Abstract

A safety gate for enclosing a passageway includes first and second gate members situated in an overlapping arrangement for slidable movement horizontally so that a width defined collectively by the gate members is selectable. The second gate member is essentially received by the first gate member. Each gate member includes an upstanding proximal end panel and spaced apart upper and lower panels extending away from the respective proximal end panel, the upper and lower panels having terminal ends, respectively, that together define a void therebetween. Each gate member includes an upper rail member extending horizontally along an upper edge of the first gate member that is perpendicular to respective upper panels. The first and the second rail members are situated one atop the other and share a singular vertical axis extending through them.
