ABSTRACT:
The combination of a casket and non-invasive externally removable hardware for lifting the casket. The combination comprises a casket shell including a socket in a wall thereof, a plate, a handle operably connected to the plate for lifting the casket, a stud passing through the plate, means for translating the stud relative to the plate, a retainer connected to the stud, and resilient material surrounding the stud and disposed between the plate and the retainer. The handle, when the stud is inserted into the casket shell wall socket, is removably securable to the casket shell upon actuation of the translating means to translate the stud and retainer toward the plate compressing the resilient material therebetween and causing the resilient material to swell to fill the socket. In a preferred form, the plate has opposed surfaces and the stud has opposed ends, and the translating means comprises a cam pivotally connected to one of the stud ends and actuatable against one of the plate surfaces to translate the stud relative to the plate. The plate is a part of a clevis and the handle is a handle bar connected to an arm which is pivotally connected to the clevis. The stud is a threaded bolt and the retainer is a mateably threaded nut threaded onto the bolt. The resilient material is an elongated rubber bushing.
