AENA LO'UISA REIEDfr-.NS AND ANDUL@ MARIEE HXTZERT, OF ST. LOUIS,
MISSOURI.
iaaaeeo.
T0 all whom it' may; coi/tecra:
it known that we, linnn Lonisa RrrnnaNs and ANDULo tanni llirannr, citi- Eens of the United s, and residents of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Grave Linings, of which the following` is a specification containing a full, clear, and enact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
Our invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly described and distinctly claimed.
The object of our invention is to provide an improved ornamental, or linishing, lining for graves; which shall be of a light, simple, and non-expensive construction, adapted toy be quickly unfolded and placed in position in a grave, in order 'to ornament the walls of the same, and present them in a more pleasing form to the eyes of the mourners and spectators, at burial services.
ln the drawings,
Fig. l is a top plan-view of an ordinary grave, having our invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same, taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.
Fig. 3 is a detail inverted sectional planview of one corner of our grave lining, opened out as when being used7 the section being taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a detail view of the head-end of one of a number of vertical holding and stretching-rods, made use of in applying the invention to a grave.
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but illustrating a modification of our invention.
Fig. 6 is detail top-plan view of one corner of the modification. y
Fig. 7 is a horizontal section, taken on the line 7-7 of Fig. 5, and showing one corner of the modiiication, and
Fig. 8 is a side-elevation of a blank for the side or end of the modiiied vertical liningwall and finishing-flap.
The numeral l designates a side-section of lining-material, which may be made of any appropriate material, such as paper or cloth, of any color, and it should be of sufficient size to completely cover and line one of the vertical sides ofv the grave 7, when placed and supported therein by the means hereinafter described.
ilca'tion of Letters Patent.
i'aten'ted Aug., 22,
Application filed February 9, 1922. Serial No. 535,188.
There are, of course, two of said sidesections l, and there are two end-sections 2; the side-sections being placed in the grave opposite each other, and the two end sections being located in the grave opposite each other, at opposite ends of the grave.
Preferably, the side and end sections are formed integral, by folding a long strip or bolt of material, to form a rectangular body having a size to fit snugly within the grave and cover and ornament the vertical walls of the latter. f
At the upper edge of the lining is a finishing-flap 3, which is formed by turning or folding outwardly a marginal portion at the top of the side and end sections, and gathering or ruiing the material at the union of the corner-portions, (or otherwise arranging suitable material) to provide an ornamental rosette or construction 9 at the corners of said finishing-nap portions.
rl'he said rectangular grave-lining body is also preferably made with vertical cornerhems or rod-pockets 4l, by sewing or otherwise fastening the material together, as shown (for instance) in Fig. 3.
Said rod-pockets e are provided to receive vertical holdingand stretching rods 5, the lower ends of which are pointed, vso that they may readily enter or be driven in the earth at the bottom of said grave 7, as near as possible to the corners thereof.
The upper portions of said rods 5 f are provided with a laterally-proj ecting holdingarm 6, from the outer ends of which sharpcned spikes or prongs 6a extend downwardly, to enter the earth at the top of the grave, and some distance therefrom, and rest upon the underlaid finishing-naps 3, wherever required, and especially at the corners, to securely hold down the said ornamental corner-pieces 9.
The modified construction.
ln Figs. 5 to 8, inclusive, l have shown a modified construction of the grave lining, in which the side and end sections, and the finishing-flaps, are made of thick paper or card-board separately formed as blanks, as shown in Fig. 8.
The blank shown in Fig. 8 may be long enough for the side-sections 1, or it can be cut shorter, to provide the end-sections 2, the construction of both side and end sections being the same, except as to length.
v l0, to receive the Said vsections are preferably provided with scored or indented parallel longitudinal lines 14: and l5, the iirst ol wiich is provided to guide the user in oldin` outwardly the integral finishing-Hap 3,' as well as enabling1 the said flap to be folded liet against the body of the section, in packing' and shipping'. The second line l5 is provided as merely a folding line, to enable the section' to be folded into smaller space, in packing and shipping, and in handling, before the sections are located in the grave. The adjacent vertical edges of the side and end sections are located and held in vertical n'rooves, formed by parallel vertical langes l2 on tubular pockets da, in which the previously-describedholding and stretching vrods are located. Fig?.
At opposite ends of the said :side and end sections l and 2 are-integral corner-flaps l0, which can be folded inwardly on the dotted or scored line 16, until the device is to be used, when saidv flaps are extended to the position in which they are shown in solid lines; said liapsbeinga mitered, or cut off at an angle, to lit like angular portions of the adjacent section, when the sections arer placed within the grave.
A semicircular recess ll is termed in the inner edge of the base olf each corner-:flap
said holdingl and stretching'rodsv. l i j The operation.'
In using our-invention, the various lparts are placed and secured in the grave as shown in Figs. l and 2, if'the construction oij' Figs.l l to 4 is made'use of. l It the modiliedconstruction is used, the parts areV to be arranged as shown in `Figs. 5 to 8, inclusi-ve, and in either event no further description will be necessary, except to point out the fact that the interior,
as well as the margin of vthe grave will be pleasingly lined and ornamented by our invention.
ln all cases, the lower edge of our grave lining` should extend a distance below the top olf the usual rough-box S, in which the coin or casket is placed.
l/Ve claim: l l. A grave lining, comprising a rectangular hollow body, and linishing-flaps at the upper sides and ends of said body adapted to be folded outwardly and cover the earth adjacent the inoutli oi the grave; in combination withvertical rod-pockets attlie corners of said hollow body, and holding,` and stretching rods adaptedto be placed in said pockets `and :have their lower ends driven into the earth. at the bottom of vthe grave.
2. The combination of the elements recited in the above claim l, and lateral arms on the upper ends of said rods, for extending over, and holding down, the said finishf ing-flaps.
3. The combination of cited in the above claim 2, and downwardly projecting earth-spikes the outer ends of said lateral arms. i .f
laf'lhe vcombination of the elements recited in the above claim 2, and ornamental bodies at the corners of the linishing-laps, adapted to be held down by the said lateral arms ot said holding and stretching` rods, when said arms are extended over lsaid ornamental bodies. p f
ln testimony whereof, we have signed our names to thisspeciication in two subscribing witnesses.
