Description
Background of the inventions This present invention relates to a novel form of adjustable support bracket for erecting monuments a.nd other grave site markers in cemeteries, comprising: an adjustable support bracket having a lower and upper section. 'The lower section having a vertical support plate and an integral ninety degree foot plate. The ninety degree foot plate is supported by the firm soil at the bottom of the grave. The front end of the casket or casket box will rest on the foot support plate adding weight on the foot support for firmness. The upper section of the support bracket is adjustably supported by the bottom section and has an outwardly ninety degree support plate for supporting a monument or other grave site markers. The monument support plate has gussets to strengthen the plate for supporting the monument. The monument support bracket will be installed during the preparation of the grave site.
Variom types of monument supports have been used in cemeteries, most of them have sophisticated structures and are complicated and expensive to construct. It is common for newly dug soil to settle over a period of time making it difficult to erect a monument base and monument for at least one year. Most monument bases are constructed from poured concrete which will add extra weight to the loose soil and cause ii to sink even more. If a monument is erected during this critical period of time damage could occur by the monument base causing the monument to lean and possibly fall over.
The monument support bracket in the present invention will solve the problem of having to wait several months,or a year, or more for the soil to settle around the grave site before erecting a monument. T'he monument support bracket will be installed during the time the grave site is being prepared for burial, allowing the monument or other grave site markers to be erected during the day of burial. The soil adjacent to the monument base is for appearance only and if it settles or washes away it will not affect the security of the monument.
Referring to United States Patent 4,175, 363 wherein a primary object of the invention is to provide a footer for installation in a grave for supporting monuments which has a capacity for ease of assembly having enhanced stability providing maximum safety. A
fiirther object of this invention is to provide a footer for supporting monument foundations in cemeteries which is adaptable for installation in a grave. A further object, of this invention is to provide a footer for supporting manuments for eetneteries which is adaptable to permitting the monument to be erected immediately following backfilling of the grave. The footer as shown in Fig. 1 of U. S. Patent 4,175,363 has a two piece L-shape frame work interlocking with each other forming a rigid footer around the casket. When this stage of installation is completed the soil is backed filled to the level of the top of the footer and than tamped in the usual manner. The next stage of back filling is to mount concrete blocks on the horizontal cross member of the footer to a height slightly below ground level. At this point of installation an upper plate or cap is supported by the concrete blocks for mounting the monument or other grave site marker, the soil will than be back filled to ground level. It is also suggested that if desired the grave may be initially back filled and tamped to ground level completely covering the footer. At a later date the soil above the horizontal support member may be excavated preparatory to installing the monument or other grave site marker. If this latter procedure is followed, concrete blocks can be substituted for poured concrete to fill the gap between the upper surface of the horizontal support member of the footer, and the lower surface of the monument or other grave site marker.
The object of the present invention is to have an easy and cost effective method for supporting and mounting a monument or grave site marker. This method in the present invention is a lot less complicated, less time consuming and less expensive than the procedure in US patent number. 4,175, 363. In the present invention the monument mounting bracket is easy to install, it is delivered in two pieces having a lower section and an upper section. The upper section having a support plate for supporting a monument, the upper section is shorter than the lower section.
When the grave is dug the lower section having a foot support plate is rested firmly to the front wall of the grave, the foot support plate is rested on the bottom of the grave slightly below ground level and covered with soil, when the casket box or casket is laid in place it will sit on top of the foot rest. The lower section of the support bracket supports the upper section of the support bracket and monument support base by a back plate having integral side rails, and threaded bolts secured by fixedly mounted threaded nuts tluough a plurality of adjusting holes in the vertical portion of the upper section of the support bracket. The monument support base is pressed firmly into the loose back filled soil. 'The lower section of the vertical support bracket having its top end approximately one foot below the grave grade level for easy access to the adjusting bolts if necessary. Different monuments and other grave markers can be easily interchanged with the bottom section of the monument support bracket if so desired. This is by far the easiest and less time consuming method of supporting a monument or other grave site markers.
There is no heavy lifting of concrete blocks or pauring concrete for monument foot supports. The monument support bracket is constructed from stainless steel and will be everlasting.
Other metals can be used if desired Brief Description of The Drawings:
