SPECIFICATION forming part of Iletters Patent No. 290,118, dated December 11, 1883, Application filed August t, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH B. SARGENT, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Im. provement in Coffin Ornaments; and I Vdo hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-
Figure 1, a perspective view; Fig. 2, alongi tudinal section.
This invention relates to an improvement in the construction of the ornament used upon coffins and representing a calla or similar flower. In the usual construction the tlower is made as the head of a screw, and by means of which it is secured to the coffin and so asf to rest upon a base of leaves or other suitable ornamentation. In casting the ower, and in order to mold it as a Whole, the spadix is represented as lying flat upon the spathe; and then in plating, to represent the spadix of the usm l gold color, the whole must be plated first with silver, and then the spathe covered with somcsuitablenon-conductor,leavingthespadix exposed to receive the gold plate; but, however well this may be done, the fact that the spadix'lies fiat upon the spathe gives to the The operation of plating, as before described, renders this desirable ornament too costly except for the most expensive ornamentation.
The object of my invention is not only to avoid the expense of two plating operations, in one of which the parts not to loe coveredL must be coated or plated, but to represent the spadix as standing in its natural position in the Iiower, and not lying upon the spathe.
To this end my invention-consists in constructing the spadix detached from the spathe,
and providing the two with means for attachmentfwhereby the two may be plated sepa-` rately, and in their respective colors, and then united, and the spadix stand in its natural position, as more fully hereinafter described. A represents the Vspathe as forming the -head of a screw, B; C, the spadix constructed with a screw upon its inner end, and the spathe 5c the other is plated, as must be the case where 6c the spadix lies flat upon the spathe, and thus standing erect the flower. has a more natural appearance than the usual construction of such iowers in metal.
The shank of the spadixmaybe smooth and the hole in the spathe corresponding, so that the spadix may be driven into the spathe, or it may be otherwise constructed, it only being essential to my invention that the two shall be Y made separate and constructed with suitable 7c means for attachment the one to the other, and so as to leave the spadix standing upright.
`I claim- The herein-described improvement in that class of coffin-ornaments which represent a calla or like flower, consisting inra spadix constructed separate and independent of the spathe, the two constructed for attachment, `and so as to permit the spadix to stand upright within the spathe, substantially as de- 8c scribed.
