Abstract
A flap gate includes a door body and a flap ancillary part. When the door body is in its down position, a movable end portion of the door body is located forward of a supported end portion. The door body changes its position between the down position and a maximum up position. The flap ancillary part applies tilt-up moment to the door body only when the door body is located in a position between the down position and a first position. The flap ancillary part also applies tilt-down moment to the door body only when the door body is located in a position between the maximum up position and a second position.
