Enclosure gate assembly

An enclosure gate assembly comprising:

• an extended surface flexible sheet material having a leading edge and a trailing edge;
• a columnar member having spaced apart ends and a longitudinal axis extending between the spaced apart ends;
• fastening means for attaching the trailing edge of the sheet material to the columnar member along the longitudinal axis thereof;
• a housing for enclosing and mounting the columnar member for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the columnar member, the housing including an elongate opening to allow serial travel of the sheet material therethrough;
• a spring mounted to the columnar member to normally maintain the sheet material rolled on the columnar member within the housing;
• mounting means for positioning the longitudinal axis of the housing normal to a supporting surface;
• and
• means mounted on the housing for selectively holding the leading edge of the sheet material of an adjacent assembly.

An enclosure gate assembly comprising:

• a housing having an elongate opening extending along a longitudinal axis thereof;
• a shaft having a longitudinal axis disposed in the housing and rotatable about the longitudinal axis thereof;
• a flexible webbing having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the trailing edge coupled to the shaft;
• a spring coupled between the housing and the shaft and normally retaining the webbing the shaft in a rolled condition;
• an anchor coupled to the housing for mounting the housing in a generally upright position;
• and
• a coupler disposed on the housing for selectively engaging a leading edge of a webbing of another of the enclosure gate assembly.
