R. SIMPSON BURIAL VAULT Filed Feb. 17, 1938 Patented July 25, 1939 UNITED yS'ITATES PATENT OFFICE 15 Claims.
The present invention.relatestotburial vault constructions. More particularly, the invention is directed to modifications of or improvements on vaults of the type shown and described in my 5 copending application Serial No. 137,337, filed April 16, 1937, now Patent No. 2,111,462.
It is an object of the invention to improve the construction of vaults of the fcregoing type, .particularly as regards the concrete, stone, or masonry parts thereof. It isla further object of the invention to provide means for preventingthe moisture which forms on the interior surface of theivaultfrom collecting therein. To this end, novel means are provided to-effect 15 drainage of such moisture, without permitting passage of air or gases to andfrom vthe inside and the outside of the vault.
It is a further object ofthe invention to provide a vault which `is characterized by great strength and ruggedness, so that the vault will not deteriorate in anyfmanner vthroughout the lapse of time.
In the accompanying drawing, two vforms of the invention are disclosed. It must' be undery25 stood that the vinvention lis not limited to the 30 In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal `sectional view of oneform of vault.
Figure 2 is a sectional lview on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
`35 Figure '3 is a vertical vlongitudinal sectional view of a second form of vault, and
Figure 4 is a transverse section on line 4-4 of Figure 3.
The vault preferably comprises a monolithic, concrete foundation slab Il) adapted to be positioned in the bottom of the grave. A slab of this kind is desirable because it increases the bearing surface in the ground and serves to distribute the weight of the vault over a large area. As a 45 result, settling of the vault in the ground and lateral tipping of the same is prevented. The foundation slab is provided around its .upper margin with a rabbeted portion comprising inclined surfaces II and I2. These surfaces support the lower edges of the base portion t3 which, in Figure 1,-cornprises a top wall-I4, end Walls I5, I6,.and side walls II, I8. The lower edges of the yside and end walls are downwardly and outwardly inclined, as indicated, and mate'withfthe downwardly and outwardly inclined surface I I of thefoundation slab.
The top wall i4 of the base serves as a casket supporting floor and its upper surface is inclined 60 downwardly and inwardly toward a central aperture I9, which `serves vas a drainage hole, as
box or hood. The lower edges of the side and end walls are preferably downwardly and outwardly inclined,-asshewn in the drawing, to rest upon and mate with'the Ainclined surfaces 2l! around the upper margin of the base.
A cover slab 28 may be positioned upon the top wall 23. This slab andfhea'd stone L29 `may be made from decorative materiaLsuch as marble, limestone, or the like.
Within the casket receptacle there is positioned an innercasing `3i! which is preferably similar to the inner casing'shown in the copending application referred to above. In the present case, however, the inner casing fhas its top Wall 3l and its side vand end walls`=32 and'33 spaced from the inner-faces of the adjacent walls of the casket receptacle. This spacing of the walls is advantageous, since it facilitatespositioning of the heavy concrete `outer casing over lthe inner casing after the latter has been putin place over the casket supported on the base i4.
The: lower edges 'ofthe inner casing are sunk in the grooves 22 `and sealed therein with an appropriate waterproof,asphaltic cement. The
-inner casing is preferably made of sheet copper formed therein a double reverse bend or goose neck :36, thereby-providing a trap to prevent the lpassage of air and gases betweenthe casket receptacle and the hollow, downwardly opening space in the base. The lower end of the pipe- 35 is positioned adjacent the'foundation slab Ill.
It 'will be appreciated from the above that an extremely rugged and efficient vault is provided Vbythe construction shownin Figures l and 2. Means ware..provide'd for draining'the moisture Azo which collects on the inner faces of the casket receptacle. The moisture which may be present inside of the inner casing will drain downwardly through the pipe 35 to the space in the hollowA Vthe foregoing primarily in that the base and the side and end walls of the casket receptacle are integral. The base I4', as in the previous case, forms the iioor of the casket receptacle. Around its margins, it is provided with downwardly projecting flanges forming end walls l5', I6 and side walls l1', I8'. The joint between the lower edges of these walls and the foundation slab l!) is the same as previously described.
Around the marginsl of the floor I4', there are formed upwardly projecting flanges providing side walls 24', 25' and end walls 26', 21' of a casket receiving receptacle. The upper end of the casket receptacle is closed by a cover slab 23', having a rabbeted joint connection 4i! with the side walls. This jointl may be dry, or it may be sealed substantially in the manner shown in my aforesaid copending application.
The inner casing 30' in the second form is the same as that shown in Figure l, with the` exception that a plurality of openings or notches 4I are provided along the lower edgeof the side and end walls to permit moisture which may collect on the inner faces of the walls 2421' to flow inwardly to the opening I9'. From this point, the moisture drains in the manner previously described.
Preferably the foundation slab, the base, and the walls of the casket receptacle, in both forms of the invention, are made of reinforced, cast concrete. The reinforcing means may be the conventional steel reinforcing elements used in similar concrete structures.
The parts are made by pouring the concrete into appropriately shaped molds, in the usual manner.
As a result of the novel features of the present invention, an improved burial vault4 of the surfaceftype is pr-ovided. The parts are sufficiently heavy to withstand the deteriorating effects of time, and as a result, the contents of the casket will be preserved indefinitely.
As stated above, all modifications coming within the scope of the appended claims or their equivalents, are within the invention.
