COMBINED GRAVE MARKER AND FLOWER HOLDER Filed April l5, 1933 couv:Y BELovED DAIN a 1908-1951 E 111-14. TK- 23 3 m# ign Y k /3 www/Mm h v BY .3@ A TTORNEY Patented May 15, 1934 UNITED STATES lm'rEN'r OFFICE COMBINED GRAVE MARKER AND FLOWER HOLDER My invention relates to a combination grave marker and flower receptacle, to be sunken in the ground and especially adaptable to cemeteries, in which it is desired to locate cut flowers or the Y like.
One object oi my invention is to provide a ground vase or receptacle of the character mentioned which may be sunken in the ground so that it projects slightly above the ground surface.
Another object is to provide an inner removable container in which cut flowers may be arranged and which is supported in an upright manner within the outer ground vase, by a tongue forward on the marker which is thrust within a tubular portion attached to the inner container.
Other objects and advantages may be noted from the following description and accompanying illustrations, in which,
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the closed device 2O as it appears when sunken in the ground in cement or concrete.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of that portion which appears above the ground.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the inner and outer 25 i containers.
Fig. 4 is a rear elevation with the marker and inner container raised and in position to receive cut flowers.
Fig. 5 is a front elevation or" the inner container.
Fig. 6 is a top plan View of Fig. 5.
Referring to the drawing, my device comprises an outer casing 10, inner container or cup 11 and container cover or marker 12.
The outer casing consists of a tubular form 35113, at the lower end of which is a circumferential groove 14 and at the upper end is a vertical slot l5.
A band or ring 16, preferably a metal casting is mounted within the top of the outer casing 10 and riveted thereto by means of rivets 17, and has an 46 joutwardly extending flange 13 ending in ears 19 at the back which extend through slot 15 in the said outer casing 10.
A groove 26 in the flange 18 directly opposite to the ears 19 is to provide a place wherein a vtongue 27 may rest and project therefrom when marker 12 is closed. Said tongue 27 is appended to marker 12 at its forward end. A pin 28 is mounted through lthe casing 10 and extends inward to a point slightly beyond the band or ring 16.
The inner container 11 has a groove 30 extending down the length of said container, and with in said groove and extending downward from the top of the container, is a tubular portion or ring 3l rigidly attached.
A smaller circumferential groove 29 nearly encircles the container 11 at a point just below the top and forms a bead 32 on the inner wall of the container. A metal ring 33 with a plurality of perforations 34 spaced around a center aperture 35, rests upon the bead 32 and is attached to the wall of the container 11 by solder or the like and is arranged to contain cut flowers or the like.
A metal handle 36 is riveted to the bottom of said container 11 to permit of ease in removing the container from the casing 10 when it is desired to ill the container with flowers.
When the container 1l is not in use it is placed in the casing 10 with the handle 36 up and the marker 12 is lowered over the casing and container as a cover.
Where desirous of using owers the marker 12 is raised, the container 11 withdrawn and reversed, the tongue 27 on the marker 12 is inserted within the groove 30 of the container 11 and said container is lowered within the casing 1G until the bottom rests upon the pin 28. Thus the marker is upright and flowers may be placed within the container l1.
The casing 10 may be mounted within the ground by pouring cement or concrete 37 around the casing, the groove 14 serving to hold the casing within the mold.
It will be seen that when not used to contain flowers the iiower cup 11 is contained within the casing and enclosed by the cover or lid 12 and so preserved. When used for ilowers the cover is opened and the cup lifted and held in raised position with the cover forming a marker as shown in Fig. 4. In this position, also, the cup will hold water for the iiower stems.
I claim:
1. A combined marker and iiower holder comprising an outer casing, an inner cup slidable up and down therein, and a cover hinged to the top of the casing and arranged to close the top of the casing when the cup is lowered therein, said cover having means to engage the cup when raised.
2. A combined marker and holder as in claim 1, said means comprising a tongue on the cover,
provided with a tongue, and an inner cup fitting in the casing and removable therefrom, the cup having an annular member at the top in which the tongue is engageable when the cup is raised, to support the cover in upright position.
ADDLPH B. JIPPSON.
