Improvements in Fences and in Gates therefor..
I, ROBERT JOHN WORRALL, of the Iron Gate Works, Cuerden Street, and
143, Dale Street, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster, Designer and Art
Metal Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In
-
According to my invention, I prevent a fence bar circular in cross section.
and which passes through punctures, from rotating in those punctures.
order thereto, I form one or more of the punctures through which such bar
passes elliptical, or square or of such other form as that a bar similar in form
in_cross section, and passing through cannot be rotated.
I form a portion or portions of the bar which passes through the punctures
to correspond in cross section with the form of its related punctures.
And in order to prevent this bar from being withdrawn from its related
punctures, I crank or set the portion or portions which fit within the punctures,
so that they occupy planes other than those occupied by the bar generally.
Or I form one or more of the punctures in the punctured bar, elliptical or
square, and so that the plane it occupies is other than that occupied by the bar,
which passes through it, when the same is in proper relation to the fence.
I form a portion or portions of my bar which passes through so that they fit
the punctures.
I reduce my bar in that portion or portions which fit within the puncture,
so that a cross groove is thereby formed.
I slide this bar into its related puncture or punctures and rotate or otherwise
move, it until portions of my punctured bar enter the reduced portions or
grooves formed as described in my bar which passes through.
It will be seen that by thus rotating or otherwise moving my bar, and
causing it to occupy a plane other than the plane of the puncture, a portion or
portions of the puncture are left unoccupied. And that by filling these unoc-
cupied portions of the puncture with metal, while in a molten state, or with
wedge, or rivet, or bolt and nut, or the like, the described movement of the bar
cannot be reversed and that the bar thus made to grip my punctured bar cannot
be withdrawn therefrom.
Or to these same latter ends I may drill a hole approximately at right angles
with the direction of my puncture in the portion or portions of my bar, which
is passed through the puncture, and has been rotated or otherwise moved or
otherwise.
In this hole I insert a dowell, and secure the dowell to my punctured bar.
Or I form the puncture in my punctured bar, so that it occupies the same plane
as that occupied by the bar which passes through it.
I form the bar which passes through the puncture approximately square or
elliptical in cross section. I reduce in cross section that portion of it, which
is normally within' the puncture, and rotate that portion of it which is without
the puncture, so that the plane of this portion is not fair with the plane of the
nuncture

page_text: Instead of puncturing my bars and passing other of my bars through the
punctures, I may crank my bars at certain points of their length, so that they
assume a double cranked form, and may cause them to intersect each other at
the points thus cranked.
I may further secure the intersection by a rivet, or bolt and nut, or set screw,
and I may make my cranks alternately in opposite directions, so that the bar that
is over or in front at one intersection is under or behind at the next.
I may open my fence or any portion of it by connecting its bars together by
suitable arms. I pivot a pair of arms about the centre of their length together,
and to one of my bars, and allow the extremities thereof to move along the
neighbouring bars. In order to guide the movements of these extremities I
secure to the bars along which they move a slotted tongue for each extremity
or for each pair of extremities, so that the plane of the slot and that of the bar
to which it is attached are face to face.
I so attach my slot to my bar that a cavity is formed between them in this
cavity or on the opposite side of my tongue an extremity of my arm slides, and
is held to my slot and thus guided in its path by a suitable stud through my slot
and secured therein so that it is free to move therein, and in the extremity of
my arm by a suitable head.
The extremities of two neighbouring arms may slide on opposite sides or on
the same side, by the same tongue and may be guided and held therein by the
same stud. I may form my bars in pairs placed latterally with my tongue in
the centre. In carrying out this part of my invention, the cross section of bar
I prefer to use is segmental.
I may guide and hold my bars in their motion to and fro by means of suitable.
tracks hinged or otherwise. In order that my bars when closed together may
he hinged and turn approximately at right angles to the opening fenced, I
disconnect one portion of my guides from another portion, so that one portion
thereof may have the same hinged movements as the closed bars, and in order
that the junction of the portions of my guide may be readily passed by the
bars that slide over it, I form the ends of my guide where the junction occurs
of V form, and so that the points of the V's come together I may cause these
points to slightly overlap.

