Description

N. PETERS, FHOTO-LITHCGRAPMER, WASHINGTON, u c.
UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIcEc GEORGE SHILLING, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN BURIAL-CASES.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 107,552, dated September 20, 1870.
I, GEORGE SHILLING, of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented a new and Improved Burial-Oase, of which the following is a specication:
Nature md Object ofthe Intention.
lhis burial-case has a hinged cover, which shuts down upon the top edge ot' the case, coverin g a hinged glazed lid. The lid closes down l upon an india-rubber gasket, which makes it Description of the Accompany/ng Drawing.
Figure 1 is a perspective View. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section on the line x x, Fig. 1.
General Description.
A is the body of the case, which is shown with rounded ends. The precise form is a matter of taste and not of importance so far as the subject-matter of the invention is concerned. The ends are made of half-inch stulf, steamed, bent, and laid double with lapjoint upon the side portions. On the upper edge is a rabbet, u, to receive the glazed lid B, which shuts down flush with the top of the case A, compressing a gasket, b, of india-rubber, which seals the case.
(l C are spring-bolts, either mortise or iiush.
The rings c form handles for lifting the lid B, and spring back into their sockets when released The handle and bolt are so connected that one spring answers for both, and the lifting of the handle withdraws the bolt.
The cover D is hinged to the burial-case, the hinges being,'preferably, double, so that the standing part d of the hinge is attached to the body of the case, and affords a place of y attachment for the movable leaves e c', to which the cover D and lid B are respectively attached.
E is a mortise-lock, which secures the cover.
The internal upholsterin g arrangements are according to taste.
It is desirable that a burial-case should possess several features besides the mere capacity for holding a corpse.- It should allow the corpse to be exposed to view wit-hout exposing the body to the air. It should also permit, when the condition of the body is suitable, the body to be handled, either by the care-takers or the surviving friends, for decent adjustment after being conveyed to a church or to a place of interment. It should be air-tight,Q so as to prevent the escape of noxious effiuvia. It should not be liable to upset when the cover is thrown back when the burial-case is sitting upon trcstles or stools. These requirements are all fully met in my burial-case, and in no other with which I am acquainted.
