Claims.
This invention relates to an improved handle construction of the class intended for use especially on burial cases or coflins.
Objects of the invention are the production of a handle of the aforesaid class that is neat and attractive of appearance; that is light of weight and very strong; that is economical of manufacture; that, although composed of hollow elements, gives the impression of solidity and sturdiness; and that is especially convenient of assembly and attachment, involving the minimum of fastening means for holding the parts together and for attaching the handle to a coffin or other object. In the preferred form of the invention, a single means serves the two-fold purpose of holding the handle bar and elements of each of the mounting units together and to the object to which the handle is applied.
A more limited object is to provide a handle mounting consisting of a base and cap, either or both of which is or are die stamped and formed from sheet metal and which interfit in such manner and are so shaped as to insure rigidity and strength.
The foregoing objects and advantages, with others hereinafter appearing, are attained in the embodiments of the invention illustrated in the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification and wherein Fig. 1 is a view showing the handle in side elevation attached to a coflin that is illustrated by broken lines; Fig. 2 is an end elevation of a similar character, with the handle bar sectioned on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Figs. 3 and 4 are sections on the respective lines 33 and 44 of Fig. 1, and drawn to a scale considerably enlarged over that of the previous views; Fig. 5 is a face view of the base of one of the mounting units; Fig. 6 is an inside View of the cap of one of such units; Fig. '7 is a vertical section through a modified form of the mounting unit; and Fig. 8 is a sectional detail on the correspondingly numbered line of Fig. 7.
By means of a plurality of mounting units A, the handle bar B is attached to the side of a burial case or cofiin C. The handle bar B preferably consists of a piece of tubing of appropriate length, having ornamental knobs I) applied to its ends. The tubing may be of any approved cross section, preferably one that will impart an ornamental appearance to the bar and effect harmony with the design of the mounting units.
Each mounting unit consists of a base I and a cap 2. These parts are preferably constructed of sheet metal of suitable gauge, and the margin of the base is formed to produce a fiange 3 whose edge portion is at substantially right angles to the general plane of the base. Struck from the body portion of the base, desirably a little below its vertical center, are lugs 5, and the material between the openings from which the lugs are 5 struck constitutes a strip 6, the same being provided with a perforation I that may be countersunk, as shown. The lugs 5 are bent forwardly from the base I at a little less than right angles to the general plane of the base so that they con- 10 verge slightly, and their forward edges have relatively shallow notches that constitute seats 8 for the handle bar B. Above and below the openings from which the lugs 5 are struck are depressed portions l0 and l I, respectively, each having 115 parts I3 that extend slightly beyond the adjacent ends of the lugs 5. A hole [4 is desirably formed in the depressed portion Ill near the top of the base.
Upper and lower marginal portions l5 and I6 20 of the previously mentioned cap 2 fit within the edges of the respective depressed portions l0 and H, the sides of the cap having deep notches H to accommodate the handle bar B when the cap is applied to the base. notches ll are shaped to fit the contour of the outer side of the handle bar B and to slightly overlap the upper and lower ends of the lugs 5,
V the ends of the marginal portions I5 and N5 of the cap fitting within the parts 13 0f the depressed, 30 portions I0 and II.
Holes are formed in the handle bar and in the cap of each mounting unit in alignment with the perforation I of the base, the material surrounding the hole in the cap being depressed inwardly, as indicated at [8. A bolt 20, whose head has a cruciform slot or other means enabling it to be held against turning while giving it an ornamental appearance, extends through the aligned holes of the cap, bar and base, and 40 through a hole in the side of the burial case" or coflin C, beyond which a nut 2| is applied to the bolt for holding the parts tightly together and to the case or coffin. If desired, the bases l of the mounting units may be held in place on the side of the case or coffin, by screws 22" engaged through the holes [4, previously'to applying the bar and caps to the bases and attaching them together and to the case by means of the bolts 20. Also, the assembly including the handle bar B and the caps or bases of the mounting units A, may be held together previously to applying the assembly to the case or coflin by applyingnuts to the bolts 20 and turning them up against the rear sides of the strips 6 (one of The edge portions ofthe 25 ing in the other direction from the plane theresuch nuts being shown in dotted lines at 23 in Figs. 3 and 4).
The bases and caps of the mounting units may be formed to produce various kinds of ornamental effects, as will be readily understood.
In the modified form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8, a reinforcing member 25 is disposed vertically within the base I and is desirably held in place by tongues 26 that are struck from the depressed portion Ill of the base. Bolts 21 are adapted to be extended through registering holes in the base and member 25 and in the side of the case or coflin C and have nuts 28 applied to their inner ends. The member 25 has a threaded aperture in register with the holes in the handle bar and cap 2 so that a bolt 29 may be inserted through said holes and screwed into the aperture of the member 25 for securing the parts together.
As will be seen from the foregoing, my invention provides a very simple and inexpensive handle that may be easily and quickly attached to an object andthat is very strong, yet light of 1 weight, and while I have particularly described '25 the present embodiments, I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the structural details thereof further than is required by theterms of the appended claims and the state of the prior art.
