BURIAL-V'AULT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 3, 1914:.
Application filed November 28, 1913. Serial No. 803,499.
To all whom it ma concern.-
, Be it known t at 1, WILLIAM C Ra n-f u'rLLEn, citizen of the United States, resid-' ing at Atlanta, in the county of Logan and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burial- Vaults, of which the followin'g is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in burial vaults, and the object is to pro vide a portable vault, whichconsists of two sections: a base section upon which the casket is. supported, and a cover section which isreceived in the base section.
The invention consists of still other novel features of construction and combinations of partswhich will be hereinafter more fully described and pointedout in the claim.'
, I11 the accompanying drawin s: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation; an Fig. 2 1s a cross sectional view. Fig. 3 1s a longitudinal vertical sectional view.
A represents the top of the 'vault, and B the bottom or tray section.
The upper section is adapted to be placed in the bottom of the vault, which would be either of dirt, gravel, or cement. The tray is preferably provided with anelongated opening in the bottom thereof, as indicated at 1,,and withside and end flanges 2, 2.
Extending transversely of the tray and from the bottom thereof are a plurality of straps 3, 3. These straps are oifse't or raised, so that they extend above the 'bottom of the tray and upon the straps the casket is mounted,so that the casket does not come in contact with the'bottom of the rave.
The top of the vault A is preferab y made arch-shaped, although the shape of the top is immaterial, and is closed at both ends. Formed at the bottom along the sides and I 'ends of the topare flanges 4, 4 for the top tom section,
of the tray section B. Extending about the body. are ribs or reinforcing members 5, 5.
The flanges 2 of the bottom of the tray B extend above the bottom flanges 4. of the top, so that the two members are connected together, and there is no danger of one being displaced from the other. Furthermore, if desired, the top member canbe covered with cement, and the reinforcin members 5 will cause the cement to be ield upon ,the top. The cement enterin r between the flanges 2 and the top 3 wil cause the two members to be connected together;
Handles 6, 6 are formed on the to mem ber, so that'it can be lowered into t e base member after the casket has been placed in position upon straps or supports 3.
The supporting of'the casket upon the straps 3 prevents the water from rising inrising above the level of the tray, that is, the air inside of the top .will keep the water from. rising up over the coflin or casket, as
the top is air-tight.
I claim:
A burial vault comprising a top and hotthe bottom section provided with an open bottom, and flanges formed on the sides and ends thereof, straps spanning'the opening of the bottom section upon which the casket is supported, said top 'section adapted to be received on the bottom section and within the flanges which prevent longitudinal and lateral movement of the top member.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signa ture, in the presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM G. REINMILLER.
Witnesses: J. A. KING,
, J. L. PERREY.
