Abstract
A reconfigurable gate includes a first fence section, a section fence section and third fence section. The first fence section includes a plurality of first cross members. The second fence section includes a plurality of second cross members. The third fence section includes a plurality of third cross members. The first fence section and the second fence section are rotatably attached to the third fence section such that when the gate or fence is in a fully collapsed configuration, the plurality of first cross members and the plurality of second cross members are substantially interleaved with the plurality of third cross members.
Claims20
A reconfigurable gate comprising:
- a first fence section including a plurality of first cross members;
- a second fence section including a plurality of second cross members;
- and
- a third fence section between the first and second fence sections, the third fence section including a plurality of third cross members;
- wherein the first fence section and the second fence section are rotatably attached to the third fence section such that in a collapsed configuration of the reconfigurable gate the plurality of first cross members and the plurality of second cross members are both substantially interleaved with the plurality of third cross members along the entire lengths of the first and second pluralities of cross members such that the first, second and third pluralities of cross members are in a common plane.
A reconfigurable gate comprising:
- a generally planar central section defining a first plurality of horizontally extending openings and a second plurality of horizontally extending openings;
- a first end section coupled to the central section for rotation about a first pivot axis, the first end section defined by a first plurality of horizontally extending elements;
- and
- a second end section couples to the central section for rotation about a second pivot axis, the second end section defined by a second plurality of horizontally extending elements;
- wherein the first and second end sections are each rotatable relative to the central section between a collapsed configuration of the reconfigurable and an expanded configuration of the reconfigurable gate such that in the collapsed configuration the first plurality of horizontally extending elements is substantially disposed in the first plurality of openings and the second plurality of horizontally extending elements is substantially disposed in the second plurality of openings and further such that the first and second pluralities of horizontally extending elements are in a common plane.
