sition by reason of the engagement of its
wheels with the bars.
While I have shown and described the
preferred embodiment of my invention, it
5 is understood that I may make such minor
changes in arrangement and construction of
parts, as will remain within the spirit of the
invention and the scope of the appended
claims.
10 Having thus described my invention, what
I claim is:-
1. A railway gate including central and
outer sections, said central section being dis-,
posed between a pair of rails and the outer
15 section being disposed on the outer side of
a pair of rails, a pair of pivot elements dis-
posed on the. outer side of the rails, arms
extending upwardly from said pivot ele-
ments and supporting said outer section,
20 said inner section being supported by said
pivot elements, operating bars connected to
said arms and disposed parallel to the rails
and adapted for depressing said gate sec-
tions upon the passage of a train, and spring
25 means for returning said gate to a vertical
position.
2. A railway gate including central and
outer sections, a pair of pivot elements dis-
posed on the outer side of a pair of rails and
so supporting said: central section on a hori-
zontal pivot, a pair of vertical arms con-
nected to said pivot element and supporting
said outer section, and operating bars hav-
iig elongated slots in the opposite . ends
35 thereof and having connection with said
arms and .the rails.
3. A railway gate including, a central sec-
tion,. a pair of pivot elements carried by a
tie and supporting said central section, a
40 pair of arms extending at right angles to
said. pivot elements, heads connected to said
vertical- arms, pins carried by said heads,
operating bars pivotally connected to the
rails and having elongated slots in the in-
45 ner-ends thereof for receiving said pins, and
coil springs normally retaining said gate
section in. a vertical position..
4. A railway gate including, a central sec-
tion,. horizontal pivot elements carried by
50 a tie and having, the inner ends thereof
squared and extending into said gate sec-
tion, arms carried by said pivot elements,heads, pins carried-by said heads, operating
bars having elongated slots- in the inner
ends thereof for receiving said pins, the 55
outer ends of said operating bars having
elongated slots therein for pivotal and slid-
ing connection with the rails, and coil
springs carried by said pins and said oper-
ating bars for normally retaining said bars 60
in a forward position with relation to said
pins.
5. A railway gate including, a pair of
pivot elements, a central gate having con-
nection with said pivot elements,. pairs of 65
arms anchored adjacent. said pivot elements
and to said gate, flanges carried by the inier
ends of said arms, coil springs mounted on
said arms and disposed between said flanges,
and means to operate said gate. 70
6. A gate including horizontally pivoted
central and outer sections, means to operate
said sections, arms having their outer ends
anchored adj acent said sections and to said
sections, the inner end portions of said arms 75
being arranged in- overlapped. relation, coil
springs surrounding the overlapped portions
of said arms,, and flanges cA ried by said
arms and retaining said coil springs in, po-
sition. 8:s0
7. A gate for railway tracks including,
central and outer sections, horizontal pivot
elements supporting said central section,
vertical arms connected to said pivot ele-
ments and supporting said outer sections, 85
heads carried by said arms, pins carried by
said heads and disposed to one side of said
arms, operating bars having elongated slots
in their. inner ends for receiving said pins,
pins carried by the rail sectionsthe outer end 90
portions of said operating bars being pro-
vided with elongated slots.for receiving said
pins of the rail sections, and' coil springs
connected to the pins of said heads and to
said operating bars and normally retaining 95
the rear portions of. said first namecl elon-
gated slots in contact with said pins carried
by said heads.
- In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
