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to an improved railroad-gate that is intended to fill up the gaps where the fences of farms cross the railroadtracks, so that the cattle cannot escape.
The gate is lowered by the passing trains from either side, and raised again as soon as the train has passed over it.
The invention consists of a swinging gate that is supported by a bottom roller in bearings below the rails, and connected to the rails by strong spiral springs, which are arranged in opposite direction to each other,so as to raise the gate and retain it in upright position after the passage of a train in either direction over the gate.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a railroad-fence gate, made in the usual manner of a bottom roller, a, that turns in hearings or blocks 1) below the rails of the track, and of strongparallel rods orbarsdof suitable length,
that are secured to the roller and extended at right angles therefrom.
The bottom roller of the gate A is connected A train coming in either direction turns down the gate, which is instantly raised again from its lowered position by one of the springs when the train has passed over the same. The gate resumes thus automatically its proper position, and forms, owing to its simple yet reliable construction, a cheap and efl'ective fence-gate for the crossing of farm-fences over railroad-tracks.
Iam aware that a gate on a rock-shaft between the rails has been operated by balanceweights arranged in cases; but
What I claim as new and of my invention 1s- The combination, with a vertical swinging gate having a roller-shaft turning in bearings below the track, of spiral springs arranged on the roller, drawing in opposite directions to each other, and attached to. roller and track, so as to operate substantially as and for the purpose specified.
