ABSTRACT:
A gate latch is described for maintaining a wire gate in a closed position between a pair of gate posts embedded in the ground. The gate latch comprises a support which is nailed to the upper end of one of the gate posts and which has one end of a lever pivotally secured thereto. A U-shaped connector is pivotally secured to the lever and is adapted to be extended over the upper end of the end post member of the gate. The lower end of the end post member is inserted into the U-shaped connector secured to the lower end of the associated gate post. Pivotal movement of the lever causes the upper end of the end post member to be drawn or pulled towards the gate post. When the lever is in its locked position, an "over-center" condition is achieved to maintain the gate in its closed position.
