Definitions

  • This invention relates to headstones/monuments of the type intended to be anchored upright in or on a foundation.
  • one form of the novel cemetery monument of the present invention includes a main body section 1 formed of granite, marble or other type of stone or suitable structural material.
  • Body section 1 includes a front or face panel 19, top panel 3, side panels 5 and a bottom panel 7.
  • the face panel 19 of body section 1 contains at least one hollowed-out aperture area 11 which extends through the width of the headstone from the front face to the rear face thus creating a window through the center area of the headstone which functions as a repository for various items of display at the grave site.
  • Hollowed-out portion 11 contains flat base member 15 which functions as a shelf or ledge upon which the various items of personalty are placed for display.
  • hollowed-out area 11 contains top surface 17 from which items of personalty may be suspended by means of appropriate hook means.
  • Display area 9 is provided for text information, such name and date inscriptions to be carved or for some type of decorative placque to be attached.
  • hollowed out display area 11 may be rendered more secure by means of the attachment of panel members 10, 12, one of which may be transparent to permit viewing of the objects of display.
  • enclosure panels 10, 12 may be secured directly to the front and back faces of the headstone by appropriate mounting means 14.
  • securing the panels might involve the installation of a ledge or indentation 16, around the opening of each side of the headstone so as to receive each flat rigid panel thus allowing each panel to be secured in a way such that it would be flush with the external surface of the front or rear face of the headstone.
  • the mounting means for securing the panels to the front and rear faces of the headstone might include the use of bolts or a bonding agent.
  • long bolts which pass through the hollowed opening could be used to secure the front and rear panels to each other.
  • access to the display area can be achieved through the creation of a door 70 in either the front panel 10 or rear panel 12 by removing or cutting out a portion of the panel to receive a molding 71 or door jamb to which a door may be hingedly attached by appropriate hinges 72.
  • the enclosure panels may be hingedly attached directly to the headstone by means of conventional hinge and bolting means or attached to a secured molding or door frame thus allowing each panel to function as a door for gaining access to the enclosure.
  • An appropriate locking mechanism 73 located on the panels that may function as doors may also be utilized to further secure the display enclosure and prevent removal of display objects contained therein. Additionally, shelf supports may be placed inside the display area to increase the number of display surfaces.
  • the novel hollowed out display area may take many different shapes such as the depicted cross 24 which contains display surfaces 20, 22 and 23.
  • the size and shape of the hollowed out display area may further vary depending on the size and shape of the display case desired and the size and shape of the headstone material being used. Additionally, display area 11 may be created by hollowing out less than the full width of headstone 1, thus creating a display area for viewing from one side only.
  • FIG. 5 and 7 A further embodiment of this novel invention is depicted in Figures 5 and 7 which provide for detachable display devices extending from the top or side surfaces of the headstone in a tasteful and aesthetic way.
  • conventional headstone 30 constructed of conventional granite, marble or other suitable stone or rigid material, provides for display case 32 detachably mounted to top surface 31 by appropriate bolting means as depicted in Figure 6.
  • Display case 32 may contain a plurality of shelves 36 on which various items of personalty 35 may be displayed.
  • Display case 32 may take many different sizes and shapes depending on the size of complimentary headstone 30.
  • display case 32 is detachably mounted to flat top surface 31 of headstone 30 through appropriate bolting means which may include threaded sleeves, anchors or threaded bolts secured into headstone 40 by means of pre-drilled holes 41.
  • the threaded sleeves, anchors or bolts may be secured into monument holes 41 by an appropriate bonding agent, or in the case of threaded sleeves or anchors in the pre-drilled holes, these will be used to receive the threaded bolts and may also be secured by the expansion and compression against the walls of the pre-drilled holes.
  • Display case 32 is detachably mounted to the top surface of headstone 30 by aligning complimentary holes in the bottom surface 33 of display case 32 with anchors, threaded sleeves or threaded bolts set in holes 41 and utilizing either threaded bolts or threaded nuts.
  • the top horizontal side of headstone 30 may be provided with sloped edges 38 so as to facilitate water run-off from top surface 31 of the headstone.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 A further embodiment of this invention is depicted in Figures 7 and 8 which includes plant holders 52 mounted to side surface 51 of headstone 50.
  • appropriate pre-drilled holes 61 are provided to accommodate threaded sleeves, anchors or threaded bolts for means of detachably mounting plant holders 52 to side surface 51 of headstone 50.
  • FIG. 9, 10, 11 and 12 which includes the detachable assembly of vertical members 72 and horizontal member 74 to each other and to the top surface of the main body section of headstone 70 thus defining a storage chamber 76.
  • Panel members 72 and 74 may be formed of granite, marble or other type of stone to match the construction of main body section 70 or other suitable structural material. These members may be secured to each other and to the main body section 70 by means of metal pins or bolts anchored into pre-drilled holes 78 coupled with a sealing or bonding agent.
  • a further embodiment involves the detachable assembly of vertical members 86 and horizontal member 84 to each other and to the top surface of the main body section of headstone 88 thus defining a storage chamber.
  • Figures 11 and 12 further depict back panel member 80 which may be formed of granite, marble or other suitable structural material thus defining a display area which may be viewed from one side only as compared to the open display area as depicted in Figure 9 which may be viewed from both sides of the monument.
  • Suitable attachment means such as metal pins or bolts anchored in pre-drilled holes 82 coupled with a sealing or bonding agent may be employed to create the display area as depicted in Figure 11.
  • the storage and display chamber 76 of Figures 9 and 11 may contain enclosure panels secured to vertical members 72 and 86 by appropriate mounting means with access being achieved through the creation of a door in either the front or rear panel which may be further secured through appropriate locking means. Additionally, shelf supports may be placed inside the display area to increase the number of display surfaces.
