Abstract
A gate closure for a wire gate includes at least two gate engaging members in spaced relation. Levers are provided in spaced relation for each of the at least two gate engaging members. Each of the at least two gate engaging member is pivotally secured to one of the levers. A linkage is provided between the levers whereby the levers are operated in unison to move the at least two gate engaging members between a first position and a second position.
Claims8
A gate closure, comprising:
- at least two gate engaging members in spaced relation;
- levers in spaced relation for each of the at least two gate engaging members, each of the levers having a mounting end and a remote end, each of the at least two gate engaging members being pivotally secured to one of the levers in an intermediate position between the mounting end and the remote end;
- the mounting end of each of the levers being adapted to be pivotally secured to a post;
- and
- a linkage between the levers positioned toward the remote end of each of the levers whereby the levers are operated in unison to move the at least two gate engaging members between a first position and a second position.

A gate closure, comprising:
- at least two gate engaging members in spaced relation;
- a rigid reinforcing member extending between the gate engaging members, thereby maintaining the spaced relation;
- at least two post mounting brackets;
- levers for each of the gate engaging members, each of the levers having a mounting end and a remote end, each of the gate engaging members being pivotally secured to one of the levers in an intermediate position between the mounting end and the remote end, the mounting end of each of the levers being pivotally mounted to one of the at least two post mounting brackets;
- and
- a linkage between the levers positioned toward the remote end of each of the levers whereby the levers are operated in unison to move the gate engaging members between a first position and a second position.

A gate closure, comprising:
- two gate engaging hook members in spaced relation;
- a rigid reinforcing member extending between the gate engaging members, thereby maintaining the spaced relation;
- two post mounting brackets, each of the post mounting brackets having a mounting surface;
- levers for each of the gate engaging members, each of the levers having a mounting end and a remote end, each of the post engaging members being pivotally secured to one of the levers in an intermediate position between the mounting end and the remote end, the mounting end of each of the levers being pivotally mounted to the mounting surface of one of the post mounting brackets for pivotal movement on a plane parallel to the mounting surface;
- and
- a linkage between the levers positioned toward the remote end of each of the levers whereby the levers are operated in unison to move the gate engaging members between a first position and a second position.
