Definitions

  • a container chiefly a coffin, made of a plurality of rigid sections, say a body and a cover, wherein fluid tightness is obtained by a deformable lining of the inner surface of each section, the different linings extending outwardly together through the clearance between cooperating sections, so as to be welded along their edges within said clearance or slightly outside the latter.
  • the fluid treatment of a corpse or the like object to be preserved within the container is obtained by a fluid-feeding connection welded within the packing formed by the superposed welded edges of the linings and extending outside the container, so that vacuum and treating fluid may be applied in succession inside the latter.
  • My invention has for its object to cut out these drawbacks and to provide coffins and the like fluidtight containers constituted by rigid sections with a fluidtight packing which it is an easy matter to close after the chamber inside the container has been filled with the desired fluid, the sections being thereafter assembled by conventional mechanical means which are not fluidtight.
  • each rigid section is first provided along an uninterrupted area extending adjacent the contacting area between cooperating sections, with a continuous deformable strip of a weldable material, which strip is fluidtightly secured by gluing or rolling to the surface of the corresponding section after which the cooperating sections are superposed with a clearance between them, the two continuous deformable strips are drawn outside the container chamber through said clearance and are welded together along their edges, following which the two welded strips are urged back towards the chamber in the container and the rigid sections are rigidly interconnected by mechanical means.
  • the strips may be rigidly secured to the inner surfaces of the stiff container walls through any means ensuring a suitable interconnection and fluidtightness.
  • the edge of the strip may be glued, welded or held fast by any suitable clamping means.
  • coflins made of a resin adapted to be polymerized and provided with internal reinforcements or otherwise it is possible to embed the edges of the strips inside the innermost layer of resin.
  • the coupling or couplings, connecting the container with the means subjecting it to vacuum and introducing anti-putrefactive or the like fluids into it are fitted on one of the fluidtight strips or else are inserted during welding inside the weld between the two associated strip edges. Since the coupling or connection thus inserted is no longer apparent to View, once the container has been closed, it may be constituted by a mere tube of a thermo-weldable plastic material which is crushed and closed by welding after use.
  • My invention also covers a fluidtight container and chiefly coflins closed in accordance with my improved method and provided, along an uninterrupted line drawn within the connecting line between two adjacent sections with a continuous deformable strip of a weldable material.
  • the coffin illustrated includes in the usual manner a chest body constituted by a shaped bottom board 1 and boards 2 forming the sidewalls. Over the upper edges of the chest there is fitted a cover 3 held fast by screws 4.
  • the fluidtightness of the coflin is obtained by rolling over the inner surfaces of the different sections of the container films 5 of a thermoplastic material the edges of which films extend freely beyond the edges of the corresponding sections, following which the boards of the chest are assembled and the free adjacent edges of the films 5 on the cooperating sections are welded together, the excess portions of the films being cut off whereby fluidtight welds 6 are obtained along the inner corners of the chest.
  • the upper free edges 8 of the films 5 are folded outwardly over the upper edges of the chest body and the outwardly projecting portions of said free edges are welded onto the free edge 9 of the corresponding film lining the chest cover so as to form a weld 10 outside the chest.
  • a connection 11 formed by a short tube of thermo-plastic material. Over this tube is fitted a nozzle connected with fluid-feeding means adapted to set the container under vacuum. After producing an at least partial vacuum inside the container chamber whereby the welded edges and connections are urged inwardly, the nozzle is connected with the supply of an anti-putrefactive fluid such as a suitable gas, say carbon dioxide,
  • connection 11 it is also possible, if two connections such as 11 are provided of which one can dip down to the bottom of the chest, to execute a washing with an anti-putrefactive liquid, said washing being produced for instance by an immersion associated with the introduction during the draining of said liquid of an anti-putrefactive or neutral atmosphere.
  • a slightly reduced pressure in maintained inside the container, so that the packing formed by the film edges may remain in its drawn in condition, taking into account the reduction in volume obtained when positioning the cover.
  • the connection 11 is then crushed and welded fluidtightly and the cover is set in position by a final securing through the agency of the screws 4.
  • the connection 11 is shown in the drawing in its condition prior to crushing and welding.
  • My invention is also applicable to the case of coflins provided with safety valves for the outlet of gases, although such valves would then be theoretically unnecessary.
  • the lining should be bestowed with suflicient freedom for it to lie sulficiently inside the container with reference to the welded joint, so that said lining may be protected against risks of melting when the lead lining is being welded.
  • My invention may also be executed in the case of cofiins made of metal or of plastics.
  • a method for fluidtightly closing coflins and the like containers made of rigid assembled sections consisting in lining the inner surface of each rigid section of the container along a continuous area extending adjacent the connecting area between cooperating sections with an uninterrupted deformable strip of a weldable material fluid tightly engaging said area of the corresponding rigid section, assembling said sections with a clearance therebetween, drawing outwardly through said clearance the edges of the uninterrupted deformable strips engaging said sections, welding said interengaging edges of said strips projecting outside the container, urging back said welded strip edges towards the inside of the container and mechanically interconnecting the rigid sections together.
