Description

CONSTRUCTION OF METAL ATAUD DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention is generally related to the construction of coffins for the final disposal of human remains. More particularly, this invention relates to a coffin having a coffin box-metal, and with a method for manufacturing a coffin box from prefabricated metal components that have been shipped to an assembly location. Coffins with the general shape of a cane have been used for decades for the final disposal of human remains. A coffin conventionally has a left wall, a right wall, a front end wall, a rear end wall, a bottom, and an upper part or lid. Each of the walls of the coffin may include an upper frame strip and a lower frame strip each of which extend outwardly from a central strip from the upper and lower frame strips. These frame strips provide strength and rigidity to the coffin box, and also create a desired aesthetic appearance. Coffins conventionally include an inner fabric lining so that most if not all of the interior surfaces of the coffin box are covered. Significant efforts have been made in the last century to develop an aesthetically pleasing but relatively inexpensive casket. A low-cost coffin is described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 1,128,865. In more recent years, several coffins have been devised using corrugated fiberglass for the "walls of the coffin, as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,967,455 and 5,353,484." The coffin walls formed from a cellulose material with an outer veneer is described in US Patent No. 5,454,141 A wooden structure can provide the desired structural integrity to the walls of the casket, and the outer plating on the walls of cellulose material can be thin plastic or metal foil. Despite the significant efforts made to date to develop an aesthetically pleasing but relatively inexpensive casket, many caskets today continue to use walls and floors made of bent sheet metal strips.A commonly used method for making such casket is that of welding each end of the wall of a side wall to the front end wall or back a, with this structurally interconnecting the two walls in a 90 ° corner. Each of the four corners is conventionally covered with a molding at an angle of 90 °, so that at least most of the corner welding is covered by the molding and thus is not visible.

A significant disadvantage of the above design is the cost of welding each end of each side wall with a respective front or rear end wall. This operation requires a lot of work, and care must be taken to ensure that proper structural welding at each corner does not allow separation of the side wall with the end wall. Due to the heat generated by this welding operation, the metal must be repainted subsequent to the welding operation. The assembled coffin is then shipped conventionally to one of the several warehouses to be delivered later to each funeral home. The costs of boarding the coffin assembled to the warehouse represent a significant portion of the total cost of the coffin. An improved casket and a method for making a casket has been desired for a long time. More particularly, improved techniques are required to reduce the combined cost of manufacturing and shipping a coffin, while also providing a coffin with a desired aesthetic appearance. The disadvantages of the prior art are solved by the present invention, and an improved casket and an improved method for making a casket are described hereinbelow. The coffin of the present invention can be manufactured at a relatively low cost, and can be assembled in the selected place from prefabricated components which are shipped economically by the manufacturer to the warehouse or to another place of assembly. A coffin to contain the remains of a dead person includes a coffin box that has a left wall, a right wall, a front end wall, a rear end wall, and a coffin bottom floor. A top or lid is conventionally placed by means of hinges to the coffin box. The walls of the coffin box define four corners, mainly a left front corner, a right front corner, a left rear corner, and a right rear corner. In accordance with the present invention, each of the walls is fabricated from sheet metal having a thickness of at least 0.063 cm (0.25 inches). Each wall also has an elongated flat upper frame strip and an elongated flat lower frame strip, these upper and lower frame strips preferably being within a common plane. An elongated flat central strip is separated between the upper frame strip and the lower frame strip, the central strip being spaced inward from the upper and lower frame strips. A left side of each of the end walls is homogeneous with the right wall, so that the left side is bent in both the upper frame strip and the lower frame strip from the left front corner and the corner rear left.In the same way, a right side of each of the end walls is homogeneous with the right wall such that the right side is bent both in the upper frame strip and in the lower frame strip -from the right front corner and the back right corner. The left side securing strip is fixed to an inner surface of each left end wall, preferably by welding the securing strip to both the front left and rear end wall. In the same way, a right securing strip is fixed to an inner surface of each right end wall. A front securing member is provided to