Improvements in Gate Hinges.—Mr. GeorgeDittenhaver, of Dresden, Ohio, has invented and taken measures to secure a patent for an improvement in common gate hinges, which is very useful and good. Theimprovement is on the eye of the loop part, which is secured to the gate, the pivot being fixed in the gate post, as usual. The shank of the loop is peculiarly constructed, and passes through the after-tree, and turnsover with a lip, which is wedged in by a piece of hard wood, and most effectually prevents it from being drawn out. There is a flange which passes around and binds it to the edge of the after-tree. This improvement prevents the sagging down of the gate from its great weight and continual working on the hinges. The hinges are kept firm and secure in their places, and nodifficulty is experienced by the drawing out of them from their place.
