Leners Patent No. 91,611, mm1 Jane 22,1869.
.IMPRoveD BURIAL-CASE.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making prr. of the same.
To all Awhom. it may concern.-
has for its object economy in the manufacture of the same, strength4 and lightness combined, facility in making the cases air-tight, and an improvement in the generalfappearance and iinish of the same.
Leaden burial-cases or colins have been used from a; very remote period, but they have not been verygenerally adopted, on account of the expense attending their manufacture, their extreme weight, and unsightly appearance.
The present invention fully obviates these objections.
In the accompanying sheet of drawingsl Figure 1 is :a plan or top view of my invention, partly in section.
Figure 2, a side view of the same, partly in section. i
' Figure, an enlarged transverse central section of the same, taken in the line x x, lig. 1.
Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, sectional views of diiierentparts of the same,` drawn on an enlarged scale, for the purpose of eshibiting the details of construction. p Y
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
lower ends of upright pieces B, which are also made of sheet-iron folded, swa-ged, or rolled in T-form.
- Bottom pieces, O, are also iitted horizontally in the lim A, at suitable distances apart, the bottom pieces O being constructed precisely like B.
lhe construction ofG, or the wayin which they are folded oriswaged, is shown clearly in lig. 9.
lhe ends of B C are slittedlongitudinally, as shown 4at a, (see iig. 6,) so that one portion .formed by the slit will pass into the perforations of rim A, and the other part lap over one side of A.
After these pieces are thus fitted in the rim, they are secured by solder orby rivets.
The tops of the upright pieces B aretted into a rim, D, in the same way that they are fitted into A.
lhe rim D isfolded or swaged in T-form, like the .pieces B C, (see fig, 5,) the t-op or lid'beiug fitted and' secured on I).
The top or lid is composed of a rim, E, which 1s ,constructed of a strip of sheet-iron, having transverse arched bars, F, attached, which are folded or swaged in T-form, like the pieces B C.
. This top or lid is braced by one or more longitudinal 4flat strips,'G, transverse strips GX, and diagonal strips H, as shown in fig. l, said strips being secured in position by solder or by rivets.
The lower part or body of the burial-case is stayed by longitudinal, oblique, or inclined rods, I, at each side, as shown clearly in fig. 2.
rlhe several parts described, which compose theA frame of the burial-case, are all designed to be galvanized. i
The rim E of the top is crimped or folded to form a pendent lip, b, to fit into the fold of the'top' rim D l of the body of the case, (see tig. 4,) E being secured to D by screws c.
-The covering of the metallic frame is composed of lead and tin, or, instead of tin, some other metal, such as zinc, willv answer, although tin will probably bc most generally used.
'lhese two metals are rolled together, to form sheets of the requisite thickness.
In applying this covering. to the frame, the lead side or portion k is placed in contact with `the frame.
The object of an exterior tin surface, l, or a surface of other material or metal than lead, is to obtain a polished outer surface.
Lead will not receive a polish, but tin' or zinc, espe- "cially the former, may be beautifully polished, so as to `add in an eminent degree to the appearance of the burial-case.
The bottom coveriiig J is cut out to correspond to the bottom of the fi'auic, and the side covering K is cut out of a proper width, corresponding to the height of the body ofthe frame, and the edges of the bottom J and side K are lapped and stitched together with fine wire, d, -brass or copper wire being preferable. (See figs. 7 and S.) l
In addition to this connection, the joint or `seam may be solderedat the outer and inner sides of the stitching, and also between the lapped edges beyond the stitching, and the stitching covered by a longitudinally-slitted or slotted tube, L, soldered in proper position. (See .more particularly figs. 3 and 8.)
' By this arrangement, a, very secure air-tight joint or seam is obtained.
The upright joint or seam of the side covering, of which there may beone ormore, is formed by stitching and soldering in the same wzty as the sidevcovering and bottom are connected, but no tubular covering, L, is required. v
The bottom J is secured to the cross-pieces C by metal straps j, and solder, rivets, or wire, (as shown in fig. 9,) and underneath the Abottom J, wooden strips,
. luuk or board vM ma be secured b jwires which p 1 a 7 y a pass up through the strips' and around the cross-pieces O oi' the flame. 4
l Wooden'strips, N, are also inserted between -the cross-pieces C, on the top of the bottom J, as shown clearly in fig. 9.
'lhe frame of the top or lidr ot' the burial-case is covered ith the rolled sheet-lead and tin 0connected to the frame by solder or rivets, and the edge ofO mayA extend beyond the edgeof said frame, and
vthe edges of O and K connected by solder after the ,lid is screwed on the body or main portion.
ters Patent, is`
1. A burial-case., composed of a frame constructed of. sheet-iron strips, rolled, folded, or swaged in angleform, and covered with 'sheet-lead, or sheet-lead and tin, 'or other met-al, rolled out, in contact with each other, substantiallyas shown and described. l
2. Securing' the pieces B C ot' the frame to the rims A D by slit-ting the pieces B C longitudinally at their ends, and inserting one part of said pieces formed by the slits in perforations in A D, or in the fold of the same, and the other pnrt lapping over-one side of-tbe same, substantially as herein shown and described.
. 3. The diagonal, inclined, or oblique stays or bracerods I I, whenfapplied to or combined with a flame, constructed of' .sheet-metal strips, folded, rolled, or swnged in angle-form, substantially as shown and described, nnd for the purpose speciiied'.
4. Joining the edgesy of' the parts of the burial-case, compi'isingthe' covering, by stitching the edges with tine wire, and then soldering the seme, and either with or without the tubular cap L.
5. The securing of the lining P in the case by means of the rods h, iitted in. the hems in the lining, and secured in the eyes j, substantially as shown and described.
The above speciiiczttion of my invention signed by l FRANK BLOOKVLEY, ALEX. F. ROBERTS.