secure the left front strip to the right front strip, and a rear securing member similarly secures the left rear strip to the right rear strip. Preferably, each front securing member and rear securing member includes a plurality of interbonding deformations, with each deformation having a depth of at least 0.76 cm (0.30 inches). An outer decorative cover can be placed on a seam formed between the adjacent edges of each left end wall and right end wall. Each of the walls of the coffin box preferably includes a supporting canvas extending inward from the lower frame strip. Each of the walls may include an angled upper connecting strip interconnecting the upper frame strip and the central strip, and an angled lower connection strip interconnecting the lower frame strip and the central strip. The bottom of the coffin is preferably a sheet of metal sheet supported by the supporting canvases. The bottom sheet metal sheet is preferably secured to the supporting canvases by a plurality of interblocking notches. A corner molding is preferably provided to cover the center strip between each side wall and an attached end wall. It provides "an improved method for forming a coffin box, with the coffin box having a right wall, a left wall, a front end wall, a rear end wall, and a coffin box bottom. a left front corner, a right front corner, a right rear corner, and a left rear corner According to the method, a left side canvas and a right side canvas are each made from sheet metal having a thickness of at least 0.063 cm (0.025 inches), with each of the canvases forming an elongated flat upper frame strip, an elongated flat bottom frame strip, and a central strip so elongated between the upper frame strip and the frame strip The elongated flat central strip separates inwards from both the upper frame strip and the lower frame strip, and the upper frame strip and the lower frame strip of each lie are formed within a common plane. A left side securing strip is fixed to an interior surface of each front left and rear left end wall, and a right side securing strip is likewise fixed to an interior surface of each front right and rear side end wall, preferably by a welding operation. The canvases and the bottom floor of the coffin can then be shipped to a selected assembly location. At the assembly site, the left side canvas is bent to form a left side wall, a left side of the front end wall, and a left side of the rear end wall, with a folded left side canvas also forming each front left side corner and left side rear corner. Similarly, the right side canvas is bent to form the right side wall, a right side of the end wall fxontal and a right side of the rear end wall, with a folded right canvas forming each right lateral front corner and the right lateral rear corner. The front left side strips are then secured to the front right side strip, and the rear left side strips are likewise secured to the back right ^ Side strip. Preferably, these strips are secured by forming a plurality of interlocking deformations in the attached strips, thereby reliably securing the left side of each end wall to the right side of each end wall without a welding operation. The floor of the coffin box is then placed inside the connected box walls. An outer decorative cover can be placed on a seam formed between the adjacent edges of each left side end wall and right side end wall. A corner molding can also be used to cover the center strip between each side wall and an attached end wall. A supporting canvas can be provided on each wall, with each supporting canvas being inward of the lower frame strip. The bottom of the coffin box may be supported on the supporting canvases and secured thereto by a plurality of floor interblocking notches. It is an object of the invention to provide an aesthetically pleasing but relatively low cost coffin of the type having metal coffin walls. In order to facilitate the fabrication and inexpensive assembly of the coffin, each of the coffin box corners is formed by a fold between a side wall and an end wall. The insurance strips are fixed to the inner surface of. each left and right end wall and the securing strips interconnected by respective front and rear secured members. It is a feature of the invention that each side wall preferably has a thickness of 0.063 to 0.081 cm (0.025 to 0.032 inches), and that the attached securing strips are interconnected by the plurality of inter-biasing deformations. The securing strips can be welded to the respective end wall. It is another feature of the invention that an outer decorative cover can be placed on a seam formed between the adjacent edges of each left and right side end wall. Yet another feature of the invention is that the bottom of the coffin can be a sheet of metal sheet. This canvas may be supported on the supporting canvases extending inward from each of the lower frame strips and the end walls. The sheet metal sheeting can be secured to the supporting canvases by a plurality of floor intermeshing notches. Still another feature of the invention is that a corner molding can be used to cover the central strip between each side wall and an attached end wall. It is still another object of the invention to provide an improved method for forming a coffin box of the type having a left side wall, a right side wall, a front wall, a back wall and a coffin