E. J. GREIVE GASKET Filed oct. 5, '1925 Patented Mar. 8, 1927.
UNITED STATES EDMUND J. GREIVE, OIE LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
GASKET.
Application filed October 5, 192B. Serial No. 139,604.
My invention is a casket, the particular featureof the invention being in relation to i r is to make a base with a flat rim and to make a metal casketl with a base and a flat rim, the cover being formed of metal and made hollow, and also having a flat surface, there being positioned a gasket or the like between the rim of the case and the flat surface of the cover.
The base is provided with a series of plates extending outwardly from the rim, such plates having keyhole slots. To cooperate with same the cover is provided with a series of clamping screws which may be slid into the keyhole slots and by a slight lengthwise movement of the cover the screws are in a position for tightening and securing the base and cover. A suitable apron depends from the cover and hides the clamping screws.
My invention is illustrated in the follow ing drawings, in which:
Flgure 1 is a side elevation of my gasket indicating the position of the bolts and showing the manner of covering from external view;
Fig. 2 is a` horizontal section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, in the direction of the] arrows.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1` showing in detail the connection between the base and the cover of the casket;
Fig. 4 is a horizontal longitudinal section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3 in the direction of the arrows7 showing the type of disconnecting securing device.
In the construction ot the casket the base 1 has a side wall 2 formed of metal. This has an outward curved upper section 3 with a backward bend 'forming a horizontal iat rim 4. a downwardly turned edge 5 Jforms one edge of the metal forming the side wall. A plate 6 is welded or otherwise secured to the downturned vedge 5 as indicated by the numeral 7 and the lower edge is welded or otherwise secured to the wall 2 adjacent the curved section 3 as indicated by the numeral 8. v
A series ot slots 9 are 'formed in the upper part of the curved section 3, there being a series of plates 10 fit-ted through said slots, the rear ends of the plates being welded or otherwise secured to the upper edge. of the plate 6 as indicated bv the numeral 11. These plates are provided with keyhole slots 12, each having a circular portion 13 and a portion having parallel sides 14.
The cover 15 has an outer curved molded section 16 terminating in an apron 17 having a reverse bend of the metal. A flat horizontal section 18 extends towards the center oi the casket and an inner section 19 eX- tends upwardly from the inner edge of this Hat portion. A gasket 20 fit-s between the i'lat surface 4L ot the rim of the base and the iat plate 18 of the cover.
In order to reinforce the plate 187 a bar 20 extends lengthwise of same, preferablyv being secured to the upper side by welding or the like and has a series of screw threaded apertures 21 in which are fitted the clamping screws 22.
The manner of assembling the casket is substantially as follows:
It will be understood that there are a sufficient number of plates 10 with the keyhole slots and a suliicient number of adjusting screws 22 to securely clamp the cover to the base. With the screws loosened the cover is adjusted over the base so that the heads of the screws may pass through the circular portion of the keyhole slots 12. The whole cover is then given a slight longitudinal movement so that the stem of the scr-ew passes into the portion of the keyhole slot 14 having the parallel sides. The screws may then be tightened, utilizing the screw driver until the cover is clamped to the base with the desired pressure. When it is desired to unclamp the cover from the base the reverse operation is performed.
It will be readily apparent by an inspection of Figs. 1 and 3 that the screws are completely out of sight from the ordinary person inspecting` the casket and therefore these clamping screws do not interfere with the ornamentation of the casketor the cover.
Various changes may be made in my inno l vention without departing from the spirit thereof as set forth in the description, drawings and claims.
What I claim is:
l. A casket having a base with a fiat rim, a series of plates having keyhole slots secured to the base adjacent the rim, a cover haring a flat lower section, a series of screws secured to the cover through said section, said screws registering with the keyhole slots, and an apron extending downwardly from the cover below the screws.
2. A casket having a base with a wall, a curved section extending outwardly from the wall, a horizontal rim extending inwardly from the curved section`l means securing the rim to the wall, a series of plates having keyhole slots extending outwardly from the base adjacent the flat rim, a cover having a molded outer section with an apron depending therefrom, a flat horizontal section extending inwardly from the apron, a reinforcing member secured to the flat section, and screws fitted in said reinforcing member, being positioned to register with the keyhole slots.
3. A casket comprising in combination a base having outside walls with curved molding at the upper portion, a flat rim eX- tending inwardly from the curved portion, a plate secured tothe inner portion of the rim and to the upper portion of the wall, there being a series of slots in the curved portion, flat plates extending through said slots underneath the flat rim, said plates having keyhole slots, a cover having an outer section with an apron dependingl therefrom formed by a fold of sheet material, a flat horizontal section extending inwardly from the apron, a reinforcing bar extending lengthwise of the horizontal Section, and a series of screws secured in said reinforcing member to register with the keyhole slots.
In testimony whereof lt have signed my name to this specification.
EDMUND J. GREIVE.
