| 20080237561 | HINGELESS FENCE - A hingeless fence assembly is described as having a free-standing post and a tubular member. The free-standing post extends upwardly from a hole in the ground and is positioned within the ground to a depth sufficient to provide the necessary stability. The tubular member is rotatably received over the free-standing post and has a greater diameter than the free-standing post. The tubular member is free to rotate about the free-standing post. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080265233 | Two-action gate requiring two steps to open - To open the two-action gate, a sliding of a latch and a lifting to disengage a double stop is required. Performing one step without the other fails to open the gate. The gate is engaged in a frame which may in turn be engaged in a partition or “inside the home” fence or other barrier. Via a thumb tab with the rest of the hand holding onto the top tube of the gate, a portion of the latch can be slid out of the frame. Then the hand may lift up the gate to lift a double stop up and clear of a lower portion of the frame such that the gate is swingable. Once the double stop is clear of the lower portion of the frame and the gate has been swung several degrees, the gate may be lowered and then swung at will. The two steps of sliding and lifting minimize the chance that children can open the gate. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20130175489 | ADJUSTABLE GATE HAVING OPPOSITE ANTI-WARPING SYSTEMS, OPPOSITE PERSONAL-INJURY-ELIMINATING SYSTEMS, OPPOSITE SCREW-CENTERING SYSTEMS, OPPOSITE S-HOOK-INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS, AND OPPOSITE TURNBUCKLE-INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS - An adjustable gate comprises two u-shaped vertical bars having first anti-warping gutters, tension hooks; two horizontal bars having second anti-warping gutters; a chain-link mesh; two tension rods; and a truss having paddle-nuts. The first anti-warping gutters are inserted into the second anti-warping gutters to join the bars together and to prevent the gate from warping in all horizontal directions. The tension hooks are welded along the body of the vertical bars to eliminate tie wires to prevent personal injury. The tension rods are inserted along the vertical edges of the chain-link mesh and hooked on the tension hooks. The truss hooks on the vertical bars and is adjusted to a desired tension to hold the adjustable gate together. The truss paddle-nuts disposed at the two opposite ends of the truss turnbuckle interlock with the truss turnbuckle in a desired position and allow the truss tension to be increased or decreased incrementally. | 07-11-2013 |
| 20130221304 | SAFETY GATE - A safety gate has a doorframe, a fence door and a repositioning unit. The doorframe has a base frame, a first side frame, and a second side frame. The repositioning unit is mounted on a bottom of the fence door and has a repositioning recess. The repositioning recess selectively engages a top of the base frame and has two opposite guiding surfaces. When the fence door is open at an angle under 5 degrees relative to the doorframe, one of the guiding surfaces abuts a side of the top of the base frame. Because the guiding surface is curved and inclined relative to the fence door and because a distance between the guiding surfaces is decreased gradually, the guiding surface gradually rotates the fence door to close. As a result, the repositioning unit can close the fence door that is open slightly at a small angle. | 08-29-2013 |
| 20130221305 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE GATE - A portable gate has a cattle guard with a base cattle guard and a movable cattle guard movably mounted to the base cattle guard. The movable cattle guard may be configured to be operated in a use position wherein the gate is operational, and a non-use position wherein the gate is non-operational. A gate member may be movably mounted to the cattle guard and configured to be operated in a closed position wherein the gate member blocks travel through the gate and across the cattle guard, and an open position wherein the gate member permits travel through the gate and across the cattle guard. | 08-29-2013 |
| 20130248794 | TRI-TRUSS SELF-CLOSING GATE - The present disclosure provides various embodiments of systems and methods of fencing systems incorporating tri-truss assemblies and/or self-closing gates. A tri-truss assembly may provide stability and support to a gate that is part of a portable or temporary fencing system. For example, a tri-truss assembly may be configured to support a self-closing gate that is part of a pool fence. In various embodiments, a tri-truss assembly may include three vertical support members. Two of the three vertical support members may include pins configured to be placed within pre-drilled holes in a surface in order to maintain the tri-truss assembly upright. A third vertical support may be a different length (shorter or longer) than the first two vertical support members and include an adjustable foot, such as a threaded bolt, configured to contact the surface and provide additional stability and/or support. | 09-26-2013 |

The first mounting piece may include a first ring portion and a first rail securing portion. The first ring portion may define a first rod aperture and may be coupled to the first rail securing portion. The first securing piece may be used to secure the first guide assembly to the first rail of the gate. The gate assembly may also include a drop rod that may be inserted into the rod aperture to sideably couple the drop rod with the first guide assembly thereby substantially aligning the drop rod vertically, relative to ground. When the drop rod is put in a disengaged position, the drop rod removably couples to the second rail to allow motion of the gate. | 04-24-2014 |
