Abstract:
1. A telescoping gate assembly comprising: a frame; a primary gate member connected to the frame such that the primary gate member is movable relative to the frame, the primary gate member including at least one side wall, a top wall extending at an angle from a top of the side wall, and a bottom wall extending at an angle from a bottom of the side wall to create a cavity between the bottom wall, side wall and top wall; a secondary gate member located in the cavity of the primary gate member and configured to move relative to the primary gate member and the frame, wherein at least one of the bottom wall and top wall of the primary gate member includes a first roller/rail structure located a first distance from the side wall and a second roller/rail structure located a second distance from the side wall, and the first distance is less than the second distance, and the secondary gate member includes a secondary roller structure spaced from the primary gate member and from the first roller/rail structure and second roller/rail structure, the secondary roller structure of the secondary gate member configured to roll on a rail located on a ground substrate located under the telescoping gate assembly; a retraction cable connected to the primary gate member via a first pulley and connected to the secondary gate member via a second pulley; an extension cable connected to the primary gate member and secondary gate member; and an actuator assembly connected to the frame, and connected to at least one of the primary gate member and the secondary gate member, and configured to move the at least one of the primary gate member and the secondary gate member relative to the frame.