bottom. Each left side canvas and right side canvas can be prefabricated and shipped at a relatively low cost at an assembly site, with a left side safety strip and a right side safety strip attached to an interior surface of what would eventually become a wall of end. The canvases can be formed in such a way that a top frame strip and a bottom frame strip of each canvas are within a common plane. At the assembly site, the left side canvas can be bent to form the left side end wall, and the left side of the front end wall and a left side of the rear end wall, with a folded left side canvas also forming each of the left front corners and left rear corner. Similarly, the right side canvas can be folded _ to form the right side wall, the right side of the front wall and a right side of the back wall, with the right side canvas folded forming each right front corner and the right rear corner. The left strip and a right side strip can then be secured to form a front end wall, and the left rear side strip and the right rear side strip can equally be secured to form the rear end wall. It is a feature of the invention that each of the left and right side strips can be secured by a plurality of interbonding deformations. It is particularly advantageous according to the present invention to avoid the cost of welding operations at the assembly site. It is also a feature of the invention to place an outer decorative cover over a seam formed between the adjacent edges of each left side end wall and the right side end wall. A corner molding can be used to cover the center strip between each side wall and attached end wall. A significant advantage of the present invention is that the components of the coffin box can be fabricated at one assembly site and the components shipped at a relatively low cost to a selected assembly site, wherein the coffin box is then assembled. The coffin box assembly can be accomplished by relatively inexperienced personnel, and the coffin box can be formed by folding the prefabricated canvases and interconnecting the securing strips without requiring any welding operation. A mechanical folding operation can then be used to secure the left side end wall to the right side end wall, and a similar folding operation can be used to secure the metal sheet floor to the interior backing canvas on each wall of the wall. extreme. These and additional objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be obvious from the following description, when reference is made to the figures in the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a pictorial view of a coffin according to the present invention - Figure 2 is a side view of one of the prefabricated canvases according to the present invention. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the canvas shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a pictorial view of a partially assembled coffin box in accordance with the present invention. Figure 5 is a side view of a left side securing strip fixed to a right side securing strip. Figure 1 illustrates a complete casket 10 according to the present invention. The coffin conventionally includes four sides, mainly a left side wall 12 and a similar right side wall, and a front end wall and a similar rear end wall 14. The coffin also includes a bottom 15 (see Figure 4) which, together with the four walls, defines a top open box 16. An upper part or cap 18 can conventionally be provided in two pieces, such that any of the front 20 or rear 22 pieces can individually move from the open position to the closed position, generally by means of a conventional hinge assembly (not shown). ). The right side wall and the left side wall of the coffin each is conventionally provided with a side handle 24 which is secured to the respective wall by corner brackets 26 and one or more intermediate brackets 28. If desired, the end handles 30 may be provided adjacent to either or both of the front and rear walls, and another end wall bracket 32 may be placed between two of the corner brackets 26. Each of the four walls is provided with a strip 34 of flat top to long frame and a strip 36 of bottom flat elongate frame elongates. An elongated central strip 38 separates inwards from and between the upper and lower frame strips. These strips 34, 36 of the frame provide the desired aesthetic appearance to the coffin, and also give resistance to the coffin box 16, as will be discussed subsequently. Figure 2 illustrates a side view of one of the two canvases 40 which form the sides of the box 16. Each canvas thus has an upper frame strip 34 and a lower frame strip 36, like a strip 38. of central framework. Each canvas preferably has a uniform cross section along its length, and the cross section of the canvas 40 is shown in Figure 3. Along its length, the canvas thus consists of a central section 42 which finally it becomes the left side wall 12 of the casket shown in Figure 1, a left side 44 of the front end wall and a left side 46 of the rear end wall. A left and right side front end wall thus together form the front end wall of the coffin, and likewise, a left side and a right side of the two canvases form the rear end wall 14 shown in Figure 1 Preferably, each left and right side end wall has the same dimensions, such that the seam formed by the adjoining edges of these parts is along the