To aZZ talibn; it conca/fri.' ,j A p Be 1t known that l .GEORGE lV. HEMBY ,of the, Unitedl States, residing at.
Greenville, in the lcounty of Pitt, State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in =Coliinl Lids; and l do hereby declare the following' to be a full, clear, and exact description of the.v
invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in coffin lids.
One object of the invention is to provide a coffin which is extremely simple and cheap in its construction, and which is strong and durable.
Another object is to pro-vide a rcoflin having a lid provided with sectional doors, with novel means on the body of the Collin for supporting these doors together in ope-n position so that vases containing flowers may be placed thereon.
Another object is to provide a cotlin lid of such construction that the corpse will be firmly held against movement while the eoliin is being transported in a vehicle.
A. further object of the invention is to provide a coffin lid having a pair of outwardly swinging doors which permit a side view of the face of the corpse and means for bracing the inner corners of the doors Vwhen in closed position, to prevent sagging.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the drawing.
ln the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a coiiin and lid, made in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view showing one of the doors in open position.
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the head end of the lid, showing the doors in closed position.
Figure l is a side elevation ot' the head end of a con and lid, showing' one of the doors in open position.
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view on the line 5 5 of Figure 1.
Referring particularly to the accompany ing drawing the body or box of the conin has the side walls 10, which converge toward the foot- 11, of the coffin, and from the new and useful accompanying enewed other ends lthereogll .itendl `walls 12, which vConverge'hto a point` at the head of the coliimtfas shown at 13..r Pivotally mounted onthe outer slides of, the longer walls'lO, adjacent the angles between the walls 10 and 12, arethe yangle brackets 14.
A pair ofstops 4land '1.6 are mounted on Vthe side of thefcottin to limit `the,swir'iging movement of ythe brackets from elevated 4to lowered positions. The exterior of the coiin is painted in imitation of the various kinds of woods, and the interior is lined with any desired fabric 17, which is secured therein by any sui-table means, such as an adhesive orby tacks.
Disposed on the top of the coflinv is the lid 1S, the same corresponding in outline with the plan view of the'coiiin box. The upper, or head end of the lid is out along longitudinal parallel lines 19 from a point -slightly inward from the point 13 to points slightly beyond the angles between the `longer and shorter side walls thereof. This leaves a strip 20, of approximately 4 wide, in a full sized colin lid, extending to and being supported on the head of the coin box. The lid is cut inwardly from the opposite sides 2l, at right-angles to, and meeting the lines 19, to form lateral recesses 19 in which are disposedthe doors 22. These4 doors are connected to the outer faces of the longer walls of the lid, by means of the hinges 23.
Driven in the under face of the coffin lid at points adjacent the intersection of lines 19 and 21, are the members 24, the heads of which under-lie the inner corners of the doors, when said doors are in yclosed posin tion, to serve as additional supporting means for the doors. The outer or free ends of the doors 22, are secured to the strip 20 when in closed position by means of the screws 25. Secured to the upper face of the lid, and directly to the strip 20 are the flat strips 2G, which extend slightly beyond the side edges of the strip 20, so as to partially over* lie the inner edges of the doors when in closed position, so as to prevent the escape of odors from the coffin. A similar strip 27, is secured to the main or body portion of the lid and extends longitudinally over fifi.)
carried by the sides of the box are so arranged that, When swung into upper position, provide supporting rests for the doors, when said doors are open. These doors when open and supported on the brackets serve as shelves for vases or jars of flowers or floral pieces.
`Wliat is claimed is:
l. A coffin comprising e box, ak lid for tlie box, the head portion of the lid being longitudinally and transversely cut away,
, doors connected to the lid and movable in a horizontal plane into and out of the out away portions, and movable means carried bythe box of the cofin for supporting the doors in open position.
A Collin comprising a box and a lid there-` for, movably mounted brackets on the box, and horizontallyv svvingable doors on the side portions of tlie head ot' the lid for supporting engagement on the brackets.
3. A Collin lid comprising a main or body portion, the head end of the body portion being formed with lateral recesses, doors hinged to the lid for movement into and out of the recesses, strips carried by the lid and overlying tlie joints of the doors Wlien in closed position, and means carried by the lower face ol the lid and underlying the inner corners of the doors as supports there for when in `closed position.
