IMPROVEMENT IN COFFIN-PLATES.
closed; Fig. 2, a perspective view of the plate open; and in Fig. 3, a longitudinal vcentral section open.
This invention relates to an improvement in coin-pIa-tes, the object being to combine with the inscription-plate a second plate closing onto the first, constructed to receive a photograph or other article which it may be desirable to inclose upon the coffin 5 and it consists in combining a second plate or cover with the inscription-plate, in the manner as more fully hereinafter set forth.
A is the inscriptionplate, constructed with a panel, B, in the center, upon which the inscription is engraved. C is the second plate or cover, constructed to close down over the panel B, and by preference constructed with a projection, a., upon one 'end to extend beneath a portion, D, of the plate, as seen in Fig. 3. The plate A is also constructed with a mortise, d, so that the plate C may be set upright, as in Fig. 2, the projection a extending into the mortise d to support it in that position; or the plate C may be hinged to the principal plate. The plate C is constructed with a recess upon its under side, into which may be inserted a photographic likeness or other article which it may be desired to inclose upon the coiiin, and secured in vplace by any suitable device.
In order to preserve the inclosure from the atmosphere I prefer to form a packing between the two plates, and this is best done by casting the lower plate C with a channel through and around the plate of little less dimensions than the plate C, and through this channel from the back side introduce by preference tin-foil, or may be other material, a groove having been previously formed in the plate A, so that the material forced into the groove in the plate A will extend through and lill the channel in the plate C, thus forming a packing to perfectly protect the inclosure. In order to form the groove in the plate A it is necessary that bars or connections should be left at intervals between the central portion and outside.
The plate C when closed, as in Fig. 1, may be secured by a screw or other device.
I claim as my -invention- The combination of the'inscription-plate A and covering-plate C, substantially as and for the purpose speciiied, and with or without the packing between the two.
