Patented June 3, 1952 CASKET TRAN SPORTING AND HOISTIN G VEHICLE George Forman, Los Angeles, Calif. Application June 29, 1948, Serial No. 35,842
4 Claims (Cl. 214-84) My invention relates to and has for a purpose the provision of a vehicle particularly designed, although not necessarily, for transporting caskets from place to place in mausoleums, and hoisting and moving them into crypts.
It is also a purpose of my invention to provide such a casket handling vehicle which embodies a vertically extensible frame that normally oc-' cupies a retracted position, and, hence, a minimum height, to allow the frame and the vehicle to pass through relatively low archways in a mausoleum in transporting a casket to or from a crypt.
A further purpose Of m invention is the provision of a casket transporting vehicle that has a casket supporting platform mounted for elevating movement onv the extensible frame, a mechanism for elevating the platform on the frame, and also vertically extending the frame to effect further elevation of the platform to lift a casket to relatively high crypts, and a control means for the mechanism which can be manually set to discontinue operation thereof at a predetermined time so that the platform is hoisted to a preselected crypt for movement of a casket on the platform into such crypt.
Another purpose of my invention is the provision in such a vehicle of means for moving a casket onto and off of the platform and irrespective of the elevation thereof.
I will describe only one form of casket transporting vehicle, and one form of automatic control device for the hoisting mechanism thereof, each embodying my invention, and will then point out the novel features thereof in claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a view showing in perspective one form of casket transporting vehicle embodying my invention in which the casket supporting platform and the extensible frame are in their lowermost positions of adjustment. I Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal plan view of the vehicle more particularly showing the platform and the casket moving means.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevational view of the upper part of the extensible frame.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on the line 44 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. l. I
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of the platform and the carriage therefor.
Fig. '7 is a fragmentary perspective view of the elevating carriage for the platform carriage.
Fig. 8 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 88 of Fig. 5.
Fig. 9 is a horizontal sectional View taken on the line 9-9 of Fig. 8.
Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the platform elevated to its uppermost position and the extensible frame extended upwardlyj Having specific reference to the drawings,jmy invention in its present embodiment comprises a dolly designated generally at D, and comprising a body having sides [5, ends l6, and a top H, the body being supported for rolling movement by wheels l8 on an axle l9 and castors 20 which render the dolly dirigible. A bar 2| is secured to one end of the dolly body and bentto form an .upstanding handle 2| by which the dolly may be pushed from place to place.
One end of the top H is open but closed by a housing 22 in which is partly contained a hoisting mechanism.
My vehicle includes a vertically extensible frame made up of a stationary part S and a movable part M. The stationary frame part is best shown in Figs. 5 and 10 as comprising a pair of vertically extending and parallel spaced channelled side rails 23 with their lower ends extending downwardly through the top I! adjacent the housing 22, and fixed at their lower ends toa cross member 24 secured to a platform 25. .The
' side rails 23 may be braced by rods 26 secured to the housing 22 and to the upperwend of the rails as shown in Fig. 10, and the upper ends of. the rails are connected by a cross bar 21. I
As shown in Figs. 5 and 7, an elevating carriage, designated generally at K, is mounted for vertical movement in the side rails 23. This carriage consists of a vertical plate 28 having on its lower edge a flange or lip 29 of greater length than the plate to completely span the rails 23. The upper edge of the plate 28 is formed with a plurality of upstanding extensions 30 which are riveted, welded or otherwise secured to an axle 3|. Similarly fastened to the lower edge of the plate 28 is a second axle 32. These axles are of such length as to span the rails '23, and journalled on their ends are rollers 33 which ride in the channels of the rails 23 so that the carriage as a unit can be moved vertically therein.
The movable frame part M is best shown in Figs. 5 and 10 as comprising a pair of channelled side rails 34 held in fixed parallel spaced relationship by an axle 35, and telescopically associated with the side rails 23 of the stationary frame part by L-shaped brackets 36 fixed to the rails 23 and carrying rollers 31 which bear against the rails 34, as best shown in Fig. 4.