centerline of the coffin (see Figure 4). As will be explained subsequently, these wall portions are formed by a bending operation, and cuts 48 and 50 are provided on each canvas to achieve this bending operation, which will also be discussed below. The sides of each cut within the central strip 38 have edges 49 and 51 which are vertical, i.e., perpendicular to both the upper horizontal frame strip 34 and the lower frame strip 36. The upper and lower edges of each cut 48, 50 are tapered, as shown by the angled edges 52, 54 in Figure 2. Each of the edges 52, 54 interconnect a respective side 49, 51 with either the fold 58 on the upper frame strip 34 or the lower fold 56 on the lower frame strip 36. Figure 3 illustrates in more detail the cross section of the canvas 40 mentioned above. It is important to understand that the upper frame strip 34 is substantially within a plane 64 which is planar with the plane 65 of the lower frame strip 36. It is important that both the upper frame strip and the lower frame strip are in the same plane in order to form a single corner, as will be discussed later. As shown in Figure 3, an angled upper connecting strip 66 interconnects the upper frame strip 34 with the central strip 38. A similar angled lower connection strip 68 interconnects the lower frame strip 36 with the central strip 38. The edges 52, 54 tapered in this way are provided both in the angled upper connection strip 66 and in the angled lower connection strip 68. The coffin sheet 40 and thus the side walls of the coffin include a top canvas 62 which extends inwardly from the upper frame strip 34, and a flange 60 inclined downward to avoid a sharp edge surface. Both the lower canvas 62 and the downwardly inclined flange 60 are also shown in Figure 4. The canvas of each coffin wall also includes a substantially lower horizontal supporting canvas 72 which extends inwardly from the lowermost edge of the coffin. strip 36 of lower frame. The support canvas 72 in this manner provides support for the bottom 15 of the coffin box, which has a generally rectangular configuration. The coffin box bottom 15 is preferably a sheet metal sheet, as shown in Figure 4, which is supported on the supporting canvas 72 of the two side walls and the two end walls. Referring to Figure 4, the left side canvas has been folded to form the front left corner 70 and the opposite right side canvas has also been folded to form the right front corner 75. The left side front end wall and the right side front end wall of these canvases thus bent together form the front end wall 74. Figure 4 also illustrates the right rear corner 76 formed by folding the lower end of the right side canvas. To secure these left and right end walls together, a left side bead strip 80 is fixed, preferably by spot welding 82 as shown in Figure 5, to the inner surface of the left side end wall. A similar angled beaded strip 84 is likewise secured by welding 86 to the inner surface of the right side end wall. Each securing strip thus has a plate-like portion which is flat and spliced with the flat surface of the end wall, and an angled portion 90 which projects radially inwardly. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, two of these angled portions 90 can then enter into splice relationship, and the angled portions then can be secured by a plurality of front securing members 92. Preferably, the front secured members are a plurality of interbonding deformations. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that buttonblock interblocking deformations of the type shown in Figure 5 prevent any separation of the plates 90, since the "fungus" shape configuration of the deformations securely interlocks the plates 90 together . In a preferred embodiment, the interbonding deformations 92 can be formed with a folding tool of the type manufactured by Tech-Line Engineering Company in Warren, Michigan. Each deformation preferably has a depth in a direction perpendicular to the plate 90 of at least 0.76 cm (0.30 inches), with this reliably securing the plates together. The diameter of the notches is approximately 0.95 cm (3/8 inch), and each notch preferably has a depth of approximately 0.088 cm (0.035 inches). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other types of tools can be used to form this mechanical interconnection. Figure 4 in this manner shows the complete front wall of the box with the left lateral belaying member 80 mechanically fixed to the right side securing member 84. Most of the left side canvas is not shown in Figure 4. A similar left side securing strip, however, is fixed to an interior surface of the left rear end wall. Figure 4 also shows the seam 94 in the central portion of the back canvas, the seam being formed by the adjacent edges of a left side end wall and the right side end wall. As shown in Figure 1, at least part of this seam can be covered by a bracket 32. The entire seam, or at least the portion not covered by the bracket 32, is preferably covered with an outer decorative cover 96 , as shown in Figure 1. The cover 96 is thus placed on the seam 94 which is formed between the adjacent edges of each left side end wall and right side end wall. Figure 4 shows the bottom plate 15 being supported on the supporting canvases 72 of the walls. It should be understood that the left side safety strips and the right side