FR2571413A1 - Precast concrete tomb of reduced bulk, partially forming a road - Google Patents

Abstract

The subject of the invention is a precast concrete tomb having a design which mainly aims to save on surface area for the construction of cemeteries. The precast concrete box element comprises a door on the upper part, the narrowest element of which is the only one to be visible. The vehicles drive over the horizontal part provided with a slight slope. Since each box element only forms half a road, it is necessary to place two tombs side by side in order to obtain a road having a width of 2.20 m with a central channel. The progressive transition in two stages from the horizontal part to the vertical part prevents the vehicles from possibly damaging the ornamental wall. In addition to its specific function, the tomb according to the invention provides the public with a passage for vehicles and a system for collecting rainwater.

Description

PREFERICAL CONCRETE CELLAR, OF REDUCED SIZE,
PARTIALLY FORMING THIS.

STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the idea of gaining maximum surface area in the construction of our cemeteries through the use of the most economical forms, precast concrete vaults.

 The shape of the precast concrete vault must (now) allow three essential characteristics.

 - Housing the bodies to be buried.

 - Have a volume of understanding or ornament.

- Concede to the public domain a lane for the passage of vehicles inside the aisles
as well as a water recovery system
stormwater by central channel0
The forms chosen according to the invention make it possible to remedy the losses of surfaces in a very rational manner.

The invention in fact comprises a precast concrete box closed by a door made watertight by a centering to be plugged after closing of the latter. The door is on the upper part of the box. This box is internally ribbed on four sides to add prefabricated concrete shelves. The whole of this box forms the housing of the bodies.

The narrowest upper part will be the only part visible to the human eye and will therefore become the LE ORNAMENTAL PART of the vault.

Here too, the invention reduces the surface area for stone effects (granite or marble). In fact, only two sides can be decorated, the top comprising the burial orifice and the shod side.

The invention enshrines a form for the circulation of vehicles on the public domain that is the cemetery. It is on the slightly sloping horizontal part (around 3%) that vehicle traffic will take place. Each cellar forming only a HALF-PAVEMENT (N 9 in the description) including a HALF CHANNEL (N 5 in the description), it is necessary to add two cellars gutter against gutter so that we have a floor of 2.20 m wide with a central channel in the middle that can collect rainwater.

The invention devotes a CENTERING (N 4 in the description) to the upper end of the cellar in order to use cast iron grids to cover it and thereby give the roadway a safety ximun towards people.

In addition, the intersection of the ornamental part of vertical direction with the road part which is horizontal (3% slope) is not done suddenly but in two successive stages interrupted by a leave at 450. These two stages are an additional security for the non-degradation of the ornamental part of the cellar. They form the WHEEL STOPPER (N 2 in the description) which, as its name suggests, protects the shapes of the cellar against unintentional friction caused by vehicle bodies.

The invention devotes a large horizontal surface (N 6 in the description) located below the concrete vault in order to be able to place it on a foundation capable of withstanding the effects of loads0
Certain new constructions can use this envelope directly from the ground, provided that it is shaped before installation.

The figure named "DESCRIPTION" on page 7/7 represents the external forms of the project and gives them a number.

The figure on page 6/7 shows all the dimensions of this invention.

The figure named "PERSPECTIVE" page 5/7 represents the arrangement of the tanks in the layout of a modern cemetery. We can see the size of the roadway (2.20 m) as well as the maximum lateral size between two concrete tanks ~ (4.20 m) the length of the tanks being only 2.30 m.

All these forms being expressly explained in this description, they devote an important primacy to the invention in gaining the surface area of new funeral facilities in the public domain of local authorities.
