ABSTRACT:
There is provided an exceptionally reliable and sturdy gate latching assembly having particular utility with horizontally longitudinally stretchable farm gates such as those comprising lengthy horizontal wire strands. The gate latching assembly generally comprises an upright elongate lineal shaft that is attached to the fence post so as to be rotational about the shaft vertical-axis, one or more vertically separated radial lugs each co-rotatably attached to the upright shaft, a C-shaped link having its first-end pivotably attached to a radial lug and having its second-end provided with a vertical perforation to removably latchably accommodate a dog depending from the gate free-end, handle means to facilitate rotation of the upright shaft so the link pivotably restrained first-end is caused to move from a rearward latching-station to a forward locking-station, and arresting means cooperating with the handle means to arrest rotation of the upright shaft after the gate dog has been moved to the forward locking-station through the forwardly moved C-shaped link thereby stretchably urging the farm gate closely toward the fence post.