According to my invention, I prevent a fence bar 1, Fig. 1, circular in cross-
section Fig. 2, and which passes through punctures 2, Fig. 3, and 3, 4, 5 6 Fig. 4,
from rotating in those punctures. In order thereto, I form one or more of the
punctures, through which such bar passes elliptical 2, Fig. 3, or square 5, Fig. 4,
or of such other form 6, or 3, or 4, Fig. 4, or similar form so that a bar 1, Fig.1,
with a portion 7, Fig. 1, within the puncture 2, Fig. 3, or 5, or 6, or 3, or 4, Fig. 4,
and similar in form thereto in cross-section cannot be rotated therein. I form
such portion or portions 7, Fig. 1, of the bar 1, Fig. 1, to correspond in cross-
section with the form of its related punctures. And in order to prevent this
bar 1, Fig. 1, from being withdrawn from its related punctures, I crank or set
the portion or portions 7, Fig. 1, which fit within the punctures, so that they
occupy planes other than those occupied by the general line of the bar 1, Fig. 1,
and Fig. 2. I may however, form the whole of my bar 1, Fig. 5, Fig. 26 to
correspond in cross-section with my puncture 6, Fig. 4, 6 Fig. 6, and thus pre-
vent it rotating, and to prevent it being withdrawn, may form one or more
cranks 7, Fig. 5, in such bar, similar to that above described and shown 7,
Fig. 1, but without causing it to depart from its normal cross-section, and as
described in my printed Specification No. 22,564, in 1896, page 4, line 3.

page_text: Although I generally fix these crank bars in a vertical position in my fence,
I may also fix them in a horizontal position. To facilitate and cheapen the
cranking of bars as described in my aforesaid printed specification from page 3;
line 37, to page 4, line 35, and as hereinbefore described and shown at 7, Fig. 5,
7 Fig. 1. I may cast them in metal while in a molten state, or press them
between the tools Figs. 71, 72, 73, 70, 74, 75, 76, 80, 77, 78, 79, 37. Or I form
one or more of those portions of my fence bar which pass through punctures
elliptical Figs. 11, 10 or square 7 Figs. 8, 7 and their related punctures in
my punctured bar 10 Figs. 11, 10, and 10 Figs. 8.7, elliptical 2 Fig. 10 or
square 8 Fig. 7, to correspond, (with reference to Fig. 7, note that 8 refers to
my square puncture, partly enclosed by dotted lines and partly enclosed by
continuous lines, and that 7 refers to that portion of my fence bar within my
puncture, shown in section), but in such relation to my fence as that when my
fence bar is slided into its related punctures, it must be rotated or otherwise
moved in order to bring it into proper relation to my fence. In order that this:
rotation or other movement may be possible, I reduce my bar 1 Figs. 8. I in
that portion or portions 7 Figs. 8, 11, which fit within the puncture & Fig. 7,
2 Fig. 10, so that a cross groove or grooves 9, Fig. 9, 9 Fig. 8. and 9 Fig. 12,
9 Fig. 11 are thereby formed. I slide this bar into its related punctures. and
rotate or otherwise move it until portions of my punctured bar 10, Fig. 11,
10 Fig. 10, and 10 Fig. 8, 10 Fig. enter the reduced portions or cross grooves 9
Fig. 11, 9 Fig. 12 formed as described in my bar 1 Fig. 11. or cross grooves 9
Fig. 8, 9 Fig. 9 in my bar 1 Fig. 8. It will be seen that by thus rotating or
otherwise moving my bar and causing it to occupy a plane other than the plane
of my puncture, a portion or portions 11 Fig. 7, 11 Fig. 10, of my puncture
are left unoccupied and that by filling these unoccupied portions of my puncture
with metal while in a molten state or wedge. or rivet or bolt and nut, or the
like, the described movement of my bar cannot be reversed and that my bar thus
made to grip my punctured bar cannot be withdrawn therefrom. To this same
end I may however form the puncture 5 Fig. 13, in my punctured bar so that
it occupies the same plane as the general line of my bar 1 Fig. 14 and I may
form the cross groove 9 Fig. 14, 9 Fig. 15 on one side only of my bar 1 Fig. 14.
and in place of rotating my bar, may force it in a horizontal direction until
a portion of my bar 10 Fig. 13, enters the cross groove 9 Fig. 14, 9 Fig. 15.
In order to prevent the return of my bar 1 Fig. 14, in the horizontal direction.
I insert metal while in a molten state, or wedge. or other similar stop, 12 Fig. 14.
Again to this same end I form a puncture 13 in my punctured bar 10 Fig. 16
or the puncture 6, in the bar 10, Fig. 17, and I so twist the portions 14, of the
bar 1, Fig. 18, and the portions 14, of the bar 1. Fig. 22, that are without the.
puncture, that the said portions occupy planes other than those occupied by the
puncture 13, Fig. 16. and puncture 6, Fig. 17, and as shown at 14, Fig. 18,
14 Figs. 19, 20, 14, Fig. 22. Again to the same end, I form the puncture 15
in the bar 10, Fig. 24, or 5. Fig. 4, and the bar 1, Fig. 25. to correspond there-
with in cross-section, and to prevent such bar from being withdrawn from its
related puncture, I drill the hole 16, in the bar 1, Fig. 25, and insert into the
hook 17, Fig. 25, 17, Fig. 24. Instead of puncturing my bars and passing
other of my bars through the punctures, I may form the crank or curve 18. in
the bars 1. Fig. 27, Fig. 28, at certain points of their length, so that they
assume a double cranked form, and may cause them to intersect each other at
the points thus cranked. I may further secure the intersection by a rivet 19
Fig. 28, or bolt and nut 20 Fig. 28, or set screw 21 Fig. 28, and I may make
my cranks alternately in opposite directions, so that the bar that is over or in
front at one intersection is under or behind at the next. It will be seen that a
fence constructed as Fig. 27, Fig. 28, contains a number of open spaces as 22,
Fig. 28. These spaces I may fill with glass or tiles or the like. In order to,
increase the strength of the glazed fence, I may form the intersecting bars of
rolled metal T form in section, Fig. 30, and may form the intersection by cutting
.

page_text: away portions 23, 23, of the table 24, Fig. 31, in the one intersecting bar and
portion 25, of. the leg 26, Fig. 32, of the other. I join these as shown at the
intersection 27, Fig. 38. I may further arrange that the leg and table are
respectively alternately over and under, or I may form the intersection by placing
a number of rolled metal bars 28, Figs. 33, 35, † form in section, parallel to and
at a convenient distance from each other, and connecting them by strips of
same section, but preferably smaller, 30, Figs. 33, 35, placed thereon, loose or
with rivet 29. Fig. 33. 34. 35, 36, thus forming the spaces 22, Fig. 33, 35. I
now insert my glass 31, or tiles or the like bedded and groutted in suitable
cement 32, Fig. 35, Fig. 36. I may cause the uppermost plane of my glass to
rise above the uppermost plane of my metal, and fill in the space 33, Fig. 36
thus formed with cement or molten metal, preferably lead, or with tiles or the
like. In order to open my fence or any portion of it. so as to admit goods or
passengers, I may connect together two or more fence bars 1, of any convenient
section Fig. 39, leaving a cavity 34, between them Fig. 39. The section I
prefer for one or both of these bars is segmental Fig. 40, Fig. 41. I insert in
the cavity 34. between the inner faces of the bars 1, Fig. 39, the packing
pieces 35, 45, Figs. 39, 68, 44, 45, 42, 43, with the holes 36, and the slots 37,
Figs. 44, 43. In place of the holes, 36, Figs. 44, 43. I may form the slot 38,
Fig. 45, and pass rivets or other fastenings there-through. I connect together
the double bars 1, with metal arms 39, of any convenient cross-section, Fig. 46.
I may pivotally connect such cross arms, at the centre 40, of their length Fig. 46.
