COFFlN-REST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 714,663, dated December 2, 1902,
Application filed July 5, 1902. Serial No. 114,427. (No model.)
T on whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, JAMES L. BRANNOOK, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Fe-,
licity, in the county of Olermont and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Casket or Ooffin Rest, of which the following is a ro porting and facilitating and handling a casket at the grave prior to lowering the same therein; and it is theobject of my invention to provide a support that shall be strong, simple, and durable in construction, cheap as to I 5 cost, one that is easily and conveniently handled, andone in which there will be no parts to get out of order or lost.
WVith these objects in view my invention comprises certain details of construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts, as will be fully described in the following specification and pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the drawings, in whicl1- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the general application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the supports. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective View of a sliding truck. Fig. 4 isa longitudinal section taken 0 about on the line 4 4 of Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a detail section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4.
In carrying out my invention I employ two supports, and as each is constructed exactly alike the description of one will suffice for the other.
Each support comprises a bar or beam A,
having a channel-way or guide A formed in the upper face thereof and nearer one end of the bar than the other, and in this guideway is arranged to travel two rollers B B, carried by a truck B, over the upper face of which is arranged a metallic wear plate or band C,
which extends over the entire upper surface of the truck and terminates at its ends in angle portions which are held under the ends of the truck. A U-shaped band D encircles the beam A and has its ends securely held to the sides of the truck B for the purpose of holding the said truck in position upon the bar. In practice I prefer to provide the truck with recesses B in which the rollers are held by means of short shafts B that are securely held in the sides of the truck, as shown.
By reference to the drawings it will be seen that the rollers are of such size as to hold the 5 5 truck a very slight distance above the beam, and by arranging the retaining-band D to snugly fit under the bar the truck will be allowed to travel freely upon the bar for the distance of the grooves; but as it reaches either end of the channel-way the roller will engage the inclined end A causing the band to bind upon the lower edge of the bar and thereby preventing the truck from slipping entirely off the bar.
A short cross-bar A is arranged at one end of the bar or beam for the purpose of preventing the beam from slipping when the casket is moved along into position above the grave.
In operation the supports are arranged across the grave near the ends thereof and the roller-truck pushed to one, end of the beams and to the side of the grave. The
casket is then placed upon the truck, when I it may be pushed over the grave and in position to be lowered, which is done in the usual way with straps, the casket being first raised sufliciently to permit the supports to he Withdrawn when it is finally lowered into the grave. By this arrangement the handling of the casket is much facilitated and the awkwardness usually displayed by the pail-bearers while conveying the casket to its position is obviated.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a device of the kind described, the combination of a beam, a roller-truck slidably 0 mounted thereon and means for retaining the roller-truck in position, substantially as described.
2. In a casket-support the combination, of a beam having a channel-way, a truck having rollers that are designed to operate in the channel-way, and a band carried by the truck and encircling the beam, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. In a casket-support the combination of I00 the beam having a channel-Way arranged in ingiate connected to the roller-truck and its upper face, a cross-bar connected to the encircling the said bar or beam, substantially beam upon its lower face, a roller-truck slidas shown and described.
