INVENTOR ATTORNEY UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE H. MELLON AND WILLIAM R. SMITH, OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA; SAID SMITH ASSIGNOR TO SAID MELLON; F. A. VICKREY ADMINISTRATOR OF SAID GEORGE I-I. MELLON, DECEASED.
GASKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 4, 1921.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, GEORGE H. MELLON and WILLIAM B. SMITH citizens of the United States, residing at iPittsburgh,in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Caskets, of which the follow ing is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved form of casket in which the casket proper is formed of a vitreous material such as glass which is reinforced by a frame.
The primary object of the invention is to accomplish the foregoing result in such a manner that metal will not be visible from the exterior of the casket.
An object of the invention is the novel manner of constructing the carrying frame so that it may be associated with or detached from the casket at will.
Besides the above, our invention is distinguished in the manner of associating the lid frame with the body frame so that the lid may have the proper movements.
lVith these and other objects in view, the invention will be better understood from the following detail description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings within.
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the casket.
Fig. 2 is a detail view thereof.
Again referring to the drawings the nu meral 1 designates the body of the casket with which cooperates the lid 2, the former being provided with a groove 3, arranged to receive the correspondingly shaped rib 4 on the lid.
The lid frame 5 consists of longitudinal extending bands 6 and traversing bands 7, each of the latter having its end portions secured to the band 6 and one end portion formed into a knuckle 8 for a purpose to be described later. The body frame 9 also con sists of a longitudinally extending band 10 and traverse bands 11, each of the latter having its end portions secured to the band 10 and one end portion formed into a knuckle 12 for the purpose now to be described.
Cooperating with the knuckles are extensible hinges 13 which consist of plates 14 and 15 pivoted together and having pivotal connection with the knuckles 8 and 12.
From this arrangement will be seen that the lid can be lifted bodily upwardly and in an arc of a circle for allowing the lid to have the proper movements, and further to allow the weight of the lid to properly seat the rib 4 within the groove 3 so that when cement is added a complete air tight joint will be accomplished.
At this point we wish to call attention to the fact that the interior decorating of the casket will completely hide these interior frames, and thusit will be seen that at no time is metal visible. For the purpose of properly supporting the lid in its arcuate movement a bead 16 is formed on the body 1 upon which is adapted to slide the rib 4-.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that we are able to run the casket and hinge the lid to the body without any metal being visible.
Having described our invention what we claim is 1. A glass casket comprising in combina tion a body having a continuous groove, a lid having a continuous rib adapted to fit in said groove, a lid frame supported interiorly of the lid, a body frame supported interiorly of the body and a hinge connection between the frames constructed to allow bodily vertical movement of the lid and arcuate movement thereof for the purpose set forth.
2. In combination a casket body provided with an exteriorly arranged rib, a lid, a frame fixed within the lid, a second frame fixed within the body and a connection be tween the frames whereby the lid may have slight vertical play and besides slide upon said body rib when the lid is thrown to open position.
In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
GEORGE H. MELLON. WM. B. SMITH.
