摘要： A method for producing a panel for a back-lighted display sign comprises the steps of impressing recesses about one surface of a planar sheet of rigid foam to reduce the sheet thickness in a pattern corresponding to a desired pattern of recesses. Apertures are also formed through the sheet at locations each bounded by an identical corresponding portion of each recess. The sheet of foam is then sandwiched between outer cover layers to complete the basic panel structure for a display sign having multiple recesses containing discs which are moved between bi-stable positions covering the apertues or clear of the apertures.

摘要： A combination burial vault and casket and funeral and burial method or system using the same in a funeral and burial service. An interiorly decorated "surround" or false casket frame having a hinged top is disposed over the base of the vault and cooperates with the interiorly decorated base of the burial vault to provide a casket during visitation at the funeral home. Carrying handle structures are provided for carrying either the assembled base and the surround or false casket or the assembled base and cover of the vault, with the remains of the deceased therein, to the cemetary after the visitation and funeral services at the funeral home.In one practice of the invention, when the base and cover of the vault are assembled at the close of services at the funeral home, the surround or false casket with the carrying handle structures thereon is retained at the funeral home for reuse.In another practice of the invention, the surround or false casket, assembled over and with the base of the vault, with the remains of the deceased therein, is carried to the cemetary, whereupon the surround or false casket with the carrying handle structures thereon, is returned to the funeral home for reuse.The assembled base and cover of the vault are hermetically sealed prior to interment of the vault and generally U-shaped resilient clamping and reinforcing members are attached to the sealed mating marginal or peripheral sealing flanges of the assembled vault prior to interment.

摘要： A burial vault including a base and a cover or dome molded from moldable plastic resinous material. The base and cover or dome have reinforcing ribs formed integrally therewith on the inner surfaces of the side and end walls thereof. The base has a pattern of reticulated reinforcing ribs formed integrally with and on the inner surface of the bottom of the base, and the cover or dome has a comparable pattern of reticulated reinforcing ribs formed integrally with and on the inner or lower surface of the top wall of the cover or dome, and the base has reinforcing structures formed integrally therewith at the bottom corners of the base. The base and the cover or dome have reinforcing ribs formed on the inner surfaces of the side and end walls thereof. The base and the cover or dome have outwardly projecting marginal or peripheral sealing flanges formed integrally therein at the upper and lower edges thereof, respectively, and these sealing flanges have mating and coacting sealing tongues and grooves formed therein. At least certain of the walls of the base and the cover or dome have geometrically shaped recesses formed in the outer surfaces thereof and these recesses are adapted to receive correspondingly geometrically shaped decorative colored panels or inserts adhesively mounted therein. At least certain of the reinforcing ribs on the inner surfaces of the side walls of the base and the dome or cover have coacting latching grooves and tongues formed therein for securely latching the base and the cover or dome together in assembled relationship.

摘要： A combination burial vault and casket and funeral and burial method or system are provided. The burial vault comprises a base which includes a generally rectangular-shaped upright interiorly decorated inner wall structure having a closed bottom and an open top. A "surround" or false casket includes a generally rectangular-shaped box-like frame having handle members attached thereto, and having an open top and an open bottom and an interiorly decorated hinged top or closure member. In use the "surround" or false casket is arranged over and encloses the inner upright wall structure and bottom wall or supporting platform of the base and is releasably latched thereto at the funeral home with the remains of the deceased arranged in the casket assembly provided by the inner upright wall structure and its bottom wall or supporting platform and the "surround" or false casket enclosing the same. After the funeral service at the funeral home the "surround" or false cakset is unlatched from the inner upright wall structure and its bottom wall or supporting platform and is retained at the funeral home for reuse. The inner upright wall structure is then hermetically sealed and a dome-shaped cover member is arranged over and hermetically sealed and mechanically fastened to the inner upright wall structure and the bottom wall or supporting platform of the base of the vault at the funeral home. The thus assembled and hermetically sealed vault, with the remains of the deceased therein, is then transported from the funeral home to the cemetery for a graveside or other cemetery service, and for interment in the grave opening.

摘要： A photographic developing tank is described to aid in processing light-sensitized photographic materials such as paper, plates, or film. The tank is formed as a unitary body structure having an enclosed water cavity extending between and defined by integral walls of the tank structure. A top wall of the structure includes two or more indentations to form integral photographic processing trays. The indentations extend downwardly into the water cavity to bottom walls that are spaced upwardly from the unitary base wall of the tank. Drain passageways extend from the indentations outward through the cavity to the exterior of the tank. Petcocks are provided at the outer ends of the passageways to allow individual drainage of the fluid contents from the respective trays. Inlet and discharge ports are provided that enable water to flow through the water cavity. The water while in the water cavity completely surrounds the peripheral walls of the indentations as well as the bottom walls thereof. The indentation walls are of uniform thickness so heat is transferred evenly through the walls to the processing chemicals held within the indentations. Consequently the chemicals in the various trays are held to the same temperature to improve the photographic developing process.

摘要： A display sign of the type comprising a back-lighted panel having a plurality of discrete light-transmitting areas and controlled opaque discs which selectively overlie the individual light-transmitting areas to produce a desired visual pattern of light transmitted through the panel. The improvement comprises discrete projections for supporting the individual discs. The arrangement of projections serves as structural reinforcement in the panel.
