Description
Jan. 9, 1934. w. R. POPKESS BODY SUPPORT ATTORNEY Patented Jan. 9, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
The invention relates to a body support for morticians and more particularly to a support for use with embalming tables.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a support of this character, wherein a corpse can be placed thereon for embalming purposes and will be properly held so as to eliminate the necessity for moving the body and more particularly when dressing such corpse,
with the result that neatness of dress may be carried forth without undue labor on the part of the mortician.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a support of this character, wherein the same is readily adjustable to accommodate corpse of dilferent sizes and will assure handy dressing of such corpse with resultant neatness in the dress.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a support of this character which is extremely simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and efficient in its purpose, light in weight yet strong and durable, and inexpensive to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
, In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embalming table showing the support constructed in accordance with the invention thereon and carrying a corpse.
Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the support.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates generally a pedestal table which may be of any conventional form adopted by morticians for the embalming operation of a corpse and upon this table is adapted to be arranged the support constituting the present invention and hereinafter fully described.
The support comprises outer and intermediate frames B and C respectively. Each outer frame includes a central horizontal bar 5 joined with a transverse bar 6 provided with depending legs 7 near the ends of this bar 6. These legs 7 are fitted with rubber feet 8. Near the outer ends of the bars 5 of the frames B are the respective head and leg rests 9 and 10, the head rest 9 being fitted with an adjustable rack 11 for accommodating the head of the corpse as is clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawing. The leg rest 10 carries a cross rail 12 for the legs of the corpse.
The intermediate frame 0 includes a tubular bar 13 in which are telescoped the inner ends of the bar 5 and these are held adjusted by set screws 14. Likewise the rack 11 is held adjusted by a set screw 15. Formed with the bar 13 are downwardly divergent legs 16 having rubber feet 17, these constituting the intermediate feet of the support. Rising from the bar 13 near the end next to the head rest 9 are spaced uprights 18 carrying a back rest board 19.
In Figure 1 of the drawing the corpse as indicated at D is laid with the back against the back rest 19 and the head in the rack 11 and the legs on the leg rest 10 at the rail 12 thereof. Thus it should be readily seen that this corpse, by the mortician, can be conveniently embalmed and clothing applied with neatness and dispatch.
What is claimed is:
1. A support of the kind described comprising outer and intermediate frames telescopically interfitted with each other, means for fastening the frames adjustably with respect to each other, legs on said frames, rubber feet on the legs, a back rest carried by the intermediate frame, a head rest carried by one of the outer frames, and a leg rest carried by the other outer frame.
2. A support of the character described comprising outer and intermediate frames telescopically interfitted with each other, means for fastening the frames adjustably with respect to each other, supports for the frames, a back rest carried by one of the outer frames, and a leg rest carried by the other outer frame.
WILLIAM ROBERT POPKESS.
