This invention relates to a support for a gudgeon. It is known to hang gates on posts by way of gudgeons. Over time the load and movement of the gate may cause the gudgeon to loosen. In this regard the hole that the gudgeon is screwed into becomes ‘over-sized’ due to wear and tear. This may necessitate replacing the gudgeon, or screwing it into another part of the post. It is an object of a preferred embodiment of the invention to address this problem. In this regard there is a support having a hub and a series of spikes. The gudgeon passes through the hub and the spikes are imbedded in a post. The arrangement is such that the support 1 takes up at least some tipping force on the gudgeon.

A wheeled gate support is described herein. The wheeled gate support includes a front wheel in-line with a rear wheel, one or more side frames, and a post. The one or more side frames assemble to opposing sides of the wheels. The post has a bottom portion and a top portion. The bottom portion assembles to the one or more side frames to form a pivot point and the top portion is configured to assemble to one or more gate rails of a gate. The wheels can therefore pivot about the pivot point while rolling along the ground to assist a user with opening and closing a gate along rough or bumpy terrain. A wheeled gate support kit is also provided.

An exemplary crash gate to guard against motor vehicles crossing a roadway in a direction from an attack side to a protected side including a buttress post assembly secured below ground in a first concrete foundation on a side of the roadway, the buttress post assembly having two buttress posts forming a barrier passage, a latch post assembly secured below the ground in a second concrete foundation on an opposite side of the roadway, the latch post assembly having two latch posts forming a latch gap, a barrier with a gate beam disposed in the barrier passage and extending from a buttress end to a latch end, and one of a vertical pin or a hook connected to the latch post assembly and positioned in the latch gap and the other one of the vertical pin or the hook located on the latch end, when the barrier is in a closed position the latch end is located in the latch gap and the vertical pin is positioned outside of the hook.

A barrier that includes four structurally different corner connections for fixing a gate frame of the barrier to and between opposing vertical surfaces. A first connection includes a headed straight pin engaging a pivot hook and socket, a second connection includes a headed straight pin engaging a socket, a third connection includes headless bent pin engaging a socket and a limiter, and a fourth connection includes a headless bent pin engaging a socket.

The invention as described herein in includes a traveling gate grounding assembly that includes a traveling gate having a gate panel with a front surface, a conducting cable that extends from an initial attachment point on the gate panel to a terminal attachment point on the gate panel. The traveling gate is electrically connected to the conducting cable. Also included is a floating ground comprising at least one grounding pulley that is electrically connectable to a ground line, wherein the conducting cable is slideably engaged with a wheel of the grounding pulley and is electrically connectable to a ground line via the grounding pulley.

Also included are traveling gate grounding systems that can be retrofitted to a gate panel including a conducting cable, at least one fastener capable of securing the conducting cable to a gate panel; and a floating ground comprising at least one grounding pulley that is electrically connectable to a ground line and to the conducting cable, wherein a wheel of the grounding pulley is capable of being slideably engaged with the conducting pulley and is simultaneously electrically connectable to a ground line and the conducting cable; wherein, in situ, the gate panel is in electrical communication with the floating ground.

A retractable gate system structured and arranged to block off stairs and doorways with a simple pull and click by extending a sliding rail, pulling down mesh material, and clipping the device into bottom anchor hooks to instantly close off any opening thereby keeping kids and pets safe.
