Abstract
A gate and gate post assembly is provided for use with animal containment pens. The assembly includes a pair of upright posts arranged to be supported spaced apart, each post having an upper support flange adjacent a top end and a lower support flange adjacent a bottom end. A gate is arranged to be supported on the posts in an upright orientation. The gate has a pair of upper mounting pins extending downward from respective sides of the gate adjacent a top end of the gate and a pair of lower mounting pins extending downward from respective sides of the gate adjacent a bottom end of the gate. The upper and lower mounting pins are arranged for slidably engaging into respective apertures in the upper and lower support flanges. A pair of latches, each in the form of a pendulum, are provided for pivotally mounting onto the respective sides of the gate. The latches each include an engaging portion which is arranged to engage the corresponding support flange in an equilibrium position for restricting upward deflection of the gate relative to the post. Deflection of the latch from the equilibrium position allows the gate to be deflected upward for opening the gate.
