Self centering gate

A self-centering stock-proof gate comprising a gate structure for extending outwardly from a post, a support structure including mounting means for mounting on the post, hinge means for supporting the gate structure on said mounting means for pivotal movement about a vertical axis at said mounting means such that the gate structure is movable from a closed position to each of two open positions each substantially at right angles to the closed position first and second slide members each mounted on said support structure so as to extend from said axis in a direction along the gate structure in the closed position thereof and outwardly to a respective side of said gate structure in the closed position thereof, first and second elongate flexible coupling means each having a first end and a second end arranged to apply a spring biasing force to said gate structure from a respective one of said open position toward said closed position, each said slide member being arranged to receive said first end of said respective spring coupling means for sliding movement of said first end from a position outwardly of said axis to a position adjacent to said axis, the orientation of the slide member and the connection between the spring coupling means and the gate structure being arranged such that in the closed position said first end of each of said spring coupling means is positioned at said outward position thereof and as said gate moves toward a respective one of the open positions, said first end of a respective one of said spring coupling means slides toward said adjacent position thereof.
