US 2025/0027349 A1 · GATE HINGE BRACKET ASSEMBLY

Abstract

A gate hinge bracket assembly for pivotally mounting a gate having longitudinal horizontal members and a leg frame member to a vertical support such as a post. A pair of U-shaped brackets, each one having opposing side flanges, receive a horizontal bar with the vertical leg frame member disposed therebetween adjacent the inner surface of the U-shaped bracket. A pair of spaced apart aligned vertical bracket sleeves are welded on the outer surface of the bracket opposite the opposing side flanges. Each gate hinge bracket assembly includes a threaded tee rod with a pair of nuts and washers for securing the rod to a post. The threaded tee rod includes a proximate end including a vertical tee rod sleeve alignable for cooperative engagement mounting between the bracket sleeves. A fastener is inserted through the bracket sleeves and vertical tee rod sleeve pivotally connecting and supporting the gate to the post.

An improved gate hinge bracket assembly for pivotally mounting a gate having longitudinal horizontal members and a leg frame member to a vertical support such as a post, the improvement comprising of a pair of U-shaped brackets each one having opposing side flanges for receiving a horizontal bar and a vertical leg frame member disposed therebetween adjacent an inner surface of said U-shaped bracket, said opposing side flanges of said U-shaped bracket including a plurality of spaced apart aligned apertures for insertion of screws or bolts surrounding the horizontal bar and vertical leg member for attachment thereto, a pair of spaced apart aligned vertical bracket sleeves are affixed to the outer surface of said U-shaped bracket opposite said opposing side flanges, a threaded tee rod with a pair of nuts and washers secures said threaded tee rod to a post, said threaded tee rod proximate end including a vertical tee rod sleeve alignable for cooperative engagement mounting between said bracket sleeves, and vertical pin is inserted through said bracket sleeves and said vertical tee rod sleeve pivotally connecting and supporting the gate to the post.

An improved gate assembly pivotally supporting a gate on a post, wherein the gate has a frame with a pair of spaced apart, vertically aligned end members and at least two longitudinal horizontal members spaced apart and aligned parallel with one another extending between said vertically aligned end leg members, the improvement comprising:

a threaded tee rod including a distal end nut and a proximate end nut for adjustably securing said threaded tee rod in said post;
a U-shaped mounting bracket formed from a unitary sheet of material bent in a parabolic curve defining a pair of spaced apart aligned opposing side flanges;
said opposing side flanges including an upper portion and a lower portion, said opposing flanges having a plurality of pairs of opposing apertures for insertion of a fastener there-through for tightening said opposing flanges around a longitudinal horizontal member at a position proximate to said vertical end member, wherein at least one pair of opposing apertures is located in said upper portion of said opposing flanges and at least one pair of opposing apertures is located in said lower portion of said opposing flanges for tightening said fasteners on each side of said selected longitudinal horizontal member;
said opposing flanges wrapping around said vertical end member so that said vertical end member abutting against an interior curved surface of said U-shaped mounting bracket;
said U-shaped mounting bracket including a pair of spaced apart aligned vertical U-shaped bracket sleeves affixed to an exterior surface of said U-shaped mounting bracket;
said threaded rod tee having a distal end comprising a rod tee sleeve to be coaxially aligned and disposed between said vertically aligned U-shaped bracket sleeves;
a pin for insertion into said first and second bracket sleeves of said U-shaped bracket
and the coaxially aligned vertical rod tee sleeve of said rod tee providing pivotal movement of said gate with respect to said post.
