Default Questions on weight-closed fencegate

I'm having trouble doing some research on a weight-operated gate closing
system. It's either because I don't know the right keywords or there just
isn't much stuff out there.

I just put up a short section of cedar fence, about 44 inches high, with
a gate, so the dogs won't run into the neighbor's yard every time something
moves. The gate is about 39 inches and I want to try using a weight on a
cable to close it instead of a spring. Just to be different, I guess, but
if it works it wouldn't slam the gate shut like a spring would. I saw
something like it on Norm's show some time back. Does anyone know of any
gates that use a weight on a chain or cable to pull it shut? I'm still
going to give it a try but maybe I can save myself a little
experimentation.

Thanks,
Dan
