METHOD OF SETTING TOMBSTONES OR OTHER HEAVY OBJECTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 646,755, dated April 3, 1900.
Application filed August 3} My invention relates more particularly to a novel method of setting marble, granite, or other stones upon their bases, and has for its object the prevention of the damage to the stone, which is almost invariably done to a greater or less degree under the methods now practiced. In the completed work the die or stone proper rests upon a base. This die has a fiat horizontal bottom and vertical or inwardly-inclined sides, producing sharp corners all the way around the bottom of the die, which are very easily chipped and inj ured. These dies are frequently very heavy, and under the method now practiced are (when derricks or other hoisting appliances are-not available) lifted and set upon the base which is to support them by means of iron'or steel bars, which are placed beneath them and which it is necessary to withdraw from between the die and its base in order to finally seat, the die upon the base. In withdrawing these bars the sharp lower corners of the die before mentioned are almost sure to be more or less damagedeven where great care is taken, and as the die is polished and entirely finished before being set 'upon its base such injury permanently mars its appearance.-
I have overcome the above-described difficulty by providing soluble supporting-blocks for the die, which blocks I place upon the base, preferably at the four corners, and lower the die upon them in the exact vertical position it is topermanent-ly occupy. These blocks support the die a slight distance above the base and permit the free withdrawalof the bars before mentioned, by which the die has been 1899. Serial N0- 726,008. (No model.)
lifted into position on the base, and I then dissolve these supporting-blocks with a suitable solvent and permit the die to gradually descend into place upon the base.
With the foregoing explanation my invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a tombstone or monument composed of a base and die, the die being shown as resting upon the soluble supportin g-blocks before the latter are dissolved; and Fig. 2, a perspective view of one of said supporting-blocks, approximately full size.
Thesame letters of reference are used to designate corresponding parts in the views.
A represents the base, (which may be composed of one or more stones,) B the die, and C the soluble supporting-blocks. These blocks may be formedof any suitable material, but preferably of some cheap substance that may be readily dissolved with water. I have found blocks of calcium chlorid to answer the purpose, but any other suitable material may be used. These blocks may be formed separately, or where they are circular in crosssection, as shown, they may be formed in long sticks,from which blocks of any desired thickness may be cut as needed. In forming the blocks of calcium chlorid the latter isfirst dissolved in water,the11 heated until nearly all of the water is driven off, and the s emiliquid mass then poured into molds and subjected to pressure while hot. After cooling and removal from the molds the blocks are dissolved with water, and the die thereby gradually lowered until it rests directly upon the upper surface of the base A. lhe joint and temporarily resting the stone upon said 10 between the die and base can then be finished blocks, and then dissolving said blocks with with lead in the usual manner.
