Abstract
The present double door gate apparatus has a first lowermost frame member with a first inner end and a second lowermost frame member with a second inner end. The first and second inner ends are spaced apart and engaged by a first connector that engages exterior portions of the inner ends and a second connector that engages interior portions of the inner ends. First and second gates have inner ends that confront each other more closely than the inner ends of the lowermost frame members confront each other.
Claims20
A double door gate apparatus, comprising:
- a) a first base frame, the first base frame including a first outer end frame member that extends vertically and a first lowermost frame member that extends horizontally, the first lowermost frame member having a first inner end, the first inner end having a top face, front face, and rear face;
- b) a first gate engaged to the first base frame;
- c) a second base frame, the second base frame including a second outer end frame member that extends vertically and a second lowermost frame member that extends horizontally, the second lowermost frame member having a second inner end, the second inner end having a top face, front face and rear face;
- d) a second gate engaged to the second base frame;
- and
- e) a first connector engaging the first inner end of the first lowermost frame member to the second inner end of the second lowermost frame member, the first connector engaging exterior portions of the first and second inner ends;
- and
- f) a second connector engaging the first inner end of the first lowermost frame member to the second inner end of the second lowermost frame member, the second connector engaging interior portions of the first and second inner ends.
