Application led July 17, 1922. Serial No. $75,529.'.
This invention relates to certain new and.
useful improvements in vaults, and the primary object thereof is to provide a vault structure which is of strong and. rigid construction and which has improved means for excluding air and moisture.
A further object of the invention is to provide a structure which is com osed of nested innerv and out/er members w ich are ilgidly connected by aninterposed plastic er, the latter being interlocked with each of the members and serving to afford -an insulation about. the inner membermto prevent the ingress thereto of air, water or moisture.
A still `further object of the invention is to provide a vault which has means forenabling air to be exhausted from the interior of the inner or casket-holding member so as 0 create a vacuum within the inner memer. L
The invention has still furthery and other objects vwhich will be later set forth and Se manifestedin the course of the following descri tion.-
In t le` drawings Figure 1, is a top plan^view, vpartly broken awa' Flgure 2, is a section on line 2.-2`of Figure 1.
in proceeding in accordance with the present invention, an outer member is employed having a bottom 1, sides 2, and ends G 3 and a top 4. `Tle inner member is located within the Vouter member and is formed to have a bottom 5, sides 6, ends 7 and a top 8.
- The inner member is of a size to receive the casket and is spaced at its bottom, sides, ends f5 and top from the'corresponding parts of the outer member. The inner faces ofthe sides andrends of the outer member are formed with dove-tail grooves 9iand the outer faces of the sides and ends of the inner member so are formed with'similar dovetail grooves 10. The grooves are all verticallydisposed and are, with the spaces7 existing between the two members, enea with a' hindern which may be liquid tar or asphalt or any other suitable composition which can be poured into place and'which solidifies or hardens so as to rigl idly connect the two members, and at-'the same time 'acts as,I an insulation to exclude air and moisture from the inner member.`
By reason of the dovetail grooves, a more efficient and positive connection is formed between the vertical walls of the two memture..
,bers, resulting in a strong and rigid `struc- -For the purpose of allowing airA to be exv "'hausted from the inner ,member a checky valve 12 is carried by the top 8 of the inner f member and pro'ects upwardly thereabove and into an openlng- 13 formed in the top 4 of the outer member. 'The' openingl vis of greater diameter than that of the valve 12` so as to allow suitable connection to be made with the lvalve and with an air exhaust l In o eration, the binder is poured' in the spaces etween the two members up to the lines 14-of Fi re 2 and the. vault then placed inv Jits esired position' or location ready for the reception of the casket. After the casket has been placed lwithin the inner member, thetop 8 is placed in position and an-addedamount of the binder is supplied to completely enclose the cover 8, following which the top 4.1' is positioned. After the binderhardens or' solidiies, connection is made between the air exhaust pump and the valve and a. vacuum created in the inner member. The openm 13 is then filled withL a, further quantity o the binder, so as to seal the checku valve. The binderthu's acts to not only connect the two'members'and to provide insulatlon against the ingress'pf moisture, but also acts to aEord an air-tight seal not only for the inner member,l but also for the valve,thus having a ndual funlction.v
T he two members may be made of wood or any other suitable material. v f What is claimed isz-A l i In a vault, an outer member, an inner member therein having its upper end`dis-.
posed below the upper end of\ the outer imember, a top for the inner member having an opening, a check valve h aving a-casing projecting at ltslower endy lnto'said opening, a top for the outer member Havin an o em'n 1n register With-the upper en of t e cesmg ofthe oheckvalve and `being of sig'htly greater diameter than the latter so 5 as tovenable a 'connection from a pump to be made With the check valve casing through said opening `of the top of the outer member, and a binder between the members *exandvdisposed substantially flush Withjzhe v upper face of'the top ofthe outer member.