A carriage designated generally at KI is mounted for vertical movement in the rails'34- This carriage, as best shown in Fig. 6, comprises a vertical plate 38 disposed between the rails 34 and carrying axles 39 and 40 on the ends ofwhi ch are journalled rollers 4| which ride in the channels of the rails 34. To one side of the plate 38 is riveted or otherwise secured an upstanding flange 42 of the platform 43 disposed horizontally above the body top ll supportedand braced by channel beams 44 and 45.
- This platform 43 is designed to supporti a casket, shown in phantom in-Fig; 5, and through of the switch 59, now causes the motor 55 to be operated in such direction that the rollers 48 move the casket lengthwise off of the platform and into the crypt.
If the crypt into which the casket is to be moved is above the height of the stationary frame part S the hoisting mechanism is operated to cause the upper rollers 41 of the carriage KI to engage the stops 8! and under continued rotation of the drums 69, the stretches of the cables 13 between the sheaves 3i and '16 will be shortened to now lift the carriage K in the stationary frame part S and as the lip 29 abuts the lower ends of the side rails 94, the movable frame part M will be elevated on the frame part S, as illustrated in Fig. 10. As the platform 43 is now movable upwardly with the frame part S, it will be clear that the platform with the casket can be elevated beyond the limit of the frame part M to any height substantially within the combined lengths of the two frame parts M and S. By now operating the rollers 48 in the proper direction the casket can be moved from the platform into the preselected crypt.
If the control device of Fi 9 is incorporated in my vehicle in the manner previously described, to operate the hoisting mechanism the operator first sets the indicator 89 through adjustment of the shaft 83, to a point along the length of the scale 96 to indicate the particular horizontal tier of crypts in which a casket is to be deposited. By such setting of the indicator the long arm of the lever 92 is so positioned axially of the drum 69 that when the switch 12 is closed to energize the motor 94 the hoisting mechanism will be operated until the casket reaches a height corresponding to the preselected crypt, when the cable '58 in its lateral movement as it is wound on the drum, will swing the lever against the tension of the spring 94, as shown in :broken lines in Fig. 9, to move the short lever arm out of engagement with the switch 95. Thus the switch now opens to disrupt further current supply to the motor 64 to discontinue further elevation of the casket. By now closing the switch 59, the rollers 48 are operated to move the casket into the crypt.
The vertical extensibility of the frame part M not only provides the advantage of increasing the height to which a casket can be elevated beyond that of a non-extensible frame, but in transporting a casket to or from a crypt or when otherwise moving the vehicle from place to place in a mausoleum having doorways or arches of less height than the frame part M when in any degree of extended position it can, by moving it to completely retracted position, be readily passed through such doorways or arches.
Manifestly, my invention is not only operable to elevate a casket to a crypt at any height within the range of vertical extension of the frame part S, but by reversing operation of the motors 55 and 64, it is operable to lower a casket from an elevated crypt once one end of the casket is placed on the rollers 48, and to transport and discharge the casket from the platform.
Although I have herein shown and described only one form of casket transporting vehicle, and one form of automatic control device for the hoisting mechanism thereof, it is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention and the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
WhatI claim is:
1. A vehicle for caskets, including: a dolly; a
6 frame having a stationary part fixed on said dolly, and. a movable part vertically extensible on the stationary part, and having a stop thereon; a casket supporting platform movable vertically on said movable frame part and engageable with said stop; mechanism for elevating said platform on said movable frame part, and into engagement with said stop, and for subsequently extending said movable frame part upwardly on said stationary frame part to further elevate said platform, rollers on said platform for supporting a casket, motor operated means on the platform for driving said rollers in either direction, and means on said dolly operable in all elevated positions of said platform for controlling said motor operated means.
