Adjustable gate, having multiple guttering systems, multiple impact-absorbing systems, multiple anti-warping systems, multiple anti-sagging systems, multiple personal-injury-eliminating systems, and self-centering angle-locking safety truss
A unique adjustable guttering anti-warping anti-sagging safety-truss gate comprises corner gutters to drain rain water, body gutters to drain rain water, extension tubes having multiple built-in tunnel systems to drain rain water, struts having multiple built-in tunnel systems to drain rain water, and vertical tubes having multiple built-in draining-hole systems to drain rain water down to the ground. Further, the unique gate comprises multiple ridge systems built into the extension tubes to strengthen the unique gate, and multiple spring systems built into the vertical tubes to strengthen the unique gate and to absorb impact forces, warping forces, twisting forces, and sagging forces exerted on the unique gate during its lifespan. The corner gutters, body gutters, and vertical tubes are welded to one another to create the frame of the unique gate. The extension tubes are inserted into the body gutters, and the struts are screwed in the corner gutters and on the extension tubes to define the width of the unique gate.
Gate Hinge and Latch With Direct Attachment to a Support Post and One-Handed Opening of Latch and Gate
A fence system with a gate assembly mounted in a gap between first and second fence portions of the fence system. A hinge may be used to mount the gate assembly, where the hinge has a clamp fixed to a support with substantially the same cross-section, and the support is fixed to a first member of the hinge. A second member of the hinge can be mounted to the gate assembly with the first and second members being rotatably fixed together, thereby allowing rotation of the gate assembly between open, closed, and various other positions. A latch actuator can selectively secure and release a latch retainer thereby selectively allowing the gate to rotate to the various positions. A handle can be positioned proximate the latch actuator to allow gripping of the handle and manipulating the actuator with one hand, thereby releasing the retainer.
Unique anti-warping anti-sagging interlocking gate, having anti-warping anti-sagging interlocking triple-U-shaped-clamp brackets, anti-warping anti-sagging interlocking L-shaped hinges, and interlocking tube nuts
A unique anti-warping anti-sagging interlocking gate comprises: multiple triple-U-shaped-clamp bracket systems having front and rear plates and bracket tube nuts, multiple anti-warping anti-sagging interlocking-tube-nut hinge systems having crisscross 90-degree hinge tube nuts, multiple struts, a truss having cable ends and a cable clamp, and a truss-cable-clamp-hiding tunnel system. The front and rear plates and bracket tube nuts are for uniquely securing the triple-U-shaped-clamp bracket systems to the struts to prevent the interlocking gate from warping and sagging. The crisscross 90-degree hinge tube nuts are for uniquely interlocking the hinge systems to a fence post in two 90-degree interlocking directions and in five different crisscross interlocking elevations. The truss-cable-clamp-hiding tunnel system is for uniquely hiding the cable ends and a cable clamp inside one of the struts and under one of the triple-U-shaped-clamp bracket systems.
TELESCOPING SWING GATE
A design for a universal telescoping swing gate can be sized to obscure a wide range of openings while accommodating a multitude of installation options to make the gate versatile under many conditions. The swing gate can have a frame with a pivot member rotatable about a mounting seat between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The frame can have first and second telescoping members adjustable along an extension axis between a collapsed state and a fully extended state for changing the frame length so the gate can be quickly furnished to different sized openings. The gate can be spring loaded to bias the frame to a nominally closed position to reduce the chance for human error among workers. The gate can also be sized to have the structural rigidity to comply with OSHA requirements for handrails and guardrails around a walking-working surface.

GATE HINGE AND LATCH WITH DIRECT ATTACHMENT TO A SUPPORT POST
A fence system with a gate assembly mounted in a gap between first and second fence portions of the fence system. The gate assembly can be mounted directly to a post of the first or second fence portions without being mounted to pickets or backer rails of the fence portions. A hinge may be used to mount the gate assembly, where the hinge has a clamp fixed to a support with substantially the same cross-section, and the support is fixed to a first member of the hinge. A second member of the hinge can be mounted to the gate assembly with the first and second members being rotatably fixed together, thereby allowing rotation of the gate assembly between open, closed, and various other positions.
Barrier with panels sliding parallel
A barrier employed to keep children and/or pets in or out of certain areas in the house. The barrier includes four panels. Two main panels slide parallel to each other to lengthen or shorten the barrier as a whole. Two side panels stabilize the main panels and extend to the front and rear faces of the main panels to provide a self-supporting in-house barrier. Each of the panels includes a wooden frame. The wood lends less weight, less sharp edges, and more pleasing aesthetics than, for example, a metal gate. Legs are connected to the side panels to further stabilize the side panels and main panels.

Animal enclosure with dual door assembly
An animal enclosure including a plurality of members defining an interior of the enclosure. One of the plurality of members includes a first member having a frame structure and door assembly formed by a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires. At least two of the horizontal wires of the frame structure form a hook positioned inside the defined opening. The door assembly is coupled to the frame and moves between open and closed positions. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door removably coupled to one another. The enclosure also includes a latch assembly for releasing the door assembly from the frame structure. In the closed position, at least one horizontal wire of the first door and at least one horizontal wire of the second door are coupled to the hooks formed by the at least two horizontal wires of the frame structure.
Gate
A gate comprises a spring-loaded hinge arrangement defining a rotational axis. A gate structure having a first support arm connected to a first end of the hinge arrangement is also provided. The gate structure is rotatable about the rotational axis. A spring-loaded hinge arrangement includes an outer hinge tube fixedly connectable to an adjacent structure and an inner hinge tube received in the outer hinge tube. The inner hinge tube has a first portion and a second portion movable with respect to each other, the second portion of the inner hinge tube being fixed with respect to the outer hinge tube and the first portion of the inner hinge tube being fixed with respect to the support arm.
