This ll/OII rljts gn-@Tally 4l'htldlS dand more particularly to handles for burial ca'skets 'and the mounting thereof. l
VIt is an object df vmy invention to produce. a
`handle for a casket that is hingedly mounted so that when not in useit may hangldown alongside me wau'tf the casket.
Another object is to li-mit the outward swinging movement of the handle. g Y,
Still another object is to relieve ,thehinge portion of the handle from a portion Aof the stress in lifting the casket. Y f l' A further object is to conceal the stress relieving and movement limiting means and thereiby make the handle more compact and pleasing in ajepeararice.` I
Yet another object is to provide a handle with such stress relieving and movement limiting means having a minimum of metal parts.
Another object is to provide a hinged casket handle with means in common for limiting the movement of said handle, for relievingk the stress from the handle and for concealing said limiting and relieving means.
Another object is to provide a wooden hinged handle of this type that is economical to manufacture.
In the drawing,
Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing a Wall of a casket on which is mounted one form of my improved handle.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the plane of the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows.
Fig. 3 is a front view of the handle.
The casket is provided with a number of hinged handles 5 for supporting a hand rail 6 along its wall 'I for lifting and carrying the casket.
Each handle comprises a block having an inner nat surface 8 and a suitably designed outer surface 9. The handle is connected to the wall 'I n by a hinge I0, the hinge pin II being positioned adjacent the upper edge thereof. The lower portion is somewhat enlarged and provided with an opening I2 for receiving the hand rail.
The hinge I has two leaves I3 and I4, one of which I3 is suitably secured to the flat inner surface 8 of the handle as by screws I5, I5, and the other leaf I4 is secured to the outer casket wall. The anchor bolt I8 is preferably secured in place by two nuts Il and I8 and may also serve to secure the hinge leaf I4 to the casket wall.
The hinge leaf I3 on the handle has an elongated slot I9 adjacent its central portion. Each Vplate for 4this recess 20.
The inclined shoulder at the back of the headA of the bolt provides a convenient abutment surface for engagement by the outer leaf of the hinge when the handle `ris raised so that the strains are better distributed.
It will benoted that the handle may be made as an article of manufacture to be supplied to casket manufacturers and that it permits a wide scope in the design and material of handle employed, since the handle mounting is entirely concealed behind the handle.
I claim: A l
1. In a casket, a handle member having a bod with a recess, a hinge connection between the handle and side wall of the casket including two hinge leaves, an elongated member passing through the wall of the casket and extending laterally and exteriorly thereof, through one leaf of the hinge and through the other leaf and extending into the handle recess and having an enlarged head within said recess for limiting the outward swinging movement of the handle.
2. In a casket, a wooden handle having a body portion hingedly mounted thereon and means in common for limiting the movement of the handle, for taking part of the stress off the handle and for concealing said limiting and relieving means including a recess in one surface of said body portion, a stationary rigid bolt passing through one wall of the casket and extending into said recess and a closure plate for said recess in sliding and freely through largement for limiting the movement of the handle.
4. A handle with means for hinging it to a casket wall, comprising a body portion having a' recess in one surface thereof, a hinge having one leaf secured to the body portion over saidrecess, said hinge having a slot aligned with said recess, the other being adapted to be secured to a casket Wall and a stationary anchor bolt secured to the latter leaf and extending through said slot into said recess and having an enlarged head in said recess ,adapted to limit` the relative movement yof the hinge leaves.
5. In a casket a wall having an opening there-l through, a handle having a body portion with a recess in one surface thereof, aV hinge connection `between said Wall and handle includingra pair of hinge plates, one of said hinge plates being fastened to'the body portion over said recess and being provided with a slot communicating with said recess, the other of saidhinge plates being Vfastened to the wall and being formed with an opening and a stationary bolt passing through the openings in said Wall and hinge plate and through said slot and extending into said recess, andY an enlargement on :said bolt in said recess adapted to engage Vthe Walls of said slot for limit- 6.
