Abstract
A wire-fence gap-closer-gate fastener has a lever rod (1) that is pivotal vertically on a lever pivot (2) proximate a pivot end of the lever rod. The lever pivot is positioned proximate a lever end of a post-attachment member (3) that is attachable to a top portion of a fixed gate-latch post (4). Fence wiring (6) is extended from a loose gate-latch post (8) to a fixed gate-pivot post (7). For a gate-closed mode, the loose gate-latch post is attachable juxtaposed to the fixed gate-latch post by positioning a top portion of the loose gate-latch post in a top post loop (12) and a handle end (10) of the lever rod is lowered to a lever rest (13) that positions a gate-tightening anchor (9) on the lever rod lower than the lever pivot.
Claims13
A wire-fence gap-closer-gate fastener comprising:
- a lever rod having a pivot end that is pivotal vertically on a lever pivot that is positioned on a gate side of a post-top portion of a post-attachment member that is attached to a top portion of a fixed gate-latch post of a wire-fence gap-closer gate of a fence;
- a gate-tightening anchor intermediate the lever pivot and a handle end of the lever rod;
- a loop connector having a loop-attachment end and having an anchor end that is pivotal on the gate-tightening anchor;
- a top post loop attached to the loop connector;
- the top post loop being sized and shaped to be positioned on a loose gate-latch post of the wire-fence gap-closer gate;
- a lever rest positioned vertically lower than the lever pivot on a fence side of the top portion of the fixed gate-latch post;
- and
- the post-attachment member has a post-top portion that is extended horizontally proximate a top of the fixed gate-latch post.
