Fixing device for an actuator to control the opening and closing of the leaf of a door or gate

A fixing device for an actuator which controls movement of a leaf of a gate between an open position and a closed position, the actuator comprising a fixed part and a mobile part, the leaf being hingedly mounted on a pillar, the fixing device comprising a hinged assembly including:

• a hinge bracket fixed to the pillar;
• one of the fixed part and the mobile part of the actuator being hingedly coupled to the hinge bracket at a first location;
• an elongated body, including a first end hingedly coupled to the hinge bracket at a second location distinct from the first location, and hingedly coupled near a second end to the other of the fixed part and the mobile part of the actuator;
• and
• an arm hingedly coupled at a first end to the leaf and hingedly coupled at a second end to the elongated body near the second end of the elongated body, the elongated body and the arm being aligned with each other and each being angularly aligned with the leaf in the closed position, wherein the leaf is stopped from moving beyond the closed position by any further extension of the elongated body and the second arm.
