  • Patent number: 6619602
    Abstract: A gate support system for the free end of a swinging gate. The system can be secured to the free end of an existing gate or it may be included as an integral part of the gate at the time of manufacture. The system includes (a) an elongated support; (b) a foot member carried by the support member and being vertically moveable relative to the support member between raised and lowred positions; (c) bias means for biasing the foot member to the raised position; and (d) a lock for locking the foot member in a desired vertical position relative to the support member. When the gate has been pivoted to a desired position, the foot member can be pushed downwardly until it rests firmly on the ground. The lock will hold the foot member in a lowered position where it will support the weight of the free end of the gate. A trigger can be activated to release the lock and enable the foot member to move to a raised position.
