IMPROVEMENT IN COFFINS.
lication forming part of Letters Patent No. 182,228, dated September 12, 1876; application iiled May 16, 1876.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL RoDGERs, of
4Los Angeles city and county, and State of California, have invented an Anti-Contagious Coffin; and I do hereby declare the following description and accompanying drawings are suflicientto enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it most nearly appertains to make `and use my said invention without furtherinvcntion or experiment.
The object of my invention is to provide an improvement iu coftins for the burial of the dead 5 and I call it an anti-contagious7 coffin.
It consists in constructing a wooden coffin somewhat larger than is necessary to receive the body, Vand lining the whole of the inside with wire-gauze cloth, which is retainedat a l short distance from the sides, ends, top, and
bottom,.and filling this space with my anticontagious compound, after which the usual lining and trimmings may be put in, and the which may be made of any wood so'that the expense will come within the means of the purchaser. The sides are made about one-half an inch thick, and the interior is coated with a composition which renders it entirely im-` pervious to water, air,.or gas. This composition consists of lime, linseed-oil, and graphite, in the proportions of eight parts of lime, four parts of liuseed-oil, and one part of graphite. The ingredients are mixed, boiled about one` hour, and put in while hot. Strips of wood,
c, about three-fourths of an inch thick, are
nailed to the inside of the coffin, and also upon the cover, and wire-cloth, d, is secured to these strips, so that a space is left between' lid has beenscrewed down all will be both water and gas tight.
By this construction I am enabled to prevent contagion, which is liable to arise from the escape of noxious gases, and prevent the fouling of Wells in the neighborhood of ceme- Iam aware that mats of disinfectants have been placed over bodies in cofns, and that wire-cloth has been used at the bottom of cofins to keep the body above the moisture which may accumulate therein, but this is not my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The cofn A and its cover B, the interior surface of which is lined with a disinfectant, such as charcoal and calcium combined, and the whole covered with a wire-cloth, d, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
