Abstract:
1. A foldable panel gate for being supported adjacent a respective gate opening, the foldable panel gate comprising: a gate post for being supported in proximity to the gate opening; an inner panel section having a first side and a second side spanning in a respective longitudinal direction between an inner end pivotally coupled to the gate post and an opposing outer end; a drive coupled to the inner panel section so as to be arranged to drive the inner panel between a closed position spanning partway across the gate opening and an open position in which the gate opening is substantially unobstructed by the inner panel section; an outer panel section having a first side and a second side spanning in a respective longitudinal direction between an inner end pivotally coupled to the outer end of the inner panel section and an opposing outer end; and an operating linkage coupled between the inner and outer panel sections so as to be arranged to control displacement of the outer panel section together with the inner panel section between the closed position in which the outer panel section is substantially co-planar with the inner panel section so as to span across a respective portion of the gate opening and the open position in which the outer panel section is folded alongside the inner panel section such that the first sides of the panel sections are adjacent one another, the operating linkage comprising: the outer panel section being pivotal relative to the inner panel section about a vertical folding axis which is spaced perpendicularly outward from the first sides of the panel sections in the closed position.
