Patent

CA 2254594

A casket having a body and a lid hinged to the body along a hinged edge, and an unhinged edge opposite the hinged edge, includes a wedge bar locking mechanism for locking the lid to the body in a closed position. The locking mechanism includes a wedge bar installed within a cavity of the casket body flange which extends along the unhinged edge, the wedge bar interacting with pull-down studs which are mounted on a flange of the lid and which extend into the cavity upon closing the lid via a plurality of openings in the body flange. The wedge bar is supported vertically by a plurality of hangers which reside within the openings in the body flange. Each hanger includes a radial flange and a cylindrical sleeve depending therefrom. The sleeve has two diametrically opposite vertical slots which receive the wedge bar and permit the wedge bar to move along its longitudinal axis for locking and unlocking the mechanism. The slots terminate at their lower ends at support surfaces on which the wedge bar rests. The hangers thereby support the wedge bar, and also act as grommets providing passageways for the pull-down studs.
