Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 4, 1908.
Application ilefl February 5.1906. Serial No. 299,450.
To all whom 'it may concern: i Be it'known that I, THOMAs J. MOORE, a citiien of the United States, and a resident l .of `Richmond Hill, in the borough of Queens,
in the city of'New York, in the State of New -l York, have invented a new and useful Improyement in' NonCondensing and Stormand I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionofl the to the accompanying drawings,'makin`g a part of the specification, in which* Figure 1 is a front view of the roofportion of a mausoleum or `funeral vault, 'made according'to my invention. Fig. 2 is a verti cal sectional view showing the internal structure. of the same, including the side wall thereof. Fig. 3 is a similar detail view of the roof portion thereof. I View illustrating the invention as employed with a fiat-roof as distinguishedl from a gabled roof. Fig. 5 is a perspective. View of that part of the gabled roof structure shown in Fig. l.
rlhis invention relates more especially to that class of tombs or structuresintended for the reception of thel'dead which are'peculiarly liable to the entrance of moisture through the roof, and to the condensation of moisture upon the internal surfaces of the vialls. 'lhe object of my invention is to'prevent these defects and to provide not only against thejust mentioned 'lra'wbacks by so constructing the roof that the entrance through. the roof of i'noisture from rain, snow and the like is securely prevented, in connection with I the flow or passage of air through the sliruei ture in such manner -as to prevent thc condensation of moisture from the 'air therein so that the entire interior of the vault or mausoleum is at .all times kept dry, and sweet and its deterioration from the action of t-he elements, or the working of moisture causes is entirely prevented.
To this end my invention comprises a novel combination of instrumentalities herein presently described and set forth in the claims.
In Fig. l is indicated a gabled roof portion of a burial or memorial structure of the class hereinhefore ust mentioned. At A, is indicated the upper art of the vertical walls which form the si es of said structure and Fig. 4 is a similarf up'onwhich the gabled roof portion is supported. 'lhis ith the walls, etc., is formed of any suitable stone or other material. 0f this roof portion the tympanum is shown at B, and the facia at C, these points being preferably integral with each other. are the roof stones be of the form shown in Fig. l or any other that may be preferred. For example the plain form shown in the modification, Fig. 4. i
At E, is the ridge-piece fitted between the inner or upper ends of the roof stones D. The wainscoting Ffor a Wall of 'any suitable construction is situated at the usual or any suitable distance from the walls which are. shown at G. 'The term wainsco't as 'just mentioned is intended to cover any appropriate internal Wallsz H, which vmay be Of the usual or an suitable construction within the chamber, ,between the ceiling and 'the uppermost part of the roof above.
It will be observed that only one side of the-structure is shown in.Fig. 2, the other vside being aduplicate of the first and, of
course, having the same construction.
The up er surface of each roof stone VD, 1s ehannele or cut away asshown in dotted D l) of which the edges o, mayv So also the ceiling, l
outline in Fig. 1, and in full lines in the other iigures of the drawings. This cutting away of said upper side of each of the roof stones is clearly shown in that represented in Fig. 5, the excavation preferably does not extend to the end edges of the stone, and is deepest at the inner part, c, of the stone end gradually lcssening to the outer edges I), thereof. The inner edge portion of the stone, except for recess c, retaining the original thickness. The passage recess or broad groove C, is cut in this part or inner border of the stone as shown more fully in Fig. 5.
As the ollioe of the end borders g, is simply to avoid breaking the artistic efl'ect or contour of the end portions at the roof, said bor,- ders may be dispensed with when such considorations are not controlling.
Thelateral surface of the ridge piece E, is l recessed as shown in dotted outline at d, in Fig. 2, and in full lines. at Figs. 3 and (in a short and modified manner in Fig. 4) so that the parts being in position a clear passage is afforded from the chamber I to the outer atmosphere. The recess d, as shown in the drawings is convenient with the recess c, of the roof stone, to form the passage from the chamber I to the atmosphere as just mentioned. By this means I provide for the arrangement of the ventilating outlets withi As the chamber I connects with the space f,
between the wall and the wainscot it 'follows that Jfull and complete access of external air through the lower inlet opening fn, to and through the passage j, between the wall,'and the wainscot to the chamber l, and thence through the outlet opening d, is afforded, at the top of the structure to the external air. This circulation of outside air in contact with the inner surface oi' the walls C, keeps the latter dry by preventing condensation thereon avoiding any accumulation of moisture or of damp air or of noisome vapors in relation to the walls.
lt will be noticed that when the apex y', of the ridge. pieceA E, projects downward into lthe chamber l, it constitutes a deflecting partition along the upper part of the said chamber I, which deflects the air currents from the adjacent passage f, into the adjacent passage d, to the outer air and revents one of the air currents from obstructing the like passage of the opposite one, the arrangement and oper-` ation'of parts being duplicated at opposite sides of the-structure as' hereinbetore VeX- 'plained, and the direction ot movement of the air currents at the lopposite sides being more. clearly shown by the arrows in the drawings from 2 to 4 inclusive.
Instead of locating the air outlet directlyl in the wall itself as shown at h in Fig. 2, an
inverted goose-neck pipe may be employed as the manifest equivalent construction as shown in the said ligure, and the various inlet and outlet openings may, when desired, be protected from access ot insects and the like by -oraminated plates or guards of metal or other material as indicated, tor example, in the dotted outline of the air inlet in Figf.
. What I claim as my invention is:
1.. In a 'vault or mausoleum and in combination, a side wall-having an air inlet at or near its bottom, a roof stone, a ridge-piece, an air passage located between them at their erases place ci juncture, separated from the side wall and roof so as to rovide an air assao'eleadin from the air' inlet at the bottom to the out et at the top, as described.
ln a vault or mausoleum the combination oi aside wall having an air-inlet opening at or near its bottom, a recessed root stoner a ridge-piece having a recess which placed coincident' with that of the roof stone provides an airpassage at the upper part of the structure, a wainscot and a ceiling placed at such distances from the side wall and roof or" the structure to provide air passages from the opening at or near the bottom to that provided at or near the top of the structure, as described.
3. ln a vault or mausoleum, the combination ot a side wall having an air inlet at or near the bottom, a recessed root stone, a ridge-piece having a recess which placed coincident with that oi the root' stone provides an air passage at the upper part oi the structure7 a wairscot placed-at such distance from the wall, as to provide au air passage from the air opening at or near the bottom to that provided at or near the top, and a chamber formed between the ceiling of Jfhe structure and its roof, and a deilector in said chamber provided to the under side ci the ridge-piece, as described.
ln a vault or mausoleum the combination ot a side v; all having an air inlet at or near its bottoni, a recessed roof stone channeled in its upper surface, and recessed from its channel tl'irough the inner edge thereof, a ridge-piece having a recess which is placed coincident with the recess of 'the roof stone and provides an air passage at the upper part ci the structure, a wainscot placed at such distance from the wall as to provide an air passage Jfrom the inlet opening at or near the bottom ol' the structure to the air outlet at HAROLD C. KNOEPPEQ- JAMES A. WHITNEY.
a wainscot and a ceiling the top thereof, whereby the air outlet is protected against entrance of rain, etc., as l described.
