What this patent covers
An electrically operated gate for closing off an opening such as a driveway or yard entrance. The gate is made of segments carried on a support at the edge of the opening; each segment rotates between an open and a closed position within a single plane, so the gate folds aside rather than swinging out or sliding along a track.

Abstract
An electric gate system adapted to close an open space. The electric gate system includes a support disposed at an edge of the open space, and a first plurality of gate segments. Each of the first plurality of gate segments has a closed operative orientation and an open operative orientation, where the closed operative orientation and the open operative orientation are in a single plane and are rotationally offset from one another. A gate opening assembly is attached to the support. At least one electric motor is functionally associated with each of a second plurality of gate segments, the second plurality of gate segments being a subset of the first plurality of gate segments. During operation thereof, the at least one electric motor causes simultaneous rotational motion of all gate segments in the second plurality of gate segments.
