ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly for a hinged double gate structure including a pair of hinged gates swingable to and from a closed position wherein the gates are disposed in substantially coplanar relationship with a vertical edge of a first gate adjacent to a vertical edge of a second gate. The latch includes a normally generally vertical latch rod having an upper end. A mounting bracket slidably receives the rod and attaches the bracket to the edge of the first gate with the rod extending along the edge thereof. The rod is restrained from rotation on its longitudinal axis. A latch yoke includes a pair of spaced yoke arms and is pivotally connected to the rod on a pivot axis transverse to the rod for pivotal motion of the yoke between a gate latching position wherein the yoke arms extend transversely of the rod and straddle the edge of the second gate and a gate releasing position wherein the yoke arms extend generally longitudinally of the rod.
