Application March 2, 1953, Serial No. 23,854

Term of patent 14 years (Cl. B19-1) To all whom it may concern:

Be lt known that I, William J. Cherry, a citizen of the United States and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and `State of Illinois, have invented a new, original, and ornamental Design for a Burial Couch, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a burial couch embodying my new design with the cover illustrated in closed position;

Fig. 2 is a similar side elevational view as viewed from the side opposite to that illustrated in Fig. 1 and with the lids lowered in open position;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary end elevational view illustrating the left end shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings;

Fig. 4 is a similar view illustrating the opposite end (left end as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings) Fig. 5 is a perspective view illustrating the overall general design of the burial couch; and

Fig, 6 is a fragmentary enlarged perspective view of an important detail of the drawings.

The dominant features of my design are illustrated in the full line portions of the drawings.

I claim:

The ornamental design for a, burial couch, substantially as shown and described.

WILLIAM J. CHERRY.
