struction, of which the following is a full,
clear, and exact specification.
. Our invention relates to improvements in mausoleums and vaults.
The object of this invention is to provide amausoleum comprising a plurality of vaults, the vaults being constructed as chambers or compartments separate from one another, and each vault comprising one or 'more catacombs. By the use of the term. mausoleum herein,-we refer to a-structure, comprising a plurality of vaults, each vault being a separate compartment constructed to contam one or more catacombs, each catacomb being a smaller compartment for receiving the remains of the dead.
Another object of this invention is to pro- -videa singlestructure embodying a numnor of van bers adapted to ownership by ts arranged as individual chamindividual parties or families, and preferably arranged as se arate chambers orcompartments. havin oors or entrances accessible from a balcony' or corridor, the separate vaults being arranged in groups on each tier or floor of the mausoleum.
Our invention will be more fully understood from the following description. and
\ away to show in section -vaults the accompanying drawings, in whichigure 1 is an elevation of one preferred form of our invention, with'parts broken groups of vaults arranged on a plurality o tiers; Fig. 2 is a plan-view of ig. 1, showing a plurality of vaults arranged on the first tier, and also showing the arrangement ,of groups of vaults on a typical tier; F" ,3 is an ele- Fig. rand also showin the ventilating arrangement of on the fi'ernt tiers; Fig.
' are arranged on 4 is an enlarged vertical section through one vault of the mausoleum shown in Fig. 1,
showing the arrangement of the steel or iron transverse beams and channels; Fig. 5 is a vertical section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4:; Fig. 6 is a horizontal section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4.; and Fig. 7 is a detail showing our novel arrangement of coluinns and beams. I
Referring to Fig. 1,- the mausoleum is shown as having five tiers or floors. The vaults 1 are arranged on each tier preferably toward the outer sides thereof, the doors of each vault opening out on the balcony 2 or a suitable approaclrway on the floor on which it is disposed, The urns 3 the railing of the balcony, one urn being preferably provided for each vault, and positioned on the balcony at. a point corresponding to the position of the vault to which it belon The catacombs 4 are arranged in eac vault, and constructed with air spaces between the walls of the vault and the cata'comb construction. The catacombs 4 are preferablyconstructed in one or more groups in each vault, and air spaces 5 are provided between the bottom of the catacomb structure and the floor of the vault. Between the side walls of the vault and the sides of the catacomb struc'- ture are air spaces 6, and air-spaces 7 are provided between the rear of the catacomb structure and the rear wall of the vault. The catacomb structure extends to a point below the finished ceiling of each vault, so as to allowv for the air space 8 above the to of each group of catacombs.
he fresh air ducts 9 the partition of the vau ts, convey the fresh air to the radiators 10 positioned a short distance above the floor of each vault. The fresh air is supplied to the inflowing ducts preferably built in 9 at the;bottom of the mausoleum structure,
prgslrably by meansflof a chamber 11 dispc in the cellar and provided with a forcelpgmp or. blower to increase the natural it. The out-flowin ducts 12 communiate with" each vault y radiators 13 positioned slightly below the finished ceileum is secured. It will also the foundation described above.
. suitable. for. a
ing of each vault. The outfiowing ducts 12 extend to the top of the mausoleum structure, opening out to the atmosphere at the outlets 14. It will thus be seen that the fresh air is supplied to the vaults causing ample circulation within each vault and around each catacomb structure, and the air led oll by radiators l3 and outfiowing ducts 12, thus insuring a complete removal of mo ture'.
In the specific embodiment of our inventionlindicated in the drawing, we have provided for a chapel on one side of the space on ",ene floor between the groups of vaults, and, arranged suitable dressing apartments for the patrons or visitors of the mausoleum.
When our mausoleum structure is constructed of a considerable number of floors, we provide one or more elevators E for facilitating access to the upper floors, the
elevator doors being positioned to afiord ready approach to the balconies, and thus to the doors of the vaults.
The base of the mausoleum structure is built on a steel grillage resting on a spread reinforced concrete footing, or constructed onra pile foundation or caissons, cantalivers, cast iron bases, or combination of such foundations. The steel floor beams 15 and channels 17 are supported by the steel or cast iron upright columns 16 and rest upon The columns 16 are covered with concrete or terracotta, tiling, brick work or like material, orming protection againstfire and deterioration. The floor beams 15 and channels 17 are supported directly by the columns 16 by passing through the center of the columns and fastenedto top and bottom angles at each. tier height. As shown, the columns 16 are vertical angle and plate latticed1construction, and the floor beams 15 are of I beam construction, and the channels 17 are of channel construction. The concrete, brick, tiling, terra cotta, marble or slate, or likemater1al for the flooring is filled in between the beams 15 and channels 17, as by archingor the like, and thus supported by thefloor beams 15 or channels 17 forms the floor area of the balcony and between the front side and rearwalls. These walls are of stone, tiling, brick, concrete, terra cotta,,
marble or like material. B providing a steel construction forcarrying the i floors,
eat economy in constructing the mausobe seen that this construction and arrangement is of high durability, affords complete protection from fire; and is wellv adapted for ornamentation permanent resting place of the dead? We have discovered'that the combination oi a plurality of ind endent vaults arranged in groups on eac floor of the mausoleum, with the ooorsieading to-theindi- I vidual vaults accessible from a corridor or balcony, effects an arrangement which. is highly suitable for mausoleum purposes.
By the arrangement of balconies, withj'thel doors of the vaults opening thereon, and the within the sheltered portion of the mausoleum structure, and between the groups of vaults on each floor, afi'ordsan approach of suitable character for the purposes (16? sired. The doors opening to the vaults are made of metal with a glazed hinged grille for panel and havinga drip at bottom for preventin water entering the vaults. In the rear 0 the vaults are windows glazedwith v plain or colored glass.
Whereas, we have shown our 1nvent1on in one specific form, it will be understood that the specific construction illustrated may be varied and modified.
Havingthus described our invention, we declare that what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A unitary mausoleum structure, comprising a plurality of floors, said floors bemg providedwith balconies, a plurality of vaults disposed on said floors, a plurality of catacombs .in said vaults, each vault having a door opening on the balcony of the floor on.
