GASKET.
Application filed April 22, 1920. Serial No. 375,697.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. KNOX, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gaskets, of which the following is a specification.
The primary object of this invention is to provide an improvement in caskets that are constructed of comparatively thin sheet metal, in which improved reinforcing means is embodied in the construction.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved form of a bottom wall -for a casket that is constructed of sheet metal in which the bottom wall when secured to the side -and end walls of the casket will reinforce the side walls thereof.
Other and further objects will appear in the specification and be specifically pointed out in the appended claims, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings exemplifying the invention, and in which,
Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of a casket showing thisimproved bottom wall applied thereto.
Figure 2 is an enlarged transverse section taken on the line II-II of Fig. 1.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the bottom wall of the casket 2, said bottom wall being provided with a series oflongitudinally arranged upwardly formed ribs or corrugations 3, and between which are provided a series of longitudinally formed fiat surfaces 4. These ribs 3 adjacent their ends adjoin transversely formed ribs 5, and formed on the bottom wall '1 adjacent the side edges and end edges thereof is a rectangular shaped up- 40 turned portion 6 forming a rectangular undercut cornering 7. Secured -to the bottom wall 1 is the side walls 8, each having an inwardly bent portion 9 formed at their lower ends, said portions 9 engaging against the underside of the side portions of the upturned portions 6, in which the inwardly extending edges 10 of the portions 9 will abut the vertically extending portions 11 that are provided in forming the upturned portions 6. In this position of engagement of the portions 9 of the respective side walls 8 with the upturned portion 6 of the bottom wall 1, said portions 6 and 9 are soldered or brazed together, and
in which the side walls 8 will be firm-ly secured to said bottom wall.
The construction of the end walls 12 and the manner of securing them to the end edges of the bottom wall lis similar to that related relative to the side walls 8 and in which the abutting edges of said side and end walls are brazed or soldered. n
In the present day manufacture of metallic caskets the weight thereof has to beconsidered as it is more desirable to procure a light weighing casket rather than a heavy casket and if the weight of a casket was immaterial the bottom and side walls of the casket could be constructed of comparatively thick and heavy metal sheets so as to afford the required strength. It is there'- fore the intent of this invention to provide a casket with an improved reinforcing bottom wall which is not only strengthened in itself but will provide rigidity and strength to the side walls.
From the aforesaid description and disclosure of the drawings it is to be noted that the spaced apart longitudinal arrangement of the ribs 3 that are formed in the bottom wall 1 of the casket provides a construction to the bottom wall in which transverse bending strains to the bottom wall will be resisted, and on account of the resistance provided to said bottom wall a rigidity will be given to the side walls, and inasmuch as the bottom and side walls of a casket receive the carrying strain, the reinforcment provided by the longitudinally ribbed bottom wall 1 will prevent flexing or collapsing of the side walls. Furthermore, on account of the rigidity given to the side walls of the casket, bending resisting forces will be derived and given to the bottom wall 1 under a carrying load.
From the aforesaid description of this improvement, it is to be observed that on account of the longitudinal reinforcing provided to the bottom wall, provision has been made whereby the metallic walls of a casket can be made from comparatively thin sheet metal or material.
What I claim is:
1. The improvement in the construction of relatively long and narrow square ended receptacles made from relatively thin metallic sheet material, which consists in providing the bottom wall of the receptacle with a seriespof longitudinally formed reinforcing ribs extending the approximate length thereof, said ribs being spaced a distance apart lrom one another so as to provide respective flattened surfaces therebetween, and a transverse rib formed at each end of the bottom wall adjoining the ends of said longitudinally formed ribs.
2. A casket comprised of sheet metallic O vertically extending Walls, and a bottom Wall rectangular in shape secured to said vertically extending Walls having a series of spaced apart longitudinally arranged reinforcing ribs extending the approximate length thereof, said bottom being flattened between each pair of ribs said bottom Wall being provided with a transverse rib formed adjacent each end, each transverse rib connecting With said longitudinal ribs.
CHARLES A. KNOX.
