The present invention relates generally to the field of fencing. More specifically, the present invention relates to an expandable gate used with livestock pens, corrals or other fencing The gate has a frame with at least one vertical member, at least one horizontal member, at least one horizontal expansion member, at least one diagonal member and at least one locking bolt. The horizontal expansion member can further be used to expand the width of the gate, and the frame can further be locked in the expanded position via a bolt that contacts a groove on the horizontal expansion member.

The present invention relates generally to the field of gates. More specifically, the present invention relates to a drive through gate device primarily comprised of at least one support post, at least one gate assembly, and at least one spring. The gate assembly is preferably attached on each end to a support post, wherein each support post is supported by a ground frame member. The gate assembly can then be driven over and through by a user in a vehicle such that the gate assembly rests on the ground surface in front of the device. After a vehicle has finished driving over and through the gate assembly, the gate assembly is returned to the vertical position parallel with the support posts via the spring.

A strapping apparatus for coupling an article to a post, the apparatus including a post adapter including a first side configured to engage with the post and a second side comprising a recess; a retaining element at least partially located in the recess of the post adapter; and a strap configured to extend around the post, the strap including: a first end configured to be removably coupled to post adapter; and a second end configured to be received in the retaining element.

A publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex is disclosed, with a man-made tropical, pristine-clear lagoon as the centerpiece of the complex, with surrounding entertainment, educational, sports, and commercial facilities, the complex having controlled public access and providing the look and feel of a tropical beach with clear waters and sandy beaches. In addition a method for efficiently utilizing facilities and land that are vacant, underutilized, have limited uses, or that are contiguous to or nearby recreational, educational, sports, or commercial venues is disclosed. The method providing a publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex with a centerpiece man-made tropical-style pristine-clear lagoon. The method allows for generating revenue and increasing efficiency by pairing vacant sites, underutilized sites, limited use land, or sites that are contiguous to entertainment, educational, sports, and/or commercial venues with urban beach entertainment complexes. The complex preferably has a controlled public access, thereby allowing entrance upon payment of a fee.

An automated gate for robotic mowers may include at least two doors that are sized to receive a robotic mower, and it can be installed in any fence to enable the mower to move between the yards on its own. The at least two doors of an automated gate may provide optional capability to lock when not used by the mower and unlock automatically when the mower gets close. By default, the at least two doors may remain unlocked, yet closed, thereby providing a cost-effective solution for customers who do not have to worry about pets. An add-on module may be provided that may add a locking mechanism and triggering mechanism, thereby providing end users with the ability to lock the automated gate completely.

A pneumatic drive mechanism for converting linear motion from compressed air into rotational motion for use in fare gates and other applications.

A wire crate latch apparatus having, in a first embodiment, a pivoting member that is continually drawn to a closed position by gravity and that is deflected into a catch when the door having the pivoting member is swung closed. The latch apparatus further includes upper and lower stops to contain a distal end of the pivoting member and to hold the distal end in the position to hit an oblique portion of the catch when the door is closed. In a second embodiment, a sliding latch apparatus is deflected by a catch and is relatively inaccessible from inside of the wire crate by back plates on the latch and catch.

System for detecting the movement conditions of the leaf (2) closing a barrier, this leaf being able to occlude a delimited opening or passage and in which the leaf itself is moved by a motor (5) whose rotation shaft (R1) is associated with a motion transmission mechanism to this leaf. On said motor is present a first device for measuring the rotation of said rotation shaft (R1), and at least a second measuring device is associated with at least a second rotation shaft (R2), said second rotation shaft being connected to the first shaft by means of a reduction gear (8), whose reduction ratio is non-integer.
