Chain gate structure

A chain gate for a gateway defined by a pair of upright horizontally spaced anchor members comprising:

• (a) a chain structure for opening and closing said gateway including a pair of end posts corresponding to said pair of anchor members with each end post located adjacent to and inwardly of an associated anchor member and inclined upwardly and toward the anchor member,
• (b) means for securing each end post to an adjacent anchor member,
• (c) a plurality of chain members extended between said end posts in a vertically spaced relation to raised positions therefor to close said gateway with the uppermost one of said chain members adjacent the upper ends of said end posts, and to lowered positions extended between the lower ends of said end posts to open said gateway,
• (d) means connecting the ends of said chain members to said end posts for up and down movement thereon,
• (e) flexible means interconnecting adjacent ends of said chain members whereby on movement of the uppermost one of said chain members from the gate opening to the gate closing position therefor the remaining chain members are sequentially moved thereby to the gateway closing positions therefor, said chain members having varying lengths relative to the inclination of said end posts to provide for their taut extension between the end posts in the gate closing positions therefor, and
• (f) means for raising and lowering said uppermost chain member.
