Description
UNITED STATES CONRAD ALBERT SIPE, OF WELLS TANNERY, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR DEPOSITING COFFINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 157,550, dated December 8, 1874; reissue BIO/7,227., dated July 18, 1876 application filed June 27, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CONRAD ALBERT SIPE, of Wells Tannery, in the county of Fulton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a Machine for Lowering Goflins into Graves, called an Adjustable OoifiirDepositor, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to easily and securely lower coifins into graves by a combination of aframe placed over them, haviuga drum, D, Figure 2, attached to the frame F, Fig. 2, governed by a crank, K, Fig. 2, and checkpin 0, Fig. 1, the check-pin being kept in position by the spring 5 Fig. 1, and the support 1 on the drum-bearings B, Fig. 1, together with the cords b I), Fig. 1, which are adjustable on the flange c on the drum 1), Fig. 2, and work through thestationary pulleysp p in the frame F, Fig. 2, and the adjustable pulleys A A, Fig. 1, on the bar B, Fig. 1, thereby lowering the cofiin E, Fig. 1, as shown in the perspective views, Figs. 1 and 2, of the accompanying drawing.
After the frame, which may be taken apart at pleasure, is in position, the adjustable pulleys A A, Fig. 1, are placed in the position on the bar B, Fig. 1, required by the length of coffin to be deposited, and the cords b I), Fig 1, are adjusted on the flange con the drum D, Fig. 2, so as to cause the swinging bars e 0, Fig. 1, which are secured to the cords b I) by the hooks S S, Fig. 1, to ridelevel. The straps or. a are then passed beneath the coftin E, Fig. 1, and secured to the swingingbars e c, Fig. 1, by the hooks S S Fig. 2, when the coflin can be lowered with ease and safety by the crank K, Fig. 2, to its resting-place.
The spring L, Fig. 2, is a device for unloosing the ends of the straps a a, which pass beneath the coffin E, Fig. 1, after it has been lowered into the grave. It consists of a piece of tempered wire, coiled under one end of the swinging bars 6 8, Fig. 1, and fastened by the hooks S S Fig. 2, so as to ride level with their tops and beside them.
When the weight is on, the spring L, Fig. 2, is drawn down by the side of the hooks S S Fig. 2, and as soon as the coflin rests at the bottom of the grave it lifts the straps a a, Fig. 1, off the hooks S S Fig. 2, when they can easily be withdrawn, thus obviating all necessity of getting into the grave.
1 claim as my invention The combination, in an adjustable coflindepositor, of the adjustable pulley-blocks A A, portable frame F, lines I) I), adjustably attached to drum D, and spring L, all as set forth.
CONRAD ALBERT SIPE. Witnesses:
