Claims17
A variable width gate adapted to be manipulated to secure the gate within the boundary of an opening, the gate comprising:
- a first panel section and a second panel section, the panel sections coupled to each other to allow each panel section to slide relative to the other panel section, the first panel section including an upper lever pivotally coupled thereto and the second section including a lower lever pivotally coupled thereto;
- an
- a locking member for releasably locking the first panel section with respect to the second panel section comprised of an upper collar shaped for sliding movement with respect to the upper lever, a lower collar, shaped for sliding movement with respect to the lower lever, the upper and lower collars being fixedly attached to each other, and a release mechanism for releasably preventing the upper and lower collars from sliding movement.
