Abstract
This invention is directed toward a fence gate kit, comprising two or more uprights that create a slot between an outer plane and an inner plane, and several horizontal rails, that slide into the slot. The uprights are nestled between a top frame and a bottom frame, and the rails are glued into place at the proper spacing within the uprights. Screws or bolts can optionally be also used to secure the rails in place.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedThat which is claimed:
1 . A fence gate kit, consisting of a gate upright, a rail, and an attachment, where the gate upright has a right box beam, a left box beam, and a center box beam, where the gate upright also comprises a hole, where the rail has a rail shape, and the hole has a hole shape, and the rail shape fits into the hole shape, where once the rail is inserted into the hole, the rail rotates at a rail rotate angle, where the rail rotate angle is adjusted to a desired angle, at which point it is secured by the attachment.
2 . The fence gate kit of claim 1 , where the hole is rectangular in shape.
3 . The fence gate kit of claim 1 , where the hole is square in shape.
4 . The fence gate kit of claim 1 , where the attachment is selected from the group consisting of glue, welding, and screws.
5 . The fence gate kit of claim 1 , where the attachment is glue.
6 . A fence gate kit, comprising: two frames, and upper frame and a lower frame, two uprights, each upright comprising an inner wall panel and an outer wall panel, and a plurality of rails, where one upright is attached to a first end of the upper frame, and a first end of the lower frame, and where the other upright is attached to a second end of the upper frame and a second end of the lower frame, where for each upright, the inner wall panel and the outer wall panel create an upright gap with a gap distance, where the plurality of rails have a rail width, and where the rail width is slightly smaller than the gap distance, and where each rail is slide into the upright gap of each upright.
7 . The fence gate kit of claim 6 , where each of the plurality of rails is spaced from a next rail by a rail gap.
8 . The fence gate kit of claim 7 , where glue is used to secure the plurality of rails to the uprights.
9 . The fence gate kit of claim 7 , where each rail is secured by a screw.
10 . The fence gate kit of claim 6 , where each upright can have more than one inner wall, created by one or more inner box beams.
11 . The fence gate kit of claim 6 , additionally comprising a webbing, where the webbing prevents an end of a frame member from extending beyond an outer wall of the upright.
12 . The fence gate kit of claim 11 , where one or more frames can be secured within one or more uprights without the use of external welding.
13 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where one or more rails can be secured withing the one or more frames without damage to the finish of the uprights, frames, or rails.
14 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where the frames are secured within the uprights by screws.
15 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where the frames are secured within the uprights by internal welding.
16 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where the frames are secured within the uprights by glue.
17 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where the frames are secured within the uprights by at least one of glue, internal welding and screws.
18 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where all connections between uprights and frames, and frames and rails, are internal.
19 . The fence gate kit of claim 18 , where all connections between uprights and frames, and frames and rails, are accomplished without damage to the finish coating on any of the uprights, frames, and rails.
20 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , with all connections between uprights and frames, and frames and rails are accomplished without the use of supportive bracing or external welds.
21 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where the number of inner box beams in an upright is two, and the inner box beams form a channel into which a frame member fits, and the channel is blocked at one end with a webbing, and the frame member can rotate only in a vertical direction, as the box beams and the resulting channel prevent any horizontal movement of the frame member.
22 . The fence gate kit of claim 21 , where the lack of any horizontal movement results in a stronger and more rigid gate.
23 . The fence gate kit of claim 12 , where the lack of external welding creates a resulting gate where all parts of the resulting gate will weather at the same rate.
24 . A fence gate kit, comprising a gate upright, a rail, and an attachment, where the gate upright has a right box beam, a left box beam, and a center box beam, where the gate upright also comprises a hole, where the rail has a rail shape, and the hole has a hole shape, and the rail shape fits into the hole shape, where once the rail is inserted into the hole, the rail rotates at a rail rotate angle, where the rail rotate angle is adjusted to a desired angle, at which point it is secured by the attachment.
25 . The fence gate kit of claim 24 , where the hole is rectangular in shape.
26 . The fence gate kit of claim 24 , where the hole is square in shape.
27 . The fence gate kit of claim 24 , where the attachment is glue.
28 . The fence gate kit of claim 24 , where the attachment is selected from group consisting of glue, screws, and welding.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
