Description
Patented Oct. 9, 1951 ATEZN-T OFFICE v omtrmva EMBLEM.
Hamid nousei, w terlomilewa; Application Augustzll, 1947, serinnoumm'zc 1 Cl'aini. (01. 40-10) scribed hereinafter Y which is so constructed and arranged to provide an emblem to be worn or supported in memory? of a deceased person.
Another object of this invention is to provide an emblem orbu'tton which is particularly constructed and arranged for wearing at afuneral, having a card on which may be noted the relation of the wearer to the deceased. Such an emblem would b'e'p'rovided as a great help to the undertaker or ushers at the funeral in determin-' ing the seating arrangementof the mourners.
A still further object of this invention isto provide a device of this. kind which may be pro-' vided with suitable verse and other indicia for noting the. memory ofa deceased person; which device i's-so constructed and arranged that: in one position thereof itwillbe fiat so that it ni'ay be readily mailed in a fiat envelope. In its eitteand ing position a portion of the. device will be folded back so that the emblem or card may bev supported on a desk or other fiat surface.
Yet another object" ofthis invention to provide a device of this kind which is so constructed and arranged that it may be readily attached to or secured on a flower pot or the like which will be placed over the grave of a person at the cemetery.
With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the arrangement, combination and details of construction disclosed in the drawings and specifications, and then more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings: 7
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a mourning emblem constructed according to an embodiment of this invention,
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof,
Figure 3 is a front elevation of a modified form of this invention,
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the device shown 2 petals of arose- Theflat strip of material l0 may bemade of cloth, paper, plastic or other suitable material adapted to be worn as a lapel button or the like. 7 I ,4 The material [0 is'formed of a single flat plate or strip having; arcuate corners as H spaced; around the outer. edge thereof and inwardly ex tending lines I2 which may be printed on or formed in other suitable manner toresemble the petalsflof arose. Preferably the device II) will be.- colored black as typical of a mourning emblem: g g v A card holding plate [4 is fixed to the front side ofthe plate or sheet of material" It). A rivet l5 engages through the rear wall of the plate [4 and through the material ID for fixedly securing the card supporting platethereon. A pin I6 is secured on the rear side of the flat strip of material Hi to provide a meansfor attaching. the device III to thelapel of a. coat or on other fabric. The card holdingplate I4 is formed of a flat strip of material having reverted. side edges as IT forming inwardly opening confronting guide members The guide members are disposed on;
a pair ofopposite sides of. the plate 4. One end edge of the plate I4 is reverted as indicated at '18 to form a stop at one' end of the guide channelsv I11. A card [9P adapted to be slidingly e11 gaged in the plate M by engagement of the side edges thereof in the guide members [1. The card l9 may be covered with the transparent plate or the card may be placed in the plate l4 by itself.
The device shown in Figures 1 and 2 is particularly arranged for wearing at a funeral by persons related to or intimately connected with the deceased person.
The device In is adapted to be worn with the card l9 having the name or relation of the wearer printed thereon so that an undertaker or usher attending the funeral may know the relation of the wearer to the deceased for properly leading the person to a selected seat. It is considered that devices of this kind may be distributed either by the undertaker before the funeral by placing suitable cards in the device, or they may be printed by a manufacturer having the cards fixed therein to be selectively distributed at the desired time.
In Figures 3 and 4 there is shown a modified form of this invention in which a card 20, which may be formed of any suitable material, is provided with a rose shaped configuration 2| at its upper end. It is contemplated that the name of the deceased person will be printed on the upper end of the card 20 as indicated by the numeral vase or receptacle 32.
22. A suitable picture or other design as 24 will be placed substantially in the center of the rose configuration. Other desired indicia as a suitable verse and the birth and date of death will also be provided on this card 20.
The card is provided for mailing to a friend or relative in memory of the deceased person and is provided at its upper end with a tab 25 having a central opening .26 for. securing the card t a suitable attaching-device. A nail or other suitable hanger may engage loosely through the opening 26 for supporting the card 20 on a wall.
The lower end of the card 20 is provided on its rear side with a supporting plate or fiat strip of material 21 which overlies the downwardly exall variations falling within the purview of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: r
A grave marker comprising an elongated substantially straight stake for engagement in the ground and having a pair of opposed flat faces, a substantially fiat decorative emblem plate arranged adjacent to one of said flatfacesof the stake between .the ends of the stake and being elongated longitudinally of the stake and extending laterally beyond the opposite longitudinal edges of the stake, a fastener element extending through the stake and emblem plate tending portion 28 of the card 20. The reinforc ing member 2'! on the rear side of the card Z0 is formed with a pair of horizontal vertically extending slits as 29 which extend upwardly from the bottom edge thereof. That portion of the supporting member 21 between the slits provides a supporting arm- 30 which may be hingedly moved to a rearwardly extending position as indicated clearly in Figure 4. That portion 30 which extends rearwardly of the card provides a supporting arm for supporting the device on a table top or other flat surface.
In Figure 5 there is shown a second modified form of this invention in which a flat card or emblem plate 30 is provided for attachment to a suitable standard or stake 3| or to a flower The card 30 or emblem plate is substantially the same configuration as that shown in Figures 3 and 4 and is fixed on the stake 3| by a rivet 34 or other suitable attaching means. The stake 3| is disposed on the rear side of the card 30. An upwardly extending inverted U-shaped clamp or attaching element 35 is fixed to or formed on the upper end of the card 30 for engagement over the upper edge of a flower bowl 32. The inverted clamping member 35 may be formed of metal or other suitable material for clamping the card to the flower pot. The inverted U-shaped member 35 is provided in its'top with an aperture 35'- for receiving the stake 3 I, as shown.
I do not mean to confine myself to the exact details of construction herein disclosed but claim for securing them together, and an inverted U-shaped attaching element integrally secured to one end of the emblem plate at the transverse center thereof and including a leg spaced laterally of the other fiat face of the stake for engagement over the upper edge of a flower receptacle to releasably position the receptacle adjacent to said other face of the stake, the emblem plate being disposed opposite the flower receptacle for substantially concealing the receptacle from View from the side of the stake adjacent to the emblem plate, the top of the inverted U-shaped attaching element having an aperture receiving the stake.
