INSCRIPTION TABLET MOUNTING Filed D80. 4, 1934 INVENTOR Patented June 15, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Edward C. Sisson and Jefferson D. Stokes, Dallas, Tex.
Application December 4, 1934, Serial No. 755,938
1 Claim.
This invention relates to grave markers and it has particular reference to an inscription tablet adapted to be received in a mounting of a suitable nature for identifying deceased people and 5 the burial place.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a tablet of impressionable material, associated with which is a suitable backing to receive the inscription impression applied to the' 10 plate of impressionable material.
Another object of the invention is to provide a holder or mounting of but few parts and so constructed that the inscription tablet may be inserted therein without requiring any extra 15 parts such as securing devices.
The present invention is an improvement upon the invention disclosed in the patent issued to Edward C. Sisson et al. No. 1,997,087.
With the foregoing objects as paramount, the
20 invention has particular reference to its salient features of construction and arrangement of parts which will become manifest as the descrip tion proceeds, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
25 Figure l is a perspective view of the inscription plate and mounting therefor with the stake portion broken away to suggest extension.
Figure 2 is a view on line 22 on Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the inscription tablet 30 with sections of the laminations torn away to show construction, and
Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross section on line 44 on Figure 3.
Continuing with a more detailed description 35 of the drawing, reference is primarily made to Figures 3 and 4. showing the inscription tablet which is comprised of a backing l of sheet iron or zinc, the material being preferably of the type which will resist rust and corrosion and 40 may be exposed to the weather with little deteriorating effect. A sheet of cardboard or its equivalent 2 is placed over the backing l and on the cardboard there is applied a sheet of blotting paper 3 or such other material as will 45 provide a soft cushion which will permit an impression to be made in the impression plate 4 which is composed preferably of a thin sheet of copper, although it is obvious that any kind of impressionable material which will resist the 50 ravages of time and weather will be an equivalent.
As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the edges (1 of the impressionable material are bent under the base plate or backing l to thus hold the 55 assembly together. The sectional views, Figures 2 and 4 show the assembly as being somewhat thicker than is actually the case but this is obviously for the purpose of clearly illustrating the invention.
After the elements of the tablet have been assembled as described, the subject-matter shown in Figure 3 is applied by any conventional means and consists in the present case of the words born and died, each followed by a line on which the inscriber may write or print the date of birth and decease of the person whose name is inscribed similarly on the top line. It is obvious that since the material of the plate 4 is soft, an inscription can be readily made, the cushion 3 receives the impression, the depth of which is limited by the more or, less rigid backing l.
As stated previously, the present invention is a modification or improvement of Patent No. 1,997,087. The present invention however seeks to define per se the inscription tablet which possesses independent novelty over the mounting described in the said patent.
The drawing however, illustrates the type of mounting which has been found in practice to meet all requirements and is inexpensive and more desirable inasmuch as no screws, nuts, bolts or other types of securing means are required to firmly hold the inscription tablet in position. The mounting shown in Figure 1 is comprised simply of a plate 5, to the back of which is secured a stake 6 having a sharpened lower end 12. To the plate is affixed by welding or riveting a holder, the edges 1 of which are rolled as shown particularly in Figure 2. The rolled edges 1 of the holder firmly engage the edges of the inscription tablet 4 and in order to release the tablet, it is necessary only to move the rolled edges away from the same and withdraw the tablet. Similarly when the tablet is inserted, the edges 7 are rolled to the position shown in Figure 2 to securely bind the tablet in place.
It is understood that while the inscription tablet has been shown in connection with a mounting, the invention is not limited to the combination since it is obvious that the tablet may be used in connection with any suitable holding means.
Manifestly, the construction shown is capable of some modification and such modification as is considered within the scope and meaning of the appended claim is also considered within the spirit and intent of the invention.
What is claimed is:
The combination with a tablet, of a holder comprising a plate having resilient rolled edges extending inwardly to overhang the marginal edges of the tablet, and being normally spaced from the body of the plate less than the thickness of the tablet to hold the same in intimate contact with the plate, said rolled edges being adapted to flex outwardly when the tablet is applied to or removed from the holder.
