UNITED STATES PATENT OF CE,
WALTER J. KENNEDY AND. GEORGE YELLE, 0E INDIAN ORCHARD, MASSACHUSETTS.
MONUMENT.
Srmcificaticn of Letters Patent.
Patented June 29, 1920.
Application filed May 9, 1916. Serial No. 96,348.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WALTER J. KENNEDY 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 declare 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 deceased person.
Another object of this invention is to provide a monument which is hollow and carries a transparent panel for enabling cards bearing inscriptions and the like to be exhibited.
Still another object of the invention is to rovide 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. i
Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view on line 5-5 of Fig. 2.
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 shaft 4 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 the outer faces of these Walls immediately above the troughs 15 for a like purpose.
A suitable'spider designated by the character 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.
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 remaining in place. It will also be apparent that persons visiting the monument may open the outer door and place pictures, cards or the like in the rear of. the transparent panel and these may at all times be readily accessible for references.
What is claimed is:
A monument comprising a hollow shaft, a pyramidal shaped cap closing the upper end of said shaft and having an opening in its apex, a spider secured within the cap adjacent its largest end, a socketed member formed on said spider and depending there- 7 from and in vertical alinement with said opening and spaced a considerable dlstance therefrom to receive the end of a cross after passing through said opening, said socketed In testimony whereof We aflix our signamember having an opening in one Wall tures in presence of two Witnesses.
thereof, and 'a spring pressed pinslidably WALTER J KENNEDY. mounted in said shaft and entering the last GEORGE YELLE. named opening to hold the cross in said WVitnesses: 7 socketed member and to secure the cap to JAMES S. GILMO E,
said shaft. LYNDHURST AUNOHMAN.
