1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to a burial dress supporting device intended to be used in the dressing of a deceased female person, whereby the dress in which such person is laid out, prior to interment, may be supported relative to the body oi' the deceased, in a smoothly-spread and neat manner.
One object of the invention is to produce an improved device of the kind described.
A further object is to produce a light and inexpensive burial dress supporting device.
A still further object is to produce an improved device of the type set forth which is adapted to be secured in position so as to prevent accidental displacement of the supporting device and the consequent dishevelling of the dress.
These and other objects are attained by my invention as set forth in the following specification and as illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a, burial dress supporting device embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a greatly enlarged sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an end elevational View.
As will be seen from Figs. 2 and 3, the supporting device is formed in a generally arcuate form and is of suicient length and width as to overlie the portion of the body from the vicinity of the Waist to the vicinity of the ankle. The device is preferably made of some light, inexpensive and form-retaining material which is preformed to the desired shape.
As shown, the supporting device includes a body portion I covered by a padding I2, which, in turn, is covered by a fabric I4. The longitudinal and transverse edges of the device are encased in a U-shaped sheath I6. The sheath I5 is preferably made of some light sheet metal. The supporting device flares outwardly from the upper waist-line end thereof toward the end thereof which is adjacent the feet of the body. On the under side of the device, near the lower flared end thereof,
there is positioned a band I8 which is made of l a form-retaining and flexible light metal. The band is supported in position by being passed through a pair of grommets 20, and the ends of the band may or may not be engaged by the sheath I6.
When the device is in use, it is placed under the outer dress, and the band I8 is deflected at the center thereof to form a depressed portion 22, the outer sides of which engage the inner faces of the legs or ankles 24 of the body, as shown in Fig. 3. This prevents displacement of the supporting device relative to the dress or the body and insures a neat appearance of the` body while it is on view. It will be noted that the device is extremely inexpensive to make and can be used without any special skill.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
An elongated support adapted to be inserted between the lower portion of the torso and limbs of a deceased person and a dress worn by such person, said support being arcuate in transverse section and the end thereof registering with the nether portions of the limbs being wider than the other end of said support, spaced guide grommets on the underside of said support near the wide end thereof, and a deformable, form-retaining band slidably mounted in said grommets, with the portion of said band between said grommets free to be deformed into a member engaging the limbs of said person near the extremities thereof.
GEORGE T. BROWNSON.
