OTTO V. MARTIN, OF FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS.
PROCESS OF PROMOTING BODY PRESERVATION IN MAUSOLEUMS.
To all whom may concern:
Be it known that I, O'r'ro V. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Smith, in the county of Sebastian and State of Arkansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Processes of Promoting Body Preservation in Mausoleums, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my present invention is the provision of an eflicient process of preserving bodies in mausoleums, and the invention consists in the process as hereinafter described -and definitely claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, hereby made a part hereof:
Figure 1 shows part of a mausoleum equipped for the practice of my invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail section taken in a plane at right angles to Fig. 1, as indicated by line 2-2 in Fig. 1.
Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in both views of the drawings.
The mausoleum preferably includes crypts or cells, separated by partitions 11, and connected through traps 17 with a drain pipe 14: that leads to a sewer pipe 15, as shown in Fig. 1.
As before indicated, the present invention contemplates a novel method of producing a germicide4 or a preservative agent for the cadaver contained within each cell or crypt. In this connection, I provide one Wall of the crypt or cell with a recess 20 which by preference is arranged or provided in the head of the crypt or cell. A metallic receptacle 21 is placed in the recess 20 and contains a suitable formalin. Also placed within the receptacle 21 is a capsule containing a substance the addition of which to the formalin will produce a powerful dis- Specication of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 9, 1918. Serial No. 249,159.
infecting gas. By preference the capsule, which is made of gelatin or equivalent material, is charged with permanganate of potash, and the capsule is made of such thickness that a considerable time is required for the dissolving thereof, so that a period of time, say twenty-four hours, will elapse between the placing of the charged capsule in the formalin and the mixture of the permanganate of potash with the formalin. From this it follows that after a body is placed in a cell or crypt, a capsule charged as stated is deposited in the formalin in the receptacle 21, and it will also be understood that the formalin is placed in the receptacle 21, by preference, immediately before the placing of a body in the cell or crypt.
By reason of the thickness of the capsule it is obvious that the formalin gas is not generated until after the crypt or cell is closed, and with the fact borne in mind that there is no communication between the crypt and the atmosphere, the elimination of fumes and objectionable odors in the vicinity of the mausoleum is assured, thus rendering the system very sanitary. Of course, the gas generated in the crypt or cell acts as a germicide and a preservative agent upon the cadaver contained therein.
What I claim is The process of promoting the preservation of a body in a mausoleum cell which consists in placing in a receptacle open to the interior of the cell a liquid containing a capsule soluble in said liquid and containing, in turn, substance which when released by the dissolution of the capsule and commingled with the liquid will form a preservative and disinfecting gas.
