WALTER J. KENNEDY AND GEORGE YELLE, 0F INDIAN ORCHARD, MASSACHUSETTS.
MONUMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J an. 39, 491%.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WALTER J. KEN-- NEDY and GEORGE YELLE, citizens of the United States, residing at Indian Orchard, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Monuments; and we do hereby deplare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in monuments and is particularly adapted for exhibiting pictures and the like of a person.
Another object of this invention is to provide a monument which is hollow and carries a rotatable carrier for cards bearing inscriptions and the like.
Still another object of the invention is'to provide a monument which may be easily and cheaply constructed and is preferably of hollow metal so as to lighten the construction of such devices.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side view in'elevation of a monument constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5*is a horizontal sectional view on line 55 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the rotatable carrier for the cardsand pictures to be exhibited.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the base of the device comprising the side walls 2 provided with the horizontal walls 3 and this base is preferably arranged to form a series of steps as illustrated in the drawings. The shaft designated by the numeral 4 comprises the side walls 5, the rear wall 6 and the front wall 7 which front wall is formed with the sight opening 8 which is surrounded by a suitable angle bracket 9 for supporting the doors of the device. A suitable cap 10 is secured to the upper end of the shaft4 and is provided with the central opening 11 through which the stem or standard 13 of the cross 14 extends. Secured to the outer faces of the walls 5, 6 and 7 of the shaft 4 near its lower end are the troughs 15 for holding flowers, plants and the like and the chambers or receptacles 16 are secured to thefouter faces of these walls immediately above the troughs 15 for a like purpose.
A suitable spider designated by the charactor 17 is provided and supports the central socket 18, which is provided with an aperture in which the pin 19 is slidable, the outer end of which extends through the rear wall of the shaft 4 and is provided with a knob 20. A suitable coil spring 21 surrounds the pin 19 and normally urges the same inwardly so that its inner end extends into a notch 22 formed in the lower end of the standard 13.
Hingedly secured to the front wall 7 of the shaft 4 as at 23 is the outer door 24 which closes the sight opening'and hinged to the upper bracket 9 surrounding this sight opening on the interior is the glass door designated generally by the numeral 25 comprising the channeled frame in which the edges of the glass panel 27 are secured. It will thus be seen that the interior of the device will be protected against the elements by both the glass door and the outer door 24.
The exhibitor for the device consists of the drive shaft 28 on which the hubs 29 are slidably mounted. The ends of this shaft are journaled in the side walls of the'shaft 4 and one of said ends extends beyond the side wall and has secured thereto a crank 30 by means of which the exhibitor is rotated. Extending radially from the hubs 29 are the arms 31, the extreme outer ends of which terminate in suitable loops 32 through which the rods 33 are slidable and the inner ends of these rods are formed with the loop 34 as clearly shown in Fig. 6. The outer ends of the rod 33 carry suitable rings 35 to which the ends of the cotiperating' bars are secured. Extending between the radial arms on one of the hubs are the rods 36, the adjacent ends of which are provided with loops similar to the loops 32 and 34 so as to render the distance between the arms adjustable and connecting the arms which are in parallel relation and extending between the hubs are the bars or rods 38 provided with the loop 39 so that the hubs may be slid longitudinally on the shaft 28 and the length of the distance between said hubs increased or decreased to fit cards of varying sizes.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that in use'the device is set up in the manner illustrated in Fig. 2 and a suitable concrete filler 40 placed in the lower section of the base 1 to insure the proper positioning of the device and it remainmg in place. The persons visiting the monument may open the outer door 24 and'upon turning the crank 30 cause the exhibitor to revolve, thereby bringing pictures and various notes regarding the deceased in sight, thereby renewing and refreshing the memory. 'to the adjustability of the exhibitor, it will readily be seen that the sizes of the cards,
Due
.as will fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is 1. A monument comprisin a base formed with a plurality of stri s 0 metal secured at their edges by angle ars, a hollow shaft emme extending upwardly from the base consist ing of sheets of metal secured at their edges by angle bars, the front wall of the hollow shaft provided with a transparent window, a transversely extending shaft rotatable immediately in the rear of the window, slidablehubs on said rotary shaft, adjustable arms on the hubs, and bars adjustably connected at the ends of the arms and adapted to be adjustable with relation to each other to fit cards of different sizes and a cap a the upper end of the shaft.
2. A monument comprising a base, a hollow shaft extending upwardly from the base, the front wall of said shaft being provided with a transparent window, atransversely extending shaft rotatable immediately in the rear of the window, slidable hubs on said rotary shaft, adjustable arms on the hubs and bars connected at the ends of the arms and adapted to be adjusted with relationto each other to fit cards of varying sizes.
In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