I may also pivotally connect the centre 40, with an intermediate double bar 41,
Fig. 46, in the cavity 34, Fig. 39. In order that my double bars 1,41, Fig. 46,
may move towards and from each other, I pivotally connect their extremities
with the pivot 42, in the slot 37, in the tongue 35.45 Fig. 44, Fig. 43, Fig 46,
and so that the said extremities are capable of sliding, and at same time auto-
matically clearing their path from extraneous matter. I may liniit the distance
to which my double bars 1, 41, Fig. 46, may move from each other, by the
length of the slot 37, Fig. 42, Fig. 43, Fig. 44, Fig. 45. I may arrange one
pair of arms 39, Fig. 46, to intersect another pair of arms 39 Fig. 46. Thus it
will be seen that when my double bars 1,41, Fig. 46, close together my fence
folds into a reduced space Fig. 47. In place of forming my bars 1,41, Fig. 46,
double, I may form them single Fig. 48, and still connect them with the
arms 39, Fig. 46, as described. I may guide and hold my bars 1,41, Fig. 46,
Fig. 39. Fig. 47, in their movements to and from each other by means of
tracks 43 Fig. 49, Fig. 50, 44 Fig. 51, Fig. 52, Fig. 53, running between the
two bars forming my double bars 1 Fig. 51. I may connect such tracks with
one of my double bars 1 Fig. 46, Fig. 49, Fig. 52 by forming it integral with
one of my packing pieces 45, and slots 37. Fig. 42. Fig. 43, Fig. 49, Fig. 52,
Fig. 54, Fig. 55. I use the track 44, Fig. 52, Fig. 53, at or near the threshold,
and provide therein a hinge 59 Fig. 52, Fig. 53, so that when my fence is folded
into a reduced space. the portion 61, of my track may be rotated about the
hinge 59 into the position shown in Fig. 52. I use the track 43 Fig. 49, Fig. 50,
at or near the head or transome of the entrance. I may rotate my fence with
its bars folded together upon hinges integral with my track such as 47 Fig. 49
Fig. 54, and 46 Fig. 52, Fig. 55, and in order that one portion of my head
track may rotate with my fence when folded together, and the other portion
remain fixed in position, I form each of the adjacent ends of the two portions
of my head track V shape in plan so as to form a spliced joint 48 Fig. 50 Fig. 49.
It will thus be seen that my head track will easily disconnect and permit the closed
bars to rotate and easily connect and allow the bars to move easily over their
junction. I may, however omit some of my double bars 1, 41. Fig. 46, Fig. 39,
Fig. 47. Fig. 56, Fig. 57, or my single bar 1, Fig. 48, and while connecting to
the said double or single bar one extremity of my arms 39. Fig. 56, Fig. 57, in
the manner herein before described and shown at Fig. 46, Fig. 47, Fig. 44. I
may connect the opposite extremity pivottally with the extremity of another of

page_text: my arms 39, and the extremity of the latter pivottally with the extremity of
another of my arms 39 Fig. 56. I may cause similar arms to intersect and be
pivottally connected with the arms described Fig. 56, Fig. 57. I may stop off
some of my arms 39, Fig. 56, so as to form larger diamond spaces. I may
connect my arms at the point 49 of my double or single bar 1 Fig. 56 pivottally
but not capable of sliding or instead thereof I may so connect my arm 39 at
either of the points 50 of my double or single bar 1 Fig. 56 Fig. 57. I may
form all or any of the faces of my arms segmental as shown at Figs. 40 41. 1
may extend my arms at the extreme top or or and the extreme bottom of my
gate or fence as shown at Fig. 56 so as to form barbs or points to prevent
climbing or to form ornaments. It will be seen that a gate thus constructed
does not require the tracks 43 Fig. 49, Fig. 50, 44 Fig. 52, Fig. 53, nor does it
generally need to be supported by castors as shown at Fig. 58 or Fig. 59, but I
may find it convenient to use one or other of such castors. In order to cause
such castor to stop and hold the gate at any point I provide the well 51 Fig. 58,
and Fig. 59 for the castor 52 which I provide on one of my double or single
bars 1, Fig. 58 or the ball castor 53 in one of my double or single bars 1,
Fig. 59 to sink into. I may cause my gate when folded to rotate upon castor 53
Fig. 59. When my double or single bar 1 Fig. 56, Fig. 57 is required as an
outside style for my folding gate or fence Fig. 46, Fig. 47, Fig. 56, Fig. 57-I
may replace them by a rolled metal bar in cross section as 54, Fig. 60, Fig. 63,
Fig. 61, Fig. 64, Fig. 62, Fig. 65, and I may pivottally connect my arms 39
Fig. 56 with the sliding pieces 55 or I may replace the said double or single
bar with the bar 56, Fig. 66, Fig. 67 and I may pivottally connect the extremi-
ties of my arms 39, Fig. 56 with the slot 57 Figs. 66 67 and so that the said
extremities are capable of sliding as aforesaid.
