ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a memorial marker. More particularly, the present invention relates to a memorial marker for staking in a grave.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous innovations for markers have been provided in the prior art that will be described. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, however, they differ from the present invention.
A FIRST EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. Des. 376,890 to Caldwell teaches the ornamental design for a memorial marker.
A SECOND EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 1,310,369 to Palmer teaches a marker having a casing comprising a metallic sheet having its upper, lower, and one side edge bent rearwardly and connected together to define grooves. The sheet has an enlarged central display opening and an outstruck portion surrounding the opening. A plate of similar contour as that of the sheet slidably fits in the grooves from the remaining side of the sheet, and a bendable tongue carried by the latter mentioned side edge of the sheet and adapted to be arranged against the rear of said plate.
A THIRD EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 2,017,335 to Adams teaches a device comprising a frame having a socket in one side and an opening in an opposite side communicating with the socket and being less in width than the width of the socket, a transparent member sealed to the rear wall of the socket about the opening, a display carrier behind the transparent member, a plate in the socket having a central boss thereon, and a support attached to the frame and adapted to engage the boss on the plate and press the plate and the carrier firmly against the transparent member.
A FOURTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 2,193,747 to Thompson teaches a signal comprising a staff having a flag at its upper end, a base member having an offset terminating in a flange which is adapted to receive means for its connection to a post. The offset locates the staff to one side of said post. A spring coupling joins the lower end of the staff to the base member. The member stands at a pitch in respect to the flange and leans toward the post, causing the staff to incline away from the vertical and toward the axis of the post. A signal comprises a staff, and a base member having a flange to receive means for its connection to a support. The base member has an offset locating the staff to one side of the support. A spring coupling joins the staff to the base member, and a flag plate is rigidly secured to the top of the staff in permanent substantial line with the offset.
A FIFTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 2,663,104 to Hoagland teaches in combination, a hollow column and a display card. The column is polygonal in cross section and has integral end flaps turned inside the column around the upper edge thereof. The display card has a zone for bearing desired indicia, a tongue projecting from one edge of the zone and inserted inside the column, a first pair of tabs extending laterally outwardly along one side of said tongue, and a second pair of tabs extending laterally outwardly from the other side of said tongue. The tabs are separated from adjacent tabs by laterally extending slits and from the zone by laterally extending slits. The tabs of each of the pairs are folded in opposite directions to lie against the inside of the column. The length of each of said tabs by which the tabs project outwardly beyond the tongue is substantially equal to one-half of the width of the column along the line which the tabs lie. The lowermost of the tabs fitting under the lower edges of said end flaps of said column, whereby said display card is locked against disengagement from said column.
A SIXTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 3,977,110 to Yerger teaches a decorative marker particularly suited for use as a grave marker. The marker comprises a one-piece molded rigid plastic assembly with an embossed decorative metalized legend on the front surface and four axially aligned bosses on the rear surface adapted for securely mounting the marker to a ground support rod and for support of a removable flagstaff.
A SEVENTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 4,079,530 to Atherton et al. teaches an identification marker as a garden market to indicate crop rows. The marker has an elastic backing including a plate having a front first label support surface, an elongated stake mounted to the bottom of the plate and depending downwardly therefrom, and a supporting rib integral with back surfaces of the plate and stake and extending rearwardly therefrom. A frame as adapted for selected face-to-face contact with the plate. The frame includes an inner frame portion which defines a display opening, and an outer frame portion surrounding the inner frame portion. An outer frame portion back surface abuts the plate front surface during said selected contact, while an inner frame portion back surface, parallel to and forward with respect to the outer frame back surface, comprises a second label support surface. A retaining wall is between the inner and outer frame back surfaces. The marker further includes means for maintaining said selected face-to-face contact. The means are adapted to allow slidable insertion of a display label or seed pack through a passageway between the frame and the plate to a display position wherein the label is supported between the first and second label supporting surfaces inwardly of the retaining wall, one face of the label being viewable through the display opening.
AN EIGHTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 4,196,533 to Kamphausen teaches a plant or garden marker comprising a stake element preferably of plastic material having a stem or shank portion with a sharp point at one end thereof and an enlarged planar mounting surface at the opposite end thereof. An identification member such as a decal is removably applied to the mounting surface and serves to identify plants by means of graphic information or indicia or both. The identification member also can be a sheet element provided with pressure sensitive adhesive. The mounting surface is outlined by a rib-like formation which outlines the location of the identification member. Various identification members can be purchased separately according to different varieties of plants the user intends to grow, and a selected member is affixed to a stake element which then is driven by hand into the ground adjacent the plant or plants to be identified. The same stake element can be used with different identification members simply by removing an old one and replacing it with a new member. The shank portion is reinforced by a pair of rib-like elements extending therealong of generally U-shaped cross section.
A NINTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 4,304,059 to Tisbo et al. teaches an improved open face garden market which is a molded unitary plastic device. The instant market includes an open continuous ring having a plurality of ears formed integral with the interior of the ring extending inward. The ears are staggered for receiving an indicating indicia between the ears and holding the indicia between the ears. A shank is formed integral with the continuous ring and extends outward from the ring. The shank has a point on one end for engagement with the earth to facilitate insertion of the marker into the earth. Measuring indicia is formed integral with the shank for indicating depth of insertion of the shank into earth.
A TENTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 4,584,213 to Rentowl teaches a commemorative card that is formed from water impervious or water resistant material and is provided with means for mounting at least one fresh or artificial flower thereon. Where the card is to carry a fresh flower or flowers, means for supplying moisture to the flower or flowers, such as a water-retentive hard foamed plastics material, may be provided to keep the flower or flowers fresh. The water retentive material may be mounted in a pocket or recess formed at the rear of the card, the flower stem or stems passing through an aperture in the card. A region is provided on the face of the card which is receptive to ink
