Abstract
A gate apparatus includes a frame that is approximately in a shape of a letter “U”, a gate that opens forward or backward, a rotational support device that supports the gate so that the gate rotates and moves upward relative to the frame, a locking device that locks the gate at a closed position, and a pedal device that unlocks the locking device. The pedal device includes a pair of pedals on the both sides of the gate, and a push-up member that is linked to the pair of pedals. The push-up member includes a push-up surface that tilts when the pedal is operated. The push-up surface tilts so that the push-up surface moves upward and comes in contact with the gate on the side closer to the pedal that has been operated, and applies a push-up force and a rotation force to the gate.
Claims7
A gate apparatus comprising:
- a frame that is approximately in a shape of a letter “U” and includes a base section;
- a gate that opens forward or backward from a closed position at which the gate is disposed inside the frame;
- a rotational support device that supports a first side of the gate so that the gate rotates and moves upward relative to the frame;
- a locking device that locks the gate at the closed position;
- and
- a pedal device that unlocks the locking device to open the gate,
- the pedal device including a pair of pedals that are provided on the base section and disposed on a front side and a back side of the gate positioned at the closed position, and a push-up member that is linked to the pair of pedals, and
- the push-up member including a push-up surface that tilts so that the push-up surface moves upward and comes in contact with the gate on a side closer to one of the pair of pedals when one of the pair of pedals is operated, and applying forces to the gate that push-up and rotate the gate.
