Thank you for the copy of the patent for an earlier model. I’ll get my explanation out of the way first (next post) before I wade through the patent to see how it compares. I had pointed out in an earlier post that the left-hand end of the Arcuate Arm appeared disconnected. I was uncertain if it was meant to be like that or if a pin had fallen out connecting to two more bars of a four-bar gate under the cover. Let’s assume the left-hand end is supposed to be disconnected. DaveP