securing strips of both the front end wall and the rear end wall can be fixed together, thereby forming the four walls of the coffin box 16, then the floor The plane can be dropped in its place and supported on the supporting canvases 72. To fix the position of the floor 15 with respect to the supporting canvases and to allow relatively this metal sheet floor 15 to support the weight of the deceased, another relatively large but conventional bending tool can be used to form the floor notches 98 which fixedly connect the floor 15 to the supporting canvases 72 of the walls. According to the method of the present invention, a left side sheet and a right side sheet each as shown in Figure 2 is preferably manufactured in an assembly plant from sheet metal having a thickness of at least 0.063. cm (0.025 inches) and preferably less than 0.081 cm (0.032 inches). A currently preferred wall thickness is approximately 0.071 cm (0.028 inches). Each of these canvases has a configuration as shown in Figure 3 and as mentioned above. The two canvases and the 15th floor can then be loaded with canvases and floors similar to a selected assembly location, where the canvases are folded as mentioned above to form the four corners of the coffin box 16. When shipped, the prefabricated canvases preferably have the insulating strips 80 and 84 already welded to the inner surface of the ends of the canvases, since preferably no welding operation needs to be performed to assemble the canvases at the selected assembly site. The folds 56, 58 formed in each canvas can be relatively shallow line notches which facilitate folding of the canvas along these folds. The upper and lower frame strips are located within a common plane such that the corner is connected at its upper end button. A side wall and the side portions of each end wall in this way are a homogeneous metal canvas, which can be stamped in the desired configuration, the insulating strips can be welded to it, then the canvases can be painted to provide the desired appearance. The top-to-bottom frame strips also desirably provide the sides of the casket with a desired depth in appearance, and provide the desired strength to the walls. The canvases folded in this way are arranged as shown in Figure 4, and the standard folding tool can be used to secure the left front side strip to the front right side strip and likewise secure the left rear side strip to the right rear side strip. As shown in Figure 5, a plurality of interbonding deformations 92 can thus be made along the length of the securing strips to secure these end wall portions together. Once all four sides of the canvas are assembled, the flat floor 15 can be dropped into place, and another folding tool can then be used to form the floor notches 98 to secure the floor 15 in position. The seam between the adjacent edges of each left side wall and the right side wall can then be covered with a suitable decorative cover 96, as shown in Figure 1. Next, the top part or cover 18 can be fixed to the box 16. of coffin and four corner moldings 26 can then be secured over the central strip portions of each corner then they can be secured over the central strip portions of each corner, thereby covering the adjacent edges 49, 51, which do not need to be soldiers or otherwise insured together. The brackets 28 and 38 can then be fixed to the walls, and the handles 24 and 32 can be attached to the brackets. A significant advantage of the present invention is that no welding is required at the assembly site to form the aesthetically pleasing casket. The coffin 10 has a relatively low cost but a highly desirable appearance. Significant savings are made by manufacturing the canvases 40 as mentioned above right away loading the canvases and floors to the selected assembly locations. This procedure represents, based on each coffin, a significant cost reduction compared to the shipping costs of a complete coffin box. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, While the securing strips are preferably folded together, other non-welding techniques can be used to mechanically connect these securing strips at the assembly site. It is also possible that the insurance strips and the canvas end walls can be manufacture from a unitary metal sheet. However, the insulating strips in the form of a structurally separated angle as described herein which are then fixed, preferably by welding to the end wall portions, are desired, for provide reliable structural interconnection.

The metal sheet is a highly preferred material for making the canvases which form the walls of the coffin box. A substitute material can nevertheless have a relatively low cost and still have a desired aesthetic appearance, and can also be foldable but after that keep its shape folded. The wall material must also present a high quality and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Other modifications can be made to the casket described herein and the method of making the coffin without W away from the spirit of invention. Said other modifications ~ will be obvious to those skilled in the art in view of this description. It should then be understood that the invention is not limited to the modalities described and in lieu thereof it should be understood that the scope of the invention should include all modalities within the following claims. •
