Abstract: A child safety gate assembly for fitting across a staircase, passageway or the like includes a frame having at least one upstanding limb, pivotally connected to which is a gate carrying a latch assembly. The latch assembly is pivotally mounted on the gate and includes a latch member, a release member and an actuating member. The latch member is pivotally mounted on the gate and includes a movable latching portion. The latch member is movable, when the gate is closed, between a latched position, in which the movable latching portion is in engagement with a stationary latching portion and pivotal movement of the gate is prevented, and an unlatched position, in which the movable and stationary latching portions are not in engagement and pivotal movement of the gate is permitted.

Abstract: A safety gate assembly includes a frame which may be secured across a door opening, stairway or the like and comprises a base and two upstanding limbs and a gate. One side of the gate is connected by one or more pivotal connections to the one limb of the frame to permit pivotable movement of the gate with respect to the frame about a pivotal axis. The other side of the gate carries a latch member, which cooperates with a latch connected to the other limb of the frame. The latch defines a locked position, in which pivotable movement of the gate is prevented. The pivotal connection is constructed to permit linear movement of the gate relative to the frame in a direction parallel to the pivotal axis. The latch member cooperates with a biasing spring arranged to urge the latch member in the direction away from the said one side of the gate.
