Abstract

This invention relates to a holder for a gravestone comprising a base on which the gravestone itself is intended to be applied, the gravestone being fastened to the base in a suitable way, for instance by means of steel studs. According to the invention the holder is characterized in that the base (9) is fastened to a device (1), which is designed in such a way that it surrounds a relatively large on each side of the base (9), i.e. in the front side as well as on the rear side of the gravestone, and that the device (1) is designed in such a way that the weight of that part (3) of the device which is positioned on the one side of the base is essentially the same as the weight of that part (4) which is positioned on the other side of the base.

Description

15 20 25 30 502 132 2 förskjutas på stängema 7, 8 mot eller från rarnpartiet 6. Detta ramparti 6, som enligt denna utföringsfonn har en placering väsentligen mitt på anordningen 1, då balansstödet 5 intagit sitt yttersta läge, är avsett att utgöra ett fäste för en sockel 9. Denna sockel 9 är fastsatt på rampartiet 6 i fästet 1 på olika sätt, exempelvis medelst dubbar 10 och/eller medelst motriktade, fjädrande vinkeljäm 11 a,b:12 a,b såsom visas i figurerna. Därvid uppvisar varje vinkeljärn ett parti 13 som sträcker sig en bit upp på sockeln. Ovanpå sockeln är på vanligt sätt gravstenen 14 avsedd att fastsättas. This frame portion 6, which according to this embodiment has a location substantially in the middle of the device 1, when the balance support 5 has assumed its extreme position, is intended to form a bracket for a base 9. This base 9 is attached to the frame portion 6 of the bracket 1 in various ways, for example by means of studs 10 and / or by means of opposite, resilient angular irons 11 a, b: 12 a, b as shown in the figures. In this case, each angle iron has a portion 13 which extends a bit up on the base. On top of the plinth, the tombstone 14 is usually intended to be fastened.

I fig 3 visas en andra utföringsform av uppfinningen. Denna utföringsforni uppvisar tvâ väsentligen lika, ramforrnade delar 15, 16, som är förbundna medelst två stänger 17, 18, varvid ramdelama kan förskjutas mot eller från varandra på nämnda stänger. De i denna utföringsform ingående delarna är lämpligen gjorda av det/de material som utföringsfonnen enligt fig 1, 2 är gjord av. Ramdelarna 15, 16 uppvisar varsitt parti 19, 20, som är riktat mot varandra. Dessa partier är avsedda att upptaga varsin sockel 21, 22, som i sin tur är avsedd att upptaga. en gravsten 23, 24.Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the invention. This embodiment has two substantially equal, frame-shaped parts 15, 16, which are connected by means of two rods 17, 18, wherein the frame parts can be displaced towards or from each other on said rods. The parts included in this embodiment are suitably made of the material (s) of which the embodiment according to Figs. 1, 2 is made. The frame parts 15, 16 each have a portion 19, 20, which are directed towards each other. These portions are intended to receive each base 21, 22, which in turn is intended to receive. and tombstones 23, 24.

Denna andra utföringsfonn av uppfinningen kan ses som en hopbyggnad av två gravstensfásten och är lämpligen avsedd för mindre gravplatser, exempelvis umgrav- platser.This second embodiment of the invention can be seen as a construction of two tombstone attachments and is suitably intended for smaller burial sites, for example burial sites.

Genom dessa beskrivna arrangemang kommer gravstenens och sockelns hela tyngd att fördela sig över en större yta, vilket leder till minskat marktryck och starkt förbättrad stabilitet hos gravvården. Stabiliteten innebär att om markförhållandena förändras, såsom sker då tjälen lyfter, kommer hela gravvårdskonstruktionen att följa med i rörelsen och sedan återgå till nonnalläget då markförhållandena stabiliserats.Through these described arrangements, the entire weight of the tombstone and plinth will be distributed over a larger area, which leads to reduced ground pressure and greatly improved stability of the grave care. The stability means that if the ground conditions change, as happens when the frost lifts, the entire grave care structure will follow the movement and then return to the normal position when the ground conditions have stabilized.

Den nya uppfinningen innebär sålunda att kyrkogårdspersonalen slipper justera gravstenama varje vår, vilket naturligtvis ger stora inbesparingar för kyrkan. Den största fördelen är emellertid att olycksrisken för både kyrkogårdspersonal och besökare minskar.The new invention thus means that the cemetery staff do not have to adjust the tombstones every spring, which of course provides great savings for the church. The biggest advantage, however, is that the risk of accidents for both cemetery staff and visitors is reduced.

Dessutom ger det ett mycket trevligare intryck för de besökande att gå på en kyrkogård med gravstenar som står upprätta.In addition, it gives a much nicer impression for visitors to walk in a cemetery with tombstones standing upright.

Uppfinningen är naturligvis ej begränsad till de angivna utföringsformema utan kan modifieras inom ramen för efterföljande patentkrav. Sålunda skulle de ramforrnade delarna av betong kunna ersättas av betongplattor. Det viktiga är nämligen det faktum att en stor omslutningsyta uppnås på ömse sidor av gravstenen, och att gravstensfåstets vikt på ömse sidor av gravstenen är väsentligen lika.The invention is of course not limited to the stated embodiments but can be modified within the scope of the appended claims. Thus, the framed parts of concrete could be replaced by concrete slabs. The important thing is the fact that a large enclosing area is achieved on both sides of the tombstone, and that the weight of the tombstone attachment on both sides of the tombstone is essentially the same.
