Be it known that I, Biron AQUTTER, a I citizen of the United States, residing in the cityof Richmond, in the county of Wayne, State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Casket Handles,,of which the following is a full, clear, and comprehensive specification and exposition, the same being such as will enable others to make and apply the same with exactitude;
The object of this present invention, broadly speaking, is to provide improvements in burial casket handles, which improvements are simple in character, positive in action, easily applied and operated, in-,
conspicuous in appearance, and the additional cost occasioned thereby will be practically nil. I
The particular object in view is to provide means of securing together certain parts of casket handles, taking the place of screws as usually employed therefor, and making the securing of the parts more quickly accomplished, and at the same time being'morepositive in action, thereby adding to the security of the carts and saving time and labor in the attac inent thereof.
Other minor objects and particular advantages of this invention .will, suggest themselves in the course of the following description, and, that which is new will be correlated in the appended claimswhich terminate this specification.
The preferred means for carrying out the principles of my invention in a practical and eflicient manner is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a face view in elevation of a casket handle in which my invention is incorporated, but which can not be seen. Figure 2 is a side elevation of one of the arms of the handle, showing my invention in operative position securing the arm tothe carrying bar. Figure 3 is a rear elevation of one of the arms, showing an edge view of my invention in position in connection therewith. Figure 4 is a side elevation of my invention in connection with the sheet metal plate which forms the core of the arm. Figure 5 is an edge view of the invention alone. Figure 6 shows a modified form, this being the old or present form of construction which my invention is intended CASKET HANDLE.
1922. Serial No. 557,876.
Similar indices denote like parts'thi'oughout the several views.
. In order that the details of construction,
the application ofthe invention to its in tended function, and "the resultant advantages of the invention may be more fully understood and appreciated, I :will now take up a detailed description thereof, in which I will set forth the same as fully and as comprehensively as I may.
In the drawings letter A denotes the baseplate, adapted to be rigidly secured to a burial casket in the usual manner'immaterial'to this invention. i
Pivotally connected at A are the two arms and as, they are identical with each other I will hereinafter refer to the same in the singular tense.
The arm B terminates at its lower or the same being the part which is.
C to the base plate outer endportion in the enclosure or frame D which isintegral therewith, thereby pro viding the aperture E whose dimensions are the dimensions in cross section of the carrying bar F. H
Letter G denotes the caps or ends which are secured on each end of the bar F.
The arm B is usually cast from rather soft metal, therefore in order to give it the maximum of strength I provide a sheet metal plate of steel or other strong material, which plate consists of the arm por ti'on 1, and the frame portion 2, the same conforming generally to the shape of the arm B and the frame D in which itis embedded. In fact the sheet metal plate. is almost enclosed in the metal of. the arni B and the frame D, except in therear portions.
Theaperture 3 in the frame 2 is the same. in dimensions as is the aperture E in the On the rear side of the frame 2 there is a swell or rounded projection 4: which is provided with an aperture therethrough to re-' ceive a rivet or eyelet therein, as hereinafter stated.
Numeral 5 denotes a cam which has anaperture 6 therethrough which is of substantially the same size as said aperture in the swell 4L Integral with the cam 5 is the finger 7. Said cam 5 and finger 7 are made of the same material as is the member 12.
In punching or forming the aperture (3 an eyelet 8 is formed thereby which eyelet may be inserted in the aperture in the swell 4: and project a short distance therethrough, after which its projecting portion may be riveted down, as inFig. 2, thereby pivotally connecting the cam t the swell i of the frame 2.
It is to be understood that in lieu of the eyelet 8 formed from the material of the cam 5, that an entirely independent eyelet may be employed to pivotally connect the cam 5 to the swell 4, or an ordinary solid rivet 9, Fig. 7, may be employed if desired.
As will be understood, the purpose of my invention is to provide means to secure the bar F to the arms B. Heretofore we have accomplished this bymeans of a set-screw H, which is threaded through the swell I of the frame I), as shown in Fig. 6, therefore when thebar F is inserted in the aperture E the set-screw H may be run in so that its point contacts with the bar F and thereby locks the bar F and the arm B together. But 1 have found that this requires too much time and that it easily works loose as it can.
not be tightened sufiiciently to hold properly.
lVith the employment of my invention the arm F is inserted through the aperture E and brought to the lateral position desired with relation to the arms 13, during which operation the cam 5 is in the position in which it is shown in solid lines in Fig. 4.
Now by striking down on the finger 7 with a hammer, bringing the cam 5 to the position in which it is shown in solid lines in F 2, and in dotted lines Fig. 4, it is evident that the periphery of the cam 5 will be tightly wedged against the bar F, cutting 1. In a casket handle comprising base plate, arms pivoted to said plate with their outer portions adapted to receive a carryingbar therethrough, an eccentric pivoted to each arm, and means whereby the eccentric may be turned causing it to wedge into contact with the carrying-rod to prevent end-- wise movements of said rod with relation to said arms, substantially as set forth.
2. In a casket handle comprising a base,
arms hinged at one end to said base, a base imbedded in each arm and conforming with the contour thereof, a carrying bar extending through. an aperture in the outer portions of said arms and through said base, an eccentric pivoted to each of said bases and adapted when turned in one direction to wedge against said bar, and a finger integral with. each eccentric to provide means Whereby the eccentric may beturned by means of a tool striking said fingers, all substantially as set forth.
3. In a casket handle, a frame-like structure forming an aperture to slidably receive a carrying-bar therein, a cam pivoted to one side of the frame with its periphery adapted when turned to extend into said aperture and engage said bar to secure the bar in operative position.
