IMPROVEMENT IN MLDS FOR CEMENT BURlAL-CASES.

Specifioation 'forming art of Letters Patent N0. 133,684, dated Dccember 3, 1872.

T0 all wh'om z't may concern:

Be it known that I, PLATT B. VIELE, of

4R0chester, in the oounty of Monroe and Staate of New York, hzwe invented. a certain Improved Flask for Molding Burial-Oases and Similar Artioles, 0f which the following is a sp ecifioation:

The natura of my invention consists in a -peculiarly-conslzructed mold 01 flask, in which die case, which is preferably made of hydraulic ceuient, is formed.

Figure l is a vertioal longitudinal section of 1 the lnold after being filled. Fig. 2 is an inverted view of the sanie, having the sole-plate A removed. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the ease with the oap O. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the latter.

-A represents the sole-plate of the fiask or mold; B and B, the end sections ofthe core;

D und D, the side seotions. E, E, and. E and F, F, and F and G, G, and G constibe locked together ab the .corners by ordinary snap-flask hooks. The outer. Walls are as much higher than the core as the thickness desired for tlle bottom c of the c2tse, as shown in Fig.- l. The side am]. end walls of the core, B and B am]. D and D, are divided vertically 011 a bevel, as seen'atf, Fig. 2, which permits seotion D 011 eit:her side and sect ion B 011 either others. B and B are provided with a ledge, b, for the support of the outer end of E, E,

' und E and F, F, and- F, their opposite ends being supported by the rests d, Fig. l. The central sections G, G, and G rest; upon the rihs q: 'lhe bottom sections are provided with handles h.

After the mo1d is fi1led there is a follower board or plante, represented by the dotted lines n, Fig. l, placed on the flask, which is then turned over or inverted, and 'the sole-plate A is removed, which re1eases the sections of the core anti the outer alls of the flask. Seotion G is. then removed, after which G am]. G may be partia-lly drawn in am}. lifted. ofl. E

and.F are also drav vn centrally and lifted out. Then E and E a-11d F and. F are drawn away from the sides and ends and removed. The

inner end of section D on either side is then Swung away from the cement and removed.

Seotions D are then taken out, when the ends B and B may be similarly removed. The outer alls H and I may be removed in the same manner as any ordinary snap-flask.

The object of making the mold-core in soveral parts, as shown, is that a solid core with thata amount of surfa-ce could not be withdrawn fron1 the thin molded oase without tearing the bottom c up With it. Soction G, being sma1l, exposes but litt1e surface to the cement, and therefore can be readily lifted out, am]. each 0f the others may then be moved. more or less 0n the surface 0t' the green oement, which permits them L"O be removed witliout lifting or otherwise disturbing the cenieni; under them. 'lhe side walls of the core and flask may be started in the same manner.

It Will be seen that this flask provides fo1' moldin g the case in an inmrted position, which is bolieved 170 be about the 0nly praat-ical way of producing it when made of hydraulio cement 01' similar material, as such has to be tamped. The sides and bottom are only accessible in this position in a ma-nner 130 form or fill the sides first, then the bottom. The whole material is thereby thoroughly united in one homogeneous mass, leaving 110 sezuns 01 slack places in the cement. end 130 be removed without difstutbing the I olaim aus my inventionl. A mold for oement burial-cases, made in sections B, B, D, D, E, E, E, F, F, F, andpurposes shown am]. described.
