Claim 2:
3. A gated barrier comprising:
a) a barrier frame, the barrier frame defining a barrier plane;
b) a gate engaged to the barrier frame, the gate defining a gate plane, the gate movable vertically in the barrier plane by pressure from a hand or foot of a user, the gate swingable relative to the barrier frame such that the gate swings out of the barrier plane; and
c) a latch between the barrier frame and gate and engaged to the gate;
d) a latch receiver on the barrier frame;
e) the latch receiver defined by a first side, a second side, an end side, an end opening, a top side, and a bottom opening;
f) the end opening receiving the latch, the end opening being opposite of the end side;
g) the end side being opposite of the end opening, the end side being closed;
h) the first side being opposite of the second side, the first side being closed;
i) the second side being opposite of the first side, the second side being closed;
j) the top side being opposite of the bottom opening, the top side being closed;
k) the bottom opening being opposite of the top side;
l) The latch being movable through the bottom opening by said pressure when the latch and latch receiver are moved vertically relative to each other;
m) the latch having an extended position when the latch is moved through the bottom opening by said pressure and the gate being swingable after the latch has moved through the bottom opening by said pressure and while the latch is in said extended position;
n) the latch having a top side, with the top side of the latch being adjacent to the top side of the latch receiver when the latch is in said extended position; and
o) a hinge between the gate and the barrier frame, the hinge having a vertical axis such that the gate swings on the vertical axis, with said vertical axis being parallel to an elongate portion of the barrier frame, and with the hinge permitting downward movement of the gate relative to the barrier frame such that the latch is movable through the bottom opening of the latch receiver.
