BURIAL VAULT..

Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented (int. 316, 1211?.
Application filed May 10, 1917. Serial No. 167,651.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, LACELL O. DICKIN- son, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Elmira, county of Chemung, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burial-Vaults, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to burial vaults and more particularly to the joint between the receptacle and cover.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a joint that will be permanently tight and so formed that when the cover is applied it will readily assume its proper position without liability of dislodging the joint compound.
Other objects and the features of novelty will be apparent from the following "description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a vault embodying the invention, a portion being shown in section; and
Fig. 2 is an end elevation with a portion shown in section.
Referring to the drawings, 10 indicates a concrete receptacle which may be reinforced, in any preferred manner, as by the ordinary wire mesh indicated at 11. The cover is indicated at 12 and may also be reinforced which slopes downwardly toward the inte-' rior of the receptacle. At a higher level 2 than the surface 17 is an inner joint surface 18 and from the surface 18 a surface 19 slopes outwardly to surface 17.
The cover 12 has surfaces 20' and 21 which match with the surfaces 17 and 18, respecbetween which a suitable sealing compound 24 may be arranged. For this purpose I prefer a hardening compound of asphaltum and powdered asbestos made up to. a gummy consistency. I also place this compound between the surfaces 18 and 21.
The cover 12, between the surfaces 20 and 21 is preferably formed so as to provide a cavity or air space 25 between the abutting pairs of joint surfaces. Lifting rings or hooks 26 may be provided on the cover 12.
In sealing up the Vault, the joint compound is applied to the surfaces 17 and 18 as well as to groove 22. The inwardly sloping arrangement of surface 17 securely retains the compound which is applied there to and the groove 22 retains the compound on surface 18. When the cover is lowered onto the receptacle 10, the sloping arrangement of surface 19 insures that the flange on the cover will readily pass. over the upwardly projecting flange, on the receptacle 10 without dislodging the sealing compound on surface 18, and also guides the cover to its proper position. Furthermore, the flange on the cover is prevented from dislodging the sealing compound from surface 17.
Having described my invention what I claim is 1. A burial vault comprised of a concrete.
receptacle having an open top, the upper edge of the receptacle having inner and outer surfaces adapted to recewe a sealing material, said inner surface being above said outer surface, the outer surface being sloped downwardly toward the interior and there being a downwardly sloping surface between said innerand outer surfaces, and a cover formed with surfaces matching with said inner and outer surfaces and a surface opposed to said downwardly sloping surface and spaced therefrom when the cover is in position.
2. A burial vault comprised of a concrete receptacle and a covertherefor, the receptacle having an open top and provided on its upper edge with inner and outer surfaces adapted to receive a sealing material, said inner surface being above said outer surface, the latter surface being sloped downwardly toward'the interior and there being a surface sloping outwardly from said inner'surface to said outer surface, and the cover being formed with surface matching with said inner and outer surfaces and therebetween spaced from said outwardly sloping surface, and the cover and receptacle being formed witlrtongue and groove in the inner of the pairs. of matchin surfaces.
In testimony whereof affix my signature.
LACELL o. DICKINSON.
