new sale IsAAo CHARLES, or ALLEGHENY crrr. PENNSYLVANIA.
Letters PatentNo. 114,761, dated May 16, 1871.
IMPROVEMENT IN CEMENTS FOR'COAT'ING AND SEALING COFFINS, 8w.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, ISAAC CHARLES, of the city and county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented'a certain new and useful Oement for Hermetically Sealing Bulial Gaskets and Ooffins ;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
The nature of my invention consists in mixing beeswax and asphaltum together so as to form a hard, flexible, and adhesive cement for closing the joints, coating the interior and exterior surfaces of, and hermetically sealing burial caskets and coffins.
' To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe more fully the process of making and using the same.
I take a good article of beeswax, about one (1) part, and a good article of asphaltum, about fifteen (15) parts. I melt, in a suitable vessel, the asphaltum, and as soon as it is completely liquid add the beeswax, so stirring and mixing the articles together as to form one thoroughly-mixed and homogeneous mass. The stirring of the melted ingredientsshould be continued after the vessel has been removed from over the fire, and until the mass has become sufficiently congealed to prevent any separation of the two ingredients.
In applying the cement to the joints of cofl'ins, or coating their surfaces, and for sealing on the lids,-I melt the cement,and, with a suitable vessel, pour it, while hot, in, on, along, and over the joints of the coffin until every joint and crevice in it is covered and perfectly closed and cemented.
The surfaces ofthe casket or coi'fin are coated with the cement by pouring the meltedand hot cement on the surface to be coated and then rubbing and smoothing it down with a hot metal roller or other suitable tool or device.
The lid of the casket or cofiin is sealed on its body by pouringthe cement while hot along and around on the top edges of the sides and ends of the body of the casket or coffin, and then securing the lid to its place by means of screws or nails.
It would be of advantage to have a groove made in the top edges of the sidesand ends'of the casket or coffin for the purpose of receiving and holding the cement;
but the lid may be securely sealed on the body withu out such groove.
The hereinbefore-described cement being hard, flexh ible, and very adhesive, and also impervious to air and water, burial-caskets and coflins constructed of forth.
ISAAO- CHARLES. Witnesses:
