Grass CASKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 4, 1921.
Application filed September 11, 1917. Serial No. 190,838.
To all'whom it mayconcern Be it known that I, GEORGE H. MELLON, a citizen of the United States, residing at 1220 Filbert street, Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Glass Caskets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvement in glass caskets and has for its primary object to simplify and to reduce the cost of manufacture of an article of this character.
An object of the invention is to so construct and arrange the parts of the frames that the ornamentation of the casket will be increased and in such a manner that the metal used can be reduced thus allowing more of the interior decorations to be visible through the walls of the casket which in this particular instance are made of glass.
Besides the above my invention is distinguished in the use of the lid frame and a body frame that may be formed from a single piece of material thus reducing the cost of manufacture and the time required to attach the frames to the lid and body of the casket.
With these and other objects in view the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in con nection with the accompanying drawings wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of the casket.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view showing the lid in one of its open positions.
Fig. 3 is a perspective of lid frame.
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are detailed views of the handle construction.
Again referring to the drawings 1 and 2 designates the body and lid of the casket which are composed of glass having a tongue and groove connection 3 with each other so as to accomplish an air tight connection with eachother when the lid is placed on the body. The lid 2 has connected thereto a one piece frame 4 consisting of a longitudinal band 5 placed around the lid and having laterally extending clips 6 of any suitable configuration that may be easily bent over the top of the lid as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The binding action between the band 5 and the lid and the extension of the clips over the lid effectively hold the lid frame against movement. One edge of the band 5 is formed into a rib or bead 7 and arranged directly over this bead are openings 8 and 9.
At this point I wish to call attention to the fact that this frame may be cast into one piece or stamped and welded at any suitable polnt such as at one corner of the frame.
The body frame 11 consists of an angle iron 12 extending completely around and inclosing the lower edge of the body of the casket with a result that the bottom of the body 1 is prevented from engaging the surface upon which the casket rests. Arms 13 extending from the angle iron completes the frames, and to give the proper amount of r gidity to the arms 13 each arm and a portlon of the angle iron is formed with a rib 14:. This rib is only used when the bands are made of very light material. Passing completely around the upper portion of the body in parallel relation with the band 5 is a second hand 15 having an arcuate depressum or groove 16, which is adapted to receive the bead 7 Thus it will be seen that the lid frame is free to rock upon the body frame while knuckles 17 formed on the band 15 pass through the openings 8 and 9 and have a detachable connection with the rib 7. By this arrangement the lid can be quickly detached from the body and arranged in the position shown in Fig. 2 where it may be used to support the floral decorations, and besides the lid is supported in a manner to allow the proper engagement of the tongue of the lid within the groove of the body due to the particular form of hinge which allows slight vertical play between the lid frame and the body frame.
It is to be, understood that the structural I embodiment of the invention as a whole and its various features as shown are merely illustrative and not restrictive, since I am well aware that many of the details of the construction can be widely varied without departing from the spirit of the invention. 1 therefore do not desire to be limited in these particulars or in any. other, except as set forth in the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim is:
1. In combination, a body frame including a band encircling the body and formed with an arcuate depression of a length approximately equal to the length of the body and a lid frame including a band formed with a continuous cylindrical head of a length-approximately equal to the length of the body and seated in the depression there being knuckles formed 011 one of the mentioned bands and detacha bly engaging an enlarged opening in the other mentioned band.
2. In combination with the lid and body of a casket a lid band passing around the lid and provided with a continuous bead extending approximately the length of one side of the band, said band being further provided with spaced openings, a body band having a depression receiving said bead and a pair of knuckles on the body bands passing through said openings in a manner to allow a loose connection between the bead 15 the casket, a body band having a depression 20 receiving the entire length of said bead and a connection between the frames whereby the bead may rotate in the depression, the bead allowed lateral play with relation to the depression or the bead entirely disconnected 25 from the depression.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
GEORGE H. MELLON.
