Abstract:
A gate hinge hinges a gate to a vertical post at an installation site where the post projects vertically in an upward direction from a surface having a first surface portion extending laterally of the post in an inward direction normal to the upward direction of the post and a second surface portion inclined rearwardly of the post upwardly at an angle of inclination, the gate hinge including a hinge axis, mounting members mounting the gate hinge relative to the post with the hinge axis skewed relative to the direction of the post such that the hinge axis passes through a first location adjacent the upper end of the post and a second location vertically below the first location and placed rearwardly and outwardly, with respect to the post, relative to the first location, a bracket mounting the gate to the hinge for swinging movement about the hinge axis between a closed position and an open position, the bracket having bracket arms for locating the gate relative to the hinge axis such that the gate, when in the closed position, extends laterally inwardly, relative to the post, generally parallel to the first surface portion and vertically in a plane generally parallel to the post and, when in the open position, extends upwardly and rearwardly at essentially the angle of inclination of the second surface portion to extend generally parallel to the second surface portion, while located vertically in a plane generally parallel to the post.
