MAUSOLEUM CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 8, 1920.
Application filed November Q1, 1917. Serial No. 203,265.
To all whom it may concern:
' Be it known that we, WILLIAM E. HUGHES and JAMES B. KING, citizens of the United States, residents of Cl de, county of Sandusky, and State of hi0, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mausoleum Constructions, of which the following is a specification, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which we have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.
Our invention relates to mausoleum constructions which are designed for the reception of a plurality of bodies and par ticularly to an economical and permanent construction thereof and to the ventilating and drainage systems of such constructions. The invention is designed to provide a sightly, economical and permanent structure and to ventilate and drain the walls, lobbies and crypts of such constructions in a much more thorough and satisfactory manner than in any previous construction of which we are aware. Our invention effectively secures sanitary desiccation of bodies by natural means without the necessity of using any disinfecting material except possibly in special instances, as hereinafter fully explained.-
The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail certain means embodying our invention, the disclosed means, however, constituting but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be employed.
In said annexed drawings:
Figure 1 represents a transverse vertical section of our improved mausoleum, taken in the plane indicated by the lines I-I, Fig. 3; Fig. 2 represents a horizontal section, taken in the plane indicated by the lines IIII, Fig. 1; Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section taken in the planes indicated by the lines III-III, Fig. 1; Fig. 4 represents a longitudinal vertical section taken in the plane indicated by the lines IV IV, Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 represents a perspective elevation and section, upon an enlarged scale, of an improved form of ventilator and moisture-eliminating means forming part of our improved mausoleum structure.
In said annexed drawings, there is indicated a granite, marble, stone or other suitable Wall construction for our improved mausoleum comprising the front wall 1, the rear wall 2 and the side walls 3, surmounted by a top member 4 constructed of one or more pieces, as.desired, the whole being suitably supported upon a concrete or other suitable foundation, as shown. The roof 4 is a locking device that ties the whole build- 29, the whole being shown in detail and forming the subject-matter of our pending application for U. S. Letters Patent on devices for preventing moisture deposit on windows, Serial No. 203,264.
There is provided in our improved mausoleum a series of superimposed inclosed crypts 7, there being shown in the exempli- 'fication of our invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings two oppositely disposed series of such crypts separated by thelobby portion 5, an entrance to the latter of which is afforded in the front of the structure through the door 6. The floor of the lobby is indicated by the ordinal 8. The ceiling of the lobby is indicated by the ordinal 16 supported upon the members 15 forming the top of the uppermost crypts 7 and above the opening 15 formed between said members 15, member 16 being formed in itsrear end wall with openings 16 communicating with the upper channel 30 and thence to the atmosphere. Between the structure top 4 and the members 15 and 16 is formed a space 9, exit from which to the atmosphere is aflorded through the openings 10 in the side walls 3. As described in United States Letters Patent No. 949,771, issued to ourselves and Frank W. Hall, the inclosed receiving crypts 7 are independently ventilated, being provided, respectively, with air inlet openings 11 and outlet openings 12, said inlet openings 11 being outlet openings 12 being located in the opposite side of the crypt, the outlet openings being located in a horizontal plane near the top of the crypts and the inlet openings being located in a horizontal plane near the bottom of the crypts. Said inlet openings 11 communicate with chambers 13, which in turn communicate through wall openings 14 with the atmosphere. Said outlet openings 12 communicate with the space 9.
By the construction hereinbefore described, it will be noted that wehave, provided separate and independent systemsof ventilation and of drainage for the interior of thewalls, each separate crypt, and the lobby. Particular attention is directed to the satisfactory ventilation and drainage effected between the walls and crypts. Furthermore, we have provided by means of the drain portions 27 means for any necessary draining of the chambers 13. As described and claimed in detail in our pending application for U. S. Letters Patent on wall constructions for mausoleums, Serial No. 203,266, we have provided the inner surface of the side and end walls with a mastic coating to form a smooth surface, over which is applied a sizing coat to form an air and moisture proof'surface. Our invention results in a very satisfactory ventilation and drainage of all parts of the mausoleum, preventing putrefaction of the contained bodies and providing for the sanitary desiccation thereof by reason of the elimination of bacteriological propagation which requires moisture.
lVhat we claim is:
v 1. In a mausoleum, the combination with suitable side and end walls, a series of inclosed receiving crypts, and a roof, said series of crypts being removed from said walls to form an air space therebetween, said latter space communicating with the atmosphere near its top andbottom, a main drain disposed beneath the ground and around the mausoleum structure,,a drainage duct connecting the bottom of said wall space with the said main drain, a drainage duct connecting the bottom of each crypt with a trap drain positioned below the ground and between the foundation walls, and a duct connected with said trap drain leading downward and outward for discharging its drainage into the ground at the rear of the mausoleum structure and at a suitable distance below the surface of the ground.
2. In a mausoleum, the combination with suitable side and end walls, a series of superimposed inclosed crypts, a roof and a lobby, said series of crypts being removed from said wall so as to form an air space therebetween, a main drain disposed beneath the ground and around the mausoleum structure, a draina e duct connecting the bottom of said wa space with said main drain, a drainage duct connecting the bot tom of the lobby with said main drain, a drainage duct connecting the bottom of each crypt with a trap. drain positioned below the ground .and between the foundation walls of the structure, and a drainage duct connected with said trap drain leading downward and outward for dischargin its drainage into the ground at the rear 0 the mausoleum structure and at a suitable distance below the surface of theground.
Signed by us, this 10th day of Nov., 1917.
WILLIAM E. HUGHES. JAMES B. KING.
