| 20120124793 | LIGHTWEIGHT CASKET HAVING FOLDABLE SIDES - A casket assembly includes a bottom panel, side panels, end panels, and mechanically strengthening insert. The bottom panel is formed of a pliable material. The side panels are formed intrinsically with the bottom panel. Each side panel includes a lower section and an upper section foldably attached thereto. The lower section extends vertically upward from the bottom panel. In a first configuration, the upper section extends upward from the lower section. In a second configuration, the upper section extends in a direction other than vertically upward from the lower section. The mechanically strengthening insert is disposed at least in part adjacent the lower section of at least one side panel. The end panels are formed intrinsically with the bottom panel. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120104139 | Reel Stand Brake System - A braking mechanism for a reel stand has been developed. The braking mechanism is affixed to a reel support member. The reel support member is configured to rotatably support at least a part of a reel. The braking mechanism includes a brake lever connected to the reel support member at a pivot point, and a braking member connected to the brake lever. The pivot point is offset from an axis of rotation of a reel supported by the reel support member. The braking member is configured to be positionable against the reel supported by the reel support member with an adjustable braking force. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20110107567 | Throw Assembly for Casket - A throw assembly for a casket container includes a corrugated paper having a corner cutout configured to be longitudinally folded along each of two parallel longitudinal lines and transversally folded about the corner cutout, and a fabric member disposed over the corrugated paper structure, and fixedly coupled to the corrugated paper structure along at least one edge of the fabric member. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110005048 | Urn with Latch - A cremation urn includes a base and a lid. The base has a wall defining an opening through the wall. The wall has an internal surface and an external surface. The wall defines a rim. The lid includes a cover for engagement with the base and an integral catch. The catch includes a protrusion extending from the cover and sized to fit into the opening to selectively secure the lid to the base. The protrusion includes a wall engaging surface for engaging the wall and an external surface extending from the wall engaging surface in a direction opposed to the cover, the wall engaging surface having a width less than a length of the external surface in a direction opposed to the cover. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110000059 | Lightweight Viewing Casket With Reinforcing Lid and Method of Using Same - A casket arrangement includes a casket body, a first lid portion, and a second lid portion.

The second lid portion includes a tab configured to fit under a top panel of the first lid portion. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100313396 | Casket Assembly with Nesting Lids - A casket includes a lid and a container. The container is configured to receive the lid in a first configuration for shipping, and in a second configuration for funereal purposes. In general, the lid in the first configuration is detached and inverted with respect to the second configuration, particularly when the lid is closed in the second configuration. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20090273120 | Method of molding reel flanges and tool arrangement thereof - A method of molding a flange uses a first tool element and a second opposing tool element. The first tool element defines a negative of at least a portion of a first side of a flange, and the second tool element defines a negative of at least a portion of the second side of the flange. The method includes providing a set of blocks for insertion into a plurality of recesses in the second tool element, the set of blocks insertable in a plurality of configurations, each configuration defining a negative of a set of retention features on the second side of the flange. The plurality of configurations define differing configurations of retention features on the second side. The method also includes inserting at least some blocks into the second tool element to form a selected one of the plurality of configurations, and performing injection molding using the first tool element and the second tool element. | 11-05-2009 |
