PEDESTAL FOR SUPPORTING COFFINS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 238,530, dated March 8, 1881.
Application filed September 17, 1880.
To all whom. it may concern Be it known that I, ALAMANDO B. RUss, of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pedestals for Supporting Cofns, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure l is a perspective representationof a pedestal embodying my improvements; Fig. 2, an inverted or bottom view thereof.
The object of the presentinvention is to provide supports for cofns, burial-cases, and caskets, which are suitable for coftins of difterent sizes, and which may be folded in compact shape for shipment when not in use.
The nature of my invention consists in a Wing-leg pedestal which is provided with a stationary bearer and one or more removable bearers of such length as will substantially coincide with the diii'erent Widths of coilins to be supported.
A B C C represent the main part of the pedestal, which in this case has a bracket form, but may have any form which will give a suitable base support for a cofn and be convenient to handle. Hinged to the sides of this main part, at D D, are wings E E, which are also ot' bracket form, and When spread stand at right angles to the part A B C, and when 3o closed shut at on opposite sides of said part (No model.)
and project in opposite directions, as shown at Fig. 2. The Wings are folded thus that they may add as little as possible to the thickness of the main part, and so that they may be nested closely for shipment.
The top part, B, is made oi' t-he properlength to support a small coftln Without projecting beyond it and being in the Way 5 but for alarger cofn a bearer, G, is, by means of' dowels an, secured to the part B.' Bearers of different lengths may be employed.
It is well to state that two pedestals are to be employed for a coffin, and that they can be made of Wood and the Wings hung by metal hinges, and the whole maybe painted or ornamented so as to be in consonance with the coffin or otherwise suited to the occasion.
I do not claim to have invented folding legs; but
What I claim is- A pedestal for the support of cottins, consisting of a single standard provided with a stationary bearer and tivo folding legs, in combination with a removable bearer, Gr, for the support of ooffins of different sizes, as specified.
