DESIGN FOR A GASKET OR BURIAL-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 12,880, dated April 11, 1882.

Application iled March 2, 1885..

To all whom it mafyconcern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE FERGUSON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Moravia, in the county ot' Cayuga and State of New York, have invented a new and valuable Design for Gaskets, Burial-Cases, Src.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ot' this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a perspective View of the burial case, showing' the design; and Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same. y

This design relates to the form or configuration of caskets or burial-cases; and it consists in shaping the case with side projections, forining the Walls of the arm-recesses and re-en` trant angles at each end of said projections. The general design in plan is that of a cross, the head portion being represented at a, the foot at b, and the side projections or arms at c c. The side projections, c c, are connected to the head and foot portions by the side Walls, d, which form re-entrant angles, as indicated at c, exteriorly, while within the case corre- Tcrm of patcnt14 years.

spending projections of angular form, g, appear. The side projections, c c, forni recesses, within which the arms are designed to rest. Their length is usually about sixteen inches and the distance between their outer walls twentyinches. The head and tnot portions are abouttwelveinches across near their ends,and are usually finished with beveled corners, the entire design being that represented in the drawings.

Ootns have been shaped to contorni nearly to the shape of the human form; but such a configuration is not broadly claimed herein.

What I claim and desire to secure is- The design for easkets or burial-cases, the same consisting of a crossshaped case having the arm-projections c c at the sides and the re-entrant angles e e at the ends ot said armprojections where they join the walls ofthe head and foot portions, as shown.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my nanie in the presence of two witnesses.
