BODY ADJUSTER FOR DECEASED PERSONS Filed June 7, 1952 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Inventor TIT]: Thompson By fizwmizm 4 Home y Patented June 20, 1933 STATES JAMES J. THOMPSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS BODY ADJUSTER FOR DECEASED PERSONS Application filed June 7,
The present invention relates to a body adjuster for deceased persons and the primary object of the invention is the provision of an adjuster device for holding the body of de- 5 ceased persons in proper position for display purposes in caskets and the like.
Another very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a device of this nature which is simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the pur pose for which it is designed.
With the above and numerous other objects 15 in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be here inafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the device embodying the features of my invention showing the same in a casket.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the Lsshaped bracket, and
Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the notched bar.
Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that numeral 5 denotes a casket or the like. The letter F denotes a frame of suitable material. This frame F is of oblong construction and one end 6 thereof is obliquely disposed while the other end thereof 7 is rectangularly disposed and has a portion 7 obliquely disposed to the length of the frame.
The end bar 6 is rockable in bearings 8 fixed to the bottom of the casket 5 so that as the frame is swung upwardly to longitudinally inclined position it also inclines laterally to one side.
The letter L denotes an L-shaped bracket formed of strap metal or the like having a base leg 9 fixed to the bottom of the casket and at the end of this base plate is an eye 19. The upright leg 11 is twisted so as to be disposed in a plane at right angles to the plane 0 of the base leg 9 and the upper end thereof is reduced in width to form a stop projection 1932. Serial No. 615,900.
12. Numeral l4 denotes abar provided with a sense of spaced notches 15 in one edge thereof. The lower end of this bar 15 is pivoted to the upright leg 11 as is indicated at 16 immediately below the stop projection 12. A spring 17 is engaged with the bar 15 adjacent its pivoted end and is also attached to the eye and urges the notched bar 14 toward the end bar 7 of the frame F so that said end bar 7 may be engaged in one of the notches depending upon the angle of inclination desired for the frame.
It is thought that the construction, operation, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.
It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:
In combination, the bottom of a casket, an oblong frame including spaced side members and spaced end members extending between and rigidly connected to said side members, one of said end members being round in cross 30 section and obliquely disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis of said frame, bearings secured to the bottom of the casket and encircling said round end member for swingingly mounting said frame on the bottom of 95 the casket, and a notched bar engageable with the other end member for holding the frame in various adjusted positions.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
JAMES J. THOMPSON.
